Went there for the first time tonight and am very pleased. The food is outstanding and very fairly priced, and you get a lot of it. Thank you!

Food is horrible!! Please stay away! It's something no one should have to spend money on. We were highly disappointed! This is my honest review.

This used to be a five-star place, not anymore. Food tastes more oily, less fresh than it once did. That said, it remains the best option for New York-style Chinese take out in Gainesville, given the LOW bar set by its closest competitors. Food is generally ready quickly, and the service is efficient.

Portions were like most take-out Chinese, plenty. On the plus side, the hot and sour soup was very good. It actually had a little spice to it and good flavor. The Szechuan chicken had some spice, but seemed to be almost tasteless otherwise. Egg rolls were ok. I doubt I'd go here again if I lived in the area.

Service was ridiculously rude. General Tso’s chicken was soggy but good flavor. Bourbon chicken was good. Only went there because China 88 was closed. Won’t do it again.

It's always hot and delicious! This is our go to spot in town for American Chinese food. Their orange chicken and Mongolian beef is so good! It's my favorite place when I'm craving Chinese food after a long day at work.

We stopped here tonight on the way to our new home in The Villages because supermarkets were closed due to the upcoming hurricane and we needed to get food for the next few days. I wasn't expecting much because this was a little hole-in-the-wall type of place where you normally get very average food at best. But everything was so fresh and even the vegetable fried rice was great quality, tasty, and full of veggies. And they told me what items had no MSG so I stuck with those for the most part (white sauce). Highly recommend. They even were kind enough to give me a bag of ice because our ice packs for the drive for our food in the car had gotten too warm.

Moved to Gainesville a little over a year ago and I tried numerous Chinese places that all were mediocre to simply bad. Finally, Chan's delivered. Flavors were good, sweet dishes had a nice subtle sweetness and spicy dishes had enough spice without overpowering the flavor of the dish itself, actually enhancing it. Portion size was very good. Only issue was it's a tad on the pricier side and I couldn't find a good menu anywhere so here's one. The bar was basically on the floor, but Chan's was the best to date in Gainesville. Definite recommend.
Egg rolls were mushy inside and chicken not very flavorful. Probably will not go back since there are several other options.

Food was hot and tasted pretty good. We were excited to find a house spicy mustard somewhere finally! Szechuan chicken and shrimp, General Tso’s chicken, wantons, eggs rolls and vegetable fried rice. Good amount of veg in the Szechuan dish.

The food at Chans is delicious, fresh, hot, and always prepared from scratch. This isn't your average Chinese takeout. They really care about the food they're cooking. There are many choices so don't worry about not finding something you'll like. They are takeout only. We love Chans and dine from here often.
