2/5 Mark S. 1 year ago on Google
I
couldn't
decide
whether
to
give
them
2
or
3
stars,
but
settled
for
2.
There
are
good
points
and
bad
points
about
5
Boroughs
and
in
all
fairness
I
will
cover
the
good
points
first.
Good
The
staff
are
very
friendly
and
helpful
and,
despite
arriving
at
a
busy
time
service
was
pretty
prompt.
I
ordered
the
Aloha
burger
with
chips
and
enjoyed
both;
it
wasn't
the
best
burger
I've
had
recently,
but
it
was
pretty
good,
and
the
chips,
spot
on.
Average
My
wife
ordered
the
Brooklyn
Brisket,
now
I
can't
comment
on
the
burger
myself,
but
my
wife
tells
me
it
was
pretty
ordinary.
In
5
Boroughs
defense,
I
did
try
the
Brisket
and
thought
the
meat
was
pretty
well
cooked
and
tasted
fine,
but
that
was
all
I
had
so
I
can't
speak
for
the
burger
as
a
whole.
BAD
The
biggest
and
easily
most
disappointing
part
of
the
visit
was
the
Karaage
Chicken
as
pictured,
it
was
dry,
well
over
cooked,
it
tasted
burnt,
literally
that
was
all
I
could
taste,
didn't
present
well
and,
if
I'm
being
totally
fair,
didn't
even
have
much
chicken.
This
is
one
of
those
instances
I
just
have
to
ask
WHY?
Why,
if
that's
the
best
they
can
do,
would
they
even
offer
it?
Why
would
the
chef
serve
something
like
that
up?
Does
he/she
hate
his/her
job?
I'm
not
the
kind
of
person
to
complain
about
the
food
while
I'm
there,
so
after
trying
a
couple
of
pieces
each,
while
thinking
it
had
to
get
better,
we
left
the
rest
and
lost
our
money
on
that.
It
was
only
$16,
but
it
was
overpriced
to
start
with,
and
not
up
to
scratch.
If
you
want
Karaage
chicken,
or
any
other
similar
chicken
dish
for
that
matter,
I
can
highly
recommend
Seouful
Chicken,
who
are
just
next
door,
and
who
for
a
few
dollars
more
provides
a
far
more
substantial
and
tastier
offering.
If
you
want
to
try
the
Aloha
Burger
at
5
Boroughs,
that
I
can
recommend.
