This is a great place for an early Sunday dinner after shopping in the T J Maxx or going to the movies. Their rice is delicious. Try the brown rice and their wont ton soup.

Being Chinese and after having lived in SF for many years, this is the best Chinese food in Moraga. Pretty authentic preparations, flavorful and with fresh ingredients. I have eaten at all the other Chinese establishments in town and have come to the conclusion that Chef Chao is far superior than the others.

While I've had some dishes better in other restaurants, the truth is in the end I compare all Chinese food I eat against Chef Chao and few places do a better overall job. Above all the food quality is...
