Chou's Kitchen in Chandler - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This place is incredible! Go and get two orders of juicy dumplings (because one just won't be enough)! Authentic cuisine you won't find in other places, and really nice owners and staff.

It was a disappointing experience. The waitress stated that it’s the law to pay 15% tip for family over 5. There are no signs on the wall/menu or anything on the receipt that states this “law”. She demanded I pay this. I will not visit again.

Fantastic soup dumplings and the best Kung pow chicken in the valley. Even the stir fry bok choy with mushrooms was amazing. Always great service even when they are slammed. Cozy atmosphere with classic chinese art. Good prices too.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch cuisine and a memorable meal!

Authentic Taiwan style Chinese food just like I've had in Taiwan

Our favorite! The soup dumplings are perfect every time and we love the szechuan chicken. The pork fried rice is also very flavorful. Other food dishes are good too, but we always return for these three. Service is always great and everyone is friendly. They remember you if you’re a returning customer and treat you like a friend. Dine in and take out both taste great. The serving size is large family style. Usually with 2 of us we always have enough to take left overs while still being very full.

Don’t order online!!! They said it would be ready at 3:30pm but we needed to wait for 10plus minutes. Also, after seeing their menu while we’re waiting, the price for online ordering is $2-3 per dish more expensive…. It’s so disappointing because their taste is good….

Fast service, legit/authentic menu, Szechuan Spicy Chicken had that wonderful classic “twice fried” texture and numbness from the Szechuan peppercorns. Dumplings tasted homemade. If you want the typical American/Korean style “Chinese”, their Cashew Chicken was flavorful and they didn’t skimp on the ingredients. Great place!

It had been a while since I'd eaten here...I don't go to the valley often. I always get the chicken with garlic sauce, extra spicy, and it has always been wonderful enough to bring me back. I don't know what has changed, if anything, but tonight's order was the best I've had. The staff here are always friendly and hospitable, and they really deserve this review. Check out Chou's kitchen in Chandler, you won't be disappointed.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The wonton soup is absolutely amazing & fresh

The food wasn’t bad but my girlfriend just wanted a small side of rice and the staff were very insistent they don’t do that and that she needed to order a large order but at the same time my order did. It also felt like they were a little rude to us. It just felt frustrating and I didn’t feel like we were asking much.

Three of us visited for the first time on a Saturday at 11 am when they opened. After a warm welcome, we ordered the pork potstickers, house special chow mien, garlic chicken, and sweet & sour chicken. Each dish was brought to us as it was ready, piping hot. We were impressed by the good portion sizes and the overall look of the food. We ate family style and enjoyed all 4 dishes - very tasty and satisfying. The friendly service was good. Glad we went early as it was almost full before noon. Take- away (to go) orders were popular. We’ll definitely be returning and will try the sweet & sour pork that we saw on another table.

Nice place for a quiet dinner. Service was good

Authentic Chinese food. Hands down one of the best!

The taste is not bad, it is the same. If the sauerkraut is more sour, it will be perfect. The store is not big, but the business is very good and the prices are reasonable. I think I will come again.

Love their soup dumplings (steamed juicy pork dumplings), fried pork buns, Kung Pao Chicken, salt and pepper pork, stir fried vegetable noodles, Mongolian beef, and pan fried chive egg pockets.

ALL the food is very good, though the soup dumplings are my pick. Its my favorite Chinese place in the valley. It's not "fancy", but my friends and I (including my Chinese American friend) are all fans.

Homemade dumplings. Food was great. Service was great. Now I know why their consistently recommended by so many people and why they have so many regulars

Worst customer service they only care about tips, food is alright but is not rocket science just like any other asian cuisine. Be respectful to your customers please before you go out of business!

The juicy dumplings are delicious! Also loved the hot sour soup.

AZ has delicious Chinese food, the fried rice is delicious, and the soup dumplings are also great! The sweet and sour chicken is also great! The eggplant tastes very strong and a bit salty, but overall it’s delicious!

It is really good authentic food. It is a little slow bc they are always short staffed and they make everything handmade. Classic hole in the wall type food. Some of the best Chinese food I have had in the valley though. You will enjoy!

Delicious and authentic. Really nice. Ordered claypot and a few other dishes and was really pleased with the flavors!

