Asian Chef - 1 order of 58. Shrimp Fried Rice and 28. Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

The delivery guy was really nice and quick. But, that's about it. Wish I'd seen the pic of the roach before I ordered.

I give this place 2.5 stars. Note: I got take out so i can only review the food, not the place or service.

This place has great customer service but sad to say the food is terrible. I ordered mushroom chicken and chow mein tasted somewhat rotten. The chicken was chewy and sweet. I tried to add sauces and only made it taste worse. Super disappointed because the service was awesome. The only edible food was the wontons filled with cream cheese. read more

Asian Chef - Chicken 26. Mushroom Chicken and Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

Horrible service. I call at 9:09 ( they close at 9:30) and they tell me they kitchen closes at 9:15 for last order. I say great can I get it delivered and the girl says oh no we only have one driver we can deliver. Ok then let me order what I want and go pick it up. Then I get excuses ohhh I'm the only one here and theirs only one cook and I have to leave in 5 minutes. what happened to the cook and the other driver. At this time it's 9:12. Look if you're going to be an ass about being lazy and not wanting to do your job don't answer the phone. My family orders here a lot. Well not anymore. I'll order from postmates. Great job loosing 4 customers. read more

This is the first time i tried this place. I was at work, forgot my lunch and was starving! I called and placed an order for delivery of the orange chicken with fried rice, a side of wontons, and a side of chow mein. It took no more than 30-40 mins for my order. It was estimated 45 mins so i was happy. The orange chicken is pretty good, i was a little disappointed with it because the menu had a chile sign next to it indicating that it would have some spiciness to it, yet when tasting it, it did not. I do like the fact there are no actual oranges in it. I know its weird to order orange chicken and not want orange. But overall i wouldnt mind ordering it again. The fried rice has no egg or vegetables in it, i didnt find that normal, but whatever. The chow mein was ok. Not amazing but not gross either. I think my biggest problem with it was the vegetables in it werent fully cooked. The wontons were amazing! Bottom line....this place is definitely worth a shot. I would not mind ordering with them again. Now i just know what to get and what to look for with this place. This place does have some pretty good food. read more

Finally found a new spot! Generous portion sizes, delicious, and fast! Will totally be back!

This is a go-to place for delivery! I've never been disappointed. There food is fresh and consistent and my whole family approves.

Update* 6/12/15 I ordered again tonight! My same old veggie chop Suey, curry shrimp with brown rice. My son LOVES their food. He knows who the delivery guy Or gal is. And the best part is I know that whenever I order this food it's hot and fresh and ITS THE ONLY FOOD MY SON REALLT ENJOYS EATING. He barely eats food and he's 2. If I could order every other day just for him iWould. Thanks Eva and your wonderful staff and CHEFS for such amazingly fresh and delicious food! The only place I got to for Chinese food in La!! I love their food. Always hot and fresh. Not ever greasy or inconsistent tastes. The taste here is always on point and I've never been disappointed. I always get the Veggie or shrimp Chop Suey with 1$ added green beans. Brown rice and the crunchy noodles. Their shrimp fired rice is good and so is the shrimp in lobster sauce. Olive that they deliver and I can pick up with ease. Calling ahead of time makes picking up go much faster. But if u have time to kill stop by! They're wonderful ppl. read more

Asian Chef - Dinner!!! Curry shrimp, veggie chop Suey, chow mein crunchy noodles, and siracha. - Chinese Near Me - Long Beach, California

It used to be Ling's Kitchen before during the 1980s and 1990s when I was a kid, which was highly-known for its incredible value and lowest prices. During its final-year of operation (I think in 2002), combo #H all-day special, BBQ Pork fried rice and 4 piece fried chicken wings combo plate, only cost $2.65 plus tax. I remembered it only cost $1.85 plus tax during mid-1990s, and I heard it used to be only $0.99 during mid-1980s. Asian Chef, today, stole Ling's Kitchen old business picture icon, spammed many local residents with menus into mailboxes, raised prices by more than 500%, and portion sizes are smaller than before. Asian Chef is NOW one of the more-expensive Chinese fast-food joints in Long Beach. Combo #H I used to remember now cost $9.99 or more, plus tax, during dinner hours, if they ever attempt to sell it. If Ling's Kitchen is still here today with same old owner, I appraised it at only $4.65 plus tax all day, after inflation adjusted and minimum wage increased. They are thieves indeed, and I do NOT support any business establishment that illegally plagiarized and stole picture icons from old businesses, and fool long-time old customers believing they're still the same place. Fortunately, I'm so glad I've never walked into Asian Chef once before since it first opened. Please click and go this this old restaurant menu link, and compare their old prices before vs. new today. http://dineries.com/ca/longbeach/lingskitchen/3553atlanticave/zoom?p=1 Sorry, Asian Chef fans, but you actually have been robbed throughout the years from this greedy owner... May I also add, this new owner was also once a regular customer for Ling's Kitchen before, and he/she appreciated the low prices before, but refuses to give back in return to society. read more

