Loved the food at every turn. Highly Recommend B.M. Chen. Food is fresh not a day old.

My father and i stopped here today after our normal Chinese restaurant was surprisingly closed. What a fortune accident! I was happy to see tofu options on the menu and I ordered the general tofu with veggie fried rice and a spring roll. My father ordered shrimp fried rice with an egg roll and both entrees came with our choice of soup. The staff was polite, and the food was delicious! Probably the best tasting Chinese food I've ever had. It wasn't too greasy or heavy and tasted very fresh. We will definitely be returning and trying the rest of the menu. read more

B.M.Chen Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Best shrimp fried rice nice helping good location fast service great hot (heat hot) and fresh food.

very authentic, delicious, and SPICY beyond what I though chinese takeout could be! Tasted just like the noodles I had in China !

I pickup food three times a month on the average. Has Always been consistently very good and hot, I can't wait until they open up the inside for eating in. read more

Always a good experience, in house made sauces for all dishes. Service is always good, not pushy. Not your typical dishes loaded with sugar or salt, very well balanced and portions are generous. I always find it comforting when in an Asian restaurant the patrons are at least 1/4-1/2 of Asian descent, speaks to either authenticity or emboldened take on classics, which is what they seem to be doing. read more

Best Chinese restaurant in town. Always hot and amazingly tasty. Friendly staff and great prices

I'm going to go ahead and give this place 4 stars even though it might actually warrant 5 stars for what it is. I don't write reviews often because I have a hard time rating places. For what this place is though? It was fantastic. My wife, 1 year old, and I went there last night and we were all more than pleased. First of all it was the only time I've been to a Chinese Restaurant in Toledo where the Asian patrons outnumbered the Caucasian. That's always a good sign. My wife isn't adventurous and ordered the Sweet 'n' Sour. Have to say though it was different and very good. The sauce is more yellow and had a distinct pineapple sweet'n'sour taste to it. Very very good and clearly not the "out of a jar" red sauce you get in so many places. I went to the authentic menu. Got the Hot & Sour soup which was probably the best I've had in Toledo. They obviously make it up fresh to order too, because my wife's wonton soup and egg rolls were all delivered before the soup. The only downside is that you cannot really get just a single serving of the Hot & Sour, probably because they're making it fresh. The menu says the $6 bowl serves 2-3, but I ate probably 3 cups of it at dinner and still had a bowl leftover for today's lunch. Great value and superb flavor. Egg Rolls were solid, obviously hand made. My wife thought not as good as Golden Lily (theirs have shrimp in them), but these were very good. Cabbage, pork, and heavy on the 5 spice. My twice cooked pork (belly) in szechaun sauce was fantastic. Great texture, carmelized onions, a spicy dish that actually came through with the spice (so many places put that pepper next to the dishes and seem to have zero spice). We both got our entrees served with ham fried rice that was quite good. Next time I'd get the white rice with the pork dish though because I think the blander white rice would work better with the salty spicy pork. We will definitely be back to this place. One of the only authentic menus in town, and a unique twist on the American style Chinese dishes. Loved it. read more

I dropped in today for the first time, had the almond chicken. Came with choice of soup, picked the Won Ton, and also an Egg Roll. Very nice staff, food is great and o-so cheap. Clean bathrooms too, will be back. Thank you Yelpers! read more

My second favorite chinese/asian in Toledo. Every dish we've tried has been excellent. This place had bad rep but it was close to my sis' so tried it. Did not disappoint. Folks are very friendly & attentive. Food is very favorable. read more

I am from Wisconsin and I am visiting a friend in Ann Arbor Michigan. We heard this restaurant has authentic Chinese food so here we are. The food was very good. We ordered Chinese vegetable, sweet and sour pork chop, boiled spicy fish, dried potato chicken etc. The food is very good and delicious in good price. The staff is very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely come back next time. read more

B.M.Chen Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

The reason I love road trips is because we get to make food stops at places we probably would never know of otherwise. Finding hidden local gem is always fun. On our recent drive across Ohio, we stopped at B.M. Chen. The food was authentic, delicious and the service was really fast. read more

