I lived in Raleigh for over 10 years and Five Star has been my favorite restaurant for the past 5. I still drive 2 hours from the coast just to eat there. The portions are huge for the money and they are oh so tasty. My favorites are the pot stickers, the won ton soup and the Five Star General's chicken. In other reviews, I keep seeing names( i.e. Kung Pau, etc. do not exist on the menu at Five Star) for entrees that you would see at a typical Chinese restaurant where every menu is the same. If that is what you are expecting, then Five Star is not for you. You cannot compare Five Star to other Chinese menus. I've had most everything on the menu and it is all fabulous. The staff, atmosphere, service and quality are all A+.
Pros: food, service, atmosphere
Cons: parking
