Chou's Kitchen

Yelp reviewers didn't steer us wrong on this one.I've had this restaurant in my collections for a while now and when my better half suggested "Chinese food" for a late lunch / early dinner. I'll give you one guess what I immediately brought up to have her check out. Greeted at the door with smiling faces, sat us at a booth table (good thing because they didn't know we were to embark on a food frenzy for our order)! We did have a large order, but I really wanted to give a more broad review of some of their dishes) Service was fantasticClean and organized table with lots of condiments to choose from Our server was kind and took her time helping to explain some of the dishes we had questions onWe couldn't have been happier with everything / how the dining experience wentStarted off with the garlic cucumbers as an appetizer Wontons in chili sauceSoup dumplingsEgg drop soupBeef piesVegetable fried riceChicken and green beans We will definitely make this one of our "go to" places for authentic Chinese cuisine and can't wait to come back again and again in addition to telling all of our friends to give them a try.

We finally came here after we had saved this place for a long time. It was my birthday and I was feeling like some Beef Noodle Soup. We came here before 6pm and there were plenty of tables available. Parking was plentiful and was not a problem. We were seated in a booth and the restaurant looked clean. Their menu had a lot of choices and a lot of it sounded good to us.We ordered the Wonton In Hot Chili Oil, the Steamed Juicy Soup Dumplings, the Chicken Fried Rice, the Stir-Fried Eggplant and Minced Pork with Garlic Sauce, and the Beef Stew Noodle Soup. The food came out as they were done. The Wonton In Hot Chili Oil was not bad to me and the Steamed Juicy Pork Soup Dumplings were good. This was one of the few restaurants that I've been to in the valley where they actually had ginger with the vinegar to dip the xiao long bao. The Chicken Fried Rice was delicious and definitely had that flaming wok taste to it which Iiked. The Stir-Fried Eggplant and Minced Pork with Garlic Sauce was tasty to me. Finally, the Beef Stew Noodle Soup was spicy but everything else was delicious and I definitely got my fix. The service was nice and they were all friendly. I will be back in the future to try more food on the menu!

Another great meal at this hidden gem in Chandler!Meal consisted of Orange Chicken (the best!), Veggie Fried Rice, and the Mushrooms and Bok Choy...friend had the stir fried shrimp and noodles.Always fresh made food served with great customer service! We LOVE our Chou's!!!My previous reviews give the specifics of each of the dishes!

Best Chinese food in the east valley!!!!Their potstickers and dumplings are amazing!!!!Their Mongolian beef is delicious!Their C03 is one of our favorites.I love the down home feeling inside. It is just relaxing.The service is outstanding. When it's your first time the servers seem stand offish but they are not.I highly recommend this place.....JUST GO!!!!

Service was nice and food was very good.It's small inside, but cozy. They have soup dumplings y'all! So it's very reasonably priced, I'd be here frequently if I lived in the area. They have soup spoons and chopsticks at the table, along with chili oil, vinegar and soy sauce. I'm not a huge fan of chopsticks and soup spoons on the side for just "anyone" to touch, but it's not like it's dirty inside or anything. We got the hot and sour soup, and it's so good! There's no shrimp or chicken in it, which I prefer, but the flavors are on point. It is so good and next time I'm here I'm going to get it again. Idc if it's 110 degrees out, it's that good. The mini and I had the pork potstickers and steamed juicy pork dumplings (aka soup dumplings). Omg. You get 10 soup dumplings but my chunky self could have eaten them all myself, but we ordered a few things so sharing was possible. The soup inside was rich and flavorful, the wrapper was not overly thick and it comes with a soy-ginger sauce that compliments it nicely. I'm definitely going to have to get this again too. The pork potstickers were nicely browned on the bottom, and it gave it a nice crisp bite. The wrapper wasn't too thick or too thin, it was just right. Baby bear approved (by my baby bear anyway). Food is definitely delicious, make sure you eat here so you don't miss out.

We have tried many Chinese restaurants in the East Valley. Somehow, we missed this place, and that is a shame. Can't wait to return!Started with the wonton soup, excellent and packed with the best dumplings ever. Had the vegetable egg rolls, average. Scallion pancakes, enjoyed. Juicy pork soup dumplings were outrageously delicious!Salt and pepper shrimp were perfect.Wife really liked her stir fried chicken.Brother's special pork ribs were okay, but not our favorite.This is a Mom and Pop operation, and they are friendly, terrific people. Our meals were fresh, clean and tasty. Can't wait to return and try some other dishes. If we lived closer, we would be regulars. I'm willing to drive for food this good!

Best Chinese food in the valley! Noodles made from scratch, solid dumplings. Linda the server is great too!

We always enjoy our meals at Chou's Kitchen. The service is always prompt and friendly. For our most recent dinner, we started with chive, pork, and shrimp dumplings which were perfectly steamed and wonderful. Next, we had salt and pepper calamari which is something we order every time we go; it's our favorite item on the menu. The beef with broccoli is always good - the beef is tender, and the broccoli is cooked well but still maintains some firmness. We also tried the shredded pork with garlic sauce, and we will definitely order that again - the sauce was tangy and spicy. We can't wait to go back and try even more items from this fantastic restaurant.

I wanted to give this restaurant more stars considering how popular it was but the wait was a bit ridiculous for my take out order and two dishes were really disappointing!Ordered pick-up at 11:20am and it ended up not being ready until 12:35pm. That's over an hour! I arrived at 12:08 and they said 15 more minutes. I was really hungry and frustrated. The restaurant isn't big and they seem a bit understaffed and disorganized esp during a busy Saturday lunch. There is a mix of Chinese families and others here so it seems to be enjoyed by all.As for the food, we ordered: soup dumplings, pork cabbage dumplings, green onion pancake, soy bean paste noodles, beef noodle soup, yang zhou fried rice, and yuxuang eggplant. Everything was great - not too salty or oily EXCEPT the noodles. Unfortunately they were so mushy - likely it was over boiled and perhaps because of how hectic it was maybe they left it in the water for too long. Sad because we love noodles.Lots of potential and would return to eat inside on a less busy day - we would try more things outside of the noodle category.

A coworker recommended this place. Drove from tNorth Phoenix just to try this place out.Food and services were great! The soup dumplings are my favorite
