CHINA CHEF 1

Wow! Quite impress with this place. The food was so good. Awesome Cantonese dishes. Food came quick and dang delicious! Will definitely come back again. The ingredients were fresh with the perfect amount umami. Thank you China Chef 1!

Wasn’t a fan of the previous establishments at this location. Dropped by to pickup some takeout to give this new restaurant a try and was pleasantly surprised. There is no food under heat lamps, all the food is cooked fresh to order. Spent about $50 for 3 entrees which could’ve easily fed 6 people. Would return in the future. Note that the ‘small’ size is large, and the ‘medium’ size is actually a party tray.

As a local la mesa resident of course we want our restaurants to shine since la mesa isn't really known for food but more as a dispensary haven and sketchy spots with questionable characters. Part of the charm of living here. But this place is quality, could fit right in at the more ritzy neighborhoods of SD like La Jolla and Carlsbad. I came into the restaurant and it was nicely remodeled, clean and smelled soo good. They give you Pupus here...(Like free appetizers) I got some deep fried noodles and some egg drop soup free of charge. Delish! And the Shrimp broccoli was fire. Crunchy, and fresh. If you're in the area definitely stop by if you're craving some Chinese food. They have lunch specials at the time of this review for 12 bucks...everything seen in picture.

Decided to try a new local place. Food was hot and fresh. Got beef chow mein, orange chicken with fried rice, pan fried dumpling, and egg rolls. Everything was delicious and I will definitely be back.

Ordered salt and pepper wings and house chow mein. Both really good! Drove by here the other day and wanted to try it since I noticed it was remodeled & under new ownership (I think). Really glad I did! The inside was very clean and the female employee at the register was really sweet. My husband judges places based on their salt & pepper wings and when he said he'd go back and order them again I knew they must've been pretty good. We will definitely be going back to try some other dishes soon!
