What in the name of teriyaki sadness is this? Ok... I want to be fair and full disclosure. We ordered 2 things, white rice and teriyaki beef. The pros: the white rice and the staff were good. The con: Who in their right minds serves 5 beef teriyaki sticks that have less meat than one normal teriyaki beef from any other place. But seriously.... each stick looks like a sad worm that's been starved. We come up here often and can say that we will probably not be trying anything else in fear that it might resemble their teriyaki beef. read more

The China Chef - Chinese Near Me - Conway, New Hampshire

We took takeout from this restaurant, and the service was courteous and quick, and the food was wonderful. The owner, Mr. Ho was a gracious host. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

My husband and I both thought the food was great, better than we've had in a long time. General Gau's Chicken and Sesame Chicken were outstanding and the service was wonderful too. read more

Adore this place. Been coming here since I was little, and it's always remained the same (in the best way). I've lived in major cities like Chicago and Los Angeles (where I currently live) and I have to say China Chef is still my all time favorite Chinese restaurant. They make the best Sesame Chicken I've ever had & hope they're always here when I come home. Thanks for another fabulous meal guys!! Always, Charlotte read more

Awful!! This used to be a fairly OK Chinese restaurant, but it has gone downhill very badly. Dinner there was terrible. The hot & sour soup had almost no solids and was just hot with no flavor. Egg rolls were burned, and the Phoenix and Dragon dish consisted of a few shrimp in a tasteless red sauce and over-cooked chicken accompanied by broccoli so old that it was white not green. We were really upset and disappointed. The service was OK, read more

Takeout only at covid compliant restaurant. Too bad cause it looks quaint in dining area. Had lunch menu so so smaller portions. The general gao chicken was some of the best I've ever eaten. Big chicken pieces in spicy sauce. Delicious. ( no photo all gone) Wife had chicken lo mein with chicken fingers, loved both. Crab ragoon was good too. Definitely stopping by when in town again. read more

Sesame tutu with broccoli Was Ok and pretty sweet. Sweet and sour seafood Was Ok and had a little bit of spiciest. Fried string bean was not bad but very salty. read more

Great food, great service, the owner is extremely friendly. Although they presently have take out only, the food is exceptionally good

The best around .. everything was excellent .. boneless ribs are great and not fatty at all , pork fried rice is the best, rangoons and egg rolls the best .. highly recommended this place .. and owner is super nice .. read more

In our travels, we stopped for something different other than McDonald's, Burger King, etc. So, we chose take-out from China Chef. Worst choice ever made! I ordered Pork Fried Rice, Lobster Sauce, Chicken Fingers and Fried Shrimp. My wife ordered the Chicken Lo Mein. We had some ways to go before we got to our hotel, so we didn't get to look at everything and discover that they had the gall to sell us Pork Fried Rice that must've been at least a day old, Lobster Sauce that looked like (sorry to be so blunt) the contents of a backed up toilet bowl and the Lo Mein also looked a day or two old. The only edibles were the obviously recently fried Chicken Fingers & Shrimp. Even the Fortune Cookies were old. We threw away the Rice and Lo Mein. Because we had to be on the road early morning, I didn't drive back there to get my money refunded. I wouldn't serve that shit to my worst enemy. They obviously take no pride in their work and have no shame! read more

I really wanted to like this place but their food is just meh. My son wanted Chinese so I ordered white rice, chicken wings and chicken and noodle soup for takeout. The chicken wings were not crispy or flavorful. The chicken noodle soup wasn't flavorful either and the noodles were a little mushy. The white rice was fine. There were a lot of customers inside the restaurant when I went to pick up my order so maybe the food is better if we eat in?? I will add that customer service was awesome and the cashier was super friendly (that's my added star). read more

Great Chinese food! Same owners for 30 years. I really enjoy talking to them when waiting for take out! This is our go- to place for Chinese when in North Conway! Such nice people & great food!!! I definatly recommend it read more

It was MLK Day weekend so Conway was reasonably busy but this restaurant didn't have enough staff. One cook and one poor woman answering the phone. I waited almost an hour to get the food and it was hot but truly not the best Chinese Food. Pretty greasy and bland. That said, our order was accurate and the food was hot so ymmv. read more

Do not eat here. The quality of the food was poor quality. Our egg roll tasted several days old. The rice had no pork in it and was this horrible brown color. The consistency of the chow mein was watery the same as the chicken with broccoli. read more

China chefs lomain beef kungpow and hot & sour soup are really good makes for a great lunch take out

