Chen's Bistro

We ordered the orange chicken, vegetable lo mein, and sweet and sour pork. Lo mein and orange chicken was great. Sweet and sour pork came with the sauce on the side. I like the taste of the fried pork, but wasn’t a fan of the sweet and sour sauce. The food was pretty good, and the price was decent so we would definitely go back if we’re craving Chinese food.

Good portion sizes, fast service. the Crab rangoon is very good, light and crisp without being oily. the steamed dumplings are the best in a 40 mile radius with a tangy and sweet dipping sauce. Their vegetables are fresh tasting and not overcooked. They also will allow you to ask for extra ginger, garlic, etc. The spring rolls are small, but still nicely cooked.

First time at this location, ordered a combo platter of hunan shrimp and hunan chef’s special. The fried rice in the platter was not jasmine rice like traditional fried rice but of the short grain thick variety. The fried rice didn’t really go with the hunan shrimp so that’s why I gave Chen’s a 4 rating. The Hunan shrimp was pretty good though.

MY FIRST TIME. This Restaurant Came Highly Recommended. I Specifically Told Them it Was My First time there and Needed Recommendations and Help Ordering... To which No Reply. The General Tao's Chicken was Not spicy but Very Sweet... Too sweet. I was Never Asked an Option for Mild or Hot. Quality of the meat was poor and was Covered in the Fried Tempura Batter. The Orange Beef was Awful, Off Putting and Tough. Extremely Hard to Chew and Swallow. The Beef, if Any, was as thin as, and looked like (Pale gray) And Tasted just like Cardboard. This too was also Covered in Tempura Batter. There were Small Circular pieces of Fried Orange Rind. Very Bitter. The ONLY food item in this Dish that Was Eddible was a Fresh Slice of Orange. I Ate it to only to Cleanse My Pallet. The Crab Rangoon was Crispy, but, the Warm Cream Cheese Sooo Much Sugar it was Unedible. I Struggled to Find the Flavor of the Crab. The Shrimp Egg Rolls were Small and had Only 2 Extremely Small Shrimp inside. The Others (Chicken and Pork) lacked Any Flavor. I could Not tell the Differences. Having Milled Over and thinking that Just Maybe this Entire Dinner was a Once in a Life Time Screwed Up Mistake. My Urge to "Take Out" or Try Again was Extinguished by the Price I Paid ONCE and Not to Loose My Money Again on LUCK.

I’m sad to write this but I just wanted to share my experience from Chen’s Bistro in Kenosha. We ordered dinner from Chen’s last night and as I was eating my food I found a big piece of metal hiding in it that I did not see until I felt it in my mouth. I called Chen’s to let them know what I had found in my food just for them to tell me “it happens”. The lady explained to me how they clean their woks with a metal device and sometimes pieces fall off of it but she could write down my phone number for my entree to be replaced if I wanted.... After hearing that “it happens”, it made me feel very uncomfortable eating here again and the thought of how bad of an outcome this could have been if the metal were swallowed. My intention of calling Chen’s was to inform them of the incident so that it wouldn’t happen again but instead I hung up feeling uneasy on how something like this just happens every so often and they are not concerned for their consumers well being because “it happens”.

This place is amazing, clean, amazing, awesome, amazing, delicious, amazing……. Did I mention it was amazing? The food is NOT greasy. It tastes fresh and…. You guessed it… AMAZING. Decent portions but I have a football build so you smaller folks should be alright. Great place, great food, great location. Excellent.
