We placed an order and when we got home the chicken with mixed vegetables, had no chicken in it! I called the restaurant and told them. Instead of offering to replace it and deliver a new one, I had to request a refund, which they said would be a credit. The food was mediocre! Obviously there's a different owner. Time to find a new Chinese Restaurant! read more

This place is very good. The woman at the front desk does everything to make you happy and the food is great. I would recommend this Asian Restaurant to anyone looking for decent Asian cuisine. read more

Always get wonton soup and dumplings when I don't feel great sooo good there wonton soup is absolutely top tier! delicious! And loveeeeee the egg rolls read more

We're from out of town visiting family. Found this on a mapping app and gave it a try. Food was really tasty. Order was ready when we picked it up and still hot when we got back to where we are staying. Portions were ample. I couldn't finish mine so it went in the fridge for later. I thought the pricing was good. We would go here again and would recommend it to,others. It is really more of a take out place. We only counted three tables. read more

The Best Chinese food in Bristol. Been ordering here for years and Zoey is wonderfull. Don't order anywhere else this is the place Thank you China Chef. read more

Worst place ever. I would not order food. When I moved here 6 years ago. I tried it. It was disgusting. I tried it again just two weeks ago and the food has not changed. There's no flavor. The I tried sweet and sour chicken and also honey chicken. It was disgusting greasy and I just don't know what to say. They just was no flavor. I would not recommend it to anybody. I don't care how hungry you are. Do not eat there read more

Terrible! Staff were rude, and my general tsao chicken came out raw! Told me I was wrong, that they cooked it to temp. Never come here!

Love their food. Ordered Veg Egg Foo Young and it was OUTSTANDING! Also Hot and Sour soup was great too. Could be a little bit spicer - but i added Hot Chili Oil. Plan to order about once a week. read more

really really really small portions !!!!! really really overpriced!!!!! really very disappointed..... this place is fuqin horrible!!!!!! my order. was hardly big enough to feed a single person!! the staff are rude and obviously do not like white americans!!! do not eat here read more

Wasn't bad for generic Chinese food. Boneless spare rib is a must. Egg foo young was very salty. They shouldn't pour the sauce into in it, it should be on the side. Hot and sour soup was ok not the best. I ordered online and was very convenient instead of calling. Ordering online is the way to go. read more

See all

Okay - the good - Delivery was on time, the driver was wicked nice & the order was 100% correct & it was hot! I appreciate good service so that right there is 2 stars! Okay, now onto "the ugly" which is a pretty accurate description of the food from my experience. The vegetable fried dumplings were tasteless & the sauce for dipping them in should have fixed that issue but it just wasn't my lucky night. The dumpling sauce was truly gross & it seemed to be nothing but soy sauce with lots of salt added if you can even imagine that. (Inedible entirely) The spring rolls were also bland & tasteless & a touch overdone. My husband ordered a spicy chicken dish that he said wasn't spicy & it was not what he was expecting given the lack of "heat". Overall, just a pretty crappy, lackluster meal. I really hate writing bad reviews unless I tried to rectify any issues to no avail but in this case, the food was really not good & there isn't much they can fix (their recipes are about it) based on the meal I had. It just wasn't good. read more

Decided to give China Chef another chance last night. We ordered a few simple appetizers and egg rolls. Nothing difficult. The shrimp rolls were literally swimming in grease. When I took one out, oil poured out all over my plate and was still puddled in the bottom of the bag. I had to wrap the rolls in paper towels and let them sit before they were at all edible. The rest of the food was ok, typical Chinese take-out. Nothing special. read more

My wife and I ordered General Taos chicken and boneless spare ribs with pork fried rice. Everything was delicious and it even came early!

This is the best Chinese food I've had since I moved to Connecticut! It sucks that it took 2 years to Find this place but I'm grateful that I have. read more

I called when everyone else said that they weren't delivering but these guys stepped up and did food was perfect hot and delicious!

