So good. Came in because I saw they had bar seating and I needed somewhere to eat dinner solo for the night. Really cool staff. Bartender was super friendly and made sure I was taken care of. They're a little pricey, but the quality and ambiance come with the price. I tried the Malaysian Fried rice. So good. Had a different kick to it. Had more of a coconut umami taste to it. They also had dim sum all day. So I ordered the xiaolongbao; man it hit the craving I had. Overall, this is a place to take a date or chill with family. Loved the experience

Haven't been here in a while. Forgotten how good this place is. Had the Chicken Corn Soup, Beef and Broccoli and Beef Chow Fun. But the clear winner was the Beef Steak HK Style. Service was good. Restaurant is beautiful. Good for special occasions and parking lot!

Excellent choices on an extensive menu. I came when a friend who is a regular, so I let him do the ordering. We did chicken fried rice, mango prawns and Thai basil chicken & prawns. We also ordered mango mojitos, very refreshing. Service was fast and friendly

This restaurant is nice and huge! Food was amazing, every dish we ordered was delicious especially the sweet and sour chicken, was nice and crispy! The portions are little bit small compared to other Chinese restaurants but food flavor makes up for it. War won ton soup is a must to try, loved the flavor. Service wasn't the best, not attentive and not too friendly. Lots of things on this menu I want to try and will be back for!

If I could give 5 more stars I would. We had my grandpa's funeral reception here & everything was amazing. The owner & the staff were sooo accommodating, understanding, patient, & very efficient with the food & service. We maxed out the banquet room of 100 capacity & overflowed into the restaurant with another 90 people, it was very overwhelming, but they handled it so amazingly well. Every single one of them! I highly recommend them. Thank you all again sooo much. You made a very hard day & turned it into a huge family experience with fantastic food & service. All of our family was full, not just in our stomachs but in our hearts as well. Thank you.

I finally got the Chinese food I've been craving for months. When I want Chinese food, nothing else will do so I don't even bother trying any other place until I can make it to China Bistro!! I get it; we all like what we like! As for me, This Is It!! Love the staff and Edward is always on point. This time we ordered take out and chilled at the bar while we waited over great conversation. They have a nice selection of wine and top shelf spirits. The icing on the cake is when I finally arrived home and dove into what we ordered and EVERYTHING was exactly as I'd hoped it would be. Flavors were on point... orange peel chicken, combo fried rice, chicken chow mein, broccoli beef, and basil chicken wings. Chef's Experience China Bistro is still one of my favorites. I was so caught up I only got one picture. Hope you enjoy this place as much as I do!

LOVE THIS PLACE!! And 100% recommend and they brought back their HAPPY HOUR (starts at 3pm). I ordered: Seafood Fried Rice: Soooo freaking good, comes with white fish, shrimp, scallops. Salt and Pepper Fish: Not greasy, super light and cooked to perfection Long Island Iced Tea: Perfect! I was served fast. Food was hot!! And service was amazing. There are many seats and this place is very spacey. Definitely will be back
