Definitely a good option when it come to Chinese food. I wouldn't say it's the best, however I might just be spoiled to the options in my hometown. It does however satisfy my cravings and the portions are huge. #leftovers Absolutely will be coming back to this location. read more

Gold Chef - I order teriyaki chicken and subbed white rice for chicken fried rice. And a side of lo mein noodles ($4). Cost was around $15 - Chinese Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

This place is your typical mom and pop chinese restaurant. Food is not top notch, but it is above average. I have eaten here many times and would recommend going here. read more

Just your typical mom and pop Chinese restaurant with pretty good food and great service

We eat there about twice a month. Food is always hot and delicious! Owners are friendly and call us by name. Place is clean and service is excellent. we get thin noodles wtih pork shrimp chicken, etc. and egg rolls and beef on a stick. I always order mine extra spicy and its TO DIE FOR. always excellent taste! this place is the NICKELBACK of Chinese restaraunts:) read more

We've ordered here before.... This time it took an hour and a half. They are a block away. When I called the woman said 'Your food has already gone a long time ago' or something to that extent, and said there was nothing she could do about it. She also said when I called 30m earlier that the food was on its way. Ordered at about 6:40, it is 8:06 now. My girlfriend is a teacher and needs to be in bed soon and we haven't eaten. To any readers...calling doesn't seem to help either. read more

Really, this should be 2.5 stars. Right before I ate the food I was going to give this business 1 star....here's my story. I have been craving Chinese food and since I have an hour for lunch (I work right down the street) I figured I'd use my handy dandy Yelp app to find a good Chinese place. Well, this place popped up and the reviews seemed good, so I figured I'd give it a whirl. When I walked in, I was greeted by a lady that said, "How can I help you?" I responded with, "Well, I'd like to place an order..." In looking at the lunch menu, it didn't seem like there were many options for vegetarians except tofu w/ mixed vegetables and tofu w/ broccoli. BORING! So I asked, "Is there a way to have Szechuan tofu instead of beef?" She replied, "No." I was like, "You can't substitute tofu for beef?" "No." Kind of annoyed, I said, "Ok, I'll have tofu w/ mixed vegetables." Then I noticed that the lunch special comes with pork fried rice so I asked if I could have veggie fried rice w/o the egg. She told me that it would be extra. Extra?!?!?! You're going to charge me to take OUT things? That's dumb. So I told her that I just wanted the tofu with vegetables....not the lunch special. She then said, "Well, we have tofu with eggplant in a garlic sauce....a lot of vegetarians order that. So I said that it would be fine. I was quoted a 10 min. timeframe. I asked if I could eat there and she said that it would be fine. I went and sat in a booth, which was broken. I leaned back on the back rest and it pushed against the person behind me. That's kind of annoying. The waitress then brought me some water with lemon, which wasn't filtered water...it was just normal Chandler city tap water which tasted awful. Good thing I got lemon to kill the awful taste. My food then came out 15 minutes later (I timed it). I must say that the portion was plentiful and it was delicious! I was going to give this a 1 star review but since the food was really good I bumped it up a few. I'll give this place another try and see if they're still going to charge me extra to take things out of their fried rice. I honestly think the woman working was new and wasn't familiar with things.....we'll see. read more

1st let me say, that almost every time I've ordered Chinese delivery / take out, I'm frustrated by the service / courtesy I get on the other end of the phone. Not this time. The lady who answered was very sweet and helpful. The food was fresh, I highly recommend the beef on a stick & the Mongolian beef w/ fried rice. The crab puffs were also tasty and the delivery was prompt as well. It's not Benihana, but it was the best delivered Chinese food we've had since moving here, so give them a shot! read more

First time here and the food was great! My husband had the lunch special was such a good portion. I had the chicken salad and it was the best salad I have had. Service was not bad. Overall we would come back with our family. read more

I will never ever eat from here again. The quality seems to have declined and the service is definitely below par from my previous experience. It wasn't the first time, but will definitely be my last time eating food from Gold Chef. The prior experiences were fine and the food was good (not great), but in this last experience, it was a deal breaker. I ordered delivery the vegetarian selection, eggplant and tofu with garlic sauce (something I've gotten before on more than one occasion). When I received my food from delivery I received Chicken with eggplant in garlic sauce. Also, when I opened the container, I saw a large piece of chicken that had blue coloring on it. I couldn't believe it! I thought that was incredibly weird, and either way I wasn't going to eat it. I thought it was a mistake so I called back to correct the error again asking for the Tofu and eggplant in garlic sauce. They were very apologetic regarding the mistake and said they would deliver my order. When I got the food the delivery man said, "the tofu is in a separate container and you just need to mix it with the other container." I thought that was weird of him to say but honestly didn't think anything of it. When I opened the bag, I found the tofu in a separate container, deep fried and the other container had chicken and eggplant in garlic sauce. It seemed as if they did not even make an effort to make the meal with the tofu and just sent me the same thing I previously got which i thought was a mistake but just flat out seems lazy. I called them again to let them know of their mistake again, but I never got an answer back. It just rang until an automated voice said to enter some code. I did used to enjoy eating from here, but after this experience and 'red flags' from the blue colored chicken I think I'll pass. read more