The sauerkraut sausage has tofu, but it has no flavor and has a lot of fat sausage. The salt in the stir-fried cabbage with fungus is not marked, some dishes are super salty, and the whole dish is also on the salty side. Chive box🥟very filling

One of the best Chinese places around. Szechuan beef is absolutely amazing and the sliced beef rolls are must haves. My wife loves the juicy dumplings as well. The staff is always nice and helpful guiding you through the expansive menus.

Worst service ever got. Forced customers to tip when we were not finished eating even before their closing time. Threw the bill to us with poker face and kept starring at us in order to kick us out earlier. Unpleasant experience. Food was overcooked, too dry and hard. Definitely not recommended.

It's a very authentic Chinese restaurant. I ordered "Chive Box" and "Hot and Sour Soup" that day. Both are very authentic, the leek box is full of leeks and glass noodles, and the hot and sour soup is really sour and spicy, with tender egg droplets. It is really touching to be able to eat authentic Chinese food in the desert. After paying the bill and seeing the medals on the wall, I realized that I was lucky enough to eat at a restaurant with good kungfu.

absolutely LOVED this food. very authentic, great service. flavors were outstanding, fresh dim sum was delicious!

We have been eating here for years. We have tried many different items on the menu and have never been disappointed. We have our favorites, I ordered the Szechuan Spicy Chicken made with the Szechuan pepper which is very delicious. My partner ordered the Chicken Stir-Fried Noodle which was cooked to perfection and very delicious. We always get great customer service. The restaurant is clean as were the restrooms. We will return again as the food is so delicious.

I ate here at lunch. Heads up no lunch menu. I ordered hot and sour soup and orange chicken. Soup was good. But the chicken was way overcooked, real crunchy and chicken dry and tough. The worst part was the young man that waited on me was horrible. I run out of anything to drink and had to get his attention for a glass of water. I had 1 napkin and needed another because the soup had my nose running. I had to get a lady’s attention for to go box and my ticket. First and last visit here. Way overpriced for a lunch and service to be this bad.

My go-to place for authentic chinese food. If you're looking for broccoli beef or orange chicken, this isn't the place for you. If you appreciate dumplings or more szuchuan style type of food, give this place a try. The service is quick and efficient. The ambiance kindof feels like a hole in the wall but also comfy and doesn't make you want to linger too long. Wish they were on door dash but won't complains since their prices and flavor are better than similar competitors such as Szuchuan garden. Definitely recommend this place.

The best dumplings in AZ, which is why we go once a month and drive over 40 miles one way.

Get the toothpick lamb, soup dumplings, and beef pies. So good!

This place is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the valley. Came from Surprise with our family and left full and happy. Their beef buns and beef stir fry noodles are amazing, their orange chicken is great too!

We have traveled the country tasting homemade dumplings and soup dumplings. We rated these soup dumplings and the pork dumplings a 5. The food was delivered hot and fresh, the service was amazing, friendly and attentive. We also ordered the house noodles which were good, the green onion pancakes were also very good. Defintely would come back when in Chandler!!

This place is INCREDIBLE, the handmade dumplings are to die for. Service was great and the restaurant is so cozy.

Exceptional! I love this place!

Being from NY we are particularly about our Asian food.. I dont normally eat asian food other places but was really in the mood. This place was packed when I arrived so I thought maybe it will be good & it was !! I waited an hour for my order in which they did warn me prior to ordering.. I waited! Glad I did... people came in around the clock for take out as well as to dine in.. the place is cozy. I ordered orange chicken after seeing about 6 plates being packaged for to go and 2 people from dine in order it.. it was flavorful with hints of orange, slight crunch and juicy on the inside.. I also ordered pork fried rice and I must say when I looked at it was disappointed because it just looked like white rice mixed with meat and veggies but let me tell you it was good!! Flavorful as well .. also tried noodles and beef sorry don't recall name. But it was also very good !! This is not my go to spot until I leave as well as when I come back..

This place is my new favorite spot when it comes to quality food !

Hands down the best Chinese food in the East Valley! The Steamed Juicy Pork Dumplings, Wonton Soup, Fried Chives Egg Pockets & Mongolian Beef are all great!

Good Sichuan chicken, not too spicy. The xiaolongbao was ok. Great and quick service.

