Visited Five Star in their new location. Very nice place - they have upgraded and have electricity! (Just Kidding but their old place was too dark). Food was again very good and hopefully will stay consistent. This was our first time eating in a restaurant since March - good to get out.

I have been searching for years for a decent sit in restaurant for Chinese food. I was excited when i saw Five Star. The tables are extremely close and the man next to me had to use my table to support himself while getting up from his table. There wasn't anything special or that blew me away. The best thing we had were the shrimp spring rolls. We ordered the lettuce wraps and they were blah and difficult to eat since they used iceburg lettuce instead of bib lettuce. The pad Thai noodles with shrip were ok. The noodles were thick and not the traditional rice noodles. Having said this, the place was packed. The good side is we found Wye Hill Kitchen and Brewing which has amazing outdoor seating and a spectacular view of the city.

I was searching for a good Chinese food restaurant and Five Star came up. I didn’t know that this place existed. In looking at the menu it looked a little pricey to me, but I decided to try it anyway. The restaurant opens at 5 so I called at about 5:10 to get a to go order of hot and sour soup, spring rolls, shrimp fried rice, and Kung Pao chicken. The soup container was less than halfway full. The shrimp fried rice was simply that, shrimp and rice, no onion or egg. The Kung Pao chicken was a thin covering on the bottom of the container with a few peanuts. They also neglected to give me rice with the entree. The food tasted pretty good, but this Is not the place for take-out. I will probably not go back.

The food was great- all of our food tasted great and the portions were very generous. The service was so so. A little slow and it did not all come out at the same time. I would definitely recommend and go back.

Excellent food and excellent service. If you are craving an outstanding Chinese dinner, go to Five Star. Easily the best Chinese food in the Triangle.
