We ordered take-out Christmas evening. On the phone, it was warned that take-out orders were backed up and might take up to an hour. Wasn't a deterrent for us. We got our food and it did not disappoint. Appreciate the service. Order reviewed: Sesame Chicken Moo Shu Chicken Spring rolls Crab Rangoon read more

Had lunch here with my wife. The food was amazing and authentic. Our waitress was fast and very helpful. The restaurant itself looks a little dated but I can deal with that for great Chinese food. read more

They've gone downhill. I used to get them a lot in the 90s and they were great. Had a bad experience several years ago and hadn't been back. Ordered today to give them another chance and it was even worse. There's a reason they are cheaper than other similar places. The general tso's chicken is over 90% gristle. It's like they bought the leftover trimmings from another restaurant where they trimmed off all the inedible parts and used all the good stuff for their customers and sold the nasty bits off to Chef Wang's. I WISH I was exaggerating. Even my kids who normally eat nearly anything said it was horrible. The sweet and sour soup was neither sweet nor sour. I had to load it up with black pepper and salt for it to have any flavor at all. Super bland. Even the crispy wontons that came with the soup were extremely bland and I've NEVER had bad ones anywhere unless they were stale. These weren't stale, just bland as heck. The fried rice was extremely bland but edible. I will never eat here again. read more

Ordered the shrimp with lobster sauce on door dash. It was egg drop soup with little tiny shrimp in it. I have ordered shrimp with lobster sauce many times at other Chinese restaurants and this was not it. Awful. So disappointed. Will not order from this restaurant again read more

The food is okey. The servers seam to be very unhappy and do not understand customer service. The ambiance is fine nothing special. read more

So Good! I ordered the general tso with Steamed rice was and it was delicious! Also the wontons with duck sauce was BUSSIN!

We ate here for the first time the other night. There were only two people working up front (one seating and taking Togo orders and one waitress). The waitress was busy but friendly. Our food came out very quickly and everything tasted great! read more

See all

Went here today at lunch time with my mother. We saw a roach on the wall. We continued to eat but it definitely bothered us the entire time. The food was hot and came out super fast but he took forever with the check. It was fairly empty but the restaurant just was not clean & the cockroach very well proved that. read more

They get 3 stars, not because of their food but because of customer service - specifically their delivery method. I've ordered here frequently. I've never dined in so I wonder how that experience would be. I've ordered multiple times with coworkers for delivery. There's usually 4 or 5 of us ordering. They're disorganized when delivering. There needs to be some type of system so we don't spend almost 10 minutes sorting the tickets out to pay. Maybe write names down when you take the orders or assign numbers and keep them organized. Something has to give. On one occasion I had an employee argue with me when he got my order wrong. This was an order for one person so wasn't complicated at all. I order the same thing every single time. I don't expect an argument when calling to report an issue with my order. That was unnecessary and definitely not appreciated. Lastly, whatever timeframe they give they generally don't adhere to. I frequently find myself calling to see where my order is bc it's 15-20 minutes passed when they said the food would be there. They hold the orders until they have multiple to send the driver with. I will say that even with the huge delay that my food has never been cold. read more

Good food and service They are short handed but still had my order when I walked in quickly, read more

Good service! Food came out fast and hot! Great portion for the price! I recommend this place!

Most authentic chinese food in Hall County. Been eating here since a kid and the cuisine is just as good. The owner is a very nice and an outgoing person. The food is great. You can't go wrong with their sesame chicken wings or their egg drop soup. Never too loud and a great place to relax. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered a variety of dishes for three people. Everyone was very happy with their order. Mine was spicy Chinese beef with vegetables, and I have to say I thought the dish was exceptionally well-made. The sauce was hearty and hot, but not over-the-top spicy, And the vegetables were plainly fresh and cooked enough, but not too much. The broccoli was fresh-tasting, and the mushrooms were great, just cooked enough. This is my go-to for Chinese food in Gainesville. read more

Really good food for a decent price but the service is a little slow. Would recommend if you have time and are looking for a good place to eat. read more

Food was tasteless. Friendly people though. No bar service. Doesn't appear as though dining room was open.

delicious chinese food and excellent service. The sizzlin rice soup for 2 was delicious and egg rolls were yummy. Hubby had mongolian beef and I had sweeet n sour chicken. All was very good. Go to eat with them if you want good chinese food........ read more

Some of the best Chinese food in Gainesville. Service is always good, the two ladies who serve are always nice and straight to the point, no awkward small talk or forced nice-ness. read more

I love this place, their fried rice is so tasty, I could not forget it after tasting it.

Great selection of Chinese food and fast service with very friendly staff very spacious sitting here

We've been getting delivery from Chef Wang for at least 3 years now. It is always hot and very fresh. The price is super reasonable and the people are very nice, helpful and polite. Our grandkids say we have better Chinese than at home. I agree. I highly recommend Chef Wang's. read more

The WORST food! We spent $50 for delivery General Tso's chicken- but it was NOT like any chicken I ever saw in my life, like some brown pieces mixed with some doughy filler, shaped like meatballs. Couldn't eat it. Really mad I spent all that money and only could ear the rice. 100 thumbs down. read more

I love their Tangerine Beef ... the family loves the Shrimp and Veg or the Chicken and Veg. The place looks empty, like a dingy strip-mall type of place past its heyday ... but appearances can be deceiving. They do a booming job in carry-out, and at certain times of the evening, the dining room is packed. Very reasonable prices, and great food. read more

Not good at all what I would call good food. The chicken I had was over cooked to the point of being chewy and the sauces are overly salted and sweetened. Their fried noodles were very greasy and also over cooked to the point the flavor tasted off. The decor was old and in desperate need of updating. Staff was quite friendly but service was slow. It takes for ever to get a refill. Since there are much better Chinese restaurants in Gainesville, I would suggest you skip this place. read more

Good chinese food at a good price. Go at lunch and you can get a lot of food for the price you pay. Friendly staff and service is quick.

