First time customer for Take Out....should have Taken it Back. We were hungry for dinner so shut up and ate the Szechuan crispy pork...Crab puffs, egg roll. fried rice. The oddest egg roll about the size of your thumb, limp and tasteless. Rice was lacking in flavor...appeared like they just stirred some soy sauce in. In no uncertain terms do not patronize this restaurant..I cannot understand the positive reviews..have they lost sense of taste due to COVID? Bad joke in Bad Taste!! read more

My bf introduced me to egg foo young at different Chinese restaurants. He told me this place had the best egg foo young. Told him i was born and raised in Hawaii so ill be the judge of good Chinese food. Lol. So far this place has the best egg foo young dish. Also ordered almond chicken, beef broccoli, garlic shrimp with chicken, and kung pao shrimp. All of them tasted good. The eggrolls were smaller than expected. If you order more than 20 bucks then will deliver to you. Overrall the food was good. read more

First and last time eating there. Food had no flavor Sweet and sour shrimp covered with thick tasteless batter Mongolian beef had no taste threw away most of are food. Dons waste your money. read more

Not only did they get 2 of the 4 dishes we ordered wrong, this was by far, the absolute worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. Ordered shrimp egg foo young - received chicken egg foo young. The egg foo young was spongy. Ordered Mongolian pork - got something indescribable and tasted awful. The other two dishes, fried rice and house lo mein, just simply tasted awful. I couldn't wait to eat something else to get the awful taste out of my mouth. Our dog likes the fried rice though. The lady behind the counter was nice. She even repeated what we ordered. But, that wasn't what we got. read more

I don't know. Lots of people say they like it, but I'm not so sure. I ordered food separately and when I was paying I saw a special that could have benefited from. I wish they would have pointed it out to me. If you go on their website, the food looks nothing like the pictures. It wasn't that great. Most likely will not go back. read more

Ordered delivery ($3 extra). Two of the cartons were leaking when it arrived 1 hour later. Asked for NO SPICE for the Shrimp and vegetables dish I ordered. It came with RED PEPPERS, I mean red chili peppers! If that's no spice, I'd hate to see the spicy one. Not editable. Cashew Chicken was better, at least editable but not the best I've had. read more

Ate there Sunday 6/13. Had the orange chicken and the sweet and sour chicken and we have been super sick since eating there, both myself and my girlfriend. I called to let them know and they completely blew me off saying it wasn't their fault but there was nothing else we ate that would have made us sick like this. It has to be food poisoning. Missed a day at work because I was so sick. Wish I could give zero stars. read more

Very good food. Such nice people. A little long on wait time for delivery. But we'll worth it.

This place was honestly very disappointing. I ordered the orange chicken and it was not good. It looked like it was days old, the outside was very crispy which is good but the inside was squishy almost like it was a chunk of fat instead of white meat. I also tried their Kung Pao chicken. It was bland with no flavor whatsoever, the chicken also had these squishy parts that felt so disgusting in the mouth. The part that grossed me out the most and set the mood for the entire dinner was that my plate had a hair on it. I walked out immediately almost vomiting. I do gotta say that the cashiers were super nice and sweet. The tables and floors were very clean. So I give it one star for that! I do not recommend this place and will not be returning. read more

Chen Wok - Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

A simple, cozy little place with big portions that also delivers! The lemon chicken and chicken lo mein were great and tasty. The way they make their fried rice isn't my favorite but still good. We came in about 10 minutes after lunch ended (3pm) but they let us order off the lunch menu anyways which was very nice. Will be going back again or maybe taking advantage of their delivery service ($20 minimum). read more

Absolutely disgusting do not give them your business. I spent 52 dollars on absolute garbage my kids and husband and I took one bite out of everything we ordered and threw it all away that's how gross it was. The chicken was gross. The beef and broccoli was the worst it tasted really fishy and the chicken chop suey had all raw vegetables in it. By far the worst Chinese restaurant I've ever ate from I wish I could get my money back. Definitely took my appetite away read more

Love the food I would definitely recommend the Kung pao chicken with white rice, and don't even get me started about the crepes atleast that's what I think they're called. Definitely only getting my Chinese from here. read more

