Hidden gem hole in the wall Northeastern Chinese eatery with handmade noodles and dumplings! The menu offers great variety with generous portion sizes. I loved the Toothpick Cumin Lamb, Pork Intestine with Jalapeño and the famous Sweet & Sour Pork! The Salt & Pepper calamari was so so. read more

We have tried many Chinese restaurants in the East Valley. Somehow, we missed this place, and that is a shame. Can't wait to return! Started with the wonton soup, excellent and packed with the best dumplings ever. Had the vegetable egg rolls, average. Scallion pancakes, enjoyed. Juicy pork soup dumplings were outrageously delicious! Salt and pepper shrimp were perfect. Wife really liked her stir fried chicken. Brother's special pork ribs were okay, but not our favorite. This is a Mom and Pop operation, and they are friendly, terrific people. Our meals were fresh, clean and tasty. Can't wait to return and try some other dishes. If we lived closer, we would be regulars. I'm willing to drive for food this good! read more

Trying to wrap up what makes Chous so amazing in a quick read is difficult but we can start with, they actually know how to hit you with the spice level you want. When you say very spicy they will make sure you feel that statement the following morning, and I say that with so much love. They will do vegan for you if you ask and Linda is an absolute queen. She and the rest of the staff care very much about their customers and it shines through in every dish. It's our favorite restaurant by far and we eat it once a week. read more

This place is in a strip mall so there is lots of parking. The staff were super friendly when we walked in and checked on us. The chef even came out to ask if everything was ok. They make the dumplings fresh so there will be a wait. The restaurant is very clean and so was the restroom. There is only one but it was very clean. I loved that you can see them working in the dough and preparing the dumplings. The orange chicken was very good. Not super sweet and has just the right amount of crunch. The cabbage was also very good so I think the vegetarian options are all so tasty. The beef noodle soup was so good, I didn't think it was spicy at all but I can see how someone who normally doesn't eat spicy food would find it hot. The dumplings were so good. The flavor was delicious and I dipped it in the beef broth and oh my gosh it has to be one of the best dumplings I have had. Will definitely be back! read more

The real deal. Real Chinese. Don't bring in your own waterr or they will tease you (and I found out that their water was great - comes from bottles at no additional charge). read more

The noodles and dumplings are pretty great. We had the House Noodles and chive/pork/shrimp dumplings. Service was quick and the staff are very nice. Can't ask for much more than that. read more

We don't remember ever talking so much of how good the food is at a restaurant. Chou's is now our favorite Chinese eating establishment. The hot and sour soup is a must - the small size heartily serves 2. We shared the Kung Pao Chicken which is absolutely the best we've tasted in the valley. It's the most unique flavor we've ever experienced. The staff/ owners are extremely friendly. All around we highly recommend this establishment! read more

Very disappointed with their foods. We ordered Orange chicken which had very little sauce. Chicken was tough. There were hardly no meat but flours. and the chicken smelled bad. We always loved their fried rice but this time they didn't have the usual nice aromas. Instead, it had simple salt & pepper taste and no flavor, and the rice was burnt. Soup also. No chicken aroma and had too much peppers. Overall their food quality went down drastically. What happened to our favorite authentic restaurant? read more

The pictures of fellow yelpers and me being a incredible fan of Asian cuisine, made me head over to Chou's Kitchen to try their Spicy Fish Fillets dish and an order of pork fried rice. My carry out order was well packaged in plastic containers, with various packs of sauces and 2 plastic folks. To my surprise, both dishes had nothing noticeable that stood out. The spicy Fish Fillets looked amazing in the plastic container but barely had a spice to it. I was truly surprised by this. And the pork fried rice looked well made but had no wow factor. This is very sad for me because of my intense love for Asian food. So, this only means that some reviews are not that reliable and that you have to just take that chance on a dish and hope for the best. This is truly, truly a shame. read more

