Chef Jan Kitchen

Hands down the best Chinese food I've had on Staten Island. The accolades ring true.

I live in China but had heard about Chef Jan and his numerous international culinary gold medals. The food was as authentic as anything in China. The Mongolian beef was so tender that it literally fell off the bone. The sweet and sour fish was fantastic. The food was so good that it rates a pilgrimage from Manhattan to this outpost of genuine Chinese gourmet cuisine at reasonable prices, a combination impossible to match in the metro New York area!

Great food. Excellent service. Spare ribs are off the chart!!!!

I had read a recent Daily News article that the Chef Jan Kitchen recently opened in Grant City. After reading the Daily News' positive review about this restaurant, I was excited to try this cuisine which is Mandarin, Szechuan, and Hunan Chinese food supervised by one of Taiwan's top chefs -- Chef Jan who won 14 gold medals in international culinary competitions. On Sunday, I had the pleasure of sampling some amazing Chinese cuisine. Even though the restaurant was very busy, the staff went out of their way to give us great customer service. Our server, Apple, recommended that we try both the shredded pork in garlic sauce and the jumbo shrimp in garlic sauce dishes for dinner. Each dish was different and special. Chef Jan prepared both dishes with a high level of skill, expertise, and experience. These dishes were aesthetically pleasing to the eye as well as tasteful to the palate. Both dishes had layers upon layers of delicious flavors. In the last week, I have been to this restaurant not once, not twice, but three times because the food is so so good. I am encouraged that they do not use any MSG at all in the dishes we had. I just want to be clear that every ingredient that Chef Jan used to prepare my dish was the best quality and very fresh. Chef Jan's shrimps were the very best I ever eaten. Our bartender for the evening was Tony who is a master at making cocktails that I would highly recommend. For dessert, we had an incredible fried banana that was out of this world. The owners, Alison and Chef Jan himself, visited our table and asked how our dinner was. I explained to them that this was the best Chinese food experience that I ever had on Staten Island. Alison and Chef Jan were very nice and extremely respectful and made us feel at home. They and their staff are wonderful people. The staff of Chef Jan Kitchen are very hardworking people and friendly. And if you want an extraordinary meal prepared by a master chef, then come to Chef Jan Kitchen. I give this restaurant the highest possible rating.

Last night, my boyfriend and I went to dinner at Chef Jan Kitchen restaurant on 102 Lincoln Avenue in Grant City, Staten Island. The pan fried pork pot stickers (dumplings) had an authentic Chinatown-style quality, and were also very tasty and home-made. We then ordered the New Zealand Lamb Chops accompanied by the sauteed spinach --- this entree was out of this world and very delicious. We also ordered the Mongolian Triple Feast with shrimp, chicken, beef, and vegetables in a great sauce. The shrimps on the Mongolian Triple Feast dish were top notch. The beef and chicken were outstanding along with the vegetables. The Mongolian Triple Feast had an amazing sweet and spicy sauce that only a Master Chef could provide. We had an outstanding dining experience at the Chef Jan Kitchen. At the end of the meal, we had a fried banana dessert which was both unique and delicious with a sweet outer crust with the fruit being hot inside. I highly recommend the Chef Jan Kitchen restaurant to anyone seeking a high quality Chinese food restaurant experience.