Let me start to say that I believe they have good steamed dumplings. It used to be further complimented by a sweet and sour dipping sauce that turned them into the best around. For some reason, the sauce is now just a salty soy type sauce. Another good point is they will substitute the rice for brown rice. Delivery is always on time and the food will satisfy your cravings. read more

It would be so helpful if someone who understands English better would take the orders so they can be correct. Also they put way too much sauce on things but when you try to tell them to lighten up they don't understand. read more

Not good. Food was sub par and the employees are rude. Ordered the sesame chicken and it tasted like ketchup chicken. My wife had the beef and broccoli and ate 2 bites and threw it out. Very disappointed read more

I ordered Sesame Cold noodles and it was delicious. they had some bite to them and a little kick. also ordered steamed dumplings. the filling was on the tangy side and the sauce was on point. read more

China Chef has, at least in my opinion, the best Chinese takeout in Bristol. Everything that I've gotten there has been pretty good. And as is mostly the case with Chinese takeout places, the food is always pretty good but never really great. I do specify Chinese takeout because there is at least one Chinese buffet in town with a larger selection, but I consider to be a different category of restaurant. My personal favorite there is the sesame chicken, which gives a nice additional crunch to the standard General Tso's chicken you can find at literally every Chinese place in the country. Overall, not the best food that you've ever eaten, but probably the best Chinese takeout in town! *One additional side note that has nothing to do with the quality of their food but somewhat annoyed me about the place. I used to work at the ShopRite in that plaza, and the workers at China Chef would always steal our shopping carts to put their trash in even though managers and other associates repeatedly told them to stop. Shopping carts are surprisingly expensive (a few hundred dollars) and the few times we get some of the 5 (or more) carts back from them that they would have at one time, they would be absolutely filthy and smelled like grease and Chinese food. In order to perhaps try and be sneaky about it, the workers would send a small, maybe 8 or 9 year old child, to try and poach some of the shopping carts and bring them to their restaurant. Again, that was totally random and has nothing to do with my rating of the place, I just thought it was a funny story to add. read more

I've been to China Chef a couple of times. Each time was not a disappointment. There are certain things that leave a little to be desired. The food: Ordered general tso's combo. Sesame chicken combo. Crab rangoons. Boneless spare rib combo. Steam dumplings. Everything tasted wonderful. Definitely better than most Chinese places around. The general tso's, although tasted VERY GOOD as not cooked enough. All the chicken was a bit soggy. It should have a crisp to it. The steamed dumplings were tasty and cooked well. The soy sauce that came with them had bits of fresh ginger in it. Very nice touch. Lastly, the boneless spare ribs were amazing. Well cooked. Slightly caramelized. Flavor spot on. Best I've had. Oh, the pork fried rice. Not greasy. Lots of flavor. Really happy overall. The service was really nice. Everyone seemed friendly. Quick and accurate with the order taking. No complaints there. One thing of note. Others who actually enjoy the presence of children may not mind their little girl floppin around and making noise. We, on the other hand, find children to be quite annoying when they aren't behaving. And although she was acting OK I really don't feel I should have to stand there and listen to them discipline their child. It's just an irritation that could easily be avoided. Luckily I'm all about take out and only had to deal with it while waiting and not while eating dinner. Very big difference and this won't effect me going back. Lastly, prices. Everything came up to $32. Not bad for all the food that was ordered. read more

Best Chinese food in Bristol. You can order and pay online now too! Fast delivery and I've never had a bad dish from this place! I've been eating their food for years but finally decided to give them a yelp review. Order here you won't regret it! read more

I love the china chef in Hamden so I was a little disappointed in the quality of the food here. The chicken was too over cooked but the rice was good, the egg roll also delicious. The prices are good, and take out times are quick. I'll have to give them another try.... read more

We just moved to the area and decided to try something new then our usual.. this place is your ordinary Chinese takeout, nothing special. The dishes lacked flavor and sauce, food was over cooked and they messed up the order. What drew me in was the coupon, not worth it. I won't be back. read more

Absolutely delicious food! I always order delivery, and it is fast, delicious, and affordable! Really good sized portions too! - I usually order the chicken with broccoli combo and ask for a spring roll, their house duck sauce is delicious, and pork fried rice isn't bland. I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone in the Bristol area looking for a delicious Chinese food restaurant! read more

The food was hot and delicious! I loved their lunch menu. There's a lot to choose from, at a great price.

