Top Five Stars — Restaurant in Sugarloaf Township

Five Star has been demoted to One Star.

My family hasn’t been to Five Star in quite some time and decided to go on December 23rd. We arrived at 7PM. We were sat down within 5 minutes and given some tea and menus. After that, it took 30 minutes before anyone took our order. It took another 50 minutes (1 hour and 20 minutes total) before I received my General Tso’s Chicken.

It was also pretty clear they were short on staff. I saw a customer who couldn’t get a booth because they were unable to bus any of the tables. Overall, I think the food quality is still there and the service was still friendly, but it doesn’t warrant an hour-plus wait time for food.

I think the biggest issue, though, was the amount of take-out/grub hub/door dash customers I saw. It seems we’re at a point in time where Five Star (if not more restaurants) is having a hard time serving both the delivery market and in-house patrons. It was as if all the restaurant guests took the back burner to the take-out/delivery orders.

Long story short: If you don’t to feel vastly under prioritized, I’d say skip Five...

I wasn't expecting much from a small local place, but this so exceeded my expectations. We ordered sushi, and based on experiences at other local places, my husband and I ordered a regular roll and a special roll each. I can truly say I would have been satisfied with one. The rolls were huge!!! And, it wasn't just rice and filler - the actual fish pieces were adjusted to fit the larger rolls. Everything tasted fresh and we were able to see the chef preparing our rolls, so I can say we watched him slice the mango fresh for the top of my husband's mango passion roll. I apologize to anyone reading this that prefers pictures, I was hungry and dove in before thinking of taking one. Maybe on my next visit! Anyway, if you're in West Hazleton, I'd recommend giving...

Ever since new owner took over the quality of the cooked dishes are amazing. The Shashimi Yellowtail Tuna, outstanding. Their fish and rolls, they beat Hanna Shushi hands down. The atmosphere is great, we sit in the same spot every time, and our waiter Freddie, is the BEST! The man is absolutely amazing, and will do everything to give you absolute best services. Very polite person also. ASK FOR FREDDIE, and please tip him accordingly! The best waiter we have had over the past 3 years dining out. The house cooks, they always come through and I've never been disappointed. If you haven't had it in a while, you owe it to yourself to visit Freddie and the crew of Top Five Stars. Thank you all for your outstanding services. Sincerely. ...
