"My husband and I used to visit China Chef frequently, especially during our early dating days 26 years ago, but we hadn't been in a while. Remembering how much we loved the food and atmosphere, we decided to take a drive there for dinner. We arrived at 4 PM and noticed there were no cars in the parking lot, which made us worried the restaurant might be out of business.
Upon entering, we found the lights were off, but they turned them on as we were being seated, which felt a bit unsettling. Unfortunately, the interior was not as we remembered; it was quite dirty. The walls were grimy, there were crumbs in the creases of the seats, and the carpet looked worn and unclean.
We ordered egg rolls, but they were unpleasant; the filling was sticky and clumped together. We took one bite and sent them back. For our main courses, we ordered beef chop suey, but it tasted far from fresh and was lukewarm. Naturally, we ended up leaving it untouched.
After paying the bill, we left still hungry, having wasted $40. We ended up stopping for dinner elsewhere. We're very disappointed and won't be returning. This is definitely not the China Chef we once enjoyed."
