Love this place! Fresh food and great people who run it and cook your food made to order! This place has been in chico for 35 years and I've only been a few times but it is becoming a staple for us. It's hard to pass up a good vibe and fresh food! Love the windows into the kitchen so you get to see them make your food and even wave! They were kind enough to set up a table for 8 ahead of time and were kind when our entire party didn't show. Mu shu is out of this world food and fresh the pancakes are amazing and I want to buy some for home! So fresh and flavorful and she will roll them for you!! The po po platter was perfect gave us a little of everything and is more than enough to share for 3!! Sizzling rice soup - great broth and wonderful vegetables nice and crunchy! Can't remember the name of the chicken dish but wow - it's something you must eat there or get the sauce on the side if you get it to go! It's so crunch and yummy! We've had other food and would suggest this little gem to anyone!! Nice owners and staff!! Really enjoy going and sitting and even visiting! read more

I love the food here and there is a young waiter in the evenings who is great, but the older woman on the day shift or early evening is not a good support for the business. She ignores customers (including us) when we come in to get served and stays busy doing her set up work. She sweeps the floor while we were eating, even though they just opened 45 min. earlier. She packs or take home order of egg rolls in salad-type plastic containers instead of the boxes. Her lack of care is turning me off the place, though she's there at a time when it works for my family and I to eat out. Maybe the place just wants to close. Too bad, great Chinese Food is hard to find! read more

Very delicious food and good service . Me and my co workers were very happy with our orders.

We came again and it was super tasty. Updating to 5 stars. Best Chinese spot in town! read more

AMAZING CHINESE FOOD! This Chinese food is delicious--better than the Chinese food we've had in San Francisco's Chinatown. The Sizzling Rice soup is phenomenal. Fresh veggies, delicious broth and fresh shrimp. The braised bean curd with fresh veggies was perfectly cooked, and the chow mien was made with thick tasty noodles, fresh veggies and chicken. The place itself is easy to get to and parking plentiful. The restaurant is clean, and the staff is courteous and quick. Chan Pheng's Mandarin Cuisine is the place to go for excellent Chinese food! read more

Picked up a to go order Everything was delicious. Staff was super friendly. I ordered a glass of wine while waiting and it was a generous pour. Portions are standard to a little extra than normal read more

The best Chinese food in Chico. I love the veggie deluxe. I ordered veggie deluxe and spring rolls, Delicious. Look at how fresh and colorful those veggies are. The bright green broccoli. The orange carrots pop. Those are FRESH veggies! Watching the staff work the wok and food gave me nostalgia for my time in Guanzhou, watching street vendors expertly cook noodle dishes in front of me. The avacado green walls gave the room a warm and inviting ambiance. The food I watched coming out was all vibrant looking and delicious smelling. The staff was attentive and friendly and asked everyone how their day was going. I'm so glad I decided to pop in. read more

If you are looking for delicious Chinese cuisine in Chico look no further than this little gem hidden on Mangroves between 1st and 3rd. We ordered take out, got some General Tao chicken and steamed rice and I had some leftover mushu chicken so I ordered more pancakes and plum sauce. Oh my goodness i can't gush enough about the smell of the chicken as i drove home. And of course it tasted as good as it smelled. Best mushu pancakes EVER! I didn't take pics but trust me on this the food and the service...chef's kiss read more

We've been coming here for decades. It's our go to for Chinese food. Great people that own the place.

