    Highly recommend this place I love the food. I love ordering takeout, especially it's always fresh and hot and the service is always on point. I will definitely come back here forever and always.

    Sweet & Sour Chicken

    We were surprised the food came out so quick, we should've known something was off, dumplings were not fully cooked, the rice was burnt, the sweet and sour sauce was horrible like how can you go wrong with the sweet and sour and the chicken taste like burnt oil and the only thing decent was the crab Rangoon's but we left everything

    China Chef Restaurant is a typical New York Style type Chinese restaurant that offers the usual suspects that you would find on countless Chinese restaurant menus. While they might not take many chances on their menu, the food is relatively decent and the people working here are very friendly and professional. China Chef Restaurant is located the strip mall on the corner of University Boulevard and Goldenrod Road. There is plenty of parking. If you are not sure where it is, look for the Publix Supermarket, which is in the same shopping plaza. I had the pork lo mein on my visit here and I have to say that I enjoyed my meal. I have always thought that lo mein is a good menu item to judge a Chinese restaurant and this one was definitely a good representation. All in all, I would definitely recommend this establishment if you are in the mood for Chinese food and in the general area. Overall, I will give China Chef Restaurant four stars. As I said, a positive experience.

    Ordered take Out and was very impressed it's hard to find good Chinese food here in Orlando! I'm happy and glad I decided to give them a try because I will definitely be back and they are located only a few blocks away from my house. Everything was delicious my bf and I are picky when it comes to Chinese food and he did not leave a crumb behind he ate every last chicken wing! I forgot to take pictures of the egg rolls which were also really good and all of our food was freshly made! Idk why they only have 3.4 Stars that is deceiving and deserve to be higher than that! Give them a try I promise you won't be disappointed! I was iffy ordering from them but am extremely happy I went with my gut feeling and gave them a try!

    The chicken looked, smelled, and tasted rancid. I called the restaurant to tell them the chicken was yellow and they told me it's because it's cooked with curry. I don't know if that's true or not, or if the chicken was bad, but it still doesn't change the fact that it smelled, tasted horrible and was a waste of money.

My latest meal from there was their boxed lunch combo. I had their seasonal Thanksgiving sandwich as the main component of the boxed lunch. It was fantastic--everything I love about Thanksgiving dinner sandwiched between two pieces of fluffy, flavorful focaccia. I would gladly order that again and again. I also had the seasonal pumpkin spice cookie in the box. It was a crispy cookie and I'm more of a soft, chewy cookie person, but the flavor was still good. On other visits, I've tried their sunrise egg bites (tasty), chicken caesar bowl (delish), and Belgian chocolate salted caramel cookies (addictive). I love that they're very focused on delicious, nutritious scratch-made meals. Overall, Bricks & Bowls is a great option for a yummy, wholesome lunch that'll leave you feeling fresh.

The focaccia bread was great and we really loved the peppercorn caeser dressing that came with the salad. My sandwich did not have tomato listed, but did come with tomato on it which was a concern because I'm allergic, but I was able to pull it off. Could have been more of an issue for a different patron, though! The guys behind the counter were very efficient and friendly, but didn't know what was in one of the sauces, which was again a concern for me with a tomato allergy. Overall, the food was super good and we loved the outdoor space, but we may not return!

The Thai iced tea and the passion star fruit tea were delicious. Our adult kids loved them. Theyvran out of whole Rednapper, otherwise we should have tried it. We started with 2 orders of Shrimp Donuts served with a sweet homemade sauce, and Chicken Wings. Both were excellent. We had the Tom Gai soup with chicken, mushroom, coconutnmilk and that distinctive lemongrass gave it a nice kick. The spicy Papaya Salad is the signature Thai fish here, in my humble opinion. For entree, we loved the Duck Curry, Shrimp Pad Thai and Crab Fried Rice. Adding seedless grapes to the duck curry isvan art. The Pad Thai was moisturizing, with the right sauce and enough peanuts. The fried rice also told the skill level of who was behind the wok. We tried all 3 dessert items, but Barisan, our server forgot the Mango Stickyrice, so we packed it to go. We finished the ice-cream and tiramisu instantly. No more room for bobba teas as initially planned. I wish they have a bar, or maybe they do but they didn't promote since restaurants make profit from the drinks rather than food. And their food is attractive. Just one picky thing, and it's just me. Maybe they need to turn the heating lamp on. Hot food was not 100% hot when they arrive. But they were busy with only 2 servers. My hats off to a new Thai spot, opened a year and 4 months ago.

There really is something for every mood, every vibe, and every person. The portion sizes were glorious. But if I am being honest, the absolute best part of my entire experience was the flavoring of the food. They got everything perfectly. You are able to customize your spice level as well, which was something that made me extra excited to try the food. We were served by a very helpful waiter and did not have to wait long at all for our food. I am not the only one who was absolutely mesmerized by this place. The friend that went with me, fell in love too. I love the location, the fact that I didn't have to fight for my life for parking, the aesthetic of the entire place, and a delicious dessert menu. I have been thinking about going back ever since I left.

It's the kind of place where you can sit, talk, and just enjoy the evening without feeling rushed. The food was honestly the highlight. Everything tasted really fresh and full of flavor. We ordered a variety of dishes so we could try a little bit of everything. The shrimp/Salmon dish was amazing. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, the salmon was tender and the presentation with the orchid and lemon slice made it look almost too pretty to eat. The pad thai had that perfect balance of sweet, savory, and a little tangy. The fried rice was simple but really good, with tender pieces of chicken and vegetables mixed throughout. We also tried a few stir fry dishes with chicken and beef that came with fresh vegetables and a flavorful garlic sauce. You could tell everything was made fresh and not just thrown together. We also started with a sampler appetizer plate that had spring rolls, dumplings, and coconut shrimp with a sweet chili dipping sauce. That was a great way to kick things off. Overall the whole meal felt fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The service was friendly and the environment made it a great spot to relax and enjoy dinner with friends. Definitely a place we'd go back to again.

Tiny hole in the wall but once you're inside there is a very nice amount of seating, both tables and a barstool area to sit at. I placed an order and proceeded to sit at the bar area and wait for my food. Once it came out (super fast despite how many people were there), I understood why the sandwiches here are a little on the pricier side. The Ya-Mon which is jerk chicken, sweet plantains, pork rinds, jalapeno pesto, mango jam, gouda, jerk lime mayo, was heavenly. All the flavors blended in perfectly and the bread was so soft.
