China Chef — Restaurant in Apex

original review 2021: Phenomenal Chinese food. We love the General Tso’s chicken, Singapore noodles, fried dumplings, and especially the sauce that comes with the dumplings. I don’t know what it is, maybe soy sauce and Chinese vinegar? But it’s delicious, I’d get it on the side every time if I could. We were out of town the other day and got General Tso’s somewhere else, and it’s completely flavorless in comparison with China Chef. So happy this is our local place. Their website is super easy to navigate too, and placing an order online is a piece of cake.

update 2024: unfortunately the quality has gone down a lot. was disappointed by my old favorite general tso’s several times so now i haven’t ordered it in at least a year. some of our other favorites have declined too. the dumpling and dumpling sauce are still amazing, but we definitely don’t go here as often as we used to....

Buyer beware. I ordered Chow Mein - typically a Chinese stir-fry noodle dish, and had it delivered (using DoorDash) for lunch.

When I called to say, hey, I think I got the wrong order, the person on the phone scoffed and me and told me that lo mein is a noodle dish (true), chow mein is a cabbage dish (uh....what). So, here I am, $10 later with no lunch. Thanks for nothing, I guess. update I am getting the money back from my bank for this... I'm sorry, but to not offer me a refund, or offer me a replacement is just insanity. I showed the food to my coworkers and everyone had the same reaction - you couldn't even get past the smell to...

Never again. The last time I went here it was close to closing time. The whole kitchen staff was eating dinner so I apologized and said I could go somewhere else. One of the guys jumped up and said it was not too late. I ordered cashew chicken, and when I got home I found that I had about a half pound of chopped celery in sauce with a little bit of chicken and a few cashew nuts sprinkled on top for decoration. Basically, I was cheated. If they didn't want to cook anything (or prepare it properly) they should have just told me they were closing. I could have gone somewhere else, and in the future I will. So, relax fellas. I am one less person you will ever have to cook for. I will take my family and my...
