Chef Chan’s the Original

Just ate at Chef Chan’s with our family. We just went on wim, been looking for Chinese food since moving to the woodlands. It was so so good, fresh , flavorful, not salty, authentic Chinese. The service was quick and friendly. Very attentive and even put the game on for us. It’s not big, but just big enough. We are big foodies and it did not disappoint. Will be our new Chinese food spot for now on.

If you're looking for the most bland food in Texas, lock in this place. Really, really absent from flavor. WAAAY overpriced!

What happened? It’s been a while since we ordered and everything has changed. The orange chicken is NOT the same orange chicken as the original that we have been ordering since 1998, it’s sweeter, chunks of orange, few chilies, and chicken is not as crispy, no more curry wonton in the “complete your dinner” add-on, egg rolls are now like every other Chinese restaurant and not as good (or as crispy as the original), beef and broccoli was underwhelming and also changed and the fortune cookies were all stale. For what you now charge and calling yourself The Original when you clearly are not is shameful. Go back to the original recipes. I gave two stars because the service is great and the food was piping hot all the way home.

Been going here my entire adult life and nothing compares. Food is the best and they know you by name. Chicken with mixed vegetables has been my dish forever and it’s absolutely amazing. You won’t regret a visit to this place

Unfortunately the food has totally changed. As a customer for the last 20 years, it’s been a few months since we were here. Ordered and picked up tonight—the normal items we get (Sesame Chicken, Hunan Beef) were completely different recipes and prepared a different way. It seems like they changed owners and the recipes too. It was also very expensive for what we got. Such a bummer. Not sure we’ll be back.

I ordered beef broccoli and wonton soup for pick up, it was absolutely delicious. the beef was on point, the broccoli was on point. Everything was delicious and I would recommend it.

Great service! As usual, I called about food with sesame oil/seeds. Their recipes do include it but he assured me that if I requested no sesame oil/seeds they would use clean utensils and pans to make my food. So, we dined there. I did my usual disinfecting of seats, table, and condiments. My dinner companions were so kind to ask for no sesame oil/seeds, also!! As promised, we enjoyed our meals sans sesame seeds. The food was outstanding. Hearty servings. They included an extra serving of rice in my leftover box, too!! The place was very clean and roomy between tables. It's nicely and tastefully decorated. Wide entrance, but not automatic

The Original Chef Chan's is the best Chinese food restaurant around! We have been going there for many years. The food is always exceptional. Joshua, the owner, is a gracious host. He remembers his customers and what they like to order. Always our go to for Chinese food! Thank you, Joshua!

Good food, great service and decent prices. I was in for lunch so the specials were probably cheaper, but it was a good amount of food for the price also!

Best best best Chinese!!! This is NOT the same as the one on Grogans mill anymore, that one has a new owner and the food is not nearly as good. But this one on Sterling Ridge has the OG crew and the food is as amazing as ever! Chef Chan’s the Original for life!

Okay, I've been in the woodlands since 82, when Chef Chen came to the Woodlands it was in Grogans Mill shopping center, hands down the best sesame chicken ever, General Taos chicken extra spicy, yes plz. Then, after years of eating there, something changed. It was the recipe of the food, no longer crispy and flavorful, but generic and bland. Then they moved and another individual came in and the food was back and delicious, then sadly the landlord raised the lease and they had to close, just when the food was back to the way it used to be. The original Chef Chen moved, and we went there for dinner expecting the same flavorful entrees but found disappointment. So now no good Chinese restaurants left. 💯 disappointment. My best advice to the owner is to return the original recipes to the way they once were, and tons of patrons will return.
