Not bad. Dumplings were pretty doughy, probably better fried than steamed. General Tso's was solid. Sichuan string beans could have been stir fried a little harder but they were still nice and tender, not mushy. Prices seemed a bit high but the portions and ratio of meat/vegetables was just right. Lots leftover for the next day. Order was ready quickly, even on a busy night.

My wife wanted Chinese Food. Dropped in around 5 pm. Ordered waited about 20 minutes. Good portions.Parking: It's located in a shopping center. Traffic seemed to come and go when I was there. But it is next door to a bank, maybe busy during banking hours.

First time coming here today as I was in the area. I got the pepper steak lunch combo with wonton soup and a orange soda the total was about $15. This place is a little more expensive than your other Chinese food spots but it is well worth the price. The rice is not burnt or taste like it was cooked in burnt wok, it's very soft and sweet. The sauce for the pepper steak is delicious and all the vegetables are tender and crunchy. The pepper steak itself is cooked well as well I was not disappointed at all with this meal. The portions are nice and full.If I had to make a critique the wonton soup had a bit more of a smokey flavor than I've traditionally had but this place makes me think the other places make it wrong and not china chef.Fantastic stop for a quick lunch you won't be disappointed order up ?Parking: Parking spots are tight a little uncomfortable to get in and out of the car but otherwise always parking availableKid-friendliness: Just a Chinese spot nothing offensive inside or nearby.
I called ahead because I know Fridays can be busy. Food was ready when I got there. Food was delicious as usual.

**BRING A SECOND BANK ACCOUNT**GOOD: Tasty for takeout Chinese; friendly employeesBAD - The PRICES and hospitality for those seeking to sit.I typically don't push back on glowing reviews. Mine tend to be within 1/2 of the average - not here.I was looking for a convienient dinner while shopping in the Rolling Road shops and China Chef seemed to fit the bill - Chinese, tables, good reviews.I wanted to try a few things and expected prices to align with my local places. I ordered crab ragoon (standard app in most places), fried dumplings and an order of pork ho-fun ( mostly thick noodles with some pork) - 36.00. No thanks, I cancelled the two items and was left with the Ho-fun. Two others also reduced their orders - nearly all orders after and before me were in the mid 20s. One was 62.00.The Ho-fun was very good, but it's still Chinese take-out. The pandemic and inflation are not acceptable anymore to gauge customers. Chinese take-out competition is fierce and CC's prices aren't competitive. I also had to eat out of the take out bag - even plastic trays would have been a better touch.To sum up, their food is good but extremely expensive. I recommend straight take out if you go. For my hard earned dollars I am sticking with my local Chinese. The food is good but not worth that second bank account.

Best Chinese takeout in Catonsville, everything is perfectly seasoned. After one try we knew we’d found our spot.
