Chef Bo

Very mediocre. Fair price for average food.

Ever since I found Chef Bo while doing a random search on Unilocal,I have been frequenting it about once every other week. Not only do they deliver their wonderful foodn they also have A beautiful dining area. They have a wonderful and friendly staff that are very attentive. The food is excellent and is very reasonably priced. They also have daily lunch specials for under 7 dollars including tax, also includes a side of hot sweet and sour soup (not including a tip if you dine in). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EATING HERE AT CHEF BO! Thanks guys keep up the great work.

Yum yum yum! This place is so goooooooood. The location makes it a surprise gem in an otherwise strange shopping complex. They deliver very quick and the food is always just what you’ve hoped for. And delivery is FREE! I recommend it for any other lazy college students, or humans who like food.

First time coming here & it will be my last. I stopped by Chef Bo to order food to-​go.
Food:
I ordered two dinner combo special for $ 8.99/each. One was Mangolian Beef (extra spicy) and the other was Szechuan Beef (extra spicy) with half fried rice and half chow mein (side note: they charged me $ 0.50 to have it half rice and half noodles).
So, I get home and the Mongolian and Szechuan Beefs were all soupy that it got all over the rice (in one box) and the chow mein (in the other box). On top of that, they never gave me half fried rice and half chow mein. It was all chow mein. I was a bit upset because they charge me for something (I know it’s only 50 cents but still!) that they didn’t even do.
So, I take a bite of my food and it was gross. It had no flavor. The noodles was super soft and was not fresh. AND… it wasn’t even spicy. Super annoyed that I spent money on food that I didn’t even eat.
Never again.

So good ! I love this spot super nice staff not too crowded ! Suggest the walnut shrimp !

Mongolian beef combo plate it the best! I order to go on my lunch break and they are always fast and efficient. Also the customer service there is great, everyone is very friendly :)

This place is horrible Chinese food. i even think panda express is better than this place. I’m Chinese but they cater to the american taste buds and are not authentic at all. So if you want your typical fried rice and noodles. Here is a good place to go. If you want authentic Chinese food just pass. All of their dishes are heavily sauteed with salt and some sort of gravy. I asked for sauteed vegetables and they just gave me gravy veggies. GROSS.
won’t be coming back…
The only good thing is that they do have online ordering and delivery options without a delivery fee.

I have lived in Sacramento’s Arden area for 15 years and a Chinese restaurant has been in this space under at least two names for as long as I can remember. Previous visits some time back were unimpressive. However, as Chinese joints are disappearing around here at an alarming rate, and this is the closest one to my house, it was time to return again.
First impression — not bad at all. I went for lunch and had shrimp and snow peas (and carrots) for $ 7.79. A cup of good hot-​and-​sour soup was served first. The main dish arrived steaming hot with a cheese won ton and very good fried rice, light and flavorful.
A couple of comments — I could have used another shrimp or two; and the sauce had a vague tannin flavor. It was unusual but not unpleasant.
I will return, especially because the Chef delivers.

I’ve ordered delivery from Chef Bo about 5 – 7 times now and every time I order they are very prompt with my order. Today was about the last straw before I knew j had to write a review. I placed my order at 6:44 pm, there was a knock on my door at 7:02. Food was hot and fresh. Granted I live 2 blocks away but it is always great service. I ordered their General Chicken (to die for) sesame chicken, fried rice, and egg rolls. I especially like their fried rice and general chicken. It’s a must have every time. Thank you Chef Bo for always being polite, prompt, with great food to match.

Best service & Chinese food in the area! Free delivery for $ 18+ orders within 3 miles. Lunch & dinner combos for less than $ 10. Dine-​in gives you a clean restaurant, bathrooms & ambient lighting. Very nice place to eat with close friends or even for a family dinner. I love it here. I give them compliments ALL THE TIME, even when I order through Unilocal!
HOUSE SPECIAL EGG FOO YUNG WITH PORK FRIED RICE FTW!

I have had many good meals from Chef Bo over the years but something has changed. New owners maybe, or new chef. But the last two times i have ordered from there the food has been substandard. Tonight it was awful. Really awful. The shrimp fried rice was gummy, for starters. Then when I bit into a shrimp, it had the mushy texture of an old slice of potato. As I sit here right now, I’m worried that I’m going to seriously regret having that thing in my stomach.
Also, the egg rolls were greasy, like they’d been fried in lard, and the rest of it tasted like it had been sitting in a buffet table for days.
Never going back.

I really wanted to like this place, but the lack of substantial vegetarian options, considering the neighborhood and the so~so orange chicken my friend had really turned me off. I ordered from a menu I which looked less than a month old but the dish I asked for first was apparently no longer on a new menu. Then again, the restaurant has great presence and the lunch rush wasn’t too bad.
I think I will give it another try at some point however, since the customer service was so nice. Will update when I do!

Ordered delivery from the hotel.
This could have gone wrong multiple ways.
It didn’t.
We got the House Special fried rice and Honey Walnut Shrimp. Arrived in excellent condition and it was delicious.
So much so that we got too full for the wedding we went to an hour later.
Pro tip: do not eat too much before a wedding. We were so bloated, it hurt.