I used to come to this place often (I was there the day they opened ), but with Beijing only about 3 miles away, and closer to my house, it has probably been a couple of years or so since my last visit...I can only imagine the steady decline this place has taken since my last visit. The lady I remember was always very kind and accommodating...the lady I had today was rude and acted like my very presence was an inconvenience to her. I'm not sure if it was a different lady or if serving mediocre food over the last few years has started to catch up to her. My first issue was with my son's Sprite...we ordered it, she brought it out and it was flat. Yes, it happens. No big deal...so when I asked her for something else, she tells me that their soda machine isn't working. My first thought was, "why did you serve it to begin with? Did she just assume that because my son was young he wouldn't know the difference between good soda and flat soda?" Whatever...I just asked if I could take it off and get water. Very annoyed at this point, she tells me she'll take care of it...she then brings out a canned Sprite. (That should have been what she did to begin with) Despite what others have written, the food has gone downhill from when they first opened. My son's sesame chicken was obviously previously frozen...I'm sure that's standard, but once something has been frozen past a certain time it starts to take on a certain texture and taste. That was his chicken...I'm lucky his tastes aren't up to my standards because I wouldn't have been able to eat it. I got Mongolian beef, which used to be sautéed with onions to a nice "crisp" and served in a light sauce. Today it comes out soggy and limp, covered in a heavy "gravy". I'd love to say something positive about this place as I try to with all of my reviews, but I've got nothing. It was a terrible dining experience. Check out my review of Beijing and go there instead!! read more

Okay, i have good news :) Very happy to say that the new owners of the Golf Chef are doing a much better job. The new service staff and owner are very personable. They check in on you to make sure everything is good. The menu looks the same but I think they are using a better food supplier now and their ingredients seem to taste a little fresher. Under the old owners, I think their chicken had a weird after taste, but not now. I will give it 3.5 stars now for this big improvement, and I will need to go back another time to taste the dishes and soups. I had hot and sour soup during my recent visit and It was neither too hot or sour and had tasted sweeter than it should be. I had chicken egg foo young and it was decent. So maybe the next time when I come back and they have semi hot and semi sour soup, I can upgrade them to 4 stars J I am still very happy that at least this place is a decent enough place for lunch and its close to the office for now. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Enormous portions, very reasonably priced. Super-fast service. Egg rolls are perfect (fresh on the inside, golden crispy on the outside) Egg drop soup is perfect (very eggy, not a ton of extra ingredients) Great flavors in their entrees (thick savory sauces, juicy chicken) So happy that we've finally found our favorite Chandler Chinese place. read more

Ok gang, we just left this place & hurried our goody bag home. FINALLY! What more can I say? Chandler finally has a really good chinese restaurant. They cook your food to order in no time. More importantly...you can recognize the ingredients in your food & it taste great. This is where my gf & I will go when we're jonesing for chinese food. 3/8/15 This use to be a great place for good & quick Chinese food. Over the years, the service has gone down, the food quality is garbage & the prices are ridiculous. We'll drive across town before we eat here again. read more

We ordered through Grub Hub ahead of time and they were even earlier! I think this place beats our go to of Beijing... PROS -Walnut shrimp - super tasty and good amount walnuts..even came with some steamed broccoli. The broccoli was not mushy at all! -Tasty hot and sour soup, came with standard fried wontons -crabpuffs were good, cheaper than most places, 8 per order -Chinese eggplant - lots of veggie goodness, chestnuts, carrots, mushrooms, celery, sauce was not spicy but still very flavorful -spicy mongolian beef - it had a very mild spice, good saucybeef and scallions The pork rolls were just standard eggrolls, a little bummed as we are used to them being a little more hefty. read more

I am so disappointed in Gold Chef. I ordered over the phone 4 things and they managed to screw up 2 of them. Not only that, but they refused to deliver us the right food after their mix up, leaving one person totally hungry and without their food. We have ordered from them for three years, paid the delivery fee and yet were left high and dry with awful food and poor customer service. read more

This is by far my favorite place in town. Quick, cheap, and tons of food! Even amazing tofu! Definitely going to be our "go to" place from here on! Food tastes amazing!! Thank you so much! read more

