First time trying food from here. I must say, I was impressed. I've tried: 1. Mapo tofu over rice - so delicious, the spice was just right (I had gotten medium). Tofu so savory and silky delicious 2. Crawfish over rice - this was really good as well. It wasn't spicy but the gravy paired very well with the crawfish. Super flavorful! Only complaint was we did take out and it was over rice so by the time we got home the rice was a bit soggy 3. Bean curd dry pot - this was the star of the show! Super flavorful and delicious. Excellent with rice. I could be a vegetarian eating this all day every day The restaurant is very nice and clean. The staff was super friendly. I would definitely come back here and dine in with my mom as she would love authentic Chinese food read more

The flavor of the food came out pretty good. The ambiance was not too loud either. I do admit though, that the food was slightly salty. Other than that, due to the spice, etc, I would repeat. read more

Overall, I was very impressed with the authenticity and quality of each of the dishes! Each dish did not hesitate in delivering bold and mouth-numbing flavors. The baby cabbage was naturally sweet, but those garlic glass noodles were the real star! Powerful garlic flavor imbued in silky smooth noodles. The diced beef was wonderfully tender and juicy! The use of peppercorns ensured a powerful while also not overwhelming mouth numbing sensation. The homemade dumplings tasted just like how grandma makes it. Juicy pork and cabbage filling wrapped in a delightfully plump dough wrapper. The stir-fried chicken with lotus roots were heavenly! Chicken was tender and flavorful, lending its acidity from the pickled peppers. An overall must try dish! The fried pork belly certainly wasn't bad. However, there wasn't much pork flavor to come out from it. It ultimately just tasted like deep fried coating. As far as ambiance goes, the scenery of the restaurant is very relaxed and what you would expect from any Chinese restaurant. Overall, I really enjoyed all the dishes served at Chef Ge! read more

This is a new place that just recently opened up! It is very clean inside with plenty of seating. Service was great. The food was very tasty, but some of the items came out spicy when they were not marked as so on the menu. Even so, the food was delicious. Thanks! read more

I went there w my young (20 yr old )nephew, who loves to try out new places. Following were our issues - The spice in the food leaves the mouth numb. All dishes were w that spice. I do not believe all items on the menu would have that spice. I would expect the wait staff to guide a new comer on what to order I suggest that the restaurant have an introductory options to win folks over to the regional taste. The wait staff should be able to communicate in English or be an expert at using google translate and engage the customer meaningfully. The ambiance is confusing as I think this is 2 restaurants in one entrance, and we could not figure out what was going on. Would love to try w someone from the region or wait staff who can be a guide read more

Good service and tasty food more than any Chinese restaurant I've been in the area. Reasonably priced. Small parking area can be a problem on busy days. read more

Came here after some recommendations from friends, and we were pleasantly surprised! Authentic Chinese dishes and flavorful, but also has some creative twists. They have your classic dishes like Szechuan boiled fish/beef, Kung pao chicken, chicken/beef and broccoli etc. that are common in many Chinese restaurants. They also have a lot of unique dishes that I've never seen on other menus, which I think really makes them stand out. We've been here twice already, and here's what we ordered: Hot and sour fern noodles-10/10, great flavor, typical hot and sour noodle flavor, but with different noodles. Fern noodles are a little chewy, and these were cooked to the perfect texture. Golden Pepper Hemp Fish Soup-10/10, I haven't seen this dish before. Tender sliced fish, bean sprouts, and glass noodles in a golden, lightly numbing spicy broth. Cumin lamb-7/10, good flavor as well, but nothing super special. Pretty comparable to cumin lamb from other restaurants too. Chicken with potatoes/Da Pan Ji-8/10, this dish is also pretty common, but the noodles that they used were hand pulled (like biang biang noodles if you're familiar). This gives the noodles a perfectly chewy texture and better for the sauce to stick to. They were definitely my favorite part of the dish! Garlic and Spicy pork belly-10/10 this was so crispy without being super oily. Pork belly, especially fried, can tend to be very heavy, but this was not the case. Didn't have a ton of garlic or spicy flavor, seemed more like salt and pepper fried pork to me, but it was still delicious. Braised fish with homemade pancakes-10/10, this was a special of the day, and unfortunately I don't remember the actual name. Be careful because this fish has a lot of bones, but if you are ok with that, this is an amazing dish! The flavor is like a mildly spicier braised/Hong shao flavor. Pairs perfectly with the homemade pancakes that it comes with. The pancakes soak up the sauce, while still staying crispy. Overall, my family and I were very happy with all of the dishes we tried. Everything was flavorful, and not too expensive for the portion sizes either. We didn't think any of the dishes were too spicy, but we have a pretty high spice tolerance. If you come here, I would definitely recommend branching out and trying some dishes that other restaurants don't usually have. The staff was very friendly and helped answer our questions/give recommendations. I'm looking forward to our next visit here! read more

Just finished their Kung Pao chicken over rice and the Fried Rice Noodles W. Pork & Shrimp & Beef & Egg for takeout. Last time we had their Garlic & Spicy Pork Belly, and Spicy Shrimp Dry Pot, also takeout. The main thing I really like is they make different types of spiciness. The Kung Pao chicken was more of a sweet spicy (still has heat), the shrimp dish has the dry hotpot spicy (strong heat), and the pork dish has the mala spicy (strong heat). Not only the meats, but also the veggies were well flavored. The fried rice noodles were the most boring, but I like that the noodles were moist. Points off for the chicken being dry in the noodle dish but at least they are generous with the amount of meat. I definitely will try more on their menu. I usually order by phone (they have limited English so speak slowly and clearly, or just order online) and I pick up within 20 minutes. It looks like a small family business. Not sure what's the deal with the robot in the restaurant. read more

We usually ate at chef ge at least once a week. This time we took out a beef pepper corn fried rice. As I was eating it I saw a big fly in my fried rice. It was absolutely disgusting. But after I went back to the restaurant to ask if they can replace the dish, the owner/waitress was reluctant and asked me if the fly flew in while i was eating it even though the fly was obviously dead and mixed with the rice. In the end they replaced the fried rice for me. But I would not go back again with the bad service and attitude given how unsanitary their restaurant is and that they refused to take responsibility. read more

First time coming here and be warned that the food is SPICY. I'm not sure if it was just the dishes we ordered (most likely) and I can handle spice- but definitely ask if you can't handle spice or else you're going to cry. The only non-spicy item we had was the sweet and sour pork. It was tasty, but we felt that the portion was small and half of it was pineapples so there weren't too many pieces of pork. The eggplant in garlic sauce was deep fried- first time I've seen that was usually it is flash fried. Flavor was good on this, again spicy though if you can't handle it. The special was deep fried ribs- we didn't realize it was deep fried or else we wouldn't have ordered this as just not a fan of that. This dish was SUPER SPICY. Cumin lamb is a classic and was good but not mind blowing. read more

Honestly, the food was not fresh, the fish tasted unpleasantly fishy, and the portion of the pineapple sweet and sour pork was surprisingly small. The prices were on the higher side. I wouldn't recommend it, although the taste was somewhat tolerable. read more

Unprofessional staff and food was under cooked! Would not refund me, hung up on me and then started screening my calls, not answering!

The food is amazing. If you are looking for some authentic Chinese food, this is the right place.
