Ordered the hot and spicy chicken combo, spring rolls and potstickers.Paid 22$ we left highly unsatisfied. We each ate a piece of chicken one spring roll and one potsticker. We asked for a refund and were told that because we paid cash we couldn't have a refund. We definitely won't be going back!!? worst food and

Food was poorly prepared (couldn't eat half of my entree, maybe 5 edible bites of chicken). The rice was fine but that was ALL. Service was brusque and minimal. A sad state from 10 years ago ?

We recently were in town and had to stop by some of our old favorites. We often will order the Springfield style cashew chicken when ordering takeout here. This time we were surprised by how few cashews (and green onions) were on our meals. Maybe 3-5 cashew pieces?? I did see where you can order a side of cashews/onions but didn't think it would be necessary. The service is otherwise fine, but we were a little disappointed by our "cashew chicken" entrees.

Chinese Chef has amazing fresh made to order food with all fresh ingredients! The owner and the staff are friendly and professional! Joe, the owner has had this restaurant for 40 years! It is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Springfield! You are always guaranteed to get a fresh, quick and affordable & meal! If you want Springfield, famous cashew chicken, this is the place to come! if you want some authentic Chinese dishes, this is also the place to come! You can dine-in or pick up through the drive-through! It's conveniently located in the center of town! Thank you Chinese Chef for the great food and great service always!!

The food is delicious! I love their chicken and the sauce. The service is fast, they even have a drive through. This is my favorite place to stop for Chinese food when I am in Springfield!

the youngs girls working in the drive thru window.. cant hear.. cant understand.. cashew chicken was suprisingly bad.. given all they boast their awards.. its not the cashew I grew up with in Springfield its a very dark dark sauce and maybe 2 cashews on top.. the chicken is tasty even without any sauce.. portions to go are kinda small. The fried rice might be the worst I've ever had not even a spec of vegetables.. what am I paying for if there is nothing but fried white rice? Photos shown do not depict the food you get. The Orange chicken was likely the sweetest dinner I've had in my life its literally a dessert with no tang like it should have. all these reviews let me down. so far I've enjoyed Corner 21 and Cashew Chef and this is my first and last visit to this Chinese Chef..

Every time I order from here I order the hot and spicy and the last 6 times they have given me the general chicken. Really disappointing they have the best hot and spicy but I do not like the general. I love this place just really disappointing I was looking forward to the hot and spicy all day. I just threw it away. I did enjoy my soup though.

I have been going here for 10+ years, But no more. the quality of the food has been on a slow decline for the last few years. the chicken in my general Tso was dry, tough and over cooked and the sauce had a definitive burnt after taste. I would be surprised if the fried rice touched a frying pan, it had no eggs or onions and only 4 small chunks of carrots for the whole order.
The experience was disappointing.The noodles were the only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The sauce didn't help, it made it seem burnt. The egg rolls tasted of plastic and cheap chapstick. While the service was nice, the portions were small and overpriced. Would not return.

Food was very good. Portions slightly smaller than most Chinese restaurants. Prices have gone up a lot. Service was good though. Slightly above average experience. Would try again.

We ordered inside & I was charged more than I expected - when I asked to have 1 of the 2 receipts, she held them back & refused saying she needed them for the kitchen. We ordered the hot & spicy chicken & received chicken with a molasses sauce with zero spice. I was expecting a better experience from the other reviews, but we will not return.
Amazing food!
