I love this place. It's my go-to local Chinese take out. I'm not a meat eater and their orange tofu and veggie fried rice always hits the spot. The owner is very nice and always greets with a smile. The place isn't very busy when I go in but I think it's busy in fits and starts. Try it for your takeout Chinese! read more

It was our first time at Chen's kitchen tonight I really enjoyed the flavors, the noodles were done in a nice sauce: the main complaint is that is basically what we got noodles. There was no pork, no cabbage, no vegetables just a big plate of noodles! we took it into the kitchen and tore into it at the bottom of the bowl. There were three small slices of pork. It was really a letdown because we were looking forward to returning again. Maybe if they do something with their portions, we would try again. read more

Food was Moderately priced and easy to order, food was pretty good and of moderate quality

Not gourmet, perhaps authentic?! But decent value for the offering with friendly staff to make the time there quite nice! read more

I got the chicken chow mein, I love the noodles, but the chicken was very fatty and gristly. It wasn't a bad price, I'd probably order something else, but not with meat since I'm not impressed with that part. read more

Efficient and freshly made food, that tastes good. New owners kept the same menu. As with everything, prices have risen but not exhorbitantly more. Our faves are wonton soup, house chow mein, house egg fu young, green beans, and sesame chicken. In fact, after posting this, we gong to order again today. Later and happy eats! read more

Kung pao shrimp and mongolian beef were very good! Happy to find good Chinese nearby.

Just another typical Chinese joint like on every corner of every city. The meat never really tastes like meat. We dined in because we wanted soup and scorching hot soup should never be in a plastic to go container. To our disappointment, our soup was served to our table in a plastic to go container. To make it even more unhealthy they bring you a STYROFOAM bowl and plastic spoons. Might as well add some melted LEGO's on top. There are no bathrooms as well. The lady working the front counter and bringing the food to the table was very nice. read more

THEY GOT DUCK SAUCE IYKYK!! The food was pretty good. The chow mein was a little dry. The sweet and sour pork was fried to perfection and the sauce was super sweet. The house special chicken was really good. Could've used a little more flavor but was good. The potstickers, vegetables egg roll and chicken egg roll were okay; they were fried for to long making them quite hard but the inside was good. The sauces tho are to die for . The lady at the counter was super sweet and nice. (Ofc my husband didn't understand what I wanted when he called in, she waited till I got there and checked certain things over with me). We'll be back to try more! read more

They aren't close, but if we are in that direction, we definitely stop in. The food is really delicious and when ordered to go, it is packed with more care than anywhere else we have found. I can't say which dish is the best, because we haven't had a bad selection yet. read more

Great fried rice, great portion too. I've ordered all kinds of fried rice from here for several years, service and quality has been consistent. read more

Delicious! Stopped by on a whim after the bank and saw they had my favorites: salt n pepper wings and shrimp. Not every place does them correctly, so I was skeptical, but figured I'll never know unless I try. Best decision! Wings were hot, crispy and seasoned perfectly. S&P shrimp were whole, shell-on and seasoned & fried exactly as they should be. Note that this is a small, no-frills establishment and easy to overlook but do yourself a favor and check them out the next time you're craving chinese take out. read more

Me nd the family stopped by, The food was great, We had sesame chicken, Beef and broccoli, beef chow fun, and Mongolian Beef. I have a family of 5 it feed all of us plus we took left over home. They gave us a large side of white rice, everything tasted really good the Mongolian beef did have more onions than beef tho. The lady at the front desk is super sweet and kind. read more

Always delish. Great vegetarian options. Love ther kung pao tofu. And i get there plain chow meing.

This is exactly what you would expect from a quick service Chinese food place. I would compare it to Panda Express, because the food gave me the feel of getting it from a warming tray. Although I did see them making up things fresh, perhaps this was due to the contents sitting in to go containers. The food was mediocre, gives you the taste of what you are looking for but not the freshest or best quality. However, we did try it on Christmas and they were slammed which may have diminished the quality. The workers were very busy, they handled what seemed to be a high stress situation with grace. They did underestimate our wait time as we called ahead and ended up waiting about an hour versus the 40 minutes we were told. We were very happy to receive our food as there were not many places open. The location is in a strip mall with a large parking lot. There are several tables inside for dine in and they do takeout. read more

We've never had great food here but wanted to give it another chance, as we like supporting local businesses. It appears to be under new ownership or management, so we thought it may have improved. Unfortunately, it got worse. I used to dine in years ago with my kids who were babies then, and the staff was always so nice to us and would gush over my daughters. It was a pleasant experience to dine in, even if we didn't love the food. Food was always brought out on dishes along with silverware. Now, the dine-in experience is one to be avoided. Our food was brought out in a styrofoam container, along with styrofoam plates and plastic forks! I was in shock. Why would anyone want to dine in and eat off plastic? We ended up getting it to go, so at least we could go home and avoid wasting styrofoam. This day and age, it's shocking that more businesses don't care about the environment. The food was average at best. I am giving an extra star because the woman helping was very nice, even if she didn't understand what I was saying about the environment read more

Servers are friendly! Fast! And efficient! We got our meal shortly after deciding where to sit. Bathroom was clean the food was just enough to get up and go for a walk after but still full. read more

