190 Minet's Point Rd, Barrie, ON L4N 8J8, Canada
Chef Chan is the best take-out Chinese restaurant in Barrie! Their house fried rice is absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The Szechuan chicken is a must-try; it has just the right amount of spice and is incredibly satisfying. The prices are fantastic, offering great value for the generous portions. The staff is always friendly and efficient, making the ordering process a breeze. If you're looking for authentic Chinese cuisine to enjoy at home, Chef Chan is the place to go! Highly recommend!
We have been ordering from ChefChan for many years ,sometimes with various level of satisfaction, but for the most part the food was always fresh. We ordered Saturday evening and it was awful! service was off hand, the food especially the vegetables were not fresh and that’s a first. The whole menu was practically inedible, a huge disappointment and complete waste of money, most ended in the compost container.Needless to say we will never, ever order from Chef Chan again.
Service was great. Order lunch special chicken Cantonese cho main. Omg. It’s so plain and the beef tasted off. Dumped the entire thing. It”s so awful to have this food when you are hungry. Never come back again! I’m sorry for the low star but this place needs some serious improvement.
My husband went to this location to order dinner. He purchased Tai Dop, Egg Roll, and Won Ton soup. The soup was very bland. The egg roll was ok. But he could not eat the the Tai Dop and attempted to return the whole container the next day. The dish, as per their menu, did not contain any snow peas or shrimp and was tasteless. The person who he reported this too did offer to add snow peas (at this point the dish is 18 hours old). My husband asked for a refund for the dish but was refused. He left the dish with them and promised them he would not return. In the past, this restaurant had high reviews but is continuously going downhill now so we will seek another restaurant for future Chinese takeout.
Worse experience and product AGAIN!! Ordered chicken with diced vegetables and almonds. When I opened the container it had One piece of broccoli, 3 thin slices of carrots, a few pieces of celery and 99 percent onions. The flavor of the chicken was off and had most likely been boiled! NEVER AGAIN! I will drive across the city to Asia Wok before I ever spend my money on this place, and this food!
This chinease food restaurant is cheap and they have so many dinner and lunch combos to choose from and my favorite thing is how much food you get it's unreal I guarantee you won't eat it all in one sitting but you will be full...a few things they need to change would be #1) Every combo should come with a pop included. #2)Stop charging a dollar for noodles #3)If you don't want sauce on your deep fried chicken combo that should be the customers choice cause if it wasn't for us customers you wouldn't be as successful as you are but keep up the great work and keep making the best chinease food in barrie.
Chef chan has been my go to Chinese food restaurant in Barrie for the last 5 years. Always consistent, great service, and amazing food. I highly recommend them if you’re in the area!
Normally you get either quality food or a large amount of food. You don't get both. With Chef chan you get both and I mean a HUGE serving ... the food is quality. You can tell everything is cooked separately which is not always the case with Chinese Food. Vegetables were crispy noodles done perfectly, shrimp was good. This is now our go to place for Chinese...we have been looking since our normal place closed down 6 month ago and couldn't find anywhere that was even reasonably good. Chef chan is even better than our old Chinese food restaurant go to...They told us up to 1hour n 15 minutes and the food was on our table 40 minutes later. Pleasant ordering and delivery expereince i have nothing critical to say here. ..I 100% recommend this place
Absolutely love there terriki mushrooms .. and there other dishes are amazing to. Best Chinese food in town. Long time customer .
Placed an order last week. For fried rice and spring rolls. The food was very bad quality and wasn t worth the money. As others have stated it made me very sick. The owner told us when we bought our food that she will give us a can of pop and spring rolls if we place rate their restaurant 5 stars on google. Some members of my family did the same and hours later ended up with food poisoning.
Rude, abrasive woman takes my order. I am never going back here again.
Another great meal from Chef Chan. Love general Tao chicken Thank you very much.
Without question the best Chinese food I ve had in Barrie. Large portions, great food and for how much you get fair price.
Cheers
Good food. Reasonable price.
Great food, good portions reasonably priced too.
Best in Barrie.
