We have been ordering from this restaurant for years and have always enjoyed the food. That's why this experience was so disappointing. Recently, the Orange Chicken has been dry and seemed less than fresh several times. I had mentioned it before, and it improved for a while. Before placing this order, I even left a note with my order explaining that the last Orange Chicken we received was dry, tough, and almost impossible to eat, and kindly asked that it be made with fresh, tender chicken. I don't know if that had anything to do with what happened next, but we were genuinely shocked by the customer service. I placed an order for pickup at 7:30 PM. When my husband arrived, the order wasn't ready, even though he had received a text message saying it was. We ended up waiting about 20 minutes. We completely understand that restaurants get busy, but when my husband mentioned that he had received a text saying the order was ready, the employee simply replied, "We're busy," with no apology or explanation. When the food was finally ready, he placed the box on the counter. My husband asked if he had checked that everything was inside. He answered yes, but with obvious attitude. When my husband asked him to check again, he did, threw the receipt back on the counter, and rudely pushed the box toward my husband. At that point, my husband looked at him and said, "You know what? You just lost a customer." The wait was not the real issue. We understand that delays happen. What disappointed us was the complete lack of courtesy, professionalism, and appreciation for loyal customers who have supported this restaurant for years. One unpleasant interaction changed the way we feel about a place we had happily ordered from for a very long time. read more

Best lunch special I've had in a while! My regular Chinese Spot is closed on Tuesdays so I called King Chef instead. It was $15 for the meal, delivery and a little over 20% tip. Delivery didn't take long at all. I got the honey garlic chicken with the sauce on the side, so the chicken was nice and crunchy, pork fried rice was delicious, it was all still piping hot and somehow the Pepsi was still ice cold. Honorable mentions: The portion was huge and the girl on the phone was extremely helpful and patient. Honestly this is exactly what I needed. They exceeded my expectations and definitely have themselves a new regular! read more

Stopped by here for lunch the other day. The food was good and they gave me a very good portion. The food tasted fresh and it was ready fairly quickly. I would go back for lunch another day and try a different dish. The staff was polite when I picked up my food. read more

It's been hit or miss here food wise. The food can be excellent, but is usually not. Like they don't really care about what leaves the kitchen. The employees are also as rude as Hell. Almost comically so. I said that I "Do" reccomend this place. I'm hoping they'll up their game. But I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them go out of business. read more

Posting an updated review, because after nearly a year, King Chef has become my go-to local place for American-style Chinese takeout. Every single time I order, the food is prepared consistently well, portions are huge, and the price is outstanding. One of their dinner combos literally has enough food to feed me for like 3-4 meals, and only costs around $12. That's insane!! My only critique of the food is that things here are not spicy, even if they're indicated as such. Depending on your tastes though, that may be a positive! Point on spice aside, the flavor is on point and I always enjoy my food from this restaurant. If you're unsure of what to order given the big menu, here's a few dishes that are always standouts: - Honey Garlic Wings - Fried Rice (pork or shrimp especially) - Sesame Chicken - General Tso's Chicken - Wonton Soup - Hot & Sour Soup - Szechuan Pork or Chicken - Roast Pork with Chinese Vegetables I am honestly baffled by the recent negative reviews, and I seriously hope you don't let them discourage you from giving this place a try. They're a great family-run place, and over the last year, I've only seen improvements in the flavors of the food. If you want a tasty meal at a great price, this is your place! read more

Not a huge fan of Chinese food to begin with, but this place scored higher than most. Had a nice experience with the staff, have seen from other postings that it hasn't been the case for many. Asked for medium spicy on my vegetable dish and got it. I feel most Chinese casuals drown the food in sauce, which is something I don't care for. Good amount of variety and plenty of parking make it a plus. read more

I really hate ragging on small businesses or family owned places but I had to write this one. I ordered on Christmas day so I will cut them ~some~ slack on being behind on orders, however, when I order at 5:45pm and your "food ready" time says 6:15pm and I don't end up walking out of the restaurant with my food until 8pm, we have a serious problem. This happened with basically every other person that ordered as well, a few of which decided to cancel their orders mid-wait. Average wait time seemed to be about 2hrs per order regardless of order size. The website description of their food items is not accurate for some of their options. I ordered a spicy chicken dish that was advertised as fried and tossed in sauce and it was came out as a tender chicken dish in more of a soup with vegetables. When I presented this back to the staff and showed them the description, they were very confused and said "this is how it's always made, I don't know why it says that". Great. After waiting 2 hours for food I wasn't going to make a hassle about partial refunds or demanding anything replaced with how many other disgruntled people were also waiting. Third - this is Florida. Keep your restaurant doors closed please. SO many bugs and mosquitos in the restaurant. I picked up a good amount of mosquito bites just waiting for my food. Food was decent, but not redeemable for my experience. Will not be returning. read more

