Mongolian beef is amazing Chicken egg foo young was good. I have never ordered from here before today but I will be ordering again. read more

Sadly... I can no longer recommend The Chinese Chef... The food is just not even remotely the same as what I enjoyed for 35 plus years. Portions are sill good but the flavors are not even close... My last Shrimp Fried rice was simply devoid or flavor... Fried rice looked like perhaps some soy sauce was put on it but not near enough time over high heat in the wok! I don't even want to say anymore... Thanks for all the good years, but I won't be back. read more

The food is old and terrible . It use to be good and when you call back to complain they hang up on you and never let you speak to a supervisor. I am done with Chinese chef in Milwaukee on Appleton. read more

I have been eating CHINESE CHEF for years - 30+ and always raved to others that this was the best in town. I NO LONGER FEEL THIS WAY. EGG FOO YOUNG WAS NOT DONE AND TOO MUCH FOO INSIDE THAT YOU COULDN'T ENJOY (Just extra stringy). The Chinese chicken, they put inside a foam container and staple it close. When you get home, the crispy chicken you thought you purchased is now completely soggy. read more

Food was fresh and delicious. Generous portion; could easily feed 2 ppl. Customer service was excellent and everyone was so nice! I will definitely return again! read more

I stopped at a different Chinese restaurant not too far away earlier in the week (Wing's Chinese) and was disappointed in their food. Hoping to have something better and try a place I hadn't been to yet, I changed my route home and stopped at Chinese Chef. My order consisted of two egg rolls and crab rangoon. Both the egg rolls and crab rangoon had a store bought quality to them, the egg rolls because the filling was mushy and generic and the crab rangoon because the wontons were a bit stale and their presentation seemed too uniform to be freshly made. Even so, both were an upgrade over Wing's Chinese from earlier in the week. Not exactly high praise, but bravo I guess. The menu is very limited compared to other Chinese restaurants, but I'd be willing to give their fried rice a try. read more

It's the best Chinese food in the town you the pepper steak fried rice with side order of Chinese fried chicken that my favorite

I order Pepper Chicken all the time, but this particular time, they gave me Pepper Steak by mistake. I didn't realize it until I got all the way home and put it on my plate. I called them to inform them that they gave me Pepper Steak instead of Pepper Chicken and they said bring it back. I told them it's already on my plate, but they said, bring it back anyway to exchange for the correct order. I thought that maybe they wanted to see it to make sure I was being truthful. So I took it back and they kept it to probably give this to whoever orders this in the future. Usually restaurants will tell you to just keep it or throw it out because it's unsafe to sell it to someone else. I guess Chinese Chef doesn't care about this. read more

Food has always been good. Recently my spouse had a bad experience returned home with his order an realized it was incorrect called an they told him to return it. Mind you he had taken it home) they took it he asked what were they going to do with the food they said have it for there dinner. I thought that was unsanitary to say the least you would have thought they would have said keep it sorry for trouble an inconvenience but nothing.... we're never order from them again. read more

I think it's the best Chinese food in Milwaukee plus you will get your money worth because they give a lot of food you can get two days worth! read more

Food is always fresh. Tastes great. Done in a timely matter. Love the chicken fried rice and sweet and sour chicken.

Sooo good love the spring rolls omg to die for yes happy I started going to this place read more

Chinese Chef - a menu for a chinese restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

First time I placed an order here since my go to for chinese food has closed and will be the ABSOLUTE LAST!!! I ordered sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour pork, chicken fried rice and three egg rolls only to get home and find NO SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE or VEGETABLES for the chicken which apparently they serve seperate. When I called to tell them of their error there was no apology and all they did was asked me to come back!!! I was unable to do so with company arriving at my door as I was on the phone and I asked if they would deliver it and they said flat out NO! I do understand that mistakes happen but now if the error was my own I would have asked my friends to wait while I ran back but felt it was the restaurants responsibility to fulfill the order that was already paid for especially since they run a delivery as well as pickup and I had already been there once!!! POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE here and I will surely drive a bit further the next time I want chinese food!! Make sure you get what you paid for before leaving a pickup from this place! The food was mediocre anyway. Disappointing food · Poor presentation · Terrible delivery service read more

The Best Sweet & Sour chicken ever! I've tried other places but they do not compare to China Chef.

