If you're anywhere in the Poconos and craving Chinese food, stop what you're doing and go here immediately. This place is the definition of a five‑star hidden gem. The moment you walk through the door, you're welcomed with a warm, genuine smile that makes you feel like family. No frills, no gimmicks -- just pure, unforgettable flavor. The food? Absolutely out of this world. This is the kind of spot that reminds you why "hole in the wall" places are always the best. The chicken with curry is hands‑down the best I've ever tasted -- rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. And the hot and spicy chicken? Legendary. Fiery, flavorful, and cooked to perfection every single time. This restaurant doesn't just serve great food -- it sets the standard for what great food should be. Five stars isn't enough. It's the Poconos' reigning champion of Chinese cuisine, and it lives up to its name in every possible way. read more

I need to go back here and try some other items before totally deciding, but this was a pretty rough stop. A few of my friends said this is their favorite Chinese takeout so I finally made it up to give it a shot. I got the shrimp with garlic sauce combo and an order of Szechuan wontons. The woman was friendly and spoke solid English. The establishment was downright greasy...but honestly what Chinese place isn't? The wontons themselves had very little filling in them. It was all crunch and no body. The sauce was also just ... not good. Tasted closer to American bbq sauce than it did any spicy Szechuan sauce I've ever had. Also zero spice to the sauce. There were also peas and carrots in the container. Like ... what? This was a huge letdown. I ate 2. The shrimp with garlic sauce had 4 shrimp in the container. The shrimp tasted great, and their garlic sauce was solid, but 4 shrimp. I should have gotten the chicken. I normally order chicken with broccoli and have them sub garlic sauce when I get Chinese takeout. I should have done that. There was also a plethora of vegetables in this that were just taking up the space the shrimp were missing from. Baby corn, water chestnuts, large chunks of mushroom/onion/pepper, snowpeas...you name it. The one highlight of the food here was the fried rice wasn't just generic yellowish rice in a container. This was actual fried rice, which is hard to come by in these parts. The egg roll was unremarkable. I'll go back and try other stuff at some point but for now - Five Star Chinese -Sucked. read more

Ordered beef and broccoli , chicken broccoli...and Food was delicious but it's deep fried and too oily. Will pass for future visits.

The worst customer service I have ever experienced the person who answered the phone literally started cursing and using foul and offensive language from me just asking a simple question. I would not recommend wasting your time or money with this business that does not know how to speak to customers respectively. read more

Worst experience ever. Someone had a terrible day. Nothing like paying for your order that was 20 minutes late to begin with driving all the way home and finding out you did not get what you ordered. This is not general sales chicken combo with pork, fried rice, eggroll. This is not house special how fun, this is not 2 shrimp rolls, fried dumplings, a quart of how special fried rice read more

Five Star Chinese - Definitely not what we ordered and paid for - Chinese Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Food is great with great prices!! Go here at least once a week. Lemon chicken a must Wonton soup is the best read more

I come here every Wednesday after work, it has always been a very pleasant experience with kind staff and wonderful food.

Only good Chinese food around for takeout. I drive here from broadheadsville! Thank god it exists.

I realize this is a strong statement, but in the two days we have been in Pennsylvania, this was the greatest Chinese food I have had. We are only staying for three days. Even though there was only takeout available and the restaurant was rather small, the dish had an incredible flavor. It was well worth the effort. The cuisine is served in a very large portion, and the staff is genuinely kind. The service was also excellent. We were craving for Chinese food while we were at Great Wolf Lodge. Words cannot express how quickly we devoured the dish because it was really that delicious. This is a Chinese restaurant that we will most definitely visit again if we ever visit Pennsylvania. read more

Amazing food the people that work there are extremely helpful with helping you choose the exact right meal for you would highly recommend

Very good take out Chinese food. Only place I go when I'm in the mood for Chinese food.

Prices high. Food good .............shouldn't have to write 85 characters. Let's Go Brandon.