Best Chinese restaurant in valley. Awards all over the walls! Highly recommend the dumplings and the szechuan beef and chicken

Good place we’re gonna go back just don’t get the eggplant with the minced pork. There’s not enough meat in it. The beef broccoli is really good. Well worth the money a lot of beef.

Worst place they kicked us out said they were closed an an it still Open I felt more like them bing races because some Chinese ppl had just walked n befor us

Best dim sum I've ever had. All of their dumplings are on point. Really everything is excellent. You can watch them make it fresh every time you order. The people are so kind and the prices are good for what you get. Yes, it's expensive but it's all handmade. Be patient please though. English is far from their first language so you may have to point at things on the menu. The payoff is worth it.

Food quality is no longer the same. Ordered stir-Fry shredded pork with garlic sauce, it had a lot of onions, few carrot and fungus. Pickled vegetables with pig intestines had tofu with intestines instead of pickled vegetables.

Boring flavorless generic Chinese food with inferior ingredients. Smallish orders. It was fairly busy tho, so maybe it's better dining in than getting to go. I got the house special noodles yawn 🥱 ate most of it tho. My husband got kung pao chicken, a bit more flavorful than my noodles but what odd flavor 🤔 kinda chemical. Will not return n do not recommend, you'd be better off at Panda Express. Ew.

It's super delicious and the ribs were superb!

The dumplings and pepper/salt fish are to die for. Everything was SOO good! If you want good Chinese food, this is the place

We were looking for a place to have soup dumplings and were excited to see they were on the menu. The dumplings were pretty good, however, the condiments on the table have not been attended to. The hot sauce bottle (siracha) was caked over and not dispensable, that was disappointing. I would not even leave a poor review, however, the Szechwan Beef was absolutely inedible. It was severely over fried and very dry. Between myself and my daughter, we couldn't eat more then two bites, and it left both of our mouths tingling for an extended period of time. We took home the leftovers, thinking maybe my husband would like it, as he likes crispier food than I do. I heard him in the kitchen choking and asking me what was in it, as he experienced all the same issues we did. Sadly, the waiter never asked us what we thought, or I would have said how disappointing it was.

Very nice people with very good food!

Tasty food. Got the house noodles and very tasty. Service is great. These folks work very hard!

Everything we've ordered from here has been so delicious! We order something new each time. However, the Chives, Pork, and Shrimp Dumplings are perfect; we order them every time as an appetizer!!

First time here. Ordered to go because they were so busy. As I was finishing, I found a hair in my orange chicken. Staff should wear hair nets.

They make and serve GREAT food here. Service is also excellent!

Was watching food Network..., and one of the contestants made Chinese dumplings. I immediately thought of Chou's Kitchen and ordered an all dumpling take-out dinner . All very tasty

I went there with my brother last night for the first time, after reading some recommendations online, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out they had pork intestines on the menu! I haven't had them since Taste of Qin, which sadly shut down, so I was enthused about trying them here. Between the two of us, we got four dishes each, and had plenty left over. The staff were polite, and one of them accidentally undercharged my brother when the bill came, but we informed them of it, and the mistake was corrected right away. Good food, good service, but the lighting was too bright for my eyes, but I also work the graveyard shift so that's just a me-problem. I definitely would enjoy going back again to try their other dishes.

Best Chinese place I've been to in Chandler. Smelled the food from the outside and it drew me in like in a cartoon. Dine in is a little cramped but for great food it is no problem.

Excellent soup dumplings and Mongolian beef.

Good Chinese restaurant. Fast service. Decent size portion that runs around $13 entree. Many choices. Enjoy!

I have eaten here and ordered takeout several times. The food is head and shoulders above any other Chinese restaurant I’ve had in Phoenix, and they’ve gone above and beyond when someone in my party has a special request. I really can’t say enough good about this place!

Best Chinese food in Arizona. I have been eating here for years, basically the owners are like our family now. This is authentic Chinese food, made from the heart.

Please don't eat here. Food department should reevaluate this place...They will try feed us the meat that we don't know what it is.. You can see the kitchen once you enter the restaurant. While I was checking out. I noticed that the cook accidentally dropped food on the floor.. We saw the owner\lady cashier picked up meat from the floor and served it to customer.. This is insane... You will regret going here...

