Good food. I wish they have Chinese carp fish in sauce. Really like Wong tong noodle soup and bento box. and fresh snoozy.

Was living in the city before… I was pretty spoiled by the abundance of Chinese places I could order from. Review is based purely on pick-up and delivery orders. At least I have 1 reliable place that seems to have pretty decent staples… more importantly, for smoothies that they will DELIVER to you. If you’re curious, the cup of smoothie is delivered in a small brown paper bag. Dunno what they do if you order more than one. If you do pick-up order, they’ll make it when you arrive(unless you request otherwise, I assume). As you watch them make it, you can also be really confused & surprised that the interior is actually really nice. Food I’ve tried so far: One of their egg foo youngs: It’s not bad. It’s ordered for family members, so… yeah. It’s not any different from any other places, really. Orange chicken: It’s actually slight hot/has«heat», opposed to straight up sweetness. It’s still too sweet for my tastes, though. Sesame chicken: Would 100% order again always. The sauce stays on the bottom of the container, so definitely spoon some on top when getting your food. Chicken & Mango Fried Rice: Thumbs down. :(I was thinking it’d be a typical brown soy-saucey fried rice with chicken & mango. Nope. It’s some sort of seasoned fried rice with chicken & mango. The rice & chicken are great, but the fresh ripe mango they use in it really has no place. Veggie Lo Mein: Your standard lo mein. Their veggie lo mein has a LOT of mushrooms in it, not too much onions. Crab rangoon: Wonderfully stuffed with the cream mixture and are delicious. Delivery is also pretty quick. I order via Grubhub usually — always gets here in 20 mins flat. Maybe a full 30 minutes if I ordered during a peak time, like dinner or something.

Attended a party at China Chef. First time and hopefully not our last. Great venue for a party or just to stop in for take out or dine in. Flavor was good, we enjoyed several dishes and had food to take home. They also have fruit smoothies and the staff is pleasant and attentive. Cute little spot for good Chinese food.

We have a tradition when we move to a new place — always order Chinese food the first night we move in. We moved from downtown Chicago where there are a million wonderful Chinese restaurants that delivered to us. We were a bit nervous because we don’t always have the best luck finding a new place right away. We’ve lived here 3 weeks and already ordered from here twice! We LOVE it! Everything we’ve gotten has been wonderful. The reason I deducted a star: there is no small regular wonton soup and no fully steamed pot stickers. Those are two Chinese staples in my eyes.

Ordered General Tso’s chicken, Sesame chicken, and chicken fried rice. They were all very good. The fried rice had a little too much soy sauce, but it may have just been enough not to add more soy sauce. It was tasty, no matter what. The delivery time was very reasonable at about 20 to 30 minutes, as was the price. I will be trying more dishes from this restaurant.

This place is good and was fast, would definitely come back. I ordered chicken fried rice and Mongolian chicken. You can’t go wrong with any Chinese restaurant that has chili oil. Next time I would like to see if they have Hong Kong style fried rice.

Consistently above average Chinese food. I love that I can get kiwi bubble tea delivered to my house and the sweet & sour chicken is by far the best in the area. My roommate loves the fried tofu and pork fried rice though there is milk in some of the sauces(she’s allergic) so if you’re vegan you might want to tread carefully. That’s not their fault though, lol, so not deducting any stars for that. Four stars because it’s not the best Chinese delivery I’ve ever had, but it’s definitely the best in the area and I will continue to order from them.

Excellent tasting Chinese food. Beyond the typical Chinese that a lot of times all tastes the same. Had the mango and chicken fried rice and Garlic chicken. Both excellent.

This was my go to Chinese place for the past 6 months. The always empty dining room kinda threw me off the first few times. The food is really good. But we made the mistake of eating there last night. I had 1 serving of my noodles and of course asked for the rest of it to be wrapped up(yay lunch tomorrow), they brought our food into the kitchen to wrap it up. Which I’m not a huge fan of, but ok. When they brought it back out, most of it had disappeared. When I asked the waitress what happened to the rest of it, she said that was all that was left. I told her no, there was a lot left it wouldn’t have fit in the tiny little box they gave me. She continued to argue and then walked away. Only time someone came back was to get our money. No we are sorry we dropped it or ran out of bigger boxes nothing. This really is a shame as the food is good and this place is less than 5 minutes away. Time to find another place.

