China Chef

It seems like most people get to-go orders nowadays. They stopped pouring water for you and only has bottled water. The food came out pretty fast. The flavor is mediocre. The Mongolian beef is just an OK, or maybe below average. Fish fragrance pork is better, though very oily.

This place may not look like much and is the last thing from fancy, but don't sleep on it. It's probably one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in the area. Their menu is a mix of classic American Chinese, Cantonese, and Sichuan flavors. They have a seating area, but takeout is preferred as they don't have staff to wait on tables. They can get pretty busy over the weekend as I see people walk out with huge trays of food for takeout so call ahead if you don't want to wait. The wait time for your orders may be 35-40 minutes long as they're that short-staffed and it's pretty busy. The lady assists the cook, takes care of the cashier, answers the phone, and even cleans the table if someone prefers to sit. But your patience will be rewarded with good food. I like the sweet and sour pork chop and the shrimp in a sweet cream sauce (I usually call it Asian shrimp mayo). The mapo tofu is also good. The portions are generous, and the price is reasonable.

Based on two visits, one recently and one several years ago, I'm giving them a 4. I've been unable to nail the perfect dish here for me yet, but again I've only been here twice. They offer a large menu so there are many dishes I'd still like to try! Tonight I had their pan fried dumplings and they were very tasty but I wasn't a fan of the sauce that they came with. I also had their pan fried chicken with a lot of veggies, and it was ok. The sauce was blah, at least for me. I had to add a lot of chili oil to give it some flavor. Others may love it as it is, but I wasn't a huge fan. It might be because I ordered more of a Cantonese entree and I'm more of a Szechuan fan... The lady behind the counter was very nice and the place was clean. My food came out fairly quick as well and there's enough of the pan fried noodles for at least two meals. It's a no frills restaurant and most of their business is carryout.

Authentic food at a good price. Went here a lot prior to pandemic. This place has a rep with the local Chinese community for offering authentic Chinese food along with the standard Americanized fare. I am a sucker for their eggplant.

Upon entering there was a line at the counter to order. There were only a handful of tables and two or three people probably running the restaurant. We wanted to sit in and eat so we needed to order the food at the counter first. The menu has a lot of dishes options. My husband ordered for us since he has a better understanding of Chinese food. We sat down as the cashier said she was going to bring us the food at the table. Inside is nice and clean, not as nice as other restaurants but there were a lot of people picking up food and waiting in line to order. It smelled so good inside we couldn't wait to start eating. Our order probably took about 20 minutes to get to us. One thing to know if you decide to dine in, they only give you disposable utensils and plates. Our food arrived as if we were picking it which was stacked in food containers inside a plastic bag. We didn't care, we were mostly interested in how the food tasted. We ordered deep-fried calamari, Pan fried noodles with beef and spicy beef with bamboo. The portions did not disappoint when we started to open the containers full of food. Everything was pretty good and tasty. We did order "Asian" spicy for the beef and it did not disappoint, I think that the dish could have been spicier for next time. The calamari were cooked right and had the right flavor. The pan-fried noodles were so good, the beef was tender with thick pieces. We had a lot of leftovers for another meal afterwards.We will probably come back again but for takeout, I do recommend ordering ahead since they get busy. Overall, it is worth trying this little place.

Great value and customer service. Great beef with Broccoli and chicken fried rice. Yummy spring rolls.

No dine-in. Bummer. Will come back when then they accept dining in then. Not feeling like carry out tonight though. It's raining outside and finding a place to eat in is harder than I thought it would be.

Had friends from China visit and took them there! They told me it was real Chinese food, just like home! Never been to China but I guess a lot of Chinese restaurants in USA make food for Americans, not real Chinese food! Anyway, it's the real food!!

Food is amazing with generous portions for the price. I would recommend getting the spicy chicken with bone, anything with beef brisket (noodle soup, curry, hotpot), and their pork chop. I highly recommend this place.

Excellent service ! Carry out Chinese broccoli, Beef brisket ! Excellent , as good as when I was in Hong Kong. My go to for real Chinese F
