We ordered the Kung Poa chicken and the broccoli and beef and both of us developed food poisoning within the hour.

I usually get Mongolian beef or cashew chicken and it is made fresh to order every time. I like my beef well done and spicy and this restaurant accommodates and executes my additions. The egg rolls are fabulous and flavorful as well!! read more

Got takeout from here. Food is pretty poor for this kind of establishment -- as a big prominent of American Chinese food I was quite disappointed. Pricey, too, at $9 for rice, chicken and an egg roll served in disappointingly small portions Something like Red Bowl blows this place out of the water. Not terrible, but consider other options for takeout. read more

Very disappointed with their offering of Shrimp Lo Mein. First of all - the shrimp was breaded ! One does not put breaded shrimp in Lo Mein. The noodles were dry, sticky and tasteless. They were tasteless because - no sauce! Just a hint of sauce really. Lastly - I counted six shallots, and five peaces of cabbage! All this for $10! I am dishonored by their lack of quality . read more

I love this place and will forever drive out of my way to get here. It's hard to beat the taste!

Food is always good when ordering on line and with spicy dishes the will make it hotter if you want

The location is convenient, the food is good, but the sauces have been quite runny and the beef wasn't very flavorful. The hour and sour soup was delicious and I'll definitely go back and try some other dishes. read more

Long story short: the food is oily, not fresh, frankly nauseating. The dining room is dirty and the staff not professional. I'm not exaggerating, there is absolutely no reason to purchase food from this restaurant. You would have a more satisfying experience buying from the Meijer frozen section and selecting a bag of Chinese skillet meal. You would save money, too. read more

It's been over a year since my family and I have gotten take out from here. We've ordered several times in the past and have always enjoyed it. We were very disappointed to see how much the quality went down. We ordered a couple orders of sesame chicken (I've always ordered this) and it was about 90% breading. Some of the pieces didn't even have chicken inside. What chicken was there was very dried out and it was just drowning in sauce so was so soggy. Both the rice and egg rolls had a funky flavor that I cannot describe. Both my son and I took a couple of bites and could not even stomach it, it was so bad. We've never experienced this with any meal before. The restaurant, from what I could see upon pick up was filthy and did not appear to be very well taken care of. I'm shocked the health department hasn't shut this place down. We will not be going back. read more

We hadn't ordered Chinese food in a long time so decided to do so from China Chef. They're take out process is so safe during this uncertain time. No contact except passing of food through a low window. I paid by credit card over the phone. Everything was delicious and huge portions. We ordered for five people and had a variety of dishes. The crab cheese appetizer was delicious. We also had lo mein , fried rice, General Tso chicken, sweet and sour chicken and Szechuan combo. Everyone enjoyed it!! They gave us plenty of cookies and sauces. They are doing it right. read more

Wrong orders not recommended! much better places in the local community around very overpriced as well.

I've always loved their vegetable egg foo young... Always repeatably delicious. Very generous portion as most Chinese meals are.

I randomly ordered from here on Uber Eats and ended up loving everything I ordered. I really like the dim sum and steamed dumpling appetizers as well as the Pepper Steak. Everything is appropriately priced in my opinion. You also get a decent amount for the price, which is always a win in my book! read more

I have never been disappointed. Friendly staff great food!! I love the almond chicken and the crab cheese...yummy!

The only thing good about my visit was the egg roll . They got my order completely wrong. I asked for roasted pork in my fried rice and they gave me slabs of roast meat. I ordered the sesame chicken combo and it was liquidity and runny with soggy chicken. Definitely won't order from them again. Unless it's an egg roll. read more

Been going there forever. I moved to NY about 15yrs ago and every time I come back I get something. Just as good as NY Chinese food! I really hope this place sticks around forever. I love the food and I get to relive childhood memories eating in the dining area as it hasn't been updated in a long time. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing but I like it. Very quaint read more

Simply amazing food. The shrimp fried rice was delicious and fresh. Large portions. The sizzling rice soup hit the spot.

