It's the Food! The dining area is a small square room so it's very intimate. If it's a hot day, it's stay away from the tables by the front door and goes to the wall. Later was good and the food was fabulous. I came by here and the following week wonderful experience. read more

I absolutely love this place. I've been coming here since I was a child and I'm now in my mid 30's and still come here. The food is delicious and good quality, great portions. The owners are very nice and you can just tell they take pride in what they do. I will continue to come here as long as they are open. Wouldn't change a thing. read more

When people ask in the foodie groups where the best Chinese food is in the area, Chef Chan's is invariably among the replies. With good reason. I rolled up on Chef Chan's yesterday after a day of Christmas shopping (more accurately Christmas pickups, who can risk "shopping" these days). Wish I had gotten here sooner. We ordered Mongolian Beef, Chef Chan's Beef, egg rolls and fried dumplings and all were among the best I ever had. The egg rolls were crisp and hot and not one bit oily. The dumplings were fried on all sides and filled with a pork filling that was superb. The Mongolian Beef was not too sweet and paired beautifully with the rice. And the very best? Chef Chan's beef. I had scoured the menu for orange beef which serves as a litmus test for me when I'm trying a néw Chinese place. Sadly, there wasn't any on the menu. I asked the waitress about Chef Chan's beef and she said it was his version of orange beef and I was all in. This beef is barely breaded but fried to a delightful crispness. There is no visible sauce but the essence of orange resonates in each bite without overwhelming. The portions were huge so I got two meals out of it but I was ready to hurry back for more. The very best! COVID-19 precautions are in place with masks and hand sanitizer required. Meals are served in solid takeout containers which is both safe and convenient. read more

Went for lunch ordered Generals chicken and orange chicken both where bland had no flavor I asked for extra sauce for the generals chicken and they charged me $5.00 for it seems ridiculous that a $12.95 lunch item to get extra sauce almost cost half as much for the lunch itself Hot n Sour soup was great We will not come back due to the food and the over charge for some extra sauce read more

First time, last time. Was looking for a new spot for lunch. I'm very disappointed. Beyond the wonton soup, it's the absolute worst Chinese food I've ever had! Sorry, not sorry. read more

Although the flavor on the general Tso's chicken wasn't bad, the chicken tasted old and it was hard to chew. The shrill was the right texture on the outside but the inside was mushy and flavorless. The receptionist was was nice and helpful. I won't be dining here again read more

food delicious, service great, thank you for helping us have a wonderful party. A good time was had by all. read more

Order was completely wrong. No General Tsao, no water chestnuts. No help on the phone. Don't bother.

Chef Chan's makes brisk, efficient work of all your Chinese food needs. We've dined in twice now, receiving quick but not unfriendly service. Takeout and delivery is available (within their service radius) but with a generous dining space, it seemed like a lot of their business was also done with groups eating in. The space is dim and slightly outdated but with tablecloths and carpeting, it's definitely a step up from a quick takeout place. On both of our weekend trips, there were plenty of groups here enjoying an alternative Sunday brunch. With plenty of lunch deals that include a soup, choice of rice, and fried spring roll with your entree, the options are aplenty. We let our appetites take the lead and ordered a gluttonous three meals for our party of two, engorging ourselves on beef with broccoli, baby shrimp with broccoli, and a vegetable lo mein. The 'with broccoli' protein dishes were just all right, tasting more of salt and soy sauce than anything else. The humble vegetable lo mein was the surprising star of the meal both times that we ordered it. Perfectly seasoned with not too much filler, we put this away in double time. I appreciate the restaurant's healthy cooking claims, such as avoiding MSG, and using low sodium soy sauce and extra virgin olive oil in their kitchen. Our server on both days was good about refilling our water glasses frequently and there was no wait at any point during our meals, whether for the seat, meals, or the check. read more

This is by far the worst Chinese food in the area!!! The egg rolls are filled with cabbage only and a sliver of carrot!!! That's it!!! Full of grease and horrible!!! Why is it so hard to give people good quality food?? Absolutely disgusting!!!! The chicken is dried out white meat and no flavor!! Do the Woodlands a favor and find something else to do because you are terrible at running a restaurant!!! read more

I wanted to try them out after the local foodie FB page talking about how good they are every time a discussion about "Best Local Chinese Food" comes up. I was disappointed. The band news: It took forever for somebody to come to my table after the hostess seated me No crispy noodles for your soup? Never heard of that. It happened to me once before somewhere else and the server said, "Sorry, we are out of packaged crispy noodles, so we made fresh for you!" and the they were great! Server got my order wrong. $2.49 for an unsweet tea with no refills offered? Server took my bill and said "thank you" and walked away. An 80% tip was not appropriate. Gave her 20% but that was not worth the quality of the service. I had to ask for me receipt when the server brought back my change for my work expenses. The good news: The food was very tasty! I will give them another shot. Maybe the server was new, but I am going to guess not since she and the hostess talked a lot. read more