For the dishes I rotate between, this place has the best in town. The chicken broccoli has delicious, perfectly cooked broccoli and the chicken is always fresh and tender... high quality. Their brown sauce in this dish is incredible. Fried rice is also excellent here. I think the secret may be a little soy and real butter. It tastes like what Flower Drum's used to. Their almond boneless chicken is top notch. I would love to branch out and try more items - their menu is big and features a lot of authentic Chinese selections - but it's hard to stray from my favorites because they are so good. read more

I'll start off by saying that I did not come in expecting much as Toledo does not exactly scream jaw dropping Chinese food. But was pleasantly surprised! The ginger chicken was super legit! Everything else we ordered was also very solid. The owner(?) was also setting up a karaoke machine in the back of the restaurant and there was Chinese music blaring the whole time we were dining, which was pretty fun--reminds me of home. He kindly invited us to give the karaoke machine a try after dinner, but given the fact that half our party was not literate in Chinese/well versed in Chinese songs, we had to kindly pass on the offer. I like them--would gladly come back. read more

I had the general tso's chicken, rice, an egg roll, and the spicy and hot soup! The customer service was great. The portions were huge! The rice however wasn't the white rice I was expecting it is fried rice. The soup is a bit spicy but I love spicy food! I will definitely be back to Chens to try the highly talked about lemon chicken! read more

B.M.Chen Restaurant - General Tsu chicken! - Chinese Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Consistently excellent! Great authentic Chinese in Toledo. This is the place to go if you love delicious food. The staff is always helpful and polite. read more

A friend and I had lunch here yesterday for the first time. She had heard from several people that this restaurant had the best authentic Chinese in the area, and we think they were right! This place is a bit of a hole in the wall. Don't be shooed away by the outside appearance of this place. The inside is small and pleasant and we were greeted right away by a friendly server who showed us to our booth. The servers were very nice. They answered all of our questions about the menu and were quick with drink refills. The food was great-- really great! Very fresh, hot, and huge portions. After seeing many good reviews on yelp about the general t'sos chicken, I ordered that and was quite impressed. My friend had The Chinese-style kung pao chicken. We both eat a lot, but could only finish half of what was served to us! Great good, great portions, we will be back :) read more

My go to Chinese place! Never had bad food from them. I try to order something different each time and have yet to be disappointed.

Duck soo yummy. Staff super friendly. Love it great. We will be back. Thank you for our dining experience.

Was skeptical because it was empty but very impressed. Best authentic Chinese in Toledo. Way better than Jing Chuan

Just got food for the first time. Some the best Chinese food I have ever had in Toledo. Had 3 different dishes and soup and everything had its own unique flavor. read more

Just go. Go now. It's one of two places to get quality Asian food. Quality meat and good prices. I'm picky about quality.

I love this place so much. I'm from the Chicago area so I'm picky but I haven't tried a bad dish. I love the cumin lamb, egg rolls, General tsos, salt baked chili shrimp. So many good dishes. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Every time I have gotten food from here it has been amazing. Lots of choices and they have the best fried rice and egg rolls.

Excellent Chinese Food...I love their fish, and there are other items on the menu that are TERRIFIC...

I would have given this restaurant five stars, but they've done little to update their store from when it was a Long John Silver's. Too bad because most Toledo Inns pass right by it, and it really has some of the best Chinese food in northwest Ohio. The assortment of menu items is fairly extensive as is typical with most Chinese restaurants. But what's not typical is the quality of their food. We really eat "American Chinese" most of the time. My wife ordered the lemon chicken and it was fantastic. I tried a new dish for me the salt baked shrimp with chili. I prefer my Chinese somewhat spicy and I was not disappointed. We plan to make this our go to Chinese. read more

This has become my go-to place when I want really good Chinese food. Everything is always fresh and flavorful, and the service is top notch, and the sizeable portions are reasonably priced. read more

Horribe place, the people don't understand english apparently, made the wrong order after explaining in simple terms, won't refund the money or fix the food, the facility lacked cleanliness and no customer service. read more