Great variety of choices. They have lunch specials and family value packs. Authentic Taiwanese cuisine. This place has limited seating but the atmosphere is friendly. Mom & Pop restaurant. They also serve smoothies and boba drinks. My first time here. read more

Our go-to spot when I'm craving Asian food. Their egg rolls and chow mein are amazing just on their own. Plus, I don't feel that foggy brain that sometimes comes along with Chinese food. Highly recommended! read more

Bless them. They definitely give you a lot for your money. However, the quality is not the best. It is basic Chinese food at best. Very bready and highly seasoned. With a little fine tuning this place would be good. I had the sweet and sour chicken which was sweet and sour dough. They need a good cook to join their team. read more

What we discovered in Long Beach, is that it is super hard to find good Chinese food and we have looked for several years. We stumbled about Asian Chef recently and have been here several times. The owner (she has now sold the business), Eva is a very sweet woman and will customize the order for you and she does it with a smile. My hubs does not like peas and carrots in his fried rice, so she omits it for him and gives him more egg and adds sprouts. Out of all the places in this area we tried, Asian Chef is the best. I hope the new owners will continue on with the great food and service. If I were in New York or Miami, I could give this restaurant three stars, but for Los Angeles Chinese food standards, it gets five stars. Yes, my hubs and I know good Chinese food and you are not going to find it often in LA. read more

The worst food ever. They have the audacity to be high in price. I will never go back to this place. How the fuck do you mess up on chow mein? The orange chicken read more

This review is based on Eat24 experiences only: We have ordered from Asian Chef a few times and love it. The food is great and the delivery guys are friendly. We especially love the chef's combo! read more

I gave thIs place a 3 start but if I could I would givE 3.5. The food was ok. My favorite was the noodles. We got a chef special one sweet and sour shrimp and the other lemon Chicken. Shrimp I hear Was good. My chicken Was ok. It tasted Better the next Day when I reheated it. Portion was good wish they Had two entre Instead of just one. after 4 they don't have the 2 entre lunch. read more

Sweet and sour chicken nasty, no flavor. Kung pao is ok. I will not return. Delivery was great through Grubhub read more

In regards to the food, it was really good. Can't complain about the taste.However, not the best in customer service. The young man at the cash register taking our order, seemed to have no type of emotions at all. We told him it was our 1st time at the restaurant,& he just looked at us w/ a blank emotion.(I was expecting some sort of recommendation?‍ guess NOT) not great at customer service & not sure if A/C is working in the facility. So if you're planning on eating at the restaurant, just make sure it's not a HOT day read more

I wanted to try different Asian restaurant other than my regular one. I like the fact that they deliver with DoorDash. The order arrived ahead of schedule, the delivery was made on a scooter (loved that!). The food was hot and very tasty. Portions were so large I had 3 meals from the Broccoli chicken. Prices were good especially since you get so much food. I will order again with them until I try the entire menu. read more

I have been going to Asian Chef since they bought out Lings. They have the freshest ingredients and the food is cooked to order(not sitting under heat lamps most of the day). A little expensive but well worth it. The staff is wonderful. read more

I would give Asian Chef a higher review, but first I'd have to be able to get in the door. I have an electric wheelchair and the door is really small and they would not unlock the other side for me to go in. I was told to go to H Salt Fish a few doors down to get food, that was rude and uncalled for, especially when they have a handicap sticker on their door. This was unacceptable and a disgrace. But on a good note H Salt Fish was great. Thanks Asian Chef. read more

Ordered orange chicken combo and a bbq pork fried rice. Unfortunately, I didn't like either of them. I didn't like the quality, or the flavor. I'm sorry to say I won't be returning. read more

