About Chef Chu's

Chef Chu's offers exceptional Chinese cuisine in a vibrant atmosphere, popular among notable figures. The restaurant has been a staple since 1970, redefining Chinese food in America. Dishes like Peking duck are standouts, praised for being not overly fatty and having no odor. The four seasons cold plate is also noted for its unique style and flavor. While some dishes, such as braised eggplant in garlic sauce and mu shu, are nice, they may not always stand out or justify the price. The service is described as oddly friendly and unfriendly, but considerate, providing extra serving utensils and plates for sharing. Customers appreciate the quick service and the attention to tea refills. Chef Chu's is a family-owned restaurant that has been serving the area for decades, making it a staple in Los Altos. The lunch specials are favorites, and calling ahead for takeout is recommended, especially on busy Fridays. The owner often greets customers, adding to the welcoming experience. Overall, Chef Chu's is considered a great place to enjoy good food, particularly for sharing dishes with a large party.

I truly appreciate the authenticity of Chinese cuisine, and the exceptional culinary skills showcased. The special tea duck, in particular, captivates my taste buds with its exquisite flavor. Each bite is a delightful experience, making it a standout dish for me.

Chef Chu’s is one of our favorite Cantonese style restaurants in the South Bay. The food is always delicious, and the service is great! Their fried wontons are light and crispy and not greasy. I love the prawn sauté or prawns with broccoli. My husband loves the crispy Sichuan beef. Their chow mein is also lovely! There are also plenty of vegetarian options. Whenever we have guests in town, we take them to Chef Chu’s, The restaurant is a beautiful space with clean restrooms...read full review
