Five Star Take Away
Quick info
About Five Star Take Away
On Chorley Rd, Five Star Take Away is a Chinese takeaway serving five menu items for walk-in collection. The salt and pepper chips are refried and coated in a red powder rather than the usual garlic and chilli style, alongside chicken curry and salt and pepper beef. Orders are taken at the counter, with a small waiting area where the kitchen door stays shut. The shop opens evenings only, Monday to Sunday except Tuesdays, when it is closed. Parking is available on site, though space is limited as nearby businesses also use it.

Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chips draw mixed reactions, one reviewer describing them as just "chips refried with some red powder," lacking garlic or chillies, while another calls the salt and pepper beef chewy with barely any sauce. Fried rice is repeatedly described as claggy or stuck together. Some reviewers still praise the chicken curry and salt and pepper ribs, though one mentions the premises needing a refurb.

“10 star for food. Its beautiful. But 1 star for delivery. They don't deliver. They probably don't need to. Food is fantastic.”
- Mark Flanagan
“The hot and sour soup is a good consistency but not spicy in the slightest hich is a shame, favour is mediocre and the taste is a little too vinegary. Considering this is my favorite go to it disappointed. 1/5 Egg fried rice taste good, but isn't very fluffy and a bit stodgy presumably it's been microwaved. 2/5. Spicy Singapore noodles are tasty and the best part of the meal. 4/5 Salt and pepper beef not overly crispy and an average flavor. 3/5 The premises itself look very dated and give the impression of dirt, not that I could see any from the small waiting area you can't see the kitchen and the door is constantly kept shut so no view of the kitchen to see your food being prepared. Massively in need of refurb/coat of paint, ripped and repaired bench seats and old stained walls and paint work. Overall I wouldn't spend my hard earned mo ey here again! FYI - There is parking but very limited and usually taken up by one of the other many businesses in the proximity.”

“Picked up a takeaway tonight as it's just round the corner from me. Nice people working there but the food is really poor. Fried rice all stuck together and claggy, crispy beef chewy with barely any sauce, weird salt and pepper chips. I always prefer to shop local however there are much better options that deliver from Chorley/Horwich. Avoid .”

“Had salt & pepper chips with chicken curry. The s&p chips were nothing like any I've had before. They were just chips refried with some red powder. No garlic or chillies just this bland red powder. …”
