I was absolutely thrilled to stop into B.M. Chen for lunch it is truly one of the most exciting culinary finds in Toledo! My assistant and I were looking for something with a bit of "soul," and this place delivered in the most sophisticated way. The atmosphere is lovely, with a spacious and inviting feel that is perfect for a proper lunch. What I truly adore is their commitment to authentic, traditional Chinese preparations. While the menu has all the classics one expects, the execution is remarkably elevated. The service was simply impeccable; the staff is incredibly helpful and attentive without being overbearing. I decided on the General Tso's Chicken, and it was an absolute revelation! The flavors were vibrant and perfectly balanced truly a 5-star experience from start to finish. If you are looking for a refined spot with top-tier service and genuine flavors, this is it. I am completely enamored and will certainly be making this a regular haunt! read more

B.M.Chen Restaurant - Prefect General Tso Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

I don't know enough about Toledo Chinese cuisine, but this is better than most as compared to MI. Food, quantity, takeout, service, quality all very high. Price point is VERY fair. We've been here twice now. None of the dishes disappointed. We order off the authentic menu. They even have a "special" authentic menu that is seen only when you enter the restaurant. I think they are Cantonese. They don't skimp on portion sizes. Dishes are flavorful. Authentic menu is indeed AUTHENTIC. We asked 1 - low salt, 2 - low oil, 3 - no MSG and these preferences were honored. They even called back saying one of the dishes was a bit heavy in oil so that we could potentially order something else. They called us when the takeout order was ready. The Midwest needs more restaurants like these. If I lived closer I would come way more often. Best of all you get this for a very fair price point. It is not the inflationary/expensive price for low-quantity sub-par asian food you see now-adays. Come here if you are near the area. Ambiance is average and unassuming, like most great Chinese restaurants! read more

BM Chen is quickly becoming our go to spot for Asian food. They make our second favorite egg roll in Toledo and I haven't had anything I didn't like from the menu thus far. Food comes out extremely fast and the staff are more than willing to offer up recommendations. read more

1-30-2025 While the ambiance is no frills, the food is very good, especially off the Chinese menu. We ordered gyoza, mapo tofu, and Bok choy with beef and devoured it all. the steady stream of take-out is a testament to yumminess. read more

B.M. Chen Chinese American Restaurant is another hidden gem only to be found here on Yelp. Thank you! I have been in search of a good Chinese food go-to since moving to the Sylvania area 2+ years ago. This quest is now resolved. A very unassuming standalone business on the corner of Airport Hwy and Reynolds. Not much to look at, but the food is off the charts good! We started off with Wonton and Eggdrop Soup - both were very good. My eggdrop soup was probably one of the best I have had. Dinners ordered: Vegetable Deluxe Chicken and Seafood Treasures Clay Pot. As you can see in the pics, my meal was a huge success as there wasn't anything left behind but a few grains of rice. I didn't want to totally embarrass myself by licking the plate clean, but I did pause, and give it some thought. As far as ambiance, much the same as the exterior, unassuming. B.M. Chen allows their food to do all the talking. Enough said. Will definitely be back when we get a craving for Chinese food. Very well done! read more

One of the best in Toledo. Unassuming restaurant with delicious options. A large menu sure to satisfy your cravings. I love the pork with chili and pepper. They offer a wide selection of hot pots and I love they they offer fried fish options. Friendly family service. I've tried many meals and haven't been disappointed yet. They are about to open for inside seating again read more

In town for a quick trip and found this gem. The food was flavorful and the beat Chinese I've had in a while. Wish this was near Cincy!

Their lunch special is delicious,I believe it was the chicken with vegetables,good value.

Don't let the outside of this place fool you. The food is full of flavor and amazing. Highly recommend the General Tso's Chicken.

