Sadly, there is no decent Chinese food in Tuckahoe. DH called in an order for me to pick up on the way home from work. After arriving, I waited for a new minutes for the order to be ready. While waiting, I was turned off the dingy-ness of the place that I found it hard to enjoy my food when we got home. read more

I tried the sweet and sour chicken combo meal today. For only $10, it was a great amount of food-- you get an egg roll, rice and the chicken. The chicken was so, so... nothing too special but still good. I wasn't the biggest fan of the egg roll, it seemed like it had a mix of pork and shrimp. The star of the show was the fried rice, it was probably some of the best I've had. Definitely worth the price. read more

0 stars if I could. The pictures for ordering online are nothing like what you get and everything is mislabeled. I ordered (online) what I thought was fried spicy chicken and somehow got a protein with the consistency of chicken skin and undercooked vegetables. Food was very bland. Fried rice was actually good. When calling the restaurant to ask them about this the lady on the phone said "well what do you want me to do about it?". How is it my fault your website is jacked up? No refund issued and I asked to get orange chicken as a replacement and she refused. Awful service. read more

Our go to spot for local Chinese food ! Their menu is pretty expansive and they are able to honor requests for making most dishes vegetarian, w/o MSG etc. super nice family runs the place and they keep us coming back! read more

I specifically downloaded this app to write this review. this was one of the worst food experiences I've ever had. I took one bite and I couldn't take another. The chicken was cold, not even the soy sauce helped. The only thing good out of this meal was the plain white rice they gave on the side. If I could give it 0 stars I would. Definitely need my money back, if not more... Is this the color of what chow mein is supposed to be? read more

Chinese Chef - 39. Chicken Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

We were looking for a chinese food restaurant as we are originally from New York so yes we wanted great tasting food like NYC. Restaurants we came across may have been good at first but then it becomes hit or miss. We wanted Chinese food for Christmas and after reading the reviews we decided to give this place a chance. Can I tell you that we were not disappointed driving from Chesterfield to this restaurant. We ordered General TSO, Sweet & Sour Chicken,Spare Ribs, Dumplings, Chicken Wings, Lo Mein, Crab Rangoon and egg rolls. All of it was so good. My Sweet & Sour chicken was not just breaded dough it was fresh tasting chicken in each piece properly fried. Food was not greasy really fresh. We will definitely be back hoping that this will be our new go to. read more

A small restaurant serving really good chinese food. We ordered chicken wings, crab Rangoon, egg drop soup, chicken chow mein, and chicken/broccoli in garlic sauce. All were fantastic, and the serving sizes were huge! Enough for 3 meals each. Loved the breading on the chicken and they fell off the bone because they were so tender. The crab rangoon came in a portion size of about 8 and were delicious. The entrees were equally delicious. Would highly recommend! read more

Tried the Chinese Chef for the first time last weekend. Was pleasantly surprised. Everything was very fresh. The food was delicious and service very friendly. For a small take-out place, you wouldn't expect much, but was very satisfied with everything! I tried the Crab Rangoon, Shrimp Fried Rice, Beef Teriyaki, Vegetable Lo Mein and Fried Chicken Wings. A little pricey, but I care about the quality. Very tasty and will visit again. read more

I order delivery from this place a few times per month. The food is consistently good, arrives hot, and is really fast. The online order system is easy to use. They have lunch specials that are a great deal at $7 for entree, fried rice, and soda or egg roll. Dinner combo platters are $9 for entree, fried rice, and eggroll. I find the small dinners to be sufficient for one, and a large could probably feed two. They also do great combo deals - "special dinners" - that include an entree and rice for each person and egg rolls for a reasonable price. I'm partial to the chicken with broccoli, but I regularly order the hunan chicken too. It's not quite spicy enough. But it is tasty. The mix of veggies is great - snow peas, carrots, broccoli, zucchini, corn, peppers, and water chestnuts. Definitely my go-to place for chinese takeout! read more

Go-to chinese food place, hands down. Have gotten takeout from here twice now and both times I really enjoyed the food. They have pretty much anything you'd want in terms of a Chinese food craving, and all of their food is super tasty. I love buying a little bit extra because is it really a Chinese food takeout night if you don't have leftovers!? The lo mein is our staple item so far, but we've tried spring rolls, egg rolls, wonton soup, crab rangoons, orange chicken, beef and broccoli... okay, now I'm starting to feel extra fat having written that all out! Long story short, everything has been super tasty, and I highly recommend! read more

