Unfortunately, most places that offer that flavor profile are pretty far from me, so I was excited to see cumin beef on their menu. China Chef has a pretty extensive menu with dim sum, wontons, fried rice, soups and a variety of meat dishes. They also have a large drink selection with fruit teas, milk teas, smoothies and iced teas. There's definitely a lot to choose from! I ordered the cumin beef and jasmine green milk tea with boba for delivery. The cumin beef came with a generous portion of meat and a separate container of white rice, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the flavor was a huge letdown. I was expecting something bold and packed with spices, but the dish was incredibly bland and one-dimensional. There was a faint cumin flavor, but it lacked the seasoning and heat that make this dish so good. It honestly tasted watered down and desperately needed salt and more spices. The jasmine green milk tea wasn't much better. First off, the drink had a slightly pink color, which I've never seen in a jasmine milk tea before. Taste-wise, it was basically overly sweetened water with a very faint hint of jasmine tea. There were also maybe eight boba pearls in the entire drink, which was pretty disappointing considering I ordered it with boba. Overall, I really wanted to enjoy this place, especially after looking forward to a flavorful meal all weekend. While the portions were generous and the menu has plenty of variety, both items fell short when it came to flavor. Unfortunately, this was a disappointing first experience with China Chef.

Our family favorites are Beef Broccoli; we love their kung pao chicken and kung pao shrimp. We recently tried the honey walnut shrimp and man those things are addicting, in a good way of course ;) We have done a few catering orders through them and the quality and service are always great. Plenty of seating and parking if you want to swing by and have a meal with family or friends. Ambiance is great and highly recommended China 1968.

I've been there before in person a few years ago and I ordered off DoorDash today and it still holds up really well. I ordered drunken noodles with chicken spice level 7 and the spice level was perfect. You can also add requests through DoorDash if you want anything extra, I got some chili oil on the side which I did receive. There was no extra cost for choosing chicken which was great but I took off a star because they did not add much chicken. I mostly got vegetables with some chicken so if you choose chicken I would request extra if you can. Overall the flavor was great and the vegetables were tasty. Great quality. Would definitely recommend this place.

We tried something new this time and though I forgot the name, it was 26A & delicious! I absolutely LOVE the extra touches here!!! Slices of lemon in the water & fresh flowers are small, yet beautiful little love notes to the customers that tell us we matter!! The restaurant is small, yet inviting and beautifully decorated. The artwork and woodwork are clear signs the owner(s) want to share a bit of their culture with us. The service comes with a smile, even when I ask for no bell peppers. We recommend you come hungry and with people willing to share, so you get to taste more dishes!!!

I did not enjoy the tofu and noodles I ordered. I thought the noodles were large not skinny and the tofu tasted and felt like wet scrambled eggs. Wanted crispy tofu but it is very soggy and unflavored. Vegetables were soggy and overcooked. I didn't eat my food and told the lady at the register it was not what was expected and I didn't want it.

Everyone who worked there was very nice. The worker who seated me was nice, and checked on me at least once while eating. And I had a different server who checked me out and gave me extra bags and boxes when requested. The sushi chefs even told me to have a good day as I was leaving, everyone super nice. The sushi roll was delicious, 10/10. I can't remember exactly which one I had though! I stepped out of my box with the fried rice because i usually get chicken or beef but I was told that that one was the most popular. It absolutely lacked flavor, not even salt and pepper. I gave it away to the homeless. 2/10 The chow mein was good, it's hard to mess that up. But it wasn't spectacular. 7/10 The spicy dumplings were a little disappointing, not that spicy, the sauce was more on the sweater side. I gave them to the homeless. 6/10 The honey walnut shrimp was good but was very very sweet, like sweeter than any other one I've had before. After 3 I had to stop eating it. But the crunch was excellent. I did end up giving them to the homeless lol. 8/10 Pad Thai Tea was good, not too sweet! Perfect blend. 10/10
