China Chef — Restaurant in Lawrence Township

Something has changed at China Chef and not for the better. The original owner Laura I have not seen for at least nine months and when inquiring where she was, I was told she still owns the restaurant. I find that hard to believe as she is gone and so are the old waitresses we used to know. Laura has been replaced at the greeting desk by a middle-aged gentleman. If you wanna call him that who is rude and impatient when calling in for takeout orders or for delivery. But the most Amazing thing is that coming in at 2:55 , that the lunch special was over and we were too late when we clearly were not. And even if we were, we’ve been good customers for about 25 years . We turned around and left. The food right along has been coming so quickly after ordering on the phone for delivery that it is impossible for it to be cooked to order. This is food that they somehow have cooked beforehand reheated and sent out . :the one good part about the place is Justin the driver Who has always been a gentleman and a scholar. The quality of their food is not what it used to be the flavor is different and it is hit and miss. One thing that is alarming is that when you eat in the place there is a gentleman probably one of the chefs who walks out into the men’s room past us seated at least three or four times during an hour dining. I wonder if he washes his hands after taking one of his numerous bathroom breaks and went in to check the sink one day to Find it bone dry. most of the staff, especially the gentleman who makes frequent trips to the men’s room look very unhappy. So to wrap this up, the bottom line is something strange has happened to China chef and without Laura at the helm the quality of the food has gone down and the ambience or the communication over the telephone has become quite unpleasant with this new guy. The one nice person working there And an asset to To the restaurant is Justin the driver who has always...

I ordered the chicken pad thai lunch special with pork fried rice, wonton soup, and the eggroll. The order was ready promptly at the designated pick up time and i was able to pick up my food without coming into contact with anyone. the wontons in the wonton soup had thicker wrappers than I’m used to, but the broth was still tasty. the pork fried rice is delicious and made with what looks like charsiu pork, which was a nice surprise. the eggroll was crispy and tasty. the pad thai doesn’t taste like other pad thais i’ve had, but it’s still a good noodle dish. overall, i’m very pleased with my experience and the lunch special. for the price, this is a fantastic deal! I will have plenty of leftovers to...

Service is horrible Food is ok. Ordered food online at 6:00pm and was delivered at 7:30pm. I called to find out what the hold up was and they stated they were busy. So I give them the benefit of the doubt. Finally when food was delivered i open the door to delivery guy that says “where is my tip” no hello just “where is my tip”. I tell him i included it in the order online ($8.00 tip 20%). I take my delivery from his hands and close the door. Then I find out they didn’t include any rice with the food I ordered I called them back and girl tells me to come and pick up rice. I told her “no way” you deliver it. By the time rice comes my food is cold. “Horrible 1st experience...
