Food was good, people were nice.
Can't ask for more than that when you're traveling, and eating late.

Awesome Cashew Chicken!!! Visiting family in Nevada, MO from Texas and California (family gathering) and stopped into Chinese Chef for lunch. The food was buffet style (not what we wanted, but we stayed and tried it and we're so glad we did!). We ordered it again the next day for a large party and everyone in the house went back the next day - and this is a group of world-traveling foodies - they couldn't believe how fresh and delicious it was! When I'm back in Nevada, I'll be visiting Chinese Chef our first night back!

I really wanted to like this place, but I don’t even know where to begin. Let's start with the tea I ordered. I took one sip, and it left a stale, moldy aftertaste that reminded me of an unpleasant experience I had at another restaurant that wasn’t cleaning their tea dispensers properly. I didn’t complain because it was just tea, so I drank my wife’s drink instead and moved on, hoping the food would be better.
At first, things seemed promising, but then I bit into some chicken that made me feel sick. It had a fatty, processed taste that was hard to shake. I tried another piece, which was okay, but the next one was just as bad as the first. Some of the chicken was decent, but the noodles and rice were inedible—I’d rather eat microwaveable rice and noodles, to be honest.
To add to the disappointment, no one ever checked to see if we needed drink refills, and the restaurant had a lingering unpleasant smell. It felt like the place could use a deep clean and maybe some brighter lighting to see what you're actually eating.
When we went to pay, the line was long, and the interaction with the cashier was uncomfortable, as if she was upset that we didn’t finish our food. I almost forgot to mention the signs on the buffet warning not to waste food. Well, I wasted plenty, and trust me, I’m usually someone who clears my plate.
Sadly, it’s a one-star experience overall. I wouldn’t recommend this place, and I definitely won’t be coming back. I never thought I’d find Chinese food I didn’t like, especially as a fanatic, but I wish them the best in improving their restaurant.

Food was wonderful! The owner is great. Our waitress wasn't the best. She didn't keep my water full which is the main thing I expect when I eat out.
