I’ve been to Five Spices many times. The food is delicious, but I often have some intestinal distress afterward, possibly from the oil. Still, it’s tasty enough that I go back occasionally. The deep-fried chicken with red peppers is especially good.

This place has the best Chinese food in Cambridge!
My friend and I dined here last month. I remember clearly we ordered two single person mala pot (shown in the picture) and I paid for it. The total price should be around $50 in total after all tax and fees. After one month when I check my credit card and found I was charged $107, this is unacceptable and the restaurant should be responsible for an excuse for the charge.

My friend and I got their noodle soups and omg the portion sizes are SOOOO big and for so cheap less than $15! The broth was just right, it was not too salty or umami, and the pork ribs were tender and juicy. The noodles were fantastic as well. I would definitely come here again and the staff get to the point!

Update:
For another weekday work lunch I returned to 5 Spices House. On this Monday at 11:45am, the establishment was half full; so I received a seat immediately. This time, I ordered the 水煮類 / boiled (choice of protein, I picked fish fillets) in spicy broth off of the lunch special menu ($12).
The 水煮類 had both cabbage and bean sprouts inside. The broth was decently rich in stock and only mildly spicy. Still, it's a great way to get this dish alone (the entree size is a bit too much) and at a great price.

For a weekday work lunch I stopped by 5 Spices House. On this Thursday at 12:30pm, I easily received seating at the quarter-full establishment. I ordered the pork with bamboo tip / 筍尖肉絲 lunch special ($12), which comes with rice and soup.
The bowl of soup, hot and sour, seemed reasonable. Not too much vinegar, and a bit more soy sauce-y that I personally prefer. I wish it came out a bit hotter (temperature-wise).
The 筍尖肉絲 seemed reasonably portioned for an individual lunch special. It wasn't super oily and had tender pieces of pork (probably from tapioca powder).
Food and restaurant look so great.

At this price point, I would definitely return.
