Chef Chen

***BAIT AND SWITCH*** This is NOT Chef Chen. I feel like I've been duped. I went online to order Chef Chen and was automatically routed to this restaurant's website. I ordered not paying attention. Went to go pick up my order, and still, something wasn't clicking. I went inside and picked up my order. There was a different lady in there than the normal super nice lady who is always there. This was a younger woman who seemed a bit stressed out. I thought I heard her say to someone on the phone that there was a new owner. I now wonder if that person called to complain about the food because it is NOT the same. I was extremely disappointed. The only thing that was good were the steamed dumplings. I also ordered Mongolian beef, which was just mediocre. I ordered shrimp fried rice, which had

Chef Chen really surprised me in the best way! The restaurant itself is definitely older — the furniture and decor could use a little updating — but honestly, the food makes up for it. Everything we ordered came out hot, fresh, and so flavorful. It’s one of those spots where the looks might fool you, but the kitchen is doing what needs to be done. And the prices? Super affordable, which is always a win. What really made my visit special was the owners. They were so sweet to my toddler and interacted with him the whole time. You don’t get that type of genuine attention everywhere, and as a mom, that meant a lot to me. It made the experience feel warm and personal. I’m giving it 4 stars only because the place is a little old and could use some love when it comes to decor and furniture. But

This just might be what you’re looking for 🥘 On my quest for Asian cuisine I stumbled upon this restaurant, quietly tucked away in this mini strip mall. The outer appearance is quite deceptive, leading one to think this establishment may only host a few families at most, but once you enter you’ll find yourself in a spacious restaurant with dim/warm lighting and ambiance that modestly reinforces the culinary specialties. Being one of two people in the restaurant during a midday meal, my service was quick. The staff were attentive and checked in quite often, but not an overwhelming amount. I ordered the hot and sour soup. Which yes, was both those things, and held a great temperature warmth for a while. I then ordered what I remember to be the lunch special beef vegetable stir fry and was

Truly exceptional service. Changed owners and name, now called Taste of China. Everything is improved and delightful. The location looks amazing and updated. The food tastes fresh and it served hot. The owners are super attentive with extra care to ensure you have a wonderful meal experience. I love Chinese takeout, this is the best!

This is not Chef Chen, ownership and name have changed, and is now called "Taste of China". I was assured it was the same chef and food, and after eating here for years, I can assure you that is not true. Food is far worse and somehow more expensive. Makes zero sense. After 10 years of coming here, I will not be coming back.
