It's no secret that finding authentic Chinese fare in Norwalk can be quite the quest, which made my…read morevisit to Chinese Dragon all the more intriguing! The atmosphere is wonderfully "home-style" it has a certain rustic, cozy charm that feels incredibly welcoming. While the décor is perhaps a bit more understated and modest than I had initially envisioned, the service was absolutely exemplary. Truly, I give the staff top marks for being so gracious and attentive! I decided on the General Tso's Chicken, and it was prepared to absolute perfection. It arrived at my table in mere minutes piping hot and bursting with flavor. It is exactly the kind of effortless, satisfying meal I adore. Full marks for the hospitality and the cuisine! I shall certainly be popping back in whenever I'm in the mood for a bit of comfort

In a change from a year ago, it's just white rice and no egg roll included with this dish. The Mongolian beef wasn't as flavorful as we remembered it. The portion was large and we were able to bring home quite a bit. Adding soy sauce did add flavor to it. The egg rolls were good. I love their hot mustard. This must be a trend in Chinese restaurants, but you can no longer get a glass of water. You have to buy a bottle. Seems a little strange. The people were pleasant

Everything was cooked so well and tender and the chicken was falling off the bone. Portions are also generous and feel this is a great value for the money spent.

The ambiance is nice, clean, and music in the background is not too loud, so can have a conversation with friends and family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you for the great meals!

This is has…read morebeen a family owned and operated restaurant providing service with care and attention - recognizing regulars like friends. Speaking of which, many times you'll see friends and family also dining here. They have a super takeaway business. I've provided copies of their menu to help in your takeaway ordering. Today, we had the dine-in lunch specials. Each lunch came with soup; we choose Egg Drop Soup and Wonton Soup. Both soups, see my pics, are full of ingredients and piping hot (particularly welcomed on this cold, windy day). Each broth was rich and flavorful. The wonton soup had crunchy veggies inside the wonton. The Garlic Chicken was full of flavor. The garlic while pronounced wasn't over powering. The diced water chestnuts were crunchy which complimented the moist chicken and was good carrier for the garlic sauce. The carrot slices added some flavor but really added more crunch. The side egg roll (also comes with the lunch special) was super crunchy and mildly flavorful. The brown rice was a great way to enjoy the remaining sauce. The Chicken with Broccoli had the same sides as the Garlic Chicken. However, its sauce was milder, yet still savory.

I went just before 8 pm on a Thursday night and was the only dine-in customer. There were some people standing outside talking, but other than a couple of carry-out customers there weren't many people there. The seating area was immaculate and they let me sit wherever I wanted. The server brought me a menu immediately. I ordered Mongolian beef. Meals come with rice, soup, and a spring roll. I ordered the egg drop soup and friend rice. The soup and spring roll came out almost immediately. I noticed that the soup wasn't just egg. There were actually pieces of carrots and celery in it, and it wasn't too salty like a lot of restaurant soups are. The spring roll had a crisp, flaky crust. I was so glad it wasn't soggy with oil. The main dish came out before I could finish my soup and before I could even touch the spring roll. The beef had a good flavor, and best of all it was not drowning in oil or some kind of sauce. I appreciated the food and the good service. I plan to come back soon and bring some more people with me.

This past Saturday a friend and I were out and about and we stopped by China Chef on SW 9th. China…read moreChef always comes highly recommended especially when you are talking about food on the South side of town! They're open for lunch and dinner Tuesday - Sunday. We were greeted right away when we walked in and were shown to a booth. Seating is a combination of booths and low top tables. It's easy to find and the parking lot wraps around both sides and the rear of their building. China Chef opened in 1996 so they've been around a minute. The owner passed a couple of years ago. The owner's wife and his son have kept the business open. The young man who seated us and served us is the original owner's grandson. His father spent some time visiting with us too. He was more in a manager role and working both the back and front of the house. Drink orders were taken first (Pepsi products by the can) and other drinks are available as well. We ordered a couple of sodas and an unsweetened iced tea. The menu is extensive... There's something for everyone. But it more or less open with a very bold statement... "The best egg rolls in town!" We got the Mongolian Beef and Chicken Lo Mein (extra spicy). The combos came with fried rice, an egg roll, and soup. Instead of soup we both opted for the choice of an extra egg roll. I mean... C'mon! If they are the best how can you pass that up? Lol The egg rolls ARE fantasic! Served obviously right out of the fryer. Hot, fresh, and crispy! The hot mustard on the table is pretty standard... It's Iowa nice. It doesn't clear your sinuses. The Mongolian beef tasted really good. I enjoyed the couple bites I had. I'd ordered the Lo mein with chicken (extra spicy)... This did clear the sinuses! Nah... It wasn't quite that bad. Lol But they took me at my word and definitely ramped it up. Amazing flavor and the heat was perfect! He said they have a special hot oil/chiles they use in the back. The one they use for their personal meals... If a customer asks for extra spicy...that's the one they use. These guys were great and I really enjoyed my time talking to both of them! The grandson is a senior this year and doesn't have an introverted bone in his body. Not even the broken one in his arm... His dad was just as outgoing and personable. We talked about the business, it's history, his father, some recent remodels and changes, the impact of the pandemic and the current economy, etc. Little things like the cost of being able to keep the menus updated. Seems like a small thing to a customer..., but having to print new menus every couple of months to meet rising costs can have a significant impact to a small business' bottom line. Standard table service and our lunch was $30ish before tip. While we were visiting I'd asked what I should try next time. We talked about some of the standard dishes, but as we were leaving the son came running outside and up to my car... I rolled down my window. He said "The crispy duck! You have to order the crispy duck next time!" Someone had just ordered it, it reminded him, and he ran outside to make sure we knew before we left. If I hadn't liked the guy as much as I already did...that would have won my heart! And I know what I'm ordering next time...! Lol A great first visit to China Chef!
