China Chef

The last few times I have been to the China Chef the food and service has less then expected. I used to love coming here, went about 3 times a week. Not so much anymore. The food is still good, not saying to avoid the place, just it’s not like it used to be. I’m down to about 1 visit a month now.

Everything we ordered was delicious! We did not dine in, we carried out. The crab Rangoon is a must have! Did not disappoint!

This review is for their take-​out only.
In a nutshell I’ll say that China Chef’s food is delish. Their prices, however, are quite high compared to other Chinese food I’ve ever eaten. The portion sizes also leave some to be desired. We ordered shrimp & veggies and it was really good, but whereas most Chinese places you can share an entrée (with rice), this one was a little too small.
The lady behind the counter was friendly and the interior seemed clean and pleasant.
Really, if they would either enlarge the portions or lower their prices then they would be a 4 star joint if not even potentially a 5 star one.

My husband and I love their food. I am very picky with Chinese places and this one is on top of my list. Actually, this is the only family owned that I eat at. The servers are nice too. We tried the Mongolian been — a little spicy but I like that.

Let me first say that my husband is an East Coast food snob. He compares everything to what he could get in «the city» (aka NYC). We lived in Albuquerque before moving to The East Mountains and never quite found a Chinese place that we were happy to frequent. Imagine our surprise when we find this place out in Edgewood NM! It is fresh and more tasty and authentic than anything we found in «the city» (Abq). Some of our favorites: roasted pork egg fu young (super yummy), veg lo mein, chicken with broccoli in white sauce, fried rice. We only get take out and have never dined in, so can’t comment on that. 5 stars for being the best in the area including all of Albuquerque. Probably 4 stars compared to the best places out east (because they have even more selection and are crazy amazing.) Super happy to have this place in our new hood, especially since we don’t have to drive into «the city» to get this great take-​out. :)

Driving cross the country on a move, we found ourselves hungry. We got gas and took a chance on Chinese food in a small town that had only a handful of restaurants. I was a bit skeptical but we went for it. Oh man it was just what we needed! The food is good, simple Chinese food. The menu was very large for this place! It was mostly variations of the same dish but we still had options. We had a fabulous egg drop wonton soup that was perfect suited to our appetites. We also ordered general tso’s chicken and sweet and sour chicken (yup classic general american chinese food!) which were nice and hot. The generals tso’s needed more veggies but whatever. There was also plenty for a midnight snack and breakfast! If you find yourself hungry in a teensy town, go for it!

The Chinese food at this restaurant is really good, and I highly recommend eating here. I usually get the food to go, because the service is typical of a Chinese restaurant, slow and not super awesome.
