Elite Buffet has an assortment of fountain drinks, Agua de Jamaica or hermica drink, horchata, tea, and coffee. They had three types of soup seafood, eggdrop, and hot & sour.

Don't forget the pudding, fruits, jello, and soft serve ice-cream. The service at Elite Buffet was great, they have people cleaning up tables, and picking up empty plates at random. Great job Elite Buffet

It's the best Chinese food around. Everything is delish. I highly recommend Chef China.read more

Their salt and pepper chicken wings are absolutely killer. The rest of their menu is good, but I'm…read moregoing here for those wings and those wings only. That's the good part. The bad part is how long it takes to make the food. I've been told, on multiple occasions, it would be 25-30 minutes and it's been upwards of 40. I don't mind if you tell me it's going to be 40 minutes, but just say that upfront. That being said, these wings are killer and any time I've got a craving this is where I'm going.

The two stars are for the fast service and the friendly lady working the cash register. The food was bland, just covered in starch, no seasoning on the chicken, flavorless lumpia, and dry and inedible stir fry noodles. We had to add a ton of soy sauce and hot sauce to the food to make it edible. I prefer my food lightly seasoned but there was zero flavor. They forgot our rice so I had to go back and ask for it. So not worth the $55 we paid and likely will not be coming back...

China Chef 1 is in a quiet strip mall.  I like how there is a good amount of free parking…read more Bbq pork chow mein had tender bbq pork with delicious 5 spice powder based flavor.  I loved the mild flavored noodles and the smoky wok flavor.  Sadly this dish was too salty from the heavy handed use of soy sauce.  Wish they had used less soy sauce and given you packets to add soy sauce.  I would try this dish again if I could get it made with half the usual amount of soy sauce. 2nd visit I tried the wor won ton soup and fried chicken wings. Wor won ton soup had tender beef, chicken, and shrimp along with carrots, broccoli, and napa cabbage.  Veggies were fresh and crisp. The meats were all tender and had nice mild flavors.  Won tons had a pork center marinated with just the right amount of seasoning.  Very good dish. Loved the crunchy batter and seasoning on the fried chicken wings.  Chicken was tender and moist.  Great tasting dish. Staff was nice and efficient.  China Chef 1 is new and nicely decorated.  So far the fried chicken wings are my fav dish here.

The last time I visited this address in the Rolando neighborhood, the format was cafeteria style…read moreAmericanized Chinese cuisine. I'm uncertain if the ownership has changed, but the current business name is China Chef 1. All of the items were cooked to order so there's no more bulk food production and having it sit under heat lamps. There were still around ten tables in the dining area, however the chairs had been upgraded to look nicer. The two-sided menu was now bilingual (English/Spanish) so I suspected that this place draws a significant number of Hispanic customers. Lunch specials were offered from 11 am to 3 pm. About a dozen selections were available that each came with a side of soup and rice. Appetizers and drinks were also listed on that page of the menu. The other page displayed the rest of the food offerings from the categories of chow mein, fried rice, beef, chicken, seafood, vegetables, and soup. All of the choices could be purchased as a party size. For my to-go order, I picked the Shrimp and Noodles from the Chow Mein section. The food came in a plastic takeout container with a solid number of good-sized shrimp. Since the noodles were thick and chewy, the stir fry was really lo mein as opposed to chow mein which uses thinner diameter noodles. The item was not overly salty, and I couldn't detect much MSG, if any was even applied. I gave a 3.5 star rating for my visit to China Chef 1.

So I ordered through GrubHub and I still think everything was delicious! They have a combination of Chinese foods and Japanese sushis. I ordered an Adam and Eve Roll which was good. The 2 main stars of the show were the scallop roll and the salt and pepper chicken wings! Okay where do I even start?! The scallop roll came from the basic rolls so I was expecting it to be pretty basic. No one told me they were going to put raw scallops omg it was sooo good and soft! Melted like butter in my mouth. Then the salt and pepper chicken wings might be up there on top wings in SD because not only do they load that thing with garlic but they also dice up tiny red bell peppers and omg what a game changer!

I came in person recently with 9 friends. They were able to accommodate us even though we were just…read morewalking in. The woman was super friendly even though it was a little chaotic. At first, she said the order only could be done on 1 bill. And then later she compromised with 2 bills, 5 people per table. That was nice of her! I just had 2 coffees before entering so I decided to skip ordering Thai tea. But they had a large drink menu, of fruit teas and more. My friend had the lychee tea which was very large and looked super refreshing! They also came by often to top off our waters which was nice. To eat, I ordered the $16.99~, Cashew Chicken Stir Fry with White Rice. It came with onion, green onion, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and cashews. The carrots were beautifully cut, but a little too crunchy for me to properly enjoy in the stir fry. Everything else was delicious! I think this could definitely be shared between 2-3 people. It was a lot for me, even after a large hike. The sauce was flavorful and not overly salty. I didn't ask for any spice level, but I think I'd choose mild or medium next time. My friends ordered-- - $12.99, Dirty Fried Chicken: This had a blitz coating of lime, mint, and spices. And it was decorated with thinly sliced green onions with a side of sweet chili sauce. The chicken was hot and plump, not dry, and very much mouthwatering! Would recommend. - $14.99, Thai Grilled Chicken Salad: Grilled Chicken Breast on a bed of mixed green salad, carrots, and cucumbers with peanut dressing. It reminded me a little of chicken satay~ it smelled and looked incredible. I think I might order it next time, when I want something light and fulfilling after a hike. - $11.99, Cream Cheese Avocado Wontons (6PC): These came out piping hot and when you took a bite they were oozing. It was very creamy and when you dip into the plum sauce it's a delectable bite. A nice appetizer to share with the table. - $16.99-$19.99 (depends on what protein you get), Pad Thai: This proportion was manageable for one person. The restaurant used thin rice noodles, but it didn't clump excessively compared to other restaurants. The prices are what you'd typically see at a Pan-Asian restaurant, a few dollars more than what you'd want to spend. But these kinds of restaurants, in my opinion, are for enjoying with others. So, if you're sharing food and all that-- the price is worth it (esp with the quantity that is given). Next time, I would probably order one of their noodle dishes rather than rice. Oodles by the Noodbar has such a large and diverse menu so I would highly recommend coming in to try them out.

The restaurant's interior is clean and aesthetic, but very lively and popular. I ordered the mi goreng, which was extremely good and the spice levels don't play.