Ordered a pork fried rice, boneless spareribs and chicken wings, a lunch special #11. The two chicken wings were as expected, as were the seven mini boneless spare ribs and two beef teriyaki. The "pork fried rice" was 100% white rice w/soy sauce poured on for color. Absolutely zero spring onions, carrots, broccoli, yellow onions, egg, bean sprouts, veggies, or pork. What cheapskates! One of the two restaurants that I've ever walked out. If you rec'd what was attempted to be served on me, and eat it, then you must think McD's serves steak. read more

The China Chef - $6.95 plus 9% tax for this? Pork fried rice is 100% white boiled rice loaded w/soy sauce and zero veggies or pork. - Chinese Near Me - Conway, New Hampshire

This is my go-to for Chinese in the valley (with Peking as a close second, as I grew up with it). But there is something about the food at China Chef that makes it come out on top. It just seems as if the ingredients, especially vegetables, seem more crisp and fresh. I also feel that it's a bit less greasy than the competition. The service has always been kind and prompt. And the prices are average, what you'd expect in my opinion. I have come with my family and eaten in the dining room, as well as with friends and sat at the bar. The owner has always been welcoming and friendly, and I have never had any complaints about my food... not in presentation, taste, quality not quantity. As far as I'm concerned, this is THE place to get Chinese food... and scorpion bowls. read more

I am not from this area. My family and I were searching for a place to order food from. Well I wish like hell that I read the reviews before I ordered from this place. My husband ordered the general gau's chicken dinner combo that literally came with 4 small pieces of chicken. I ordered the chicken finger dinner plate with plans to share them with my 2 kids who eat like birds. This came with 4 chicken fingers which I was expecting, however they were approximately 2.5 inches long by .5 inches wide. We couldn't help but get a good laugh at how pathetic our meals looked. They had NO flavor to them. My meal also came with chicken wings that tasted like they were cooked in a food dehydrator. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT order from this place! 1 star is too high of a rating for this place. read more

Great food and prices. Love the hot and sour soup and the house sweet and sour dinner

I lived in North Conway for close to 30 years. I frequented China Chef many times. I was never disappointed. I really miss the place, and the owner is truly a nice man! read more

Full disclosure, went once last year xmas eve, and it was very fair. Today, not so much. My brother said he feels sick, and the poo poo platter was beyond terrible. I don't write many reviews unless I feel wronged. Either 1. This place got sold to someone else (and that's why it sucks), or 2. They completely could give a shit less and are not consistent. Either way, is unacceptable. Will not go back. No excuse for a restaurant. read more

HORRIFIC HORRENDOUS DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!!! Ordered food at 11 am to be picked up at 7 pm. Get to the restaurant at 6:59 and there's a miserable crowd. I ask how long it will be and they say they don't know and if they told me a time they would be lying to me..... I say we ordered at 11 am for 7 pm . The cashier looks at the clock and says well it's not 7 for us ( by now it was after 7). They pick up and hang up the phone instead of answering and engage in inappropriate behavior with a random customer " my sister is having a baby today but I'm not going she never came to my kids birth so why do I care" then cashier grabs her phone while running the customers credit card and yells "I'm not bringing you your f******* money loser!" And throws her phone. I ask her to check on the food as she says that she has to staple receipts first and proceeds to staple receipts...... DO NOT COME HERE read more

Mediocre greasy food. Horrible business. Got seated in an empty restaurant right away and were told to put in our food as quickly as possible as they were busy. We put in our drinks and an appetizer as we were seated. We ordered our main course about 5 minutes after being seated. Over 45 minutes later, we still had no appetizer but had already long finished our drinks. After asking our waiter a couple of times what the delay was, we asked to speak to the manager. The manager/owner came over and told us we needed to be patient because they had a lot of take out orders. I don't know what type of restaurant runs on giving priority to take out orders vs. customers who are dining in and paying your valued staff their tips. Absolutely horrific. I will never, ever, ever (there are actually not enough ever's I could insert here) go here again. read more

The only reason we stopped by here was because it was open after 9 PM and we weren't very far from this location. The other low ratings on Yelp are justified as the quality of food is poor. We ordered shrimp fried rice, chicken with cashew, and chicken with pineapples. Shrimp fried rice was great, but the other two were meh. There was no spice in the food. It was a very bland tasteless dinner. That being said they have a nice seating area and I'd recommend this restaurant provided you order well. read more

Last time I ate here at China Chef was back in 2008 and since my go to place in town has changed I wanted to give them another try. After a long ride to the notch on Conway Scenic, a scorpion bowl was calling my name. We were seated right away, ordered our drink and it came out fairly quick. The Scorpion Bowl was on point, so we ended up getting 2 :-D. The dinner plates came out within reasonable time as well and the food seemed like it has gotten better then it was in the past. Their fried rice is surprisingly good and I really like their crab rangoon. Our waitress was a nice girl and the prices on everything are so affordable for a nice dinner. I think this is my new Chinese go to spot. read more

