Best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to. We drove from Central valley to try this restaurant. Every was perfect. Service was amazing and off course so was the food. But what really nice was the owner Lloyd came out to greet us and even sat with us and had a little chat with my family. We are definitely going back to enjoy this amazing place. Thanks Lloyd 👍 😊

I would give it a 6 star if I could. I’m Chinese and a finicky eater, my family and I love this place for our quick Chinese food fix inbetween school and sports, everyone can find something they love on the menu and it’s a great value. We also love the service. It’s a family owned restaurant so they DO care about customer service. Quick and easy with a smile. If you haven’t tried their fried calamari it’s our #1 favorite. A must have every time we came here. Our other favorites include the honey walnut shrimp, chicken or pork fried rice, fried noodles, and any stir fries that contained beef because they are so tender and delicious.

Love this place. Been coming here since they were on Alum Rock & King. Food is always consistently good. If you are a seafood lover try the shrimp in spicy sauce(not too spicy but hella flavor) and steam rice, but the orange chicken always hits. Over here watching NFL, staff is friendly and welcoming. It's one of those spots even if the service was bad, you'll come for the food.

Great mom n pop spot, Ms. Tammy took my order, she was very pleasant and dutiful, she so fine. Tasty dishes, parking is a lil sketch either side but place seats large families.

My family and I have been going here for years. I've always loved this place soo much. The food today was very different. One of the main reasons that I used to love Chef P's is for their thick chow mein noodles. They were delicious. I'm not a fan of the tiny Panda Express chow mein noodles, they're not very satisfying. Well now Chef P's has thinner noodles, not too thin but not as deliciously thick as the old ones. The orange chicken was very sweet and delicious. The whole meal was great. I'm a lil disappointed in the salt and pepper fish it used to be a light thin piece of batter fries fish with jalapenos and yummy seasoning. Now it's a very thick dry well seasoned piece of fish. The service was AMAZING! The young man running the register was a super thoughtful, sweet man. Overall the food is delicious I just couldn't give it 5 stars because I miss the old food. Everything else is great and I highly recommend this place.

We got Calamari, Salt & peppers Chicken wings, Beef Chow fun, Shrimps Fried rice, and Chicken Chow Mein. I would definitely come back for the crispy fried calamari. I like the Fried Rice and Chow Fun, but the Chow Mein was really bland. The Salt & Peppers Fried Chickens have too much batter and needed more seasoning.

Combo #4 which is orange chicken with pork fried rice, $12.99. Taste ok, better than panda express for sure. Big portion, the one i ordered was enough for 2 persons.

It was o.k., I had the chicken noodles soup, flavor was o.k., but kind of bland, chicken pieces in my opinion was very dry, but edible.....

What they served me when I ordered Worwonton soup: It came with broth that had no flavor, 2 wontons and soaked wilted lettuce. I took it back and they remade it by adding 2 shrimp. Ultimately, because this was the worst "soup"I've ever had, I asked for a refund. That's only after wasting my entire lunch hour there. I would not recommend this restaurant. Save your time and money . . .