Best sesame chicken in Simcoe, fast and cheap while still tasting amazing
Amazing food and service Sue is especially awesome Food : 5/5
Amazing food!
Foods are delicious and staffs are nice.
Always cooked fresh maybe 10min wait for combo plate. Always friendly.
Fast service came in for lunch special everything tasted fresh and was made quickly
The most tasteless, questionable food I ve ever eaten. We binned 95% of it.
The best Chinese food. I drive an hour to get it.
The food is delicious and good price!!
The best Chinese restaurant in Barrie. The food and service are spectacular!
Great food.
Awesome place
amazing, friendly service!! The food is amazing! Highly recommend!!!
My first time trying chen s and I was pleasantly surprised. I haven t been able to find a good Chinese place in Barrie but Chens is amazing. I had the dinner combo and for around $11 there was some real weight to the portion size. I was very pleased that they use the big chicken balls (not the tiny little gross ones) & the rice was good and not dry like most places. I also tried the szecheun chicken which had a really nice flavour, chicken was moist and the spice to it was excellent. I will for sure go back and recommend to others.
Always amazing always fresh never been disappointed once and the portions are hugh.
Worst food I have ever tasted dont waste your money no taste over priced
Not a quick in and out but food was good nevertheless
Been going there over 20 years, best Chinese food in Barrie hands down.
Food was delicious!
Ordered the dinner special for $9.95 paid the delivery fee of six dollars and I tip the driver five dollars . I had chicken, fried rice, sweet-and-sour, chicken balls, and an egg roll. The fried rice I received was the darkest colour of rice and chunks of chicken thrown in with no taste at all, I did not receive an eggroll, but one spring roll which I did not eat. The chicken ball coating was so hard the fork would not go into it. I was not impressed with the meal at all.
First-time customer tried diner special General Tsos Chicken. Great and generous portion size, the takeout box was heavy. Didnt like food too much, but they really tried,with great customer service and generous portion.
The absolute best General Tsao chicken. Ever! The front of house staff was friendly and welcoming.
We recently moved here and this is by far the best Chinese food we tried in Barrie!
Very good food made with fresh ingredients. Their combination platters only come with 1 item and rice, which is hardly a combination, Id say.
Called in to order the lunch special, one for myself and one for my wife she wanted the sweet-and-sour chicken balls with NO sweet and sour sauce (Wife is a diabetic) order put in with David, got home and the sauce was all over her dinner! Called and they expected me to come back (in Holly area) she ate what she could and of that it was fantastic food, just wish David would listen and do as the customer asked! , we will try again as long as its not David taking our order Update , was back the other day, and it was what we wanted and tasted great
Got the Chicken chop Suey lunch special. Fresh and amazing taste for a very reasonable price. The staff are helpful & friendly. I will try Cantonese Chow Mein next. Parking: Lots of parking spots.
I always bought Chef Chan best chines ive had i now live 2 hr drive away but when ever i go to town i get my order. They have real good lots of chicken chicken balls. I tried some 2 times in lindsay from supposed to be best place. Hit and miss I so am craving chef chan cant wait to go to town see you soon. Well i have gone and done it now Now i live way way up north Will have to go visit family and get some Chef Chan and get extra and put into my cooler to bring home. If i dont eat it before it gets here
Chef Chan used to be good serving all fresh made but now are using disgusting frozen product and overcharging for it. They are no longer willing to serve the food they used to. Their bottom line is more important than satisfying customers.
The lack of flavour perhaps serves the geography and demographics but its a shame locals taste could not have been educated/elevated.
Worst dinner ever. Dry chicken, rice under cooked, We will not be ordering again. What happened to this place?
Always amazing food and service
Normally the food taste so yummy but this time it tasted over cooked, greasy and rushed.
Please explain what lemon chicken is? Is it lemon sauce and deep fried massive pieces of chicken. NO ITS FRESH CHICKEN IN A LEMON SAUCE TOGETHER. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT. YOU SELL. DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE
Best Chinese in Barrie. Great portions
Great food and large portions. Our number 1 place now. Parking: In in a small mall with lots of parking in front. Kid-friendliness: Didnt see any kids but very friendly staff.
