    Most unappetizing chicken chow mein I have ever received.
    Angela M.

    I ordered chicken chow mein and they gave me boiled chicken with veggies. No flavor or noodles

    Chicken and vegetables with low mien.

    When I am in the Rowlett neighborhood, I always pick up some Chef Chen to go. They serve some of the best Chinese in the area. They have great lunch prices and the portions are enough for two servings for me. It's a good size restaurant with booth and table seatings. The staff is friendly and they whip up to go orders very quickly. I love this place.

    Very yummy! Service was fast and friendly! The orange chicken is my recommendation, but the beer and broccoli was also very good.

    Delicious food I ordered !! Dessert here is also ahmaaazing !!!!!

    Chef Chen restaurant is in a very convenient location near UPS store and the barber lounge. Lots of tables, and very kind, great service! I ordered a bunch of dishes, the Kung Pao chicken, pepper steak, chow mein and the fried rice. All dishes came out fresh and excellent !! The egg rolls are so good, they were freshly made and very crispy and tasty. The prices are reasonable and everyone who works here is really friendly and sweet ! I would like to return because there's so many different dishes to try !!

    Terrible never coming back again took a bite of my food and had a long light brown piece of hair in my mouth from the food. I have black hair... they would not refund me unless I took the food back for proof.

    Chef Chen. Their takeout business is insane! I am always amazed how much food they are serving out of this restaurant! Eggrolls are good . I get the spicy Szechuan chicken and it lasts me three meals!! I also get a bowl of hot and sour soup and it is pretty tasty.

    Very good food. I get the Dragon and Phoenix, but other things I've gotten are also good, like the Shrimp Fried Rice and the General Tsao's.

    Food was fresh and great. I had the Kung Pao shrimp and the flavor and spice was perfect. This place is definitely worth checking out.
