It had a generous amount of the garlicky fixings and the flavors tasted really emulsified with wings, it wasn't just dumped on some bland fried wings and there were enough to go with a whole bowl of rice if I had some. All the wings were really crispy but the meat wasn't dry, I always compared to Royal Mandarin and I would definitely get my salt and pepper wings from here now instead. I completely demolished these wings but one minor complaint would be I wish I got to tried some flats because I got all drumsticks.

As usual, i stumbled upon a Tiktok video of a young gentleman who got the crispy beef and salt & pepper shrimp! OMG... I just had to try the shrimp. They didn't have shells so I thought, perfect. Even better. I can pop them in my mouth easily lol. We arrived close to noon on a Saturday. Appeared busy with to go orders being prepped and customers eating but the workers were attentive any way with seating us. There is even outdoor seating, perfect if you want to bring your furbaby. We also were given a small bowl of wonton chips on the house to start. That was nice :) Service was definitely 5/5 for me. The young worker with the glasses was very nice and was quick with everything. I loved that she had the customer's best interest. Without her, we wouldn't have known that we can do the lunch special (I assumed because it was a Saturday, that we couldn't), or that an item not listed on the lunch special menu was included, or that we can sub an additional eggroll for the soup. As if her customer service wasn't already top tier, the girl is fluent in Spanish! We were shocked, but honestly, great to know for those who only speak Spanish, she's got you :) I also wanted to mention that there was somebody's kid hanging out but I thought it was the sweetest thing how he would grab candy from the front and gave them to customers when they were seated. The menu is big! Lots to choose from. We just ordered off their lunch special menu. I actually do not know the time frame for the lunch menu but we came on a Saturday. It was nice that they offered their lunch menu on the weekend. Currently, their lunch special is priced at $14.95. Comes with your choice of Egg Flower Soup or Hot & Sour Soup, Steamed rice or Fried Rice, and an egg roll. However, if you do not want soup, ask for an extra egg roll :) We tried both soups, both were good. Even topped off the soups with the wonton chips they give you. Anyways our order was: Orange Chicken, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, and Crispy Beef for the lunch special. Crispy Beef was NOT listed on the lunch special menu however, since I was just going to order an entree of it, the nice waitress asked if we would like it as a the lunch special. Yes, since you cannot beat the price for the amount of food you get. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! I will say, though the S&P shrimp is delicious, it leans more on the saltier side. But, your girl will order this over and over as long as I have a good amount of water. I love the flavor regardless, and it is crispy. The crispy beef was crispy and delicious too; great flavor on it. The orange chicken, was exactly how it should be. Order it if that is your go to Chinese food order. Eggrolls were just veggie rolls but honestly, not bad. Perfect veggie rolls actually. I would order these items again. Bottom line, this is now my favorite Chinese restaurant. Lunch Special is the way to go, amazing price. Amazing food. I will be back and I want to try more items off the menu!

We ordered the 'That's My Boy' and 'Meet Meat' pizza plus their fries. Their deep dishes were light and crispy. I loved the sweet sauce, jalapeño and ricotta cheese combo on That's My Boy pizza. The Mastiff Fries had a wonderful crispy texture. They are like thinly sliced potato wedges. (Our order is without cilantro which normally comes with it) The staff was super friendly and the restaurant was clean. They did have two tv screens playing the sports channel and had a variety of draft beer options.

Crispy Brussels sprouts $10 - these are deep fried in oil so there was a pool of oil underneath them. Maybe could have sat a bit to drain better. They were nicely crispy and tasted great. Classic breakfast burrito $11 - their burritos are insanely huge. I have never seen a bigger burrito. I couldn't even finish half. Super hot and fresh. Hungry man breakfast burrito $13 - this one had all the meats. Again, it was ginormous and friend could only finish half. You could definitely share a single burrito between two people.

There's no indoor seating, but the spot is handicap accessible and easy to find. The parking structure is a good size, so you won't have to worry about finding a spot. Perfect for takeout. I ordered the salt and pepper wings, and these wings were fire! Super crispy with the right amount of garlic and onion - they nailed it. Definitely going back for those and highly recommend if you're a wing lover. The white rice was just okay for me - I wish it had been a little fresher and fluffier, more like the classic steamed rice I was expecting. Adding some soy sauce and chili oil helped a bit though! But honestly, the wings made up for it. Also, cash only, so be prepared before you go! I did spot a flyer showing they take Venmo too, but I didn't ask - good to know! The prices are good, and it helps that they keep everything affordable. Overall, Chef China is a solid hidden gem for quick Chinese takeout - fast service, crispy wings, and good flavors that hit the spot. Can't wait to try the rest of their menu next time!

I get it that you have orders to take but a quick nod is all that is needed to show that you recognize a customer's presence. Then when you finally said something after I decided to just shop at the market, you were disrespectful. You asked if I wanted anything after probably five minutes of acting like I wasn't there. I told you yes but told you I felt ignoring patrons was rude. You shucked it off. That's not how you treat customers. I will it give this Captain Sam's my service.
