The Chinese Chef returns in TimeSplitters 2, though the Chinese Waiter and others who were based around the Chinese restaurant did not. The Chef has no important role within this game, although he has two Arcade League matches in which he is eliminating mass amounts of Calamari and Gingerbread Men at the Chinese restaurant, which he is highly associated with.

Chinese Chef remains as one of the few characters that appear in all of the games. He again has no specific role in the game, however the introduction of Gaston Boucher to the series has created a culinary rival for the character.
Story[]
1970, Chinese Restaurant[]
- Main article: Chinese (Story)
The Chinese Chef appears as a generic enemy at a Chinese Restaurant as part of a criminal gang, trying to prevent Detective Harry Tipper and Lieutenant Christine Malone from seizing incriminating evidence.
Trivia[]
- The blood stains that appear in the level Chinese can also be seen on the Chef's apron.
- Most of his TS1 voice clips (voiced by Karl Hilton) were reused by Hatchet Sal, Lawyer and two male civilians from NeoTokyo. In TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect, he uses different unique voice clips voiced by Ross Tregenza, along with the Aztec Warrior's on-fire scream.
- Cpt. Ash, Harry Tipper, Dr. Peabody, Khallos, Henchman, Chinese Chef, Jo-Beth Casey, Chastity, and Cortez are the only characters in the series to have more than one voice set to themselves.
- In TSFP, his first person hand models are the same as those of Braces (among other characters), which is very bizarre, considering he never wears gloves, his tattoos are one of his most distinguishable features, and his arms are much skinnier.
- In TSFP, he uses Neophyte Lucian's gesture, but Chef's gesture dialogue is a small segment of Elite Henchman's gesture dialogue.
- His internal name is chinesecook.
