“ I always enjoy ordering from China Chef. Always friendly. Quick service. And delicious food! I have never personally eaten there, but their take out is packaged well and makes it home in one piece. It's the Chinese restaurant I recommend to all of my guests and I will keep eating there!! ”
“ Food never disappoints. Everything I've tried is great. Quick pick up for to-go orders. Service is always friendly. Best Chinese food in the city, in my opinion. ”
“ Best Chinese/Asian I've ever ordered in Des Moines. They modified my order as requested and their umami is on point! I'm picky about my Asian food, and this place checks all the boxes! ”
“ I highly recommend this place. Theirs food is quite authentic. Appropriate pricing. I love the orange chicken ”
“ Fast, tasty, and priced to sell! The folks who run this place know how to keep customers coming back, and remember them too! Multiple times I have found "bonus apps" inside when I arrived home. Check out China Chef and see for yourself! ”
“ So, I'm sorry I haven't updated my review sooner but life has gotten the best of me. We have ordered from here three times since they re-opened since the fire and I must say that I must have ordered the wrong things before or I must have just caught them on the wrong day. Everything that we have ordered since has been delicious and worth it. We have told them numerous times that we wish that they delivered out west to our side of town (West Clive/Waukee) because we need more Asian options out here! Due to COVID-19, we have only ordered to-go or delivery to my parents house on the SS but it has been excellent service and the food has always been good. For food-wise, our favorites are Kung Pao Chicken & Shrimp, Kung Pao Beef and their Egg Drop Soup. My Grandma loved their Egg Drop Soup. Before she passed away at the beginning of this year, my mother or someone from our family would sometimes stop by and pick up their Egg Drop Soup for her on our days to go see her. It makes me think of her and miss her. But in a good way. ”
“ It's rare for me to give a place 5 stars, even rarer that it was a Chinese place on the southside but holy crap! Drop whatever you're eating and go here. This is a non-descript building with a decent parking lot that has recently been remodeled due to a kitchen fire. I had the $8 spicy orange beef lunch that came with soup, egg roll and rice. I chose egg drop soup and it tasted homemade. It was thick but not gelatinous, with corn, carrots and onions and lots of black pepper. Definitely one of the better I've had. I switched out the egg roll for a crab rangoon and it was delicious. I opted for steamed rice which was 2 big scoops along with my large portion of deliciously cooked orange beef. The beef was perfectly crunchy and had a great orangey flavor. The service was very prompt and friendly. When we paid our bill we chatted with the guy and he told us they deliver downtown, so we're excited to have it afain. Terrific surprise for lunch and now I'm going to go into food coma! Go eat here and support local business! ”
