China Chef - Westmont

Get the Egg Foo Yong. Always good!Service is prompt. Prices reasonable.

I've dined here for many, many years with friends and family, ever since I was a kid, and the food has always been incredible. I can't get enough of the China Chef fried rice. It's hands down the best fried rice I've ever tasted. My usual orders are the mongolian beef, chicken lu mein, and oranged flavored chicken, and they're all amazing dishes. I also enjoy the dim lit cozy atmosphere.

I’ve been ordering from this place over the last few years and have never had any problems. Tonight when we ordered the food was completely inedible. Crab Rangoons were stale as if they’ve been reheated hours later. Beef was so soft that it was just mush. And the chicken was so dry as if it had been sitting in a hot pot for hours. When we called to get a refund or to return the food the man on the phone got really upset and rude. It’s really disappointing when you want to support a local business but the service is awful and you spent $50 on food you can’t even eat.

One gripe: Don 't get me wrong. I love the TASTE of the food but for certain items... such as the fried rice+protein (pork, chicken, shrimp, and China Chef varieties) the top layer of the carton after opening contains almost ALL of the protein (I assume positioned there to illicit a good first impression) while the remaining 75% contains almost all rice with basically no meat at all. This isn 't a one-time impression but rather a pattern I 've seen over the last 30 years. It 's not a bait and switch technically... But feels a bit like one.

Stay away. Ripoffs. Ignorant rude overcharge food terrible and charge for additional plate without notice.a dining nightmare.