I went back for the Mongolian beef! Savory n spicy. Service was quick as expected. Highly recommended this dish when you have a spicy food craving read more

I LOVR King Chef. Always piping hot, fresh, And delicious. One of the only places that will give me fresh steamed veggies as a substitute for rice in combo meal. Never disappoints. read more

Great spot for takeout. I've been going there since I moved here, in 2021 . Super nice family, great food! Moo Shu chicken is my favorite but I've had many of their dishes, all great! read more

Been coming to this place for years food is always good. Customer service is always good but definitely recommend more than five stars if I could. read more

The level of poor customer service from this place is insane. I've been ordering from them for years, yet the person who typically answers is extremely rude and combative as though he's giving food for free. Answering the phone yup arguing with a mistake they may have made. Unfortunately this person claimed to be the owner. I suggest you find another place of considering this place. They use to be better. read more

Excellent food fast delivery they go way out of their way to be polite taste just like New York's Chinese food only place I order from

The service was very nice.I only had egg rolls but they were delicious , the place was clean. I definitely will eat here again.

Since 2007, my family and I have been ordering food from King Chef for lunches and dinners. I even used them for catering business lunches and dinners. Every time my orders have been consistently prepared. Even recommended them to others who agree that they provide delicious meals. That is why we continue to use them. We are always greeted with pleasant smiles from the owners. I am a hard food critic and they have never disappointed me. So , if others experience differently, I would be surprised. read more

They are the best everytime my food is on time and it's cooked very good I love them the family does their best

I ordered the chicken in garlic sauce. It was delicious. The pork fried rice was also good. The soup needed to be heated but it was good. All in all, I would definitely order from them again! read more

Typical quality and price for cheap Chinese takeout. The food is adequate as long as you don't have unrealistic expectation or get ambitious with what you are ordering. Stick to the basics. King Chef serves the function of being the local takeout place, nothing more, nothing less. read more

I have been a regular for over 3yr and the food is ok but of late they have been quite stingy and unacommodating, by tacking on a extra dollar for a simple small request. I will give a thumbs up to the Hot & Sour soup BUT!! will never again patronize this restaurant out of principle. read more

This place use to be good not anymore. Ordered house special fried rice was mushy not one vegetable not even onion. Had no taste and only pork horrible. Chicken with vegetables was watery turned into a big puddle of mushy soup even though I requested thick sauce. Egg rolls are thin as paper. Save your money the worst Chinese food I have ever had. read more

Food is decent, but upon pick up was told an order of wings was 7. No apology, no accommodation. How hard is it to change a number on a web site?! This was our last order out of principle!!! read more

King Chef - FALSE ADVERTISING - Chinese Near Me - Plantation, Florida

I listened to a review on FB! Oh man, so bad! Leather boneless ribs. burnt smelling Lo Mein and a blah Happy Family....Total crap ended in the garbage disposal ....Learning to not listen to reviews...prolly the owners or relatives. read more

***FOOD POISONING WARNING*** We ordered a large order for 8 people, and EVERYONE got sick. I called them to tell them, and their response was "we don't care, we have 4.5 stars on reviews". DO NOT EAT THERE!!!!!!! read more

Decided to give King Chef another try for the third and final time. Not your average Chinese take out, average would at least provide beef in the lo mein. I ordered Beef lo mein and to my surprise, very little beef. When you pay $10 for a quart, it damned well better be pack with fucking beef and some vegetables. The battered sweet and sour chicken has very small pieces of chicken and mega amounts of batter breading. I prefer the thing crispy breading type used for General Tso's chicken. The type they serve was the "make it look big but give them little shitty sized pieces of chicken" The sweet and sour sauce was horrible, I couldn't eat that horrible crap again. Its hard to mess up Crab Rangoon but, they don't even fill up the damned wonton wrappers with the mixture.... RUFKM ? It so hard to find a Chinese restaurant with integrity. This place leaves much to be desired. I'm done with this place and I'll simply have to visit Siam Rice Tapas at 5071 Sheridan St, Hollywood where they always treat you great with adequate portions and magnificent food . read more

I was very nervous getting my food here because the inside of the place is not the most beautiful place I've ever seen. I'm not the most particular, but the dining room had a few tables and chairs and a tv propped up on two chairs. Oh, and the TV didn't work. Cut to the food being fresh, reasonably priced and very, very tasty. Would I order from here again? Absolutely. Would I ever dine in? You've got to be kidding me. The food is that good that I still will give it 4 stars. It's better eating at home anyway. You can order more food and eat it all in your sweats and no one will be able to judge you. read more

