Very authentic and delicious. Also, extremely casual. Hot pepper chicken, veggie dumplings and chicken chow mein were big hits.

Yuuuuuuuum!! So glad we took a friend's recommendation and stopped here for lunch :) I went in thinking I was too full to eat much, but everything was so amazing we had no trouble finishing it all. We ordered orange chicken, pork pies, and steamed juicy pork dumplings - they were all hot, fresh, and so tasty! The orange chicken was super crispy and saucy which I love; not spicy at all with a nice orange flavor; and served with rice. The pork pies were pretty simple but crunchy and piping hot so no complaints there. And the dumplings. The. Dumplings. Were amazing (TT) Stuffed full of hot pork goodness and juicy like the name says. The soy ginger sauce they paired it with was perfection and I kind of ended up dipping everything in it haha. I left happy and full :) There's so many options on the menu, it'll take me forever to try it all and I'm so excited. We'll be back for more soon!!! read more

This is the best food ever! Never fails! The Szechuan spicy beef is really good, along with the steamed vegetable dumplings!

This has come to me as a Suggestion of a coworker who lives very close to the restaurant. Kodos and Xièxiè - The food was unreal, as a transplant from the District of Columbia area and loyal fan of China Town food. I decided to go with it for a HumpDay Night food run. As I work overnights. I placed the order on phone and hopped in the car and followed a very similar route to our "Tuesday Two-Piece Special" read more

Stopped in for lunch. Food was good quality as always but the people working have at least two different types of music playing at the same time. It was so loud sounded like I was in a cheap dance club instead if a good Chinese restaurant. read more

Tried this place for the first time last night. The food was pretty solid all around. The spicy Szechuan chicken was good but the quantity of chicken was very small. The main complaint I have is this plastic bit found in the chicken which made for a pretty unpleasant bite. Would love to speak with them more about this. read more

Took my girlfriend here. An we loved it! Food was so good. Has a great taste to it. Even the service was great,don't know if it a family runned restaurant. ,But they are doing a great job! Definitely will come back!! read more

Now this is authentic and we were super excited to have found this restaurant! We travel the world and are very picky where we eat, wanting very authentic food always. The menu is great, offering new things we haven't seen before. A place we go to over and over again! The schezuan chicken (don't worry, it's actually not that spicy) and juicy (soup) pork dumplings are a must try! And, the plain (side) rice is the best I've ever had! Nice, fresh flavor. Would love to know the brand they use! A must try restaurant! read more

I been here a couple times, I asked for my usual, the new waitress took my order wrong and refused to correct it. Thanks.

Staff was sweet and the food was delicious! We got the King Pao Chicken and Mongolian Beef noodles with Soup dumplings! Definitely coming back :) read more

Following are the items I normally order every time I visit Chou's: 1. Juicy Pork Dumpling 2. Cumin Lamb 3. Toothpick Lamb 4. Szechuan Chicken (Spicy) 5. Chicken Noodle 6. Mapo Tofu Servers are extremely fast and the taste of the food is always consistent. This is the only restaurant that has anything close to authentic Chinese (although there are room for improvement). My personal complain-not exactly complain but a suggestion would be introduce a tomato sauce infused with roasted garlic and Szechuan pepper for the Juicy Pork Dumpling, and those who are familiar with Nepali Momos, you know what I am talking about :) Everytime I visit Chou's and order Pork Dumplings, I wish I had brought some homemade tomato sauce (chutney) with me--Seriously, No kidding! The sauce that comes be default really doesnt go well with it. Again, this is my personal preference, others might not feel the same way. In a nutshell, place is a must visit while you are in Tempe, AZ. Cheers! read more

Delicious authentic food. Great fast friendly service! Fried rice is a must! Try them out

I came here last night for dinner. Order summary: A05 Spicy Beef, Tripe, and Tendon E07 Toothpick Lamb K12 Shandong Da-Lu Noodle Soup P13 Steam Juicy Pork Dumplings(10) The Spicy Beef, Tripe, and Tendon is a cold dish. The initial bite was good; however, the after taste was pure salt and made you crave water. I would stay away from this dish, it made me want to consider taking it back to the kitchen. Also, there was no spice whatsoever to the dish. The Toothpick Lamb was tender and had the right amount of fat. There was also a slight salty after taste to the meat. Lamb meat is not supposed to be salty, it's supposed to taste clean. Both the Shandong Da-Lu Noodle Soup and Steam Juicy Pork Dumplings are worth getting at this location. The noodles/dumplings are made from scratch, you can taste it from the texture. both dishes are tender and filling. They remind me more of home-style cooking than restaurant style. When coming here, you have to know what dishes to order for the best experience, otherwise you may get a dish over saturated in salt. read more