Gold Chef - Chinese Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

i'm super particular about my chicken lo mein, and they hit the spot every time. they recently reopened their dining area and they have phones ringing off the hook, but the ladies up front are always doing their absolute best, and i am proud of them!!! you guys go!!! read more

I've ordered a couple of times from this restaurant. I ordered chicken and vegetables and fried rice. The brown sauce on the chicken dish is not the best and the fried rice was too greasy. I admit I compared this food and another Asian restaurant that does this dish right. read more

What can I say the food is great. They fulfill orders quickly and haven't had any issue as far as quality goes. They are a little light on the sauces so I would ask for extra if you're wanting more flavor. This is my favorite Chinese food restaurant in Chandler! I order from here weekly and would highly recommend them to friends and family. read more

Very tasty Chinese food! Friendly staff. Quite affordable. I really enjoyed their Honey Chicken. read more

We decided to give Gold Chef a try based on yelp reviews. The egg rolls were...eh...they didn't have any pork or chicken in them and they're quite oily on the inside.The crab ragoons were perfect!! We shared the orange chicken and sweet and sour pork with fried rice. The two entrees were delicious! Although the fried rice was plain; no veggies or egg, I didn't realize they had more than one kind and they charge you $2 extra for it. All in all it was a positive experience and we would definitely come back but next time we'll just have the ragoons and share an entree since it was too much food. read more

Good service....good taste and presentation of the food. Price is right. They let you substitute items for a reasonable upcharge. Over all I would eat here again. read more

Gold Chef - Lunch special $5.25 Food tastes very good! Service is great! - Chinese Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Read all the reviews and im still puzzled. I will let it be known that I do not necessarily know what NY style Chinese food is. I ordered several suggestions from yelp, but something is missing. It was good- maybe I just don't like Chinese food? Nothing spectacular. Minimum delivery price of $15 keep that in mind. Huge portions, quick delivery, above average. Not worthy of the stellar opinions though. read more

This really is as good as it gets for a casual Chinese place. Delicious, fresh and affordable. This place has it all. I got a little advert in the mail for the place that had the takeaway menu and some coupons on the back. We decided to order 3 lunch specials around 11:00 am and got two orders of the Mongolian Beef and one of the Szechuan Chicken with fried rice and egg drop soup. We asked for delivery and told them we had a coupon, paid with a credit card over the phone and were told it would take 35-40 minutes for them to arrive. Right around 11:40 they arrived and delivered the food. We tipped in cash and opened up the food. The food arrived in individually packed meals kind of like Pei Wei, with the rice and meat all in one box. The egg drop soup was packaged separately and they were huge! This was no small serving of soup. We also got 3 fortune cookies and plastic utensils, soy sauce packets, and napkins. These were all thoughtful touches I appreciated. The soup was a 12 oz container packed full to the brim. The soup was a clear golden broth full of swirls of cooked egg. There were no vegetables or chunks of tofu, just eggs mixed in the broth, but it was great. Very comforting. I doctored mine up by dropping 2 tbsp of frozen peas and a tiny bit of soy sauce into it and since the soup was very hot, it cooked the peas to the perfect consistency in a few minutes. The Mongolian Beef wasn't like any Mongolian Beef I have ever had (you know, the typical sort of crispy meat in that dark brown intense sauce with green onions) but it was still very good. A fresher flavor, due to the sliced onions, bell peppers, and green onions that were mixed in, and not as caramelized or crispy a flavor but more subtle. It tasted more like a homemade version of Mongolian Beef which was a nice change. The veggies were all crisp and flavorful and the beef was tender. The Szechuan Chicken had lots of veggies like baby corn and bell peppers and a spicy sauce. It was very nice too. Portions of meat to rice are generous and could satisfy a light appetite for two meals. The fried rice is awesome, with tender grains of rice, lightly flavored and very fresh tasting and dotted with vegetables. No hard grains or weird textures which might be indicative of old rice being reused. Nothing we ate had the intense saltiness I usually associate with Chinese food, either, which was a wonderful plus. The food was all tasty and the bill came to $16 including nominal delivery charges after our 15% discount coupon. $16 for lunch for three people, delivered? It's an absolute steal! The food is tastier and in bigger portions than most Chinese places, and I'll be ordering from them again and again. They have this ridiculously huge family feast thing for $33 that I have my eye on. I've been to NYC many, many times and thoroughly enjoy the high quality Chinese takeout one can get delivered there. I never thought I'd be able to get the same experience here in AZ, but with Gold Chef I can! read more