Very disappointed. I ordered shrimp egg foo young it was like a patty of difficult to cut or chew weeds. Thick with fillers but few shrimp if any. Not taste good at all. Also watch final cost when doing a phone order that they don't tell you about. Price of 6.95 with tax should not be 8.16. There's a hidden fee. Would not recommend. read more

Never ate there we decided to eat there yesterday evening ordered beef and broccoli and beef chow mein the meat was so tough and rubbery we called him and let them know and argued and didn't want to give us a replacement and did not even give us any compensation read more

The food just isn't the same , once named the best Chinese food is now kinda blah. The Orange chicken is orange dough the rice doesn't have the same flair it use to give , I said what I said ! read more

its fast always good fresh and on point I order chicken fried rice shrimp fried rice pepper steak fried chicken it's very good food!

Oldie but goodie. My family has been going there since I was little and I am in my mid 40s. I like that you can tast the soy sauce in their rice. Everything is always hot and fresh. read more

Well, I'm back in the 414 Milwaukee area again, and I just ate Shrimp Fried rice with Shrimp sauce.... OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! My mouth and taste buds are doing the Happy dance right now! They went up on their prices, but that's ok. I ordered delivery svc. And the delivery guy wasn't as nice or as cute as the other Korean guy that delivered in the past.... I hate I gave him an $8 tip. But the food was SLAMMIN!!! :-) read more

I'll admit it.... I love Chinese food! Thanks to my brother I have found another place to fulfill my Chinese food craving. This is a family owned and operated establishment and the service is friendly. Call ahead for your order since there isn't really much of a sitting and waiting area. The food is always fresh and hot. You have to try the fried rice with a mixture of pork, beef, and chicken it is really good!! My fave are the spring rolls, chicken strips, and gravy. Yummy! I'm hungry just thinking about it. read more

It was "okay". I've had better. I'm giving one star for the friendly staff. The second star was because the food was hot. The last star is for the good chicken. I ordered Mongolian beef-medium, chicken fried rice & chicken sticks. (Combo menu) My Mongolian Beef lacked flavor AND "heat". Rice= um still trying to think of a word. Chicken=great Will I return? Prolly not! read more

My Mom was ordering delivery from here since I was 6 years old and the place is still around and I 41! Delicious as I've always remembered

We were looking for somewhere to get Chinese takeout, and Chinese Chef had a bunch of really good reviews. I'm not sure why. I can't speak for their service, but the food was only "meh". The Shrimp fried rice with shrimp sauce that a lot of these other reviewers were talking about? There's no shrimp sauce - anywhere. I even asked for it when we placed the call, and the lady taking our order didn't seem to register that I'd even said it. The fried rice itself was ok...but it was 90% rice, 7% little shrimp (yay!) and about 3% green onion and egg. If you don't like all the extra stuff in your rice, you might like this more than I did. Like the 2-star rating said, I've experienced better. My husband ordered the Mongolian beef, and was really put off by the giant chunks of green onion. It wasn't the least bit spicy, either. We'll probably go (way way) out of our way to order from our old favorite Chinese spot in the future. read more

Please beware ordered yesterday for me and my family and we all got sick from eating here. It was really painful and I paid 60 dollars for the pleasure. read more

I think Chinese Chef is good and has a good reputation for providing quality food and as proven by its longevity in the neighborhood. However, I am unhappy with the service provided tonight and no desire for compromise to resolve the issue. A $1 credit towards my future order would have been sufficient, but the management team denied it!! In their judgement, giving up $1 was not worth keeping my business. Well, that's fine I'll frequent other competitor Chinese food establishments in the area. read more

Been ordering from here for the last year or so. I admit I'm a bit picky when it comes to Chinese but after trying the chicken fried rice was convinced they are legit. My mom keep raving about the chop suey. At first I declined to try but after my cousin tried some leftovers she had and told me I was trippin and needed to give it a try, I did and I must say the chicken fried rice with beef chop suey is a GO! Give it a shot. read more