This review if for delivery only. Food comes hot and speedy! Easy process online to order. I always get the orange chicken which comes w scallions mixed in. Scrumptious.
Only complaint, in the notes section when I order I always ask to please knock instead of ringing doorbell due to my cujo dog… they always ring door bell.

I just ordered dinner to be delivered by Chef Bo. Excellent food, and prompt delivery. I ordered online and the order was in only a few minutes when phone rang. It was the restaurant with a question about how I liked my pot stickers cooked! And when those pot stickers arrived, they were perfect.
The delivery guy also figured out how to get to my apartment, even though my building has a different street address from the official street address of the complex. I’m not sure I could have done that.
I didn’t give 5 stars because I want to use the restaurant a few more times first. The food was yummy! After spending the last 5 years in South Carolina, it tasted like heaven to me. Looking forward to working my way through my fave parts of their menu. Highly recommend.

A generous 3 (changes later you will see why). The waiter was efficient, extremely quiet, and polite enough (distant). The food was ok. The hot and sour soup was better than a lot of places I’ve had so that got high ranks with me. The meat was a bit chewy and the broccoli tasted a little weird and the rice had an interesting texture. Again I’m picky about Chinese food having been spoiled my whole life by Mandarin Gourmet in the Bay Area. In comparison this place would get one star but it is in Sacramento. For Sacramento it gets 3 for being edible. There was no dipping sauce for my egg roll but rather they pre sprinkled sauce on it.
Also most disturbing was how bombarded with religion I was. The radio was on the fish and everything from music to commercial was religious and about specifically Jesus. That’s great but maybe the name should be changed to Mrs. Kim’s religious Chinese food. With the logo «jesus on every plate» in honor of my love for Gilmore girls! That would turn it into an event and solicit me to come back. Also there were invitations to join the Rock church instead of advertisements on the table for the food they serve. Possibly food isn’t their calling. I couldn’t tell if I was eating Chinese food or back at church. Did I just get saved?
Also everyone has a right to their own religious choices however it Is a public business. I thought it a bit tacky and exclusionary to not be mindful of other patrons who might have a different religious view or none at all. Actually wait after all of that I think I’m going back to my original desire to put a 2. Sorry but the food was just ok and the environment a bit un-​inviting.

Food was good, price is great! Service is really good. I got a Unilocal promo discount for this place so it was definitely worth it to come here to try out. It was really slow for a Friday night but it wasn’t super dead. It was nice and quiet inside, and they played Christian music the whole time we were there. I also saw on their alcohol drink menu an advertisement for worship hours at a local church which was pretty odd…
Nonethless, parking was plentiful and inside was beautiful and ambient. I would recommend this place if you like americanized Chinese food and good deals. However, if you want more authentic Chinese food, this is not the place to get it.

This place wasnt that good considering the food was nothing special and the service sucked! I had lunch here with a co worker. My coworker is a big bald black guy and im a tall mexican. When we walked in i sensed a vibe of not welcomed there. We were sat to the table closest to the front counter. I Ordered some spicy general chicken with steamed rice. I swear like 30 seconds after receiving our food the waitress came and placed the check on out table that really bugged me. A table across was two white guys eating their food in peace no check was brought to them anytime soon as a matter a fact when we left no check was on their table that really annoyed me. I will never come back to get stereo typed and profiled. It felt like waitress were saying «hurry up and eat!» Just didnt feel welcomed or wanted their.

A friend was craving Chinese food so here we are! The food was pretty standard with good portions. There’s a dinner special for $ 8.99 that includes a small bowl of soup, an egg roll, choice of entrée, choice of rice or noodles and a beverage. Not too shabby. I actually took advantage of the separate entrees cause I didn’t care for soup or egg roll. I got MONGOLIAN BEEF ($ 8.50) and BBQ PORK FRIED RICE ($ 6.50). It was a good amount to share with my BF. Again, standard Chinese food to me but family style saves you money.
The customer service was good. Refilled water and asked if everything was okay. They also gave use fortune cookies and a slice of orange for dessert.
I would give this place a try if you’re craving Chinese food and near the area.

I came to Chef Bo for lunch on a Thursday with my coworker Alesha S. because they have a lunch special where you get a meat/​tofu dish with chow mein or rice, a cream cheese wonton and egg drop soup.
The décor inside is nice and new with fresh paint on the walls and nice floors. The service is friendly and attentive and even made a substitution on the menu for me which was nice.
I ordered the lunch special with Orange Tofu and Chow Mein. The Egg Flower Soup was OK because I’m not a big fan of that kind of soup in the first place. I loved the Cream Cheese Wonton and thought it was a nice treat. The Chow Mein had good flavor as well, and the Orange Tofu could have been cooked a little longer (a little softer in the middle than I usual like) but I did like the orange sauce that it came with because it wasn’t too sweet. My coworker liked the taste of her Mongolian Chicken, but there were too many onions and seriously lacking in chicken so it was quite disappointing.
I would come back here again when craving Chinese Food because they have great lunch specials. They also have cheap drinks which I may have to partake in next time as well.
