  • Restaurant inspection results are kept by the city or county health department; many publish them online or post the latest grade at the door.
  • For table service a tip of 15โ€“20% is customary; at counter-service places tipping is optional.

Food was outstanding, especially duck egg rolls. Reasonable prices. Outstanding waitress service- tea, ice water, crunchy noodles and orange sauce on the table as soon as you sit down. Enough left over food for 2 more meals. Make an extra trip to come here for the food, service, and environment. Would give 6 stars if I could.

This place isnโ€™t very welcoming, although itโ€™s a sit down restaurant, I personally wouldnโ€™t sit to eatโ€”let alone return. My meal was general tso chicken (it was a combo I believe). My bill came to $19.xx. when I told the hostess I would tap to pay, she proceeded to include a tip for herself, which was very rich being she wasnโ€™t all that friendly. The food was good. I came out quickly but there werenโ€™t any vegetables on my plate. All in all, the 3.8 rating is accurate.

I could highlight a few experiences I have had with your establishment and I will just note this one from yesterday. The food was bad, I am sorry to report but when I first moved to the area I raved about your food. Last night's meal was not good at all. I got beef and broccoli, the beef was red in spots, some pieces were completely red. The sauce was very salty. The wonton soup looked like it was sitting in the bottom of a container and was not cooked. This is a shame. I will not return for a little while, its probably for the best. The lack of effort put into the food is very disappointing. I hope things change because right now, there are better options out there.

I have been going to China Chef for about 2 years now and I must say that I have never had a bad experience. My wife and I really enjoy the food and atmosphere. I often get Chicken and Mixed Vegitables (or string beans) while my wife loves Sweet and Sour chicken. Of course their wonton soup is tasty. The only thing I have a problem with is that the Lady who works there prefers dogs over cats... something I cannot get past. They should be more careful who they hire. :)

Generously packed with jumbo shrimps, sea scallops, tender chicken breasts, with steamed fresh vegetables in the Happy Family. Very large home made pork dumplings. Royal seafood chef special. All are delicious! Our first time trying out this place and very happy with our choice. The restaurant seems to be run by a hardworking elderly couple. The restaurant is underrated for its price, quality and value.
