China Chef

I stumbled upon this whole in the wall and it's become my favorite restaurant. They make their pot stickers in house and they are the most delicious pot stickers I've ever had. And I've eaten a lot. Their snow pea beef and mongolian beef is also so good with their rice. The owners recognize me when I walk in. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

SUPPORT LOCAL!!! We did takeout but the place is super cozy and cute!!! Mandarin crispy chicken combo. Plenty of food and tasted really good. It’s essentially orange chicken but very fresh and perfectly cooked. You can just tell the lovey couple that runs this place are hardworking and honest people. Sadly we don’t live in Bothell, would totally frequent this place if we were closer!

I ate here once more than a decade ago and I felt that it was pretty good at the time but I haven't worked in the area since then and I don't come here to hang out much. For the time being I'm doing some contract work nearby and when my coworker mentioned that she had found a great Chinese place nearby, I was all in to try it. When we walked in, I recognized it immediately and remembered it as having been decent. She said that she really enjoyed the dumplings. I'm a big dumpling enthusiast now but 12 years ago, that wasn't really on my radar. We ordered some and I'm not quite sure what I was expecting but when they came out, they were big and beautiful. They looked like the kind of thing you would usually have to drive down to the International District to get. I really wish I'd taken a picture but they were so that we just plowed right through them before it even occurred to me. They were outstanding and this will be my go-to at this place from now on. I also ordered the house chow mein. It was pretty good but the noodles tasted like they may have come from a pillow pack form Cash n' Carry rather than made in house. I can really tell the difference these days. they were well prepared and the veggies and meat were fresh and tasty. On my previous visit, I ordered the sweet and sour chicken as well as the almond fried chicken. They were also fresh, well prepared and tasty. All in all, this is a very solid place and I have no problem recommending it. I will definitely eat here as often as possible.

Food was warm but did not have a good flavor. ‘Fried’ rice was white rice with egg bits. Difference between the general tso chicken and the mandarin chicken completely undetectable. I’ve had better Chinese food from the frozen food section of the grocery store. The quest for good Chinese food continues. 🤢

I really hate to do this but do not eat here. This was the worse Chinese food I’ve ever tasted. I ordered egg foo young….. I don’t know what they gave me but it was NOT egg foo young. My fiancé ordered Kung pao chicken and he got celery and “chicken” the soup taste sour as if it was spoiled. I don’t know how this restaurant got above 4 star but it has to be false reviews.