Not fancy.... but the food. . omg so good

Service and food is excellent. Wonton Soup is the best I’ve had.

The sweet sour pork chop and chow fun is good 👍

Excellent, flavorful, fresh dishes. Can't wait to go through the menu.

Ordered tofu with scallions and vegetables. Found one carrot and three pieces of mushroom most of the people at our table, disliked the food to the point to where my wife is throwing away her leftovers.

The soup dumplings are amazing!

They offer authentic Chinese food AND if you are polite and they're not super busy... you can request certain dishes to be Gluten Free. 😃 The wait staff are kind and patient when ordering special diet items in English. Be patient with whoever is in the back cooking. If they can make your order to your diet specification on that dish then cool. If not, move on. They have PLENTY of different options and their vegetable dishes are to die for. I go with coworkers who introduced me and I'd love to bring my hubby for a date night. The food is good no matter what you order and it ain't no American style orange here, son. Good portions, decent prices and you can't beat the flavor. We're finally becoming regulars.

Very nice food, The serving is a bit slow but it is worth the waiting.

The food had really good taste, but I ordered the house special noodles which I was told had shrimp. My order came with absolutely no shrimp. But other than that my takeout order was very filling and I had enough for lunch the next day. The lady behind the counter was a little crazy, but had a big smile and a great attitude. I went on a Friday evening and the place was packed.

Nice staff, family style food services, and good pricing.

Absolutely amazing, and very authentic! Definitely check this place out!!

The food smelled and tasted terrible. Could not eat. Mongolian beef is deep fried no sauce or vegetables. Please don't eat here.

Delicious food. The staff was friendly and the place has a nice ambience for dining in

Always amazing food and service!

Very good. The lady spent time explaining the authenticity of the food and it's all made fresh. Hot and sour soup was excellent. Look forward to going back

Love this place, the pork dumplings are so good as well as the hot and sour soup!

Food is good here. Popular with other customers.

always so good and staff is always friendly

EVERY time I come here, I try something new. And everything is always so delicious. Food comes out quickly and service is friendly and helpful!! Awesome food of northeastern China. Great homemade dumplings and buns. I love the cumin lamb. Great place!!

Very good food and friendly happy people. I will be returning often.

Great authentic Chinese food as well as some "American Chinese" dishes. Many types of awesome dumplings!

So good! We had the pork soup dumplings and House Special Noodles with orange chicken and pot stickers. Can’t go wrong with anything here! The service is friendly and quick too. Wish I lived closer because I love this place.

I come in every so often, maybe once or twice a year - and I think the staff know me, too. I’m the Gweilo that always orders the cold duck 🦆 This is the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. I think the other gweilos get bummed when it doesn’t taste like panda express or don’t get the menu changed for them, so they leave a bad review 😒 Keep up the great work, guys! I LOVE your food and will be coming back! ☺️

Love their soup dumplings! Everything is priced fairly and good portion sizes.

Ordered the shrimp noodles and Szechuan chicken. Noodles had no taste and were really gummy and soft. Chicken was also really bland and super dry. Spent nearly $50 on some of the worst takeout. Don’t recommend this place.

Everything was great. The hot and sour soup probably the best ever. The dumplings we had were very good. My eggplant garlic with pork was awesome. My wife had the pan fried noodles with seafood and that was just okay. But the floor was a bit dirty and the condiments were a little sticky. Wish they had just tidied up a little bit better. We do really like this place but it has gone down a bit since we first started going here 4 or 5 years ago.

Although I live within a short drive of this restaurant, I had never considered going until I read they have soup dumplings. I thought this place was just another Americanized version of Chinese food. I was wrong! So wrong! If you’re not familiar with soup dumplings, omg be prepared to be amazed! They are steamed and have a broth cooked into the dumpling pocket. So delicious! Anyway, I’ve had soup dumplings in LA and I was looking for these locally. Not only does this restaurant make these, they are so tasty! We went there yesterday with friends and also had fried rice and Peking Pork (also very tasty and served with bean curd wrappers). The service was really nice, the waitress checked on us regularly. The food was brought out to us as soon as it was made, piping hot! I honestly can’t wait to go back. It was THAT good. The only downside to this restaurant was that they only have one variety of soup dumplings. I wish they had more varieties! Please consider making other flavors!

