first the place looked clean in dining room. no outside signage that was visible Order as take out and fairly fast but entire place empty at 5 pm Round table for 2 $25.00 take out entire meal went into the trash Chicken overcooked then deep fried in a coating that was hard as nail Rice was horrible appearing to be either reheated or steam table. How anyone could give this fake Chinese any kind of positive rating must be culinary deceased. No expectation Of ever returning or recommending. read more

A fiver for Chan's ... because I have respect for longevity. Restaurants don't last for decades, especially in small tourist towns with notoriously high turnover, by accident. This family has been making this food for decades. It's not fancy, fusion, uppity. It's traditional American Chinese comfort food that the locals have been eating like ... forever. That's why we tried it. That's why when we're in Silverton we're be return customers. read more

Chan's Restaurant - Sugar - Chinese Near Me - Silverton, Oregon

Should have read reviews before going.. it was disgusting .. sesame chicken had no sauce and when I asked why there was no sauce they said to use the little red sauce container witch is the spicy sauce for bbq pork . Waste of 24 bucks threw it in the trash. The rice was not fried and it was over cooked and soggy and had a brown look to it like they cooked it in soy sauce to give it appearance of it being fried.. the egg roll had jelly in it not fresh. Not sure how they are even in business read more

See all

I ate here for the first time today. The waitress was friendly and attentive and refills on my soft drink came quickly and without having to ask for refills. It was also apparent this restaurant has a local following as the waitress was chatting very amiably with a group of what appeared to be locals (I'm not) and greeted some by name. I ordered a bowl of Won Ton soup, an egg roll and the three meat Lo Mein. The egg roll - it was hard to recognize what was in the egg roll and the flavor was bland at best. Furthermore, the roll appeared heavy on the wrap. Not recommended at all. I love Won Ton soup and this soup was a bit difficult to love. Kudos to the waitress for knowing exactly the size of the three bowls, but the soup, while appearing to look very good, wasn't. The won tons themselves weren't bad - not overcooked or anything like that and had plenty of contents and had good flavor. It was the the broth in the soup that was almost flavorless. I ended up putting a fair amount of salt, pepper and soy sauce in just to give it some flavor. Had this broth had a rich flavor, I'd rate this soup fairly high. But not to be. Last and certainly not least was the three meat Lo Mein. Had I just ordered this dish, I'd probably rate this restaurant at least a star higher or possibly more. There was a good mix of noodles, vegetables and meat. The dish was not excessively greasy and had a good flavor. Let me put it this way, it was good enough that I got a take-out box for what I didn't eat. So overall, based on what I've seen, this restaurant is okay, but I've definitely had better. There are some dishes that appear to be decent and some that could decidedly use some work. What those dishes are is anyone's good guess. Lastly, the waitress took care of the bill in a timely manner. Service was definitely not an issue and all the staff I interacted with appeared to be very friendly. Some other reviewers have indicated a cleanliness problem - definitely not noticed. Everything was clean and well kept. Parking was easy on the street too. read more

Egg roll was greasy and full of a mush like substance? Was not made with fresh ingredients. General Tso chicken tasted like tomato sauce and had very little heat or flavor you would expect. The search for good Chinese food continues. read more

This place is a disaster. The Mongolian beef looks and tastes like dog food. If I could rate it negative stars I would. Every time I go there it's worse. It's absolutely vile- I wouldn't send my worst enemy here. They should be ashamed but I don't think that will ever happen. The few times I've gone in there has been not a single customer at lunch hours, this can attest to how much they suck. I'll be surprised if they last long. read more

Chan's Restaurant - Mongolian beef - Chinese Near Me - Silverton, Oregon

My wife and I had the pleasure of stopping by Chan's with my wife on the way to a dance and I am so glad we did the food was delicious, and the egg rolls were different but "oh my God" they were the best egg rolls I have ever tasted and I have been to a lot of Chinese restaurants. It was nice and quiet I could hear myself think, absolutely loved it thank you..... read more

Most of the time we really enjoy this food. Last year we had a mother's day special and it was awesome. Servings are plentiful, or waters stay full and overall, it is fabulous. There was one time that wasn't great, but hey, every one has an off day :) read more

Haven't been here in a few years. Don't know if they changed owners or just changed the way they did business but it's really clean now and the food is really good, seems fresh and clean. I was not ok with the old way this place was, with Asian food especially you can taste a dirty kitchen in its food. If the front of house details are dirty and grungy then you know the kitchen is shit. This time around I'm happy to say that it's great! Front of house is super clean. I came between lunch and dinner on a winter Sunday. Very slow. Just FYI read more

Terrible service. Here's my vent: On Friday, July 28th my friend and I came to this establishment at 2:00 pm for lunch. My friend was getting his favorite plate, Lo Mein, and I was excited to eat my favorite dish, sesame chicken. No one stood to greet us at the host station, so we stood there for a few minutes discussing how empty the lobby was. Once seated, the waiter was moderately pleasant. Brought out our waters and appetizer in a timely manner, all was well. Then our food came. My order was for a #5 combo: chicken lo mein, sesame chicken (which was the only thing I wanted), and sweet n sour pork. My friend ordered a #4: golden fried shrimp, chicken lo mein, and sweet and sour chicken. As the food was set on the table I noticed the "sesame chicken" wasn't covered in the usual sesame sauce, and it looked veeery similar to my friends fried shrimp. I called the waiter over to voice my concern, explaining that I thought they confused our orders and brought us the same plate to which he adamantly denied, telling me what I got was in fact their sesame chicken. I explicitly pointed at my plate then my friends, asking for clarification that one was sesame chicken and one was fried shrimp. He assured me that I received what I had ordered. Thinking maybe their sesame chicken was just dry instead of coated with sauce, I accepted my place. After finishing all but one of the pieces of "chicken", I bit into the last one and the deep fried batter fell off half of it, exposing- surprise, a piece of shrimp. Setting my silverware down, I pushed away the plate. Once the waiter came back to the table, before I could say what had happened, he saw the plate, and said that his father must have mixed the orders up. He offered to make me some sesame chicken, but since my plate was nearly finished I was finished eating and just wanted to leave. No offer to comp the plate, nor discount on the order. Nothing. By the way, I've had yelp for over 3 years and this is the first time I've had service so bad I felt it necessary to leave a review. Caution if you choose to come here. If you do, stick to the lo mein, it was pretty tasty. *Update* Went to Happy Garden 5 miles away in Mt Angel the next day to curb my craving for sesame chicken. Absolutely amazing! Highly recommend, if you're hungry for delicious Chinese go here read more

