Reviews Summary

China Chef garners praise for its long-standing family-run service and consistently tasty, well-prepared Chinese dishes, creating a welcoming and retro dining atmosphere. However, some diners have noted concerns about smaller portion sizes and bland flavors in certain dishes, with one reviewer finding the pricing for the quantity of food to be excessive.

"The atmosphere is very clean, welcoming and a bit retro
The service was warm, courteous and professional.
I started with a cup of wonton soup that was very tasty, warm, and yummy 😋 ! The luncheon plate I ordered was delicious, flavors perfect, also the house lo-mein was amazing. I left there full with enough key overs for myself and my husband for a light lunch. The prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend eating here. The owners really focus on providing a great dining experience and strive for satisfied customers!"

"First time in The front of house gentlemen was perfect, I ordered pupu for 2 and dinner general's chix the gen chix only 4 small pieces of chicken. I paid $43 for lunch meal portions when I paid for dinner this was way way way over priced for the little food they put in this was the biggest rip-off. Plus the food is extremely bland. I love Chinese food but this place sorry to say failed me horribly wrong. I'll dont know if I'll honestly go back to even try again. The food supposed to keep people not push them away."

"First of all, the kid at the front desk knows nothing about the dishes and had to ask the owner every time. Second, see the photos, those were $12.95 each. What a joke. They forgot putting rice into the bag as well. The chow mein came with flakes of beef. Avoid this one at most."