We just devoured a Chef Chan Chinese food feast for thanksgiving dinner. What a treat it was. Everyone in the family loved it. I always try to get to Chef Chan when I m visiting Barrie. It s the best!!
Worst food ever (gross). I would never order there again.
Friendly service with amazing food, with an overwhelming portion size. I highly recommend Chef Chan. A+ in my books! Food : 5/5
Great friendly service and generous servings.
Very disappointing food quality as I had heard good things about Chef Chan from colleagues. I ordered a Cantonese Chow Mein and the noodles were just boiled egg noodles. Where s the fried crispy noodles? Getting the crispy noodles right is the hardest part of making Cantonese Chow Mein and Chef Chan didn t even try! The flavour was also off as the sauce does not taste like that for Cantonese Chow Mein. The chicken fried rice and sesame chicken were decent. But making decent fried rice is the least you can expect from a Chinese food place.
Great food, huge quantities, fast delivery.
Fantastic food from here. Large portions.
The only Chinese food i will buy..and i live south of Orillia..so its a 35 minute drive for me to pick up. My parents lived in Stroud for over 20 years and once a month we would do this as dinner..never disappointed-great taste and the quantities were unreal..a dinner for 4 could easily feed 6 or 7 people.. I know its under new owners in the last cple of years..but ive still found the taste,quantity and quality to be on par with the previous owners.. The dinner for four #B is the best deal..the shrimp and chicken balls arent soaked in greasy batter where you only get batter..the beef and chickn dishes are loaded with both and fresh veggies.. I love the fact that i can freezer bag what i dont use and reheat later and its just as good.. My parents are no longer living there but i still drop by every 3-4 months and get my fix.. Keep up the good work..to me its worth the drive to get what ive always liked..and ill keep doing so
The pictures are fake. I dont know how this is rated so high. People must not know what quality food is.
Weve ordered from Chef Chan regularly since we moved to Barrie 5 years ago. The food is plentiful and great and the nicest people to deal with! Cant lose here!
Hi, this is not what I remember. Its been a couple years and definitely this is not the original Chef Chan recipe. Very disappointed in quality of food, our leftovers definitely going into the green bin. Your spring rolls are not traditional! How can Chinese Chef Chan make them so unsavoury, so radically different than every other Chinese takeout in Barrie! Sorry you guys have got to do a better job than this! Maybe its better to put up with the hassle of Mandarin managements arrogance than to accept the mediocrity of Chef Chans take out Chinese food.
One of our favourite goto Chinese restaurants. The mushroom Egg Foo Yung is excellent and the Shanghai noodles are my favourite. My wife loves their egg rolls and the kids love the chicken chow mein. Id highly recommend.
Always great food and price is good
Ordered trice first time not great but ok . The second time ordered three dishes and eggs rolls. Nothing was good. Wonder when things changed and you dont get plain rice with chicken balls or beef and broccil? Was a conviniant locals but will try a differnet place next time. When I picked it up on Monday the staff were eating and seemed upset I distrub them
Only Chinese food we order. Best in Barrie. We enjoy ordering one of the lunch specials and an order of sweet and sour chicken balls. Does the 2 of us 2 meals each (seniors).
Tried this place for the first time and i was absolutely disappointed. The rice was hard and everything looked very messy. The food was not tasteful and inside did not look clean.
Vegetarian options: Generous portions and more flavorful than any other similar style in town. Parking: Ample Free
Been going here for over 17 years. They must be doing something right. Used to live nearby but Ill still do the drive. Never ever had a bad meal Kid-friendliness: Take out only but they dont mind kids
Their deep fried wontons are the best! We make the extra trip to get our food here when we have that craving
Hands down the best in Barrie!
Great experience definitely the best in barrie this is my new go to spot hands down to the people at chef chan they are awesome and very professional
First time going, really impressed with the quality of all the food in package deal (everything was great and very nicely seasoned, excellent fried rice)
Wow amazing food! Let s start with the pricing it s more then competitive compared to any Asia food in Barrie. The Quality and quantity of food was nothing I ve received in Barrie. We spent $70 and it s going to last us two diners. The delivery was quick and friendly only productive criticism is we didn t receive a menu with our food we will be order again!
