Ordered five lunch combos to go on a Tuesday. Chicken moo goo gai pan, beef with broccoli, chicken egg fu young, sesame chicken, and beef lo mein. Each combo came with fried rice, a spring roll, and crab rangoon, it was a lot of food for $10.95! It was all shared family style among four adults, we had enough leftovers for dinner. We requested low sodium for all of the combos (trying to keep our HTN in check), it was still tasty! There was a good amount of protein in each dish too! My order was ready when they said it would be, 15 min. I was warmly welcomed upon arrival. There's a decent amount of tables and booths to accommodate small parties. Parking can be limited during peak hours. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes! read more

I just received my order via delivery. I ordered chow mein, specifically with crunchy noodles, no pan fried noodles. Not to order. I also ordered chicken fried rice and the rice tasted like fish/shrimp. I also asked for sweet and sour sauce. I received a one ounce portion. Very disappointed. Whenever I eat in, my food is great and to order. read more

First of all, this place really is not set up like a restaurant anymore. I really wanted to like this place as it was good years ago. We ordered drinks right away one water and one hot tea. My tea tasted like it was made with hot sink water with 2 tea bags in it. Yay! I loaded it with 6 Slender sweeteners, so that it tasted like something. My wife got ice water, the same tasted like regular sink water with some ice in it.. We ordered a few things and I was not impressed. My wife just wanted Fried rice and some soup. It all comes in takeout containers, which actually is not a bad idea. It was good, I tasted it. I ordered Pineapple Shrimp and the small number of veggies were not even cooked in the dish, they were raw. I mixed them with sweet and sour and soy sauce to get some flavor in it and surprisingly, it was good. The pineapple was good and the coconut shrimp was absolutely terrible. I ask the gentleman to remove it from table as it smelled funny, Tasted old. He offered to bring me a new dinner, and he did bring me chicken broccoli which was actually very good. The shrimp tasted over cooked and old. I always loved their egg rolls before; they are more like spring rolls and not as good. Not crowded but [only 3 tables used] Lady that cooks, and serves works very hard. Not going back, Time and money wasted. read more

I'm not a fan of leaving one star reviews because I'm nobody special but I will give you my opinion based on the last interaction I've had with this business. Decided to give this place a try after not coming in for years. They've got a table when you first walk in the restaurant that takes up quite a bit of space and has stuff all over the top and the sides and just looks dirty. That is where you will order your food. They've got people eating off of paper plates as dine in customers which I find to be extremely tacky and low budget. After paying a higher price than most of the other places around for food, I ended up throwing out most of the food. Hardly any flavor to the Kung pow chicken, overcooked noodles in the lo mein, just not my style. Once again, I'm one person with one opinion, but I most definitely will not be coming back. read more

Overpriced lunch special, shrimp egg foo young... First of all you only get one patty which is very small with a bunch of vegetables and gravy piled on top... $12.95, That's no special. Found out that Arizona doesn't specialize nor can they really cook good Chinese food.. when an AZ stick to Mexican food read more

3/9/2025 Wife and I tonight. Parking 5/5 Sunday evening rush came after we arrived. Ambiance 3/5 Mr. Chen was one of a handful of restaurants that remained open albeit take service during the COVID lockdowns. I haven't forgotten that and his serving our community. But it's time to get back to regular decor and table settings and save the styrofoam for take home and leftovers. Almost every restaurant has returned to business as usual a year ago. We want the Charming Chen's to return. Service 5/5 Sat immediately, Tea order came to us quickly and order taken. Our made it to the table 5-10 tops. Food 3/5 Sweat and Sour Pork over cooked. Egg Foo Young flavor was off and the White Rice was clumped and not fluffy. Our Egg-Drop Soup was good as were the Spring Rolls. Sunday a bad day to visit? Unknown but our favorite Chinese restaurant is on time-out for now. read more

We enjoyed our takeout. We had cream cheese, wontons, potstickers, scallops with vegetables, wonton soup, and garlic chicken. About the only thing we weren't thrilled about it was the potstickers. Otherwise everybody enjoyed their entrées. It was the typical Chinese experience although the total was $72 before tip which seemed a bit speedy. read more

The food is awful. Fried rice yucky. General tsos chicken yucky. Egg roll soggy. Chao mein was awful. read more

Chens Chinese Restaurant - DON'T GO THERE. THE FOOD IS SO BAD. HAD TO THROW IT ALL OUT. - Chinese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and it is not in the area I normally I'm at. However you can bet the next time I am nearby I'm coming here for fabulous Chinese food. One of my favorites is moo goo gai pan, and this was one of my favorites I've ever eaten. The chicken was tender and very tasty along with the vegetables rice and the accompanying eggroll and egg drop soup. We got a lunch special it was very reasonably priced, with a large portion and it was served quickly. There are only a few booths and tables in this restaurant but we had no trouble sitting down and being served. My dining partner had sweet-and-sour chicken and also loved his meal. read more

I have ordered take out 3 times in the last few months. Each time the food was hot and flavorful. I will be ordering again.

Ordered lunch for delivery. The orange chicken was particularly good as was the house special chow mein. Fast delivery.

There was almost no chicken in my chicken chow mein. They forgot to include several items that we already paid for. When we asked for a refund on those items they said we could have it added to our next order but they refused a refund. read more

Service was good, the food was good, plenty of it. The place is pretty laid back, nothing fancy. I think it's a small mom and pop restaurant. read more

Good food, good service, and good people. Easy to order online and always ready on time!

