So far everything I have tried is delicious. The spicy wings are incredible the way it is presented and served. Looking forward to trying salt and pepper calamari. The shrimp with vegetables was fantastic. I highly recommend this.

stopped by for lunch during a college visit tour. The food tasted very good and the dishes were served fast and big too. i am typically picky on chinese food as i prefer cooking Chinese food myself. The lady was also friendly.

Food was excellent. I bought To-Go. Beef with peppers, beef fried rice, spring rolls and wonton soup; all delicious. The place is really small; one table with 4 chairs only.

The Chinese-American offerings here are easily the best in the Pioneer Valley! That's what my partner and I tried for our first visit but they also have plenty of Hong Kong dishes. I was very tempted by the salted egg chicken wings and braised beef shank on the specials menu, but decided to go with the General Tso's chicken that I'd planned to order. The General Tso's came out piping hot served with broccoli and white rice. The chicken itself was good-sized chunks of dark meat with a moderately thick breading that still had a decent crunch to it. The sauce was indulgently sweet but not overly greasy. When I ate my leftovers the next day I definitely noticed the fragrance of fresh ginger in the sauce. I'm not usually one to rave about vegetables but the broccoli was perfect! They are clearly using quality ingredients here and you can taste the delicious leafy greenness of the broccoli. I had a similar experience biting into one of the spring rolls. The cabbage inside tasted like cabbage! I don't think I've ever had a spring roll or egg roll that I could say that of. Like the chicken, the spring roll was fried at the right temperature and there was very little grease that dripped off at the table. In my opinion, the quality of the food justifies the prices. I am glad to pay a bit more to enjoy food made from fresh ingredients that is enjoyable to eat. We will definitely be back to try more!

This place is really sweet. It has a family business vibe. The menu is simple and straightforward. We got the salt and pepper tofu which was freshly fried, crisp on the outside and pillowy on the inside. It came covered in toasted garlic, which was nutty and delicious. We also got the General Tso's chicken which perfectly fried dark meat coated in a tangy, rich sauce. The food came out fast and the people working there were friendly and kind. Don't sleep on Chef Lau!

The poached chicken is what chinese food should be, real food cooked without needing oils, salt, and sugar to taste good. The ginger sauce was fresh and full of flavor, and is made in house. I look forward to trying more authentic hong kong style cuisine at Chef Lau.

Loved Chef Lau, the general Tso chicken is really good and their vegetable fried rice is amazing. They don't make it brimming with soy so it looks pale, but the taste is on point. Yummy.

I really enjoy eating the food at Chef Lau’s. I usually order the salt and pepper squid, but I wanted to shake things up today so I elected to order the chicken and broccoli combination! What a surprise, the chicken was well seasoned, the broccoli was fresh, crunchy but not raw, and the fried rice tasted so real, not the usual stuff you get from a Chinese restaurant, but a lightly seasoned, not too salty, very deliciously prepared fried rice with carrots, peas and eggs. Everything was freshly stir fried and you can taste the difference and the light flame touched flavor. I will definitely be back!