Definitely wont be going back My girlfriend and I both threw it out after a eating not even half of our combo plates. . Nice staff though Food
Omg!!! All of our food (as it always is) is amazing!!! We asked for the General Tsos to be extra saucy and extra spicy, and it did not disappoint! You are amazing!!!
Best Chinese in Barrie!! What more can I say??!!
Best Chinese food in Barrie!!!
We knew Chef Chan, like many take out services, would be busy on New Years Eve. We phoned Chef Chan the evening before New Years Eve Day to place our order. We had a significant order of food amounting to over $100.00 of our family New Years Eve Dinner. Chef Chan was extremely busy, being as well known and loved in Barrie as they are, so we were not surprised that on such a busy day they were already booked with pre-orders from 4 PM to 7 PM. Nonetheless, we placed our order for as close to 7 as possible. They originally felt it would be 7:15 PM but promised a 7 PM pick up time. We drove to Chef Chan for 6:50 PM, went in and paid for the food, which is not required ahead of time, but we felt would speed things up. They staff were VERY calm and VERY polite and professional. One on the workers told me they were now working on our order (6:55 PM). I had envisions of having to wait, maybe an additional 15 minutes, but at exactly 7:02 PM a lady came out to the lobby and handed me the bags of food. RIGHT ON TIME!! Once we drove home and opened the containers we were surprised at the quantity of food. And when we started eating, we ALL agreed, this was the freshest, tastiest Chinese food weve had from any Chinese Restaurant in Barrie. Even the broccoli in a couple vegetable dishes was perfectly cooked and really fresh looking and tasting. Chef Chan has been a long time favourite of local Barrie businesses and we have no hesitation at all recommending them. Weve tried many but all long as Chef Chan remain as consistent as they are known to be, they will be our Chinese Restaurant of choice. Well done!
Amazing general Man
Chef Chan is hands down the best Chinese food! There vegetable fried rice is amazing but it needs more celery and mushrooms.
Picked up food it was ok. However when I asked for hotsauce packets they gave me 5-6 I asked for more because everyone uses the hotsauce they said it would be an extra charge... Spent $70+ on food and they hassled me over wanting another few packets of hotsauce...
Great portions and very tasty. The Staff was very friendly too. Definitely recommend this place..
This place was 100 out of 10. The food was great!!!!! the service was even better. Highly recommend if your in barrie Ontario.
Excellent Service. Fast Friendly. I asked for lots of soya sauce with my order. we ordered for 3 people and the lady there gave me exactly what i requested and didnt charge extra for taking extra sauce. Other places charge you. when the food was ready on time they called to see how far we were. I highly recommend this place and the food was amazing. When in Barrie will go back for sure
Best in barrie and area. Only thing I dislike is the size of the green peppers in the szechuan beef if they quarterd the pieces in the dish it would make it more edible. Great quality and quantity been going here for 10 or more years always delicious!
We have been enjoying Chef Chan for more than 10 years, food was amazing tonight. The lemon chicken and Singapore noodles are the best! Thanks.
Food was great!! They even called to confirm if I wanted onions on another dish because I asked for no onions on something else. I would deffenently come here again!
We have been ordering from Chef Chan for years. Excellent customer service, the food is always delicious and generous portions. The delivery is very prompt.
Always great
Wow, the food was awesome we ordered 4 dishes to try them , all was tasty, my favorite was the house ginger beef, definitely go back for more
Chicken tasted horrible, too much breading and no seasoning
Something happened to the quality of the food. It used to be pretty good but my shrimp curry had giant chunks of lazily chopped vegetables (like 1/4 of a green pepper in size) and my girlfriends spring rolls were 80% celery. It made us wonder if the line chef was new or disgruntled
1been going to chef chan for many years. Never disappointed. Prices reasonable and quick service too. No complaints yet.
Best in Barrie.
