Mess with the sesame, It's a blessing to me. The chicken is fricken bomb, making me spit some psalms. Gotta love this place, never a disgrace. Order a full tray at your next partayyyy. THE BEST. Truly. I love this place. Mindy is wonderful! She's so kind, and every time I see her, she asks about the kids. She's very family-oriented and always does an excellent job. The food is fantastic. Our favorites are mongolian beef, sesame chicken, teriyaki chicken, house special chow mein/lo mein, and garlic chicken. I personally love the egg flower soup! I think it's one of the best I've ever had. It always hits the spot, because it reminds me of a restaurant I used to go to as a kid but that place closed down decades ago. Every time we order take-out, we always get a nice lil surprise of my favorite cream cheese wontons or sometimes we get pot stickers too! On the house!!! They're fantastic, the food is great, and we will continue to support them! Also, not to forget their salt and pepper chicken wings...We ordered a full tray for a party...They were a HIT!!!! read more

Second time we've ordered from Chen's Kitchen, and once again, they did not disappoint! The food strikes me as not your run-of-the-mill takeout ~ delicious, well prepared, with good-sized portions. Looking forward to more great food from them! read more

Fast food made to order. Food is excellent and comparable to a sit down restaurant. Service was fast and the food was piping hot. Jason our server was very nice and accommodating. Chens is family run and can get busy! Give them a try! read more

I was craving for some noodles and decided to try this place. The noodles were delicious and it was enough for 2-3 people. It reminded me of my childhood when my mom made it. The sesame balls are good it taste like it was freshly made. The service is good I ordered online through an app they provided. The place was small that I saw when I picked up my food but enough for you to enjoy your food. Overall, I will come back again. read more

Decent food If you're looking for basic take out Chinese food It came fresh and delicious I ordered delivery and it came super fast My only complaint is the food is a tad salty after you've been eating it for a while so you need a lot of water with it I enjoyed the white rice, but the potstickers were just the frozen ones you get from Trader Joe's so I'd prob not order them again. read more

The best Chinese food! It's that good authentic Chinese that panda just can't do. The service is great also. Everyone is super nice and quick, they make everything fresh to order so it's not sitting under a heat lamp. Little on the pricer side but you get a lot of food so it's worth it. Def check this place out the next time you're wanting Chinese! read more

I really wanted to give this place a great review because the service was excellent. Unfortunately, the food fell short. The flavors were very bland and lacked the boldness you'd expect from these dishes. The Kung Pao chicken was especially disappointing--this dish is typically known for its peanuts, water chestnuts, bell peppers, and a flavorful, spicy sauce. Here, the chicken was heavily breaded, and I could count the peanuts and water chestnuts on one hand. The Shrimp Szechwan tasted overly oily with very little depth of flavor, and the chow mein was similarly bland. Because of the great service, I'm giving this 3 stars, but the food quality would need significant improvement for a returned visit. Would not recommend this place if you're looking for authentic food. read more

We found a local eatery that served our favorite shrimp with lobster sauce. Finally ! Since our local Chin's closed. The staff was very friendly and service was quick. It's located close to where we bank and shop (Walmart and NFCU). The decor is simple and clean. Something one would expect in a local diner. read more

Food was amazing as always! Oliver was our server and he had a fantastic attitude even though I have special requests like extra lemon for my water. I highly recommend Chins. read more

I rarely order Chinese food, however it was late and we decided to try out the restaurant since we just moved to the area. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant seemed clean. We entered 20 minutes before close and they had an amazing attitude and were very welcoming for us to order! We got beef with brócoli and it was 10/10 flavor. Small side of veggie lo mien was also 10/10 and of course veggie egg rolls / cheese wonton. The woman did half n half for us which was really nice of her. I wish I took a photo but we ate it immediately. We'll definitely be back read more

Excellent orange chicken! Nice quiet little place with the sweetest staff. Large portions!

