Absolutely not. I wouldn't even consider this Chinese food. The egg rolls were frozen, the dumplings were fake, the lo mein was slimy, maybe the pork friend rice was the best thing they had going for them but even that didn't even have any flavor to it. It's a disgrace someone compared this to Single Pebble. I had to try it once since I drive by every day, but now I know it's not worth a second try. Suite yourself! read more

I have been going to Chef Leu's for over 25 years and I can honestly say its the best Asian food in Chittenden County. I have NEVER had a bad meal or a bad customer experience. Their food is timely and affordable. I love their crab rangoon, sesame chicken, and chicken lo-mein. As i got older I started eating their sushi which I love as well. They have delicious sushi specials. I love going there for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is cozy and it's fun to sit at the bar and get a cocktail. I'm sad that they are not currently offering dine-in. I used to live in Shelburne but now live in Burlington so I don't go there as often as I wish. I feel like if they opened a location in Burlington, they would do really well. I'm sort of shocked to see so many negative reviews. People who live in Shelburne and have been going to Chef Leu's for years know they are a great spot. I will be curious if anything changes under the new ownership. Hopefully not! read more

This is where we go for takeout and special days when we don't want to travel too far. Their menu meets our needs every time. The people are very nice and the food is perfect for what they are doing. We have never found a Chinese restaurant we like better. read more

This place is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the Burlington area. Everything on the menu is good, especially the sushi. They have a big menu, so it's hard to choose sometimes. Nice staff and fairly priced. read more

Chef Leu's is a quality Asian food experience with friendly and welcoming staff and beautifully renovated dining room. The food is delicious with many options, at a reasonable price too! Good beers on tap and great cocktails too. read more

Im Chinese and this is one of the worst Chinese restaurants Ive ever dined in. The food taste terrible and I could not even force myself to swallow any. I dont usually write reviews but this restaurant is way too fked up ！ read more

I ordered take out and it was excellent! Great quality sushi. I had yellow tail which was uniform in color and moisture, obviously freshly prepared, just as you'd expect. No shortcuts for volume sake and nothing "border line fresh." Miso soup was perfectly balanced, not to salty, salad was crisp and fresh. Very nice presentation, separation of rolls, sushi and ginger in the container. Hats off!!! read more

Lunch was one of the best bargains around. The specials are a complete meal... And I have respect when a Chinese restaurant provides a pot of tea at no extra cost. The taste of my chicken (hot/spicy) was first class. Good service. read more

Terrible service. Waitress didn't smile once. No free refills? Had a coupon and she didn't take it off the bill. Added an 18% gratuity WITHOUT my permission (and we were a small party. Food was good but not for the money they charged and the service they provided. read more

Torn between a 3 and 4, and the shrimp lo mein is what's tipping it to a 4 - super tasty, just the right amount of greasy. The chicken and broccoli though was pretty disappointing - clear watery sauce rather than the brown sauce that's typical with chicken and broccoli, and the broccoli was very mushy. They also gave me the tiniest thing of rice. I don't like that you can't choose between pint or quart sizes. I will say that inside is a very nice atmosphere with friendly service. read more

We went here on New Year's Eve. We were in town for a wedding. Only a 10 minute wait, an hour before closing with no reservations. Our meal was delicious and very reasonable. We started with the chefs special soup for two. Came with enough for two bowls for each of the two of us. My partner had chefs special crispy shrimp with red sauce which was declared very good. I had the mango shrimp which was the right mix of sweetness from the mango. Both meals included a larger than average amount of shrimp which was prepared perfectly. Our server was polite and personable even with us being the last of her tables for the night. The food was delivered very quickly. Our meal came before our soup was done. We don't drink alcohol but the tea was good I would recommend this restaurant to anyone living in or visiting the area. read more

We made the mistake of ordering from Chef Leu's this afternoon since our regular go to places were closed. I even noted that it was my mothers 65th birthday hoping to inspire the cook a bit. The food was tasteless, extremely greasy and the Buddha's Delight so unappealing to even look at, with soggy spongy tofu, one kind of mushroom (the dish boasted a variety of Chinese mushrooms) which was like chewing rubber. The sauce was thin and nothing to offset the dull green color of the dish. The spring rolls oozed grease and reheating them did not bring back any crispness. To top it off the prices was several dollars more than we normally pay elsewhere with the preparation and quality being far less. Regardless of the lack of choices during the pandemic, I would steer clear and save your money. read more

I just paid $20 for the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I am neither a snob or unreasonable. I have dined in both upscale and not in Chinatown in DC, NYC and Boston. I've had mall food better than this. Hot and Sour soup was mostly sour and had more unidentifiable vegetables than those you could. The "crispy noodles" which are not included and cost extra were soggy and stale. My chicken satay was a pile of mush. Overcooked vegetables that were mushy and drowning in a watery sauce. Although spicy as desired, completely lacking flavor. I ate very little and tossed the rest in the garbage. I cannot believe this restaurant has 5 stars when there are so many places in Burlington from which to choose. The menu in general was overpriced for casual dining- $4.20 for an egg roll?! Yikes. I want to know what was 5 star worthy and where those people are used to eating their Chinese food. read more

