Wow ... f'n nightmare I knocked my egg rolls off counter. I call the busboy over to tell him and he proceeds to step on one of them. He then calls my waiter over and shows him. The waiter picked up my egg rolls and he passes the trashcan two feet away, walks back to the fry cook who I can plainly see over the counter, says something in Chinese, then hands him the egg rolls and the cook threw them back into the fryer!!!!! I WENT BERSERK! Filthy scumbags! I've eaten there a million times over the years. NEVER AGAIN! Avoid this place like the plague. Not only was he going to try to serve me stepped on egg rolls, but he also contaminated the entire batch of fry oil. If they pull this shit in plain view... whats going on in the back kitchen????? I called the Venetian Management, and Venetian Food and Beverage Manager and they were both appalled.

The margaritas are very good although presentation could be better. We shared the tuna nachos as an appetizer and it was very good. I had the new mexican spiced rubbed pork tenderloin and highly recommend it, extremely rich and flavorful! My girlfriend had the roasted "hacked" chicken and it was also excellent. As a side we both recommend the roasted corn with grilled cactus, lime and cotija, it stole the show! In my opinion the greatest side dishes ever!! Phenomenal food Bobby! I will be eating here again!

The Cal Italia pizza was absolutely amazing. The recommendations from our server were great and we enjoyed the experience immensely. We found the restaurant on a map published by Mapperarti and we were intrigued by the pizza world champion who created the unique pizzas on the menu.

After reading all the reviews here about C-Fu Gourmet being the best place for dim sum in the valley, I am really disappointed to be writing my first 1 star review for the area Was the service rude and uncaring? The answer here is yes. Especially the way that push-cart servers call out the food which make you feel like you're in a rowdy tourist market full of cheap knock-offs they're trying to get rid of. But all would have been forgiven if only the dim-sum being served was any good. However the dishes we ordered reflected a sloppy kitchen that was focused solely on putting in minimal effort and taking every possible shortcut on the food. Dishes that made me ashamed to be Chinese (yes, the level that C-Fu dimsum brought it down to was that bad): - Fried glutinous rice: The preserved meat that was supposed to flavor the dish was MIA. We complained to one of the waiters who replied that "they probably forgot" (um are you sure it's not cost cutting for those who don't know any better?). More over, the proper way to cook this classic dish would be like risotto where you're constantly stirring and gradually adding water just a little bit at a time (except of course everything is being done in a wok)...Here the C-Fu kitchen obviously just shoved the whole thing into an electric rice-cooker and try to stir fry the huge sticky mess at the end by adding in gallons of oil. - Glutinous rice with chicken steamed in lotus leaf: Once again that electric rice cooker in the back of the kitchen must be working real hard cause the dish lacked the aroma that it would have had if it had actually been steamed in lotus leaf. Just tasted of sloppy topping of minced chicken and last minute wrapping in the lotus leaf. Dishes I was amazed by (and no not in a good way): - Deep fried taro dumpling: Have never quite had it in that simplistic way before where the filling literally was just mashed taro held together by a prodigious amount of oil - Steamed bok choy: How the heck do you get oil into steamed vegetable? C-Fu managed to accomplish this amazing feat of greasy steamed vegetable...unbelievable On a good note, the Siu Mai was decent. We did keep on ordering more dishes hopping that something good would pop up...but nope that was it,...so if you must go to C-Fu for dim-sum...just order order a lot of siu mai and be careful of all the other dishes. Dinner here was much better. 1 star is for dim-sum only. Next time I have a dim-sum craving, you'll be finding me across the valley at China Chan's (Glendale) where the short & sweet dimsum offering is cooked by a man who doesn't cut corners and it shows. That's where I'll be sticking to from now on.
