Five Star Seafood Restaurant

Dim sum brunch with my girlfriend and her sister. The staff brings the dim sum carts to the table and you pick the items that you want to eat. The steamer trays are placed on your table and your dining sheet is stamped for each item you get. Pay at the end a flat price per item. Her sister treated so I am not certain but I believe she said it was $5.50 per order. Basically a large open room filled with tables so the noise level is fairly high with people chatting amongst themselves. There were a few other non Asian patrons so I wasn't the only person there who wasn't Chinese. I expect that we'll return.

I've been going here for over a decade. Great value for money dimsum. It's the type of place where they roll the dimsum trolleys around with the dishes and you order from the trolley ladies. The atmosphere is loud and full of Chinese families. My only slight complaint from today's visit was that the food felt extra salty. Like the sauces were all heavy on the salt. Needed a lot of tea to wash down the salt. It's been better in past years. Maybe they just had a heavy handed salt chef today. It very busy on weekends so make sure you get there early to wait for a table

Good dim sum during peak holiday hours. This place was packed for lunar new years with about an hour wait despite being a huge restaurant. Spacious seating and lots of natural lighting brighten up the ambiance here. Service is typical, you need to be aggressive to get dishes and items you want otherwise you'll be waiting around forever. Enjoyed the honey walnut shrimp and duck, even though the duck took more than 30 minutes to get.

Did ya know that Five Star Seafood Restaurant have a dinner deal "Spend over $35 and get free 2lbs of shrimp"? I just found out from my parents they have a sign in their waiting area about this deal (in Chinese), and you have to ask for it when you order. They don't automatically give it to you.I came here on Sunday evening with my parents, and this place was packed during dinner time. We had to wait for our table but it wasn't too bad of a wait thankfully. We ordered 4 dishes + the free 2lb shrimp, but only got 3 dishes since they keep bringing the wrong dish to us. We had ordered soft tofu with preserved tofu, but they kept bringing a broccoli dish. My parents said the Chinese character for the dish is almost the same so the chef might have misread it and cooked the wrong dish for us so we had to tell them 4 times it wasn't our dish. It was pretty silly considering the order was correctly placed in their machine but it just was the cook making the mistake multiple times. Anyhow the tofu dish is pretty good here, I have tried it previously before. I also really loved their steam fish, Hainan chicken, and soups. They offer a wide variety of menu items so this place is fun to go since it has everything you want. They also offer complimentary dessert. They don't offer complimentary soup though, since my parents said they only offer that for lunch menu and not for dinner menu. The venue itself gives nostagia so I enjoy coming here. The only thing that sucks right now is that this plaza is completely dead so you can't wander after a meal. I remember them having tons of stores but due to remodeling, majority of the stores are closed except for Ranch 99, a boba shop, and Daiso.

Stopped by for dim sum on a Saturday around lunch. Surprisingly got seated pretty quickly, which was nice. They still use the traditional push carts, but the selection was lacking--felt like the carts weren't as stocked as they should be. A lot of people were walking up to the carts, trying to grab what they wanted.As for the dim sum, it's solid but pretty average--nothing really stood out to me, especially for the price. Service was okay.For a place called Five Star, I'd honestly rate it closer to 3.5. I'd come back, but it's not at the top of my list.

Dim sum was excellent! They have so many variety dim sim. If you order food in a bowl, it's filled and overflowing with food and sauce! For instance, a bowl of cow stomach comes with spleen, turnip and sauce! All their dim sum is delicious! They have carts of dim sum going from table to table. A typical Chinese restaurant, there's a lot of chatter but enjoyable chatter. The feel of the restaurant is nostalgic to me. First come first serve. They don't take reservations. The wait could be up to 20-30 minutes but so worth it.

I came here many many years ago for dim sum. It looked quite different before. It may have been different ownership before. This time came with my SO and we thought it was decent. This place ain't clean. Plates aren't fully clean. Bathroom stinks with fumes of smoke. That's how you know this place is legit. If you ok with that, you get some good dim sum. This place is huge and they got carts coming around. I think all the dim sum dishes were same price. They didn't have separate pricing. It was like ~$5-6 dollars a plate. It's kinda the norm now. Pretty busy on a tuesday lunch time.

So many memories at Five Star (previously New Capital)!! Before COVID-19, my family used to come here weekly. No joke, sometimes even multiple times a week during the summer. Without the dim sum ladies and the busy busboys, it's not quite the same experience these days. They've been hit hard by the pandemic... so show them some love. It will be a sad day if the large Cantonese banquet style restaurants are no longer... SPACE: What used to be the whole top floor has now been decreased to less than half. From the elevators, go up to 4th, turn left and around the corner are tables with pens and menus. Red tape on the floor for 6 feet apart and plenty of space to wait since they removed all their tables. There's also giant plexiglass between register and you during payment. MENU: Limited to the traditional dishes and they don't have their special weekend experiments (my grandma is sad they don't have their taro tower anymore). They also have the normal lunch/dinner menu so you can order noodles and other entree dishes. Accept walk in orders and phone orders. I saw some delivery folks from fantuan, so I assume they partner for delivery. PICK UP: When your order is ready, they will put the bag out on the table with receipt (they ask your name when ordering)and call your name. PRICE: Carry out is flat $3.49 per dish plus tax. Believe this price is decent, I've seen some places charge upwards of $4 per dish (especially the ones that do tiered menu). PAYMENT: Credit cards accepted (Visa / MasterCard only, no Amex). Cash accepted too.

High quality food in town! Fresh and great taste. All items and fair price. Easy parking

INSULTING CUSTOMER SERVICE We went there for dinner. The 4 dishes we ordered were good except one, the beef. Don't go there if you expect decent service. Don't even think of going there for special occasion celebrations. You will get disappointed. The beef dish (#176 Fillet Steak with Wild Mushrooms) was false advertising. It didn't look at all as pictured in the menu. When questioned, a chief server, pointing to our server, and said to us, "he doesn't look like the picture in his driver license either". What does that even suppose to mean?! What a jerk! We didn't want to sink to his low level and didn't want to ruin our anniversary so we just let it go. It's also because you simply can't reason with this kind of people.
