This place has the best price by far and good is very delicious! I came here 4 times all ready. I loved it each times. They even give you a mug cup with ice water. Their proportion is really generous. I highly recommend this place. This isn’t your fancy restaurant, but I’m there for the food, price, and the overall quality.

The crispy fried calamari was a hit. The calamari rings were perfectly crispy, without being greasy. The seasoning was spot on, with a hint of spice that added a nice kick. The accompanying dipping sauce was flavorful and complemented the calamari well. It was a delicious appetizer that was a crowd-pleaser.

My family and I have been going here for years. I’ve always loved this place soo much. The food today was very different. One of the main reasons that I used to love Chef P’s is for their thick chow mein noodles. They were delicious. I’m not a fan of the tiny Panda Express chow mein noodles, they’re not very satisfying. Well now Chef P’s has thinner noodles, not too thin but not as deliciously thick as the old ones. The orange chicken was very sweet and delicious. The whole meal was great. I’m a lil disappointed in the salt and pepper fish it used to be a light thin piece of batter fries fish with jalapenos and yummy seasoning. Now it’s a very thick dry well seasoned piece of fish. The service was AMAZING! The young man running the register was a super thoughtful, sweet man. Overall the food is delicious I just couldn’t give it 5 stars because I miss the old food. Everything else is great and I highly recommend this place.

Authentic Chinese staples! Forget Panda come to Chef P’s and get properly served. Their portions are HUGE. The staff is Uber friendly. And the prices are perfect. Must try: The calamari chips!

Absolutely splendid. Not only was the food an experience I never had, the employee Claire Doran was something else. She is dedicated to making sure everyone has everything they need. She refilled my water in a span of 2 seconds after finishing my cup; she is truly in x games mode. I have spoken with the parents of Claire and now I am paying her student loans and I will be buying a yacht of her desire. Thank you Chef P for hiring one of the best employees I have ever seen.

Great place for chinese food to go our quick dine dine. They have 9 different combo dishes to chose from mix or match. Most of the combo dishes averages $9.50 each comes with rice or chowmein and entree. Food is made fresh to order they accept cash or credit card.

Normally I’d go here and it’s a very good food but today I went and I had a bad experience I ordered a number 1 Mongolian beef plate, and I ordered a number 8 with shrimp when I got into the plate there was no shrimp ♂️ ♂️ ♂️ ♂️ I had to eat the magolan beef fillet the one I was saving for dinner so now I got a plate full of veggies and noodles ♂️ ♂️

Food is decent but interacting with the chubby gal taking the orders is off putting.
