Chen’s Kitchen

We were craving some Chinese takeout on New Year’s Day and just moved to the area a couple weeks ago, so we weren’t sure where to go or even what might be open.
Based on Unilocal reviews, we decided to go with Chen’s. The food was great and the portions were huge! Our $ 28 order consisted of two appetizers and two meals and we had leftovers for lunch the next day. My husband’s only complaint was the poor orange-​chicken-​to-​rice ratio, just a tad more rice would have made a big difference.
Service was polite and quick. From what I saw when I picked up our food, I would probably not dine in just based on seating availability and atmosphere, but we will definitely be back for takeout.

Staying in line with the majority of these reviews, I’m gonna go with 4 stars here. The food is pretty good, solid quality. The portions are pretty big as well. The real reason I’m giving this 4, instead of 3, stars is because of the price. You get a large portion of pretty good quality food for $ 6.50 for lunch.
The staff was also pretty nice as well and it had an ‘open’ kitchen which also indicates they’re confident in how they prepare their food (an old tip a restaurant owner gave me from my days as a waiter).
There aren’t a lot of tables (3 tables each with four seats). Looks likely people take to-​go, but the inside is clean and comfortable to eat in.
Thank you for being open on Christmas– helping me follow the Jewish tradition of Chinese food on Christmas Day ;)

Wish places had menus on some site, I searched everywhere, really makes it difficult to place an order over the phone for take-​out. Also not many recent reviews, and what are, seem so extremely different.
Our Thanksgiving is not till weekend so thought we would do this.
But, I’m ordering small and safe till I know, and have a menu.
Also we did just move to this area, and know to learn by friends here, when have some I talk to more, is the best way to know.
And taking it easy here and there.
I’ll be back to let you know!

Best take out Chinese food I’ve had in a long time. Also best in the area by far!

1^st time tonight and we will not be going back.
first– NO HOT MUSTARD??? REALLY???
Pro —
the shrimp egg-​foo-​yung was very good — but really– what Chinese place screws up anything egg foo-​yung?
Sort of pros
The spicy moo-​shi was very different, but was ok and was actually spicy and I’ll eat the leftovers. But the «pancakes» were bizarre, not like any moo-​shi pancakes I’ve ever had before.
Eggroll was really odd but I’ll eat it.
the vegetable fried rice — while it had nice vegetables– was just about tasteless– leftovers might get eaten-​might not– we’re not sure yet.
Cons–
the hot and sour soup was neither hot nor sour– it had almost no taste at all– couple spoons each and we tossed it
the crispy orange chicken was neither crispy nor orange flavored — after a few bites each– we tossed it
the boneless spareribs were greasy and flavorless– 1 each and we tossed them too.
$ 50.00 worth of food — what a waste of hard earned money–

What got me first was how clean the place was. There wasn’t that heavy fried food smell or grime anywhere. So that was quite impressive.
The food although not terrible wasn’t much to write home about. I ordered the sesame chicken, chicken fingers and crab rangoons. The best comparison that I can give you is that the food reminded me of mall food-​court food.

This place is great. Delicious food and quick service. We «yelped» local restaurants and this had nice reviews. We tried several different choices and all were good. The beef lo mien was a little dry for my taste but was good. Don’t think you’d be disappointed if you tried them.

We have three Chinese Restaurants 2 – 3 miles near our home. We choose to drive the extra miles for Chen‘s! Their food is worth the drive. They also offer a healthy option in their steamed vegetables wuth shrimp, chicken or beef. Fried food has never been greasy.

Excellent good, fast service! Friendly ! Please give them a try! You won’t be disappointed!

This is a much better than average Chinese take out restaurant. The ingredients are fresh, with abundant crunchy veggies and without the goopy, briney sauce prevalent in most Chinese-​American dishes. Everything tastes homemade, and the serving sizes are huge. Yum!

You know what I like about Chen’s Kitchen? The veggies are always fresh and abundant. It might be a bit divey but lunch here is always great. I’ve had multiple lunch specials and haven’t been dissapointed yet. From kung pao to cashew chicken Chen’s has been excellent. Clean place and friendly staff. Even through this nasty winter.

You know, I had heard amazing things about this place. Turns out, wasn’t really impressed. I did end up trying something I’ve never had before, maybe I’ll give the place another try with something I usually eat for Chinese food.
The sesame chx I received was super fatty, there was more fat the meat. The white rice was a little undercooked, and the egg roll was tasteless. It wasn’t even busy it was a Tuesday evening…
Only thing I enjoyed from the meal was the crab rangoon… Just disappointed, but then again when other people say «it’s amazing» you expect the best

This is by far the best Chinese take out around! and i want to emphasize take out! this is a small take out but does have about 5 or 6 tables. For the price you cant find anything better. The specials come with a great variety of things and give you a chance to try a lot! I would also say what ever you get you have to include a side of their Chinese 5 spice wings! OMG AMAZING! Hands down the best Chinese take out south of boston!

I’m not giving Chen’s 5 stars only because — let’s face it — it’s a takeout dive. There’s no excuse for the generally run down grubbiness of the place after only a few months open. There are two tables with a couple of uncomfortable looking mismatched chairs for each. That being said, the grubbiness stops at the counter — the kitchen is open and clean. Go for the delicious food, take it away to eat at home or the beach and sate your Chinese food jones with good stuff. The food stands out for fresh preparation, nice seasoning and a great menu selection of tried & true plus some a few nice surprises like rice noodles and Pad Thai.
Pork fried rice — dry, not greasy, delicious ($ 4.50 small, $ 6.50 large). Shrimp rice noodles– a huge order ($ 7.95) had about a half dozen big shrimp (cooked surprisingly perfectly) on top of delicately seasoned rice noodles, also cooked perfectly, not sticky. An appetizer order of chicken wings ($ 4.75 small, $ 7.95 large) was a big, overflowing box of 8 huge wings, all three joints, crispy and not at all greasy. My only quibble, having to break down the wings and throw away the tip. Marco Polo — some slices of beef, a few shrimp and lobster sauce that was more pork than sauce — yummy! All atop nicely seasoned lo mein noodles.
BBQ boneless ribs ($ 4.95 small, $ 9.00 large) surprised me as well, as most of the pork was cut almost julienne sized which I really liked — no chunks of tough, unchewable pork in the order.
Very fairly priced, (again, surprisingly) good food, nice people behind the counter, too. On a busy Friday night at 6:00pm the kitchen was flying, the phone ringing nonstop but my order was ready and waiting in the promised 10 minutes. I’m a believer, I’ll go back and try some all day special combo plates ($ 8.55 to $ 9.25). There are the usual cast of about two dozen luncheon special plates ($ 5.25-$ 6.00) that come with pork fried rice and an appetizer for an extra $ 1.75. Also all day plates ($ 6.25-$ 6.75) another couple of dozen that come with white or pork fried rice. Seriously, if you can’t find a combo plate to suit you out of about 60 choices, you’re too picky and you should stay home and microwave a Lean Cuisine!
FINALLY — good Chinese food in Cedarville/​Sagamore without having to drive over to Way Ho’s and face the traffic circle of death!
