Chef Chu's

Visited Chef Chu’s on a bustling weekend evening—this spot is known for its traditional Chinese dishes and was packed with diners, creating a lively atmosphere. The menu offers a solid range of classic flavors. Most dishes were tasty, though a bit on the oily side. The roast duck was just average, but everything else hit the spot. Service was attentive and friendly; staff quickly offered to pack up leftovers, which was a nice touch. Parking can be tricky, as the lot is shared with other businesses and spaces are limited—plan ahead if you’re driving! 🚗 Tip: Expect crowds on weekends and arrive early to avoid a wait. If you prefer lighter food, you might want to request less oil when ordering. Verdict: Great for a traditional Chinese meal with family or friends. Not the best roast duck, but overall a satisfying experience with excellent service! 👍

The food is good but, besides the duck, nothing extraordinary and sometimes plain. The duck had no odor and was not overly fatty. The four seasons cold plate was also good. Each piece was unique in style and flavor. I say keep it small and only go for their duck or their special menu section. Everything else didn't seem quite worth the price. The mushrooms in the braised triple mushrooms were of varying quality of freshness. The mu shu was nice with nice wok hei but it didn't really stand out and the dipping sauce is really salty. If you do enjoy the food though, it's an amazing place to share dishes with a large party. The service itself is oddly friendly and unfriendly. But they are considerate in a lot of ways. For all dishes they brought extra servings utensils so it's easier to share. They bring additional plates for you to share. If you eat here, you'll never worry about running out of tea, they are ON IT for that. Like the service here is definitely more good but don't expect to talk to them or anything. They do pack up your to go orders for you. Again, my chef complaint is just the price for what you get on some or these dishes.

Came here for a birthday dinner with the parents. Made a reservation the day before and pre-ordered the Peking duck. Duck presentation was beautiful and was deftly served. Skin was perfectly crisp, meat was delicious, sauce was well balanced, green onion was thinly shredded, bun was nice and fluffy. Steamed sea bass flaked perfectly. Mom remarked that she wished there were pea sprouts and a staff member overheard and said it was available. The warm sesame balls at the end with the ice cream was such a nice birthday surprise. Thank you so much!

Not sure what the hype about this place is. Food is delicious, not outstanding. I can get similar food quality at other restaurants in the area Servers were attentive and courteous. We were well taken care of. However, there was a long wait between appetizers and main dishes that left us wondering whether anything was coming after appetizers Appreciate having round tables for our group. It made mingling much easier than long tables

Absolutely loved eating here! The Chinese food is amazing and we met Chef Chu himself! He is so nice and we told him we loved his son’s movies! The sweet & sour pork was amazing! Even my extremely picky toddler ate it and loved it! My favorite dish was the mu-shu pork! It was the best I’ve ever had. This is a great upscale atmosphere. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves good Chinese food.

Delicious Chinese food and nice atmosphere! Both authentic and with Americanized staples, not too salty or oily, very friendly staff, great place to celebrate with duck! Chef Chu even came out and spoke with us!

Classic, top-notch Chinese food on the Peninsula. So many good dishes, and the owners and wait staff are friendly and professional. Really really good cocktails too!

We got this place recommended by a colleague who already went there. When we arrived we had to wait 15 minutes until they had a table ready for us, which is quite good. We ordered a plate variety for three persons with soup and dessert. The food arrived quick and the servers did their job pretty well. Unfortunately the prawns were cold and were not tasting good. The rest of the food was great tho. I would still recommend going here.