10/10 would recommend!! We try a ton of restaurants, Chinese and Thai included in GR and this food is SPOT ON DELICIOUS. Hot and sour soup, crab Rangoon, egg rolls, dim dum, and egg foo young are fresh and tasty. They had a line out the door but still delivered on time. We will be back!! read more

I am a frequent customer of China Chef, being a fan of their Kung Pao tofu. I always get my food to go and am never disappointed in portions or freshness. I just like my tofu to be a bit crispier than how it's done here. Family also enjoys their seafood dishes, and if you're a fan of yummy crab rangoons, this is a must!! read more

Very poor.... I'm pretty sure the pork in my chow Kevin was green, and it tasted at least 3 weeks old. Like rubber. This was bad enough that had it been done in I would have thrown the food at someone and demanded a refund. I've had better Chinese food from street vendors in Canada... read more

I honestly do not think I can put into words how much me and my roommate love this place. We have ordered chinese 4 times the last week and a half and it never disappoints. We have told our friends and they say that it is outstanding. If I could swear I would say that it is f-ing magnificent. read more

Uber eats review. Overall it was ok. Cashew chicken was extremely over cooked and mangled. Fortune cookie was old and not crunchy, ended up throwing away. Egg drop soup was externally thick. I've had a lot of egg drop soup and it should be a thicker soup, but this was an extreme. Everything was edible and ok. I wouldn't go back here a second time. read more

huge portions and great quality and customer service. very accommodating to vegetarians

This hole in the wall gem is a proud part of Lake Michigan Dr establishments. This place is family owned and is very passionate about everything they do. The prices are affordable and the servings are great! You won't be dissatisfied! read more

When I found this place six months ago, I was so thrilled. Mai fun?! Scallion pancakes?! Good food reliably?? I had finally found my new neighborhood Chinese place, and I was in takeout heaven. And then the restaurant shut down during the beginning of the Covid outbreak when the shelter order was in effect. And... when they re-opened, something was off. Their dishes all taste like old recycled oil. Like it sat overnight from the day before and just got heated again in the morning. The items in my orders are often undercooked, overcooked, or both. My last order of scallion pancakes was so messed up it hurt my tooth to bite what is supposed to be a soft and chewy, slightly crispy, savory pancake. The egg rolls were weirdly gross and dark on the inside, and everything just tasted... bad. Vegetables all overcooked, just almost a 180 from the food they were making a few months ago. I really hope they can get it together and return to the cooling they were known for. Otherwise it's going to be a huge disappointment and trying to find somewhere else to go. read more

DON'T GONIF YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES. Been going here for years, never had any issues bedsides their attitude. Have gotten the same thing on numerous occasions. Never had an issue. Ordered the sweet and Sour combo. On the recent of orders there was a shrimp mixed in. Which wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that there was a fish allergy. Causing a severe reaction. I called (politely) and told them. They then in return instead of saying "thank you for letting us know" they were rude once again. Telling me that it has always come with it. I then go to look at the menu, and it is the only option with out a description on the website. read more

China Chef - Chinese Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

While eating I swallowed a sharp chicken bone which got stuck in my throat. I ended up coughing it up with a large amount of blood after about 10 minutes. I returned to the store with the food, receipt, and the bone to let them know what happened and to receive a refund. The cashier talk to the owner and they only refunded 1/2 the bill because I ate half of the food. I asked for the owner and I was told that isn't possible because he doesn't speak english. After more failed attempt to reason with him I accept the 1/2 refund and left. To top it off the food was not good at all. read more

My wife and I moved into Standale about a month ago and have since eaten at 3 Chinese restaurants in the immediate area (Great China Inn, Fu Garden, and China Chef). China Chef has been the best. We've eaten there twice. It's not a ritzy place, but it's solid Chinese takeout. We have had all of the American Chinese staples: General Tso's, orange chicken, Sweet and sour chicken, crab rangoons, and potstickers. The entrees were what I hoped and expected (if only a little to sweet and syrupy). The appetizers, potstickers in particular, were excellent. Unlike the other restaurants, China Chef's food tasted fresh-made, not frier to bag stuff. The "chef's recommendation" board is also worth mentioning. We ordered Thai pineapple fried rice and General Tso's shrimp last night. The rice was awesome! Finally, each order comes with almond cookies in addition to fortune cookies. Nice touch. This will be our go to joint. read more

We recently moved to Standale and were looking to find new favorite Chinese Restaurant. Had to scratch that one out because the food was absutely disgusting. We ordered takeout that included vatiery of dishes and were just grossed out by the looks when opened the boxes. Mixed vegetables appeared overcooked and faded. Everything was drenched in (appeared to be ) same kind of brown sause as if this food was sitting somewhere over long period of time. Not giving it another shot and will be driving to Plainfield to our favorite take out place. read more

