This place advertises their dim sum and if you're someone who doesn't know what dim sum is, then…read morecome here to understand the concept. If you're someone who knows what dim sum is and you know about flavor, then this place's flavor is missing something. Everything tastes a little bland. I think if they added chicken bouillion or even hon dashi to make it more umami, they may do better. Things have salt but not adequate flavor. We've ordered almost everything on their menu to try to give them a chance but each time we just get oily, bland dishes. I wouldnt come here again unless someone really wants the experience. Youre probably better off attempting these dishes at home- perhaps this restaurant could also redo some of their dishes themselves to improve the flavor profile here. Service is your typical Chinese dim sum. Someone comes and pretty much tosses a menu in a no nonsense tone and then comes back once you wave them down. inside has a homey chinese feel. Casual place with convenient parking on site.

My favorite part was the staff, though. They were so friendly and clearly worked well together. We will definitely return! P.S.

The dumplings paired nicely with the vinegar dip. The Dan Dan noodle was in a soup and had a good portion of minced meat. Spice level is good and definitely tastes like northwestern Chinese food. Would definitely go back as our main dumpling place.

There's been a few times I was going to order here, but then backed out. I think when it comes to Chinese food, we tend to get attached to a favorite place, even if you know in your heart that the food doesn't quite hit like it once did. I'm glad I finally decided to pull the trigger. In the past, I would have put Tsingtao house in a category of more upscale, pricier, Chinese restaurant...but these days, even the hole in the walls are pricey! Truthfully, for what I ordered at Tsingtao, I thought the prices were a tremendous value, given the quality of the food is top tier! My recommendation is anything with garlic sauce! So freaking good!

I was visiting family when in town for work, and had eaten at the location in Perinton years ago…read more Decided that I wanted to come back and try their location closer to downtown Rochester. Street parking is available, no charge for that. We encountered construction so we had to drive around for a bit but it was worth it. Seated immediately one arriving, we went with a couple appetizers- my personal favorite, the scallion pancake and the steamed bao with BBQ pork belly inside. That comes two to an order so it worked out nicely. Both were exceptional. The scallion pancake is like no other. Extra crispy, incredibly flavorful- and I love their dipping sauce. Vinegary, sweet and sour. The buns were pillowy soft and the pork belly was tender and full of that smoky BBQ taste. For entrees, we chose the Kung Pow Shrimp and the Singapore style curry noodles that came with shrimp, bbq pork, and beef. Both dishes were plentiful. The shrink was definitely spicy, you can see with all of the red chilies in the sauce, with the peanuts and celery pieces cut on the bias for a classy look. The portion on the Singapore noodles was very hefty...we upgraded our rice to fried rice so we had a lot of food today. All in all, this was an enjoyable visit. Since I am headed home tonight I wanted to be sure I had enough food to last me the rest of the day until I get back to ATL. This place ALWAYS delivers! Support small businesses!

PROS: The food! Everything is delicious--noodles, dumplings, Thai, Chinese, stir fry, vegan,…read moreseafood--all of it. I've both dined in and done pickup. Portions are excellent and prices are reasonable for the area. The restaurant is cute and stylish and the open kitchen is a nice touch. CONS: The notification system for pickups is just plain wrong. We were informed our order was ready five minutes before we arrived and then waited another ten minutes upon arrival. I suspect that I know what this is all about: the moral scourge that is DoorDash. Giving early (and inaccurate) pickup times means that the drivers are there before the food is ready and it therefore doesn't get cold and inspire customer complaints. What it does do is create a waiting mass at the front of the store that then causes the kitchen to rush and--forget your lo mein order. So bummer that. You owe me five bucks, Han. I'm a forgiving sort, so we'll likely be back at some point in future visits to Rochester.

The food has real, traditional spices and bold flavor. Nothing tastes watered down, and everything is seasoned the way you hope it'll be when you order Chinese food. Last time I got chicken fried rice, orange chicken, pan-fried dumplings, and crab rangoon. The fried rice was solid and well-seasoned, the orange chicken was crispy with a good sauce, the dumplings were nicely pan-seared, and the crab rangoon was fresh, crunchy, and hit the comfort-food spot. I've only done takeout, so I can't say much about the ambience, but it's centrally located with decent parking. Inside is traditionally decorated, and there's a giant golden throne in the lobby that's great for a quick picture. Service has always been speedy and friendly, orders come out fast, everything's packed well, and the staff is consistently nice.

We will always go back to Chen Garden for Chinese. It is like hands down the best fried rice we have ever eaten. If you're ever thinking about it just try it and you will not be disappointed.

Both qualities that I tend to like as long as a restaurant is clean... and Chen's was. The food was decent but nothing special. The garlic sauce didn't taste like garlic... More like brown sugar really. The sweet and sour wasn't great either. To be fair, the friends that we went with loved their dinners. The killer was the rude server. We had barely finished eating and weren't planning to linger but apparently finishing our drinks and chatting for five minutes was a bit too much for him. He told us that there were customers waiting and that we had to leave. I might note that there were a few empty tables at that time but even if there weren't that poor behavior was uncalled for. We won't be going back to Chen's.
