Their food was still very good, and I was lucky to be there before they close for the summer. Recommendations: Garlic cucumber, clear noodle with dressing, spicy combo pot, stir fried lamb, spicy wonton soup, fish with sichuan pickles The only thing I don't recommend is fried eggplant. Portion was very small for the price ($17), it was stuffed with minced meat which wasn't in the description (I wouldn't have ordered it if I knew) They will be closed from May 25th through Sept 21st, 2026.

We ordered from their already limited dim sum menu which was suppose to be available until 4 pm per their menu. ( we got there around 2:40 pm) Other parties arrived after us yet they were served their food before us. The service was not great. The food was subpar. They even charged me for food they didn't even deliver. When I expressed I never got the food yet she charged me she tried to get me to pay for someone else's food. I told her that was not my bill. I would not recommend coming here. The table was dirty and so was the cutlery. It got two stars because the pan fried scallion tasted fine and my daughter liked it.

We have been on the search for tasty Chinese food and are so happy that we found the perfect place. We did not know what to expect for serving sizes and wanted to make sure to have enough food for football Sunday -- but we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the portions. They're HUGE! Ended up with lots of leftovers that were even more delicious the next day. What was even more wonderful was the kindness and service that I experienced when I went to pick up the food. We had a big order so one of the servers offered to carry the order to my car for me when it was ready so I didn't have to lift a finger! They even threw in some extra soup to go alongside the rest of our order. So, so kind! Definitely gives us a reason to keep coming back and also was a big reason why we started recommending everyone give them a try. We didn't eat inside, but it was nice and cozy and clean.

The sweet and sour chicken was the best part of the plate, but overall, the quality just wasn't there for me.

It describes itself as buffet style, so we expected to go through a line and get our own food. It is actually cafeteria style, where you choose and they put it on the plate for you. A different experience. No biggie, just FYI. The options are simple; A, B or C, depending on whether you opt for 1,2 or 3 entree items. The prices are very reasonable ($10.95 for the most expensive option), especially for the huge portions they gave- our to-go boxes barely closed! Haven't had this kind of value in a long time. Thank you!

Huge servings! To-Go containers are the only option, even if dining in.

I was so incredibly impressed with Da Chef Noodle, I felt actually giddy joy when discovering it existed and then even more excited once I learned the food is as good as you think it is going to be when you walk in. Staff was low key but kind and helpful. I popped in on accident one night when I was in the area and have ordered several times since. My first fortune cookie read: You are in the right place for something unforgettable. And boy, were they right! The roast pork was sweet, tangy balanced perfect with salty. The walnut shrimp might be the best I've ever had and I've lived all over the world. Typing this now, I can't wait to go back. I'm new out here to the valley and didn't expect to find such incredibly delicious Chinese food. So grateful for this find!

I've been several times, the first time about 3 weeks after it opened. Didn't write a review then, or did I? Anyway... It is about the size of a Starbucks lobby, complete with standard decorative restaurant applications. There's a couple of tables and a half dozen booths to sit in. Soda selection is limited, and they do have a few adult beverages there as well. I don't drink, so I usually don't check out the drink menu. Not to make the staff seem too stereotypical, but as soon as I heard the yelling in the kitchen, with the language of the natives, I knew from the first visit, this was gonna be at the very least, a tasty meal. This visit was not a disappointing one. I ordered the potstickers, and an order of combo lo mein. Very good and very filling. And all the flavors were very authentic. I will say the service is hot and miss, but only because the language barrier is somewhat thick. But, I really don't need to ask for anything else past the meal being set, because that's ultimately what matters, in my opinion. As long as we communicate, the plates and cups aren't thrown at me, I'm a happy camper. I feel like this place is a little more popular for take out, but I think it is also worthy of a sit in meal. I'm having the duck next time... Thanks!
