In the heart of tempe... near downtown ASU is authentic Sichuan food! You can't get this confused with regular take out chinese or Hong Kong style.. The food caters to northern style chinese food known for their spices. Price is perfect and even enough for 5 people we had plenty of leftovers. My favorite was the dragon eggplant and the hot pot with cucumber. Definitely will be back knowing everyone in my family loved it and it fit our bill. read more

Amazing! The best meal we've had in a while. The spicy cabbage was so flavorful. Lettuce wraps and spicy szechuan chicken were also delicious. There was a short 10-15 min wait when we ate dinner there on a Friday night. Service was quick, efficient, and friendly. Restaurant was a typical chinese food ambiance, but very clean. We can't wait to return. read more

Chou's Kitchen is easily one of the best authentic Chinese restaurants in the Valley (might I say THE best?!) and consistently nails their food quality every time. No visit to Chou's is complete without an order of juicy pork dumplings. Their soup dumplings are pretty hard to beat -- make sure to dip yours in their black vinegar sauce! If you're looking for a totally underrated dish, order their fried rice. Don't let the light color fool you -- it's sooo flavorful with plenty of 'wok hei,' for all my Cantonese foodies out there. This past visit was my first time trying their tofu with century eggs and I was pretty delighted. Great appetizer for all the garlic lovers out there -- and a great intro to century eggs for any newbies with an adventurous palette. Keep in mind that service can be slow, but they are friendly and always work as quickly as possible with the amount of staff they have. read more

A nice traditional Chinese restaurant in the heart of Tempe. They have many traditional dishes that are non-american Chinese food. They have those as well. Everything is cooked to order. Staff is on point and knowledgeable on all of their food. Large selection of items at a decent price with large portions. Definitely come and check it out if you want more than just American style Chinese read more

Chou's kitchen came to us as a recommendation as our other favorite dumpling place was closed. I didn't think their food was fresh. I also tasted that they rested entirely on MSG carrying the backbone of the flavor and for that reason I can't really recommend eating here for those two reasons. I rather skip on dumplings than go here. read more

Viewed their menu on their website and placed our order via phone. Our order was ready within 15-20 minutes. Dumplings with Pork & Napa Cabbage(10), $6.98: If you don't specify the default is steamed dumplings which is never my go to (but more traditional). I could tell that they are made in house as they were not perfectly uniform in size and the dough was thicker than premade dumpling wrappers. They did not come with a sauce. They were juicy but not the best dumplings I've ever had. Yangzhou Fried Rice, $9.98: Pale in color and soft, a stark contrast to fried rice you will get at most restaurants. Good imo because I don't love super salty soy-saucey fried rice. There were pieces of shrimp, beef, ham, and chicken throughout and standard frozen vegetables (carrots, peas, corn). Kung Pao Chicken, $11.98: Comes with a side of white rice. Upon unbagging our goods, the boxes were greasy from the spilled sauce. Messy. Although it was advertised as spicy, it was not. The flavor was good though! read more

Well if this has been sitting in your bookmarked folder for years like me, I'd say it's time to try this place. They have a variety of options on their menu. From traditional plates to American Chinese food like orange chicken if you want to be safe. But don't be safe! You're coming here to venture out, and try something new! If you're wondering what to get, I highly recommend their steamy juicy pork dumplings (soup dumplings) and toothpick lamb. The soup dumplings were juicy with a hint of ginger. The wrap was good texture and wasn't over steamed. Now for the toothpick lamb, we were on the fence about getting it but felt adventurous to try something new. It was friend lamb on a toothpick with a dry rub to give it more flavor. I believe it was a cumin seasoning and a spice similar to Chinese 5 spice. Anyhow try this place and try these dishes! Enjoy! read more

We were looking to order some Chinese takeout to celebrate Chinese New Year. This place was highly recommended on the Phoenix New Times, so we decided to order on Uber Eats. This place has more authentic dishes than your typical Chinese restaurant. We ordered some steam juicy pork dumplings, which are their soup dumplings. They came out perfectly and soupy (which means a lot for takeout since usually the soup dumplings are less soupy if they aren't served fresh). The dumplings with pork and pickled vegetable were very good too (but those aren't soup dumplings). I'd also highly recommend the stir-fried wood ear mushroom with Shanyao. This dish was really tasty and healthy! read more

