China Chef - Cotati

Ordered delivery so can't speak to the service or atmosphere. The food ... unquestionably the worst American Chinese food I've ever eaten. I've been around for my fair share of solar transits so I've eaten a lot of Chinese cuisine. I even lived in China for a couple years. I knew going in that this was going to be American Chinese food which, if I am honest, is not as good as actual Chinese food. But even for American Chinese food, this offering was horrible in the extreme. Bland. Overcooked. We literally couldn't finish eating it. I imagine this place stays open thanks to drunk university students ...

My fiance I thought we'd try a different Chinese restaurant in our area decided on China chef. We payed for $50 worth of food that was burnt overcooked. The orange chicken was tough, the sizzling rice was burnt, chicken was rock hard, giant pieces of broccoli that had no point in being in a soup.

Like 5 years ago the beef chow mein was absolutely delicious. Something is wrong now. What used to be cheap is now expensive. The food was so watery and had a real awkward taste. It made me sick. Probably won't try it again.

Food quality was very underwhelming. Ordered teriyaki chicken, house chow mein and pork buns. The description of the pork buns stated the order comes with 3, but I only received 1. The teriyaki chicken was overcooked and chewy. The chow mein was not great. There were no vegetables in the chow mein and the pork and chicken was overcooked. I ordered through DoorDash. I will not be ordering from this restaurant again.

I’ve both delivered for Doordash from here as well as ordered for myself. Recently, I’d ordered, remained in contact with them telling me my driver was nearby.!waited outside for about 10 minutes, came back in to a phone call saying the driver broke down, couldn’t fill my order. Offered free meal next time, so I’ve called for that meal since then… a few times. I’ve been cooperative as to call back the next day because it best suits them. And the next day. And the next…! So, here we are and I’m not sorry but while I’ve enjoyed this place for close to 20 years, it’s time to say goodbye, service is trash and to want to blame me for what should have been a free meal from your own mouth/ let me know when you’re ready to understand the rest!