I Love this place the kid here is so nice its a family business and it's also really tasty and welcomed

the food was very greasy and tasted awful!! waste of 20 bucks, but couldnt find another place open, ordered very late before closing and they still let me pickup. So that's a plus i guess read more

Food was super fresh and really good. I had the shrimp Thai curry and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. I also tried the crab Rangoon after reading other reviews and agree they are some of the best. Service was quick on a Saturday night read more

This place could be really good - like 4+ stars good - if they would execute a few basic restaurant basics. First, this is a Chinese restaurant and they should act like it! Chop sticks should be included in every order. Secondly, you don't serve scallops that have been frozen since Abe Lincoln took a bullet in the balcony. Thirdly, their Beef Chow Mei Fun is, uh, NOT fun. Where's the beef? I'm still digging around in this giant bird nest of noodles ... really, no beef? Lastly, edamame is always slightly salted. It enhances flavor. This place is currently okay with the potential of being great. Let's see if they are smart enough to figure it out. read more

Ordered delivery tonight (10 Oct 2022) and it was very good. I ordered General Tso's chicken with shrimp fried rice and shrimp egg rolls. The General Tso's was pretty decent and the broccoli very fresh but the shrimp fried rice and shrimp egg roll was really good! The rice is fluffy and fresh, a bit of a different texture than I'm used to and different in a very good way; very well made. The Shrimp rolls were great because unlike the typical egg roll, these are packed with plenty of shrimp. Plenty of different sauces and utensils in the bag. I'd definitely recommend trying this order from Chinese Chef. read more

I used to go to Hunan East but this is my new go to! The egg foo young and crab ragoons are far superior to any in the city!

Seriously good. We had shrimp egg roll, pork lo mein, veggie fried rice, general tso's chicken, and mongolian beef. All of them were hands down the best Chinese takeout dishes I've ever had. Each dish was hot, fresh, flavorful and the portions were generous. This was on a Friday night so probably an evening with high turnover (equating to freshness) but I have no reason to doubt you wouldn't have the same experience on a different day/time. Only surprise was the veggie fried rice was made with brown rice instead of white rice -- perhaps they only do that for the veggie version and the meat versions are made with white. Hit the spot -- I'll be back!! read more

I love this place a lot and orders from it often since I started college nearby. But today, when I placed my order, I spent over $25 and that usually comes with a free egg drop soup. But when the order came, it didn't contain my soup and when I called, they said they had changed their menu since two weeks ago. I think they just weren't willing to drive back and get my soup. :^/ whatever, I'll just find another Chinese takeout restaurant. read more

This is your standard Chinese takeout place. Satisfying, good flavors. I would give it 4 stars if the quality of beef had been better. It didn't taste like most beef. I think they may benefit more if they buy better beef and raise the price to cover it. The shrimp egg roll was good. I would definitely go back to try a chicken dish--no more beef dishes. The lady that greeted me was super nice. Wish they wore masks, though. read more

At lot of times the best places are little tiny places that you dont even notice when driving by. This is that place. I've lived in New Jersey, Alabama, North Carolina and DC and is in my top 2 of favorite chinese take out places. The other restaurant was in Chinatown NYC. The food is so good, the prices are excellent (they give you the choice of pint or quart), and the people are so nice. I know everyone has a different palate, but for me, I love this place! read more

House special Lo mein is quite nice! And the veggie soup is fine. The delivery is pretty fast, around 20mins. read more

Chinese Chef - a plate of noodles and shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

See all

Great Chinese takeout! It is surprisingly good from such an unassuming place! The sauces are unusually glossy and light and not a goopy mess that can come with some Chinese takeout. China Chef even has several delicious Thai dishes on the menu including Pad Thai and several Thai curries! My favorite dishes are their wonton soup! The broth is awesome!! I could drink that from the plastic container and be done before even thinking about the delicious dumplings. I also love the Hunan chicken, Curry Chicken,and Singapore Noodles. Those are just my favorites. I love my China Chef Chinese takeout! read more

Always friendly whether you pick up or have food delivered! Love this place and food is always delicious!

