Rare is the Chinese restaurant that successfully caters to both a Chinese and non-Chinese crowd. Chef Chu's is one of that select few. You can't go wrong with their menu!

EArchitect

One of the best if not the best Chinese restaurant in Palo Alto. Try the Hong Kong-style Crispy Pan-Fried Noodles . Delicious!

DailyCandy

"This family-friendly spot near Palo Alto, California, has been a mainstay for more than 35 years. Special family dinner menus for two, three, or five people make ordering a breeze."

Debbie

My grandpa's 90th bday dindin. Food. Was. Amazing! Chef Chu came out for a personal meet n greet. For dessert , hot almond soup with tiny delicately made sesame-filled mochi balls .

Boyenga Team

I took my family here and we loved it! The broccoli and beef was a close runner up to the lovers prawn but seriously, you can order anything and be satisfied. Big thumbs up from Boyenga Team!

Cesar Fonseca

Everything is freshly made by authentic Chinese chefs , and you can taste the difference. Always a smarter choice over PF Chang's and others

Jiading Hu

One of the best chinese food in bay area ! Peking roast duck is good. You need to call them to ask if available before you go.

Christian Dickmann

Generals chicken , Kung-Pao chicken and chicken chow-mein are my go to dishes. Each one is great. Service is always superb too!

Matt Raft

Avoid “famous” chicken salad . Egg/veggie rolls were great. The duck looked great. Tangerine beef was ok. Service was excellent. Try to visit w/ 2 ppl & choose the inclusive option on back of the menu.

Linda Unger

Green beans with garlic sauce , hot & sour soup & friendly welcome make this place a winner! Check out celebs on wall & mention 4 square for nice surprise!

Lee Collings

Been come here for years. Very good place but can be crowded . Make reserves or get there early. Whole menu is great!

Carlos

One of my favorites Chinese places in the bay area . Mongolian beef and fried rice are awesome

Trish Peach

Legendary Asian food - worth visiting for vegetarians & omnivores alike.

Bikash Mishra

The Mongolian beef was delicious but the classic dry braised prawns and the potstickers were a bit of a let down.

Cengiz Kaya

Really enjoyed the place and the food. Good for the families.

Liz Dell

Always solid Chinese, hands down best in Los Altos. Pork buns are delish and the Chef 's specials are standouts.

Harsha Jagadish

There are good veggie options too on the menu. I liked the veg pot stickers and the beans with Mapo tofu . Hve fun

The Hot and Sour soup is the best around! The potstickers , great too! Edwin the bartender is Fantastic!!

The best Chinese food in the bay area ! Good food and low price.

Try the Basil Chicken in clay pot ! Spicier than I expected and great complexity in the sauce!

Nitin Mangtani

Try hot & sour soup , clay oven veggies with tofu , pot stickers and lettuce wraps , all available in veggie options .

Try Hot & Sour Soup - the best soup in the menu!

Søren Jørgensen

Hunan lamb good ! (And of course the home style spinach )

Awesome pork potstickers !!

It's a classic! Would have never known about it if I hadn't gone with a local. Authentic old world Chinese.

Peg Champion

The chicken salad is the best in Silicon Valley. And sizzling rice soup rocks! Busy but efficient on a Sunday night.

Lisa Lighter

First time here and it feels like family! Ask for chefs son....free dessert ! Look for the mayor, cool guy!

J Cruz

Hey just found out if you check in with owners son at the front desk and tell him you just checked in at foursquare he will give you a free dessert . Sweeeet!

The garlic eggplant is excellent.

Chinese New Year 's banquets are always an amazing event with Chef Larry Chu providing play-by-play for the eight-course extravaganza.

Frank Schellenberg

This can get really crowded on Sunday night, but you can phone ahead.

Garlic eggplant is delicious

Snow white chicken was delicious but very delicate. If you want something more intense best to try a richer sauce.

Pretty good, Chef Lawrence came out and greeted us and thanked us for coming.

Stephen Owens

Chinese chicken salad and Pork with Imperial Sauce are my favorites!