Good portions and good prices.
Great food
Great food, extremely hot after delivery. The only place Ill order from now!
Best Chinese take out in town. Very consistent for the last 15 plus years!
Best Chinese in Barrie
Excellent food best in a long time
Good quality and quality but little pricey
Very good food always fresh
The menu has lots of options, and the lunch and dinner combos prices are great and offer good choices. Food is always fresh and the kitchen is very clean.
Honestly the BEST Chinese food I have ever had. I am very picky when it comes to chinese food but this will be the place I only go to from now on, AMAZING !
Great Value & Generous Portions
Best food ever! Great staff. Hot sour soup is awesome and so are the Shanghai noodles.
Best Chinese food in barrie and friendly staff. Fair pricing.
Chef Chan, very popular in the neighborhood, generous portions, take out is always piping hot when I get it home, always check your order before you take it, they are very busy, sometimes they might miss giving you a pop or two. But, the food is always delicious
Awesome Chinese food, big portions. Highly recommended
I have been eating there for over 20 years the food is usually excellent. I am not too sure the food is not good this time but I did not get what I ordered I ordered Szechuan beef I received Szechuan chicken not very happy I also ordered the beef teriyaki and I got beef and broccoli. I bought this on September 14th and I was pick up 39 Suling served me. That is the first time that this is ever happened very disappointed I know people make mistakes but I guess I should have looked at it before I left
Best Chinese in Barrie.
Do not order the spring rolls, they are large but filled only with celery and cabbage. Horrific, the rest was good but not as good as some other large chain in Barrie.
so happy to see this place very very busy today. it means you are doing something right. the food is always fantastic and even tho today there was a 2 hour wait for delivery, i still got my pickup order quick. i will always continue to support your business aslong as you continue to cook delicious fresh food. Marco.
Wonderful hot delivery last nite b on the menu thanks it was great and the 1st treat in a v er y long time
Spent about 60 dollars between 3 of us and none of us actually enjoyed the food.. usually pretty good and have been a frequent customer but last nights food was terrible. All of us didnt enjoy our meals except for the wonton...
New ownership of Ling and Staff. Great food fast hot service as usual. If you want good food nice portions sent hot. Give them a call. We have been ordering food here for 15 yrs. Best place in all of Barrie. Thanks 365 Leacock Dr..
Been enjoying this place for a long long time. Originals in this end of town. We do have a lot of choices but I find Chef Chan to be the best I like to take advantage of the family for 4 deal Monday/Thursday. Huge portion for a great price really helps me feed the family. I appreciate the fact that everything has its own taste or cooked on its own. keep it up guys thank you
Love getting lunch here. The dish is packed and the lady at the counter is pleasant.
Best Chinese in Barrie
One of the best Chinese food places in Barrie. Never disappointed!
Always a great meal one of the best
I like the chicken balls and the baby liked the red sauce It is gooooooood
Great food excellent service
Very good food and very quickly ready. Call from home and leave right away its always ready for pickup. Havent had any issues so far with the food or service.
Good food fast service
Pretty good fast Chinese food. I like the noodles and beef broccoli. They are very fast and lunch is ready in 10 minutes. Good pricing. I eat here all the time. Call them.on my way and it is ready when I arrive. Little salty, but just add some hot sauce lol
Good spot for some lunchtime Chinese takeout. Very nice people!
worst food.Instant diarrhea. Went in there for vegetable fried rice and i could hardly find any vegetables.Just 4-5 pieces of Broccoli doesnt turn fried rice to vegetable fried rice. Rice has no flavor. Very bad experience.
Could be a little cheaper, but the food and the people are great
My favorite Chinese food place in Barrie! I visit a couple times every month!
Best Chinese food in Barrie.
By far the best take out Chinese food in south Barrie. Always tastes great. Been going here for 15 years.
Honestly the best Chinese food in Barrie and surrounding areas! Great prices! Fast delivery! Very nice people! So good!!!
They dont do any substitutions even if you will pay extra. The girl on the phone offered to go ask the boss if she would this time and I overheard her say I know but she told me to go ask. Nope. I didnt. Thanks though.
