Chen's Kitchen does not taste like many Chinese food places where it tastes either too salty/greasy, or as if the food has been sitting. The quality is like an expensive Chinese restaurant but with lower prices. You won't regret spending your hard earned money here. EVERYTHING is good!

Of course, portions are for sharing, and so if you're ordering for one, you will have leftovers. Lol! I couldn't just have one thing. They have alot of items on their menu so you can definitely keep going back without ordering the same thing again! Definite a place to check out if you're in the area.

I usually get it to go since I don't have much time to sit and enjoy the food at the shop. The place is fairly spacious and has a Chinese-style atmosphere. Service is okay, some staff members are friendly and pleasant, while others are not very welcoming. Parking is spacious and easy, which is very convenient for customers.

Another incredible, quiet little Asian restaurant with Michelin recognition that somehow I had…read morenever heard of until recently. A few months ago, I was at a sushi-making class and a couple of the students kept talking about how amazing this place was, so of course I just had to bookmark it. We did the 10-course meal with a few additions, and WoW! Every course felt thoughtful, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor and temperature was just right and the balance of ingredients just worked so well together. The service was incredible. Our server was so knowledgeable and did such a great job walking us through each dish, sharing the history behind the chefs, and explaining where their inspiration came from. It made the whole experience feel even more personal and memorable. Just wow. This is absolutely a place I need to return to, especially when the seasonal menu changes.

been dragging my feet on writing this review. very mixed experience. some dishes were truly…read moreoutstanding. some fell short. the service was absolutely first-rate. spent much of the evening with the sommelier, who was both engaging and entertaining. place is dimly lit, so if it's true you eat first with your eyes, initial appraisals of everything we had involved a lot of guesswork. for personal reasons, the ambiance adjustment took some getting used to. been here a dozen times for burgers and German food (when it was a sports bar with pool tables) and struggled with a lingering undercurrent of that vibe. the amuse-bouche was perfect. an imaginative and well-executed taste, the SHRIMP TOAST was an amazing first bite. the JIAOZI in DOUBANJIANG with MINT and CHARRED PINEAPPLE (steamed shrimp and scallop dumplings in a fermented black-bean butter sauce) were delightful. sweet, slightly smoky, acidic punch from the pineapple popped the other flavors. DONGPO PORK BELLY with tallegio-scallion polenta cake and daikon was a confusing. I love pork belly. I love grits. but in the dim lighting, it was hard to distinguish contrasting flavors and textures. I needed more visual clues. I did not properly visualize the dish until we got home and posted photos that were light-adjusted. the duck was a survey course of five regions. Lanzhou: AROMATIC CHILI and DUCK FAT condiment was one of the five regions from the duck series. server recommended as an add for the other four regions, but portion was insufficient for two, much less the other four. Guangdong: DUCK NECK CONGEE (duck-rice porridge with duck-skin cracklings and puffed wild rice). It was a lot more complex and interesting than I would have guessed from the menu description. really quite good. Shandong: caramelized honey crisp apple, parsnips, smoked bamboo, and crispy duck crackling. a muddled and incohesive dish. no center to hold things together. more quiet cacophony than robust harmony. Sichuan: Zhangcha jasmine tea smoked DUCK BREAST with charred scallions and duck jus. perfectly cooked, gorgeous presentation, but underseasoned. would have appreciated a sprinkling of flake salt and cracked black pepper to finish. the Hong Kong BREAD PUDDING with coconut-caramel sauce fell short. I'm a huge bread pudding AND caramel fan but was just okay. genius concept but for me, their reach as often as not exceeded their grasp.

It's cheap but not worth it just go to Panda Express The food was only good the second day when I had to reheat it add an egg and some seasons of my own to actually get the rice and the pork to taste good. Service was good, and quick but I'd never come here again sorry

The black pepper beef with peppers is also super tasty but it's a hit or miss because sometimes the meat is super tender but other times it's tough and chewy so I stopped getting it as often. The flavor is amazing though. Another thing to try is the spicy sesame wonton it tastes like normal spicy wontons but mixed with like thai peanut sauce dip which is a unique combo but it works. The milk tea is pretty good too. The service is always good and the workers are nice. I usually get takeout but it's a good place to sit down too.

Amazing! Father's Day early dinner (4:30pm Sunday)…read more While most American-Chinese restaurants serve typical Cantonese-influenced cuisine or heavily westernized dishes (i.e. Beef with Broccoli, or other Panda-inspired faire), Tasty Noodle House focuses on Shanghainese appetizers, Dim Sum and fried noodles. It is a small chain with locations around SoCal. This was our first time here. We ordered: * 1 Large Asahi Bottle Beer ($10.99) * Shanghai Pan-Fried Soup Dumplings ($10.50) * Combination Fried Rice ($15.99) * Shanghai Style Chow Mein ($14.99) * Tasty Dry Pot with Lamb ($20.99) For me, the star was the Dry Pot, wow! This is similar to your typical hot pot but this has no broth. It was already slightly warm inside so a hot soup would have had us sweating. We chose dry and it was unbelievably good. Definitely getting this again. The Fried Rice and Shanghai Chow Mein fried noodles were excellent as well. Not huge plates but we managed to split it four ways. In fact all of the dishes we ordered family style so we could all share. They did not have your typical "combo" entrees that had sides of soup or rice. Here you order one big plate of fried rice, one big plate of noodles, and so on...and SHARE. We were getting full when the Shanghai Fried Soup Dumplings came out. Wow they were huge! Biggest soup dumplings I have ever seen (maybe I don't get out much?)...seriously the size of an orange. My wife and I split one large bottle of beer. They gave us two frosted glasses and the bottle split evenly. Perfect! Ice waters were really tasty too (I never comment on water but here I am). Service was excellent. In the end, we paid the bill using the handheld POS terminal. I asked for an itemized receipt and it printed it all in Chinese! Luckily ChatGPT helped me translate and the bill looked correct. We will most definitely come back. This food has excellent flavors, good pricing and good service. Win, win, win.