Ordered delivery. Spring rolls, wonton soup, orange beef and General Tso's chicken. Delivery was quick and the prices were low to average. But it just wasn't good. The spring rolls had an "off" flavor - perhaps from old oil. The soup wontons tasted - for lack of a better word - "gamey" and my entree was a soupy, soggy and super sweet mess of over-breaded something-that-was-supposed-to-be-beef but was actually a sinewy, light colored protein. The chicken was recognizable as such, but was soggy and also teeth-achingly sweet. Bonus - Our meal came with free egg drop soup that was bland, nearly gelatinous, and "Paas Easter egg dye" yellow. read more

Pretty tasty appetizers and moo shoo pork. The beef teriyaki was a bit dry but the egg rolls and crab rangoons were great: crispy and not at all greasy. Good pork dumplings. We had delivery to go with a little booze and would definitely order again. read more

I have fallen in love with getting takeout from here! I have been searching for my favorite Chinese food place and I have finally found it! Everything I have order from here has been amazing! I usually order from here once a week lol it's just so good. Also I love the choose 4 option such a great deal! read more

Their price is very competitive. They have the best Sesame chicken ever! Ask for it extra crispy.

Horrible! Lack of proper flavors! We wasted over $40 for our dinners. Fried rice from the mall is a better bet.

Food comes quick, I was quoted 35 minutes and food arrived within 15 minutes. Food tasted like drive thru chinese food.. such as Panda Express.. read more

Food is such a subjective thing to review, but here I go. This is our second time ordering here. Good New York style Chinese take out. We had the dumplings, pork and broccoli combo, beef and broccoli combo and sweet and sour chicken tonight. All was very good, fried rice not dry or sticky and the egg rolls are good too. I hope you enjoy the food, we have. read more

I haven't come here to order food, it feels like going home, the food here is delicious

Every time I go here they are always very nice and never mess up my order. I really like their white meat chicken and it makes great leftovers. read more

Very good place for Chinese food. I've never been disappointed here. Food always comes out nice and hot. The quality is good. It's a small place but definitely worth it. read more

Chinese Chef gets a mixed review. The delivery was very fast, but the food was only "OK". The egg rolls were good, and the pork fried rice was cooked well and not too greasy. They lose stars because there were two many bits of pork fat in the fried rice (one or two is understandable, but twelve?), they put onions in a dish that was requested to be made without onions, and the steamed dumplings were not soft and fluffy as they should be (the dough was thin and gummy). read more

The best Chinese delivery we've found since we moved here 2 years ago. We had the General Tso chicken, pork lo mein, egg drop soup, hot and sour soup and an egg roll- all good. The General Tso's chicken was great but not spicy at all, still good though. The lo mein wasn't really greasy which was a pleasant surprise. The hot and sour soup was okay but had a bit different taste than we are used to, we probably won't order that soup again but we will definitely order from this place again. read more

I want to like this place because they are so close and it's convenient, but it took over 2 hours to have 2 simple entrees delivered on a Sunday night. Whenever I called to check past the 30 minute mark I was told "it will be 2 more minutes, we are busy." If you want actual delivery, don't order from here. read more

Decent Chinese food but nothing special. Lo mein didn't have any wok flavor. General Tso chicken was average.

So I'm house sitting and get asked to do another night and I realize I don't have enough food to make anything so first inclination is take-out. For take-out, it is exactly what I wanted and actually even better. I was happy that they had a "Thai" section b/c curry is my favorite thing but typical take-out Chinese curry doesn't scratch that itch for me. Green curry was flavorful, nice kick to it and the tofu was cooked perfectly (in take-out level of perfection). I also ordered some steamed chicken and broccoli so I'd simply have some other, already cooked food to work with in mitigating being away from home. I've ordered off the diet menu and know I'm not going to get much in the way of flavor but damned if this didn't actually taste pretty good. And the signature ginger sauce wasn't nearly as salty as from most places I've tried. Wonton Soup and spring rolls were on par with any other take-out place. They were fast, the food was HOT, and the delivery guy really friendly. If we're talking take-out, this place is up there with the best of them from this limited exposure. read more

The general tsos and rice combo with decent at best. What really stuck with me was the food poisoning which had me throwing up for 6 straight hours. read more

Friendly service and nice folks! The food is solid and the menu options are great. I love being able to order online, and have my regular items stored in my account! They were late with my delivery once, and gave me a free item for the trouble, also apologized profusely(which wasn't necessary because I understand being busy). They care about their business, and more importantly return business. You can get Chinese food anywhere, but the people at Chinese Chef care about their product and their customers. That makes all the difference to me! read more