One of the best places to go for sushi! It's a family owned restaurant. The staff is always present and the food is amazing! My number 1 Chinese restaurant for sure read more

I have ordered take out both before and during COVID-19, getting some sushi as well as Chinese food each time (so awesome they offer both at one place!) and have not been disappointed once! I love going here and drive an hour round trip to pick up take out from Chef Leu's. The avocado salad is a must try if you like spicy California rolls! read more

Man, I hate writing bad reviews, but this one is totally deserved. The good: -Polite hostess and waitress -The tap water The bad: -Food was inedible. Just shockingly inedible. Sesame tofu was clearly previously frozen. It was tough and spongy and flavored only by the orange-ish sweet sauce it was smothered in. Pad Thai was (shaking my head as I type this) a fishy, rancid, smelly pile of rice noodles with some bean sprouts on the side. My significant other said the chicken in his was soggy (how is that even possible?) The boiled dumplings were a gummy mass that enveloped what looked like some sort of unidentifiable meat link. We left having barely eaten anything. We were asked if we wanted to-go containers. "No, we're good" was all I could muster. Dear GOD, the thought of that sitting in my car and then being reheated in the microwave at my house was more than I could handle. Not fresh, AT ALL. Not well prepared AT ALL. Clearly whoever compared this place to A Single Pebble, which is one of my favorite restaurants, was being paid, is an employee, or is a member of the owner's family because that comparison is absolutely sacrilegious and absurd. The tap water was the highlight of the meal and burning my $45 in a pu pu platter and eating the ashes would have been better tasting. Seriously. Will NEVER go back. read more

I love this place. Their prices are great and the portions are good. They also have the best-tasting (and biggest!) egg rolls around. Went with 2 friends and we ordered a pu pu platter for 3. It was more than enough food and all of it was fantastic. Great place to get food and drinks with friends. Would recommend! read more

Been here a few times as I keep hoping it will get better, but it doesn't. Food is fair, service is quick.

This will most likely be the last time I order from this place. My first order of beef and broccoli had an intense flavor and scent of ammonia (almost like urine to be blunt). I sent it back and once again received another order that had the similar flavor and odor. This is indictive of a restaurant that has poor hygiene practices. Unacceptable at every degree. Eat elsewhere. read more

My absolute favorite Chinese restaurant in Vermont. Yeah, I know it's not like the authentic Chinese food I had in China (which I really didn't care for) but for us Americans who are used to the Chinese food here, this is the best! read more

This review is based on the Peking duck alone. I'm not a big fan of the rest of the menu. I will say this is the best Chinese restaurant in the Burlington area next to A Single Pebble. The menu is geared towards Chinese American food rather than authentic Chinese. I haven't found another place that sells Peking duck and I used to order half of it then pick it up. The price is not cheap as a whole one will cost you a good penny but half isn't that bad. It comes with wrappers and green onions. The duck tastes fresh and also conveniently cut for you so it's easy to eat. Don't expect the duck to be too authentic either, but given that I'm not from Beijing, it was good for me. Besides the food, I do like the ambience of the place. It's small and comfortable. A Chinese family friend actually recommended it. I recommend skipping the rest of the meal and going for the delicious Peking duck. They also have a roasted duck option which I've never tried but always wanted to. read more

Ok I really really don't like to give one star or dislike a restaurant but I decided to give them a try tonight. I walked in. There was a Sushi chef working behind the bar. There was a loud sound like a bell when I entered so they could not miss my entrance. There was a guy at the bar. There was a few tables. I waited and waited and yes I looked at my phone and timed my wait. At 6 and one half minutes with no one coming I left the restaurant. The Sushi chef could have looked up and said we will be right with you but never acknowledged my presence by even looking at me. I will never be back so I can't talk about the food but their service is terrible read more

We love Chef Leu's. Their food is delicious, and take out is always ready very quickly. It's a little more expensive than most Chinese food, but it's definitely worth it. We highly recommend the beef teriyaki skewers, spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken, pretty much anything except the fried calamari. read more

I am very particular about my Japanese food. I find it difficult to find a good quality and great tasting choice when i am traveling. I was very satisfied with my meal at Chef Leu's. It was delicious and not too expensive. Good portion for the lunch size and it came with more sides than I was expecting. I will certainly return when I am in the area. read more

Some of the best Chinese food around although it is a little pricier. Have never gotten anything I didn't enjoy and they have a great selection of curry too. They also deliver and have one of the shortest wait times for delivery I have experienced. read more

The food at Chef Leu's is not what the one star is for, the service is. I have never in my entire life had worse service. I would never eat here again or recommend it to anyone. Warning...The owner does not like to honor gift certificates bc she claims they make no money off of them. The China Express up the road has just as good of food and they are able to provide you with good service. Try China Express! read more

Best for Lunch specials & takeout. Sushi is reeeeally good. Little pricey on the Japanese part of the menu. You get good portions though and their LoMien, Orange chicken, Sesame Chicken & MooGooGuiPan are on point. read more

