Our first time going there with my 2 year old daughter and my nephew. The food came quickly and was nice and hot. Everything was absolutely delicious. The waiter, David, was probably the best waiter I’ve had ever. He was attentive, accommodating and absolutely amazing in every way. He brought my daughter a few “chicken strips” and her own Shirley Temple that we didn’t even order. David was the sweetest. He also made sure we had plenty of drink refills. The food was superb. We’ll be back every few weeks from now on!
Menus
I had compound shrimp and Orange beef and their famous hot and sour soup. There is nothing better when you have a cold than Chester's hot and sour soup. Service was great although there were very few people in the restaurant. Chester's has been around for a long time and although some people like other places better it will always be my favorite for Chinese food.
Great place for lunch. Lunch specials are reasonably priced with good portion sizes.
The best Chinese restaurant in ventura county!Lunch special is a great deal. be sure check them out. Great food! Lunch prices starts at $10-15. Includes rice, egg roll, and soup! Can't beat that! ☺️
Having spent the first 22 years of my life in New York City I had the pleasure of eating at some amazing Chinese restaurants, especially in Chinatown. Wo Hop at 17 Mott St. was a favorite. Since spending the next 50 years of my life in California I have never found a Chinese restaurant to compare with those in NYC. While my parents lived in L.A. we went to several very good Chinese restaurants in L.A. Chinatown and other locations in an around western L.A. but none measured up to the amazingly authentic Chinese food in NYC. B.C. (Before Covid), Chester’s was our favorite- very good but not great. Tasty food, nice portions, nice atmosphere, good value. About 2 months ago Chester’s was not open for in- person dining but since my wife and I were in the area we decided to do a take-out order. We found the food to be lifeless and flavorless, certainly not the same chef as before. Last week we were in Camarillo and decided to give Chester’s another try as they were now serving inside the restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised as the food was just about up to their previous standard. Some restaurants have cut back on extras as they try to recoup money lost during Covid but Chester’s still gives you crispy noodles, tea and a full container of white rice with your food. The chicken lettuce wraps were a bit salty but overall pretty good and a very generous portion. Kung Pow shrimp was requested extra spicy and was it ever! Also a generous portion and lots of shrimp. Honey black pepper chicken had plenty of pepper but not quite enough honey to give it a bit of sweetness- still a really good dish and again a large portion. Lastly, though not on the printed menu I requested one of my favorites, Chow Fun. I asked for a seafood version and they nailed it - the plate was overflowing and it was yummy. We don’t get to Camarillo often as it is a 45 minutes drive and with the price of gas today - well you know. I’m sure next time we are there we will be visiting Chester’s again. It’s not NYC Chinatown but it’s as good as any place I’ve found since I’ve been in California.
This place has my favorite drunken noodles of all time. I'm a meat-eater, but my fiancé is vegetarian, and the tofu drunken noodles might be my new go-to. Rather than stealing his I'll just order my own next time ;)The egg rolls are awesome too!
Would have given them no stars but that's not allowed evidently. They ruined our Christmas dinner! We placed our order at 11am for a 5:30 pick up. Waited in a line of 30+ people for an hour, decided to leave having nothing for dinner as nothing in town was open, ridiculous! Read other reviews of people getting undercooked food and wrong orders. I guess it was just as well we didn't get our food, someone would have definitely gotten sick!
Best Chinese food I had in a long time! Our family stopped by Chester's Asia restaurant on the way to Santa Barbara. We had bbq pork, sautéed vegetables, chicken chow mein, shrimp with walnut, honey pepper beef and orange chicken.Every dish was seasoned to perfection, every ingredients were fresh, sauces were well balanced not overpowering, a sign of true master chef. The staff also provided excellent service making our dining experience even better. What a gem this place is! I strongly recommend this restaurant and would definitely visit again!
Outstanding food every time so far.Been there 4 times. The cream cheese filled wontons are really good. Full of cream cheese. Egg rolls were very light and crispy. Lunch dishes are delicious. Egg drop and hot & sour soups are great. But, I personally don't like the round soup noodles. I prefer crispy ribbon noodles instead.Getting the crispy duck soon.
We had heard about Chester's when my wife saw that it was the number 1 rated Chinese Cuisine in Camarillo and it did not disappoint! The portioning was also much more than we had anticipated. We ended up having some of the beef chow mein and half the Wonton Soup the following day. Nicki the front entrance host and gentle man we spoke to over the phone was five stars in service when I went into their beautifully decorated in-door restaurant to pick up our order.
