Chinez Chinese Restaurant

Horrible food, small portions, high prices, poor service

by wizardtwo at Citysearch

My family and I started eating at Chinez ever since they opened. Since then, I have observed the following:

prices have continued to rise, quality of food has declined, service is slow with few wait staff, and more importantly, the portions have shrunk. Recently, we had a party of 3 adults and 1 child. We ordered mu shu pork. The waiter brought 2 portions to the table. We ended up ordering 2 more dishes just so everyone could have enough to eat. Over the years, we have spent a lot of money at this restaurant. NO MORE. There are plenty of other excellent Chinese restaurants in the area that value your business. AVOID!

food ok service bad

I ordered chicken and it was "fat" it contained yellow things in it and it tasted weird. The server was not friendly, I didnt take the chance to complain or create a scene. The water which was served was not clean and had small black particles in it. I usually like white steam rice and they brought fried rice without asking. I ordered hot and sour soup and they took it away before I finished. I am not the kind to complain or request things to be in a certain way, those things are common sense. I am surprised the service or food were not good.

What a good chinese food there!!

I am an asian woman leaving in LA over 10 years. I love Chinze food so much cause can't find such pure and ideal asian food overthere, especially, fried rice that I love it.

How does that guys knows that "certainly not real chefs who know about Asian cuisine"? Maybe I am not an asian!!! Anyway, I am highly recommended to enjoy food at this restaurant.

Gone Way Down Hill! Food Poorly Prepared

by MarcoSanchez at Citysearch

I have eaten at this restaurant quite a bit over the years. I'm finished! The quality of the food has gone consistently downhill. The meals are now very poorly prepared. Seems like everything I have ordered lately has been overly salty and just not tasty. They have obviously hired and trained low-end hacker food prep guys (certainly not real chefs who know about Asian cuisine) to cut corners. It really is apparent that the folks in the kitchen don't know what they are doing. I have crossed this place off my list. I don't want to pay to be disappointed any longer.

• Pros: Service is acceptable. Parking is easy
• Cons: Food is poorly prepared by low-end hacker food prep guys

LOVE IT!!

I just recently moved to Irvine from Las Vegas, looking for a good Chinese restaurant and then I found Chinez. I tried a few items from their special menu, it was awesome!!! and the orange chicken was really good. I was reading some of the reviews and one of the guy said he was mad because the hostess was asking him to pay the money that he owes to the restaurant, (what's wrong with paying if you do owe them the money, that's funny)? regardless, I will go back to Chinez for sure.
