Best General's Chicken, chicken salad and Hunan Beef of any Chinese restaurant anywhere, EVER! Visited Chef Kwan's recently at the old Su Hong To Go spot in Menlo Park and was so happy to realize, the food is still being prepared the same way as Su Hong prepared it! Doing my happy dance! read more

Did ownership change again? Chinese Chicken Salad was bland and did not have any of the little fried rice sticks. Also, they have a brand new menu board and hours on the window are in military time??? Also they don't ask your name for phone orders anymore. They give you a three digit number which I completely forgot by the time I got there! If you pull them up online, it says they have a score of 4.7. See pic! read more

Since it's been almost a year since I last reviewed, figured I'd post again as my 5 star rating hasn't changed. This place has been a staple for years. Great food and super nice staff. It's no frills and not fancy but definitely worth it for the food. They have a few tables inside and a couple outside. read more

So disappointed. I'm not sure if it was an off day but the Chinese chicken salad was awful. The "fried" chicken was in bigger pieces and very chewy. The cilantro was in long stalks rather than separated. And the flavor just wasn't there. What happened? Hoping to find another restaurant with that "original" chicken salad taste! read more

Great tasting food, ample amounts. It's solid get you fed food. They've been putting it out here for decades, and I'm glad they're still here! read more

Food was very greasy! I wanted to give it a try but would not be coming back waste of my money!

Su Hong lives! (sort of) Was visiting my old stomping grounds and mourning the absence of Su Hong's General's Chicken. Then I remembered Su Hong's To Go had changed its name but not its recipes! Got there at opening time, ordered a lunch special, and soon had a hot portion of GC in front of me, just like Su used to make! So happy!!! Next time will need to get Chinese Chicken Salad! read more

Consistency is unfortunately the rule here. Ordinarily one looks forward to an another one just like the other one. I've tried to be fair in my review(s) of Chef Kwan but their on again off again menu items leaves me disappointed-consistently. Too bad. Staff are very nice however. The "chefs" need to get better. Not recommend. read more

Based on the pot stickers and orange peel beef, they have been monkeying with the recipes that have delivered for decades .. and not in a good way. The orange peel beef was soft, not the firm jerky'ish that used to make it so good. The pot stickers that were once juicy and soft and now dry and tough. So far the chicken salad is unchanged and still good. read more

My husband and I come here regularly for their Chinese Chicken Salad the best! Today was extra special. I had an an emergency phone call and left my purse hanging on the chair. I didn't realize until over an hour later. I called and I was so relieved to hear that Connie had found it and kept it safe for me. Nothing was missing. Connie is an Angel read more

Chef Kwan's, formerly Su Hong To Go, is a Menlo Park institution. I have been going for many years in both iterations. It's no fuss, straight forward, and fast. There are a few tables inside and outside in case you wanted to enjoy something on site. I would say the tables work best for the lunch specials that come in a single sectioned clamshell. The lunch specials are great-- choice of entree served with a Spring Roll, Vegetable Chow Mein, BBQ Pork Fried Rice or Steamed Rice. The portions are so generous I set aside half of it for lunch the next day. For a dinner spread, my party's order is any mix of the following: Combination Chow Mein, General's Chicken, Mu Shu Chicken, Walnut Prawns, Steamed and BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Spring Rolls, Pot Stickers and Cheese Won Tons. Occasionally there will be an off night. Sometimes a sauce is missing, sometimes the General's Chicken isn't as spicy as it should be considering the dish is labelled "hot" on the menu, sometimes the Chow Mein sauce is so savory and delicious and sometimes it's lacking. Given the volume of orders they produce, it really doesn't surprise me, so I don't let it keep me from being a returning customer. read more

Chef Kwan's - Cheese Won Ton, Spring Roll, General's Chicken, Combination Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Menlo Park, California

Horrible food . No sauce in pork spareribs, salt and pepper fish tasted really bland. Service was quick but not worth the quality of food

I coated their location lastnight 2/20/26 ordered over 100$ worth of food in person. Got home to eat and everything smelt bad at say the least I had one item that I didn't order, however, the quality of the food was terrible. How do you not cook the rice well? I waited over 15 mins and this was the service we got. Have been going here off and on for years, never have received this quality of food. read more

Best lunch meal. All the dishes are the best!! Affordable price. Nice staff. Good location. Quiet & busy place.

i ordered online on Doordash for a pickup order. When I arrived I asked if I could use the restroom while I waited for my order. The man at the front rudely told me that it was for customers only and not delivery drivers. Even if I was a delivery driver, it shouldn't matter. Completely unacceptable. The food otherwise is nothing worth mentioning. read more

Went in for a late lunch yesterday and ordered potstickers, orange peel chicken, and egg fried rice. Several people came in after me, ordered, and got their food. I understand enough that the kitchen had to be reminded about my food. After about 20 minutes my food arrives. I take it back to work. The potstickers were covered in a thick dough and inedible, the orange peel chicken was coated in a goopy sauce. The chicken was overcooked and tough to chew. The egg fried rice was decent. But for $31 it was just bad. Man it makes me miss Su Hong! Save your money, go someplace else! read more

The best Chinese food! I've been coming here forever. The Chinese Chick Salad is one of my go to's. So is the Chick Chow Mein and fried rice too! It's so hard to sit in the car with the food on the drive home, yummy! read more

Food is consistently excellent. Great take-out place. My favorites are the Chinese chicken salad and bbq pork chow mien.