I am new here to the state and the city. I come from California, and I've been living here for a month already. So I am starting to get to know this area a little bit better. I was craving Chinese food, and seen the restaurant while driving around, and it is really good! I am very picky with food, especially Chinese food. I ordered the orange chicken with white and brown rice. The pricing is fair but what you get for that price is wow. Let's just say my plate wouldn't close because of so much food that was in it. The food was freshly cooked and not just sitting there. I am definitely coming back. Also the owner is out and about helping customers, he seems really sweet! The workers as well are really nice!! read more

Chen Wok - Teriyaki and noodles - Chinese Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

See all

I had a call in order and had to repeat myself three times to get the order correct. When I received the order, it was incorrect. I called to tell the gentleman that my order was incorrect. Instead of take care of me, which I'm a very frequent orderer, he proceeded to argue and say that I'm the one to make the mistake. I spent almost $50 for him to say that I'm the one in the wrong after I repeated my order three times. Very disappointed to say the least. And yes, this was the owner of the establishment. Never ordering here again. There are far too many other Chinese restaurants that will gladly take my business. read more

Pretty much the worst food I've ever had. I ordered pork wontons and not one piece had any pork in them. The house special chicken seemed pretty old by the taste, texture, and appearance. Not good at all. The portion was huge but probably because it was so old and they needed to get rid of it. I was starving so I ate some of it which left me feeling quite nauseous the rest of the evening. I would never come back here again. read more

Gave up buying Chinese food at this place. The food is just not the quality within my expectation.

I order regularly since I moved to the area. Much better than some of thenother choices. Closer to what I use to get in New York

The stars are mainly for the customer service. They get an A+ for that. But I wasn't impressed with the food one bit. I got an order of orange chicken and an order of lemon chicken. Neither gave any impression of that flavor. Both chicken entrees were drowning in a gel like substance. My daughter said the orange chicken had a teriyaki taste to it, and the lemon chicken....well....I can't put my finger on the flavor but I didn't taste a hint of orange or any citrus. It was just like a sugary gel poured over it. I didn't really care for the rice either. If the rice was good, I'd consider giving the place one more try, with different entree choices. read more

Just letting you know me and my husband got food from here and he had the pork and he is throwing up and is very unwell, do better!!

The house chicken used to be so good, but now the sauce is different and it's super salty instead of spicy and savory. Maybe someone new made it this time but no thanks read more

My favorite place for Chinese food. Nice selection from the menu with options for delivery. Prices are very reasonable and quality is unmatched in the area. Will kill for the orange chicken recipe!!!!! read more

The best orange chicken I've ever had, will definitely be back. The staff there is very friendly and efficient. Everything is made to order so you will get fresh food hot and wok cooked every time, it really is the best Chinese food in town. Will definitely be back. read more

I wanted to leave 2.5 stars....this place is OK, not bad, decent. That's all. I specifically asked for the appetizer to be BBQ pork with hot mustard. We got home and had a carton of shoe leather (over cooked pork) in some weird sweet sauce and no cold sliced red on the outside, tan on the inside BBQ pork I kind of think it might have been a language issue. Not sure what happened. The pork fried rice had cut up pink and tan BBQ pork in it, so I am pretty sure they have the cold BBQ pork, but what we got was awful. Awful! The fried rice was the best, the orange chicken was dry but decently good. Once we got over half way through the orange chicken one of us realized there was a bunch of spicy orange sauce on the bottom of the carton.....too late to enjoy with over half the order. I don't understand why it was not poured over the chicken. Oh well. On to the pork lo mein. It was OK. If we try the wok again, I will get the chow mein and see if it is better. The mongolian beef was quite good. So two of the dishes were 4+ stars, two were 2 stars, and one was 1 star. We might try this place again, but wow people, BBQ pork seems hard to mess up. Quantities were pretty good, we did get three cartons of white rice.....not sure why but they were very generous with the white rice. I would say try it for sure, but if you want BBQ pork be very, very specific and then check prior to leaving the wok if you have take out. Good luck! I am going to call them and try to figure out what happened with the BBQ pork (usually our favorite appetizer when getting Chinese food. I hope that was not an offensive term, just mean food from Shezhaun sp? province....ha. sorry!) read more

It's a low key gem. Not really busy decided to try some place new and this place seems good. The food smells good. The owner is very patient and his employees are great. The lady at the counter was/is very happy and pleasant and helpful. I asked if they had a military discount and was told no but would throw in two free egg rolls. Over all its a great place. Would come back! read more

We like the orange chicken. Deffiantly a good good to when we are craving Chinese food.

