I test Asian restaurants by the egg rolls. This place, although it's take-out only, has the best so far.

I’ve been ordering from 5 spice since they opened more than 12 years ago. It’s fresh, always consistent and very good. They are accommodating to special orders and very friendly. You don’t feel heavy or bloated after you eat it because it’s not packed full...of msg. I’ve eaten at nearly every Asian food restaurant in the city of Minneapolis and 5 spice is just as good if not better. We always order when we drive up to the burbs. Very good quality, fresh and delicious food.More
We take out from there fairly regularly. They have the usual variety of Asian dishes, and everything we've tried is quite good. The egg rolls are our favorite and we always get plenty of those. The flavor is great and the dipping sauce puts them...over the top for being delicious! Orders are filled quickly, and the location is handy to the Blaine/Andover/Ham Lake area. Highly recommended!More
I travel for work and have had any and all Asian food from takeout to gourmet...this is definitely mediocre at best. The beef was mushy and the garlic beef flavor was like they dumped a bottle of teriyaki sauce into the dish. The curry chicken...was overly sweet and while plentiful with meat and veggies was just plain bad. I would not recommend this place.More
As always. Huge portions. Great food friendly service. A great place for lunch or dinner. Friendly. Family owned.
When our favorite Chinese takeout place in Blaine changed hands, we were very disappointed with the new owner’s food. We were thrilled to discover 5 Spice. Portions and prices are good and we are surprised at the generous amounts of meat in dishes that are...usually heavy on vegetables. A favorite of ours is the Szechuan Beef, which is just the right amount of spicy.More
Love this place. Always friendly and always great food. Homemade fresh while you wait. Family run. Love everything we have ordered from there. Great lunch specials!!
I love this place! The food is so fresh and delicious. I highly recommend their sesame chicken and egg rolls. I love that when you order extra spicy here it's actually spicy unlike most other Chinese restaurants.
I was super disappointed with the food at this takeout restaurant. The chicken in the cashew chicken tasted old. The orange chicken was Doughy so it wasn't cooked properly. I maybe should have known when I got there. Behind the counter it looked like a...storage room. There were no customers in the restaurant and it was 5:30 PM on a weekday night.More
excellent full portions in little time - we have enjoyed everything we've tried here. We always do it for take out, but there are a few tables if you wanted to eat in the restaurant. When we call in an order it has always been...ready when they said it would be ... great fried rice!More
I've tried several of their lunch specials - lemon chicken, Mongolian chicken, Beef w/broccoli, sweet & sour, and others.. Everything has been delicious. Hands down, for me the best Asian food in the area! Their chicken and beef are always tender and well cooked, with...little or no fat. Flavors are vibrant and spot-on for what you order. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because the people working the register aren't always so friendly. It's not that they're rude, just not friendly. You have to ask for utensils (even though you're getting takeout and they don't have a self-serve station for it. I also wish they had fountain pop.More
The wife and I stopped on our way home, we ordered Sesame chicken/fried rice and Szechuan Beef/fried rice- and two egg rolls... Everything tasted fresh/good. The egg rolls some of the best I've had in some time. Ummm good folks. Come and get it.
I have tried many many other places and no one compares to 5 Spice! SO GOOD! My only complaint is they are not open Sundays....Nothing worse than craving 5 Spice on a Sunday!
I did not call ahead and did have to wait for 15 minutes but it was worth it. I had lemon chicken and the chicken seemed very fresh. The portion was huge, enough for two dinners. I would suggest calling ahead to avoid a wait....I will visit again.More
I just moved to the area and I quickly found out that this is the best asian takeout anywhere nearby. I'll save you some time, and tell you that the best items they serve are the egg rolls, sesame chicken, and chicken coconut curry. You...can call ahead, otherwise I've walked in and the food will always be ready in less than 10 minutes, and sometimes less than 5 minutes. Prices are reasonable as well. Also please note that you can eat-in only at lunch, as dinner is take-out only.More
