Specializing in classic Chinese cuisine with generous portions, this spot serves up an eclectic menu designed to satisfy every craving, from succulent seafood to hearty meat dishes and flavorful vegetarian options.

What truly sets Chef Chan apart is the masterful balance of bold spices and comforting flavors woven throughout their dishes. Imagine biting into a perfectly crisp Roast Pork Egg Roll, its savory filling complemented by the delicate crunch of the wrapper.

Customers frequently praise the freshness and warmth of every order, freshly cooked and thoughtfully spiced. As one visitor described, the noodles carry a unique sweetness not commonly found elsewhere, paired wonderfully with an orange chicken that strikes the perfect balance of spice.

Though primarily a takeout establishment, the welcoming staff at Chef Chan add a personal touch to each visit, creating an inviting atmosphere despite the grab-and-go setup. Keep in mind that this is a cash-only venue, a small note that regulars mention without hesitation due to the unbeatable quality and price point.

    Really good Chinese food!! Everything was prepared fresh and hot. The noodles had a sweetness to them which I’ve never had in any Chinese restaurant before. The orange chicken had just enough spiciness to it without it being overpowering. Plus they gave me and my bf a LOT. I barely made a dent in mine and had to save for leftovers. Whatever spices they use/how they cook it they’re doing it right! The price came out to be $24 which is worth it with how much they gave. Took about 15-20 mins and he was cooking it fresh finishing up when I walked in. He was kind, told me I could get a soda if I wanted, no charge. Only con I would say is they don’t take credit/debit card. So be prepared to bring cash!
