Chef Joe

The food is great and not too expensive. This is definitely one of my favorite places in SA as the food is consistently very good and authentic. The restaurant itself is small and not fancy but it's clean and the staff is very nice.

Food was unseasoned and bland. The soup barely had any flavor. Wouldn't waste my money here

It was quiet except for two children. The women seemed to not notice me even though it was quiet and empty. Free soda refills and they were quick with that until the bill came. I had to get their attention to pay and get to go boxes. The food was decent enough to take home the service does not encourage my return.

We came for a late lunch, we were the only customers there when we arrived. Decor and furnishings were not that nice, and there was one booth filled with supplies. I apologized to the other members of the party because of my choice in restaurants, but I didn't expect it to be so good. We ordered a pad Thai, 2 sesame chicken, and an order of crab cheese wontons. Our soup was brought out very quickly and was very good - one wonton soup, one hot and sour. Hot and sour had a good mix of onions, mushrooms, tofu. Good flavor! No crab cheese wontons. The pad Thai was brought out soon after for another member in my party and she said it was very good. The portion looked large. The sesame chicken were both ordered as specials so included was the soup and either an egg roll or crab cheese wonton. Both other members of my party said they were some of the best wontons they had ever had. Service was good, but think our server (and likely owner) was running the whole show when we arrived. We never did receive the wontons, so ordered it to go. Server obliged, and brought out in a bag before we left. I went to pay, did not look at the bill (I know, that's on me). We went home and realized that instead of the wontons we received an order of mushroom beef. I think it was a language barrier - on my receipt was no order of wontons, but the mushroom beef. Overall very good food - might want to point out on the menu what exactly you want though. Would definitely go back, food was good for a non-descript place in a strip mall

Update: Gave them another try. Ordered for pickup from their online website. Super easy. I paid in person. Got a text when food would be ready for pickup. Essy breezy! I ordered their house special chili oil wontons and general tso's chicken with white rice, crab ragoon, and egg drop soup. Food was plentiful for price and flavorful.House special chili oil wontons: I expected steamed or boiled wontons in chili oil, but the wontons were fried and then tossed in chili oil. While the wontons were nonlonger crunchy (my fault for picking up late), it was flavorful. Had a slight heat to it that wasn't over powering and the wontons were a pork filling. For an appetizer, it filled me up for lunch. It came with 8 fried wontons, but I expected them to be smaller. They were regular size. I was full from just the appetizer. Definitely will order this item again! General tso's: this was by far the best I've ever had and I love general tso's. What I look for is the heat and the crunch. It had both and it was plentiful for a lunch special. Definitely worth the price. It had more kick to it then the chili oil wontons, but not a lot to where it burns your mouth. Just enough heat to warm up the back of your mouth. I LOVED it! Definitely recommend and would get this item again!

Double ..no...Triple check your condiment requests with your order because they will still only give you only 1 of each even after specifying the number of hot mustards you want after dropping a15% tip on a to go order! Second time they've pulled this crap so I'll be spending my money elsewhere from now on.

I ordered the Spicy Garlic Edamame, Hot and Sour Soup and Wonton Soup. I received the Spicy Garlic Edamame, Hot and Sour Soup and Egg Drop Soup. I did order using the UberEats app, so it could be their mix up. My rating has nothing to do with getting the wrong soup. Even though, I was excited because I'm sick and I read a few reviews saying that the Wonton Soup was the best they've ever had. It was the entire reason for ordering from Chef Joe. The mediocre review I'm giving them is solely based on the flavor alone, which all items were lacking. I made sure to order a large Wonton Soup because I planned on heating it up later. Anyone that's ordered Egg Drop Soup before knows that it won't be the same when you heat up the leftovers. Much like Hot & Sour Soup, which is why I ordered that in a small. I had to throw away about half of the Egg Drop Soup. I didn't shed a tear over it though, because both soups didn't have much flavor. However, I did shed a tear for the money I spent, but life goes on.The Spicy Garlic Edamame had very little spice and zero garlic. I'm assuming they just tossed it in chili oil. I did enjoy it because it was cooked well, but I should've just gotten the Steamed Edamame for $2 cheaper. I'm not giving up on this place because I want to try a few of their entrée items. Mainly, I want to try the dang Wonton Soup. If any of those items blow me away, then I'll adjust my review.

Service was fast and fresh. Food was delicious. Will definitely be going back. Daughter liked it too.

One of our favorite restaurants in the area!Food is always great. The only thing I hate recently is that you can't really order on the website anymore so we just starting calling it in

I go to the massage school across the street, so I come here pretty frequently. I love the Mongolian beef here it's my fave. Service is amazing Mrs. Jia is so kind (the lady at the front). The ambience is very calm and quite lovely place to grab a quick flavorful bite.