I usually go to the Tempe location but some friends of mine suggested I try out this location because they had said the taste wasn't the same. What we ordered: Spicy shredded potato - the spice and sourness of the dish did not balance out well, was lacking the sour kick this dish usually has at the other location. Cumin lamb - was too light in cumin flavoring, meat was also a bit overdone and tough. Stir fry Chinese mushroom over greens - you can never go wrong with this dish of bok choy and shitake mushrooms, a delicious classic. Steamed juicy pork dumplings - delicious as usual. Service was attentive and friendly. Food portions are generous and at a reasonable price. Solid place for decent Chinese food. However, I will say that if you're dropping by for a quick meal during a lunch break or on a time crunch, service can be a little slow due to there being only one server handling the floor. read more

It's nothing fancy and it's located in a strip mall. This place gets very busy so come early to get seated. There's a variety of choices from traditional to clay pots. I really wanted dumplings, which they make. I loved the fried pork dumplings, the steamed pork and shrimp dumplings were just okay. The Kung Pao chicken and eggplant were both solid choices and came with rice. The food and service were also quick. read more

I'm not usually someone who gives 5 stars but this place really deserves it. Not fancy by any stretch but great food and great service. Located in a strip mall way back off the street surrounded by other restaurants is this unassuming gem. When you walk in you see plenty of "Best of" articles lining the walls. And what this place does best is noodles and dumplings. If you're looking for the combo lunch or dinner plate where each person orders their own meal and doesn't share this isn't that. Here it's family style. 10 or so dumplings to and order. Main dishes serve 2 normal adults. Average price for your dumplings about $10. Average entrees $13-15. We ordered the pork potstickers and steamed juicy pork dumplings to start. In the pictures they look like they might be kinda doughy. They're not. The skins are the perfect amount of noodle to meat. The meat in flavorful and not fatty. For an entree we ordered the spicy Szechuan chicken. About 2 minutes after we ordered it one of the staff asked if we had ever had that before. We had not. She said it is hot, very hot with many Szechuan peppercorns that numb your senses. Although my wife likes very spicy I'm more of a person who likes to tastes their food over the spice. So we decided to order the House Special Stir-Fry Noodles. A combination of shrimp, beef and chicken stir fried with house made fresh noodles. This dish definitely had that wok hay flavor that make Chinese food taste great. Great service, great food at a reasonable price. This is going to become one of or once a week go to places. read more

Since I moved to Chandler, I haven't found my go to Chinese restaurant yet... UNTIL TODAY. This place is money. Besides the tastiness of all the food, the owner is walking around talking to the guests and she is so amazingly cute of awesome: Great experience and incredible food. Don't let the outside of this shopping center fool you, this place is definitely worth a try read more

Amazing food! Best Chinese food I've found in AZ! I always use Kung Pao Chicken as the baseline to compare and Chou's is top notch!

Great food, ok service. You come here for the food. Cozy hole in the wall, with limited seating and a loyal following. Ordered the soup dumplings, the house noodles, the small dumplings and the beef tripe, slices and tendon. My daughter gave it a 95 out of 100 and I give it a solid 90, points off for never refilling a drink during the meal. Food is real good. Go for the food. read more

Delicious authentic Chinese food! Everything here always taste amazing! Check in on Yelp for a free soda! Steamed Juicy Pork Dumplings: like the name it was juicy and flavorful! Make sure to put the dumpling on a soup spoon and poke a small hole to let out the air before taking a bite! That way the soup will be in the spoon and it doesn't burn your tongue. Beef Pie: this were also very juicy. I think the wrapping was a bit doughy. Kung Pao Chicken: perfect amount of spicy for me! Great amount of chicken in the entree. Delicious with their rice! Fish Fillet in Hot Chili Oil: I always love this dish, but can never handle the mala flavoring. Here they make it a settle spicy taste and you can ask for it to be spicer if needed. The vegetables at the bottom of the pot is definitely spicer. This was my favorite!! Service is amazing! They are super helpful on recommendation. Great customer service! Would definitely recommend! read more

Amazing homemade dumplings and the food is excellent too. Only been there once but really liked it

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant. They are absolutely so accommodating for my GF sensitivity and even when a dish did not work for me they did their best to make it right. Every single thing is delish. Our daughter loves their orange chicken, husband likes sweet and sour chicken and our son loves the pork dumplings. We love coming here and are always well taken care of. read more

