The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The staff was welcoming. Our needs were met and our beverage refills will replenishes promptly. The food arrived hot and freshly made to our table. The food had great flavor with the portion sizes providing great value for amount paid. In definitely stopping here again when I’m in the area.

Stopped on a whim for a family dinner on a Friday evening. The food was great with dishes that were well-priced and generous. Good beer selection and the service was prompt & friendly.

When we came here the place was pretty empty inside. I was wondering why but now I know why. First, there were communication problems with our server, we cannot really understand him and it was so difficult to order when we cannot understand what he was trying to say when we asked him some questions about the menu so we decided not to ask anymore. We were also surprised as to how fast our food came. Maybe because there were no other customers or maybe it was old food. The crispy szechuan beef was supposed to be spicy but it wasn’t and it tasted old. Everything we ordered was a disappointment. The food we ordered were really NOT delicious. We barely ate anything and had to take it home but ended up in the trash. Waste of money. Definitely we will not come back. Ever!

Appealing atmosphere and we got our food very quickly. Portions are definitely enough for more than one meal and you will have leftovers! Taste was phenomenal and the ingredients tasted fresh as well. Would recommend the crispy honey chicken with fried rice!

Food is not the same quality!!! I got really sick after eating it. There is only one waitress for the whole restaurant. She was handing 10 tables. Food came out quickly but when we asked for the little things like a spoon and sugar for the tea it took 20 minutes to get it. The were plenty of people who could have helped her do something at least. The was one guy who we assumed was the owner walking around talking to some customers. But he did not help her out at all.

Just had dinner from Chen’s, which was once a really good place. Wonton soup – layer of oil on top, soggy overcooked noodles, gristly, fatty, old-tasting filing. Eggrolls – soggy, greasy, 90% cabbage, overcooked. One teeny packet of Sweet sauce which was watery. I don’t understand the poor quality of food in so many McH County eateries. It’s embarrassing.

Worst Chinese food ever!!! I ordered the Shrimp with lobster sauce, and I know what it is supposed to taste like. This was not Shrimp with Lobster sauce. This food is terrible. The egg roll was soaked in oil and was soggy. The shrimp tasted like they were super old, I hope I don’t get sick. The rice tasted stale, and I know you make fried rice from day old rice, but this was more like a month old rice. Never ever again will I eat at this location. Waste of my money.

They have the best king roll, generals Taos chicken, and hot and sour soup! I’m from New York and I know what I’m talking about when it comes to Chinese food.

Food is spot on. Doesn’t have that weird old taste, or dirty pan taste you get in some Chinese restuarants. Very fresh, each entree tasted completely different with it’s own flavors, as it should! My new Chinese joint