Service is fast! People who work there not so friendly. Food is just okay, but greasy. read more

I grew up on Su Hong and quite frankly I will always call it Su Hong regardless of its current name change. Bottom line is if you're looking for a consistently solid go-to Chinese food joint, Chef Kwans" is it. Will you have a panty splash/life changing food experience? No, this isn't Michelin star Chinese.... It's good, it's quick, and they never effff up the order. There's many staples on the menu to choose from, I promise that you won't be disappointed. read more

This is not the Su Hong restaurant any more folks! Don't waste your money here even if you have it to waste. This is average to below average food except for those who are taste disabled. Maybe a good punishment for a deserving person. My first and last visit to Chef Kwans found their food not at all delicious but simply edible, if you are really hungry. What a disappointment! Only two "dinner special" items where available. No rice with the entres. A big horse fly was busy between supervising the cooks and zestfully greeting patrons. Strangely there was not a delicious aroma emitting from the semi busy kitchen like good restaurants do. Papasoon thinks he is just the cat's pajamas exerting the "I'm so great attitude" for no apparent reason. I did not like my tasteless chicken chow mein. My friend ordered the chow mein and Mongolian beef which based on her facial expressions were not good. Never again? read more

Seems like you either love or hate this place. I grew up on Su Hongs (formally) and even would frequent the sister location that moved twice in Palo Alto back in the day. The headquarters is, and always will be, the Menlo Park location. Personally I love their combination chow fun. No one does it like them and its pretty incredible. Other note worthy items: Fried prawns, chicken salad, szechuan beef, and their hot and sour soup is actually pretty decent! I love the fact the same familiar faces take my order when I go there! It's an OG spot. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for decades. That includes when it was called Su Hong to go. Went in today to get a little dinner and the gentleman at the register was out and out rude. Very short, and gave you the distinct impression that he didn't wanna be there. The food is still very good, but no food is that good. I'm afraid that's the last time I go back. No, the gentleman was not Asian. read more

A chinese food spot in Menlo Park with affordable tasty food, friendly customer service, and quick food preparation. I like that the fried rice is not salty, I enjoyed that the entrees had an abundance of veggies which made the food taste that much better. I could almost imagine that I was eating healthy. Definitely coming back! read more

Convenient location Delicious Chinese cuisine All dishes made to order Dine in or food to go Top choice in town read more

I've been getting the sizzling rice soup and generals chicken here basically my entire life. I hope it never changes.

There is no better pork fried rice in all of the Bay Area! I'm very picky but they get it right everytime.

Lunch time was thinking this place was at least ok but starting with their lack of customer service and also food no good The restaurant looks dirty and no one seems to care about anything Disappointing read more

Chef Kwan's - No customer service even when the place is empty took a long time to be served - Chinese Near Me - Menlo Park, California

I ordered beef with vegetables and rice. When I got home hungry and opened the carton which was support to have beef and vegetable only contained vegetables. Also the receipt show the price but not what you ordered making it difficult to dispute the order. I suggest you check your order is correct when you pick up. $17.99 for vegetable and rice! I won't be going back there. read more

Last night, we ordered to go and Chef Kwan's delivered. Literally. Let's see, first up, veggie stir fry with ham, curry chicken, veggie with tofu and chicken with chili pepper. White and brown rice were summoned as well. These guy's produce to go with veggies cooked al-dente; not sure how they do it. Each dish had crunchy veggies, tasty slices of mushrooms and plump meat. It was good tasting and my tummy was happy afterward; even next day, the food tasted good after a short micro burst. I was surprised. For to go food, it was pretty good. read more

Worst food ever. NO STARS. The ONLY thing I ate all day (I know it came from this for a fact!) because I was with my mom at Stanford ER. I rushed over to grab some food while she went in. Here I am at 12:35 am, v*mitting, with d*arrhea. Didn't finish the plate. I KNEW something tasted off. Worst f*cking food ever. read more

I ordered takeout from here a couple of weeks ago while visiting family. This place used to be the beloved "Su Hong" restaurant, known for their delicious Chicken Salad and other great dishes. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. We ordered the Chicken Salad, Fried Rice, Pot Stickers, and Chicken with Snow Peas. The Chicken with Snow Peas and Pot Stickers were so inedible (tasting like rubber) that they went straight into the trash. The Chicken Salad and Fried Rice were the only dishes that were somewhat edible. I won't be ordering from here again. It's a shame that the quality and standards of cooking and ingredients aren't what they used to be at Su Hong. read more

Much worse than the Chinese takeout that preceded it. Really bad food. Even Panda Express is better. By the way this is NOT Su Hong. It's in the same buildings they were in but it's different owners and chefs. Not at all the same. read more

This is our "go to" for Chinese takeout. They are fast, fairly priced and good food. Some of our favorites on repeat are spring rolls, pepper beef, chicken with garlic, schezuan chicken, Chinese chicken salad, Wo won ton soup, and hot and sour soup read more

Their Chicken Salad is consistently good, but was disappointed with the Chicken w Broccoli, It was processed, "sandwich" style chicken. If they can use real chicken in the salad why not the hot dishes? Hot & Sour soup and spring rolls are really good also. read more