Ordered food to go. We haven’t been here in a couple of years. It was once our favorite Chinese restaurant. We ordered an old favorite, sliced pork with jalapeños and onion. What we received was tiny balls of deep fried or overcooked mystery meat with no onions. Instead of jalapeños they had added chopped Thai chili peppers. There were so many and so hot this dish even cooked right would have been inedible. We also ordered kung pao chicken. This was basically onions and peppers with rubbery chicken in a completely bland sauce. The pot stickers were not fried at all. I finished them at home. This was totally disappointing. Our old favorite is gone.

Best real Chinese food. Made by real Chinese people.

Had some issues with ordering online at the chandler location due to accidentally ordering at the wrong location and they tried to help me out and contacted me back to try to get a refund! The lady that called was very nice and helpful and although I had to drive a little further to come pick up my order due to having issues with refunding, the customer service was great and they even gave me a free drink for the inconvenience! Greatly appreciate how friendly and nice the staff was! And the food is always delicious!

This is our go to place for Chinese food. Amazing quantity and qualify for the price. The customer service has always been excellent.

Don't come here when your patience is low or hungry. I like their dimsums, service is slow and sitting capacity is in the low side

Chou's kitchen is one of the best Chinese restaurant's in the valley. I'd recommend their beef pies. There is some communist propaganda art in the restaurant, which I thought was off-putting. Their Chongqing chicken could be a bit spicier but it's still very good. I think their water boiled fish could have a bit more flavor in the liquid.

amazing food! sometimes the wait can be a bit for the food but you can't rush perfection. always find any excuse to come here and eat :)

Overall: 10/10. Food is incredible, better than my mother's cooking (please don't tell her), and GET THE SOUP DUMPLINGS. Ambience: 10/10. Not too crowded, tables with sticky-note number labeling, clean and homey. It's every Chinese restaurant ever, with red leather booths, framed clippings with ratings, awards, magazine covers, and a splash of random art. It's perfect. Food: 12/10. Impeccable soup dumplings/Xiao Long Bao/小笼包/Steamed Juicy Pork Dumplings, you absolutely have to try them. If you've never had them before-- wait for them to cool a bit, place one into a large soup spoon, nibble a hole and drink the soup from the spoon, or eat it in a single gulp and burn your entire mouth with hot broth. Either way is fine and deeply satisfying. They're made by chilling broth into gelatinized cubes and incorporating that into the filling, which means that once steamed, the broth becomes a delicious liquid inside the dumpling. If you don't pick it up delicately enough, you may tear it and lose some soup, so if you can't quite get chopsticks to work, just use a hand to pick it up and put it into a spoon. We also had mapo tofu (which has the numbing Szechuan peppercorns-- so it isn't really spicy), eggplant, potsticker dumplings, skewered toothpick lamb, and scallion pancakes (across two occasions). Everything was excellent, no complaints, but of course, the soup dumplings are the stand-outs here. The best part was how cheap it all was-- came out to around $15/person. 10 soup dumplings were only $10.98! An absolute STEAL for the amount of work that goes into them and how delicious they are. They also have an incredible chili oil (more finely ground than 老干妈/Laoganma chili oil) at each table. Service: 10/10. Service isn't overwhelming (they do not come by every five minutes to check on you), but they are attentive enough to notice when you're finished, and are quick with the check. If you're shy about your Mandarin, you can order off the menu in English or with the menu numbers. Facilities: 9/10. Bathroom is located in the back, adjacent to the kitchens; the area in the back looks a bit dodgy and dark overall, but I was pleasantly surprised by the bathroom. It was clean, smelled nice, and had a hand dryer that actually dried my hands (a bit like a jet engine, but effective, with a UV light as well). No paper towels, unfortunately. Overall: I've been here twice now, and it's going to become part of my monthly routine to stop in, particularly for soup dumplings. They are an absolute show-stopper. I think about them at least twice a day and the next time I'll be able to get them. GET THE SOUP DUMPLINGS!

Poor quality and they really don't care. They served me pork when I ordered chicken. To go order . Called them and they were not interested in fixing it. The guy just hung up.

Foos was delicious! Service was great just not spectacular. It's mor