My boyfriend and I just ordered for delivery for the first time! Wow!!! Everything we got was still steaming hot when it was delivered! We got the following dishes: BBQ pork fried rice: tasted great, my boyfriend needed a little more soy sauce but for me it was just right Mongolian beef: best Mongolian we’ve had from a Chinese place!!! The vegetables tasted fresh not frozen the beef tasted fresh! My favorite so far, it also did have a little spice factor to it which we enjoyed!!! General Taos chicken: also great! The sauce sits at the bottom so make sure to stir well! Had great flavor chicken tasted fresh! Chicken with black bean sauce: my favorite !!! Such fresh, crunchy vegetables!!! And the sauce and chicken were amazing!!! Overall, this Chinese restaurant has been one of the best we have tried! We’ve never received this many food for the price and not to mention the freshness! Will definitely order again and recommend!

While a certain other popular restaurant is taking its sweet time reopening in Naperville, we’ve been forced to look elsewhere for our bubble tea. I’m pleased to say, we’ve finally found the next best in the area! I recommend the mango tapioca. Oh yea, their food is alright, too. Just kidding! We had Mongolian chicken, which we ordered extra spicy, and it was perfect. Crab Rangoon was pretty bland, so I’d skip that next time. Same with the barbecue pork. I think I was expecting Filipino style barbecue pork, so was obviously disappointed with the chewy red mess they served, but that’s my fault for having my porks confused. I think I read that their chicken fried rice is delightful, so I will add that onto my list of dishes to try next time I need my tapioca smoothie.

Great food, fast service, clean facility. Easy to order online; even has name slots for each item ordered which is very useful when ordering fit a group. Their chicken is delicious. Many Asian restaurants I have ordered chicken at scared me enough not to go back, not an issue here. Everything was literally perfect.

The chef in China Chef definitely knows how to throw down on some good Chinese food. I was in the area & was looking for a good Chinese restaurant that was close so I pulled out my trusted Unilocal App & found this place. This place was definitely a good find. It is in a little strip mall next to a Subway. The parking lot is a decent size but the parking right of front next to the door can be full at times. I was surprised when I walked inside at how big it was & how many tables they had. It was very spacious & the tables were spaced about with lots of room. I came around lunch time. I ordered a Mongolian beef & it came with fried rice & a soup. For my soup I had the choice of egg drop or hot & sour. I went with the hot & sour & it was very good. Some places taste a little bit too sour but this place was more on the hot side which I liked a lot. After about ten minutes the Mongolian beef came out. It was piping hot which was a big plus & you could tell it was brought to the table promptly after it was finished cooking. The portion was a good size & the food was delicious. The fried rice that came with the food was also very good. The service here was very good & the people who were running the place were also very nice. I decided to come here again & the second experience was just as good. Overall the food was delicious & the service was very good. I would definitely eat here again if I was in the area.

I stopped by here because i couldn’t find another restaurant I was looking for. I saw their lunch special posted outside so I decided to give it a try. The place was very bare. There weren’t any decorations– jut tables and chairs. I wonder if this is a new restaurant. I ordered the Szechuan shrimp and it was a big portion. I ate half of it and left the other half for dinner. I thought the flavor was alright. It was a little bland for my taste buds. However, it was a very good deal.

Today was our first time ordering carry-out from China Chef. We typically order from Lom Lings in Lombard or Jins and China Ho in Winfield, but China Chef is geographically closer so we figured let’s give it a shot. We were very glad we did. From time of order to food bagged and ready to go was 11 minutes. We ordered 3 basic, chinese restaurant staples: Mongolian Beef, Shrimp in Lobster Sauce and General Tso’s Chicken. Mongolian Beef: Flavorful with a bit of heat, nice sized portion and not drowning in gravy like other places treat this dish. Shrimp in Lobster Sauce: First, I give them props for not skimping on the Shrimp and unlike the Mongolian Beef, they went heavy with this awesome egg, lobster and bean sauce which was very tasty. General Tso’s Chicken: Where’s the breading? A lot of places put a heavy batter on their chicken so the ratio of bread to chicken is 2:1. NOT here. They again served a good sized portion of lightly battered chicken and veggies for flavor. They didn’t over douse the chicken in sauce either. It was just the right amount. My opinion, so far much better than all the surrounding Chinese take-out. This is a place you should try. Next time we’ll try delivery and 4 new dishes…