I ordered fried potstickers and the Dragon and Phoenix combo w/ white rice. The chicken in Dragon and Phoenix was delicious and plentiful. The shrimp came like I had never experienced it before, in some red sauce in what looked like soup. Also, there was only about 5-6 medium sized shrimp, which is flat out unacceptable. The potstickers were bland and very gummy for "fried". If anyone knows of a better takeout place in Gainesville, please make it aware on Yelp! read more

Alright so I've been driving by this place and keep seeing a lot of cops there, I figure if the cops eat there it must be good, right? Meh. I had chicken cashew and Mongolian Beef. Both dishes were sweet and that was about it. No flavor. Mongolian beef is supposed to be spicy, this just tasted like hoisin sauce dumped onto it with some onions, that were virtually flavorless. The cashew chicken was the same way, but it's supposed to be sweet, however there was just way too much sauce. You couldn't even taste the celery and carrots in it. The cashews could have been cooked a bit longer as well. The best thing here is the fried wontons they bring to you as you're waiting. I'm noticing a trend of almost every restaurant in Gainesville serving, tortilla chips or bread or something fried while waiting. The restaurant is a bit worn down, we sat in a booth and the girl sitting in the seat behind me was kind of playing pushing war with me as we both leaned against the seats they would lean against the person sitting directly behind you. Probably won't visit again. read more

Good simple Chinese. Ask for white meat when you order. Delivery is always fast and the food is always hot!

Food is always fresh and delicious. Delivery is always polite and hot. The owners are super nice and the service is good.

This is some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. I usually go for the General Tso's Chicken, but I've had numerous dishes here and they are all top-notch. The service is very attentive, and if you go for lunch, which comes with your entrée, soup, rice, and either egg roll or crab rangoon, the value can't be beat. Every time I'm in town visiting my family, I make it a point to come here. If I could only eat one meal out in Gainesville, it would be here! read more

Be careful ordering delivery from this restaurant. They will charge you for food and not deliver all of it. When you call to try to get them to correct it they will argue with you. Make sure you check your order against what you paid for. The delivery will not give you a receipt. I was cheated out of half of my order. Please do not steal from me. read more

The food is always good here. Sesame chicken and veggie lo mien are must every time I visit. Been coming for years! Service is fast too. It's a no frills Chinese restaurant. read more

Fit at the counter had a bad attitude when icame to pick up my lunch. The chicken is good but the sauce is unlike any general tsao I've had before. I can't tell if the chicken was burnt or if the sauce was burnt. Big qualify meat but the seasoning was off. The fried rice was OK but very little vegetables in the rice. The only truly enjoyable part of the lunch special was the egg roll. That was fresh and tasty. read more

I was not happy with the food at all... Just did not taste well to me .. I would not come back .. The prices are good but the food not so much !!!! Sorry just was not happy with it !!! I have had a lot better !!! read more

Used to be good, but now not only was the food greasy and tasteless, but owner is either in denial or just doesn't care. Food for six came out over a 10 minutes instead of together. Had to ask for duck sauce and mustard for our egg rolls and was charged for 2 pots of tea becaise I shared the one pot with my wife. No apologies from owner. He was there for 20 years and that's all that matters to him. Bet he won't be there 20 months from now with that attitude. Waitress never asked if we needed anything or if all was OK. My wife ended up returning her meal - I wish I'd done the same as I am now sick to my stomach. read more

My co worker and I both ordered food from here and had it delivered today to us at our place of employment. The delivery guy with glasses was so rude! When my co worker was asking which receipt was hers to sign he snapped the receipt from her hands and slammed it on his side of the counter and then gave her her receipt and slammed it down in front of her and said here this is yours sign!! My co worker snapped back at him telling him that HE WAS BEING RUDE AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! We also said he wasn't getting a tip either! My co worker called the restaurant back and talked to the lady complaining of what happened and all the lady could say was yes yes yes no IM SORRY OR LET ME GET YOU SOMETHING FOR YOUR BAD EXPERIENCE NOTHING!!! We told her that we were going to write a bad review and to thank him for it! Foods good and hot but the employees are rude and unprofessional!!! read more

The best chinese food in gainesville, no one really dines in, and I now know why, the only waitress there is very rude, left her a $3 tip and I guess she wanted more so she turned around and yelled some thing in chinese to me as I walked out the door. It was probably and insult, she look very mad when I turned around. Other than her the food is the best, best just to carryout read more

Dinner entrees include soup or egg / spring roll. We made the mistake of ordering 2 entrees for the 2 of us ... plenty of food for 4... and excellent! Top notch ingredients, prompt friendly service. When we arrived about 6PM there were only 2 other couples, but it filled quickly. Clearly a lot of take-out biz. Conveniently located across Pearl Nix from Lakeshore Mall. Move this one to the top of your list. read more

The place used to have awesome food but tonight everything was bland or had a burnt taste. The duck sauce tasted like it came from an old can. We mentioned this to the staff and had no response. Unfortunately, we will be looking for another place to enjoy oriental cuisine. :( read more

The food is hit and miss, the nights that it's good it is well worth the price. Delivery is really fast. Only two complaints. First if you call in expect to be put on hold for ten minutes or longer, one night I had to call back 3 times because I kept getting hung up on. Second is the chow mein, not an expert in the Asian languages but I'm pretty sure they are supposed to be stir fried noodles. Ordered it once and received a repulsive bowl of sprouts and cabbage. The owner argued with me about it and would not replace my dish even though I did not want it. Overall this place is ok and since there is a lack of competition in the area we don't have much of a choice of where to go for Chinese food. read more