Ordered delivery through Grubhub. Order eta was 45 minutes. Tried calling restaurant for update, no answer. Cal Grubhub support and they couldn't contact restaurant either. Finally got a text from Grubhub saying new delivery time is 45 minutes past the original time. Still no info from the restaurant. Still waiting after 2 hours. Will never order from this place again. read more

This place is a step up from any of the choose at the counter type places (like Panda Express), but it's not on par with a good sit down place. It's four stars for the value though. At first, I thought $9 was a bit pricey for my chicken and broccoli combo with fried rice. But then I realized it was enough for three meals. Anyhow, Asian Chef dishes decent take out chinese fast food. read more

I live right down the street from the restaurant and I can say it's really convenient because they deliver for one & the food is always on point and on time with delivery. My usual is house combo rice with Thai tea boba. read more

My favorite to-go spot for Chinese food. I really like their orange chicken and chow mein combo. The food is always fresh so it takes about 10-15 minutes for the food. read more

I have been a customer for the longest time. I recommend this little gem. I love to order the orange chicken with brown rice, egg drop soup and the Mongolian beef. The servings are big enough to share or to eat alone. I have met the owner of the restaurant and knows me and that's why I love this place. I also know the employees which makes it much more nicer to know that this food is really made with love. read more

It is a small place, but to me the have the best Chinese food around the area, they are quick to cook your order usually ready in 15 min.

I stumbled upon this place by accident and since it was lunch time, I decided to give it a shot. Usually when entering a restaurant of any kind, one expects to get greeted right?! Not here, the kid (guy with a pony tail and hat) just looked at me and I had to greet him (I'm that girl). Soooo I was the only one in the restaurant and yet my food took foreverrrrrrr, seriously. Anyways, the food was meh, I got the chow mein with teriyaki chicken. The sauce was too sweet, the chow mein noodles were bland. Needless to say, I'd rather have panda express over this. Only good thing I have to say is about the female worker there who gave me my food and was very nice. She should teach her coworker (who I'm sure is the owners son) some customer service skills. For real. read more

We still love to get delivery from Asian Chef. On days we just can't cook they always pull through for us. The delivery guy is a real friendly and sweet guy. Love the chicken fried rice. :) read more

So, my expectations for this place were pretty much non-exsistent. I mean, the place is in a CVS strip mall and resembles a fast food/take-out place. This is not an establishment to come for a sit down dinner. You can sit and eat, but it is KFC style. We moved away from our favorite Chinese food place and really haven't found a decent replacement. We've tried many around and this was literally lowest on our list, probably because it looks kind of ghetto. However, it is not really all that bad. I mean, it won't blow you away or anything, but if you are jonesing for some Chinese, you could do a heck of a lot worse. The beef and broccoli is tasty, the chicken cashew is plentiful and the wonton soup warms your tummy. On a random Wednesday evening, when you don't feel like cooking or taking the kids out, just stop by here on your way home from work, it never fails us... read more

Back when it was Ling's kitchen I used to eat there all the time. UNTIL one day I got the worst food poisoning of my life! I stayed away until I noticed that it was under new ownership and decided I would try again. On the bad side, the prices had gone up considerably. On the good side, the food was tasty, fresh and well prepared and the staff was friendly, as opposed to the surly guy who used to take my order. A couple of weeks ago I had started a "eat clean" detox type diet,but was craving Chinese food. They accomodated me and blended ingredients from two different entrees to create a very fresh, vegetarian dish for me. It was delicious and satisfying and I have gone back again with the same results. Thank you, Asian Chef, for satisfying my craving without all the floating grease and corn starch that is too often prevalent in fast food Asian "cuisine". read more

Food is really good, I always always get the cream cheese wontons, but sometimes the fried shrimp. I work down the street so I always call for delivery. The delivery people are always happy which I love, and my food always arrives between the time they tell me which I love love love! Their egg drop soup is amazing, I always get the small which is more than enough for one person. Cream cheese wontons or fried shrimp is a must, and I loveeeee their honey walnut shrimp( they aren't stingy like most places) !!! read more

My first time eating Asian Chef and I am very disappointed. The lemon chicken is awful. It does not remotely taste like lemon and it's a glaze! Yuck. Will not be returning. read more
