this is the best Chinese food I think I've ever had. friendly, fast, and outstanding portions. I get the sesame chicken and make 4-5 meals out of it. The best Chinese food I've ever eaten. read more

I usually order take out for pick up. The portion size are fair. The price is little to much for one. I could order four entrees and it could be quickly over $40. Cockroaches are here, I've seen them running around before while I waited in line. If I really craved Chinese I come here. read more

Below average Chinese takeout, unfortunately. I got a sweet and sour chicken and a beef and broccoli to go. You can't get plain brown rice with the lunch special, so I asked for white rice. For $20 at a Chinese place, I'd think you could get brown, but whatever. The food just wasn't great. It tasted like they forgot any and all spices. My chicken was just plain chicken with a premade sauce to dip it in. It was pure sugar, and pretty bad compared to other sweet and sour sauce as I've had, even pre-made ones. The place itself feels and looks dirty. It seems like it's more for people who work next door and have no other choice. Otherwise, not worth it. read more

Food was super good and the wait was understandable because of how many people were ahead of us, the main reason for the review besides the food being good was the girls (red hair) customer service upfront was exceptional and she took great care of us even though most people don't dine in. I'm sorry I didn't get your name but you made my mom happy and she gave you a hug. read more

Love China Chef esp for lunch. They have an extensive lunch menu that gives you a huge portion. I normally get the Shrimp Lo Mein with White Rice. Always ask whoever is on the register for duck sauce & chop sticks. It's almost as good as back home in New York. And the size and amount of shrimp that you get is pretty good too. 12 shrimp in every order! Most places I've gone don't give you that for this low of a price. This is definitely a gem and I'm glad that it's so close to home. read more

See all

My wife and I go here not only for the satisfaction of a great meal. But the friendliness of the staff. It's close to home. The phone ordering time is always quick and food is normally ready when I arrive for my pickup order. One meal can easily be turn into two! Highly recommend this place! read more

We've been eating their food for almost six years. Very, very fresh, tasty, and the portions are huge. The choices are great as are the lunch deals. I wish they were open on Mondays but, I get it. These guys need a break. If I have to move I'll really really miss this place! read more

Stopped by here for their lunch special. Ordered chicken chow mein with fried rice. The chow mein was delicious, the chicken was okay and the pork fried rice wasn't too great and it had a very different flavor. The place also doesn't look like it's the cleanest either. read more

1 hour for a pick up order. This is the 3rd time we rated for over 45 minutes out of 3 visits. Food was quite bland, although portions are large. The place doesn't appear to be very clean. So, we will skip this place from now on. There has to be good Chinese food somewhere in San Tan Valley! read more

Awesome food. Great portions. Reasonably priced. Not super fast on service, but worth the wait.

Best Chinese food spot out here in San Tan Valley, they give you decent sized portions for the price. I love their crab rangoons, lo mein noodles and general tso chicken. read more

Wonderful little place that serves high-quality Asian food with great quantities. Everything I've had here is great. My go to is the hot and sour soup which is really superb here. read more

This used to be great chinese takeout. It's not consistent any longer.We got dinner there last Friday, and it was so bad we had to throw the entire meal away. The flavoring was way off and over abundant. Some had no flavor food, which was undercooked and / or ovecooked. The wonton soup tasted like dishwater. Horrible!! Giving at one star because I have to in order to post the review. read more

It's hard to find good Chinese takeout. This is the spot. If you live in STV I would highly recommend it. My work buddy picks this up for us. Better than anything I've found in the Mesa Gilbert area read more

Excellent food! Top notch and plenty of it. Best in Queen Creek. We've tried other places and they just do not compare.

Food is good enough and portions are generous for the price. Two people can easily share, especially if you get a soup and a couple of extra egg rolls. read more

Tried China Chef for the first time today. First thing we noticed was the amount of people waiting for food. We were told 30-45 minutes to pick up our order. Eden up waiting an hour and a half and that seemed to be the norm for other people around us. After all the waiting we got home and the food was Fantastic. So we couldn't be too upset. I think it would be better if they just gave realistic wait times for the food. Basically it's worth the wait as long as you aren't stuck waiting in the restaurant. read more

Simple and tasty Chinese food, Staff is always friendly and busy. It is a small little location with some dine in seating . either call in or expect 15-20 min wait as it is cook to order. You can walk in order then go grocery shopping really quick and grab your grub on your way home! read more

Bland food, terrible history of poor ratings for food storage health code violations.

Fresh and good food, except for the lunch price. They advertise one thing and then it's not the same price. Be consistent.