My family and I LOVE this spot. Chen's Kitchen is great Chinese food, large portions, friendly service, and affordable. It's not a full on restaurant, but the food tastes like it. We are definitely keeping Chen's in our rotation of local restaurants. read more

Today was Easter Sunday and I wanted to order Chinese Cuisine for my dinner time meal today. I placed my online order on the Door Dash App on my IPhone at 7 p. m. I ordered from the Chen's Kitchen website. It included one Chow Chicken Fen. The price was $15.99. My next order was the Pot Stickers that is filled with shredded chicken meat and it includes 8 pieces. The price was $10.00. Then I also added the one small box of White Rice. The price is $3.00. The delivery fee was $1.49. I don't have the Dash Pass Membership anymore since it has expired in December of 2023. The prices are more expensive now. The subtotal was $28.98. The Service fee was $4.35. The Estimated Tax was $2.39. The Dasher Tip for Christian was $3.50. My total cost was $40.71. Also included in my order was their condiments, one large container of Chili Sauce, 4 packets of Soy Sauce, 2 Siracha Sauce Packets, and this one small container of Sesame Sauce. Then I received a generous stack of white napkins with 2 plastic forks and 3 plastic spoons. My dessert was the 4 packages of Fortune Cookies. I charged this amount to my credit card account. The weather conditions today were really not good. It was raining throughout the day today. I looked on the Door Dash App and it said that Christian is waiting to pick up my order at Chen's Kitchen tonight. Christian delivered my Chen's Kitchen Order to my front door at 7:47 p. m. tonight. It was raining really hard when he brought my order to my home. I opened up my front door. Christian was very friendly, and he smiled then he told me that he doesn't mind the rain. Then I told him to have a Happy Easter today. Christian then handed me one large bag with my order packed inside with a brown paper bag and a white plastic bag on the outside. Then Christian said goodbye and he drove off. I took my Chen's Kitchen Order inside my house. I had to re-heat 2 of the Chicken Pot Stickers and one serving of the Chicken Chow Fen with one scoop of the white rice. I made one cup of hot tea for my beverage. I didn't see any drinks on their menu today. After I re-heated everything up tonight for my dinner time. I sat down to eat everything. The Chicken Chow Fen had the correct amount of seasoning added to it. It was flat noodles with tender pieces of chicken meat that was marinated for a long time. There was also some veggies mixed into this dish. It was very tasty. The white rice was a perfect combination with this Chicken Chow Fen. I had a lot of this Chinese Food left over because I received a generous serving of it. I only could eat 2 Chicken Pot Stickers but they were both very crispy of the outside and has delicious chicken meat filled inside. i was very satisfied with my Chen's Kitchen meal today. It was a delicious Easter dinner that I enjoyed eating. read more

Heard a few good things about this place and thought we would check it out. We ordered online for pickup. We arrived to get our order only to find that they mistakenly made us Garlic Chicken instead of Orange Chicken. The lady was nice and quickly made us the right dish. She also gave us the Garlic Chicken at no cost. Very nice of her. When we got home and unpacked everything, we found that they gave us Kung Pao Chicken instead of Kung Pao Beef. At this point I'm not going to call and complain but just enjoy what they gave us. We all ate and chatted about the taste of the food and all agreed that it was just ok, very bland and lacked flavor. The Kung Pao Chicken and Garlic Chicken were very similar in taste, enough so, that we actually thought they were the same dish. As you can see from my order summary, 4 items plus tip was over $70 and a service fee on top of that. Unfortunately, we won't be returning, especially when there are better options close by. read more

Chen's Kitchen - Order summary - Chinese Near Me - Oceanside, California

Good solid, fast-food style Chinese take out food from a mom and pop shop. What's not to like? Portions were large, parking easy, so maybe there's a bunch of boxes of non-perishable items stacked up in the dining room (they probably got a good deal on them!) the people are so very nice! Maybe not the place to impress a date, but for a meal to take back home to the fam, this place is the spot! Service was quick and friendly. Credit cards accepted. 是的 ! read more

I'm very picky when it comes to fast food Chinese. This place came highly recommended so I had to try it out for myself. We ordered take out via online. Process was very easy. We ordered wonton soup and egg flower soup. Both were very good and flavorful. For our main dishes we ordered the orange chicken, pork and green beans and the house special beef. All were large portions. Cooked fresh and it all tasted so good. Taste and quality of the food is 5 stars. Will definitely come back to try other menu items. read more

Fast, friendly service AND great food. We ordered wonton soup, beef broccoli, fried bananas and potstickers. We only had a chance to take a pic of beef broccoli, rest were gone fast. Lol. Everything was delicious! Support small business read more

We love this place! The food is amazing & the family that runs it is wonderful. The kids always want to go get orange chicken & their chicken chow mien. Everything we have tried was great! HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Ok good, nice people but there's no love in the food. Taste like frozen cardboard dinners but I'll keep supporting local and small business. Screw panda! read more

Great customer service. The freshest thinnest food I've had in awhile. This was my first visit, but it won't be my last. If you're in the area order to go and feed the family with the healthy portions or enjoy the cooking going on inside. The food and service is a 10. Very welcoming staff. Ambiance is out done by the food. read more