Good food, excellent service. I used to live across this place, and this was one of my favorite go-to restaurants around this area. Their food is fresh and yummy, and their service is excellent. Everyone is so friendly!! This time, I had beef stew noodle soup and combo fried rice, omg... fried rice was so fresh and flavorful. I feel like they used freshly cooked rice instead of old rice for the fried rice, the sauce was good, as well as the meat. And the noodle soup broth tasted rich yet not greasy, so good. I'm sad I don't live close to here anymore, but that wouldn't stop me coming to this place!! read more

Came here on a Tuesday evening around 6pm with a party of 5. No wait at all which I was surprised as it's right on ASU's campus. I've heard this place is known for their soup dumplings/bao in general. My friends all agreed that they tasted really good. I also agree. For $11 you get 10 soup dumplings which is reasonable, and they're juicy. Good pork taste and fresh when we got them so they were really good. I also got hot and sour soup which is something I normally don't get as soup in Chinese restaurants is normally overpriced, but it was a good portion and had a respectable amount of egg, carrots, mushrooms. Overall good quick spot to get traditional Chinese food. They have a pretty big menu that has more traditional fare but nothing Cantonese/HK style so keep that in mind. read more

Very traditional Chinese restaurant. Very good food. We ordered stem fish and golden beef. Fish is very fresh and beef has Chinese spicy.

If you wanna go for authentic Chinese food, this is the right place. Speaking from a Chinese's perspective, I could tell the food was made by chefs from China for sure. It suits my appetite just right and god, how much do I miss the taste from home. What they put in to make those food were just right. If you are a Chinese food lover, this is a must to go in Tempe area. The vegetables are very light-sauced but giving enough taste so it's not bland at all. Calamari is a surprise just to get to taste the right salt and pepper spice in it. It's spicy and Szechuan style. Crunchy and chewy to every bite you have on it. The Spicy chicken is beyond good. They floured and starch-coated the chicken before frying it and it's how it's made to the right crispy way. Then they stir-fried it with peppers and peanuts. It gives out the heat and "wok hey" from the dish and you know what, that's what we called authentic! Service is good and the interior design is modern. Love to see they have this place very clean. It's one important factor I value a lot in a Chinese restaurant. Def a come-back place! 很难找到有很好很正宗的中餐馆但这家店肯定名副其实！点了三个菜，每个都很好吃。蔬菜很规矩也很好，油盐适中清淡。椒盐鱿鱼味道很足，吃起来脆脆的也有嚼劲。辣子鸡是真的意料之外地好！炸得特别酥脆，有给到那种特有的麻辣口感，配米饭吃真的很有在家吃饭的感觉。这种感觉就已经是五星的评价了！室内氛围也很好，环境很干净，服务态度也很好！谢谢能在美国也让我吃到另一边的味道！希望一直生意兴隆，美国需要这样的中餐馆！ read more

This location is nothing like the Chandler spot in terms of taste and quality of the food. Both locations are listed on their website and share the same name, so I was hoping the food would be the same, but it was not so. The ambience is fine and the location is good, but the food is akin to what you might get on a good day at Panda express. I'm not sure if the recipes are different, or maybe completely different ownership, but I was so disappointed with this location, as compared to the deliciousness of Chandler restaurant. I can't recommend this location but definitely highly recommend the Chandler location at Alma School and Ray. read more

This is a very solid Chinese restaurant very close to ASU Gammage where we attend shows. There are, several dumpling specialties as well as meat pies. And since we had never had ine of these delicacies, we tried the Beef. It was truly wonderful! Juicy, well seasoned and a great appetizer! For Entrées my wife had sesame chicken which is a standard for her, and it was very well executed. The sauce, wasn't overly sweet, and they didn't bury the chicken in it, which was another plus. I had the Cumin Lamb, which I also had never had, and I was not disappointed! It was beautifully seasoned, and was stir fried with onions, scallions, and bell peppers. It was a little drier than I expected, but the lamb flavor came through anyway. The chili flake gave the dish just the right amount of subtle, heat. Well done! Finally, I have to really complement the service. First of all, we were in and out in just under an hour and we didn't feel rushed. My pet peeve is having my Entree come out before I've finished my appetizer, and this place knocked it out of the park when I said we, wanted the meat pie to come out first, our very considerate server didn't even place the entree order because he knew it would be ready too soon! He blew me, away! Everything came promptly, and my water glass was refilled constantly. Not only that, but the whole dinner was under $40!! If you like authentic Chinese food and enjoy dumplings, etc., check this place out. You won't be sorry! read more

First time at Chou's about a month back. Coming from California, it seemed it was impossible to find good Asian food, but this place is legit. Food was amazing, service was very friendly. Dare I say the xiao long baos here are better than Din Tai Fung... Only downside was it was incredibly hot in here as if they didn't have central AC, which is unacceptable when it's over 100 degrees out. My friend was dripping sweat as we ate. read more

