Chef Zhang

I would love to give this place more than 5 stars if I could! This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, and I eat out quite frequently. We got the chicken in chili oil, hot and sour seafood soup, fried fish fillet with dry red chili, mapo tofu with minced pork, and shrimp and beef fried rice. All tasted good, but we especially really liked the chicken in chili oil and the fried fish fillet. The portions were generous and the prices were extrememly fair. The staff was so kind and took great care of us too, making sure we had enough water and checking if we need anything else or asking how the food is. I would love to be back even if it means driving 30+ minutes!

My family’s go to spot!! I love their flavor profile. It’s not bland, or “need more seasoning”. It’s PERFECT. I Be careful though some of their food are spicy. You may need to ask for less peppercorn, or less dry chili. But other than that, I’m sure you’ll enjoy their food. 10000/100 every time!!!!

TL;DR: Easily one of my favorite restaurants to eat at. The food here always hits and their portion sizes are out of this world. You absolutely should make this one of your go to spots! (I'm not even a local and I still come here a lot!) Whenever I'm in the area, this is the place I go to. There hasn't been a single item on the menu that I didn't like. But if I had to pick just one, it would have to be the Cumin lamb. If I didn't convince you to give this place a try already, then let that lamb speak for itself. It's honestly one of the main reasons I keep coming back here. Tender, flavorful, and brings comfort to your soul. There are few places that can serve you up a good lamb dish, and Chef Zhang is one of the rare few. I honestly don't understand how they are so consistent with their food too, but it's exactly why I find myself getting food from them over and over again. If you haven't tried this place, you absolutely should! And if you have and read my review, you should share your own experience too. Cause certain you'll love it just as much as I do!

I would leave seven out of five stars if I could. This is my new favorite local restaurant. What blew me away was that literally every dish we ordered was five star or better in my opinion and the portion sizes were amazing. Just take a look at the photos I posted. My family will be coming here from now on on nights that we don't feel like cooking. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering how amazing the food tastes and how large the servings are. I hope they don't change a thing in the coming years. Usually when we order so many dishes at a place, we find a couple that are weaker than the others. That was not the case here. We might have had things that we favor a little more than others, but in terms of flavor and overall culinary excellence, they all were perfect in their own way. This place is truly a rare find!

I don't usually write google reviews (I'm active on the Beli app instead) but this place deserves kudos. Food: so good. we got toothpick lamb, salt and pepper jumbo shrimp, stir fried cabbage (vinegar), thin sliced beef (brisket) in golden sour soup, and beef and tripe soup with radish. my favorite was the salt and pepper jumbo shrimp; perfect fry, good but not heavy seasoning, and the shrimps were nicely big, cleaned, and fried hard head-on (shells were crispy enough to eat and you get all the good stuff in the shrimp head). next best would be the thin sliced beef in golden sour soup; not as sour as you'd think (i love sour) but really hearty and satisfying with the beef and enoki mushrooms. the stir fried cabbage is a classic and they did it well (crunchy, flavorful); pork was nicely thin and tender. the toothpick lamb was good, nicely spiced, but didn't wow me; it was fun to eat but not as tender as i'd prefer. the beef and tripe soup with radish was comforting, creamy, nicely opaque and milky, but overall didn't wow me. Food was served in a good amount of time. I'd definitely return for to try their fried fish, soft shell crab, and cumin lamb. Service: Friendly and communicat
