"Orange chicken is good but if your dasher takes too long to deliver your chicken won't be crispy on the crust. Overall though. good food."
"Overall it wasn't terrible, but just not great. Fried rice is greasy and felt like there was some grittiness. I liked the idea of the carne asada broccoli, but the meat was very tough and seasoning were over powering. Orange chicken and pineapple chicken are very similar and not as good as Panda Express. Jalapeño Rangoons were the bright spot, those were awesome."

"Tried Chef Chen for the first time time and absolutely loved it! I feel like it has been hard finding good Chinese, so I was thankful that this place offers quality Chinese food. I ordered the General Tsao Chicken with Fried Rice, chicken egg rolls, veggie spring rolls, wantons and cheesecake. Everything was amazing, except the chicken egg rolls. Having only one item not satisfactory is pretty good! Portion sizes was good and had leftovers. Decent amount for the price. I would definitely order here again!"

The plain Fried rice side is a little heavy on the soy sauce taste but nothing some of the dipping sauces couldn't fix. "