We read a bunch of reviews prior to coming which seemed to be good. They pointed across the restaurant for where we should sit. The server threw the plates on the table and walked away. Brought us one fork. lol! I asked for Chinese hot mustard, he brought back a half used bottle of KROGER SPICY BROWN MUSTARD. We ordered the pot stickers, they were gummy. We asked for sauce and they said they don't have potsticker sauce. They mentioned to use soy sauce. The food seemed to be microwaved. Not impressed at all. Yuck! read more

The Good: Some of the tastiest, most authentic Chinese food I've had in America. The house special sweet & sour pork tastes exactly like what I had during my time in China. The steamed juicy pork dumplings are not to be missed. The Bad: Some of the staff are less proficient in English and that can at times make ordering a little tricky. There are enough staff though that this is rarely an issue, as the staff who are fluent speakers have stepped in to help out on the rare occasion where this has been an issue. The Ugly: If you come during the dinner rush, Chou's can be packed. I'd call ahead or try to avoid peak hours. They're absolutely worth making time for though. read more

Got a delivery. Things started well with the juicy pork dumplings tasting good. And I open the other dumpling dish and there was a hair in it right on top. Nasty read more

Not the best soup dumplings I've had but also not the worst. I ordered takeout so that may have even been the issue, but I've orders from other places that didn't have that issue. Food was not bad just bland and needed flavor. Portion size was great but the stir fried noodles were just not hitting the mark on flavor. read more

I would have given at least four stars, but the service was absolute shit. So this is a Chinese establishment, as you know, and my friend and I are of Vietnamese (Southeast Asian) descent. We came into a Chinese restaurant and got our food after Chinese people who came in after us. If you don't know anything about Asian culture, look up how much East Asians look down on Southeast Asians. We were waiting there for at least half an hour before we got our food, so we just decided to bring it home. The food was good, and the service is good for anyone who is not Southeast Asian. Fuck this place. Only go here if you are of a respected ethnicity. Sorry if you are the wrong race like my roommate and I are. But maybe if you are lucky, you will get your food out in a timely manner. read more

I wanna give this one a 4.5! I went there for lunch today after failing at getting a good Chinese meal yesterday and lets just say this is the last place you'll have to look for Awesome Chinese food! I had the Juicy pork dumplings and the Cumin Lamb. The lamb was brought out first with a bowl of steaming white rice. The lamb was carved very thin, but packed full of flavor and spice! Just like all of the reviews, the Juicy Pork Dumplings are where its at! Perfectly steamed and dont waste your time trying to take it in two bites! I will be going there again, maybe tonight! The service is good, but they obviously know they have the best in the town. read more

Honestly, the food is delicious! But the mu shu Pork did not have the normally included plum sauce and crepes, the orange chicken was very light on sauce, and the portion sizes leave much to be desired! read more

Super delicious. Great service. Fast. Looked like they get a ton of delivery orders. The hot and sour soup is great. The pork and shrimp dumplings are amazing. Definitely will be coming here again read more

Big portion sizes for the price.. The orange chicken sauce had good flavor but the breading on it was soggy. The chicken was also dark meat which I'm personally not a fan of. read more

Wow...the food is amazing. Highly recommend however keep in mind they do not serve any alcohol...we did not mind! read more

If you like real ethnic Chinese food (as opposed to "Americanized") this place is the bomb! A great selection of mostly Northeastern Chinese dishes, there hasn't been anything on the menu that wasn't acceptable, and many dishes that are just amazing. On the mediocre side was the orange chicken, but all the cold and noodle dishes I've had have been good. I try at least one new dish every single time I'm here. But without a doubt the best thing on the menu is xiao long bao (Juicy Pork Dumplings, P13) - these are just amazing! Also extremely noteworthy are the House Special Sweet and Sour Pork (C08) -- this is unlike any "Americanized" S&S Pork dish I've had...a much better sauce and crispy flash-fried flat pieces of pork that curl up when fried -- it's like crispy pork candy! Recently I discovered the Salt and Pepper Calamari (F08) which is also fabulous, a great salt/pepper flavor and the best fried squid I've had. Service can be hit or miss, as mentioned in a couple of other reviews. It is very busy at lunch because of the University crowd (I regularly eat here with a group of 8-10) and a good mix of people of diverse cultures, who would find the food both familiar and exotic. Definitely a must-try place if you like ethnic food! read more

I can't imagine finding better soup dumplings or pot stickers than Chou's.

