Chen's Kitchen

Went to this spot after noticing it on a drive and decided to check it out. Not only does this place have a great selection, but the food is also of good quality, given the prices. The staff is friendly and accommodating and there are options for everyone. I highly recommend getting your takeout from them. They did not disappoint and I hope they do not in future visits as I plan on visiting them again and soon

Went back a few more times to try out the lunch specials. Sauteed shrimp and chicken (good) and chicken with blackbean sauce (not so good - very light), hot and sour soup (not so good - pretty mild), and egg drop soup (ok - again, pretty mild). In the end, we'll keep coming for the general tso's chicken as well as their fried rice - both still terrific! We heard about this place from our son's friend who lives nearby. In these tough times, I figured it's nice to spread the love across the local family run places. We ordered our standard dishes: General Tso's chicken, mushu pork, steamed vegetables with chicken, eggroll, and because they offered free pork fried rice or soda, we picked the fried rice. General's chicken was a bit of a letdown. Normally, I expect the sauce to be kind of thick and the chicken, when freshly made, is still piping hot and crispy despite the sauce. But the sauce here was a little thin and the chicken was kind of mushy. The mushu pork was the unremarkably good kind accompanied by the thin wrapper and a small thing of hoisin sauce. Hard to get wrong and thankfully, they didn't. Similarly, the steamed veg and chicken was as expected. My son reported the eggroll as satisfyingly crunchy and tasty. The surprising winner was the free pork fried rice. It had that wok-hay flavor that you just can't replicate at home. It was full of small but meaty pork chunks (and not all gristly). I'm definitely going to try the house special fried rice next time. I hear the Sinagpore maifun is pretty good there. Looks like we'll be going back!
