Ordered mapo tofu with pork, and it was disgustingly salty--completely inedible. We ended up throwing the whole dish away since it was delivery. What a waste of money and food. It's honestly some of the worst food I've ever had--nothing but overwhelming saltiness. The other day, we tried the ho fun, which was just as bad. The Mongolian chicken tasted bitter and awful. Everything we tried was disgusting. Whoever is cooking here clearly has no sense of taste. I have no idea how this place is still in business. This is easily the worst restaurant in College Station. This is the last time I ordered from this disgusting place! read more

Nice spot for a quick, inexpensive lunch with great service. Lunch menu has generous portions at low prices. read more

Chef Cao's - Tofu and vegetables - Chinese Near Me - College Station, Texas

If you live in College Station, consider yourself lucky to have several Chef Cao's in your town. I am not an expert on Chinese cuisine, but I have lived in China and eaten in hundreds of Chinese restaurants and Chef Cao's is top tier. With very fresh ingredients, authentic recipes that stand out from the norm and very fair prices, I can't recommend these restaurants more highly. read more

Great food. Ordered the general tso's chicken with lo mein, sesame chicken with lo mein, and sesame chicken with fried rice. Both chicken dishes were amazing! Only critique is the rice was not flavorful enough, lacked pan fry flavor but still good. Can't beat a lunch special for under $10! read more

I only give this a 4 has the orange chicken wasn't that great BUT everything else was so yum! Best surprise of our order was the shrimp, they use REAL shrimp not the little baby ones! Could have used more of it but nonetheless it was so good! read more

Food is very good. Tasty and generous. Usually do take-out. Good price. Fast. Repeat patron.

Great food, decent quantity, good service at a reasonable price for a college town .....my go to

We walked in right before closing time and they were so nice!! Great service and the food was great too!!

Our food was delicious (pad Thai and garlic chicken) and they were so helpful when I needed them to double check food ingredients due to a dairy allergy. Our waitress was so kind. We will return! read more

Ordered king pao chicken. Got orange chicken that had peanuts added to it... also got burned egg rolls.

Excellent: Fried rice, honey walnut chicken & rolls are the best around here for sure. Not the typical out of the box crud served at most chinese places. read more

Small family chain in BCS: Hometown Chinese in Bryan on Texas Ave at Elm St., south of Villa Maria (next to Carters Burger), chef Cao's on University in College Station, and this location in far south College Station near the H‑E‑B. All are Great food! read more

Chef Cao's - Nice new restaurant in south CS. - Chinese Near Me - College Station, Texas

The food at Chef Caos is always amazingly! The restaurant is S College Station is clean and the service is great too!

My cashew chicken was undercooked, at least the vegetables. Carrots were like they had just been sliced. The sauce had the consistency of colored water. The whole thing was almost tasteless. The waitress was extremely nice and efficient. Parking was scarce. There were only six spaces available ; three for pick-up and three for handicapped. I parked in the pickup space even though I was dining inside. read more

The food was average Chinese food. Our order was to go so all I can say is the order was correct. I was decent and I'd order from there again. read more

I've only had take out food from Chef Cao's a couple times now. But I felt both times prices were too high for what I got. Food was decent but not bursting with flavor. I've believe I got the orange chicken the first time and mongolian beef the next. The orange chicken just didn't see fresh and the Mongolian beef quality wasn't great. Some gristle and chewy parts. Orange chicken had more breading than chicken it seemed. I still ate them all so it wasn't horrible, just ok. I'll try them again someday but just not yet. I hope they improve! read more

The food is great and it's a very quiet place it's very peaceful the works hard with a lot of people in the restaurant or not they try thier best and they do well read more

If you're looking for decent American style Chinese food, this is the place! The service was very quick and attentive. Our food came out pretty soon after we ordered it and was actually hot! Who would have thought that would be a thing you say but it is. We've ordered here a few times and haven't found anything we weren't impressed with. read more

The food's not bad, just not the best as far as my tastebuds go. I wanted egg rolls, got spring rolls. The restaurant is pleasant and clean. The servers were working at a good pace. read more

Best Chinese food in CSTX. High quality. Reasonable prices. Pleasant wait staff. Clean restaurant.