One of the best, most authentic, Chinese restaurants in Toledo. No frills, basic dining area but the food is always amazing. It's extra for the fried rice and an egg roll but it's worth it. The service is fairly quick. They do a lot of takeout orders, but I enjoy eating the food there while it's fresh and hot, read more

The food and service is excellent . The ambience is somewhat lacking. I recommend you order off the Chinese menu to get the most authentic version of their food. read more

We randomly stopped here on a road trip but the food was so unforgettably amazing and fresh that we deliberately stopped by again on another trip, never mind we added extra 45 minutes to get here. it was worth it and more. Beautiful food, beautiful people. Thank you! read more

Satisfied our taste for Chinese in Toledo. Yelp reviews guided us to this spot. Housed in an old former restaurant but clean with good seating. The pork and eggplant hot pot was top notch while General Cho chicken tasted a bit too much like sweet and sour sauce versus the way it generally does. The won ton soup was very good. Heavy take out business! Definitely will return on future visits to Toledo. read more

This is the place!!! Thx to all that gave a heads up to order the salted shrimp. Brilliant dish and I actually detest salt. But here the shrimp is cooked in the salt to seal in the juices and flavor (similar to a Middle Eastern dish I've had) and the result is the most succulent and flavorful protein you could ever imagine. I could only eat 2 pieces of the huge shrimp with rice regrettably but the remainders are in my fridge and I can't wait to smash! This is a dry dish but don't get nervous. Order it exactly as they recommend and you won't be disappointed. It also comes with a soup choice. I got the wonton and it was delicious too. Great flavor on the broth and perfectly cooked wonton read more

Great food, reasonably priced and attentive service. What more can you ask for? Enjoyed the eggplant with pork entree, and have also had the beef and broccoli. Egg foo young is ok, but not to write home about. Wi ton and egg drop soups both good. read more

Don't let the exterior fool you, the food here is delicious! We ordered the Hot & Sour soup with comes in a shareable size with plenty for 4, Orange Chicken, Chicken and Broccoli, and Mongolian Beef. This was plenty to share amongst 4 with white rice. There was only one server for the entire restaurant but he was very efficient and everything came out just as we ordered. Our new favorite Chinese restaurant! read more

The salted baked Shrimp is very good. Worth the drive from Canada ! I have been here about eight times.... can't wait to come again ! read more

The food here is the best I've found in the area so far. Came in here for a lunch before a trip and was very pleased. Almost a diner atmosphere, but that's ok too. They are closing for 2 weeks in July, so we have to wait to get take out. Service is great. read more

12/14/24 The place I usually get Fried rice was closed. Googled Chinese restaurant and pick BM's because of 4.5 rating. I see why it has that rating.

Been coming here since they opened in 2013 Stand alone location in a former LJS on Airport and Reynolds. Owner was a chef at Flower Drum and loved his cooking and when he started B.M. Chen's I followed him there. Good authentic Chinese food. Very reasonable prices. QQ and B.M. have the best Chinese food in Toledo. A friend of mine whose parents are immigrants from China, and knows fluent Chinesse was very impressed with the place and they have a special menu in chinese and he ordered off that and was really impressed and loved being able to practice his Chinesse with the staff read more

The service was great, but the meal was so typical that I could've been eating at the mall.

This Chinese restaurant is the best in town! I ordered fish fillet in chili oil, house special duck and Hunan dry chili chicken. They are DELICIOUS! It's my first go-to chinese place now. (Due to covid, they only accept phone order and pick up from outdoor. Give them a call before you go!) read more

Friendly front of the house staff. Food is mediocre. Not much flavor other than salty. Steamed dumplings were good. Egg rolls are like chopped grass with no flavor. read more

Food is authentic and delicious. Service is fast and friendly. I consider this as the best Asian restaurant in Toledo

This is my go to Chinese takeout spot! The food is always fresh and crispy, and they have some great traditional dishes. The service is fast without the sacrifice of the quality of food. My favorite dishes are the salt and pepper fried pork, pan fried noodles, eggplant with pork, and their sweet and sour fish soup. Would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Ordered takeout. We ordered orange chicken, Szechuan chicken, fried rice, and crab Rangoon. None of the dishes were actually good, the crab rangoons were greasy and came with no sauce, fried chicken was dry, and the orange chicken was syrupy. read more

Great local Chinese food. Was very encouraging to see the very busy takeout business they do!

