Always go for the Egg Rolls and ANY of the vegetable dishes. Service is very good, perhaps because I'm a regular :)
WORST taken out ever. PERIOD. This is not even worth to be called Chinese food, I was served slop in a plastic container.I had ordered mandarin noodles, and they gave me a gross mess of boiled chicken, uncooked shrimps with their tails on, and barely any noodles. If there were any, it was mush.The chicken wings were rubbery and tasteless. The soo guy was greasy and horrible. There was this horrible after taste when eating the entire meal.This place should have been closed down years. Save yourself the money and go somewhere else.
I had heard many good things about Chalie Chan Take-out in Orleans ON but had never gone there as it was a bit too far from home. However, we decided to give it a try as we were passing by it going to a friend’s house. Ordered online using their web site and elected to pick it up. Got a dinner for 4 which stated a cost of $46.95. When I got there, the bill came to $78.00. I was told that I used the wrong menu; but I didn't as I used the one that was posted online! The hostess was rude - enough said; except I still had to pay the $78.00. In the end, the tastes of the food were good. I had been told that the egg rolls were the best in Ottawa - they weren't. And the portions - unbelievably small, half the size of any other Chinese Food location we have frequented. Conclusion. Although the taste was OK, the value for your dollar is better spent at any other location in town and you wont have to deal with a nasty person.

We’ve been meaning to go to this place for years. What a DISAPPOINTMENT. Honestly, if I could give it a zero star I would. Expensive, containers half filled with odd tasting food, way over cooked veggies (snow peas were as thin as a piece of paper), ordered 12 egg rolls and got about 1/2 cup of disgusting plum sauce, no fortune cookie, over cooked shrimps…I could go on but I think you get that I am not recommending this place. AT ALL.
Everyone suggested Charlie Chans egg rolls. Highly unimpressed at our entire order.The general Tso was not spicy. The garlic spare ribs were bland. Actually everything we ordered kinda tasted the same. Like it was all freezer burnt & kept in the same containers. I couldn’t finish my food at all.The egg rolls were “open ended” but not filled to the end, kinda half open half closed, and these come NO WHERE close to the flavours of Ruby Inn or Golden Palace.The only thing that got two stars here was the chicken balls. They were ok, but not worth another order from this place. Hopefully our move to Orléans will bring us better egg rolls elsewhere.
Ordered Take out a few times in the past two months and all dishes / items were excellent. Very tasteful, generous, and ready at time of pickup. A little pricey but consistent with other Chinese food restaurants. Would definitely recommend!
Love this place. I used to come here 2-3 times a week when working at the uhaul acrss the street and they never disapointed me. Love the chicken fried rice and the eggs rolls. Will be comeing back 100%.
Went New Years Eve and was given a time to pick up my food. Showed up a minute before the time and was scolded for showing up at the wrong time. Watched the man do this to every person that showed up after as I waited for our food. Got our food and the fried rice wasn’t fresh, food was cold after the short drive home. We have found a new Chinese food spot after 8 years of going to Charlie Chan’s.
Not happy. No one answered the phone when I called ahead so I went direct to the outlet. Pushed button as per instructions. No response. No sign or message mentioning that they were closed that day.
