This place checked all the boxes for casual dining . First and foremost the food was spectacular. Every dish we ordered,and there were many in our large group, was cooked perfectly. There wasn't too much salt, sugar , and oil to any of the meals. Crowd favorites were sesame beef, sautéed eggplant, Mapo tofu to name a few. Our server Kenny was friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back soon

I've been here a good handful of times with my grandma (who is a big fan of Chinese food) and we both enjoy it very well every time. The food is consistent and service is great! We usually go around lunchtime on weekdays and parking is easy to find as well.

New to the area seeking a flavorful quick bite, I went in to order and the little panda from the lucky box was a huge hit when I got hime. This was an excellent lunch for our busy Saturday. Will be back!

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Portland. The sesame chicken was perfect, and the orange chicken and shrimp were also good. Finding high quality Chinese food in the city can be difficult, but look no further than Chef Zhao.

Tons of vegetarian selections! Excellent house-made noodles and the BEST ma po tofu in town.

Chinese Food, particularly Cantonese, is bland, in my opinion. But not at Chef Zhao's! I placed my first order last night. Not only is the food extremely good, but the portions are large and the price is very reasonable. Highly recommend Chef Zhaos!

Favorite Chinese takeout cuisine right here, look no further in the St John's NOPO area. The sesame chicken and green beans (medium spice) were the star for our meal. I've never had house fried rice it contains all the meat but I'll probably just do veggies or one meat next time. The Lo mein I recommend for the noodle fans as it's smaller noddles and tasty. They forgot the fortune cookies last time so make sure to ask haha. I'm gonna have to compare: -generals chicken vs orange vs sesame chicken and report back bc all 3 are choice from here. Really can't go wrong. Takes about 15mins every time we do take out. It's really worth the short drive! Must must try. I think you will thank me!!
