I had the beef lo mein with brown rice and egg drop soup. I ordered an egg roll as I always do. It was so hot it was hard to eat but so good. Hubby had chicken chow mein with brown rice and egg drop soup This place is always consistant and the food is always made fresh. It is always clean & the servers are great The egg drop soup is the best either of us has ever had read more

Finally, a Good Ethnic Restaurant -- With Some Caveats A neighbor recently told me about what they considered the best restaurant they've eaten at in The Villages -- a Chinese restaurant. They were so impressed on their first visit that they brought another neighbor along the second time, someone who owns a fine‑dining restaurant and is essentially a Michelin‑level chef from Washington State. He loved his dish as well, which definitely raised my expectations. Today, my spouse, two friends, and I decided to give it a try. As someone Asian, I'm not easily impressed by restaurants claiming to serve "authentic" Asian cuisine. I look for specific flavors, presentation, and a level of authenticity that matches the culture they represent. When I walk in, I look at what people are eating and who's working in the kitchen and dining room. Our server greeted us with a very thick accent and struggled to understand our questions about the menu. We found ourselves repeating things several times, which made ordering a bit challenging. When I began placing my order, I told him my first dish -- Shrimp Mei Fun -- and before I could continue, he immediately turned to my spouse for his order. I had to stop him and let him know I wasn't finished. The food came out quickly, but during the wait, no one checked on us or offered drink refills. When one of our friends' dishes arrived, the server said something none of us understood, and she seemed frustrated that we didn't respond. Our friend eventually realized the dish was meant for her -- except it wasn't what she ordered. She asked for Kung Pao Chicken but received General Tso's. She decided to keep it, and fortunately, everyone else's orders were correct. Now, the food itself? Delicious. Truly. If I were rating only the dishes, this would be a solid 5‑star review. But service matters, and unfortunately, the service fell short in several ways -- communication issues, no follow‑ups, and an incorrect order. Because of that, the best I can give is 3 stars. I would return, but only for takeout -- and I'd double‑check the order before leaving. It had the potential to be a great spot to bring my Sunday golf group, but after today, I don't think they could handle a party of 16. read more

This spot is officially my go-to. Food is always fresh, the place is consistently clean, and the portions are just right. Most importantly, they're reliable -- there's never a bad meal here, and that consistency is hard to find. Their hot and sour soup is a standout. Easily the best within a 20-mile radius -- perfectly balanced, full of flavor, and done right every time. Everything on the menu delivers, and they never disappoint. Pro tip: don't skip the spare ribs. Finger-licking good and a must-order. Mic drop: when a restaurant gets freshness, flavor, and consistency right every single time, it stops being a place you try -- it becomes a place you return to. This one made the cut. read more

Nice tasteful decor, clean, quiet, great food and service every time. We live 40 minutes away, well worth the drive.

Heard that this was really good. Decided to have it delivered. The food was not hot, not much flavor. Paid xtra for fried rice that wasn't fried very much. The chicken was moist but not enough sauce. No soy sauce or duck sauce in the bag.we got pork lo mein, not much flavor and we got sesame chicken.suppose to be sweet and spicy but not Delivery was fine with no problem. read more

Just finished up at the Quest Diagnostics lab; it was noontime and we were feeling a need for Chinese food. As usual the restaurant was quite busy, although we experienced no delay in being seated. We decided to reprise an earlier meal that we had really liked: The appetizer that consisted of eight pieces of batter dipped, deep fried chicken wings and drumsticks. My wife and I split this order of appetizer between the two of us for lunch, and we each had a cup of hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup needed to be warmer, but it had its usual rich and luxurious flavor. For added taste enjoyment, I asked for a small bowl of the house chili oil to add to my H/S soup. Had enough of the house chili oil to also use some on the wings. The wings were really hot and fresh, and they hold their heat throughout the meal. (Photo is H/S Soup, chili oil, hot tea) read more

Excellent Chinese restaurant. Staff are very friendly and all are super helpful regardless of who takes your order, The food tastes great. Soup was loaded with won tons. Shrimp and snow peas had plenty of both. Small bustling place with cute decor. Will definitely go back. read more

Excellent food and reasonable prices. We started with the bang bang shrimp, it was perfectly cooked. I would have liked it a bit spicier, but it was good. We also had the orange chicken and the pork with garlic sauce, both very good. The egg fried rices is a must, it was delicious. Very cute restaurant, the decor was perfect- warm, cheerful and welcoming. The staff was very attentive, excellent service. We can't wait to go back! read more

Food was good but there were 4 of us. Two got there's first. 3rd 10 mins later 4th 5 mis after that Just need to get better at timing

Best Chinese food in the area!! The restaurant itself is very nice and beautifully decorated. Service is wonderful and the food..the food is amazing. We had lunch specials- Kung Pao chicken and the Orange chicken. Each came with a choice of rice, and a soup or spring roll. Their wonton soup is the best. Both dishes were delicious. It's our new favorite!! read more

The sesame chicken had no sesame in it. the chicken had no taste. the pork fried rice tasted like white rice This is worst food I have ever eaten read more

