I ordered on Uber eats and won’t order again I ordered pork fried rice hot and sour soup and broccoli beef. The pork fried rice smelt like feet so strong it hit me in the face when I opened the box. It tasted sour like vinegar and I couldn’t swallow it . The meat in the rice tasted off and so did the meat in the broccoli beef. The broccoli beef was drowning in liquid the soup wasn’t anything special it was pretty much just broth with no spicy taste but a very overwhelming sour taste similar to the rice.

Ordered delivery so can't speak to the service or atmosphere. The food ... unquestionably the worst American Chinese food I've ever eaten. I've been around for my fair share of solar transits so I've eaten a lot of Chinese cuisine. I even lived in China for a couple years. I knew going in that this was going to be American Chinese food which, if I am honest, is not as good as actual Chinese food. But even for American Chinese food, this offering was horrible in the extreme. Bland. Overcooked. We literally couldn't finish eating it. I imagine this place stays open thanks to drunk university students ...

My fiance & I thought we'd try a different Chinese restaurant in our area & decided on China chef. We payed for $50 worth of food that was burnt & overcooked. The orange chicken was tough, the sizzling rice was burnt, chicken was rock hard, giant pieces of broccoli that had no point in being in a soup.

Like 5 years ago the beef chow mein was absolutely delicious. Something is wrong now. What used to be cheap is now expensive. The food was so watery and had a real awkward taste. It made me sick. Probably won't try it again.

Food quality was very underwhelming. Ordered teriyaki chicken, house chow mein and pork buns. The description of the pork buns stated the order comes with 3, but I only received 1. The teriyaki chicken was overcooked and chewy. The chow mein was not great. There were no vegetables in the chow mein and the pork and chicken was overcooked. I ordered through DoorDash. I will not be ordering from this restaurant again.

I’ve both delivered for Doordash from here as well as ordered for myself. Recently, I’d ordered, remained in contact with them telling me my driver was nearby.!waited outside for about 10 minutes, came back in to a phone call saying the driver broke down, couldn’t fill my order. Offered free meal next time, so I’ve called for that meal since then… a few times. I’ve been cooperative as to call back the next day because it best suits them. And the next day. And the next…! So, here we are and I’m not sorry but while I’ve enjoyed this place for close to 20 years, it’s time to say goodbye, service is trash and to want to blame me for what should have been a free meal from your own mouth/ let me know when you’re ready to understand the rest!

Stopped by this place on my way through town. It has a good hole-in-the-wall feel that you find at local-run Chinese food places like this. The owner is the one who served us and I’m pretty sure she cooked most of the food herself too. We were the only party there when we started our meal since it was between lunch and dinner. Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free, which is so hard to find. Even the soy sauce had gluten free options! I’ll definitely be here again if I find my way through town again.

Dietary restrictions: Great celiac-friendly options!

Had it delivered. Luke warm, hot and sour was not hot and kinda gelatinous, homemade pot stickers were burnt and didn't get 9 as ordered. I'm not very pleased. They came back and left the rest of my potstickers at my door.I'm going to try other places. Save your money.

Dietary restrictions: Very salty, they use gmo products...

The fun is barely cooked no wokhay. The veggies were also barely cooked and it was a tiny little cardboard box. It wasn't bad food, it just wasn't very good.

First, we were given warm tap water to drink, no ice. Then, I ordered fried rice, sweet and sour tofu, and tofu and eggplant in garlic sauce.The fried rice was flavorless and barely warm. The sweet and sour tofu was almost cold, with the sause cold and gelatinous and not sweet like sweet and sour sauce should be. The eggplant was missing the tofu, which wasn't a big deal but the sauce was extremely salty and didn't have any garlic flavor or garlic in it, that could be detected.It seemed as though everything was reheated in the microwave but not long enough to actually warm it up.I will not be back to this restaurant.I do not recommend this restaurant!Dont waste your money!! Find a different place.

Vegetarian options: The sweet and sour tofu was almost flavorless because the sweet and sour sauce was flavorless. It was a very disappointing experience.
