We've always enjoyed the food from Chinese Chef, and have been getting food from here for years. You couldn't beat the value for your buck, plus the food was generous and delicious. But lately the quality has gone down severely. Last night we got the combination Lo Mein and combination Fried Rice with an order of wings. The wings were fine, and, as always the food was piping hot, but the Lo Mein was just a pile of noodles with very little meat and nothing else in it. It used to have green onions and bamboo shoots in it, plus the sauce looked a little pale. My Fried Rice had a good amount of chicken, but not much for shrimp or beef. If there was any type of onion or vegetable in it, I couldn't find it or taste it. In fact, there was zero taste in the entire dish. The scrambled egg pieces in it were chunks of tasteless egg white (not even yolk included for color or flavor) that resembled the chicken. Overall we were very disappointed. If you want to jack up the prices, I understand, but then don't tank on the quality! We paid over $40 for a pile of boring pasta and a pile of tasteless rice. We might be going out of town for Chinese from now on.

General Tao's Chicken was.chicken nuggets in a bad tasting brown sauce. The rice had no flavor or color to it, taste like white rice. Almost $20 for food that I could not eat and threw in the garbage. Never again.

Food has always been great. The system of allowing people to order while in line at the drive up with the same folks who called ahead is annoying. You’ll show up and have to wait while your food gets cold because they’re making an order for the guy who pulled in just before you and ordered at the window. Drive up orders should sent to loop back to the back of the line after ordering to allow time for their food to be prepared and keep the rest of the line moving.

What do you expect? It's quick drive thru Chinese. Portion size for the money is hard to beat. I'm not sad about this place.

Drove an hr to get there then an hour back just to be told that egg roles don't come with any sauce. Complete waste of time. Close the doors if you can't get your shit right

What in the heck happened to this place? Absolutely terrible Chinese food. My general chicken was deep fried chicken nuggets with a laddle of terrible sauce plopped on top. It was the most bland and boring meals I've had to pay for. I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Got some takeout for lunch. The cashew chicken seemed to be chicken nuggets in some sort of "cashew sauce". Not good. I ordered the kung pao as I believe this is a dish that every chinese restaurant should be able to do well. The sauce was not good and it was mostly celery, hardly any chicken. I would not recommend. I've eaten at many takeout chinese restaurants over the years and I don't have high expectations, this place failed to meet the minimum of what I'd expect.

How does Google say they have only 1 1star when I counted 7 in reviews absolutely worst food its always burnt tastes cheap and I been here twice in 6mths both times I got sick after eating this horrible food and they always have attitude if you say something and do not care about these reviews or making things better. Sad it's the only place near me. Good luck if you go! Drive through is the weirdest and worst ever design and think that's all they have.

The food here is excellent and the service top-notch. Andy, the owner, recently catered our father's funeral reception. He personally delivered the food, spent time with our family sharing his condolences, and the food was hot and good. Such personalized service is a rarely these days. Chinese Chef has earned our loyalty. It is our #1 go-to restaurant when we don't feel like cooking.
