Chan's Restaurant

Chan's has been serving Humboldt County Chinese food since 1942! And the current location has been in operation since 1972. The place might not be the most eye appealing exterior but don't let that keep you from pulling into the parking lot. Inside you'll walk into the restaurant probably exactly the same way it looked back in the 70's! One of the Chan's family members will seat you and bring you water, hot tea and take your order. The food is so so good. It's much more traditional than typical white washed Chinese food. Three generations of the Chan's family can be found working there on a daily basis. The excellent recipes have been taught and passed down from the grandparents to the kids and now the grandkids and soon the great grandkids. I can definitely recommend you must try this place for yourself. They also have a huge number Togo orders. If you prefer to grab and go, they certainly will be able to accommodate that for you!

The place does look abandoned on the outside but inside looked very clean and nice. I ordered a honey walnut prawn dish. The broccoli was great and prawns were great. The white sauce was scarce but I was never a fan of it to began with, from any restaurant so that didn’t bother me. I’d recommend this place! I wish I knew it was open sooner
