The Chef

My favorite. Fast delivery. Easy ordering. Great food.
I picked up one time, and it looks like crap on the inside. From all the major cities I’ve lived in, I find the best Asian restaurants are the ones that look run down and hoodish on the inside, but that’s okay, the food is great.
The staff are super friendly though half of the time I can not understand them.

Yuck. I was skeptical because of the mixed reviews but I can tell you from experience, stay away from this place. The meat was so over cooked it literally disintegrates when you try to pick it up with a fork. I also ordered the egg drop soup… disastrous! It tasted like nothing and had a disturbing gelatinous consistency. The only reason I gave 2 starts is because the fried rice was the only thing edible. $ 30 down the drain. Never repeating this mistake!

The dish I ordered to go was fine but the steamed rice was so gross. I’m not picky when it comes to rice, but it was so overcooked, doughy, soggy… It wasn’t even shaped like rice anymore. The service is standoffish as if you’re putting them out by ordering something they have to cook. The ambience is dark and dingy, and makes you wonder how clean the kitchen is, since they had bags and boxes overflowing out of closets and onto some of the tables and the floor.
I love me a cheap, hole-​in-​the wall restaurant but the food and service have to be there…

We have ordered to-​go from here for a year. Delicious food. Every time. The dinner special hunan chicken is always good. Appetizers, too.

My friend and I were looking for a place that delivered and stumbled across this place on Unilocal.A little hesitant based on the reviews. We are glad we ordered from here. Ordered the combination fried rice and chicken with garlic sauce. The food was so yummy. We now hv a go to place. I usually order «common» food but the chicken with garlic sauce was actually legit. Delivery told me 45 mins I believe it came in 30. Guess it’s based on what you order but the food was really good.

The food is not good… my husband had sweet and sour chicken that had more breading than meat. I had shrimp fried rice and it wasn’t even seasoned. It was was our first and last time ordering from them.

Not clean. Not fresh. Not tasty. Not good service.
First thing I noticed when we came in was the fact that it was dead. We were the only people
there. The person who sat us was anxious but very attentive. The tables are covered in this plastic tablecloths that were extremely sticky. Our waitress also seemed anxious, probably because we were the only people she had served in a while. We ordered 4 egg rolls, the general chicken, and the orange chicken combos. We got our egg rolls after the entré because they forgot about them. The soups didn’t taste very fresh and the hot and sour one looked like dog food. The orange chicken and general chicken literally tasted the same. Also the orange chicken was served with the outside part of the orange, which I didn’t find appealing or tasty. Even though we were the only customers there we were never offered a refill and we had to go up to the counter to pay because they were taking so long, probably because the waitress seemed more interested in talking on the phone. Overall, a terrible experience. Would never go back.

I’ve been a loyal customer for about eight years and one change of ownership there are some ups and downs occasionally, sometimes it seems like the «chef» went on vacation, but even then the food is great… which is why it gets four stars.
Although this location might seem lonely, there are always people coming in and taking food home. I honestly prefer eating here and enjoying my soup and my (slightly) larger portion.
Now that I’ve moved away from home, I still get cravings for this place. Nothing really compares.

This used to be one of my favorite places to eat, especially because it’s near by. One day I ordered the combination fried rice & I was highly disappointed by what I found. As I was scooping through my rice, I found a dead bug mixed in! Yikes! Won’t ever go back. I’m scarred

Highly satisfied! I was very skeptical of this place considering some of the dishes I’ve had from other places in the area, but they did a pretty good job overall. I went ahead and loaded up with orders of both the General Tso’s and Beef and Broccoli, wonton soup and a side of cheese cake. The General Tso’s was just as advertised: sizable chunks of all white meat chicken lightly breaded and dipped in the perfect amount of sauce. I decided not to go too spicy and ordered them mild, but the flavor was in now way lacking. Coupled with white rice made for the perfect combination in my honest opinion.
The Beef and Broccoli was another story however. I wasn’t as impressed with the quality of beef used in this application and it simply left too much to be desired. The broccoli and carrots were fresh and crisp, but chewing seemingly endlessly on hard to classify pieces of beef kind of ruined the experience. The fried rice wasn’t much better either. I was expecting the bean sprouts and onions to be included in the lunch portion of the rice, heck even an egg would have likely made a difference, but that may be asking for too much. That said I likely won’t be included to make this choice again in the future.
The crab puffs were up to the industry standard and did exceed my expectations in many respects! Prepared perfectly with a hint on citrus.
It’s been a while since I’ve had wonton soup, but this was some of the best I’ve tasted! Definitely worth trying!
Lastly, the cheese cake was a divine treat to top off the meal. I don’t usually opt for desert when ordering delivery, but figured it wouldn’t hurt. It was great, even though still slightly frozen when arriving. It was actually almost as good as my mother’s and she’s a true confectionist who wouldn’t take me making such a claim lightly…
Delivery was lightening fast to the West Oaks area and so hot I needed need a moment to let it cool down. Avoid the beef and broccoli for lunch – unless of course you’re into that sort of thing – and I’m sure you’ll live to tell a great story!

