Chen's Kitchen

Have eaten here a couple of times and the atmosphere within offers nothing to give you that special dining experience some of us look for. Tried their delivery service tonight and live about 1.5 miles from Chens. After I placed my phone order they said I would receive delivery within 20-30 minutes. Promptly arrived within 22 mins. That was great! The General Tsos chicken was fairly good but the egg roll i ordered was dark and very greasy and looks as though it was fried in some oil that seems like it hasn't been changed out in a very, very long time. That was disappointing. I Will give them another chance to win me over but I would rate them 3 stars over my 3 experiences..

I am continually surprised how good the food is. Veggies are cooked right, sauces are very good.

I used to live in a heavily Asian section of Los Angeles so I was skeptical when I moved to quite literally the middle of nowhere and discovered a Chinese restaurant directly behind my house. My skepticism quickly turned to pleasant surprise however. In fact, they are easily the best Chinese food I've ever eaten. I live in Chicago now and I really miss their PHENOMENAL Crab Rangoon (among other things). I only hope this wonderful mom-and-pop restaurant survives. With food that good, they could easily thrive in a large metropolitan area, but they provide authentic and delicious cuisine at a very affordable price to an area that otherwise lacks ethnic dining options. Two thumbs WAY up!
