“Great Service, Beyond Delicious Food. Great, quiet atmosphere. We will absolutely be returning!“

“We had the fried rice and sesame chicken at a friend's house and loved it so much we went back a couple days later for dinner. The chicken is so tender and delicious!! I tried the sweet and sour and hubby had the orange chicken. They have an option to substitute lo mein for the rice so we decided to do that. Everything was delicious. Definitely going back to try more“

“💯 best Thai place I’ve been to in SA. I am upset that I moved to the other side of town because now I have to keep driving 30+ minutes to get good food. Worth it tho!“

“Fabulous food and they treat you like family“

“We recently tried Chef Joe Asian Cuisine and had a mixed experience overall. We ordered shrimp fried rice, beef lo mein, chicken wings, and crispy fried chili chicken. Out of everything, the beef lo mein was definitely the best—flavorful, well-cooked, and the kids really enjoyed it. However, the rest of the dishes were just average compared to what we’ve had at other authentic Chinese restaurants.

The shrimp fried rice didn’t have much flavor, and the chicken wings were a bit plain, lacking the seasoning and crispiness you would expect. The crispy fried chili chicken was decent but not particularly memorable. While none of the food was terrible, most of it didn’t stand out or make us want to rush back for those specific dishes.

On the positive side, the restaurant itself has a pleasant environment. It’s quiet, clean, and family-friendly. The waitress who served us was very nice, attentive, and friendly, which made the dining experience more enjoyable. Pricing is also reasonable, making it a decent option if you’re looking for a casual, affordable meal.

Overall, I’d say Chef Joe’s is good for a quick bite and great service, but the food could use more authentic flavors to really shine.“

“I love the variety on the menu, traditional americanized Chinese dishes. The food is always piping hot. My favorite dish is the teriyaki chicken. You can spend anywhere from $30 to $60 bucks here and it's always worth it you'll have something left over I mess with feeding a good size group which is adequate. Very quick & polite.“
