Chef Chan Restaurant — Restaurant in East Rutherford

Classic Chinese Take-out place. Cash only. In a section of town where you will get to practice your parallel parking.

I had the chicken lomein and an egg roll. There was plenty of chicken in the lomein and overall a very generous portion. It had the container bulging. The egg roll was big which is getting hard to find nowadays.

People were friendly. They asked what sauce I would like. Never been asked that before. I always mix duck sauce, mustard and chili oil to make a dip for egg rolls etc. Because of my dipping sauce I always asked for extra duck sauce and mustard. So I only asked for those. Bottom line when I got home and opened my bag there was no soy sauce. The lomein would have been perfect with just 1 packet of soy sauce. But I never asked.

Highly recommend this place just don't forget to ask...

The minuses: they don't deliver, and they're cash-only. This combination, which I find rare for Chinese food places in my area, lead me to believe that this establishment surely must survive because it must have among the best Chinese food in the area. The pluses: very friendly and genuinely likeable service, and accurate to your order. Long hours. The in between: the food was good, but honestly not exceptional enough to draw me back when I have to make sure that I have cash with me, and if I happen to not already be out and about, drag myself out to pick it up instead of have it delivered to me. Bottom line: Would you regret getting food from here? Absolutely not. Is it worth the hassle of not having delivery available, nor accepting credit cards? Probably not. Still I wish...

Really good Chinese food!! Everything was prepared fresh and hot. The noodles had a sweetness to them which I’ve never had in any Chinese restaurant before. The orange chicken had just enough spiciness to it without it being overpowering. Plus they gave me and my bf a LOT. I barely made a dent in mine and had to save for leftovers. Whatever spices they use/how they cook it they’re doing it right! The price came out to be $24 which is worth it with how much they gave. Took about 15-20 mins and he was cooking it fresh finishing up when I walked in. He was kind, told me I could get a soda if I wanted, no charge. Only con I would say is they don’t take credit/debit card. So be prepared...