Recently I've been to Chan's twice, both times the food was really good. Yes the atmosphere is too bright and they haven't had any music, so you have to listen to people eat. That being said, the "happy family" dish has a wonderful flavor of grilled beef the permeates the al dente veggies that accompanied the dish. My kid had the typical combination plate, but the deep fried shrimp was not overly breaded and the sauce was not overly sweet. No leftovers in other words. The 75 cent upgrade to pork fried rice is recommended and worth it. Taste-wise the only complaint I had was the hot tea, it definitely left some room for improvement (try jasmine!). Overall good food, good service, and a great value considering the low prices. read more

Love supporting local restaurants and wanted so badly to like this place but the food and quality just wasn't there. Largely ignored by the hostess as well. read more

So far the WORST Chinese food I've ever had in my life. Safeway's American-Chinese (which isn't good) food has more flavor than here. Their Sweet N Sour chicken was mostly tempura batter with the SMALLEST piece of chicken in each on, and on top of that, the oil they fried it in must've been old because it tasted like it hadn't been changed for a week! The pork chow mein had barely any pork in it. You would've thought I ordered it without pork if you saw it. The only way the food had flavor is if I SMOTHERED it in the provided sauces. Without that, it was dry, bland, and disappointing. read more

This was the nastiest food I have seen at a restaurant in a long time. All vegetables were frozen and heated up. Their "sweet and sour chicken" was fried chicken (including just the wing) and smothered in bottle sweet and sour sauce. read more

This is Silverton's secret Chinese-American restaurant! My family and I always go here and it is a real treat. The service is fantastic, friendly and fast. Call ahead-pickup/take out is available, and they serve a very tasty Oolong Tea. Definitely a nice treat! read more

Has been around the quaint little town for around 30+ years. Travel from Portland several times a year to get the beef curry and egg rolls which I cannot find anywhere in Portland's Asian restaurants. My kids love their pork noodles and I order my usual beef tomato with pan fried noodles. Family owned and operated for decades. Great service and price. read more

I've been going to this place my whole life. I live in San Diego now, and it's a must have every time I come into town. I love it!

Been going here for years, fantastic food. The least greasy Chinese food I've been able to find.

This review is only based on food as we've only had takeout. I have a hard time giving it any more than 2 stars. I can't give it 1 either because we didn't get sick. We've tried Chan's three times and the food just isn't good. It's either bland or tastes like burnt oil. I guess if sometime in the future I decide to try it again and it tastes better, I would change my rating. But for now, 2 stars only read more

I have lived in Silverton for more than 40 years, long enough to know that Chans is a restaurant that is in dire need of help. I know there are a few locals that love this place, but for the life of me I cannot figure out why. I have tried their food over the years maybe four or five times and I have never come away satisfied. Tonight, was my last attempt. I brought home three dishes and all three of them were absolutely terrible. The vegetables were overcooked, and the egg foo young unpalatable. I cannot figure out how this place stays in business. If you want tChinese food go to Mount Angel's Happy Garden. read more

Chan's has been serving the Silverton community for 42 years and is, by far, my favorite restaurant in a town that has many restaurants. Chan's has a very big Chinese and American menu. My favorite menu items are the Happy Family which is a variety of meats and vegetables with black bean sauce or garlic sauce, and the walnut shrimp which has candied walnuts and butterfly shrimp on broccoli with a sugary sauce. The portions are generous and the prices are very fair. The staff is so friendly and very helpful. They also have banquet facilities that can serve a large number of people. It would be perfect for class or family reunions, birthday parties, or Christmas parties. Recently, Chan's has done a great update of their restaurant and banquet room giving the building a new spaciousness and lighting fixtures that are very contemporary. Chan's is one of the participating restaurants for which Grub Courier does home delivery of restaurant orders. http:/www.grubcourier.com Whether you eat out or eat in at home, you will get the same delicious meal,nice and hot and ready to enjoy. For those who like to stay connected while they dine out, Chan's has wifi for use by its customers. . read more

Classic Chinese/American restaurant serving recipes from the 50s. Not the best Chinese we've had, but very edible and pretty inexpensive. We will definitely be back, and often. Oh, and the host was hilarious. read more

Chan's is a family-owned Chinese restaurant. They have a full menu of Chinese and American items that also include senior meals for those over 60 and junior meals for young children. In addition to the regular menu they also provide lunch and dinner specials on weekdays and a 10% Senior discount on Tuesdays. This is my favorite place to eat because I can always count on delicious food served by a friendly staff. It's a warm and welcoming atmosphere that is top-notch. read more

If you love authentic Chinese food... don't go to Chan's. It's a little better than the La Choy stuff my parents used to make me eat, but not much. Lots of locals love it because they grew up on it. Me? Not so much. read more
