Disappointing Experience at Five Star They should be renamed 1 star ! Unfortunately, it was an unpleasant experience tonight. While the food itself I have not eaten yet, what really stood out was the appalling behavior of the staff. From the moment I walked in, I felt uncomfortable by the way I was treated—there seemed to be an underlying sense of racism in the way I was addressed and served.
The staff was dismissive and inattentive, and when it came time to pick up my order, the service was rushed and impersonal. It was disheartening to be treated this way, especially when other patrons were given much more courteous attention.
I truly believe that everyone should feel welcomed and respected in any restaurant, and this experience left me feeling disappointed and upset. I hope the management takes the time to address these issues and ensure that all customers, regardless of background, are treated with fairness and dignity.
While I cannot speak to whether this behavior is reflective of the entire establishment, it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. I won’t be returning anytime soon.
This place is always busy. The staff are fast and efficient and the orders are always correct.
My only complaint would be the food. It tends to be far more "greasy" than other Chinese take-outs that I've gotten food from. Other than that, the food tastes good and it's prepared properly.

Consistently good simple american chinese food. Always fresh, always tasty, and always pretty much exactly what you’d expect from any given dish for a restaurant of this style.

First time here. Food was decent, good portions, fair prices. It was very busy with phone and walk in orders while I was waiting, so I take that as a good sign. Will try ordering again in the future.

Food is so nasty I don't know how they are rated 4.2 stars-someone's lying? seriously the worst "Chinese" food I've ever tasted. I took 2 bites & the rest went in the trash. Yellow rice ("pork fried") tasted like mushy cardboard. Nothing like how pork fried rice is supposed to taste or look. Chicken had barely any sauce.. will never return.
I need to go back here and try some other items before totally deciding, but this was a pretty rough stop. A few of my friends said this is their favorite Chinese takeout so I finally made it up to give it a shot. I got the shrimp with garlic sauce combo and an order of Szechuan wontons. The woman was friendly and spoke solid English. The establishment was downright greasy…but honestly what Chinese place isn’t?
The wontons themselves had very little filling in them. It was all crunch and no body. The sauce was also just … not good. Tasted closer to American bbq sauce than it did any spicy Szechuan sauce I’ve ever had. Also zero spice to the sauce. There were also peas and carrots in the container. Like … what? This was a huge letdown. I ate 2.
The shrimp with garlic sauce had 4 shrimp in the container. The shrimp tasted great, and their garlic sauce was solid, but 4 shrimp. I should have gotten the chicken. I normally order chicken with broccoli and have them sub garlic sauce when I get Chinese takeout. I should have done that. There was also a plethora of vegetables in this that were just taking up the space the shrimp were missing from. Baby corn, water chestnuts, large chunks of mushroom/onion/pepper, snowpeas…you name it. The one highlight of the food here was the fried rice wasn’t just generic yellowish rice in a container. This was actual fried rice, which is hard to come by in these parts.
The egg roll was unremarkable. I’ll go back and try other stuff at some point but for now - Five Star Chinese -Sucked.

We have been getting takeout here almost weekly for the past year and a half. Food has always been excellent. Something is happening lately...we always get fried wontons, the past two weeks they are so hard you can't eat them. Tonight's egg rolls were dripping with grease, the boneless spare ribs were half fat/gristle, it was very unappetizing. The Egg Foo Young was the worst I have ever tried to eat anywhere, I couldn't cut portions of the egg. I basically threw everything away. My husband got the sweet and sour chicken, which was very greasy. I'm very disappointed and hope that whatever is going on, gets fixed.We have really enjoyed Five Star in the past....maybe its a new cook.
