As a Wicked fan and avid foodie, I was so excited to check this place out. The food was just delicious and so comforting. The service was as good as it gets with the servers and hosts knowing so many of their customers. Bonus points for the Wicked stuff hidden around the restaurant!

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

Went on a Thursday night, the restaurant is still packed with customers. The owner of the restaurant is very friendly, walks around and talks to customers. Liked their Mu Shu, the pan cake is paper thin but holds well, never had that in other Chinese restaurants. Singapore-Style Rice Noodles is tasty too.

This is an old classic in Los Altos, been in business since back when your dad was poor.
Why because they do the Chinese restaurant right. When you enter you are greeted with a bustling place with short wait tomes, and delectably tacky Chinese ambience and artifacts. Including some celebrity pics.
The wait staff isn’t too polite, nor rude. Just perfect. The food is, well, not pretending to be anything but what you’d expect. A bit (quite) unhealthy but tastes amazing, served with a hot kettle of tea. By the way, without which you’d be super bloated when you’re done.
Go on your cheat day.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area. Plenty of options: recommending the duck and beef dishes. Love hot and sour soup but here it was not as good as I like; less flavor and spicy. Still one of my best places for Asian food! They allow you to add meet options to vegetable dishes!

I recently visited Chef Chu’s in Los Altos and left with mixed feelings. The food was decent, but the overall dining experience felt rushed.
I ordered the Seasonal Vegetable Delight, Kung Pao Tofu, and Braised Triple Mushroom. The flavors were enjoyable but not particularly memorable. The Seasonal Vegetable Delight had fresh ingredients, though the sauce leaned a little flat compared to other stir-fries I’ve had. The Kung Pao Tofu came with a nice balance of heat and crunch from the peanuts, but the tofu itself could have used more depth of seasoning. The Braised Triple Mushroom was earthy and satisfying, yet also a bit one-note after a few bites. Overall, the food met expectations without truly standing out.
Where the visit fell short was the service. While the staff was polite, the pace of the meal felt hurried—I barely had time to settle into the dishes before plates arrived in quick succession. It gave the impression that the restaurant was trying to move guests along quickly rather than letting us enjoy the meal at a comfortable pace.
Chef Chu’s is clearly a popular local spot with a loyal following, and I can see the appeal in the variety of dishes on the menu. But based on this visit, I’d say it’s more of a reliable place for a quick meal than a destination for a relaxed evening out.

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.

Food was very flavorful and portions were good. We got the dragon hot wings, Mongolian lamb and tangerine chicken. The dragon wings, while expertly cooked, were not spicy at all. Service was very attentive and quick. Will certainly go back.

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.

My favorite Chinese restaurant. You need to go early 5:00-5:30, reservations are required.
Loved the pot stickers, pork fried rice and mayo prawns with candied pecans.
