Great spot for delicious Chinese food. Very large portions with every meal (check out the attached images). The staff are very kind and quick to help you order. Would recommend to families!

I came in yesterday and ordered food to go. I also went up and ordered a Boba drink to have while I waited. I got the mangonada. The drink and food were delicious. I got the beef broccoli and the beef was tender and every piece of broccoli was cooked all the way through. (Every other Chinese restaurant it seems to be hard to find) My husband got the happy family chow fun and the only note he had was it could have used a tad bit more sauce. We also shared pot stickers, gyoza, and crab ragoons which were great. The customer service was wonderful. Everyone asked if I needed something and what the order number for my food was. I'm honestly not sure why this place wasn't packed it's such a cute restaurant inside!! Super clean. Update: I've been here a few times now for lunch and dinner and the ratings still stand

This is more of a 4.5. Ambiance, drinks, appetizers and entrees were great except for the Pad Thai (a very low effort recipe with what tasted like banana ketchup). Other than this minor exception. Service was exceptional. Made reservations for a party of 10 which was very easy and even got a text to confirm the day of. We had a very nice, private room with an electric fireplace. I would come here again and tell my friends about, however, I would order another entree not the Pad Thai again.

Amazing food and super friendly staff (Shout out to Betty). I had the lunch special Kung Pao chicken and chicken fried rice with soup and egg roll - so yummy!

I have a thing for lunch specials at Asian restaurants. You know those combos with the soup, eggroll, choice of rice AND the main dish. Often, they’re grungy places with foam plates. I’m telling you 5SK has a small but tasty lunch menu with all the above fixin’s! The eggdrop soup was good to the last drop. The eggroll was perfect with what seemed like house made sauces. Main dishes were abundant, not swimming in oil, and well seasoned. Order it spicy and you get ! Taro boba was also delicious! And all modestly priced! Support this local business! And if you eat in, the place is CLEAN!