Food was very good and the service was great! Looks very small and a little cookie cutter from the outside but it's much larger inside. Very cutely decorated with a "nice dinner" ambiance. Highly recommend read more

The staff are all always very nice and friendly. Even when it gets very busy, they try their best to be attentive and cordial. I'm amazed at how calm they can be in the face of rude and demanding customers. Perhaps more importantly, the food is excellent! I have probably eaten at all of the Asian/Chinese restaurants in Chico and Chan Pheng's is the most consistently delicious of all. Another nice feature is the window to the kitchen so you can watch the chef prepare your meal. My wife and I enjoy Chan Pheng's food at least once most weeks! Eating in or taking it out the food is always delicious! read more

Best chow mien I've ever had in my life!! Worth the long drive to Chico. The owners were very hospitable and sweet! Very generous with their portions and were freshly made. I was really impressed and would recommend this to anyone looking for authentic mandarin food :) read more

Chan Pheng's Mandarin Cuisine - Chinese Near Me - Chico, California

Try this resto for first time. We ordered lunch special Sweet and Sour Chicken and Chicken Braised. It comel with the chicken separated in small plate and rice in small bowl Pretty good idea, because if you have left over and want take it away the dishes won't messy with rice. Unique soup we got a bit of noodle with chicken. Also the egg rolls come with wonton skin fried. The rest is small but clean. We really satisfied. Sure be back again next time we come to Chico. The price are very decent too read more

Best Chinese restaurant I've tried in Chico, by far! I went to lunch there yesterday with my large ladies luncheon group. I was impressed! We all loved the food. Everyone was so very happy with their meals. The veggies were so fresh and not overcooked, as many places tend to do. The food was hot, appealing, and appetizing. Service was very good! I can't wait to visit again. read more

Traveled over here for my lunch waited for them to open at 12:30, I walked in . The lady came asked what I wanted. I said can I get a lunch special with Mandarin chicken ? she said no . I go I can't ? She said no. I go " can I pay extra " she said no . OK well, I'll have them mandarin chicken à la cart. Can I add on and make it complete she said sure. I think the add-on is an extra four dollars. I said do you guys have brown rice she said no . I go, Am I able to substitute the steamed rice for chow mein? She said no. I said can I if I pay extra ? she said no . I changed my mind and left. I don't ever want to go to this restaurant again, service is terrible. I'm pretty sure it's a private restaurantso when she tells you no that means she doesn't want to . that's not what I expect when I go to a place that has the ability to customize. Even if I could pay for it , they said no!She didn't even offer me what she could do. She just kept saying no to everything!! Too busy or preoccupied with opening?? Idk. . , but I'm gonna give them zero out of five stars for service! . I don't even care what the food taste like. It pissed me off because I only had an hour and I really was set on trying this restaurant being from out of town but not with that type of service. read more

Nothing but praises! Always delicious, large portions, and the staff are absolutely wonderful!! Such a welcoming and cozy little shop with 10/10 food. read more

fresh veggies, home cooked meals, excellent. Family run, good service, easy parking. I recommend it.

The service was great and the seating comfortable. The food, though seemed overly sweet even though one of the dishes promised to be spicy. Is Chang Pheng's catering to the American palate? read more

A welcoming, "Howdy!" was the start of another 5-star Wednesday dining experience. Thank you to Maxine and May for an entertaining evening. We were laughing and smiling from the moment we sat down. And the rest of the regulars who were clearly having a good time. The coming and going of DoorDash and Grubhub pick-ups a clear indication of the popularity of Chan Pheng's. The staff was on a first-name basis with many of the takeaway customers. And as soon as we introduced ourselves, they were talking to us in the same way. We loved the window into the kitchen watching the fast-paced cooking of this two-person team Cindy and Chan. Exhausting!!! Huge menu made the decisions difficult. An order of pan-fried pot stickers were rushed to the kitchen because they take time to prepare. Then an order of Mu Shu Pork and Chicken Chow Mein. We couldn't resist, already knowing it was going to be too much food. Yes, we had plenty for another meal. And then before any of it arrived, Maxine brought us both a complimentary bowl of Egg Flower Soup. It was fantastic! Even on this incredibly hot day we slurped it right down. Everything was so fresh. And thrilled to know they support the Chico Farmers Market. We strongly support all things local and happy to put Chan Pheng's Mandarin on our star-studded list of deliciousness. We will definitely be back and have already shared this outing with other Chico friends. read more

