Very attentive staff, but I was suuuuuper bummed that they don't do cream cheese wontons. Maybe one of their owners or someone on their staff is lactose intolerant or something. Probably good for customers who are dairy free I guess.
The food tasted so fresh and delicious. I left satisfied.

Don’t understand how this spot is highly rated. I’m a Mandarin / Cantonese international student and was not impressed by the food at all?Not sure why the food was cold considering there were only 3 other tables. At least they acknowledged & comp’d it.

Ive loved coming to chan phengs for years now. It's really the superior quality of their dishes that has kept me coming back again and again all of these years. Might seem a tad pricey to some, but as they state, they're not a fast food restaurant and excellent flavor takes time to create!Wheelchair accessibility: For sure wheelchair accessible throughout the restaurant and in the restroom.
Food was great! It was made fast and well.Staff was friendly and responsive. Restaurant was really dark though. Some better lighting would really make it friendly.

First Chinese restaurant in Chico. Sarah, our server, was smart and congenial. Place was almost empty at around 7 PM. The celebrations of 5 de Mayo, perhaps? Restaurant was clean overall, so we proceeded to get a Family Special for two, to the tune of $17.50 each. Consisted of the following: 2 egg rolls, 2 foil wrapped chicken, and those big fried thin bread? Won ton soup for two, Almond chicken. Mongolian beef, White rice for 2, and apart a Combination Fried Rice.Egg rolls were average at best, 3 Stars. Wrapped chicken no finesse in the execution, 2.5 Stars. Those fried whatever 1 Stars. Won ton soup chicken tasting broth, served lukewarm which really is bad practice, most know soup and hot temperature go together, but if the chef doesn’t know that, then who does in their kitchen? 3.5 Stars. Almond chicken easy to enjoy, 3.5 Stars. Mongolian beef, small serving but agreeable, 3.5 Stars. Order of Combination Fried Rice, $13.50, more rice and more beef than the other two, a very famous Chinese philosopher said that when expensive combination fried rice is mostly rice, no bargain but good flavor, 3 Stars.No tea offered, a fine tradition, that in this place was a no show. Service can’t complain, 4 Stars. Water tasted good, 4 Stars. Steamed rice just that.Total $54+. Plus gratuity. Decent folks running this place. 3.5 Stars.

Date night, so my wife and I tried something new in Chico. So glad we did, our we wouldn't know about this small gem. Hidden in a small corner on Mangrove Ave, we pulled in and entered to a small dining area with a large windowed view of the kitchen. Plus 1, as we could see our meal being prepared. Service is quick and thorough, and the staff are knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the Sizzling Rice soup for 2, Lemon Chicken, Szechuan Beef, Shrimp and Scallops with vegetables, and Special Chow Mein. Our 2 person table was soon too crowded to eat off of, as the dishes were larger than expected. These were packed with flavor, and overflowing with sauce. The vegetables were crisp, the seafood was perfect... not rubbery or bland, the beef was spicy but not so spicy you couldn't enjoy it. The chicken was falling apart, and the citrus flavor was spot-on. The chow mein was plentiful and packed with shrimp/pork/chicken/veggies... all cooked to perfection. We ate, and left with MORE than enough for lunch the next day. Prices are fair, and the atmosphere is cosy. This could... COULD, become our go-to for Chinese in Chico, giving Happy Garden a serious run for its money. AND, their take-out game is STRONG!! Don't be afraid of doing either.