I am not a Chinese food fan...but this place wasn't bad. This past Saturday a bunch of the fam got together and ordered take out from this spot. Food was fresh and tasty. I really liked their chicken fingers and their steamed chicken and vegetable...stuffed to the gills with veggies and a hefty helping of broccoli which I adore. I would order from them again, although it is not my first choice since I am spoiled by Great Taste in my hometown. Overall decent though. read more

We ordered again. Not good. The quality was not as good as the first time. The egg roll was even more disappointing than the first time. The rest of the meal was less than average. The only thing that was good was the packaging and the accurate time given for delivery. I will not be ordering from here again. Inconsistent and not worth the money. read more

Good food and cheap. I've been coming here since it opened in 2004 and have yet to have a meal worth complaining about. For a local, decent Chinese food restaurant, I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

Only Chinese take out I order! The food is Always amazing and never takes long to get here!

To begin this review I need to describe my experience attempting to get food from China Chef through BringMeThat, while I don't hold this against China Chef I do want to inform people so they can avoid similar experiences. I first ordered on a Friday night, after having waited literally two hours I contacted BringMeThat's costumer service who informed me (much to my frustration) that "someone had called the restaurant and cancelled my order". I never received notification of the fact that I was waiting for food that was never coming and who knows if I would have even gotten my refund if I hadn't talked to them. I really wanted to order their chicken with oyster sauce and their almond chicken since they sound similar to my favourite Canadian Chinese dish of almond soo gai which I have been unable to locate an equivalent dish for in America. As such I attempted to order from them again the next day, a representative from BringMeThat called me a few minutes later saying that the restaurant no longer served chicken with oyster sauce and asked for a replacement I went with almond chicken, minutes later another call the restaurant was out of almonds, so I went with general Tso's chicken. After an hour of waiting (they said it would be 40 minutes from when the order was finally confirmed) I checked to make sure the same thing as the previous night wasn't happening again, it was not and my food arrived after two and a half hours (from confirmation, three hours from the placement of my order online).. Their fried rice was the best I've had of the Chinese restaurants in Bristol I've tried so far, 4/5. The egg roll was not very good, 2/5. The fried dumplings were small and quite good, 4/5. The beef with Hunan was decent, 3/5. Their general Tso's chicken was the worst I've had in Bristol so far (likely due to how long it took to get here), 2/5. If I were to order from them again I would see if it was possible to order using the restaurant's own delivery service rather than BringMeThat and I would want to try their crispy beef and almond chicken. read more

The pork fried rice tasted like cigarettes. Dont ask me how. It was truely bizzare. Not much else can be said. Simply horrible.

They have rice that is always cooked to perfection. No complaints on their food, and the woman behind the counter is always friendly and provides fast service. The general tso chicken is a little soupy for my liking, but the flavor is excellent. read more

Their sesame wantons are amazing! I highly recommend them! I have never had an issue with this place, reasonably priced, hot and tasty.

Had delivery,food was hot,order was exact,wings,noodles,,egg rolls,veggies,dumplings were different but delicious, all good.delivery was quick.dont use the on line....useless,just call. We will call them again.delivery dude was cool,seemed ti enjoy his job and people. read more

I dont know if the business changed ownership, but the food was subpar. The Lo Mein was made with American pasta and the beef teriyaki was sickening. This place use to be the best around. Going elsewhere read more

This is my favorite Chinese place around. The food always tastes fresh and is always really hot.

This WAS the best Chinese food place in the area. The keyword is WAS. We ordered $50 worth of food and not $5 was edible. The kids were spitting out the beef and broccoli, also the Szechuan chicken and the general Tso's were like rubber. It was the worst food I've ever paid for. Of the 3 people who ate it, all three were stomach sick within 30 min. The sweet and sour sauce was jello, never seen that. We even microwaved it for 1.5 minutes and it was still jello. We wouldn't let our 8 year old eat it. When I brought it back to the restaurant and asked for my money back I was told no way. She, the owner, asked what was wrong. I told her the beef was inedible also the chicken was inedible. I told her the lo mein chicken was like eating a salt lick. I also told her the three people who ate it were sick "want me to go get the water from the toilet" she said yes! Then she called the cops on me!!! All I wanted was my $50 back..... this place was awesome but now they will be getting a visit from the health department... read more