This gets a lot of stars and I am curious of the reviewers palette for such high rating. We were taken back when comparing against other high rated Yelp Chinese establishments. We got the sesame chicken, the orange chicken and the sweet and sour chicken along with pork fried rice (which was actually chicken that looked undercooked) and potstickers. Side note: It took a whole day for the smell from the potstickers to exit my truck. I wasn't aware of what that smell was until I had put the leftovers in the fridge. I haven't smelled that bad of a stench since my college roommate days. The quality of the meat does not equal the price. Chou read more

Have been going to this restaurant for the past 10 years now. The food continues to be fantastic. The Xiao Long Baos in particular are some of the best I've ever had. The owner recognizes us as well and is just a great person. read more

Chou's has been one of those small family owned restaurants that keeps getting better every year! I highly recommend the soup dumplings, green onion pancakes, and green beans + minced pork. The service is always great too, the owner makes you feel at home every time. read more

Food is 10/10 every single time. The vegetable stir fried noodles and orange chicken are the best. The waiters are quick and friendly

This review is only about the food. The people are as lovely as ever, but the food is definitely in decline. We are visitors to the area so we get an overview. Last time we visited we ate here several times because the food was so good and remarkably, quite authentic. Now (6 months later) the food was disappointing at best. Dishes we had noted to get again had changed. Mongolian beef: the beef was tough and hard to chew. A stew cut rather than a stir fry cut of beef. Very little and flavorless sauce. Stir fried noodles were overcooked and mushy; definitely not chewy. Again basically no sauce or flavor. Scallion pancakes were undercooked, gummy and flavorless except at the very edges. Kung pao chicken had zero spice. Obviously a great restaurant that catered to Chinese people and those who want and appreciate authentic Chinese food has changed into another ordinary American Chinese take-out joint. Bummer. read more

Came to get some noodles. Got the house special noodles, it's like a combo with chicken, beef and shrimp and noodles. I took the shrimp off. I wanted to get soup and did order it but they don't have the chips or crackers for it. Was upset about that, but hopefully they can get some soon. Lots of people did take out. The food is definitely fresh. Came out piping hot. read more

I've been coming to this location for years now, owned by this chinese family, they specialize in dumplings as they are all made by hand. Ambiance is small and cozy, reminds me of a small local food spot in China. Service was good, brought out the food in good time and everything was clean. This is the closest place you'll get to traditional Chinese food in chandler. Definitely recommend. read more

The orange chicken was cooked great with a little crisp however the orange sauce was a little bland. Fried rice is not an option with your plate unless you pay for the fried rice separately. They have coke products but are cans for $2.00 each. Service was okay and does have the hole in the wall type of atmosphere. They do have a large selection of dumplings. My daughter chose the pork dumplings which were great. Reason I gave a rating of 3 rather than a 2. I guess if you're in the mood for dumplings I would suggest trying them here. read more

Chou's Kitchen - Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Fast, authentic, and exotic experience. We came in just 35 minutes before closing and they still accepted us in. We ordered our favorite dishes and asked for recommendations on the seafood. The waitress said that her favorite was the fish fillet with chili oil. Reminder: check into Yelp for a free can of soda Must haves: XLB- steamed fresh. Comes out pipping hot! None of the baos were popped. All the juices were still in. After 30 minutes, the soup inside was still there and still warm. Eat it with a hint of vinegar and ginger. Kung Pao-they perfected this dish. It's very flavorful. The veges are still crunchy and pair well with the chicken. It's spiced perfectly Chili oil fish- the fish is super tender. The mala spice was perfect for those who can't handle heavy spice. It's not very spicy by design. Very flagrant! Must must get. Nice to have: Beef pie- if I'm being extra critical, it's not my favorite. The beef is seasoned well and served moist. However the crust /dough is a tad thick for me. read more

Our favorite Chinese restaurant in the valley! Our go to spot when we crave Chinese Szechwan style food. Our favorite from the menu has to be juicy pork dumplings, the cold noodles with peanuts and cucumber, spicy fish, Szechwan crispy chicken and mapo tofu! Nothing goes wrong with these items. The service is always nice and we are treated well every time we visit. The ambiance is nothing fancy. Simple seating arrangements with Chinese decor items! read more
