This is one of my favorites in the desert... sort of hole in the wall Chinese place, as it is tucked away, sort of, off a vety traffic heavy little corner of Washington and country club. I've been several times, the first time about 3 weeks after it opened. Didn't write a review then, or did I? Anyway... It is about the size of a Starbucks lobby, complete with standard decorative restaurant applications. There's a couple of tables and a half dozen booths to sit in. Soda selection is limited, and they do have a few adult beverages there as well. I don't drink, so I usually don't check out the drink menu. Not to make the staff seem too stereotypical, but as soon as I heard the yelling in the kitchen, with the language of the natives, I knew from the first visit, this was gonna be at the very least, a tasty meal. This visit was not a disappointing one. I ordered the potstickers, and an order of combo lo mein. Very good and very filling. And all the flavors were very authentic. I will say the service is hot and miss, but only because the language barrier is somewhat thick. But, I really don't need to ask for anything else past the meal being set, because that's ultimately what matters, in my opinion. As long as we communicate, the plates and cups aren't thrown at me, I'm a happy camper. I feel like this place is a little more popular for take out, but I think it is also worthy of a sit in meal. I'm having the duck next time... Thanks!
The restaurant is located in a strip mall. We had a little trouble locating it because the DA part of the name is on the little chef character and not with the rest of the title of the restaurant which was cute. We were greeted immediately and seated in a booth. The menu is a big and completely laminated with pictures of the entrees. There were not many dine in customers but they were doing lots of takeout orders. The food I found was pretty good but what I really want it was a bowl of broth noodles, but it was a really hot day and I didn't think there was a good idea so we order Singapore rice noodles, and Mongolian beef, which turned out to be pretty good and if we ever in the area again, I would definitely come back.
I knew this spot was going to totally hit! Da Chef Noodle is serving up some authentic and special Chinese food, primarily known for their noodle soups. My only regret is having not tried this spot sooner but know that I know about it, I'll be coming here on the regular. This restaurant is a total mom and pop, local spot. No frills type of dining, just all about comfort foods and a relaxed causal atmosphere. Located near the freeway, it's easy to access and while part of a small shopping center they seemed to have plenty of parking. Signage was clear, this place was easy to spot. Once inside you'll notice is a cozy quiet spot. Old school decor and you're just coming here for the food vs the vibes. Staff was very nice and attentive. When I came in a young gentlemen was working the floor and take out orders. He pretty much covered the inside by himself but it was a quiet day, more to go orders then customers dining in like myself. I noticed inside they have a huge wall of pictures of some of their more popular menu items. Seems like primarily here they are known for their noodle soups and then more regular dishes like noodles, rice, some dim sum and classic Americanized Chinese dishes. I opted for the pork noodle soups (essentially like a wonton broth) but with noodles and pork. I also ordered their shumai which was a pork filling. The shumai were a 3.5. Not bad but average. I will say they were filled and large! So a good value. I just like more traditional dim sum like the kind I get back in LA but flavor wise it hit the spot. They have chili oil which made the dish. Without it they at least give you a light ponzu dumpling dipping sauce. The real star here was the noodle soup. The broth was light yet super flavorful. You can tell the soup simmers for hours as the depth and flavors were divine. Noodles were soft and cooked perfectly. The pork was just ok - probably next time would opt for their beef noodle soup. Despite the pork being average I'd still give the soup 5 stars as it was just so flavorful, comforting and exactly what I wanted. Prices were also very reasonable. Under $25 for a large bowl of soup and a massive order of shumai plus a soda. A great value for a sit down restaurant. I'm so happy to have stumbled upon this spot in the desert and love the old school vibes of this place. Definitely coming back and happy to now know about this great local business.
Pleasantly Surprised--Definitely Worth a Visit and added to my favorites on the area! I noticed some low reviews / hate on Yelp and almost skipped this place, but digging a little deeper I realized many of the 1-star reviews came from users with no photos, few friends, and only a handful of reviews--which often says more about the reviewer than the restaurant. So I gave it a try, and I'm glad I did. Da Chef has a quaint, mom-and-pop vibe that worked nice for me. The space was clean, the booth was comfortable, and my server was kind and attentive. The menu is a unique blend of Chinese/Cantonese and dim sum with a few Korean and Thai-influenced dishes sprinkled in. The menu and the walls are full of photos, which definitely tempted me to over-order--with to-go boxes in mind, of course. The braised beef noodle soup was decent, with a good amount of beef and a nice flavor with some cabbage, but a bit heavier on noodles than I expected and the broth leaned bland but it still worked, but I'd probably explore a different soup next time. The spicy cold noodles were a total win--super flavorful with green onions, cilantro, and fresh peanuts in a mild red pepper and peanut oil base. Would absolutely order again. The mushu pork was another standout--rich flavor with a hint of fresh ginger in a few bites. Loved it. For the quality and quantity, the prices were very reasonable. I'll definitely return. If you're in the area, it's worth adding to your list.
I saw all the 5 star reviews and looked at the menu. The Coachella/ Pass area has zero great American Chinese restaurants, ( most all are Thai) When I walked in the air smelled of spicy curry. I thought oh this will be good. I was promptly seated but no real welcome. Looked at the menu where soups appeared to be the big seller I ordered a wor Wonton soup General tsao chicken , egg rolls They served the food out of order with egg rolls last ?? I wanted this to be epic. What I got was flavorless broth with shredded onion rubbery pork slices 4 wontons and zero garlic / ginger/ bok choy taste. The chicken was deep fried and covered in sweet sauce. Kind of like Panda Express without flavor. It wasn't the pan fried burnt taste chili infused chicken that generally is the General T chicken and I kid you not 1 small crown of broccoli. Egg rolls came 1/2 way during the meal. Tasteless. They forgot my soda. Wasn't busy so I ate what I could and left disappointed. My only guess from the 5 stars is that the desert has lulled people into numbness. I won't be back. Lunch for 1 35.00.
I was in Palm Desert this past weekend to celebrate Mothers Day with my lovely 94 year old mom. Ended coming to Da Chef Noodle just before the drive back to LA. My friend and I decided to get some 'non-chain' Chinese food before getting on the freeway. The restaurant was perfect in so many ways. We were immediately greeted by a lovely,, bright and helpful woman who was to be our server as well. Our meal included: orange chicken, kung pao chicken and spring rolls. All of the food was fresh and steaming hot when served. We will be back!
3/5 stars. The service was good and quick to get food. The best dish had to be the spicy chicken! Tasted authentic and it was $5!! Was a chef special. The wonton soup tasted bland like vegetable water. Pineapple fried rice was pretty good. Had the flavor of Singapore noodles. The chicken wings were dry and too much batter.
If you like roast duck. Cantonese style duck was amazingly tasty. We also had the pork fried rice and beef chow fun that was great also.

