China Chef

More like 2 ½ stars. I got delivery today and was kind of disappointed. The food tasted ok, especially the general tso’s chicken. But, the beef and broccoli I ordered was almost entirely broccoli, and undercooked broccoli at that. There was not a lot of meat, and the broccoli was crunchy and hard to chew. I also ordered schezuan chicken which was ok, except it came with green peppers that it hadn’t previously (I don’t like them at all). The egg rolls were delicious, as was the (small portion of) general tso’s chicken. Maybe this time was a fluke and they were just off their game, I don’t know. But for how much it cost it was a disappointing meal.

Tried China Chef for the first time and was very impressed! I got the orange chicken and it was awesome. It was so much food that it served as 3 separate meals. We also got egg rolls and they were great as well. We definitely will be back!

Best inexpensive Chinese take-​out in the Toledo area.

Super quick service for carryout (awesome for lunch hour) and delicious fried rice! Inexpensive (especially the great lunch specials) and very good, so I will definitely return!

We were in town staying at the Residence Inn who recommended the establishment. We opted to pick up because some reviews said there were delays in delivery. We went online to order which was easy and the food was ready in 15 minutes.
All three of us liked the food. There serving sizes were more than enough, in fact too much. The menu was typical Chinese takeout with plenty of options for the family and was priced right. If we are ever in town again we will stop by for sure!

Some food very, very good… better than most American version Chinese restaurants. Placing an order for delivery (by phone) is very painful… English is NOT a second language for the staff. And if you place an order for delivery, you are gambling on the time frame. We have placed orders online and it will say 45 minutes. An hour an a half later we call, and are told another half hour. This is consistent. They then say if we pick it up, it will be ready, so obviously, not enough drivers. They do not call you telling you they will be late, and they get a little testy when you ask for a time frame… I am sure because they are busy.

Delivery took an hour and fifteen minutes when quoted 45min!
Food was nothing great. The spicy dishes were too spicy.
Disappointed.

We ordered dinner for delivery the other night, beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken and fried rice. Everything was pretty sub par. Kinda bland. They are reasonably priced, but it took over an hour for them to deliver to us less than a mile away. We’re not impressed, but not turned off.

My China Chef experience was ok. I ordered a large Beef Lo Mein. It tasted pretty good, but I thought for a «large» for almost $ 10 the container was kind of small. I remember ye olden days when a large lo mein was like the gigantic quart-​sized tke out box?

I’ve ordered food from here a couple times over the past few years. China Chef is located in a yucky, run-​down strip mall next to the Old Kazmaier. It’s not the best Chinese food I’ve ever had in my life, but I think it is perfectly adequate.
With a tiny, undecorated eating area consisting of 2 tables, this really is mainly a take-​out place. Be sure to check their website because there are always coupons for free egg rolls or free soup or free beverage, etc. You can also order online. Orders are usually ready within 10 – 15 minutes.

I’ve tried several things on the menu and the only bad ones were the Lo Mein ($ 5.95) which I found to be very bland, and the Pan Fried Pork Dumplings ($ 4.50 for 8) which had an awful doughy, chewy texture like when you over cook pasta and it’s just a mushy mess.
I’ve never had a problem with the Wonton Soup ($ 2.95 for large) or Wonton Egg Drop Soup ($ 3.25 for large) and each come with 4 big wontons. I wouldn’t mind a few more but I guess that’s why the price is so low.
The Chicken and Broccoli ($ 4.95 for small) and the Moo Shu Chicken ($ 7.95) have always had an excellent flavor and portions sizes are generous with plenty of chicken which is nice considering most Chinese restaurants really cut back on the amount of meat or chicken they give you and mostly fill the entrée with vegetables.
The Egg Rolls ($ 1.00 each) are always good but it is pretty hard to screw those up. And I always finish with Chinese Donuts ($ 2.50 for 10) which are great when they are still warm!

