Best Chinese food around

AF 2.0

Disappointed in both the price and the quality of food. I ordered general tsos chicken, some pots stickers and an egg roll. The picture attached is what I got when I ordered general tsos, there’s a one size container (no small or large) and it costs $15 - yea $15 for just that container. No rice or anything with it. Then when I got it I was def disappointed in the taste. This is a different general tsos that just tastes like mild chicken wing pieces put in a container. Not the unique sweet and spicy general tso you would expect. Then the egg roll cost me $2 and that wasn’t even a nice egg roll - it was a small spring roll that you can get in the frozen section of a grocery store in a box. Then to top it off, the potstickers were sold individually- $2 a piece! So I wanted atleast 3 of them - well at least those were good - but $6 for 3 dumplings??? In the end everything cost me $24 and it honestly was a waste of money. The chicken I cant even eat, it’s not even big pieces but instead small little pieces/ends/trimmings put in a box with barely any flavor. - ridiculous. Never going back here again, not worth the money at all

Chef Kwan’s is a true Bay Area gem and landmark! I grew up with it as Su Hong To-go but it’s retained most if not all of its menu through the rebrand. Accuracy of orders can be spotty (I.e. missing Chinese chicken salad dressing, dressing tasting off, providing chicken version of a dish instead of beef). But, staff are kind and they’ve figured out how to run everything quite efficiently.Parking: Free street parking and municipal lot located next to Chef Kwan’s. Parking availability can be spotty depending on day/time and downtown traffic.

Decided to go here instead of panda express. The results wasted money and still going to panda express. They gave me soup and when I tried to ask what it was I got told what you order. Not happy the rice was

We’ve been coming here for 20 years and the food is still great as ever. You can never go wrong with the combo fried rice and garlic chicken! :) Parking isn’t hard to find and the staff are super friendly. Would highly recommend if you’re in Menlo Park.

I miss Su Hongs and this is pretty close. The menu is a little different but looks like they're using the same recipes.

extremely tasty, even therapeutic, hot and sour soup is the star of the menu

Try the peking chicken wings, chicken corn soup. Shrimp fried rice and stir fry mixed veggie.
