Terrible service. We placed our order and was given a delivery estimate of 55 minutes, which isnt terrible for lunch time. Our food arrived 20 minutes late. We had to contact the restaurant to see where our driver was. When the driver did arrive, he sped through the neighborhood and was swerving like crazy. He drove past our building, parked, then randomly started running around the complex, looking at the buildings for our address (the condos/apartments are clearly marked on the outside). I actually had to go outside and flag him down. He made zero apology and acted like he was in a hurry. When we opened our food, everything was soaked in General Tsos sauce, top to bottom. The container at the bottom containing the General Tso was smashed and the leaking. The bag itself (paper) was soaked all the way to the top. The General Tso sauce had the consistency of jelly with a small amount of tofu. The egg fried rice had no egg in it. The pork and vegetable lo mein were oily. Not greasy, oily. Oil literally dripped off the food as we attempted to eat it. The flavor was okay, but the presentation of all of the food with the exception of the lack luster fried rice was disgusting. We will never order from here again.

This place has a buffet that runs from 11-3:30, and it is by far the best AND cheapest buffet available in Orlando. At only $6.50 per person, it can not be beat anywhere else! On top of that, the food are always fresh and seasoned to perfection. The chef and staff really care about the food they cook and it shows. You can tell that they tasted the food and seasoned it instead of just throwing together ingredients to fill the buffet lines. At other buffet spots the food are either too salty or too bland and tasteless, not here, the buffet here is as good as they come, and it is ALWAYS fresh! They have the absolute best hot and sour soup here, they actually put meat in their soup instead of just mushrooms! On top of that the waitress and owner are incredible people, they will dote and take care of you as if you are a member of the family. The waitress comes by every 5 minutes to refill the drinks and if youre a regular there the owner will often ask you what your favorite dish is so they could make it fresh every time you come in. Incredible. This place is really secluded and easy to miss so it is an absolute hidden gem.

I am not dissatisfied with the quality of ingredients or the taste, they were both great! I am a vegetarian, who is not a big fan of A LOT of vegetables, therefore i do not order the veggie lo-mein, or the veggie chow mein I usually order the chicken lo or chow( because it does not have a ton of veggies in it), but request no meat, which i have never had an issue doing so with other places. I ordered my food on-line, like i usually do, but when i got my food, and looked at it, I realized that they took it upon themselves to go ahead and change my order to the vegetable ones. So now im having to pick tons of stuff i wont eat! Like i said great taste, but i will not be eating there again.

Dont have any big complaints about this place. The service was good, the lady was friendly. The food that was in the buffet tasted good, but I could tell it had been out since early lunch, and seeing as how they werent many people in the restaurant ( none actually) I assumed it had not been rotated recently. I did find some things I liked, and filled up. They could have some more variety and try and keep everything filled. I would come back, but i am thinking earlier in the day. *upgrade to 4 stars because the lady especially made something that had run out for us, brought it to the table, let me take it home, and still didnt charge me. Kindness!

I wish I could put 0 stars. Ordered online and never recieved it.. After an hour of waiting. Called back and they said it would be another 45 mins!!!! Ordered again and cancelled the one through beyond menu... So beyond menu calls and cancels the order I placed with them! After an hour again I call back and they said they told their driver to turn around I cancelled my order and then rudely hung up saying "we send driver back" and the whole time they blamed me for the mixup!!! Never ordering here again!!!!!

Went and enjoyed the lunch buffet today... the food was excellent - fresh, well prepared and seasoned to perfection! The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. The place is clean, well taken care of and seems much more spacious than one would expect. Everything reflects the pride the owners and staff have in this establishment! Ive been to many buffets where you leave a little hungry because of the food.. this time I wish I couldve eaten more! Definitely a "MUST TRY" if you havent already!

The food is great and all, But today I find it hard to go here again, After losing my appetite due to Having trouble with the old lady customer service because of me complaining about the water that had a small cockroach in it. I knew it was an accident and prolly didnt see it, But when i told her to change my water and was just not gonna say anything about it, She gave me a dirty look,because of me saying theres a roach in my water. Even tho it did. Never coming back to this place again.

We arrived at 2:00 PM after a long drive, the options at the buffet were limited, which wouldnt be so bad for the price, but 90% of the chafing dishes were EMPTY. The waitress said they close at 3. This was not on the sign. I asked Id they had anymore vegetable bean curd, as a vegetarian, one of only 4 options. They did provide a spoonful of more vegetables, but no bean curd. The waitress was sweet, apologized profusely, but nothing can redeem this awful dining experience.

I have a VERY sensitive stomach, and it is very difficult to find a Chinese restaurant where I can actually eat their food! I LOVE China Chef, not only for the delicious food that I can eat but because their service is always friendly! As if it didnt get better, they even have delivery! For anyone conscious about the type of Chinese food they eat, I definitely recommend China Chef! (Personally I get the Sweet and Sour chicken with pork fried rice!)

Thank You China Chef. Food was great and delivery was so fast. We made a huge mistake last time and ordered from the wrong restaurant off Semoran and University winter park. It was horrible!!!The snow peas were brown and my food tasted funny. even the water chestnuts had a bad taste. How does someone screw up water chestnuts and snow peas!!???China Chef is now written on my board so that I never make that mistake again, Thanks for a great meal :)

Great lunch buffet options for $7 a person. You honestly cannot beat that! Tons of vegetables, chicken, beef, and lomein available every time I have been there. The waitress is exceptionally sweet and keeps our water cups full. This place is a great meal for broke college students (like us) but there are always 6 or 7 big dudes in there chowing down. Tl;dr - Fresh food, wide selection, friendly people, inexpensive!