Surprise for a city of 100,000 people has a lack of good restaurants. Most of the decent ones are chain restaurants that are predictable but nothing great. Chen Wok is an exception to the rule. I have yet to be disappointed by a meal from them, whether it is dine-in or take-out. The owner and his wife are usually there and greet customers like family. Repeat customers will find that they are remembered. If one has ordered the same thing twice, they can usually repeat the order from memory. They do not own a steam table; every dish is cooked to order. They are more than willing to make adjustments to fit your personal preferences. I am a vegan; they will even leave out the egg in their soups so I can eat them. I also love spicy food; I order the Ma-Po Bean Curd extra extra spicy (actually the way to word it is, "As Hot As Possible.") and have never been disappointed. My wife orders Teriyaki Chicken but has a sensitive stomach, so they accommodate her by going light on the sauce. Their menu is varied enough that my kids can order whatever strikes their fancy at the time. Some of the pervious reviewers disparage Chen Wok for being small with "Costco Tables." If one wants atmosphere, then go to P. F. Chang's and pay triple for half the food. Chen Wok is fine example of the small independent American business. They deserve your support and patronage a hell of a lot more than the McDiarrhea's in the parking lot. I gave them 5 stars because of value and quality and taste. I can live without the pretentious of atmosphere. read more

Ordered dinner last night. Food was extremely bland. No peppers or pineapple in the sweet and sour pork, and very little sauce. We threw away the remains, and won't be returning. read more

This is my favourite Chinese take-away in the area. I'm not particularly fussy when it comes to Chinese food - it doesn't take a great deal of skill to make and typically it all tastes the same to me, so I'm basing this review on value for money. You get a LOT of food for your buck here. I'll usually get two dishes and a fried rice and for about $20 I'll walk out with about three pounds of food. They pack the fried rice so tightly into a large container that you almost need a shoehorn to get it out later. Some dishes are quite tasty - my favourite is the pork with black mushroom and snow peas. Some dishes, however, aren't that great. An order of Mongolian Pork would have been better termed "Mongolian Onion" - 1 part pork to ten of green and regular onions and sauce. And as for the Yui Shan chicken, eurgh. Weakly spiced, sludgy, and sweet as molasses - chicken, zucchini, carrot and mushroom. Won't get that one again. Most of the time you'll get your order in 10 min or less, but I've been there when it's been busy and then they kinda buckle and I was waiting over 30 mins. Wasn't a problem that night, but if it becomes a habit.. (shrug) Anyway, better than Big Buddha (Greenway and 303) - way too pricey with way too few items on the menu - and a tiny bit better than Golden Wei (although GW has a larger seating area). Chen&Wok is a tiny place, about maybe 6-7 Costco tables, so it's better to order take-out than sit in there under their bright lights and have dinner while watching Andrew Zimmern eat frog's pizzles on their crapburger 10" telly.. read more

I have order delivery from Chen-Wok for years. The food is really economical, and it comes right to your house. For those of you whom expect food to be sizzling, freshly seared off a wok, be real. This is take-out. Chen Wok separates it fried items from the sauces so you get crispy morsels, with sauce to be poured over them. (For example, sweet and sour chicken. Sauce comes on the side so the coating on the chicken doesn't get soggy.) In all the years I had one item missed (house fried rice), and the owner personally drove it to my home. I've had the owner himself, as well as two delivery drivers (Linh and Justin) both whom were friendly and efficient. Their food is quality. The average deliver time is about 40 minutes. Don't complain, just plan for an extra 10 minutes. Order with confidence! Angela Ort read more

Chen & Not. My orange chicken was ok. I've had much better. It was hot, temp hot, not spicy hot... like so hot I couldn't eat it. Like, I left it in the microwave too hot, if that makes sense. I had to cut pieces in half and wait for them to cool. My husband's mongolian beef was weird. The meat was spongy and just well, weird. He didn't even finish it. Most combo plates come with an egg roll or won tons or something. not her...nope, just meat and rice. The only drinks they have are pop in cans or water bottles and bottled drinks, no fountain drinks. And my can of 7up was only kind of cold. We also saw the owner (he obviously doesn't speak English) yelling at the girl who takes orders. The chinese woman in there was translating the yelling. It was very unprofessional to do in front of customers. We will not return. Bleck. read more

