5 Boroughs Everton Park

"Food was delicious, service was great! Did take a while for the food to come out but the wait was worth it! Had the Brooklyn Bronx burger!"

"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."

"We had a very late lunch here last week. I was very decadent and had a Death by chocolate cocktail, while hubby chose a Strawberry Fields shake. My drink was so very delicious! Full of chocolate flavours – 3 different liqueurs plus chocolate sauce! His very pink shake was in a tall glass with a rim covered in sprinkles, which contained a vibrant, fruity syrup with whipped cream. I ate lightly battered snapper fish tacos, which were so tasty. The fish had a crispy coating, and a moist filling - delish. The avocado salsa was very generous, and the tortilla was soft without tasting floury. I loved it! Hubby had a Reuben on rye, with pastrami, cheese and sauerkraut. This was well-toasted, had plenty of filling and came with a Reuben dressing in a little bowl. We were both very happy. Staff were very pleasant, food came quickly (and we were happy to see that they checked our vaxx status). We will definitely go again."
