China Chef - Pleasant Hill

I was warmly welcomed and seated immediately upon entering the restaurant. The lunch special provided excellent value with a wide variety of options. It included a salad, sweet and sour soup (without MSG), and a choice between fried or steamed rice. They also offered dishes for those who prefer a smaller selection, such as the kung pao three ways (shrimp, chicken, and beef). I opted for that dish, as well as the salt and pepper shrimp, which were cooked well but could have used a bit more spice.

The service is friendly and the lunch specialties are good. The casual environment serves excellent Chinese cuisine. The food is solid with no complaints. I eat Chinese food frequently and this restaurant is perfect.

The food is delicious. I especially enjoyed the lunch special, which includes a soup.
