Zen Chinese Kitchen

Before you read the rest.. the food isn't bad, it's good food. Not very pricy considering the huge portions they give you. However... They silently charge you extra on most purchase you will make. I used to come here all the time until I started checking my receipts. Last 4 times I went there I was charged $1.50 extra for Kung Pao Shrimp. Not a single time was I notified it would cost extra. It doesn't say it anywhere in the store either. For the per-entre menu* it's even the same price as the other entries. I learned from my mistake, so next time I came I just got 50/50 fried rice&chow mein with orange chicken. I was charged 50¢ extra for the chow mein. It all shows as one charge on the receipt to so they don't break it down. I had to ask why I was charged extra. Keep in mind it doesn't say anywhere that they charge extra and nobody told me. Also, who charges extra for chow mein... The lady said it's because the employees are new but I've been coming here for months, oblivious of the extra charges. They need to have it marked down.

A rated restaurant. I order orange chicken beef broccoli and chow mein. Came out close to $9. The chow mein I give it a three stars it was not that tasteful but was still good. Beef broccoli also give it a three stars. It was good but little bit too chewy for me. Orange chicken I give it four stars it was really good and I'm wanting to come back again for that.

Amazing food. Good service. Greag portions. This is THE Chinese food takout place in Downey). 4 stars only because recently did the workers have an issue with the breaker not supplying power to heat food. It got kind of awkward and they didn't have enough food for all the customers waiting, even though they had said they'd make fresh orders for us.
