I am so disappointed. Let me preface this with saying the lady owner, who took our order for take out was really, really friendly. Somehow the driver got the wrong address and went to the neighbors' house, but as luck would have it, I was outside and caught him. He was also super sweet.Now, the food. We like our food HOT. HOT! Our gal had asked on a scale of 1-5 hot how did we like it. We said 10. We eat ghost peppers. We like it HOT. She laughed and said ok, no problem. The food came quickly (and we are a bit away). We ordered the sweet and sour pork, rangoon puffs, Hunan beef and shrimp and hot and sour soup. Sadly, the food was not good at all. Not terrible, but not good. When we order hot, we expect chili peppers to be used. They used chili oil in the Hunan dish and the hot and sour soup. It was SOOOO greasy I had to wash the lids off of everything because it was everywhere. And it was not hot AT ALL. The Hunan flavor of the dish would have been good, but it was SOAKED in oil. The hot and sour soup had so much grease, it was floating on top. And there was no meat in the soup. I am used to at least some beef and shrimp. Just tofu and mushrooms. It was thick, which I like, but I had to scrape the oil off the top. The rangoon puffs were tasty, but they came with no sauce. And the sweet and sour pork came with the fried pork in a container by itself, with the sauce on the side. Fine. I get that. They didn't want it mushy when it got here. I like that. But it was ONLY pork in the container. No peppers, no onions, no pineapple, just the pork. The rice was ok. But nothing to mix in with the pork.I give this rating a 2 because the lady was EXTREMELY nice, and even called us back to apologize for the driver having the wrong address and stating she wanted to update their system so they had it right the next time. When she called, after we had eaten, we told her our food was NOT spicy at all, as promised, but said next time she would do better.I will give them another chance because of their customer service and how lovely the lady was. But let's hope it doesn't come with a pound of oil in and on everything. I am so disappointed. I was excited to try this place. And it turned out to be like almost all of the Chinese restaurants in town.Dear Golden Chef,Please, please, please! Use peppers, NOT chili oil. And add something to your sweet and sour pork. Because the batter on the pork, and the pork itself was pretty tasty. And your customer service was so wonderful.:( :(

We decided to give Gold Chef a try based on yelp reviews.The egg rolls were...eh...they didn't have any pork or chicken in them and they're quite oily on the inside.The crab ragoons were perfect!! We shared the orange chicken and sweet and sour pork with fried rice. The two entrees were delicious! Although the fried rice was plain; no veggies or egg, I didn't realize they had more than one kind and they charge you $2 extra for it. All in all it was a positive experience and we would definitely come back but next time we'll just have the ragoons and share an entree since it was too much food.

Biggest regret is moving to awahtukee I cant get my gold chef fix as often as I used to. This is totally a family run little restaurant and the owner is so freaking sweet. She always greets with a huge smile and makes the place fun to visit she has a great sense of humor... on to the food its well priced NY Style chinese food that I dare say is better than some local places that are actually in Ny. I have yet to order something off the menu that I didnt like its all so yummy. When I buy a house I hope its next to Gold Chef!

Love this place for delivery! The lady owner is always super friendly on the phone. My husband loves their sweet & sour chicken-- he's really picky on the the type of batter used and this place hits the spot. They also serve the sauce in a separate container when it's being delivered which is a plus.Some of their dishes are a bit americanized. I ordered Shanghai style noodles once and was expecting the ultra thick, chewy noodle but got thinner chow mein style instead. But it was still hot & yummy so I can forgive it!All in all, nice fresh chinese delivery with good prices and reliable delivery. A+

Stopped in here after reading previous reviews on Yelp. You guys didn't lie! This is a great little place. We were nicely surprised to find they had dine-in seating. Everything was clean & neat, despite the fact that it was the lunch hour. Our waitress was quick, efficient, & friendly. We had crab puffs which were small but so tasty that size didn't matter. I had kung pao chicken which was delicious, diced into just the right size bites & had a lot of peanuts. The sauce was spicy but not overwheming or too much. My son had szechuan beef which he devoured, declaring it the best he's eaten for a long time. Our tea glasses were never empty, even on a 105 day. And all the food came out of the kitchen with steam rolling off it. Prices were very reasonable. We will def be back! You can't beat this for a quick neighborhood-ish bite or take out!

1st let me say, that almost every time I've ordered Chinese delivery / take out, I'm frustrated by the service / courtesy I get on the other end of the phone. Not this time. The lady who answered was very sweet and helpful.The food was fresh, I highly recommend the beef on a stick & the Mongolian beef w/ fried rice. The crab puffs were also tasty and the delivery was prompt as well.It's not Benihana, but it was the best delivered Chinese food we've had since moving here, so give them a shot!

One of Mr. M's coworkers was raving about the egg rolls from this place, so one afternoon after visiting the Halloween stores in the area we decided to stop in and try 'em out. We also got an order of their salt and pepper calamari. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a friendly gentleman who asked us if this was our first visit. He took our to-go order and then offered and brought us some water while we waited. The egg rolls were very good and fresh and not greasy at all. The calamari was exceptional with light tempura-style breading that was fresh, crispy, and also not greasy. The peppers and onions provided a great grilled flavor and made us wish we had a couple of cold beers in hand to have with our very tasty appetizers.I brought up not greasy twice because it's typical that takeout Chinese places have good greasy food that goes great with adult beverages. Gold Chef on the other hand is not greasy, but still goes well with adult beverages. I look forward to going back and trying their full meals. First visit was impressive.

I will start with the good. The staff on the phone is very nice and the delivery guys are fast and courteous. The dumplings were great and that is my test of good Chinese food. Other than that I don't have much good to say. The food was bland, bland, bland and given the other reviews I was surprised. Overall not terrible, but I probably won't be back

It's always nice to find a good delivery food place. This was the first time I have eaten gold chef, it was recommended by a friends who's food preference I trust. We ordered an order of orange chicken, chicken lo mein, crab ragoons and chose the fried rice as opposed to the white rice. The total was $23.00 for all of this food, this fed javier and I and we both were able to take leftovers for lunch. Delivery time was told would be 45 mins, it was actually only 15-20 minutes. Javier said he usually doesn't like orange chicken because too dry, this orange chicken was perfect, just enough sauce and a great flavor, they pack it with some fresh broccoli. Also I loved the chicken lo mein, it had lots of garlic flavor , one of the best lo meins I have had. The crab ragoons were ok, nothing special, would have liked to see some imitation crab in the mix. The only thing I can say I didn't care for was the fried rice, this was too dry and greasy. We will be ordering from this place again for those nights I don't feel like cooking or when we get together last minute.

For our delivery they said 35 minutes, which turned into 103 minutes before we got our food. The owner was apologetic, and recooked and delivered our order. He said they have a new delivery person who got lost.Thankfully the food tasted good. So they regained a star with that. I am not sure if we will try this location again after the long wait... even though the food was pretty tasty.
