★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Linn Lawrence · Jan 2026

We've always enjoyed the food from Chinese Chef, and have been getting food from here for years. You couldn't beat the value for your buck, plus the food was generous and delicious. But lately the quality has gone down severely. Last night we got the combination Lo Mein and combination Fried Rice with an order of wings. The wings were fine, and, as always the food was piping hot, but the Lo Mein was just a pile of noodles with very little meat and nothing else in it. It used to have green onions and bamboo shoots in it, plus the sauce looked a little pale. My Fried Rice had a good amount of chicken, but not much for shrimp or beef. If there was any type of onion or vegetable in it, I couldn't find it or taste it. In fact, there was zero taste in the entire dish. The scrambled egg pieces in

Nice lady who took order and food was very fast. The fried rice is not fried rice it's just steamed rice with a little meat and egg no veggies or flavor. I also order the general chicken wich consisted of crispy chicken nuggets covered in a cornstarch thickend gravy that tasted of pure salt could not even eat it.

General Tao's Chicken was.chicken nuggets in a bad tasting brown sauce. The rice had no flavor or color to it, taste like white rice. Almost $20 for food that I could not eat and threw in the garbage. Never again.

What do you expect? It's quick drive thru Chinese. Portion size for the money is hard to beat. I'm not sad about this place.