Next time, we'll stop somewhere else. The portions were small, which is a good thing considering the food was bad. But wait, there's more! Our waiter didn't check in on us at all, unless he was bringing us food. When he did visit, we were left wondering if our dietary restrictions information (nothing drastic, just no nuts/sesame, no MSG) had made it to the kitchen. The last straw, however, was when an extra charge appeared on our check for a substitution, a charge not listed on the menu. The manager was very nice about it and immediately rewrote our check without any fuss. Nonetheless, we both felt very unwell on the way home, and for hours afterward. We will not be eating here again. read more

Portions are smaller than average Chinese Restaurants but taste was good. Don't think about sharing get your own plate, you'll stay hungry. There is no free refill for soda and you don't get extra napkins unless you ask for it...I rather spend 7.75 on a Combination Platter than at KFC... It's not a fancy Chinese restaurant but it's good for a quick meal...would go again of I'm in the area and looking for a cheap meal. read more

Average Chineese food. I ordered the General Tzao's dinner combo and a soda to go. It came to $12.00 even. It came with crab rangoon and I asked if I could substitute an egg roll for it but was told it would be expensive to do so. The man behind the counter was very friendly and conversational otherwise. The order consisted of 5 fairly large pieces of tender chicken batter fried in a spicy sauce, a few florets of broccoli, a crab rangoon and some fairly uninspired fried rice. There was containers of hot mustard (with a great hot kick) and a very thin duck-type sauce. I usually can only eat half an order of General Tzao's takeout but I polished this off. The portions are on the light side. Overall, average but not horrible. read more

We love china chef! Our go to for Chinese food in the valley. The general taos is delicious from here!

Best Crab Rangoon I have ever had. Crispy and hot. Actually the egg drop soup was delicious too and so was the Mongolian Beef. We asked for spicy and got it. Everything was delicious! If I wasn't a tourist I would make this my Chinese restaurant spot. read more

There's nothing special about this place. Between my girl and I we had the lo mein, kung pao chicken, egg drop soup (which was insanely lava-levels of hot - how about serving it a bit closer to ingestible temperature?!) and crab rangoon. Nothing was exceptional or terrible about anything we ate but then again nothing was really good enough to bring me back here either. read more

Food was horrible. Over price for the food. I don't want to give them any star. Oh by the way I order wonton soup only have 3 small wonton on it. read more

Girlfriend went in to pickup order, said it was exceptionally clean for a Chinese Restaurant. We had the won ton soup, the Chicken with cashews and 2 egg rolls. Different than NJ Chinese food. The portions are smaller the egg rolls were thinner, the crunchy noodles were different than we are used to. . Food was overall good.. Service was fast, was ready when we got there and we were in and out quickly. read more

The food was very poor quality and items were missing from our order. The dumplings were terrible and, the egg rolls were thin and tasted old. The chicken chow main was thin like soup, pork fried rice looked stained brown with nothing in it. Very disappointing read more

This place serves crap do not eat here . Ordered pupu platter for 3 the food tasted days old would not recommend it to anyone

Very poor food. The worst fried rice in the world. How about adding 11 cents worth of vegetables Ho?

Just grabbed take out from there. Number 5, 11, and scallion pancakes. $18.15 was the total. Service was quick. Food was awesome. This place is the best in the valley at half the price. Definitely I must return visit is in the cards. Perfect. read more

If you think you want chinese, think real hard about it before you order from this place, then try something else. As mention by others portions are small, but even more disappointing is the taste of the food, ugh. Even the duck sauce tastes awful. Gen gaus had too much breading, Mongolian beef was sparse with beef and overloaded with too many onions. Spring rolls were awful, even the chicken fingers sucked. Do yourself a favor and order pizza from elvios much better and cheaper! Should have realized there was a problem when I went to pick up the place was deserted at 8 on a school vacation week. If you want instant success open up a decent Chinese place next door you will kill it! read more

HO IS THE MAN! My girlfriend and I went here every night of our vacation for our date night. We were served at the bar by HO! This man is extremely friendly and has a great way about him. We got to know him and his restaurant over the week we were in town. Very friendly. The last night my son joined us for dinner and he couldn't have been nicer. The food is hands down the best Chinese food in North Conway. The prices are fair but overall the entire experience was great. Best of all to Ho and his friendly, affordable Chinese establishment in North Conway. Keep up the great work! read more
