There aren't any complaints as it's an easy to find place too and is worth a try. The food was delicious and the prices are pretty reasonable.

There are plenty of other good asian food places to check out in Arizona. But this is one of the better ones for sure with its food and pricing. The waitress at this restaurant is also extremely friendly and nice. She is really helpful with deciding what to eat on the menu as well as making the experience more fun at this restaurant. There are also TVs with some good stuff on like cooking channels. And there is a bar too for those who may want to drink but I do not. And the sanitary of this place is also very good as well. In the end, it is a solid restaurant to go to and worth getting lunch at.

I planned to place my order online and did not see the garlic chicken, just garlic shrimp. I was super disappointed. My daughter told me to just order whatever and I knew she had never had moo shu chicken and this is a dish I love so I decided to go with that. Needless to say, this restaurants moo shu chicken was not like any other moo shu I have ever had. I mean the crepe and plum sauce was the same but the chicken and veggies were different and not in a good way. The flavor was mild and the plum sauce that was spread on the crepe saved this dish. What was disappointing was they gave us one small condiment cup of plum sauce and it wasn't even filled to the top. It was enough for two crepes and we had 6 crepes and chicken and veggies to fill all the crepes. If the plum sauce was what saved this dish imagine my disappointment in not having enough plum sauce for the remaining crepes. They definitely need to give a larger portion of plum sauce. I have turned my daughter on to egg drop soup and she loves it from our usual Chinese restaurant so she wanted to try it here. This egg drop had corn and tofu (we think, but not sure) in it. It was very bland. She had to add soy sauce to it to spruce up the flavor. We always order wonton chips for egg drop soup and did this time too. Their wonton chips were bland as well. Lastly, we ordered crab puffs and the same wonton shells were used for the crab puffs. Just another item that was bland. If I could get the garlic chicken I would try this place again but since I can't I don't foresee us ordering from here again. We will drive a few miles down the street to get our favorite place.

He was going to save some to take home but ended up finishing it off before we left. He couldn't get enough. I had the orange chicken and I have to say, I have never had orange chicken as delicious as this one. It was thin chicken pieces with the perfect crispness from being fried and the sauce wasn't super sticky and gooey, it was excellent and my mouth has been watering just thinking about going back for this dish. My son had the teriyaki chicken kid combo and he loved it. The combos are a great value, coming with a soup starter, an appetizer with 2 crab puffs and a spring roll, then the entree has 2 sides, lo mein and fried rice. The service was great and you could tell from those who walked in that this was a place they frequented, knowing some of the employees well and having nice conversations with them.

I ordered food on New Years Eve. We ordered TSO CHICKEN, SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN, CRAB RAGOON & ORANGE CHICKEN. The TSO CHICKEN AND ORANGE CHICKEN was chewy, tasteless, stringy and sooo disappointing because we wasted money and could not eat more than the first bite. I tried very hard to eat parts of the meat, but it was not working. I decided to go here based on previous reviews and have no idea what you all tasted or who cooked your food. However, I ordered from them on a very off beat day. The food was horrible, although the egg rolls and crab ragoon were ok. The sweet and sour sauce was like jello, even after reheating. The rice was hard and I will never order there again. So disappointed and a terrible waste of our money. :( read more

Normally I love China Chef!!! It's the best Chinese food in the area but my order tonight was not something to praise. I'm very disappointed with my meal. I typically would not give them a 3/5 star review but it just wasn't good tonight. The service was great and it was ready when they said it would be I noticed they have a lunch menu posted from 10:30-3:00 (I believe) and that is always a great deal! The portions are large enough to have leftovers and eat the next day!!! read more

Decided to give this place a try after not coming in for years. They've got a table when you first walk in the restaurant that takes up quite a bit of space and has stuff all over the top and the sides and just looks dirty. That is where you will order your food. They've got people eating off of paper plates as dine in customers which I find to be extremely tacky and low budget. After paying a higher price than most of the other places around for food, I ended up throwing out most of the food. Hardly any flavor to the Kung pow chicken, overcooked noodles in the lo mein, just not my style. Once again, I'm one person with one opinion, but I most definitely will not be coming back.

I ordered the Mongolian beef and crab Rangoon, And when I got home, I found everything to be extremely satisfying. The Mongolian beef was done really well, and I asked for extra green onions because sometimes restaurants go a little light on that element. But they did not disappoint at all! The crab Rangoons were also really good, with plump filling, and a perfect fry. Price was really affordable, and the location is right at a popular intersection where I do a lot of shopping, so this is definitely a place. I will be checking out in the future.