While in town visiting my family for Thanksgiving, my Mom brought me to her new "favorite" Chinese restaurant. We came by on a Tuesday night for dinner and there were a few people seated throughout the restaurant. They have an extensive menu with a variety of chicken, seafood, beef, and vegetable options. There were noodle dishes, soups, hot pots, etc to pick from. My Mom swore by the Szechuan Singapore Noodles - thin street noodles with a variety of veggies and meats mixed in. I tried hers and it was delicious. I opted for the beef brisket hot pot with soft tofu. The beef melted in my mouth, it was so tender and juicy. They definitely give you a lot more tofu than beef but it still had great flavor. I think I would have enjoyed my Mom's dish a lot more than mine. The wonton soup that came with my dish was alright - the broth had a strange sweet taste to it. For Toledo standards, this place is not that bad. But coming from California, where there is a plethora of high quality Asian food options, it was average. read more

Fast service, really tasty authentic Chinese food. Would recommend the Eggplant with Pork and Hunan Dry Chicken One of the best Chinese restaurants around. read more

The most delicious Chinese food in town! On a Saturday night at 6:30 they still had my food ready for pick up 20 min after I called. Love the general tso's, veggie fried rice, vegetable spring rolls, and more. Delicious, fast, kind workers and right in the middle of town. read more

It's actually kinda low key five star for a Chinese takeout spot. Like you will find the overall quality to be very high. Not the frozen general Tao nuggets. Like real chicken and rice flour. Authentic. Chinese menu as well. Hunan dry chicken was hitting, Thai style chicken banging, and beef with preserved vegetables was doing it. Seafood soup was definitely fresh and my mom that doesn't really like fish really liked it. It has seaweed in it if you like it. read more

A pleasant surprise wrapped in a nondescript package. You have driven by a million times if at the intersection of Airport and Reynolds, but it's worth stopping in at least once to try some really tasty Asian treats super reasonable prices. I would recommend just about anything on the menu, and the hot and sour soup is quite good! read more

DEAR TOLEDO NATIVES...HELP ME FIND THE BEST CHINESE IN TOWN. Because while this was alright, it certainly can't be the best (I hope)! Ordered the General Tso's lunch special because you can always tell if a Chinese place will be worth another visit based on this extremely important dish. Also multiple reviews have commented on it being good. But...it really wasn't :/ the sauce was sickly sweet (why is there pineapple in here?! this isn't pineapple chicken!) and not nearly spiced enough, the chicken tasted so floury/doughy and honestly just odd flavored and not juicy at all...it wasn't good! Who is thinking this is amazing? Did I come in on the wrong day? I've traversed many cities and tried numerous fast food Chinese places and this has got to be one of the least appealing General Tso's, which is something fast food Chinese shouldn't butcher. However, the fried rice and egg rolls here are actually delicious. And I usually HATE the fried rice and egg rolls that come with Chinese dishes. So great job to making the side dishes amazing - wish the entree would follow suit. Did I try the wrong entree? Any other recommendations? Do tell! (My flavor palate is more salty not sweet) also, can anyone comment on how this compares to YaYa or some of the other Chinese places? I really want a staple Chinese fast food place to get me through my next few years here... HELP APPRECIATED!!! Thank you! read more

B.M.Chen Restaurant - General Tso's - Chinese Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

I was coming back from Detroit, and was craving some Chinese food like no other, so I decided to try this place out. I called right at 11 when they opened (yes, I was desperate) and ordered the General Tso's lunch special with a large side of the egg drop soup. The girl who took my order and who I talked to when I went to pick it up was very polite and friendly, exactly what customer service should be. Since it was a lunch special, it was cheap (although not as cheap as some other places) so I have no complaints about the price. With the lunch special, I got a good sized serving of chicken, an ok serving of rice (wishing there was a little more), and an egg roll. My soup was pretty big, which I was happy about. I tried the egg drop soup first. It was only okay, not bad or anything but I've definitely had better at some other places. Next, I tried the egg roll, which was great! Definitely the best egg roll I've had in Toledo so far, and I'm not even a huge fan of egg rolls. The rice that I got was ham fried (standard for the lunch combo), and it was really good as well. The chicken, however, was much better than most places. I loved it, the sauce wasn't too sugary or generic, and it had a nice kick to as well. Plus, the chicken was fried perfectly, which makes it that much better. Next time I go back (and yes, I plan to go back soon), I want to try something off the authentic Chinese menu, which I've heard is really good, especially for Toledo. read more

This was the first time we've eaten here. The food was amazing. The general tso has a nice sweet flavor and the egg rolls had the perfect light breading. The rest of our party really enjoyed their food as well. Definitely coming back!!! read more

Best Chinese food in Toledo. The meal started with a complementary bowl of peanuts that were so good, we ordered two pints to go. Authentic chicken in a hot pot was delicious! We highly recommend but it's only listed on the Chinese menu so a photo is attached. Charming waitstaff told us that the chef trained in Hong Kong. We'll be looking for reasons to return. read more