This is my secondary spot but I've been coming here for a couple of years now. The food is good and more importantly consistent. There is no wow factor and the 40 year old lady may have an adversion to dark skin people but that might be me being overly sensitive. They are faster most other places i think the rice is precooked and i don't mean white, i mean fried rice heated through. But i can't complain i eat it often and it tastes good. Do with review as you will. Its kind of all over the place. Try it or don't its a take it or leave it kind of place (2/28/2018) I must be a gluten for punishment, I went back for lunch and the health Inspector was there! one word "beware". It's not clean, not their prep area, not their walk in freezer nothing. don't go here, I never will! read more

King Chef - Chinese Near Me - Plantation, Florida

This is a first for me.. I am rarely in the mood for Chinese takeout, but last night I opted for delivery from King Chef. The food was awesome (or maybe I was just hungry), so I decided to give it another shot tonight. I have a strong feeling this will be my 'go-to' Chinese takeout establishment for the foreseeable future. The food is really good.. Normally the flavor of takeout is so overpowering that I can only eat it on occasion. The food from King Chef has a light flavor with a taste of freshness. I always opt to sub pork for shrimp in the rice and most places really skimp on the shrimp.. Not here!! Lots of shrimp in the rice - loved it. The only downfall is a lack of seating in their dining area. I assume most of their business is delivery based. read more

We have been customers for years and find this Chinese take out spot to be the best value and great taste (not too salty and no MSG). We usually get the family combo pack or select from their combination. read more

Im a customer for years always food is delicious, options to upgrade the rice for a great affordable price..... family business i remember the kids since they are little always sweet .... read more

would give a 0 star if given the option . Horrible and tasteless ! I order chinese takeout frequently ; this joint serves food not fit for human consumption . In addition , the portions are served in plastic small plastic bowls--probably equivalent to less than half a pint and then mostly filled with white rice . RIPOFF ! NEVER AGAIN !! read more

This is the only Chinese food we like. Very fresh and not salty. Everything we have had has been delicious! Very friendly family owned resturant. read more

Great service and good food! When you've searched yelp for hours and can't decide what to go eat, why not lay low and enjoy some great delivery! Tonight was just a night where the storm rolled in and we couldn't decide to go out or stay home. My boyfriend suggested maybe some Chinese delivery and since my mom was visiting from out of town and recommended Chinese food earlier it was a the perfect solution. He recommended King chef, but I was a little skeptical since many of the Chinese food delivery places we have tried so far have been so-so. I'm glad to say I was pleasantly surprised. The three of us ordered combos (Kung Pao Chicken, Orange Chicken, and General Tso's Chicken... all with fried rice and various soups). All three of us really enjoyed the soups we ordered, egg drop, hot and sour, and wonton. And the food was exactly as expected... and best of all each dish tasted fresh despite the late hour. (Not like some that we have had in the past from other places, where you could tell it's been sitting all day) Delivery was very reasonable and did not take very long. I would say this was a great place to order in from if you live within the area... the food is good and fresh. We each really enjoyed our dishes and we will certainly order from here again! read more

Thought I had written a review on this place......especially because we order from here fairly often.......OOPS Well it is about 1/2 mile from my house. And sometimes YOU JUST GET A CRAVING FOR CHINESE FOOD OKAY?! The delivery fee is like $1.50....HELLO! Their menu is very large. You can call to order or order online. I usually opt for ordering online...because socializing is a lot of work for me....But then you have to add about 5 min to the delivery time because it takes the restaurant about 5 minutes to receive the order. I have had: Crab rangoon--good but not as crispy with delivery Wonton Soup-very good and generous with the wontons Shrimp Fried Rice--not good, wouldn't order again, very dry and bland Singapore noodles--my absolute favorite! great flavor, huge portion (I get 3 meals out of it), lots of meat, normally chicken, pork, and shrimp Moo Goo Gai Pan-Decent, I like it with the white rice, a little bland....but hey thats the dish! Eggrolls-SOOO GOOOD! Very large and filled to the max! Great flavor. Sesame Chicken--not good, way too sweet, and texture is off. Either way too soggy or too hard to eat. Moo Shu Chicken--very good! Large portion. Pancakes are good, but have to eat them right away or they go stale! Bottom line. This is a typical takeout chinese restaurant. It is clean inside! It is fast and it is delicious! They have never screwed up my order either! Will continue to order! read more
