Chef Chan’s the Original

When wife wanted top notch Chinese Food one of my best friends that happens to be half Chinese told me her daughter we oes to Sam Houston University drives to Chef Chans just to get good Chinese food. We have gone twice and we have to agree we are looking forwarding to trying all the menu. It is a 30 minute drive otherwise we would order out too. We thought we had to drive to Bellaire to get real Chinese food nope.

Ordered here for the first time via Door dash 12/31/25 for NYE dinner. Our order was a shared order of fried vegetable spring roll, 1 - regular Crispy Orange Beef with fried rice & Hot & Sour soup and 1 - extra spicy Mongolian Beef with fried rice & egg drop soup.

Everything was hot & looked good however the Crispy Orange Beef wasn't at all crispy and the beef was very chewy and stringy.

Overall though, it wasn't bad. The extra spicy Mongolian Beef wasn't very spicy but it was VERY salty and the meat was very fatty with both conditions making it inedible.

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.

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
