Five Star Chinese - Toms River

The lady who answered the phone was a little sarcastic because I guess she was getting annoyed with me because I’m particular on how I want my food anyways I ignored the sarcasm … The food was uuugghhh ok … when being lazy bamboo gardens 2 is my delivery place omg the sauce to everything is just so delicious anyways they were closed . And I didn’t feel like driving to china express on hooper which is the best Chinese food out here hands down so I tried this place nothing to brag about ! The delivery was fast and delivery guy was extremely nice … my fried chicken in garlic sauce is a no for me chicken is soft no crunch smh the shrimp fried rice barely any shrimp and the chicken and broccoli is nothing to get excited over …

Food was great but we spent almost $70 and did not get any the the free egg rolls or rice they advertise. We would have ordered egg rolls if I knew they weren't going to honor their advertising and wouldn't have 2 crying kids now.

The prices are getting ridiculous they are not allowing certain combinations so you blow more money by buying everything separately.

I received a very friendly greeting by the counter staff who was very helpful. I ordered the Sichuan chicken lunch special with hot and sour soup. The soup was lackluster and was actually more sweet than anything else. Further the soup was much to thick and had obviously been thickened with too much cornstarch slurry. The chicken dish was nothing to write home about and appeared to have been artificially colored red. Again mire sweet than piquant as a Sichuan dish should be. Don't think I'll be back.

This is basically a take out places with a couple of tables by the door. I have no problem with that because it's clearly meant to be a take out place...but the food is greasy. I ordered a lunch special shrimp with broccoli and an egg roll and pork fried rice but it was all too greasy.