Wonderful Family Chinese Resturant. We drive 30 mins. just to eat there. Best egg flower soup ever! The owners are so sweet and hospitable! read more

Went here for a Mothers Day dinner and REALLY wanted to give it a try after hearing on NextDoor how great the food was. We walked in to an empty restaurant except for one large table in the middle which had aprox 10 people wrapping up their meal. While waiting I saw a dirty fish tank at the front next to the register in the dining room (eww) and also noticed that the fish tank stunk like, well, a fish tank. They have a very noticeable odor when they're not clean. I found the idea kinda grody but shrugged it off because we really wanted to give the place a try. We were seated in less than five minutes, my mom sat down and I excused myself to the bathroom to wash my hands. Why am I telling you this? Because I'm a clean person and I like the places I eat to be clean too. More on that in a minute... I made my way down a long hallway where I noticed a cart sitting next to the outside of the bar (but still on the dining floor, in the eyesight of customers) with two bins filled to the brim with yucky, nasty dirty dishes. FILLED. TO. THE. BRIM. I thought, "Ok, that's gross" but continued down the hall to the bathroom. I washed my hands and on the way out I could see the entrance to the kitchen and how dirty the doors, as well as the hallway floors were. Dirty as in having not had a good mop or scrub down in YEARS. (Barf in my mouth a little bit). I didn't want to be a negative Nelly and complain to my mom about what I had seen, I just wanted to try to enjoy the dinner. So! I sat down and looked around and noticed the horrendously filthy floor. My mom caught me looking and she took a look at the floor as well then picked up her fork and made a not-so-happy face. Her fork was dirty. Just as dirty as the floor which looked as if it hadn't been swept or mopped for an eternity. I don't know if it was the golden hour shining in their window exposing all their DIRRRRRRTY, filthy secrets or if this was typical for this restaurant but, at that very moment we knew we had to leave. We gathered our belongings and as the waitress came back asking what we would like to drink, we politely said, "We've decided on something else and won't be staying". She seemed a bit taken back for a second then said. "No problem" and we walked out. Dirtiest restaurant I've EVER witnessed or been in, and I truly wonder what their kitchen looks like. I REALLY tried to give it a chance but my God, CLEAN THE PLACE ONCE IN A WHILE. The dirty, stinky fish tank was the first sign that we should have turned around and walked out. Sorry I'm not sorry but first impressions are EVERYTHING and the first impression I got here was straight-up filth. Advice if you've never been here? Go in the nighttime and wear sunglasses inside. Maybe you won't notice the considerable amount of funk on the floors or the silverware. read more

I was gonna order the Mongolian beef and the walnut shrimp, because those were the most popular items according to yelp. I was informed no longer have the walnut shrimp on the menu, and they also don't have any fish when I tried to replace that with salt and pepper fish. But I did get the Mongolian beef and the house fried rice and orange chicken instead. 2/3. House Fried rice is yummy. The orange chicken taste just right: savory and sweet. Mongolian bbq is bland. It looks spicy, it is not. There's also no green onions or peppers in it which is something I am used to. I wouldn't include it on their greatest hits. I give this place a benefit of a doubt and try it again. read more

Chan Pheng's Mandarin Cuisine - Mongolian Beef. It looks spicy, it is not. It's pretty bland. - Chinese Near Me - Chico, California

We stopped in here for a little lunch and they had a daily special. We both enjoyed it and we will have to go back again for dinner!

The best Chinese food in Chico hands down! Great Wor Wonton soup, Egg rolls, Generals Chicken. Can't say enough about this restaurant!

