Chef Chao Restaurant

Great food and heart-warming service! A little on the sweet side 🥹

We’ve been coming here for over 30 years and it is the best Chinese food we have ever had. We moved out of state 6 years ago but visit regularly and always include Chef Chao with our family. We have not been able to find anything close to as good where we live now. We also always love visiting with Johnny and Kenny, who have been there the entire time we’ve been coming.

I used to love this place and ate here all the time when I lived in Moraga, but it's seriously gone downhill. We ordered $95 worth of food, which was way too much for what we ordered. The person taking my order got two dishes wrong. The food was the absolute worst Chinese food I've had in my life. The egg drop soup had zero flavor, nobody wanted to keep any leftovers because it was that bad.

I love this place. Whenever I'm organizing a lunch or dinner for students, this is where I take them. The food is quite good and the service is absolutely fabulous. Also they take special requests if anyone has food allergies.

Everything I've had on the menu as long as I've been going here, which is approaching 25 years now, has been wonderful. The staff is very pleasant also, and a few of them are pretty funny too. If you go for someone's birthday, they have a selection of hilarious silly hats for the person to wear for timeless photos.
