Oriental Chef

Go to spot for dim sum in town! The food here is good, service is attentive and great, and there's typically not a long wait. A few favorites that I like to add on is Peking spare ribs and salt and pepper chicken wings. Solid dim sum spot that I recommend to others.

Oriental Chef gets a three-star rating for its crowded atmosphere and mixed experience. If you're not ready to face a long wait in line, this may not be the best option, as it tends to get quite busy.Although the plates can be on the lower side in terms of quantity, I always find myself surprised when the bill adds up at the end. The service can feel rushed, with staff hustling to turn tables, which can detract from the overall experience. However, if you're craving dim sum and can tolerate the wait, the quality of the food is definitely commendable.The flavors are authentic, and the dishes are well-prepared, making it a solid choice for dim sum lovers. Just be prepared for a bustling environment and a bit of a wait!

Not bad dim sum. I came during lunch time on Friday and there was no wait. No carts but they have a menu you can mark to order. The har gow, shu mai, chicken feet, deep fried taro puff, and shrimp rice rolls were good. I'd order these again. Not a huge fan of the pan fried chive dumpling - the dough was too thick. I also ordered the salted egg yolk custard bun and was not impressed. The filling was scarce and the dough was a bit dense. I haven't tried any other dim sum places in Stockton so I can't compare, but this restaurant has pretty decent dim sum staples!

Love their sui mai!!! Prefer it here over china palace. All of their dim sums are high quality. Service is fast, and restroom is always clean.

Very good service! The food is amazing and it's a classic traditional dim sum. My favorite is the Pork Bao and Pepper wings

This place is really good! Very clean and not as busy (at the time we went - 6:45pm). Super nice and quick service. Food portions are big so I definitely recommend coming in with a bigger group and eating family style. We had both dim sum and dinner! We ordered:- Steamed Barbecues Pork Bun- Meat Stuffed Bamboo Shoot Roll- Su Mi (Shrimp Pork Dumpling)- Steamed Chicken Feet- Deep Fried Shrimp Balls- Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs- Beef Chow Mein- House Special Fried Rice- Deep Fried Sole- Hong Kong Style Milk TeaOverall, VERY yummy dinner. I wanted to go into a food coma, i was so sleepy afterwards. Highly recommend the spare ribs and the deep fried sole! I personally think the milk tea was alright for my taste. I originally wanted the Hong Kong Style Coffee and Milk Tea drink however they were out of the coffee. I definitely want to try it next time we come back as I am a huge coffee lover.

It was dim sum Sunday, the food was fresh and delicious, reminded me of San Fransisco holes in the wall where they serve up the best dim sum dishes. James and I ordered shumi, shrimp eggplant, chicken feet, tripe and soy sauce noodles from the dim sum cart. From the main menu I ordered the fried soul fish and side of steamed rice, the fish was nice and crispy, seasoned to perfection, my favourite parts were the outer fins, it was like eating fish chips, sooo good! I'm so glad we decided to stop by and give this place a try.

Went here at the last minute for dim sum. Although they were out of some items because I came last minute, everything else was made super fresh and came out nice and hot. I really enjoyed the dim sum that I tried.

My mum always wants to dine here when I come home to visit. In my opinion this place serves the best beef chow fun in town. The wok hei is really good. I don't know what gas range they're using, but the BTU must be crazy high. The dim sum and some dishes like the lobster are good, too. The ladies here are nice and super sweet.

The BEST dim sum ever! I come back weekly and nothing beats the taste. 10 outta 10! Big portions, best taste, friendly service and good price
