Wow! Just had a fantastic Chineses lunch at Ft Chef. The restaurant is located in a former Chinese restaurant that still bears its former name, so don't be fooled, it IS Ft Chef.
First off, bring your cell phone. Ordering is done online. The menu is truly authentic, with a separate Americanized section. There are plenty of choices. Today, we had the kung pao tofu, orange flavor tofu, and dry fried green beans. I've been around awhile, and the quality of the food that was brought to us and the techniques used to make it were reminiscent of some of the best Chinese I ever had. This isn't your ordinary take out joint. This is true Chinese culinary cuisine. Both tofu dishes were served with white rice and were prepared exactly the same way, with the difference being only the sauces they were finished in. The fry on the tofu was so perfect, each bite created a flavor orgasm in my mouth. We opted for fried rice on the side of the green beans. It was close to the fried rice of my youth in Brooklyn; brown (not yellow) with pieces of egg and peas. It was also made to order and not served from a massive pot. The green beans were tremendous & perfectly made. Not greasy & cooked to perfection with level of flavor that a green bean dish doesn't usually achieve.
Service was excellent and friendly. Atmosphere was OK, but who cares, the food was spot on. Sooooo good. Going to go back again & again!! read more