Very good food. Packaged nicely and just as ordered. Delivery was prompt and courteous. Will definitely order again

Got takeout here on Dec 25th. What a revelation this food was! We loved their sesame and orange chicken dishes. Is it the best stuff ever? Maybe not. Is it the perfect stuff to enjoy on a Friday, Saturday, or night off? Yes! It's incredibly perfect in that respect. I will definitely be coming back. In fact, I must! read more

First step into the restaurant and right away greeted kindly. Server seated us right away, and was professional the entire time. He knew the menu inside out, and was able to suggest great dish pairings. The meals we had were above expectations. Cooked perfectly, the seasonings blended so perfectly. Eating a meal here was a wonderful experience for us. And we are planning on coming here more often. The atmosphere here was amazing. Very clean, organized and warm. The music was at a perfect volume, and the lighting here really makes you feel comfortable. Not bright and not too dim, just perfect. I noticed a group come in, and even when they treated the server disrespectful, he maintained professionalism and courtesy. As I looked around the dining room I noticed how well maintained and clean this restaurant is. We will be back again and again while here in Houston. Thankyou for such an amazing experience read more

Surprisingly high quality Chinese food for a small place in the Woodlands. The decor is quite nice and the food is tasty, but it's a few dollars more and slightly smaller portions than you would get in Chinatown. If you live up in this neck of the woods (pun intended) it's worth checking out. But as someone who lives in Chinatown, I wouldn't drive across town to come here. read more

This serves very average quality food. If you're in the area and want a bite to eat , it's not bad. It's American -Chinese with orange chicken on the menu. The egg drop soup was not bad, the chicken fried rice ( chicken tasted a bit stale) and fried fish fillet in sauce - both were okay. Not a great place to visit if you're used to good quality Chinese. read more

Horrible. Restaurant atmosphere was awful, waiters unfriendly and odd and food was pretty bad. The Mongolian beef was a plate full of dark sauce drowning a few gross looking pieces of beef my husband finally told our daughter not to eat because it looked suspect. Chicken lo mein not great either. Shrimp was so heavily battered and hard. We really just wanted to go and our waiter had not returned to check on us even though only one other couple in restaurant so he peaked around the corner into kitchen to find waiter and told me good thing I didn't see the gross kitchen. One and done just thankful we didn't get sick. read more

General #tsoschicken// $9.20 If you're looking for the biggest bang for your buck where there's actually effort and care put into your meal then I'd highly recommend coming here. Their lunch special is everyday just make sure to get there before 2! Not only are you getting a deal, with this mountain of flavorful flashy red chicken but you're given an #eggroll, the option of 3 different types of #rice, and you get to choose between 3 #soups that you'll be served before your meal. The flavor of the #chicken was simple but well balanced and direct. These sauces are homemade as well which is a rarity now a days so a round of applause for you guys honestly. It's the extra effort that goes a long way. Location: 7 Switchbud Pl Ste C-190 The Woodlands, TX 77380 IG: @hiddenfoodgems read more

The good- LO Mein & Crab Rangoon The bad- cashew chicken, hot & sour soup, fried rice, spicy garlic chicken. Very strong vinegar flavor and no other flavor. Chicken in all the dishes was so bland. Even with the sauce, almost no flavor. Would not recommend read more

First and last visit. Ever. I couldn't bring myself to taste the hot & sour soup. It smelled like the zoo, the sewer, and something else. I also ordered chicken and broccoli, and only ate the broccoli. The worst was the TV showing a show where they were cooking a cute little Guinea pig. read more

It pains me to have to update this restaurant down to one star. Not sure if pandemic got the best of them or what? While still great in 2020. Starting in 2021 food quality plummeted and now in 2022 is still dismal. Cold Cabbage is a dressing filled massively full of chilies mess Pork in Peking sauce is now in the ubiquitous brown sauce Chicken Sia Chai. Dry. Overcooked. Not sauce. No heat. No vegetables anymore either. Beef Hunan not spicy and in ubiquitous brown sauce. Pork fried rice. Very little pork. A small handful of peas. No onions. No carrots anymore. Ubiquitous brown sauce flavor too. I am very sad. No good Chinese to eat anymore read more

We order from Chef Chan's often. We have liked everything we have ordered - salt and pepper shrimp, Mongolian beef, sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, wonton soup, hot and sour soup and more. Today I tried the Chan's beef (delish) and the tangy and spicy green beans. This is the first time I haven't liked what I got. The green beans are just steamed green beans. The sauce was on the side but is so thin, it just pooled at the bottom of the bowl when I poured it on. Won't keep us from ordering food from Chef Chan's again, but I wouldn't order the green beans read more

