    Single plates: Orange Chicken & Fried Rice Broccoli Beef & Fried Rice
    Juliana W.

    Wanted to update the menu picture! This place is delicious, we've been coming here for years.

    Mongolian Beef?
    Rudy D.

    Been craving Chinese food all day and looked forward to going to our favorite place in Clovis. To our surprise, ownership had changed. Apparently they had taken over the business 3 weeks ago. They didn't have dine in menus and provided us menus from previous owners and said the pricing has increased. Ordered what we were used to: Orange Chicken and Mongolian Beef. Disappointed in both. Orange Chicken had a good flavor, but the breading was too much as was the cornstarch. The beef now has bell peppers. Tons of veggies and little beef. Will likely not return.

    The Best Chinese food in the world!!!!
    Jerry R.

    China Chefs new menu and ownership is an outstanding upgrade from the previous one! Courteous service, professional chef and fresh ingredients brought together with great execution and guaranteed to please even the most refined palates!

    Dry, sautéed green beans
    Lyn G.

    Ordered the dry sautéed green beans. They now give you 1/3 the amount as the old owners for $13.99. Not worth it. Needless to say we will no longer be a customer. I'm not willing to pay more for so much less.

    Walnut shrimp is very special, so delicious, wow.

    They have launched a new Japanese chicken, which is really delicious.Environmental service [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment is much cleaner than before.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have been here many times.

    Grabbed some take out this past weekend and was taken back by how kind and generous everyone treated me. The man taking my order over the phone asked how spicy I would like my plates and the food was ready when he said it would be. After I paid for my food I asked how much it would be for a can of coke and he said " it's ok, we got it" and then asked how many I wanted. Thank you for the free can of coke and the delicious food.

    33. Chicken Chow Mein
    Eva J.

    I heard they have changed the new owner,so I come back to order the chicken chow mein , the taste is much better than before , and [[HIGHLIGHT]]inside is very clean & bright[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the manager is super nice, definitely recommend it again!

    93. Hunan Shrimp
    Sandy N.

    We ordered beef chow fun, kung pao chicken, orange chicken, vegetable delight and hunan shrimp. Loved them all except for the shrimp dish which was over powered by the heavy sauce and shrimp were few and far between, way more veggies than shrimp. They were very generous with all dishes so had a nice portion for four of us plus lots of leftovers. The hostess was very friendly and welcoming. Will be back for more. Our new favorite in Clovis.

    Chow mein, Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken

    I have been coming here for years, but it's under new ownership now. When ordering they said they don't do half orders anymore. I paid over 60$ for this and egg rolls. Nothing tastes the same, orange chicken was hard and dry, egg rolls tasted like panda. I'll have to look for a new place.

    7/8/23 Getting lunch! Spicy Vegetable Tofu with Chicken added Chow Fun ordered. Made spicy at a "5" level too! The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 10 min. I went in to get it. The restaurant is take out only. Still, safe and clean. Greeted by kind worker and the order was ready and waiting. Paid for the order and left. Lunchtime! You get a lot! Definitely get your money's worth! My portion was really delicious! They gave a really great amount of tofu and chicken. A great amount of spice and even more delicious with the thick noodles! Mother said her half portion was great! She said it had a lot of meat and the noodles were really great too! Lots of leftovers as well! Good service and Great Chow Fun! Highly recommended!

    Ask the Community - China Chef

    Are the vegan/vegetarian plates made of tofu, or is it another meat substitute?

    They offer both-just ask

    How much for delivery?

    I am not sure if they charge but i think they have minimum order requirement Possibly call them

I opted for rice instead of fries to balance all the fried food. The rice was a great choice but I did not expect the serving to be so massive. It was three of each item along with the coleslaw. The container wouldn't even close and it was given in a massive paper bag just to accommodate the weight. Huge serving and very satisfying. My favorite was surprisingly the fish, then shrimp, then oysters. I did not even come close to finishing all the fried deliciousness. I'll definitely be back to try something else and probably bring a friend to split the food with.

And you get HUUUUGE portions of everything. Truly blown away by the portions. If you want A LOT of food, you'll get it here. Great value! ORDER: Wanted chowder & crab but they had neither. Calamari: Decent! I like the onions. Triple Play (6 pieces of fish, fries & coleslaw): HUUUGE pieces of fish that were nicely moist. Tempura Veggies: Not tempura batter. Same batter as fish. Wouldn't order again. Head-On Shrimp: Fried too long so they were hard. Wish they'd been not so hard. Overall, I'm sure many will like this place, but my problem is the batter is too thick & not at all seasoned. This is somewhere between American & Chinese, but doesn't truly lean into either. Lemon or some acidic slaw are essential to cut thru the fried. Ketchup & hot sauce would help. Tartar sauce wasn't great. Having some non-battered/fried options would be really great. Still, I might try them again. Hope they reach their target audience.

They had a huge bar, lounge area, and an open kitchen with a lot of staff members working. Both inside and outside was nice with dim lighting. Very modern interior design with their tables, chairs, house plants, and neon signs. The service was top notch. The person came by to serve us water noticed our table was pretty wobbly so he fixed it instantly. I thought that was great for them to notice the small details. They always came by to fill our waters 4-5 times. They also remembered we were celebrating an anniversary so they offered us complementary champagne. Our waitress Celeste was very excellent. She gave suggested me dishes that I couldn't decide. We ended up getting the chicken taquitos ($17), the pork chop ($36) and the prime sirloin ($36). Food was delicious and everything tasted so good. I like the roasted Brussels spouts flakes on the pork chop and even though the sirloin was medium it was still very tender. Even the one time our water cups were empty she noticed and apologized and came back to refill them. The chicken taquitos were very good as well. Bathroom is a little small with only three stalls and one sink but the staff was nice enough to direct me to them cuz they saw I was looking around. Overall is a very good experience. I can see why they're very busy and I hope to come back to try their other dishes!