I'm from NYC and I give it 5 stars because food is so delicious! Years and years of experience eating there never been disappointed. Service is friendly sometimes slow it's a family business. read more

Online pricing: grossly incorrect, about a 50% discrepancy Flavor: ok Portion: disappointing This isn't a ploy to make the rating lower to signify it is an amazing restaurant as the saying goes.......I am overall disappointed read more

Very good food and service. Honey Walnut prawns would give it five stars! The food is hot and fresh. Very nice atmosphere

We were so pleased to find Chan Pheng's on our visit to Chico. The service was friendly, and the food was delicious - what more do you need? The sweet and sour pork was a delight - we both noticed a different but delicious taste. We're thinking it was cinnamon - what a delight! We will definitely visit again the next time we go to Chico. read more

First Chinese restaurant in Chico. Sarah, our server, was smart and congenial. Place was almost empty at around 7 PM. The celebrations of 5 de Mayo, perhaps? Restaurant was clean overall, so we proceeded to get a Family Special for two, to the tune of $17.50 each. Consisted of the following: 2 egg rolls, 2 foil wrapped chicken, and those big fried thin bread? Won ton soup for two, Almond chicken. Mongolian beef, White rice for 2, and apart a Combination Fried Rice. Egg rolls average at best, 3 Stars. Wrapped chicken poorly done, 2.5 Stars. Those fried whatever 1.5 Stars. Won ton soup chicken tasting broth, which sadly was served lukewarm, which is bad practice, since is supposed to be served hot, if the chef doesn't know that, then who does? 3 Stars. Almond chicken easy to enjoy, 3.5 Stars. Mongolian beef, small serving, at best 3.5 Stars. Order of Combination Fried Rice, $13.50, more rice and more beef than the other two, good flavor, but after a minute one realizes that rice superiority is not a bargain, 3 Stars. No tea offered, a fine tradition, that in this place was a no show. Service can't complain, 4 Stars. Water tasted good, 4 Stars. Steamed rice just that. Total $54+ plus gratuity. Decent folks running this place. 3.5 Stars. read more

I have to be honest. The Chinese cook who I spoke with (she may be the owner) was my best part of coming here. I was hoping for an authentic Chinese food experience but didn't find it here. Regarding the food, the handmade pot stickers were passable but I was missing the extra crispies because they didn't add cornstarch to the water. The Kung Pao had so much extra green veggies that didn't belong in there, like lots zucchini, it was probably one of the reasons why the whole dish seemed watery and lacking flavor. In general the food is cheaply priced, you get free egg roll, fried wonton skins, and soup with your order. By the way, the soup was really weird.. seemed like someone tried to make a fusion version of chicken noodle soup. I think this place could do better business with some quick changes. Some things like the Kung Pao shouldn't be changed, most Americans like this dish the authentic Chinese way. Americans also like hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, sizzling rice soup, there's no need to get creative with a "Chinese chicken noodle soup". Crab rangoons are super popular these last few years, yt people on social media won't shut up about them, I'm not sure why these are not sold here? read more

Amazing food & service. We showed up late but were seated by a friendly hostess and treated well until we left. Definitely going back for hot & sour soup and can't wait to try more items! Bonus, loved watching Chan work his kitchen through the window! read more

Covid compliant and awesome service to-go. Food was tasty, egg rolls were crispy. My hubs hadn't eaten here, ever. What?!? We fixed that. Enjoyed the hot ginger garlic chicken, beef broccoli, and chow mein with egg rolls as our appetizer. Portion sizes were large, order was ready quickly. read more

Doesn't look like much when you enter this dank little restaurant but the food is fresh, delicious and authentic. No problem with takeout portions either. read more

Food was very boring and pricey for what it tasted like. Wished the food didn't have so much syrup, seems very processed.

Super delicious authentic Chinese food at a good price. We got the family meal which came with a lot of different items, all fresh and delicious. The service was great as well. Totally recommend. read more

LOVE this place!! This is a husband and wife team and they make delicious food and are friendly people. This is the only place I recommend for Mandarin Cuisine.. I don't care of anyone else in Chico. MUST TRY the POTSTICKERS!!! The owners make them fresh and once they run out.. they are out the week. I have loved the quiet atmosphere the delicious food and enjoying watching the two chef through the window. read more