Good food
Best chinese food in Barrie, general tao or sesame chicken is a go to
Good food. Nice portions given with the individual meals which includes a drink.
Service was good, food not so. Noodles over cooked and stuck together in our low mein, won tons over cooked in the soup. Flavor not the best. Ordered chow mein and received low mein
Best chinese food in Barrie.
The food is very good
First time trying this place. The people and service are amazing, the food not so much. I do not recommend the spring rolls at all and my lo mein was not flavorful and a little sticky. Was so disappointed because I heard good things about this place.
Amazing Chinese food..This is one of the best places I have eaten Chinese food.. Their food is so fresh and delicious.
The best Chinese restaurant in Barrie
Excellent food, affordable, excellent portions
Stay away. Could be the lowest quality Chinese food I have ever had. Rice was flavourless, sesame chicken was not good and ribs were super fatty and tasteless. Save your money, eat at home.
Didnt like the food but it was cheap
Have been ordering from here for nearly 20 years. Consistency of food is always the same. Love all of the choices.
Great food, good portions, and sends it hot. I have been a customer for quite some time. GREAT JOB CHEF CHAN.. FROM (ASJ SERVICES). 365 LEACOCK DR BARRIE
The food was hot and super fast. Taste was good, just wish they would cut back on the salt in their egg rolls. Other than that its better than everywhere else in town.
Great food, good portions, and sends it hot.
Cheap and cheerful Chinese food. The servings are generous. Not the most flavourful but it wasnt greasy and the veggies were fresh enough. Never been in. I ordered delivery. It was fast and affordable.
Best Chinese food in Barrie! Never disappointed!
Food is good fast food
Did chef chan get new owners? the food on Aug 25/18 was old tasting, not good at all. I eat here all the time for chinese but Im going to shop around.
Fast and good food
Great place
The only Chinese food place Ill eat
Top quality and huge portions! Thanks again Chef Chan
Great quality for a great price! Takeout is very quick, too. Ive rarely had to wait more than 10-15min for an order.
Just passes for Chinese Mall Food. The house fry rice was OK though smoky, the shrimp and mixed veg was flavorless... Szechuan Chicken was the only thing with some flavor to it though it wasnt spicy in any way making it more chicken with mixed veg. At least there was bokchoy and snow peas???
Food is amazing here!!
I would like to thank Chef Chan and staff for their excellent service we received last night. It was a great experience starting from the beginning when a friendly and polite young lady took our order to the time it was delivered. We placed our order at 7:56 pm and the food arrived at 8:17 pm, steaming hot and delicious. Wow, what service. I highly recommend this restaurant. Debbie K
I got this for a family meal and my hole family just had a bit of the food from each thing and we soon found out it was making us very sick.I never tasted anything this bad in my life!!! Please DO NOT GO THERE!! My family was unfed and had a nauseous feeling. For you own good dont go there. Also it didnt even tast like real food. Only go there if you want a unfed belly and a nauseous felling dont go there for your own sake!! I hope this helped you.
Consistently great food and consistently great service.
Although service was great, the food wasnt. Not what we expected at all. The fried rice tasted like a heavy cigarrette smoker made it as it tasted like cigarette smoke. The sweet and sour ribs were full of cartiladge and hardly had any actual meat. Although the spring rolls - hardly had any cigarette smoke. My boyfriend and I are sick to our stomachs now from this poor quality of food. Wouldnt recommend this place, thats for sure.
we always have had great food there and quick service they are our go to for chinese food.
Best Chinese in barrie.
There was still poop veins in our deep fried shrimp.. Not impressed.
Great Chinese food! Best in Barrie.
One of the best Chinese restaurants in town. Good price for the quality.
Very delicious and affordable Chinese food in barrie!!!
Best Chinese in Barrie, you gotta have their chicken balls.
chicken fried rice was burnt badly, spring rolls were very oily, egg rolls were not good at all and everything else had a bit of a bland taste to it (in a bad way). only good thing was the free delivery but I dont think we will ever order from them again.
