I really want to like China Chef Bistro, it is neat and clean, cutely decorated, the help is friendly and the food is well prepared. It's just very plain, so I will come back and try a spicier dish. The lunch specials are 5.99 and 6.50, but the portions are small to match. Perhaps a couple of entrees and some leftovers would be a better approach if you have a big appetite. I ordered the shrimp with vegetables, minus the zucchini., Dining companion had the chicken with snow peas and was very pleased. The lunch entree comes with a crab puff and small vegetable egg roll, both of which were average, and since I don't eat gluten or fried food, are a waste on me. The hot and sour soup was very mild in both the hot and sour departments, and it did contain pork so, be careful if you are vegetarian. The egg drop soup was a good traditional preparation. I look forward to trying more of the menu!
