I wasn't interested in the chain restaurants, so this place looked like it was worth a try. I decided to go with the Hunan chicken since I'm trying to cut back on four-legged animals, the veggies are a plus. The chicken was properly velveted and has that nice juicy texture. The wok flavor was definitely there. The order came with a fried rice which is just plain fried rice with a bit of soy sauce and wok flavoring. I was impressed with how authentic the food tasted and was truly glad I stopped by. There was too much food so I took the other half to go. I will definitely stop by again if given the chance.

They dont have all drinks on the menu and the menu is not updated. They did tell us what was not available but was a generic dont have these and just slid his fingers on the menu. I finally got an iced lemon tea. We initially ordered egg rolls and a hot pot. We ordered spicy soup together with bok choy fungus( wood ear mushrooms) Beef, spam, fishballs and jumbo shrimp and egg noodles with a side of white rice. The soup came with a burner and it wasnt powerful enough to boil the soup on the pot. The pot had no definite style to it. Tasted like soy bean soup with some sichuan peppers. Not excessively spicy and not very flavourful. Our ingredients took a long while to come out- and our egg rolls eventually never came. Practically all the ingredients were frozen with the exception of the fungi and the egg noodles. The sauce station looks thrown together with takeout containers and plenty of sauce. The bbq sauce had part of a spoon which was broken off in the sauce. The sauces are similar to haidilao type just not as fresh. But the chives looked a little greyish. Overall, service is not fantastic. We did remind them multiple times about the egg rolls, but it still didn't ever arrive. They at least took it off the bill. We forgot to check about the missing bakchoy. Not sure we will be back anytime soon. Hubby wasn't quite happy with our dinner last night.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ms Chen 56 today for a late lunch with my daughter and her friend, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The seafood boil was absolutely fantastic--each bite was packed with fresh, flavorful seafood cooked to perfection. The seasoning was just right, and the variety of seafood was impressive. But what truly stood out was the attentive service. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, making the meal even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back! read more

We've been enjoying numerous visits to this restaurant. Always experience great service, affordable prices, amazing food and great portions. Nice and quiet atmosphere inside with ample parking outside. And if you can't eat anything too spicy let the server know....they will make it mild. Very clean throughout, too.

Since I hadn't tried Korean food before, I chose the beef bulgogi, which comes with rice and access to a kimchi bar. The bulgogi was very flavorful, and I also added an order of crab rangoon (it was just ok). I'm not a kimchi fan, though I did try a few things.
