    Great customer service, however the food wasn’t great. Good location right next to the train station. Upon entry I was pleased, looks very authentic and has a good energy about it. The staff were great, greeted us well and came across lovely. I heard so many great reviews about this place I was excited to try it, unfortunately I left very much disappointed. We ordered our drinks, I went for a pint after noticing the draft tap, sadly I was poured a drink from a can. £3.70 for a £1 CAN of lager is not great, didn’t enjoy it wish I chose a Chinese bottled beer. We shared a starter and unfortunately It was extremely dry, as if it was cooked from frozen (chicken gyoza). My main arrived, I ordered the Szechuan beef and I can honestly say it was without a doubt the saltiest dish I have ever had in my life, I love salt but this was unbearable. I should have addressed it to them straight away however I felt bad as the customer service was so great. I ate half and couldn’t manage the rest. I may visit again to give it another go…..we will see.

    I enjoy takeaways from this place and have done for a long time…but the one reason why I’ve given them a 2 star was the significant size of the 1/4 crispy duck compared to every other time I’ve ordered from here. It was tiny…I’m not sure if this was a one off..but if it’s not…I’ll stop ordering from them period!

    Really good Chinese resturant. The layout and decor really good. Staff really professsional and attentive. Food was well presented. They have a good menu with few specialised options which you need to order 48 hours before. Worst thing I can say is they little bit pricey.

    Best Chinese food I've had in a long time! Perfectly balanced flavours in all dishes. Extremely tasty. Highly recommend the salt and pepper prawns. Incredible!

    Not very good food but served very quickly and by friendly staff. The restaurant is quite big and spacious, plenty of big tables. Good for all group sizes. Staff are very friendly and helpful and nice in general. Food arrived very quickly, literally about 3 minutes after ordering everything came. It was rather disappointing tho, pretty bad flavours and just not that tasty. Such a shame! The beef was all rather chewy and not very nice cuts, the noodles we over cooked and served with dry pieces of meat, tsu mai were also over cooked and not very nice meat inside. Hotpot was ok, just pretty average.

    Ive always rated Five Spice but last night left really disapointed, It wasnt at all busy yet felt rushed by the staff? The food was really not up to much? The duck we ordered arrived as lamb? The chilli beef was so chewy .. tasteless dishes. Its a shame as its always had my rating

    Looking forward to the Chinese with friends unfortunately VERY very disappointed. Lemon chicken was soggy with no lemon sauce, crispy chilli chicken was cold and no flavour. I feel they watered down the dishes with no flavour and cheap quality of food. The duck wasn't crispy and extremely soggy. Avoid at all costs waste of MONEY.

    What a lovely experience with the best food. Have been to several Chinese in the area and this is the best by far. Freshly cooked. Hot and tasty. Service was also great. Thank you to all!

    Excellent Chinese restaurant, had takeaway and eaten in here many times. Food is plentiful and absolutely delicious. Draft Stella too.

    I loved everything about it. The food tasted so good, the service was curteous and the atmosphere was relaxed. I was there on my birthday, Sunday, June 18th, 2023. They didn't know it was my birthday, but they didn’t treat me any less special.

    Went here for my Nieces Birthday meal. Food was delicious, lovely atmosphere and the staff really made the experience worthwhile, very friendly and engaging and also came out with some little bracelets for the kids. Will definitely be visiting again!

    We were looking for a chinese that could cater for the vegans in our family (it was his birthday treat), we ordered online, were called to tell us collection time and waited for a bit we arrived - but lovely food and leftovers have been frozen.

  • 4/5 Rob P. 2 years ago on Google
    Big menu with some good classic Chinese takeaway dishes, as well as a few more authentic dishes and a private pre order only menu!! We had the standard menu and all the food was well cooked and enjoyable. Five spice is certainly better than your average Chinese takeaway, but is not outstanding or worth a detour. If you live in the area, it's the best in Reigate. We would certainly go back...

    We their the vegan and vegetarian option in this restaurant. Good value for money considering the recent economic situation.

    Excellent sweet and sour, black bean prawns and special fried rice. Last eat here 4 months ago and it has improved in quality and service.

  • 2/5 Yulin W. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s not Chinese food for Chinese. I’m sure my UK friends will love it. But not enough demand in Reigate for real Chinese dishes. The double cooked pork belly is not at all using correct ingredients and no red chillies seen. The full menu is just the same as your usual Chinese takeaway ingredients with different kind of pre-made sauces. The dish photos in the menu are just for marketing misleading me to believe they will have authentic Sichuan food. :(