You always know good Chinese food when the people in the kitchen are telling jokes in Cantonese. You know how good it is? It's SO good, when I took my visiting parents, my dad actually stopped eating, went to the counter, and complimented the chef. Now that's good. The best menu item by far is the lo mein. It doesn't matter which one, they have chicken, pork, shrimp, or just veggie. It's not overly oily, and that luscious aroma from using a wok just can't be beat. You feel healthy and naughty all at the same time. Every time I get an urge for good Chinese food and don't feel like cooking, that's where I head! read more

My wife and I have been long time frequenters of all the Chen & Wok locations. We were pleasantly surprised to find this location. We usually go for lunch and have never had a bad experience here. Their dinner menu is a little pricier than it needs to be and that's why I gave them 4/5 stars. I've never had a bad experience at any of their restaraunts... read more

Nice big portions,Great food!! Always friendly... Cant wait to go back. Rice was fluffy lots of shrimp read more

Absolutely the worst Chinese food I have ever had. Egg Foo Young was gross. Looked like hamburger patties and had an overwhelming taste of flour. Each dish had very little protein, and the sauce had a flavor that I have never tasted before. I could not finish my meal and threw the rest out. Would not recommend this to anyone. read more

Worst customer service ever ! I called in my order dude on the phone told me that it was going to take about 10 minutes. I arrived 12 minutes later paid for my food as I paid for my order I asked the girl if my order was ready and she said no even though I saw a bag just sitting on the countertop. She mentioned that it was going to take another 15 minutes for it to be ready. 30 minutes after I placed my order I decided to ask the dude if my order was ready because I placed my order 30 minutes ago. He asked for my name and told me oh it's right here. The same bag that has been sitting there for a while. He had the audacity to asked me if I had already paid for it. Dude didn't even apologize for their f*ck up. I'm never coming back. They lost me as a customer. read more

Ordered delivery and was to my 15 minutes quicker than quoted. Ordered sautéed spicey beef extra spicey. It was excellent. Only complaint is it could have been spicier. No biggie. Egg rolls are tiny but good. Overall I'll order from them again. read more

Look maybe I'm biased because I currently live down the street and I ONLY, I repeat ONLY get 2 things off the menu here. SO I can ONLY vouch for those 2 ITEMS i do purchase. But they make BOTH OHHHHHHHH so good. They have a house speclial FRIED RICE thats BOMBBBBBB ladies n gentlmen. I HIGHLY suggest it. I mean it's so good I write my name on it in my fridge, that good. I also get the egg drop soup WITH cracker thingy's they sell for a little extra $. All in all when I call up to order these 2 items it takes them about 15 min to prepare and I go pick it up then enjoy. Again this is the only 2 items I have ever ate here, Honestly I have no complaints about either thus why I don't change it up. read more

Haven't eaten here in years. Their food is mediocre but they deliver & we are hungry. I ordered over an hour & a half ago. I understand it is Saturday night but really. Thank you for confirming that this place sucks on many levels. Last time I ordered from this place (a few years back) there was plastic in my soup. I thought it was a fluke but called to complain & they asked for proof. This food better be good. I doubt it. Never again let hunger override better judgement. It took 1 hour & 45 minutes to arrive at my house. I will be calling tomorrow to complain. Just as horrible as expected. Every dish was barely above warm. Bland & the chicken teriyaki was hard, dry & teriyucky! Do not eat here! Let them shrivel up, close & allow a good restaurant to open in it's place. read more

Ordered extra spicy but that didn't happen. Fried rice was cold. Expensive to boot. Fake chinese food. Go elsewhere and avoid the disappointment of this hole in the wall. read more

Was here about a week ago. Only decent Chinese restraunt I've found in the Surprise area. I'm from Chicago and was pampered with delicious Chinese delicatessens, so my review may be harsh. You have been warned. I ordered a chicken fried rice, 4 egg rolls, and a Yu-Shan chicken. The fried rice, was below average, looking undercooked, and the chicken was large and also looked undercooked. Not very tasty. The Yu-Shan chicken was decent, not bad, not great, but decent. The egg rolls were tasty, but small (2 for a dollar). The entire meal cost just under 15 dollars (not bad considering the food amount). They have very cheaply priced lunch specials. Ranging from: 3.50 to 4.75. They don't deliver very far.. must be within 3 miles, and charge 2 dollar delivery charge, not including tip. In conclusion: Although Surprise, Arizona may be closer to China, Chicago has better Chinese food ;) read more
