Top Chef

We have been ordering take-​out from here for years. The service is indeed excellent, and the food is probably the best Chinese in town. It’s nothing fancy, but if you want something to take home — it fills the bill. Prices are reasonable.

This place is great! The food is super flavorful and fresh! The lady at the front is so friendly. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Worth the drive from King George

It’s funny how everyone says the service is so friendly and that definitely means much to me. Unfortunately that is the ONLY thing that was good. Remember it’s about the FOOD people! ergo my 1 star rating. Yes, it is located in a nice shopping center, to the far left near the Italian place, and Top Chef is new but when you walk in that cloud of grease smell permeates your nostrils and I was a bit surprised. That means: old cooking oil, poor vetilation, or poor end of night cleaning. I choose all of the above. Yes, the lady at the counter is as sweet as me. I ordered the standard Shrimp Fried Rice and Crab Rangoon (cream cheese puffs). The CR were 10 triangles, nicely fried BUT a ½ pat of low quality cream cheese and of course no crab, just a pink spec. So I paid lots of money for fried triangles that weren’t tasty. It came with a sweet sauce that I HAD to use to add some type of flavor. My SFR came in a nice large container, when I opened it, I found about 10 small size shrimp in all. The rice was a toasty brown and there was a sliver of onion. That’s it! A piece of onion & 10 smally shrimp, No veggies, no egg (hard to find anywhere). I ate the ENTIRE container because there was no substance! No flavor. Worst of all the shrimp had a mild chlorine bleach smell! I’m from MD and we know that’s a scandalous trick to preserve seafood, and it is NEVER done in our town, it would start a revolution. Oi! never again will I go there. Not that it’s terrible but it’s a business., and businesses do things to cut corners and this place does just that. I bet there will be health code violations in the future. Don’t say you have not been warned. Oh, I polished off the food because I have an iron clad tummy, I would NEVER have served this to a child or elderly person. Remember the old days when you bought fried rice and they filled it so full they would use that metal handle to close the top because it was bursting, and layer the juciest shrimp right on top? And remember the days when a person opened a restaurant because they wanted to serve the best tasting food? This place is just a business that more than likely has never tasted the finished product. Not worth it going here… try some place else.
