“Mr. Chen's is one of the few local Chinese restaurants offering anything approaching "real" Chinese food. The sautéed sweet pea leaves, pictured below, are one of my favorites, and just not available at the many Americanized Chinese restaurants in our area. Yesterday, we also ordered chicken lo mein and shredded beef bean curd with cilantro, both of which were very tasty and are photographed below. Someone who hasn't been to Mr. Chen's previously may find the approach to the restaurant through a grocery store redolent with smells a bit off-putting, but what waits inside the restaurant will be worth the trip through the store entrance. Wait staff can sometimes be a bit less than engaging, though usually solicitous. None of that may matter when the food, which is always delicious, arrives on your table, however.“
“Found this place by accident. Had the lunch special, kung pao beef, served with fried rice and egg roll. It was delicious! I was surprised by the fresh, sautéed, quartered mushrooms in it, which I don’t prefer, but my mom sure had no problem taking them. I ordered Lo mein on the side, just to try it, and it was tasty, as well. With that side order, we each had another full meal to take home.“
“Staff was friendly and a good selection of Asian foods. They did not have a big selection of Japanese foods or sushi grade meats which is what we wanted but overall we would go back. It was also nice theybwere open an hour later than the b other asian markets.“
