Chef Liu Chinese Restaurant - Chinese restaurant in Scotts Valley - 4303 1/2, Scotts Valley Dr, USA

Construction contractor working on a project at my house had me go to lunch with him and a worker. They regularly dine here. Extensive lunch menu has reasonable pricing and wide variety. Service was fast, and our meals were great. Large servings. Contractor likes the place also because it has a roomy parking lot with two driveways. He always has large vehicles, often with trailers, and it's easy to park and drive through.

It's a very plain classic Chinese restaurant ambiance but it's far from average. Shockingly good fried rice (we got pork fried rice). Skip the chow mein, I've tried it twice and both times it was bland and a little overcooked. They are experts at cooking broccoli; we've tried both the beef as well as the chicken and broccoli. Their spring rolls are also bomb, made perfectly, nice and crispy and you can tell they aren't using rancid oil like some places. For the fried rice alone I will not go to any other place in the Scott's Valley/Felton area. Nice owners too! Def try this place.

best chinese food in america. period. try their beef broccoli. melts in your mouth and seriously the best ive ever had. also love their egg foo young

My Family & I were visiting Santa Cruz & we ran into this Chinese Restaurant, we decided to stop in & check it out, There was trash everywhere outside, dead grass & Big bins of trash right next to parking area, very bad odors from all the trash. We gave them the benefit of the doubt, went inside & there was 10 of us & the waiter seemed annoyed by our Big Group. The Waiter never smiled & we just asked for water & we discussed if we should stay & try it out or go somewhere else, we got our waters & most of them had something floating in them, We all got disgusted & we got up & left, Waiters Remark was " Are you all Serious" with a very unfriendly look on His face . Definitely Don't Recommend

The food was ok and the lunch special was well priced. On the down side it was a little run down looking but it's there if you need some Chinese food and it's still better than Panda Express.

Just had the hot/sour soup but it was superb…ready to go back to sample the menu!

Easily my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area (and personally of all time). What seems to be a family run business, the staff are super friendly and attentive. Lunch specials are a great value for the price — soup of the day + entree, rice, and egg roll. The lunch menu is big enough to have plenty of choices and the lunch timeframe is quite large, so you don’t have to be afraid of missing out. Best hot&sour soup too! Many thanks to the great crew who know me very well at this point!

I used to like this restaurant but quality has clearly gone downhill. I ordered cashew chicken, and the chicken still had the skin on, which didn’t happen. The other day, the beef in my beef with mushroom was also much more greasy than before. Both dishes were hard to digest. As positive, service is always friendly. Bottom line, please don’t save on the quality of your product.
