Asian takeout joints can be hit or miss. When they miss, it's really bad. Been there, done that.
But sometimes you stumble across one that really shines. Such is the case with 5 Spice in Blaine. I discovered this little gold mine a few months ago. My job takes me all over the north metro, and I always look forward to a trip up highway 65 around lunch time.
5 Spice serves up the tastiest Chinese food, using fresh ingredients. Their beef lo mein is incredible and the sesame chicken has just the right amount of kick. The service is fast and friendly. Though it's mainly a take-out, they do have some seating there. -

We used to go here all the time (it was in our backyard) and it was definitely a 5 but we just went a week ago and it's slipped a little.
The sesame chicken is amazing and you can get it spicy (a rarity). It comes with these crispy wonton chips which actually stay crispy the next day and somehow make the chicken stay moist.
The Vietnamese Lemon Grass chicken is also a tasty and spicy treat. We normally get the Lo Mein for our daughters (and have some ourselves) but stay clear of the Pad Thai. -

Great crunchy veggies in the Spicy Lemongrass Chicken and Cashew Chicken. The Combo Lo Mein has wonderful flavor. Ordered when we got there and the food was done super fast. Just wish there was a website with their menu (there are some good pictures on their facebook page but not the entire menu).

Finally, there is a decent place to get Asian take-out in the northern suburbs. The place is very nice, clean and appears to be quite new.
The food is made-to-order, the service fast and the food is delicious. I don't call ahead because the chef can whip up the food in a few minutes so it is piping hot when I get to my car.
My first time in, I ordered Moo Goo Gai Pan, Kung Pao Beef (medium heat) and deep fried creme cheese wontons. I've always found I can learn a lot about an Asian resteraunt through these simple dishes.
The many vegetables in the Moo Goo were fresh, crisp, flavorful, and not overcooked (which makes it easy to hide old veggies). Thankfully, there were no fillers slipped in there either (e.g. celery), a trick many resteraunts pull.
The Kung Pao Beef was medium heat and turned out excellent. There were large pieces of meat, all the right vegetables and the heat was indeed medium (enough to know it is there and yet you can still taste the food). Actually, this is one turned out to be our favorite and there was much fighting with my wife over the leftovers!
The Cream Cheese Wontons turned out great and even the fortune cookies were good!
It is well-hidden in the strip-mall behind the Perkins at 125th and Central. Check them out, you'll be glad you did.
One warning, this is a mom-and-pop shop; they are closed on Sundays . -

Food here is great, a little more expensive than most Chinese take out, but the portions are huge and the quality is high. I eat here at least once a month.