$13.99 Delivery fee added to your bill. Food was disgusting. You order lomein and get rice with it. Tired of these hustlers taking advanced of what's happening. read more

Very good food. They also have Roast Pork Buns...and I can't find them anywhere!! I drive 10 miles just for the better taste and menu options. read more

Just ok , fried dumplings were very good, egg rolls were subpar, the lomein was ok and the pork fried rice was bland. Not the worst and not the best read more

We've been going there for years. A couple years ago the food got so consistently bad, we quit for a couple years. Recently we started again, and while it was far from the best, it was still ok. Now, after giving them another shot, I got something that was horrid. I called them and after some discussion, they told me I had to bring my food back to get my $4.00 credit. Obviously it is not the money. It is the combination of their total lack of customer appreciation, poor quality food and miserliness. I made a point of letting them know they'll never get a dime from me again. They got a one star because it was the lowest option. read more

It may be tucked away behind a Sunoco, but this tiny restaurant is on our "must eat" list when we're in the Poconos. It's primarily a take out place, but they do have two tables if you want to dine in. Fast service. Great food. Steamed dumplings--ftw. read more

Five Star Chinese - a meal in a plastic container - Chinese Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Food is very yummy and quick service with good prices! My nephew loves to get food from here every week.

Five Star Chinese is currently the best Chinese takeout in the area. Happy Garden used to be the best before the original owners sold the business. I recommend this restaurant for the quality of their food, however; because they are good they are usually crowded. It's worth the wait. read more

It's a small place BUT IMHO has some of the best Chinese food in the Pocono's. It's the only place we go for Take Out.

I ordered food here on my lunch break because of the many positive reviews. Upon arrival at Five Star I was a bit concerned, as their restaurant was downright filthy. The front area of the restaurant had accumulated grease and grime on their pictorial menus, the counter, the wall, etc. I'm not a prude, and I get that some of the best food in the world comes out of street vendors and places that don't meet US standards of food service cleanliness, but this was shocking primarily because it was so visible to the customer and so built up. Afterwards, I went onto the state's Food Safety Inspector webpage and saw that this restaurant has been cited multiple times for cleanliness issues, including leaving rags out, not properly using their sink to wash their hands, and the built up grease and grime I discussed (amongst other things). The food was good -- not great, but definitely good. I'm giving them 3 stars because, again, I'm not a prude about cleanliness and the food was actually good. I watched them make my food, so I was certain it wasn't done poorly or contaminated in any way, but had I not seen them make my food I may have hesitated to eat it based on the condition of the customer-area in their restaurant. If I needed a quick bite to eat I might consider them again, but I do hope they clean up. read more

Always fast, clean and great food. Dinner portions are great size and prices. I have enjoyed everything that I have ever ordered from here! The wanton soup is the best! read more

This restaurant is definitely one of, if not the best Chinese restaurant in the area. I grew up eating authentic Chinese food in the restaurants Chinese people frequented in Chinatown NYC, whose best friend's mother taught Chinese cooking in Queens, in addition to traveling to China, and this restaurant come closest to the real thing as I've encountered in my 20+ years in the area. Great food at comparable prices. read more

Best Chinese food around. They are always busy, no need to wait forever for your food and it is delicious. Very quick service. Keep up the great work. read more

My least favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. Their prices are good don't get me wrong, they have the most affordable Singapore mei fun in the area as far as I've discovered, but they don't do good business. I ordered a lunch special chicken and broccoli once (like $5-$6) And was charged nearly $9 because they put it down as a combo and threw in an egg roll. Another time they charged me for a tip I didn't approve. I noticed. I told myself I wouldn't order from them again but I did once more out of convenience and was not thrilled. I waited 20 minutes of my husbands 30 minute break waiting for a single egg roll. Not fond of this place at all, but if you're not picky and want cheap Chinese in stroudsburg this is your place. read more

Consistently good food, always super busy yet so patient with everyone in spite of dealing with stupid and rude people. Heard customers complaining about waiting in line to order..seriously? Do you not have a cellphone? Just order ahead and make their lives and yours much easier. They deserve big tips! read more