Really good Chinese food at a reasonable price. Awesome flavor for the Kung Pao chicken and Cashew chicken, and the dumplings aren't bad. You can also fed an army on the portions they give you, so this place is a total win. read more

My husband and I have eaten at this place since they were not popular at all. We're glad they're well known in the area now but it's also meant we have to wait for our food longer as they're always busy. Oh well! Our absolute favorite is Singapore noodles! I also love their egg foo young. Their chow mien is a bit mushy to my liking but we keep coming back for our favorite dish. read more

Just tried their Mongolian Beef lunch special substituting steamed rice. I usually find dishes noted as 'spicy' are bland and allows order 'extra spicy'. But I saw a previous reviewer say it was plenty spicy as is so I just ordered it as is. While I probably could have dealt with it more spicy, it was plenty good the way it was. I've tried a couple of other Chinese takeout places in the general area and based off of just this one dish, this is by far the best so far. I'll be trying a few other dishes and hope they are as good. read more

The food is outstanding but the ladies up front are rude and very inappropriate. Always on their personal phones and giggling in front of customers. They are literally awful. read more

Excellent New York style food. Big portions and great taste. Dumplings and Orange Chicken, (you can order mild, medium, etc) are especially good read more

I agree 100% percent with the reviews saying the food tasted old or refried. Everything I ordered absolutely did. I ordered an order of shrimp egg rolls and General Tso chicken with vegetable fried rice. That fried rice was a substitute and charged accordingly. The General Tso combo comes with pork fried rice and a spring roll. I also ordered Shrimp fried rice with extra shrimp. The extra shrimp are priced per dollar. She asked if I wanted $1, $2 or $3 worth of extra shrimp. I went with $2 worth and it was a good serving size. Both the General Tso chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice came out piping hot. Too hot to immediately eat but once it cooled a bit and a tried one bite, I immediately knew it was a re-fried dish. The sauce on it was pretty good, taste more like Orange chicken to me instead of General Tso. Some of the chicken pieces were too hard to chew and eat on so I threw away half my dish. My shrimp fried rice taste "fresher" than the chicken because well ... it's fried rice. I will say, I stopped it about 40 minutes before closing time so maybe they just didn't want to make fresh food. I'm not huge on Chinese cuisine but I do appreciate a nice order of General Tso chicken on a Friday night while netflixing. I would try China Chef again but next time I'll stick with Shrimp Fried Rice or Shrimp and Broccoli. Remember to request your Shrimp Rolls or Spring rolls fresh. read more

Great Chinese food, generous portions, would recommend! I will definitely be back! Many different menu options, friendly staff. Clean and organized read more

Great Chinese food just like in NY, it is a take out Business some setting for eat in but usually it's take out

I'll give it one star for being close to home the rest of it is terrible. The quality is very bad. I wouldn't recommend it save your money.

Honestly some of the best food. Can be busy, it can take up to 20 minutes but never not satisfied with going here!

Ehh it was okay, the sweet and sour pork was a little to much breaded. The fried rice was yucky. But what do you expect out here in San tan. Haven't found a good Chinese food place yet. I wouldn't go back. I'll drive to Mesa better. read more

if I could rate zero starts I would. For the amount of time waiting in line and then for the food to taste like wet cardboard myself, friends, and family will not be returning. read more

Always great! Best Chinese food around. Wait time can be lengthy so order ahead of time. read more

Best Chinese take out in San Tan Valley. I highly recommend this place. I always get the Kung Pao Chicken Delicious !

We absolutely love China Chef. The egg drop wonton soup is amazing. We love the mushroom chicken, broccoli beef, orange chicken, and the crab Rangoon's are yummy. We moved away for 2 yrs and all my son talked about was I can't wait to eat China Chef. read more

Quick and easy Chinese/American .. call in or order online . Portions are HUGE and eat 1 meal twice. Staff is super busy but always very friendly! Love this place when you aren't sure what to cook at home read more

Traditional American Chinese dishes that take me back to college days when three of us would split a single meal with egg rolls and fried rice. Very generous portions. read more

The food was very bland. Not tasteful at all!! Not sure if there was an issue with the language barrier but I paid $15 EXTRA for food that I didn't want... I called to place an order and asked if they have cream cheese Rangoon's and they said crab, I said no I don't want any crab, just cheese and they said ok.... you can guess what I got. Asked if the orange chicken was spicy and they said yes I said "OKAY I DONT WANT THAT, I WILL DO THE SWEET AND SOUR INSTEAD" VERY VERY CLEAR. Guess what I got... BOTH! So irritated. Never going back. Hate this place. $50 later and I'm still so hungry. We literally threw ALL the food away. Fml Waste of money, I don't see how this place has any good reviews. I hope the company looks at them and fixes these issues, otherwise, what's the point in staying open? read more

Called for take out they told me they would call when the order was ready. After an hour and a half with no call I went over and was told my order wouldn't be ready for another hour and a half. Three hours for take out Chinese sorry but no. Will not use them again bad customer service. read more

For Chinese cuisine...China Chef is a go to...food, beverages, menu, service, location, and more...there is not a meal on the menu that is "bad"....and, yes, they follow COVID-19 protocols... read more