I had the beef chow mein. I was disappointed. The noodles were greasy with beef that didn't taste like beef. The entire dish was bland with a weird after taste. Dishes are made after you order. You can put in an order online via yelp even before they open with a preferred time for pick up which was convenient. No bathroom. It's a small sit in nothing fancy really plain. There's no fountain drinks but individual bottles and cans to be purchased read more

My wife and I had the opportunity to have lunch today at Chens. We both got the Lunch House special Beef with Egg fried rice. This was a large portion with a well balanced serving of each. The Rice and Beef were outstanding. The Pot stickers were good and the pastry they gave us was a terrific complement too the meal. This was a lot better than anything I have ever had at Panda or pick up stix. The place is small with about 6 tables inside. What it lacks in ambiance it makes up for in taste and quality. The AC was out, so it was a bit warm inside. The woman working the counter was very nice and helpfull I recommend and will be back. read more

Great small spot for a quick lunch. The server was kind and directed us to try the spicy chicken. It was not too spicy but came out of the kitchen hot! Chicken was a bit chewy but still good. Our other dish was chicken with green beans, which is my son's favorite. It was hot and fresh, green beans still had nice snap, they were not stringy as can easily happen in this dish. Ambiance is clean and small - but dining in will be on paper plates with plastic utensils, which isn't ideal. read more

Stumbled into this spot for lunch mid errand run and was pleasantly surprised! It was quick, fresh, hot and very tasty. The portion size for lunch was generous and depending on how much you eat could be two meals. The staff was really sweet and helpful. Would recommend!! The honey walnut shrimp was a little more breaded than you'd find at Chin's or Panda Express for example but it was delicious and the fried rice was WAY better than anywhere else I've had- fresh egg in it. I could also taste bits of fresh garlic in the cream cheese wontons too. Give it a try if you're in the mood read more

Came here thinking Chu's Quik Wok was still here but that wasn't the case. New owners, new menu, different flavors. The food was decent. It's your atypical Chinese take out fare though cooked fresh and hot. The flavor was pretty decent. They were a little heavy handed with the sauces, the food came out a tad salty. The service was friendly, fast, and thorough. read more

Ordered delivery. Food was plentiful and tasty, but not "too" tasty in that you can doctor up the flavors with soy sauce, sriracha, MSG (lol that's my fave), chili crunch or whatever you got. Packaging was typical and prices were fair given the quantity of food you get. I love places that give you more meat, than cheap veggies. We had leftovers for days. Although we typically don't eat out at chinese restaurants much anymore (especially after the pandemic), I would absolutely order takeout or delivery again read more

Great food , Great service I absolutely loved that is family run business I love the friendly atmosphere read more

It was very clean and the lady working the counter was very nice. Food was delicious, made on the spot and very quickly. I nixed it 1 star as it was my first time here and the building sign hasn't been updated yet, so yeah I was looking for it? ‍. I only figured it out by the window sign. In any case, we ordered the following and ALL VERY GOOD! I'd also visit again! Broccoli Beef Kung Pao chicken BBQ Pork Chowmein Cream cheese wontons Fried shrimp Sesame Balls read more

We've been looking for a good Chinese food place for awhile, and we finally found it. Everything was made to order, and came out fresh and hot. All 3 of our meals were perfect, and so flavorful we couldn't stop eating! The staff was friendly, and we will definitely be back! read more

Generous portions, delicious food, the kids loved it. Everything was fresh and out super fast. The service was great. Definitely coming back! read more

Great Entree Choices and SO SO Delicious!! Staff very very friendly. Suzy makes us feel so welcomed

Great lunch spot! Came in here with family, my mom and I loved the teriyaki chicken bowl. This place is family owned and had a large restaurant prior to the pandemic, and unfortunately as with a lot of local businesses had to close down. Happy they opened shop here! read more

Great place I work near it and it's always a good option and fast also Apple Pay friendly

Ordered trays for a get together for over 20 people. The food was ready on time and very hot, so nice to know it had been made fresh.The favorites ordered were beef & broccoli, chicken and vegetables and garlic pepper wings which were fried. Also one person who loves cream cheese won tons said they were delicious with a good amount of filling (apparently some places skimp on that) we got extra trays because my husband thought it didn't look like enough even though the lady said how much it would feed. I think she was pretty accurate. But nobody was bothered that we had leftovers. We gave food to everyone as they left and no one declined. We all had delicious Chinese food the next day too! read more

The food is amazing and fresh ! I always come when I'm craving Chinese take out ! The service is great too !

This place was surprisingly good. Loved the house beef special. Very friendly and prices are really fair.

Ordered takeout for New Year's Eve. Food was delivered fast and hot, but unfortunately was just ok. Got the moo shu pork and never seen a version like this. Very watery and bland. House special beef was a little chewy, but good flavor. Salt and pepper wings ok. Will keep looking for a local go to. read more

Amazing food! Portions were very generous. My husband had the honey walnut shrimp and enjoyed every bite.

Their menu is good as well as their food however; the prices are too high you can get the same menu at other places a lot cheaper

Amazing Chinese food!!! I have been a customer since it was called Quick Wok and I really enjoyed their food but it had a decline and I hadn't tried it in awhile.I found out it had new owners and had to try again. The new owners have really taken it up a notch and the food is back to the high quality delicious level I remember it used to be. Totally recommend ot to new and hopefully returning g customers. Excellent food !!! read more