This morning I thought I'd heat up my leftovers from yesterday's lunch at Chen's. So I eat it all up but on the last morsel I bite into something that didn't jive with the texture of any of the food. I spit it out turns out there is pieces of plastic in my kung Pao chicken. This has been such a terrible experience. I have pictures however the app is not giving the option to add pictures. read more

Well. I was excited about the rating and went in for takeout hoping to find a new favorite as our usual is temporarily closed. She did help me find the chowfun I did not see it on the menu- possibly because it is misspelled and hard to spot. I'm glad because that was the only good thing we got. 5 stars for the beef chowfun. The wonton soup was just ok the broth was really weak (watered down not much flavor). The moo shu pork was just bad. It was basically cabbage hardly any pork no flavor at all it was steamed cabbage with a few tiny bits of pork. They did give me extra pancakes but they were already going stale (I had to steam them to make them edible) and I asked for extra hoisin and they were little packets not a portion cup of house made. All in all disappointed and won't go back. I also tipped on a takeout and the girl working didn't ask if I needed chopsticks or anything. She asked other to go customers so it was just me. read more

Did take out and was not disappointed. Had salt and pepper chicken wings, happy family, house special chow mein and sesame balls. Fast , friendly service with fresh vegetables and tender meats. We are definitely customers from now on. read more

Ive been wanting to try out this place as it's close to my home. Got some take out the other night but ordered there and got to watch them prepare my order. Dinner and a show! We got shrimp fried rice, orange chicken and moo shoo chicken and they were all very good and so fresh. My favorite was the moo shoo for sure. The interior of the restaurant was nice for a strip mall restaurant. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Will be going back and will eat there next time. Give them a try! read more

Solid food. No surprises and beats the fast food Asian options around the neighborhood in taste. Service was fast. Ambiance was nothing to write about. I had my food to go. read more

Outstanding experience! Chen's Kitchen provided us with 3 HUGE party platters for such a reasonable price. The food was outstanding! Thank you so much for your great service and super yummy food! We ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings, house chow main and veggie fried rice. Everything was perfect! Highly recommend! read more

Customer service is good and the food was prepared without us having to wait an exorbitant amount of time. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered Szechuan tofu with rice and then vegetable chow mein (which was amazing) and my nana ordered salt and pepper wings and vegetable egg rolls. She claims they were excellent. I'm usually a big eater but could not finish it all. Place is mid sized, if you intend to have a large party, you will take up most of the space in this place. Tables would have to be moved together if you wanted to sit together. Other than that it is perfect for 1-4 people to grab lunch and go. They take phone orders. I'm also vegetarian so there are options for you if you are as well. Think that covers it, stop by yourself and enjoy! read more

Very quick take out order experience. There is quite a bit of sauce and the meat doesn't seem to be amazing quality, but it's Chinese take out. read more

We ordered our dinner on line for carry out and our order was delicious everything tasted very fresh and was obviously made to order. The portion was a very good size. We ordered 2 appetizers and an entree and that was plenty for the 2 of us with enough of the entree for another meal. Our entree, Happy Family had a lot of meat and plenty of fresh vegetables. We really enjoyed it. When I walked in to pick up the order the woman was waiting on another table but still immediately turned her head and welcomed me and said she would be right with me and she helped me as soon as she was done. She got my order and thanked me. She had a smile on her face the whole time and was very pleasant, sincerely appreciated our patronizing her business. We will definitely return! read more

We've been eating here since the new owners took over a few years ago. We were thrilled to find egg foo young on the menu. Even more thrilled that it was actually good Tonight's order of vegetable egg foo young was almost tasteless and the sauce served with it was so salty it was inedible. What a disappointment. And, that made dinner white rice with soy sauce. We've had many other dishes. Some good and some not so tasty. The stir fried dishes tend to be better, although the list of ingredients is not accurate. Have ordered 2 different dishes that advertised snow peas and not a pea was found in either dish. So, don't get too excited about your favorite ingredients because they might not show up. Stopped ordering the egg drop soup as the chicken was like shoe leather each time. Think it's time to find a new Chinese food restaurant and not accept mediocre dishes. The dining space is too hot to be enjoyable and you're not allowed to use the restroom. read more

I'm admittedly not sure why everyone else's experience eating here is marked so high, because ours definitely was not that. We decided to try eating here once a few years ago and just ordered your basic chow mein noodles and a chicken dish. What we got was a few dishes that had no little to no flavor which was astounding. I hope the food has changed since that time we went but we've never wanted to go back and try the food here since the first time was such a bad experience for us. read more