I absolutely love this Chinese place! As a vegetarian they offer a lot of veggie loving options and also will accommodate you if you'd like to alter certain dishes! I usually get either the veggie lo mein or fried rice and then get extra veggies and fried tofu! My boyfriend absolutely loves their steamed pork dumplings and the chicken and broccoli combo, the only downside is the place doesn't really have room for eating in. read more

i usually come here often but today i found a bug in my shrimp fried rice. be sure to look at your food before you eat it!!!! read more

Five Star Chinese - a white plate with pasta and other food items - Chinese Near Me - Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Having had food poisoning in the past from bad Chinese food, I have become very picky where I go for Chinese. This place is consistent and after using them every few weeks for about a year now I trust there quality and have not ever gotten sick from there food. Fair prices, on weekends they'll throw you some free stuff or soda's here and there. Do not plan on eating here if you're more than one person, there's a table or two but this place is take out only! read more

Tasty, American-style Chinese. Not outstanding but pretty good, especially for the Poconos. Reasonably priced and satisfies the takeout craving. I will likely order again. read more

Standard Chinese takeout. Consistent quality. Nothing amazing, but probably the best Chinese in the poconos.

My absolute favorite Chinese food in the Poconos. Being from NYC this can be hard to find. Really great General Tso Chicken. The soups are good as well. I have never had a bad meal from here and I eat Chinese often. read more

I thought the food was terrible. Pros were that it was clean, the one man behind the counter knew what he was doing, and he didn't short me anything like other restaurants around here tend to do. read more

This is not the best Chinese food but at least It was food. The food was not great at all we had white rice, spring rolls, sesame chicken, and general soy chicken and It was not good at all. The restraint also looked old and dirty. It was close to I-81 so we got It because we didn't want fast food. Wished we had McDonald's instead and It was expensive for no reason. read more

I have been going to this take out Restaurant since right after they opened in this location. It was convenient, prices fair..and portions reasonable. They are usually busy which is a good indicator of how others feel about this Chinese spot. However, the last two times I have ordered for pick up.... the food has been below the quality I have come to expect. The first time I attributed it to the newish staff and counter guy. I was used to the lady manning the front and doing the fry and it was always spot on. Tonight after a lull, we opted to try again. I should have realized a problem could be forthcoming as they gave me a ten minute turn around, which is not normal, as I was told that they were not busy. Unusual for a Saturday at 6 pm. I ordered by phone and my food was waiting when I got there. Not only was an item missing which I did pay for, but the food was lacking the quality I have come to expect. It was cold and my shrimp dishes were lacking the usual amount of shrimp I had always had before. In fact one was missing the shrimp entirely. Now I could have gone back and had them redo the order while I waited, but instead of driving back over, waiting, and driving back ... we ate so as not to have a late dinner. I'm not sure I will be going back but I do plan on returning with my menu/ receipt and my complaint. ' I really can't recommend this spot any longer until either the original staff is back. A once great quick place has fallen into my "do not eat here" list. read more

Very rude cashier...they need to learn customer service. The food isn't bad but when you are servicing people, learn some respect!

The last time I went there, January of 2016, the normal front counter guy was not there. The place was a little slow and the cooks were not busy. Both cooks were playing with their mobile phones, then put the phones away and started to handle the food with their bare hands - no washing, Someone was in the back, behind the large chiller, smoking cigarette. The place wreaked of smoke. hen after the food was cooked they spilled some onto the prep area while pouring the food into the takeout tray. They just slid that food into takeout tray and then quickly looked to the front counter to see if anyone noticed, I hardly think this is the type of place I want to eat at again. read more

The VERY VERY Chinese food in the Pocono's! I go so many times, they just start cooking when the see me. Also when I call, they know me by voice and call me by name. Everything I ever tried has been so good. You will not be disappointed. They do have a few tables but this gem is mostly for take out. read more

Good quality Chinese food but they are super always and wait times can get crazy. If you don't mind waiting then this place is great.