Everything here is delicious. The Thai options are phenomenal. Penang and massaman curries are my favorites. The honey walnut chicken or shrimp are treat. This place has always been good, but since the pandemic started, they have become even better. Dine in, take out, or delivered, it's fresh, hot and tasty! read more

Pretty good food especially for the price and portion sizes. We will go there again on regular basis.

The food was delicious at the location across fro Costco. It is made fresh and will change veggies if you tell them when you order. I was here from out of town and plan to go again. read more

We just ordered 2 meals Chef Cao using Flavor for delivery. Both meals had a "fishy" taste. It would seem they are mixing products

Great Chinese! Definitely what you are looking for if you don't want Panda. Traditional dishes and a lot to pick from. I like things spicy and they can make it hot. You will not be disappointed. NOTE: The last time I went here (4/1) they were still only doing take out due to Covid. read more

Food is really good. One of my favorite is the Peking Duck but the menu offers several options. read more

Chef Cao's - Chinese Near Me - College Station, Texas

I've ate here for about half a year and I never really had any big problems outside of small wrong food orders and things of that nature. But recently they drew the last straw when I found a roach in my food. Thankfully the fact that my order had been messed up many times before I checked my food prior to leaving the parking lot. Not much else to say. Just something to consider before eating here. read more

Chef Cao's - Roach found in General Tsos chicken with brown rice that I ordered. - Chinese Near Me - College Station, Texas

Wouldn't go back after I went to pick my food and was rudely rushed by an employee all because I was picking my food up and apparently was supposed to have gloves on beforehand. I understand there's a virus going around but wow they should really handle this better if they're gonna keep the restaurant open. I'm not satisfied with how I was treated don't think I'll be back anytime soon. If I could do no stars I would. read more

Excellent food! It's a pleasure to eat such freshly prepared food. No frozen egg rolls at this place. Worth the trip for just those! I'll remember this place when I'm back in town. read more

After trying other Chinese places in town, Chef Cao is definitely the best. Their prices are reasonable and no weird tasting additives. I like their Singapore fried noodles, wide noodles with beef and steamed spicy fish (with hot sauce on the side). read more

So glad we came here! John (our waiter) absolutely went above and beyond in taking care of us. The food was also excellent (try the curry with tofu!). Super friendly place--we will definitely be back! read more

My experience? Simply awful! Maybe they had a bad day but for me it was the worst Chinese I've ever had...honestly. Firstly if took a full hour to arrive. My soda was a fountain drink which was flat. My egg rolls were cold. No napkins. The mushroom chicken was very odd looking...as if was frozen then heated up. I was really looking forward to my Kung Pao beef & shrimp but they sent the wrong then. Instead I got tofu and I absolutely cannot stand the texture. But after spending $17 I am stuck with it. I just know that I will neeeeever eat there again. read more

Chef Cao's - You can see how utterly bland this it as if it were an off brand microwave dinner. Terrible food! - Chinese Near Me - College Station, Texas

Love it my go to I recommend the honey glazed walnut chicken the only thing I wish they change it putting less oyster sauce on the lomein

Always come here and food is good, they give you a lot in one order. Disappointed that the sweet & sour sauce looked and tasted like water tonight.. read more

I had lunch there today and the food was great. Service was awesome too. Will be going back.

Pretty good first time experience. Service was fast, precise and courteous. The food was very good. Im curious to try the noodles next time. Lunch specials were cheap and come with hefty portions! Give it a shot if you havnt tried this place yet. read more

I had lunch here last week. Great pork dumplings and General's Chicken! I've also had their Special Won Tom Soup, Pepper Steak, Kung Paso Shrimp, and several other dishes - all were great. The only disappointment was that they did make Egg Foo Yung, but I got over it! read more

Probably the best Chinese delivery in college station, which isn't saying much. While the food is maybe one star better, the prices are higher than others, and the wait time is longer. read more

Ok so I tried the delivery, which is decent, I had a messed up order, in which they have me red curry instead of green , and they eventually brung me the right order after I called. The manager was nice and apologized so that's a plus. I gave them one less star this time because I ordered to different rice dishes but they gave me two of the same rice dish. : / It wasn't worth a call. read more