I have been eating here for over 20 years! Always top quality food! Can't wait to return!

Love the food. Have tried several entrees and enjoyed them all. I have nothing more to add but app requires more words! Lol

Very tasty. Ordered 4 days dishes to go and enjoyed them all with my family. House noodles/mein was delicious! Shrimp with lobster sauce on white rice was great. read more

Excellent Chinese food. Have been coming here for 15 years. Would highly recommend.

My first time here. Ordered food to go. Lomein with shrimp. The Lomein was bland and tasteless. It only contained about 4 pieces of sliced carrots- no other vegetables. Shrimp was very undercooked. Would not recommend. read more

Food was good! People were friendly and service was good. I had a pick up order and will again.

Good is tasty and nice serving size for the price. Take out is great - ambiance is lacking to dine in.

This food was incredibly bad served on takeout foam plates, service was marginal , and the interior was not very appealing, run away

What in the literal he'll! Paper plates, boxes stacked all over, salt and pepper shakers are sticky, bland food... unbelievable! Karate on either side of the restaurant with loud kids screaming, little to no parking. I know they can't control that, but really? It looks like an expensive restaurant, but it's just an overpriced take out place. Poor decision made in going to this place. read more

The Tso's Chicken made my eyes hurt looking for the chicken. all dough and the flied lice was awful. wife ordered chow mein and got distasteful noodle garbage stay clear of this place! read more

We tried this spot after years! Great staff but they provided paper goods for our utensils :/ The food was okay nothing amazing to go back + the price was very pricey for getting served our order all in paper good. If I would've wanted paper goods and to go order I would've just made a to go order and not sat at a table to be then have to give a tip for being served paper goods. read more

Chens Chinese Restaurant - a bowl of soup on a plate - Chinese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Love the food, service is excellent, large portion enough for your next meal. I highly recommend Chens

Been coming to chance for years. Food is very good for the price isn't bad for what you get. It's nice to go to a restaurant that remembers you and welcome to you when you come in. read more

$67.00 of food that no one liked. General Toes and Orange Chicken looked basically the same and there was only the slightest difference in taste side by side. Crab Rangoon says no Crab and they mean not even crab flavor and they were soggy because they were put in the box with no vent so the steam went to work. Special Fried rice - bland. Hot and Sour soup was the most flavorful thing we got. SAVE YOUR $$ read more

Chinese Owned, and locally owned. The owners and employees were nice. The food is aight tho. read more

As others have stated, it's unsettling to be served your meal in styrofoam and paper products. Part of the appeal of a meal is presentation, Chen's totally misses the mark. The owner also decided to make the dining room a storage area with boxes of oil, fortune cookies, cases of bottled water, etc. The take outs are busy and must make up the majority of their business as a hodgepodge of tables are pushed together for carry outs. The food was on the better side. The fried rice had discernible pieces of pork. The vegetables in the entrees seem to be fresh and slightly crispy. The food rates an 8. The ambiance for dining in is zero, hence the 2 star rating. read more

great food drinks i went with my family and we had a amazing time great over all I would recommend

Food was great. Atmosphere was odd. The Staff was wonderful super friendly and helpful.

Chen's knocked it out of the park again, like always!! delicious Singapore noodles with a little bit of spicy kick to them, crunchy crab Rangoon and we tried the chow mein tonight for the first time and that had a nice flavor too! read more

The food was spot on perfect. It's worth the extra price to have it made so perfectly! I had the rice noodles with all the meats in it and broccoli and beef and egg rolls! I would give it a perfect score on food, and prep time and temperature. I picked it up and took it home it was still piping hot! I will go back! read more

I first time here and I will say nice portions. The food was fresh ready and delicious. We've been looking and finally found a clean Chinese restaurant. Yes the was kinda funky inside. But it was clean and the staff was friendly. We had the lemon chicken and Pineapple chicken. Both were delicious read more

We placed a to go order and food was ready at the designated time. Food quality was very disappointing. The platter - beef burned and dry. Sausage in foil was not edible. Mongolian beef was primarily onions. We ordered it spicy; there was no heat. It was just a bad experience and we won't make that mistake again. read more

The noodles with veggies has improved tremendously. They add a nice variety of veggies and you always receive a good amount of food. Neighborhood favorite for Chinese food. read more

My husband and I have come here for years...but had to stop for personal reasons... we recently returned ... I was totally shock! .... First they are now located in between 2 children's karate schools after we sat down we found out that was a bad idea... all we heard is screaming!....then we orders we received styrofoam cups and cans of soda... and PAPER PLATES!...I could have done that if I wanted to eat at home !... so from now on when ordering we will be doing take out !....if at all read more

I'm writing this review as I'm still chewing this gross a** food. House fried rice: Shrimp tasted like a sponge, pork tasted old AF, chicken looked very white and resembled cow intestines. General Tsao's chicken: not a crunchy breading, mild tasted like NOTHING!!! Parts of the chicken tasted like old wings meat or jerky meat. Potstickers + side plain lo mein: surprisingly decent, it gets a star!! I went here based on a co-worker's recommendation. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! Food lacked SALT, its Chinese; the saltiest of them all! Ughhhh..... No duck sauce was given when asked. read more