This place is a JOKE!!! Today was my first,and last time going there 10/11/22... I ordered two happy family meals payed about $30.00 for both of them. The girl at the register is rude and no respect for call in orders, also a lier!!!these people rip us off the customers !! very small portions, and the shrimp they serve on a $15.00 dollar plate the size of a shrimp on a instant noodle soup..I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!! read more

So disappointing to see the service, food, and management of Chef Chan's decline so rapidly the last several months. They appear to be under new management, as the gentleman (owner? Manager?) I used to see every time I walked in the place is no longer there. He seemed to run a tight ship and I never had issues with incorrect "to go" orders. I have had several problems in recent months -- tonight I get home to find out they left out the friggin' RICE! A few weeks ago, I ordered and paid online, only to arrive to pick up my order and they tell me they have no record of it! (I showed them the charge made to my credit card). The food is mediocre, at best. So.... I'm done with Chef Chan's. The new management has destroyed one of my formerly favorite restaurants in The Woodlands. read more

We've been ordering delivery from here for 15 + years and it's always been great. Two adults and two children. Our kids grew up and when home would ask that we order out the first night home. All great. When we did eat in it was similarly great. Loved it. Then yesterday we ordered take out and picked up. Something has gone horribly wrong. The pork fried rice, normally juicy and yummy, was dry and the rice variety has changed. Different flavor. Crunchy. The sesame chicken was very over cooked, dry and tough. Couldn't eat it. Egg rolls were soggy and tough too. Crab puffs still good so maybe they were fresh at least. New cook? New supplier? Or are they recycling leftovers from lunch? There was no one in the restaurant at 5:30. Has everyone figured this out or are they purely take out? We will try them again since we have a relationship and you should too, at least once. Everyone can have a bad day. But still.... Please fix this CC. We love you and don't want to lose you. read more

The guy when you order at the counter is rude and they are way overly priced for the quality of food they have. read more

Way overpriced and overhyped! Nothing special. $56 for 2 combo dinners is way too much. We were charged $4.50 for tea that usually comes free! I will say the food here was less greasy than most but it just wasn't worth the price tag for just average Chinese cuisine. Egg drop soup tastes like corn only. The Chef Chan's house special beef was a huge disappointment. I specifically ordered it because the description mentioned orange peel. I couldn't find a single one. No orange flavor either. Service was unfriendly. Will not return. read more

I have eaten at or had take out from Chef Chan's around a dozen or so times. I would definitely give them five out of five stars if they had a little better consistency. Some of the times we order from there it is the best or some of the best Chinese food we have ever eaten. The next time we order food from there it is mediocre at best. Awhile back I tried their Mongolian beef for the first time. It was seasoned and cooked to perfection and I thought I had found my new favorite food in the area. One week later we had guests and I convinced them to order the Mongolian beef. This time around it turned out like it had been frozen then microwaved to heat it up. If this location were to keep their quality at the level I know they can I would eat here a lot more often. read more

I have been eating at Chef Chan's for 15+ years. I now live out of state and it is the metric for all other Chinese restaurants. Anytime I visit I make sure to always eat there because you can't find such good quality Chinese anywhere else. Their food is SO good and is always consistent. I have never had a bad meal here, I really cannot recommend enough- 10/10! Try the orange chicken, special fried rice and beef lo mein- you will not be disappointed! read more

First time trying the food here, I thought I should think outside the box a little and order something different than what everyone else has reviewed. So, I ordered the Sesame Chicken.. :) What can i say but, YUM, it was sooo good and their special won ton soup was equally as delicious. We will order delivery again, and it was delivered in 10 minutes, but we live across the street. Definatly will be trying other entrées here. read more

Chef Chans The Woodlands - Sesame Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Spring, Texas

The Chinese food here is acceptable. It is a little pricey, but the portions are pretty big. We ordered General Tso Chicken and Orange Chicken. The breading on the chicken is pretty thick, very similar to southern fried chicken. The sauces were very runny and watered down. Overall I wouldn't particularly recommend this restaurant. read more

Just ok. Ordered takeout from here in a pinch. The hot and sour soup was good, but the Pepper Chicken I ordered off the menu was pretty bland. From the two seconds I spent inside picking up the food, I didn't find the ambiance to be much to speak of either, especially for the price. Guess we'll continue the search for good Chinese food in the Woodlands. read more

The sesame chicken here is to die for!!! Their soups are good and their crab puffs are crispy. Everything comes out HOT and fresh!! My new favorite place in the woodlands! Glad we discovered this hidden gem! read more