Top 5 best Chinese in Toledo, IMO. Closed on Monday. 5 star won ton soup and egg rolls. Kung Pao Chicken from the authentic menu is awesome and better then PF Changs. Huge servings. Always great service. read more

Dim sum dish is good to try, fresh lobster and fish is my favorite ! The only place do real Chinese style food , and their popular dish general Tao 's chicken and house special shrimp read more

Very Good! The wonton soup and egg rolls were yummy! Very generous servings. My vegetable egg foo young was 3 large patties. We will definitely come back. We decided to give this place a chance due to the positive reviews on Yelp and glad we did. Nice and clean inside too! read more

Good Chinese food. Better than other places in Toledo I have had Chinese from. Food is a little more than their competitors but taste better and portions are very generous, enough leftovers for a second meal. I have only done take out, but dining rooms looked clean and was redone nicely from the old LJS that use to be there. They had no alcohol when I was there, but they just opened and not sure if they are in the process of applying for an alcohol license or if they are going to be alcohol free. Staff is friendly and I will return. read more

Had the taste for Chinese while out if town. Always read reviews before doing so. Read up on this place and had to put in a order. From the first bite to the last it was amazing. They forgot our sauce for the crab ragoon but it was still bomb. Don't pass up this place, try it ASAP. read more

Aah-mazing! This is some of the best Chinese cuisine I've had outside the mainland. The menu is gigantic, with an American-friendly section as well as a more authentic array of dishes. Everything is family style, so bring friends. read more

Authentic Chinese! This place gets it! Great customer service and most importantly the food is great! We typically order their Hot and Sour soup which is the best I have tasted domestically that I can remember! IT is served warm and does kick a punch in relation to spice. If you are not one for spicy flavor this isn't a good soup for you but if you are IT IS A WINNER! I typically get either the General Tso's chicken or the Lemon Chicken which have both been winner's! Compared to other Chinese they do not serve these dishes bathing in sauce. There is ample sauce but not so much that it is drowning in it. If you are looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant in Toledo and one where the customer service and prices are right, I definitely recommend BM Chen's! read more

I wasn't sure what to try being my first time here but I went with the Singapore noodles and it was really good . The portions are plentiful and the price is reasonable . I I'll definitely eat here again read more

A true gem of Toledo! There is both an authentic Chinese menu as well as an americanized version (your typical general tso's, orange chicken, lo mein and the like)-- I would highly recommend ordering off of the authentic menu! Would highly recommend the eggplant and braised beef clay pot, boiled fish in chili oil, and pork chop with chili and spiced salt. The staff are super nice and attentive and the food comes out very quick! read more

We just ate here for the first time. What a pleasant surprise. Not much to look at on outside but clean and friendly inside. The dishes we had were excellent. We will definitely be back to try other things. Very reasonably priced as well. The crispy beef was very moist and flavorful but crispy. 4.5 for now. Heading back soon. read more

I am starting to wonder if some yelp reviewers are being paid to give 5 star reviews to mediocre restaurants or they just have led sheltered lives. After a very hard week we decided a great new restaurant dining experience was the best thing to do on a rainy Saturday. After scouring the yelp page for a great casual restaurant, we happened on the many 5-star reviews for B.M. Chen. Really? Lets go! Tried the raved-about egg drop soup-Eh. Tried the recommended "best in Toledo egg roll"-What? The "lightly" coated fried General Tso's Chicken was about as chewy and heavy as any other Chinese establishment except the sauce was a cut above. The triple delight seafood only had shrimp as it's seafood.-Hmm. Not impressed one bit. The restroom smelled heavily of insect spray.-OMG!!. Glad I didn't discover that until finished with the meal. BUT the owner and staff were very friendly, courteous and efficient (even though they forgot to serve us the hot tea we asked for!). Long ride back to B.G. read more

Moved to this part of town a couple of months ago. We've ordered from here a couple of times and the food is on point. This will be our go to for affordable Chinese. read more