I ate here for the first yesterday for lunch and I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was what you'd expect for a Chinese restaurant, and it had a pretty typical menu. I ordered egg drop soup, an egg roll, and empress chicken with hot tea to drink. The soup was very good, better than a lot of places egg drop and on Sundays it is included with the meal. The egg roll was good too. It was hot and fresh, but not so hot where it burns your mouth. It wasn't overly greasy either as some egg rolls tend to be. The empress chicken was delicious. The batter was a perfect texture and the flavour was delicious. All in all I was impressed and will be going again. There were two things about the restaurant that I did not like however. The first thing was that the foyer looked kind of rundown. This is the first impression and I feel that they should take better care of it. The second thing that I didn't like was the signs posted on the wall saying that if two people split one dish there will be a $2 service charge. I think that that is ridiculous. A meal should have a set price, but shouldn't matter how many people are eating off of it. But the food and service were great and it made up for the two downfalls. read more

Ok the sweet and sour sauce tastes like it was doused in water. It doesn't taste like authentic Chinese. Especially the sauce worst sauce I've had. I've had better squad from one of the make at home Chinese food things. read more

This is honestly one of the best Chinese places out there. Value for the food is exceptional. Hands-down some of the best--if not the best--Mongolian beef I've EVER had. I wish the crab rangoons were homemade...but they're still delicious. Not a huge fan of the "happy family" special (I think it's called that). The seafood used in this special makes all the veggies taste a bit off--so I wouldn't recommend that one. Their lunch specials are AWESOME and their sweet and sour sauce is amazing. read more

Their crab cheese is great! Hot and sour soup is the best I've had. Lots of shrimp in the shrimp fried rice

Had lunch with the family there today. Not the cheapest, but solid Chinese food. Chinese food is a necessity. I'm sure the rent on this block is ginormous and effects the price. 3 stars means I will still go there but there's just a couple improvements I would like. Price. Portions of Mei Fun. The shrimp egg foo young I ordered was one of the best I've ever had. Our waiter was elderly was aloofans rushy but we tried to honor him. Writing this because I'm thinking about going there again, like right now. Okay, 4 stars. read more

Sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree with Oxana and Todd. My wife and I frequent China Chef once every few months. We start with Crab Rangoons (more of the sweet and sour dipping sauce would be nice). I have two favorite entrees Beef with Broccoli or Beef with Vegetables. The preparation has been satisfactory, the sauces used are flavorful and not overpowering. My wife typically orders Shrimp Lo Mein and Egg Drop Soup, but she is much more adventurous than I and will order other entrees. I think the only negative is the lack of adequate parking as that store front has to share limited parking with other businesses in a busy location. With kids and car seats we just utilize take out now almost exclusively. read more

So I recently moved to the Standale area and my fiancee and I were craving some good Chinese food. We came upon china chef on the corner or wilson and lake Michigan. Maybe we were just spoiled with the amazing Chinese restaurant Blue Ginger in our old neighborhood, but this was not what we were looking for. The food was barely eatable. Maybe it was an off day, but I am not willing to give it another shot. Sorry china chef. Hopefully you have other customers willing to partake in subpar food. read more

This is my husband's and I favorite chinese place. We usually get takeout but sometimes go in for lunch. The inside needs to be remodeled in my opinion but besides that everythings good. The foods good. We always get egg drop soup, crab ragoons, general tsos chicken and lo mein or rice. You wont go wrong with this place. Ive been coming here for years and have yet to be disappointed! read more

Good selection of food! The food is pretty decent here, a little on the greasy side, but still good. Prices are okay, a little on the high end for some of the small plate items, but the dinners are great prices. read more

Troy is right, it is some of the best Chinese iv ever had, and i frequent it often.The wait staff is very friendly and even remembers our orders. The food is not overly seasoned or sauced. Lots of dishes on the menu which is good since its not buffet. You get a choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup when they take your order (i always go egg drop). All the food iv had so far as been awesome always really fresh and crisp like it was just made and had not been sitting out at all. I always order my food spicy it gives it a nice little zing. Its not a fancy restaurant it shares buildings with a subway and a tanning salon etc. But the atmosphere is nice they usually play piano music over the speakers so it very relaxing, the decor is simple and to the point as well. parking can sometimes be a squeeze but it not terrible i will give them my continued service for as long as possilbe. read more

Both food and service was excellent. Best Chinese food I've had since I moved to this area.