It was just okay. Decided to try them since they replaced Chou's. I really was expecting more flavor. The XLB had no soup and dumpling shell was thick. Sichuan chicken was good but I've had better. And the sizzling triple pepper beef was bland. Maybe we ordered the wrong things. The service overall was okay. Ask and you shall receive. Interior was fine. It was clean. read more

Witnessed an employee eating from customers to go orders. This review is a 3 because I'd like to preface this by stating that I love this restaurant. I've come here religiously since 2019 when it was called chous and I will continue to go here. But I would like to state that one time a few months ago my then partner and I went in to get our usual food and were essentially the only people in the restaurant. I turned around because my dumplings were taking longer than usual and witnessed a worker picking with her bare hands and eating food out of a take out box that had been put in the window. I didn't want to make assumptions because I was like, "maybe it's her food" but I thought it was weird because she was picking bits and pieces and eating them with her hands, so I kept watching. Not only did I watch her lid the box, and put it in a to go bag but I also watched her give it to the guy who was picking it up. I'm not sure if she still works there but that really grossed us out, and now I don't think I'd ever order take out from there again. I only eat inside when I go, and the food is wonderful, but that experience with that specific worker gave me the ick. read more

Best vegetable dumplings! They're made with mushrooms, veggies, and maybe some soy protein, and they're bomb. I've only gotten takeout but it looks like a nice space inside, and employees are always helpful. They're one of the only places who has actually made my food spicy when I request it. I've also had the braised tofu and mushrooms over greens (I'm vegetarian), both were delicious and big portions. Thanks! read more

So sad that one of our favorite restaurants in town had changed. When we last went it was still called "Chou's Kitchen" but quiet obviously the menu changed and many classics were gone such as 豆丁丁丁，酸辣粉 etc. Even the existing items do not taste the same and in general aren't as good as before. We now do not have a reason to go back as I think the change of staff and ownership is a degrade on the quality of food. read more

Chou's Kitchen is my absolute favorite Chinese place to go to, and it's super close! The General Tso's chicken is delightfully spicy, the side noodles are the perfect amount and stick together perfectly, and you'll always have some rice leftover!

Very much recommend it to anyone who wants great Chinese in Tempe!! read more

This place was MUCH better when it was Chou's. I had the "Hunan Style Spicy Duck Pot". It had good flavor, very spicy, but just one cut up duck neck, and a few very small pieces of duck meat in it! For $17.98 I expected some decent pieces of duck meat in it. It is a "Duck Pot" after all. The girl's at the register were not very friendly when I picked up my $70.00 to go order. I'll drive to Chou's in Chandler from now on! read more

My husband and I have been to the location in Chandler and we really liked it, so we were happy to give the Tempe location a try. We arrived on a Friday night, around 7:30/8pm. The place was extremely busy but luckily we were able to get a table. We ordered the cumin lamb, the beef pies, the house special stir fry (which means all meats - chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp), and the juicy pork steam buns. The cumin lamb was delicious and probably our favorite. My husband didn't really enjoy the stir fry and added a lot of hot oil to spice it up. I liked it but thought the shrimp was over cooked. The beef pies were really good as well. We were almost done with our meal and had to remind our server that we hadn't received our pork buns. Thankfully, after reminding our server, the buns were brought out relatively quickly. Overall, the food is really good and the service is quick and efficient. It's definitely worth trying if you are in the area and craving some good Chinese food! read more

Recommended? This place is okay. But wouldn't be my go to spot for Chinese food. Food: food is okay here. I know they have two locations. I think the one near ASU has better flavor. Price: portions are average from other Chinese restaurants I've been to. But portion size seems to be smaller than most places. I would say this is my 2nd time at "Chou's kitchen" but not this location. The first location near ASU seems to be pretty good and decent. However, I decided to try this location since it was actually closer to me. My family ordered 5 dishes, an eggplant dish, ma po tofu, a lamb dish, potato spaghetti dish, and pork. All were just meh which was kinda disappointing. This is probably why the names of the dishes weren't so memorable too. I honestly think the ma po tofu was the best one out of the five we ordered. It wasn't spicy when ma po tofu is usually spicy. So for people who can't take spicy food but always wanted to try ma po tofu then this would b a great choice. I liked that the plate came out steaming hot and the temperature stayed hot/warm the entire meal. They serve Szechuan flavor food but again, most dishes aren't very spicy or spicy at all. read more