Surprisingly packed for a Chinese restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. That's a good sign! Luckily we got a booth before the 5pm crowd. For a starter, I highly recommend the Won Ton Soup, super flavorful. The Pu Pu Platter was just so-so, I would not order again, I left it half eaten. I enjoyed my Mongolian Beef, no leftovers! My husband also cleared his plate of Orange Chicken. The service and staff were very attentive and checked on us consistently throughout our meal. If you're in search of a solid Chinese spot, look no further! read more

Packed in so many people it was gross so went to counter to order . one of the severs literally pushed me out of the way didn't say anything all four of us witnessed it she is lucky I don't get an attorney how hard she pushed me !!! the main lady was on the phone and never got off to take our Togo order ... first and last time we will try it went to Publix got carry out Chinese which was probably better than this gross place. Don't put up with this place packing you in like that they just want to save money on space . It's boarder line illegal and unsafe !!!! read more

This place was great. Good food, friendly staff, clean, and I liked the decor. Their menu even has gluten free items clearly labeled which is much appreciated. Thank you! read more

We just moved to The Villages a few months ago and I was going to start experimenting making Chinese food at home because we didn't know if a good place to go. So we tried Kung Fu chef and ordered the cashew chicken to share. Let me tell you it was very flavorful and the portion was great. Maybe not for two people but for one it's plenty. We also ordered hot tea but if you order hot tea specify which kind you want from the menu before they go to get it, otherwise you'll get black tea. I thought we were getting a green tea but they offered to change it out but I just said no I didn't specify so that was fine. read more

Probably the best Chinese restaurants in The Villages, in a sea of Panda_Express knock offs. This place would not make it in an urban setting with competition, but for The Villages, it's an ok alternative. read more

Wife and I go here frequently. Never disappointed. Large menu. Quality food. Highly recommended.

Horrible experience for this dinner and maybe it was a one off however my party of 5 have expressed it will be awhile before they return or even if they return!! There was significant wait time to place our our and an even longer time to receive or dinners which where brought out 1 item at a time with 5-10 minute intervals between. My dinner was the last one to be brought to me only after realizing the server has served my dinner of Beef Broccoli to another table. So not only had my party had all their food but another table - 1 person had their food and the rest of their party had none! items ordered: Walnut Shrimp - tasted of stale Fried Shrimp with overcooked Walnuts over a bed of lettuce Bang Bang Shrimp - Dry Sauced Shrimp over a bed of lettuce Garlic Beef - Overly Sweet tasting - not sure why Broccoli Beef - Had no flavor & certainly did not "taste" of Broccoli Beef Our table was not the only table to have issues this night. I noticed one table has completed their dinner and had to wait 15 minutes to get their check and another table their dinners were missing food items. That table had another destination to get to and had not time to eat their food, since their food took as long as ours and asked for to-go containers. They didn't even wait for their check and went to the counter to pay their bill. read more

Dining room is clean and nicely decorated; attentive wait staff. Food is unique and far above average for strip mall Chinese. Quick service. Can't go wrong with this one. read more

It was recommended to us as the best Chinese around. The food was very fresh and the place was super clean and very busy. It's a smallish place with maybe 12 booths and some tables in between. Takeout was super busy too. People who order takeout have to walk thru the restaurant to pick up. They probably need to figure out a better option for that. I got a big glass of Pino grigio for $6.50 and we got a pu pu platter and I ordered Sesame chicken dish which came with won ton soup and a spring roll. That was plenty for the two of us so we took the leftovers home. Would definitely go back!! read more

Something has changed. We used to go here quite often but lately they have really been off. Im not sure if they have changed staff or exactly what's up. The service is not the same because when they finally take you order they seemed really impatient. A major issue is the distancing between the tables on the right. They are so close you sliding your buttocks onto the table next to you. It really is ridiculous to be sitting so close you're almost part of the conversation next to you. Something needs to change or we(and our neighbors) won't be back. read more

The service was excellent. The decor very pleasant and clean . Good selection of food on menu - the wontons in my soup were excellent - the spring roll was mushy inside and tasteless - I had the shrimp with Lobster sauce one of my favorite dishes the shrimp were big and tasty the sauce I had never had it so thick before and it was lacking taste / fried rice was an extra charge and not worth it . My husband had happy family- no flavor - the sweet and sour spare ribs were good but very messy and extra napkins should be brought to the table when served this was a we tried experience / been there done that - no interest in going back read more

Amazing food and service. Their Mongolian Beef is really good! Ask for their homemade spicy mustard!

The food was anything but Chinese food. It was a close resemblance but lacked in quality & taste. Service was average and the atmosphere was good. read more

Food is excellent and spiced the way you like it. Large portions and many take homes.

The Villages, from my experience, is characterized by mediocre chain restaurants and a lack of culinary sophistication and authenticity. KungFu Chef, on the outside appears to be another, Americanized Chinese dine in/takeout. However, the food here is actually pretty darn good. Well prepared and a reasonably diverse menu, it's an oasis of Asian comfort food in a desert of bland options. read more

I've been to this restaurant several times. Always for takeout. Never ate at the restaurant. Food was always hot and delicious. I will continue to patronize this restaurant for takeout. read more

Likely the best in the area. They use quality ingredients. The steak in my low main was super tender, the shrimp are large and not over cooke, and the chicken potions are large and soft. The batter on the fried dishes is super crispy. Really happy with the honey walnut shrimp. And the heat level on general Sao chicken is perfect without having to ask for more heat. read more
