Where do I begin...The food was barely ok the service was terrible. The waitress was awful not only did she rushed us when ordering then waited a long time to get our beverages and food. Don't ask what she did with lemon wedges in our waters?

I have been coming to this location since it was Cheng-Du 46. Cheng Du closed down and then Chef Yang bought it with a partner. When it was closed, my restaurant of preference was one in Upper Montclair. Since opening, I switched back to Chef Yang. The food is FAR superior to the Upper Montclair place I was going to and the service is fantastic. Prices are similar. I do not think you will be dissapointed by trying this restaurant out.

Looking for a different kind of Chinese food? Chef Yang is mostly Szechuan-style. Meaning there's a lot of spice. It's not so spicy that it's tough to eat. But you have to enjoy at least a little heat.Our entrees for the night were the twice-cooked pork and hot pot delight.The pork dish was covered in a very tasty sauce and had spears of jicama (which isn't often associated with Chinese food). If you've never had it, it's reminiscent of water chestnuts.The hot pot delight is a spicy mix of shrimp, chicken, beef, and vegetables. There was a good amount of cauliflower which I am very ok with, especially in the spicy sauce.I know, hot pots are typically thought of as Korean, but this was worth the gamble. They also have something called Stone Pot, which are more like soups. The Hot Pot is a drier meal.The only miss in my book was our appetizer, we had the pork dumplings in chili oil. The dumpling dough was very thick. Even thicker than a ravioli. They were tasty, but chewy. Maybe it's the type of dumpling in that region, and it just takes getting used to. It's just not like dumplings I've come to expect.Overall, I would certainly make plans to come back and try some of Chef Yang's other dishes.

Like others have said: the food is delicious. Each dish has a special quality that other restaurants don’t always add. But also like others have said: it’s a bit pricey. It’s not your everyday Chinese restaurant. Make sure you budget a bit more than usual if you’re planning to go here. If you have the money, it’s worth it.
Find a peice of metal in the pork belly. So salty it was inedible. Hot and sour soup had no sour. Not going to ever return.

Chef Yang is the BEST Chinese joint in the area! Their prices are decent, but their food speaks for itself! Very friendly service with a smile, which is something you don’t find very often in most Chinese places, but wow. I’ve been ordering from them for a while and I must say, BEST IN TOWN!