First time ordering chinese take out in the Maumee area and decided to try China Chef due to decent Unilocal reviews.
Ordered the lunch special Szechuan Beef with Hot and Sour soup for 4.95. The soup was good, nice flavor and spice. I’d prefer more spiciness but theirs was probably appropriate for the general audience. The soup also had large mushrooms and a decent amount of some type of vegetable, not my preference again but it actually complimented the soup quite well. The size was also decent; approximately a pint or so.
The entrée was kinda small but with the soup I personally wasn’t able to finish; and for 4.95 it was still a good amount. I wish it had more beef but I can’t say they skimped on the portion, next time I’ll just order without carrots, water chestnuts, and maybe broccoli since I don’t touch those; maybe they’ll give more meat to compensate. The sauce was nice and the beef not too chewy, overall I was very satisfied.
Being new to the area, I’ll try a few other places before I return but I would be content with this place as a go to if Yang’s or some others all turn out to be a duds.

Ordered online the F5 Singapore Mei Fun, no egg — huge portion, spicy and delicious. Fresh and quiet a value. Will be eating this again a few times this week. Free egg roll with $ 10 order crisp and tasty. Also ordered a side of white rice and side of General Tso’s sauce — Terrific, perfect pair.
This place is the best. Quick delivery, very nice people, always accurate orders.
The receipt is even printed in Chinese and English.

Ok, the environment of this place is not 5 star. However, the food is great considering the price. Soup and small size main course was more than enough food for dinner… especially since it was around $ 6.

Best Chinese carryout in the city.
China Chef has many attributes which make it a 5 star place.
#1– The food. The dishes are always made fresh to order and are served piping hot. Unlike other Chinese restaurants, the food here is exploding with flavor.
#2– The value. China Chef features 17 lunch specials for $ 4.75. Yes, for under $ 5, you get an entrée, rice and your choice of soup or soda pop.
#3– The staff. All of the owners and employees are polite, attentive and efficient. I have ordered over 100 meals from China Chef in the past 5 years and they have not made a mistake on my order, even when I have specific requests.
A++

The food not as great as some of the other reviews but if u have a craving or are new to the area it will due. My son ordered the Almond Chicken and got some weird black sauce. Always had yellow gravy with almond chicken. I got the sesame chicken and I did enjoy the meal. Waaaaaayyy to many onions in the fried rice. Otherwise 3stars on that dish. $ 15.00 for to meals one regular and one a combo. A little pricey in my opinion. But like I said if I have another craving I would go back.

Great Place to Eat. Their carryout is quick and the food is good. You cant beat the Lunch specials at all !

This is one of the best chinese resturants in the area. The spciy mixed veg is my favorite and my kids and friends love the boneless almond chicken. So far there is nothing on thier menu that has not been good. There service is excellent and they deliver.

The food here is excellent and the price is too good for the quality. I was surprised how great the food was for the price being so low. I’ve been looking for good fried rice in the Toledo area for some time and while many Asian restaurants serve it, only a couple offer truly good fried rice and the price is usually above $ 10 for it. China Chef offers what is probably the best fried rice and the price is between $ 5-​$ 8 for it! I highly recommend ordering from here if you want quality food and want to eat in. You can not get a better value in the Toledo area.

Really good and cheap Chinese food. Ordered combination plate Mongolian beef with an extra egg roll and large vegetable soup and paid around $ 11. Not a big place but very busy. I was there picking up the food for less then 5 minutes and three people stopped by to pick up theirs. They also took a few orders over the phone while I was there. They must be doing something right to be this busy. They only complain I have is that my beef wasn’t as spicy as I would have wanted it to be, next time I’ll ask for extra spicy. Great egg rolls.

A somewhat bizarre series of events brought me to China Chef, an all but unique Chinese take out tucked in to a larger than average town in Ohio. I was driving from Philadelphia to Chicago when I got a craving for some good grub. (Read good: not the typical service station McDonald’s/Roy Rogers variety).
Pull up the Unilocal ap: find me a hidden gem in Maumee, Ohio! Scan through the chains, a few local delis, ah… there you are. Call up my order and I’ll be there in 15 minutes.
Upon arrival, three school-​aged kids are running around the front entrance playing some version of tag. The owners of China Chef clearly embrace the virtues of the «family owned» business. The cashier takes not one, not two, but three phone calls before I can pay the bill. (Wow, this place must be popular). I drive away, trying to shove sweet and sour chicken down my throat before I return to the turnpike.
Overall, a nice place to stop if you’re in the area. I assume the locals visit this place because it’s the only game in town. Truth be told, I might venture here during my next trip through Ohio.