We saw a TikTok for this restaurant and thought to give it a try. When we walked in there was a group of 15 in the middle of the restaurant and not too busy otherwise. Once we sat down it got busy and our table was joined with another table but they needed it for another couple and left us with the small table and gave the couple that came after us the bigger table...our table could barely fit the plates we will eat on, and we ordered 4 items. We asked for a bigger table if one became available so they were kind enough to accommodate us. The food was slow to come out but understandbly so because by now the dining room was packed. Trouble is, when we received the food, it was cold. One dish came out when our other table was still being cleaned. We ordered soup dumplings and not even the spoon to hold the soup, when we asked for utensils they were the flimsy plastic ones. The saving grace is the food was good when it was hot, scallion pancakes were cold and when I heated them up at home they were delicious. We loved the beef stir fry noodles, super tasty and the beef was so tender. We also ordered the crab puffs and you can taste the imitation crab so that worked for us as well. Our last entree was the honey walnut shrimp and that was delicious but they never brought out our rice to go with it and at that point we gave up and just finished our meal without it. Overall, food was great but service needs improvement. read more

The food is really good. The staff is friendly. You can get authentic Chinese food here. The ambience is really good to eat by yourself or with someone. I have tried the chicken fried rice and the kung pao chicken so far and I really liked it. The spring rolls are worth a try as a side dish with all your meals. read more

Kungfu Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

We were told that if we wanted good Chinese that we were going to have to travel all the way to Glendale. So imagine my delight when I found out that all I had to do was travel right down the street from my husband's work in Tempe to find excellent family run Chinese food. I'm not talking about your typical overly breaded meat covered in red syrupy sweet and sour sauces, but delicately tenderize pieces of crispy pork covered in a ginger sweet-and-sour sauce of a normal color. I also highly recommend of their Mongolian beef, juicy pork dumplings, garlic chicken and vegetables, and many of the vegetarian offerings that they have. My boys love this place so much that they ask for any chance they get. read more

Honestly I don't usually leave reviews for places I visit but this particular chinese restaurant did not live up to the various positive reviews I was reading. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, vegetable fried rice, and vegetable egg rolls to go. The rice was decent ( it was the best item out of the whole order) but the sweet and sour chicken had a bizarre texture... maybe it was because of the steam in the box but the chicken was soggy, even when I went to eat it just 10 minutes after picking up my order. Not only that, but various pieces of the fried chicken had hard pieces that I bit down on when I went to chew. I can only guess they were cartilage or bones honestly but it was hard to tell. The veggie rolls would have been good if they too weren't completely soggy. The order made me feel that the food was sitting around for quite some time despite the pick up time being 20 minutes, which is about the time it took for me to arrive at the restaurant. As far as a good Chinese food place in the tempe/mesa area, I think other places would be much better read more

Great steam juicy pork dumplings! Wonton soup was also great. Szechuan chicken was't my favorite. The potstickers were also awesome.

The waiter is extremely rude when taking the order in. I asked for ordering some veggies, she just said no they don't have it, then I asked for another she said no and questioned whether I called the right restaurant. If you don't have the food on the menu then simply just be kind either tell the customers or at least update your menu than questioning whether customer call the right number!!! read more

I am a big fan of their mabo dofu. I can eat it for days on end. If you are interested in trying new kinds of Chinese food this is the place to go to. Spicy fish and clay pot are high in the recommendation list. They hand make all of their dumpling and noodles. They have classic Chinese dishes and American Chinese food. read more

Possibly top 5 meal of my life. Great noodles and dumplings. Could probably eat here every day of my life with no complaints. Service is great and simple. Beautiful stuff. read more

First Chinese restaurant since moving to Tempe Az from Washington DC. Bad experience overall. Was not impressed with the staff. Seemed like we were forgotten about. My wife and I did not think the food tasted good at all. Possibly the worst Chinese we ever had. We got to go boxes for all of the food because we had trouble eating it. I tried offering the food to a homeless guy in the parking lot and he didn't want any of it either. read more

Xiao Long Bao's are to die for. So is the schezwan chicken. I cant get enough of this place. On the other hand, the servers can be a bit warmer towards the customers. They seem hardly interested in their jobs. read more

I called only 20 mins ahead for a reservation for 10 on a Friday night. They had the table set and waiting for us when we arrived. The food was absolutely incredible, everything was amazing. The service was also great and it's very reasonably priced. read more

By far my favorite Chinese place in Tempe. The dumplings at this place are first to none. They are delicious and they are made to order. I will definitely make this my regular spot. The place is very clean and the staff are very quick to take your order and answer any questions that you might have. Try the juicy pork dumplings these are the best of the best. read more

Terrible service!!! I went in at 9pm they ask if it's for here or to go? Advice for here they act as if it's a issue and it's because they close at 10pm. I had questions about the Menu the waitress seemed bothered to answer. Once I got my food the beef wasn't good. I advised I didn't want it they take it away with no problem but than I see them pointing at me. So I ask for the check and to go box for my other food. I no longer wanted to eat there. While boxing my food up the waitress took the extra plates and all the napkins from the table not even leaving one for me to wipe my hands. I have never left a review for anyplace ever this is my first only because I don't get how they have four stars for shitty service read more
