  Best Chinese restaurant in Avalon.  Food is consistently good.  Great vegan option is spicy garlic vegetables. Personal faves are the  spring rolls and Szechuan chicken.  Easy for a spur of the moment take out order as food is usually ready within 10 minutes.

  My wife and our daughter stopped in for a bite before our daughter's music class; and, they picked up two Large Wonton Soups, a Fried Rice and a Chicken and Broccoli.  All-in, with a modest tip, it was nearly $15 per person.  Now, we had lots of leftovers; but, not because the portions were very large; they just didn't eat much.
  
  The soup had the yellowest color to the broth, which was supposed to be chicken, I suppose. The wonton skins were super thick, with hardly any meat inside; and, there were only onion slices as a garnish, no strips of pork.
  
  The fried rice was okay; but, after two more attempts, our daughter just threw out the rest.  The chicken and broccoli was fine, just not a lot of flavor.  Really, it's not worth the cost for what you get.  We'll stick with our favorite from now on.

  The worst Chinese food I've ever had.
  I can usually deal with crappy food, but this was just awful. They charge you 25cents for the chili in oil hot sauce... it's watered down. There's nothing really nothing more I can say.
  
  Very disappointed. Save your money.

  I am a New Yorker born and raised and finding a great chinese food spot has been difficult. China Chef is ok, it works to calm cravings and quick take out when I don't want to cook.
  
  The customer service is always good here.
  
  Tonight we ordered small beef lomein, no veggies and beef well done, small chicken and broccoli, small shrimp with broccoli in garlic sauce and steamed pork dumplings.
  
  The positive. Food was ok. My shrimp in garlic sauce had a good flavor, nice little spice. The chicken and broccoli was ok, nice flavor.
  
  The negative. The beef was not well done. The white rice that came with the shrimp and chicken dish was not enough and the dumplings filling was light.
  
  China Chef is a neighborhood take out spot that serves the purpose of "not cooking tonight"

  Just a little back story I am not a foodie or a recognized critic by any means however, I was born and raised in New York and there are two foods we know up there Pizza and Chinese. China Chef is reliable and delicious. I know quite a few people are dissatisfied with their lack of a delivery option but I dont mind it's close enough to grab it and be home promptly. The food is reasonably priced here and it has so much flavor,  we have lived in this area for a year now and have ordered from them 10 times or so. They have never disappointed us. I highly recommend China Chef
