The poached chicken is what chinese food should be, real food cooked without needing to be submerged in a puddle of sugary, salty ooze to taste good. It comes with ginger sauce, which was fresh and full of flavor. The roast pork is even better, sweet and tender like boneless ribs minus the excess oils and additives.

I really enjoy eating the food at Chef Lau’s. I usually order the salt and pepper squid, but I wanted to shake things up today so I elected to order the chicken and broccoli combination! What a surprise, the chicken was well seasoned, the broccoli was fresh, crunchy but not raw, and the fried rice tasted so real, not the usual stuff you get from a Chinese restaurant, but a lightly seasoned, not too salty, very deliciously prepared fried rice with carrots, peas and eggs. Everything was freshly stir fried and you can taste the difference and the light flame touched flavor. I will definitely be back!

I’ve lived near this place for a while, but only just took the time to try it out. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. Great prices and great food, totally recommend!

Food was excellent. I bought To-Go. Beef with peppers, beef fried rice, spring rolls and wonton soup; all delicious. The place is really small; one table with 4 chairs only.

Loved Chef Lau, the general Tso chicken is really good and their vegetable fried rice is amazing. They don’t make it brimming with soy so it looks pale, but the taste is on point. Yummy.

I’m surprised I’m reading “awesome” reviews, my experience was different here. I don’t usually write reviews. My usual Chinese place was closed so I decided to stop here. For a tiny place with only a few seats, I was surprised to see that their lunch prices were a lot more PRICEY than usual Chinese restaurants in the Amherst area. So I ordered their ‘Shrimp fried rice” (to go) and the moment I opened it, it looked like WHITE rice with shrimp and egg mixed in. It tasted STICKY and it was def NOT FRIED. Maybe since I’m a new customer, they thought I wouldn’t notice the difference between fried rice & regular white rice? But I have never seen ‘shrimp fried rice’ like this and it was very obvious they used already cooked, regular white rice and just added a few small shrimps and a lit egg to it! Also It had no seasoning or flavor, I only tasted egg. They were skimpy with the condiments too, giving me 1 soy sauce packet, unfortunately the rice needed more to help with the sticky none flavor taste! I had to put the rice in a pan and FRY it myself at home, I added flavor and it tasted better ….Is this what I paid extra for, to cook the food myself? I Didn’t return it because I didn’t open my food until I got home…I feel duped though! Waste of money…

I have just moved to the area and I like spicy food, I went to the restaurant and asked them to make it a little hot for me and they made really good tasting food for me. I don’t like the sweet taste in American Chinese cuisine and They just got it right it is amazing just tell them how you want it and they will make it fresh for you. Best Chinese food I have had in Massachusetts
