Editorial Review for Five Star – by Rebecca Gunn

In Short
Although it was once an old tobacco warehouse, be prepared for serious city chic as you walk through the door. A long, stone bar and minimalist art complete the mood. The nouvelle Asian cuisine includes teriyaki beef--tenderloin glazed in sweet orange sauce, sprinkled with scallions and served with sauteed cabbage--and is as elegant as any of the dishes found at the more aristocratic restaurants in town, at a much better price.

The Extras

Despite what the menu says, Five Star doesn't charge an extra fee if you want to use a fork instead of chopsticks.

I have chance went to Raleigh to visit my friend, and she took me to The Five Star; I'm so surprise of those delicious CHINESE food, (because I'm a Chinese and I knew about our own food); Five Star has nice atomosphere, creative decoration, good service. Thank you, ..FIVE STAR! Great Job..... and the 5 Star Shirmp is the BEST. We (Chines) never go to C.F. Chang; if you like real Chinese Food, Five Star is the place.

This place has the best food I have ever had, better than the "wonderful" P.F. Changs. I usually have good service, but have had the experience with more than 6 people. The server won't come back because they know they will get their tip. However, they have huge portions. Whoever thinks they aren't big enough must be Jolly the Green Giant. But beware... if you aren't fluent with the chopsticks... they charge you $.75 to use a fork!!! And they don't even throw them away! They are steel, and dishwasher safe. Kind of a rip-off to me, even though it's only $.75. However, I will "fork" over the money, because it is a great place to eat!!!
