Yum yum yum! My soon to be husband brought me here and promised I’d be eating and meeting the best ever! And. I. DID!! This is worth the bloating, because oh wow this place is amazing! This place is the reason why I will now be fully trusting my Kenny (my soon to be hubby) whenever he recommends a place. I’ll be recommending this place to everyone I know, because this is where the best egg rolls and best soup ever (Corn Seafood Soup) ladies and gents!!! Everybody was lovely, lot of hardworking people, but need to make sure energy is in check I will say! Make sure that people at the front (Also all workers in general) are always welcoming and upbeat to customers, don’t know the little gentleman working up at the register’s name, he had curly hair i believe, but he is the reason why I say this! Maybe he is just an awkward teen, but my #1 tip is to always speak louder and show off cheerfulness. But no worries at all, I remember being a tired teen at work (But customers really do feed off your energy.. Wish I knew that when I was younger) Overall, service was FANTASTIC!! Food was fantastic! THE PLACE LOOKS FANTASTIC!!!! 10/10 P.S. not saying him or anyone else was rude NOR am i saying anyone needs to get a talking, they’re all lovely people!

stopped by for a quick lunch on a whim. got veggie gyoza and pork gyoza, both crispy and flavorful. vegetable roll was fresh, well presented, and plump. got edamame, also super fresh and perfectly cooked. great variety of food , with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. hot tea was so yummy as well! restaurant has nice decorations and atmosphere, dining area and restrooms were clean, and service was fast and friendly. would definitely return!
The food was great, the staff was nice and attentive, the place was very clean, and the atmosphere was warm! I'd highly recommend going here to anyone looking for a nice dinner! Their menu is huge—you can order anything from traditional Chinese dishes to sushi! I'd recommend trying their spring rolls; they were very good!

Have lived in the area for 20 years and sadly just found this place recently. When you walk in and see enjoying their Food with their own BYOB you just know it might be special and it was .. and their Atmosphere is just very nice . But when we got home with our take out, and tried the Triple Delight, and Vegetable Fried Rice. ( a very simple first order) It was absolutely the most Delicious Chinese we have ever had in this Area. I can not wait to go back and try other Items on their Menu as they also have Sushi, and Thai on the Menu along with traditional Chinese . So glad I found this place.
We had dinner at Chen's for the first time, this weekend, and it was SUPERB!!! The food, service and atmosphere exceeded our expectations. We will be back. Highly recommend.
Went for dinner here, tried the Triple Delight in garlic sauce with no spice. Loaded with hot pepper when I got my order. They offered to change it, but decided not too. Hubby enjoyed it. Otherwise place was good
food is delicious, reasonable prices and many kind workers! though i did have one issue.. i don’t know the guys name as i didn’t see any name tags, but he looks hispanic with curly hair, working up at the front, he seemed to have an attitude. not welcoming and not polite, he’s someone who you’d not want to work at customer service… maybe he was having a bad day or he’s just shy! but he should learn to be less awkward and to be more welcoming. besides that, everything was spectacular.