I decided to order delivery from this place tonight, on a Wednesday, because I didn’t feel like cooking.
My estimated delivery time was 7:26 PM.
My food still hasn’t showed up and it’s 8:20
This is more than an hour after I placed the order, and over 30 minutes past the estimated delivery time.
I live less than 7 miles away.
This is completely unacceptable.
I called the restaurant twice and was assured my food was around the corner each time.
I have 3 hungry children and super late food.
This place needs to get their stuff together.

Upon hearing rave reviews from my manager regarding The Chef, a co-​worker and I decided to order delivery. The delivery process was efficient and fast, maybe 30 minute delivery for lunch. no big deal.
I dug into my fried rice. meh mediocre at best. Pretty bland.
HOWEVER, upon taking my first bite of my General Tso, I noticed a very short coarse hair (use your imagination where it could be from) in my food. Dissatisfied I immediately called The Chef to explain what happened and receive a refund. The lady, who honestly has no business answering the phone due to her customer service skills, replied, «DO YOU WANT FRIED RICE?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?». Why would I want fried rice when I just found a pubic hair in my food? Then she handed the phone to an equally incompetent male who asked, «WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US?». When I proceeded to explain the situation he condescendingly told me there was «no possible way… I have never heard of this happening.» He continued to go on, pretty much calling me a liar. From there I informed him of the lack of service I had received and he replied that someone would come by my office to «inspect» the hair.
The young man just showed up as I am typing this review to «inspect» the hair. After he barged in my office, he was extremely apologetic for the hair and told me I would receive a refund in 4 – 5 days. However, I will be calling to make sure I received said refund.
If only both the older lady and the manager were that nice, I wouldn’t be bitching in this review. I wouldn’t even be wasting my time with this review. But because of the disrespect, I could careless.
Bottom line: unhygienic, below average customer service, below average quality food. Save yourself the time and effort like a previous review stated and go to Panda Express.

Great Chinese delivery. Was tasty and hot and fresh. Its true the fried rice is a bit like white rice with soy sauce and maybe it was fried a few seconds but, it was still great flavor and we ate it all. Hot and Sour soup was good, as was the main course General Tso’s. Delivery was friendly and fast. I will be using these guys more often for Chinese delivery. Good food!

Totally not worth the reviews. Save your coin and get Panda Express. Standard fake Chinese fast food. Deep fried and ended up not finishing anything. Totally disappointed.

We got their beef fried rice, Kungpo chicken and a mixed vegetable dish. We love the fried rice. Very authentic Chinese fried rice with soy sauce，bean sprouts, and flavored beef slices. Kungpao chicken was very tasty as well.
The only thing I did not like was the vegetable dish. I like the varieties of vegetables in the dish which is baby corns, mushroom, Chinese cabbage and cucumber. The flavor is a little bland but still acceptable. But the Chinese vegetable was very bitter for some reason. Maybe it was not very fresh.
Over all I like the restaurant, but I probably would’ve order the vegetable again.

Food was quite greasy and my side of «fried rice» appeared to be steamed rice with splashes of soy sauce on top. On the plus side, you won’t get an MSG headache!

Pro’s: Orange chicken is very good. The fried rice is also good and comes with a decent portion size.
Con’s: Delivery time is so varied — sometimes you get your food very quickly; other times you’re calling the restaurant asking where the heck it is. Also, they have yet to provide the little bag of crunchy noodles for soup. I’m thinking you have to pay extra and specifically request them, but I find that weird and cheap of them to do.
All in all, I personally have not been disappointed with their food.

Solid takeout spot!
We ordered two dinner combos (sesame chicken and mongolian beef/​chicken/​shrimp) and were very happy with both — comes with egg roll, cheese puff, and a OUTSTANDING chicken wing per meal. Seriously we will be getting an extra order of wings next time they were really really good. Combos also come with soup — we had egg drop and wonton — both were really good and flavorful. The broth on the wonton was super tasty.
We also got the steamed pork dumplings (yes it was a ton of food) — they were very good as well — tender and flavorful and the dumpling sauce was really good as well.
This is our new clutch chinese takeout location — and they deliver!

Great Great Great! !
First timer
Beef chicken shrimp Kung pao was so fresh! Loved it!
Combination fried rice
Both really yummmmy. The shrimp were incredible, huge fresh no funny taste. Biggest shrimp ever in fried rice. Definitely a repeat !!

I don’t get all the good reviews on here. I know I am ordering Americanized Chinese food but it was just terrible. The rice was wet and lumpy and general tso’s chicken tasted like crap.
Wax extremely disappointed in my meal. Definitely will never order delivery from here again.
