This is the only restaurant I can find the Szechuan fish in hot chili oil. The service is great and the food is excellent. I drive over 30 miles to Chandler just for this dish.

Was looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant while we were out and about and definitely found it. Exactly what I look for when testing a new restaurant: small space, busy with locals, and fast! We went about 730 on a Thursday and they were still packed! Service was speedy and quick to the point. Food was really good. Pictured was the orange chicken and the seared pork buns, we also got the juicy pork dumplings. I would get it all again plus some. I can see why they were so busy . We will be back!

Absolutely delicious food. Authentic and tasty. Everyone we have introduced to Chou's have also added it to their list of favorites. I have friends who drive from the West side just to eat here. The staff are super friendly and very efficient. Service is quick. The restaurant is located in a modest strip mall next to a Goodwill store, a VFW, and several small ethnic stores. It may not look that attractive, but as soon as you walk inside you immediately realize that those who know, are loyal fans. It is popular for both dine in and take out. Parking is very easy.

Chou's is our favorite spot, and pretty much the only place we've found in the valley with decent mala flavors so far. I personally love the mapo tofu, the soup dumplings, and the spicy beef noodle soup the best! We've tried most of the menu at this point and are rarely disappointed. We also love the staff there. They're really funny, kind, and welcoming! Chou's is a small restaurant. It feels cozy and makes me think of authentic home cooking. That being said, it's best done family style, so get a group and order together to get tastes of everything!

Firstly: The food is out of this world. They have the best, most flavorful orange chicken with an amazingly crunchy texture. Their fried rice is also to die for. Secondly: the employees are genuinely so sweet and kind to me every single time. There's a lady who's always there and she is so kindhearted and nonjudgemental, and I appreciated how she explained one of the food options to us to ensure we were ordering what we wanted. I wish I had gotten her name because she deserved a glowing review for the multiple time she's served us over the past years. Absolutely amazing place, 10/10. My favorite restaurant ever. Great amount of food!! The food came out really crazy fast too this time which I loved.

Me and my wife went to chew's kitchen it was really good my wife ordered chicken chow mein. I ordered beef with green onion, came with rice and we also got the wonton soup which is really good. Needed a little salt but still good. I recommend this place to anybody. It's a little hole in the wall place which are the best places to eat at
