China Chef

I go to China chef at least every other week (I get cravings for their steamed shrimp dumplings!). The woman who works the counter is always very pleasant and kind. she has even taken the time to remember my name and my usual order.
For the décor being not updated and the Chinese-​takeout-​shopping-​strip feel the place is clean and you can see your food being cooked. I’ve never had a bad experience with anything I have ordered.
Hunan dishes are great, the sauce is just spicy enough. I live right around the corner and plan to keeping this my go-​to Chinese carry-​out place!

We used to love China Chef. Their food was wonderful. But within the last 2 years we noticed a decline in the service. Both the quality of food as well as delivery issues have caused us to change our business to a different place. My biggest gripes recently are the General Tso sauce and the quality of the eggrolls. The General Tso sauce was always my favorite but over a year ago it seems like the sauce they were serving was very bland. I made it a point to ask them to make it spicier when I ordered it since, but that only works a fraction of the time. Also, the eggrolls used to have a delicious flavor, but now the filling taste like nothing but peppered cabbage.

Their service is always decent in my personal experience. The food takes a little while to cook so either call in advance or be patient.
Cons: Sometimes when you order a chicken dish, some of the pieces are imitation chicken and not the real chicken. Only some of their dishes are good. The rest is mediocre or worse.
Pros: Spare ribs are fatty and delicious. They have brown rice. The lady there is always very friendly and humble. Their Lo Mein is pretty good if you like greasy and oily, I like.
Family owned business and whoever their delivery guy is, he always seems to be a douche. But they don’t know that until a customer experiences the ordeal.

Ordered here for lunch with coworkers. Not only was the delivery super fast, but everything was nice and hot, and all orders were 100% accurate. The delivery person also brought change like we asked, and because we ordered so much, they threw in a free lunch portion of General Tso’s and an egg drop soup!

I placed an order for delivery. Received the order and as I unpacked it, realized that one item I ordered was missing. They included something I don’t like and didn’t order. I called the restaurant to let them know about the error. The person on the phone kept telling me that I ordered something I didn’t and refused to do an exchange. We went back and forth and still no resolution. I felt they should’ve at least exchanged the wrong item for what I did ACTUALLY order. I didn’t feel that was alot to ask. I will NEVER order from this establishment again. To anyone that decides to order from this restaurant BEWARE: If they place your order over the phone, read it back to you, but then you receive it and something is wrong, they’ll DENY IT and won’t do anything to fix the issue.
There’s too many other restaurants in the area that have better customer service. You are the customer and don’t have to put up with that.

We have ordered here in the past, and the food was decent. However, recently it was so horrible that I had to jump on Unilocal to warn others.
First, the person taking the order by phone couldn’t understand where our address was (not sure why someone taking delivery orders would have such poor communication skills) so my husband had to pick the food up.
The order included General Tso and Hunan Chicken, with fried rice. The «chicken» meat was questionable, and tasted like rubber. The fried rice was a greasy mess.
Not sure what happened here, but spend your money elsewhere. There are plenty of other options in the area.

When ordering for delivery, be sure if paying a tip using cash, that you cross out the tip section and write the total (I normally do this, but didnt on this occasion). The driver decided to tip himself on top of the cash tip! Besides that incident, the food is normally hot, fresh and tasty. I usually get the Kung pao shrimp with white rice and a shrimp egg roll.

The service was very quick and friendly, the food was well organized when delivered. I tried the garlic chicken which was good but not anything special. The crab wontons were AWESOME however. I’ll probably try something different next time.

A restaurant that fits all the musts of Chinese takeout: it’s inexpensive, quick, well packed (they bag your food, and put it in a box to carry home), and a little greasy. It’s in a shopping center next to a Food Lion and a liquor store, so it’s in a pretty convenient location.
Just so you know, the credit card minimum is $ 10.
