China Chef Bistro Reviews
The food is authentic and priced right. This is 1 outta 2 of my go to chinese take out places. Can be hard to miss, tucked in a long narrow strip mall next to the busy QT but the owners are so sweet and the food is good.
This mom and pop spots has some delicious eats. Don't little the outside aesthetic fool you. This hidden gem packs full flavor dishes. We tried a variety today. I would travel back just for the egg foo young and egg drop soup. Fresh food and Fast, friendly service. *(Food is cooked to order and brought out course style)*
We went hiking at Dreamy Draw & worked up quite an appetite afterwards. Since we were in the neighborhood we decided to try something near us. China chef bistro popped up & we gave it a shot. I'm glad we did! We were pleasantly surprised, it is terrific American Chinese food. The general tso's, fried rice, orange chicken & kung pao all hit the spot over the last two visits we have made. We will continue to explore the menu but these were all delicious & their sauces are fresh & house-made. Lots garlic, stuff that's supposed to be spicy is actually spicy, the veggies are fresh tasting & not overcooked. Portion sizes are significant in-house but take out is slightly less but still plenty enough. I think it's primarily a take out spot but we ate in the first time & our waitress was friendly, helpful & attentive. We were happy to have her share her recommendations. We will continue to visit for some pretty epic post hike grub. It's too good to pass up while we are in the area.
We tried this hard-to-find place when our go-to Chinese place was closed. It was good! The people were nice and they will make almost any dish with tofu--just ask. The portions were big--enough for leftovers the next day, which is one of the best ways to eat Chinese food, right? Give them a try!
