China Chef

This is the best hidden gem for weekend dim sum! Service is gonna be way slow, as there are only like 2 people working the whole room. But the dim sum is delicious and the price is great! The price range is $4 / $4.5 / $5. The size of the dishes is on the small side, but they all taste so good, and at that price, you can order 2! My husband and I usually order about 8 dishes normally, and this usually runs us in the mid $70 price range. Here we ordered 12 dishes (I know, we were like what the hell did we just do!) And it total was about $62. This is my new go to dim sum spot! Pro tip: they do to go orders. There website does not show dim sum, but you can phone in your order.

The place looks nice but the food quality was mediocre. We ordered dumplings and they were made with a very thick layer of dough. Sesame chicken was made with a thick layer of dough as well with dark meat only. Overall, we got the impression that they used low quality ingredients. Not going to be back.

China Chef used to be the place in Secaucus to get Chinese food from but over the past several months they have increased the prices and decreased their portion sized and the quality of their food. Majority of their portions such as their chicken dishes are 90% just sauce and 10% of chicken in which they only give small pieces and they decreased their meal sizes to the point they aren’t even a meal anymore. The ingredients they use are of horrible standards to the point they started to use spaghetti instead of actual noodles for their lo Mein. I once used to be a regular customer for several years but no more. Order from Aji’s. Better quality and portion and they won’t rip you off.