Walked into the restaurant and it was an awkward vibe. No other customers were there. Just 2 Asians on their laptop. The food was terrible. I was questioning how it was made and what I was actually eating. The service was terrible! Omg. Words can’t describe accurately. Felt like they were talking shit in Chinese the whole time. There were TVs on the wall but nothing playing… No wonder why there was no one in there.

I’ve ordered twice from them. Once it was delivery, the second time was carry out. The day we ordered delivery we were told 30 min but it actually was delivered in 15. Only complaint was that the person taking the order did not speak english very well. My bf had to repeat the order and address many times until she got it right. Well we ordered a beef and scallop dish and we got the dish we ordered minus the scallops. She placed the wrong order. It wasnt a big deal since the dish was very good and had a nice spice to it. We also ordered beef fried rice that was very good and not greasy like others I’ve tasted. The best part of the meal was my melon soothie. It was delicious! Sweet, refreshing and yummy! Second time we ordered carry out. I ordered beef lo mein and my bf got the chicken szechwan and he ordered it very spicy, very spicy it was. He was extremely happy with it, the portion was huge and the price decent. My dish was good, I loved the noodles. We are very happy with this place. We will make this a regular spot for us.

Experience: I ordered delivery and received my food within 30 minutes. The host was friendly and helpful to make sure that my order was correct. I didn’t see an online menu so I just ordered typical Chinese dishes. Food: Sweet and Sour Chicken was lightly crispy on the outside, tender and surprisingly juicy inside. Typical Sweet and Sour sauce. The egg roll was more like a spring roll and lightly crispy on the outside, I think they come in vegetable only. Delicious! Chicken Fried Rice was good not great. Vegetable Chop Suey was also notable. I will definitely be ordering from here again.

We walked in and ordered for carry out. Our 4-star rating is based on: Sweet and Sour chicken — 4 stars braised noodles with vegetables — 4 star. vegetable fried rice– 5 star egg rolls — 3 star because it was not a typical American-style egg roll. It should have been listed as a Spring roll. Restaurant dining room cleanliness — 5 stars Friendliness of staff — 5 stars The wait time for our food to be prepared — 5 stars It is probably the best Chinese food restaurant near our house so we will eat here again.

This place is great! My family likes to eat out after church on Sunday and we love Chinese food. Wanting to try a new restaurant, I searched Chinese here on Unilocal.The reviews were great, and we decided to give it a try. The reviews were correct. The portions are HUGE. The staff is so so friendly. And the food is amazing!!! I think we found our new regular Sunday afternoon spot. I ordered the vegetable tofu bento box with lo mein and crab rangoons. I didn’t order a smoothie but they looked so so good. I already know what I’m going to order next week!

It was really random that I ended up going here. I was watching a show that had Chinese food on it and then had a craving for it. Looked on Unilocal what was around, and this was the best rated one. Never heard of it and realized that it was very new, just about a week open when I went there on a Sunday afternoon. I’d give this play 4 stars for the food which I’ll explain later, but bumped it up to 5 because of our waitress. Doesn’t look like a traditional Chinese restaurant, but it’s such a big open room, not sure what else they could do with it. For the food, we got dumplings, egg drop soup, Mongolian beef, and shrimp fried rice. Dumplings were alright, different style than other traditional places. The small egg drop soup is a great deal for the price. A small was big enough for 2 people. The Mongolian beef was pretty good and same with the shrimp friend rice. Made for a good leftover meal later on that day too. Our waitress was really nice, and tea is free too. She even wondered if we didn’t like the food since we had so much left over but really, we just don’t eat a lot. So that’s really nice on her part. Got some coupons for next time that she gave us too.