We were staying at a hotel nearby and the front desk recommended this place. I was craving Chinese food and thought to give it a try. I ordered Foo Young and hubby ordered Pad Thai. My shrimp foo young came in three big pieces to my delight. But I was so disappointed. It's all flour, onion and maybe 2-3 pcs of shrimp. The sauce was like sweet and sour sauce! Way too sweet actually. No peanut sauce at all. We just came out of town and I felt so bad having that kind of food. My husband was not happy with his pad thai either. All noodles and too little chicken. The taste was the main thing though, the food didnt taste good at all. It was not even average. The only saving grace for us was the sashimi and sushi. Maybe it's a japanese restaurant! They should focus more on their japanese menu because the Chinese food was reallly reallly bad read more

Average chinese staples: meat plus veggie such as beef with broccoli. Every dish had cabbage which is a bit unusual compared to more traditional places in san Francisco snd LA. But everything was fresh. read more

0 stars. Old frozen food. Rancid all around... For the sake of the people of this world, shut it down. SHUT IT DOWN. Do not go here unless you enjoy old frozen food and want to feel god awful for the rest of the night. I have warned you. read more

Our favorite Chinese/ Japanese/ sushi joint in the Burlington area. Chinese options have all been tasty and not over cooked. Sushi is fresh, generously portioned and less expensive than other local restaurants. Has a nice decor, friendly service. Sometimes a bit of a wait to get food or attract a waiters attention but generally not too bad read more

Portions are huge, prices are more than fair and the food is fresh and delicious. Eaten in and ordered delivery. Quality is excellent weather eating in or in your own home. read more

I ordered from there and was dissatisfied. My chicken was fatty and I couldn't eat it. The only hint I ate was the rice.

Where to begin.....? Our party of nine was seated on time. It went downhill from there. The room we were in lacked any noise reduction features (lots of bare walls and ceiling)...thus it was really noisy. Service was very slow, poorly paced and inattentive: my dinner (a sushi order) came with a tasteless soup and a iceberg lettuce salad featuring little more than iceberg lettuce. That was served to me before the appetizers. We ordered two pu-pu platters. They were comprised of heavily-fat laden and foods, including massive chicken wings that appeared to have been recycled through multiple other dinings, as they were bone dry. Dinner started with two of us being served initially, only to have the rest of the meals served twenty minutes later. No kidding. Waitresses failed to check in on our meals or to refill water glasses. The meals themselves, achieved a reviews of poor to ok. We will not be back. read more

I absolutely love the sushi here - a big fan! Delicious, fresh and not as expensive as other places. However, I will say that I don't typically eat-in here. The atmosphere is not great, the decor is old, the tables are sticky and the bathrooms look like they haven't been painted or redone in forever. read more

Long time patron's, was my mother's favorite place to eat Chinese cuisine. Food is always good and lunch special is unbeatable. However, service is usually unpredictable. My sister and I were using an old gift certificate that was found cleaning out a desk, hostess/manager lady stared at it for nearly 5 minutes. It was rather uncomfortable. A gift certificate without an expiration date should not be confusing, it's paid for. read more

My husband and I were in the Burlington area for the weekend and Chef Leu's was right down the street from our hotel. We decided to check the place out after our concierge recommended it. The ambience inside the restaurant was very cozy and welcoming, and service was friendly and quick. Our waitress was more than willing to accommodate my husband when he asked for egg drop/wonton soup, even though it wasn't on the menu. My hot and sour soup was delicious and the broth was a perfect consistency. It was just what my throat needed, since I was fighting off a cold at the time. For our entrees, I ordered shrimp with garlic sauce and my husband got chicken and broccoli. The garlic sauce on my meal had an excellent flavor, but my husband was even more thrilled with his sauce, which was white, rather than the typical brown. He said the taste reminded him of a Chinese restaurant he used to visit as a kid in New Jersey. That place is no longer in business and my husband says he's never found Chinese food that compared to its quality...until now. The only disappointment about our Chef Leu's meal is that we live 5 hours away from Burlington and can't easily go back whenever we want. Who knew we'd have to go all the way to Vermont to find such delicious Chinese food, when there are so many Asian restaurants right in our own backyard?! We'll definitely make Chef Leu's a part of future trips up that way! read more

Great food, my favorite Chinese restaurant in the entire state. Owners and staff are especially helpful in recommending a meal if you're overwhelmed by the huge selection of Chinese, Thai, or Japanese dishes they offer. I strongly suggest the fried or steamed dumplings. read more

Terrible service, TERRIBLE sushi. I'm no snob about it either, but I couldn't even finish mine because I was afraid I would get sick. My moms broccoli beef was mediocre, too. read more

Great place to hang out and chill with your family. They have sushi and it is really good. If you live in Shelburne it's a lot fast to come and get sushi than driving all the way to Koto's and their prices are reasonable and they are really good. I strongly recommend the Sushi boat for 2 and the Thai Curry. read more
