      My dinner was very greasy. Chicken was slimy and wierdly chewy. Waitress was surly. My wife's dinner, Lemon Grass Chicken, smelled strange. Kind of a barnyard smell, not lemon grass. Viet spring rolls were overdone. Oil needed to be changed. Overall, not what we hoped for. The other one in Louisville is worlds better.

      I ordered sweet and sour spare ribs- I reviewed the tops of spare ribs deep fried in sticky over salted sauce, not what I was hoping for.
      Not described online...
      Fried rice is also just salty colored rice no veggies in there.
      Save your money- go someplace else.

      I ordered two different kinds of meat (chicken and beef) both tasted really old and expired. There may be a quality control issue. Green beans were fine and sesame balls were good. Won't go here again.

      Honesty, if you want some authentic Chinese food this is the place. If you only want some American Chinese food, you better go to a carry out restaurant not here. The service is warm and welcoming.

      I was extremely pleased with the authentic perfectly seasoned Asian dishes served in this tiny place where
      You would not expect to find it--in a strip mall next to Safeway in North Boulder. I knew I would love the food when I realized all the other customers
      Were of Asian descent which added to
      the ambiance both at lunch and dinner. I can admit I desperately missed the BayArea Asian restaurants until I found
      5 Spices. It's a hiddenGem

      We found this place on yelp and was skeptical with the two and half stars. However, the food was amazing and the customer service was excellent! Highly recommend you to stop and try this lovely food!

      Awful. Ive never seen worse looking/or tasting crab cheese rangoons. The hot sour soup was bland and the basil fried rice was literally jalapeño fried rice.

      Never again

      Crab Rangoon   Very doughy and no filling. Literally raw dough...

      Five spice has excellent Chinese food!!! The average rating here is absurd, and it appears there has been an effort to intentionally sandbag the restaurant. One reviewer commented that Panda Express is superior. Come on, really? Panda Express is trash. Five Spice serves really good Chinese dishes.

      My wife and I have eaten from here probably 2 dozen times. When we dined in, we enjoyed a pleasant experience. The family that owns the place is very friendly. We often get delivery or pickup.

      Okay, now the food. There is a reason why I'm willing to give this place 5 stars, their food is excellent for the price. Having not eaten here in many months, I wanted to order again before giving a rating.

      I posted a pic of my order below. Everything was excellent (as we have experienced in the past for many years), especially the shiitake mushroom duck. Also, their tropical fried rice can't be beat.

      Give this place a chance. The vegetables are crisp, the flavors are delicious, and the price is right!

      Shiitake mushroom duck (outstanding); egg rolls; sesame vegetables; tropical fried rice; lo mein (clockwise from upper left).

      This is one my favorite restaurants in Boulder to get authentic Chinese food. The options are vast and all the dishes were delicious and melt in your mouth. The Host/sever was very nice and took his time to explain the dishes that we were interested in. Truly one of the best experiences in this place!!