As usual they did not disappoint. They're Ma Pao Tofu is awesome. In my opinion. My husband loves there sweet and sour chicken. As well as there egg foo young. The patties are thick and very moist not dried out. They also have a great kids meal for the littles that don't like Chinese food. We've always ordered to go. Pick up is fast. Delivery takes about 30 minutes. Depending on your order. I really love there food. And the owner is also really nice. read more

Definitely one of my favorite spots. The fried rice (pork/beef/chicken/shrimp) and the honey chicken are my absolute faves! Try it! I appreciate the large portions because my kids can EAT. read more

In the mood for Chinese, ordered from here as it was an easy drive to pick up. I ordered kung pao chicken and a beef lo mein. I thought the chicken and the beef were bland with no flavor, the kung pao.chicken wasn't spicy at all, no flavor. Service wasn't really spectacular, but that's okay, it isn't terrible either, the food could definitely use improvement read more

Amazing food and fast service, everytime my bf and I go, we've been satisfied. I recommend them for anyone in Chandler.

For our delivery they said 35 minutes, which turned into 103 minutes before we got our food. The owner was apologetic, and recooked and delivered our order. He said they have a new delivery person who got lost. Thankfully the food tasted good. So they regained a star with that. I am not sure if we will try this location again after the long wait... even though the food was pretty tasty. read more

Very good food but owners wife is very rude and will never go there again because of it! She would not let us sit where we wanted to sit, we asked to speak to owner she told us her husband didn't speak English and we asked her questions about menu and she told us she was busy and did not have time.... there were only one other person in the restaurant at that time? read more

Love this place for delivery! The lady owner is always super friendly on the phone. My husband loves their sweet & sour chicken-- he's really picky on the the type of batter used and this place hits the spot. They also serve the sauce in a separate container when it's being delivered which is a plus. Some of their dishes are a bit americanized. I ordered Shanghai style noodles once and was expecting the ultra thick, chewy noodle but got thinner chow mein style instead. But it was still hot & yummy so I can forgive it! All in all, nice fresh chinese delivery with good prices and reliable delivery. A+ read more

Great food always fresh.....about to place another order! The shrimp fried rice is my favorite.

Biggest regret is moving to awahtukee I cant get my gold chef fix as often as I used to. This is totally a family run little restaurant and the owner is so freaking sweet. She always greets with a huge smile and makes the place fun to visit she has a great sense of humor... on to the food its well priced NY Style chinese food that I dare say is better than some local places that are actually in Ny. I have yet to order something off the menu that I didnt like its all so yummy. When I buy a house I hope its next to Gold Chef! read more

Gold Chef - Kung Pao Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Horrible service - use a different restaurant! I didn't have the opportunity to even try the food here. I placed my order, received a confirmation email that they were preparing it... And an hour later I received a call that they are going to cancel my order. If you can't fill orders, be up front with customers. Keeping us waiting around all night thinking our dinner is on its way is proof that this business has zero respect for its customers. Jan 2016: I have ordered from this restaurant again and haven't had any additional service issues. The food is decent, about what you'd expect for the cost. Just your standard American Chinese food. read more

We had the sesame chicken and Mongolian beef, and they were good. Servers are very friendly. Good stop for an inexpensive lunch read more

Gold Chef - Chinese Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

So disappointed was looking forward to try this place out. Sadly they did not care about my online order. The order was 34.00 I said on app I would pay in store at 530pm. I got there at 520 the women looked up I said my name still no eye contact. I realized she was in the phone she was being snarky with this person. When she got off of the phone I gave my name again. No order I explained it was online and I would pay Thethe 34.00 in store. No order talk to owner about app. She then proceeds to go in back a couple of times. I was going to go ahead and do the order again, but she never came back to take it. Talk about a let down, what is sad is this is the only place I found sweet n sour chicken, and hubbies Singapore me fen since moving here in July. I would of complained to manager at the site but that's hard to do when they won't come back out of the back. read more

I love this place. We get a lot of vegetable meals and they are always great about switching out meat for tofu or veggies. Their sauces are always tasty and consistent. I don't recall a bad meal here and for a quick take out it is hard to beat. The staff is always very friendly. Recommend you try it if in the area. read more

I went to Gold Chef for the first time a few days ago and my first impression of this place was that it was pretty quiet and empty. The lady was very nice and accommodating and was very nice and kind. When the food came out I did not realize that the portions were so huge. My stomach had a problem with the chicken that was cooked even though it was so delicious! We are not sure if we will be back for a while. read more

Went here to eat a bit ago. The place was unbelievably dirty. Tables, walls, floor, everything was just gross. I won't even get into detail on the rest room. Obviously not cleaned regularly. Really scared what the kitchen might look like. I am not going to be taking that risk again! read more
