    Szechuan Pork Lo Mein
    Tom M.

    During the pandemic, I feel it's especially important to support local business, but I still can't bring myself to give them a positive review. After having spent close to $40 for takeout, I threw most of it out and would never return. The Orange Beef was large, chewy chunks of beef with little sauce and flavor was lacking. The "szechuan" lo mein was not in the least bit spicy and there was a large puddle of oil at the bottom of the container. Overall, I feel if they didn't have a bar, they would be struggling to stay in business. There are options in the area worth spending the money at. The drinks there may be good, but food quality is severely lacking.

    New to Derry, we've been trying all the local restaurants to find our favorites. Earlier this week…read moreI had a craving for Chicken Kung Pao and decided to give Chen's a try. They did not disappoint. The Chicken Kung Pao was delicious! Since it was our first time, we got a variety of things to try besides the Chicken Kung Pao - Peking Raviolis (fried), Pork Fried Rice, Mongolian Beef, and General Tso's Chicken. No complaints whatsoever. The food was all cooked to order, fresh, tasty, and huge portions. Our family all had leftovers to take home for a second meal. Our waitress who'd been with Chen's for 15 years was terrific. She made great suggestions and the service was quick and friendly. Sorry I can't remember her name, but she is the one who explained that each meal is cooked to order, not simply warmed up from a large batch, so next time if there is anything special we want (no vegetables, extra sauce, light on the hot spices, etc.) all we have to do is ask. To me that is awesome to know since I'm picky about which vegetables I like and while I like a little heat (spice), I don't like it so hot & spicy that I can't enjoy it. For those looking for information about noise and ambiance - we sat in the dining room (not the bar area) since our teen daughter was with us. It was a Tuesday night so it was pretty quiet which I appreciate these days. From what I could see from where we sat in the dining room, it's a bit worn and dated, but clean. Fine for family dining, casual dress, etc. The restaurant followed all social distancing and cleanliness guidelines and I felt very comfortable eating in the restaurant. Given all of that, I will definitely be going back to Chen's to try out more of our favorite dishes to see how they stand up... Thank you Chen's for a great dining experience. Sorry, no pictures!

    My boyfriend and I ordered two drinks. Had to pay each time, no problem. Was going to tip as soon…read moreas we were leaving, even if we couldn't afford it. Tips aren't mandatory by the way. We paid tips each time we went, only time it was difficult to. Bartender starts demeaning my boyfriend based on his job and mouths off. Disrespecting us in front of everybody. We just wanted to have a good time and we worked hard to go there. I saw other reviews stating their food is undercooked and disgusting. The bartenders attitude is just the same. As soon as one of the main bartenders left, the place went downhill. Do not go if you don't want sneers, disrespect, and attitudes for struggling in this economy. Again, just wanted to have a good time while going through life's difficulties.

    Just recently moved to the area from MA. Couldn't find a place that had half-way decent fried…read morerice. I've ordered a few times, I am satisfied with their food, and they have become my normal go-to place for Chinese food. Their fried rice is solid AF; not too much oil, good balance of add-ins. The appetizers are also solid, nothing to write home about, but completely serviceable for the price/portion. The "classic" meals (e.g., Chicken and Broccoli, General Gau's, etc.) are also all good. If you like curries, the Singapore Chow Mai Fun is a must! Overall, while not the best Chinese I've EVER had, it's still pretty darn good.

    In Derry, for years, Lucky Panda was the kind of place you recommended without hesitation. It was…read moredependable. The portions were generous, the flavors were balanced, and the kitchen clearly took pride in what left the pass. Whether it was a quick takeout order after a long day or a casual dinner, you knew exactly what you were getting: fresh ingredients, consistent preparation, and food that felt worth your money. Unfortunately, that version of Lucky Panda feels like a distant memory. Over time, the quality has declined to a point that's difficult to overlook. Dishes that were once vibrant and well-seasoned now arrive bland, overly greasy, or inconsistent in texture. Fried items taste as though the oil hasn't been refreshed often enough. Sauces that were once rich and balanced now feel watered down or overly sweet. Even the staples -- the dishes that should never falter -- no longer reflect the care they once did. Prices have climbed, yet the quality hasn't followed. When higher costs are paired with declining standards, it sends a message -- and not a good one. It no longer feels like a business invested in serving the community; it feels like one cutting corners while charging more. Derry deserves establishments that take pride in what they serve and value the loyalty of their customers. At this point, Lucky Panda has lost that sense of pride and reliability. It's off my list -- and unless meaningful improvements are made, it may be off many others' as well.
