It's a small unassuming place - that looks to do more takeout than dine in - but I was lucky and hit the small dining area on an off time. The dumplings and curry were AMAZING! The medium spice was just right for me - a pretty good kick but not too much. (If you're sensitive to spicey you'll probably want the mild!) And, added bonus- the owner was super friendly and I very much enjoyed chatting with her! The only thing wrong was my wife wasn't with me - so I didn't get to order a second entree to taste / share with her ! I hope my travels bring me back here some time!

Not much to look at pulling up, but some of the most amazing food inside. Only three small tables and I assume they do mostly carryout. We happened to Come at an odd time. 2:30 on a Friday which worked out perfect considering I heard them on the phone say they are often booked ahead for multiple hours. The cheese wontons and the potstickers were great, but the true masterpiece is the peppered sliced steak. We enjoyed it on the green curry but they offer as an option on many of their dishes. I would literally drive from Toledo, Ohio where I live to enjoy this place again.

This is a good choice for a slower-paced meal, but I would not recommend it for larger parties unless you are eating family-style. We arrived on a Friday night when it was full (about 6:30; they close at 8:00) and after waiting about 10 minutes for a table, there was considerable wait for our food as well. The server, who was so sweet, explained the kitchen operates with only a 4-burner stove. We watched a 6-top near us get served their entrees over a period of about 10 minutes, and then the last man waited for his about an additional 5. They were together, but not eating together most of the time, and it seemed awkward for them. Vibe and decor had great energy. We would definitely return!

My husband walked in the door at 5pm which was when they opened, he was first in line. He ordered me vegan options which he was advised would take 50 minuets. Fast forward 1 hour and 40 min later the food was finally done. (Another pick up order had actually left and requested a refund while my husband was waiting) I called to ask for a manager callback to find out why it took so long. Upon calling I spoke with Tina who answered said she was the owner and started to yell at me for the inquiry. She claimed Vegan food takes that long to cook. (Vegan food is just minus eggs and meat/fish in Thai dishes.) The yelling was unnecessary and unacceptable. The wait would have been acceptable if we had been advised. I'd recommend finding another Thai restaurant. Does anyone have any suggestions? **UPDATE - Call back from the real "Tina" to advise I don't know vegan or Thai food. She called "apologize" while saying why she was right after apologizing which isn't an apology. Apparently her mother was the one to answer the phone and yell at me originally.

Food downhill from visit 9 yrs ago…read more Food: 1.5/5 Service: 5/5 did takeout, they were fast. Ambience: 5/5 cute inside, decorated romantically for night. Some seclusion, not chairs tightly in. Value: 1.5/5 The 4 items below were $35!!! I would rate this a 3 star expensive restaurant, generating higher expectations. Order Details: hot & sour soup: this tasted like a watered down chix noodle but with water chestnuts instead of noodles. Threw it out. Zero spicy, which isnt hot/sour soup. eggroll: it tasted like the oil and vat hasnt been changed in a long while. Szechuan shrimp with veggies. OMG a severe disappointment from a place that has authentic Chinese people working there. Fried rice: it was really white rice with some broth added. Thats not fried rice. I threw most of it out for squirrels and despite it being winter and cold- they didnt eat in 2 days. Shrimp: 1 size bigger than salad shrimp. Sauce: NOT Szechuan, it was a thick duck sauce and they threw in a couple peppers. Spice level: zero, despite the dish definition itself + me telling them I like spicy. Veggies: what a joke. There were 2 broccolis about .5" each and severely overcooked. My advice: call these dishes something dif, it is very misleading.

We ordered the Sweet and Sour Pork, Fried Rice, and Lo Mein Noodles. The rice was good. Half of the Sweet and Sour Pork was just a crisp shell - no meat inside at all. The other half had meat, but the thickest breading so it was nearly a 50/50 ratio. The noodles were so over cooked that they were mushy. There was no twirling around your fork or scooping up a big bite that slaps you in the chin as you try to eat it; as soon as you stuck a fork in, it was tiny, chewy pieces. So disappointing.

Some drove from over an hour away and we thought Chen's was the one perfect place. I made sure that we tipped the Mongolian grill staff $5-10/plate (even though it's included in the price of the buffet). I genuinely believe in taking care of our local establishments. And, at a buffet, I left a $50 tip just on the ticket (~35%) and yet the young lady working up front screamed at me for grabbing three to-go ice cream items (literally in to-go packaging) for my family because some are older, no one ate much, and no one realized that was an option. So I thought I'd get them for them. But the girl up front said no. I politely tried to explain and she immediately said she'd call the cops if I didn't leave. Wtf. You just lost a long-time group of people who were always rooting for you. That moment completely changed how we view this restaurant. A place we once recommended is now a place we won't return to.