I usually don't eat Chinese food since I'm spoiled by Chinese foods in la, however I decided to give this place a try , everything was great the noodles were little over cooked I can see they try to make it easier for older folks to eat, ima just ask for firm noodles next time , orange chicken was a little heavy on the batter but everywhere has its own style duck noodle soup was great nice and light broth, gyoza was nice and crispy, and fantastic service nice and clean ambiance. read more

As a new yorker, Chinese food is a staple. I've lived a lot of places since I've lived in New York and I have not been able to find comparable Chinese food. I was so incredibly impressed with Da Chef Noodle, I felt actually giddy joy when discovering it existed and then even more excited once I learned the food is as good as you think it is going to be when you walk in. Staff was low key but kind and helpful. I popped in on accident one night when I was in the area and have ordered several times since. My first fortune cookie read: You are in the right place for something unforgettable. And boy, were they right! The roast pork was sweet, tangy balanced perfect with salty. The walnut shrimp might be the best I've ever had and I've lived all over the world. Typing this now, I can't wait to go back. I'm new out here to the valley and didn't expect to find such incredibly delicious Chinese food. So grateful for this find! read more

This food lacked seasoning and flavor. The noodles are bland and mushy. The batter on the chicken is flavorful but once you've taken a bite you can sense the lack on flavor in the chicken. The batter of the shrimp is thick. The only good thing about the batter is that the crunch remains with travel read more