This hidden gem has been a staple of our family's diet since my mother worked here in the 1960's. We grew up on their fried rice on Friday night carry-out dinners. It is impossible to dine-in here and that's fine... the food is great and you won't be disappointed. read more

Order always consists of: Eggrolls (2) Crab Rangoon Pepper steak Sweet and Sour Chicken This is my neighborhood Chinese spot and it's probably my second or third favorite Chinese place in the city. The eggrolls are my favorite that I've ever had. I don't personally care too much for Crab Rangoon but my girlfriend loves it. Pepper steak and sweet sour chicken are also some of the best I've ever had. The only problem is that it takes a while to get delivery but the food completely makes up for it every time. 4/5 perfect place for bi-weekly visits if you enjoy Chinese food as much as I do. read more

"We start with the freshest chicken breast" That's what their recipe for orange chicken says...yea right. I get grizzle and or dark meat in almost every piece. If they actually had quality chicken the orange chicken would be bomb. read more

I really wanted to like this because it's one of the only places that deliver to our house. However it was overpriced for what you get. The entire combo was rice with hardly any of the entre I ordered. The food was just ok. Will not order again. Very disappointing. read more

I have stopped in this place many of times. I always go for chicken fried rice and egg rolls. I like it because you get a large portion for little money. The chicken fried rice is basic, probably should have more chicken in it. It needs more onions and flavor but it will do again for the price. Today I stopped in got the usual but I was feeling a little spontaneous and asked for extra white onions and green onions. I was charged 2.00 for the white onions and 2.00 for the green onions. Total of 4.00....Ridiculous! I guess that's what spontaneous gets me. Not sure I will be returning. read more

I have ordered from here many times now. Honestly the best Chinese in the area, by far. The orange chicken is the best I've had. Delivery is an hour every time but its easier than picking it up from there on a busy day. No parking and a shady area. Food is well worth the wait! read more

They have good food! I like the beef fried rice w/orange chicken...mmm damn tht shit is good

My all time favorite. ..this is home for me...everyone I visit there's no other place for Chinese food. They have been in business for a couple decades now at the same location...I am glad they are still there. Too bad I only get to eat there only one per year... read more

I lovve their rice...cant get enough!!! Chicken and shrimp. ..oh yeah and the spring rolls are amazing!!!

I ordered this Chinese because it seemed to have really good reviews opposed to others in the area, well I'm not sure if these people were the employees of the place or high-- but I was stoned and this was by far the worst Chinese I have ever eaten in my life. I ordered the Shanghai shrimp which was described as "our original recipe of large shrimp and vegetables cooked in our sweet and tasty homemade sauce." Well I ordered this assuming it would come with the normal vegetables you find in Chinese food ie: broccoli, onions, carrots; I excitingly opened up my Chinese to what looked like someone vomited up tomato soup with the tiniest shrimp I have ever seen and among the slop were onions and...tomatoes? I wasn't aware that tomatoes came in Chinese food. Well I decided to just give it a try anyways as there was a huge pile of rice next to it that looked delicious. The shrimp- absolutely disgusting, I couldn't take more than a bite. So I went to the rice. Like the lady said before me, there really isn't words for what it tasted like- it was almost like salty fire. I'm pretty sure they burnt it. I didn't think it could get much worse than the Shanghai shrimp, but the rice definitely topped it. The egg roll that comes with the combo I ordered is described as "our family recipe, handmade jumbo egg roll filled with more shrimp than ever!" I'm not sure what they consider jumbo and maybe I missed the shrimp because they were as small as the ones in my dish, but all I saw was a very questionable looking meat. The crab Rangoon were alright, however there were very crispy as if they had been sitting awhile. The taste wasn't bad though, they were the only part of the meal I could tolerate to take more that one bite of. I would never recommend this place to anyone, nor would I ever return. Drive a couple extra miles than wasting your time here! read more

I used to go to them a lot but lately there shrimp fried rice has went down a lot they have very very little shrimp in it an when they do have it it's all on the top to make it seem as if they're doing us a favor anyway for rite now it's Wong's wok.... read more

I've loved this place since I was a little girl! I am no longer a Milwaukee resident, but I always visit when I'm home!
