3.5 stars for the food and 5 stars for the price. Chens Kitchen just opened not too long ago located at the plaza where Walmart, Krispy Kreme, Chipolte, WAWA gas is located. So yes you have options just in case. We were hungry after some Christmas shopping at Walmart and walked over to Chens. Chens Kitchen is a small Chinese restaurant. Better for take-out but since they are freshly open, the store is nice, modern, cute and has blackboard like wall with writing on it that can entertain you as you wait for your food. They only have 5 tables; 3 inside and 2 al fresco. You order at their counter and then wait for your meal. Prices are good. Meals range from $6 to $17 more or less. Very affordable for a plastic white to-go container full of food. I went for lunch and took advantage of their lunch specials; $6.95. Jalapeno Chicken - thin chicken strips with different peppers and few jalapenos. On the menu it says spicy but it was far from it and so I was disappointed because I like spicy. Comes with pork fried rice that was ehh OK and an egg roll that was good. The overall flavor is good, it just needed the jalapeno kick that I was expecting. This meal should be called chicken and peppers. Chicken Lo Mein - Basic Chicken lo mein; chicken and noodles with veggies, pork fried rice; again ehh ok and an egg roll. They need a bigger variety for drinks. They have a refrigerator that you can open and grab a drink but the options are few. They only have some basic sodas, water and ice tea. They should carry more variety and having some Chinese sodas, drinks or products would kick Chens Kitchen up a notch. Service was fine, nothing out of the ball park, they are new and they looked busy trying to get the flow of things. I will try again because it was decent and the price was good for a quick nothing fancy lunch.

The cashier never looked up from his phone and shoved my CC receipt at me one handed while he played games on his phone

Food: Greasy Service:Poor Cleanliness Alright Price: Pricey for quality I walked in and the guy working the counter didn't look up from the game he was playing on his phone. He glanced up and I asked to place an order. He asked if I was picking up sesame chicken. I said no I wanted to place an order. He looked annoyed and barely put his phone down. His earbuds were in and he kept saying,"what?!" while I tried to order. He even picked up his phone while I was mid order to continue whatever raid game he was playing. I asked for two combo dinners and when he repeated back the order he said white rice right? And I said no I said fried rice, again he looked annoyed. He then told me the price and to drop my card in the box. He went back to playing his game one handed and literally didn't look at me again. He shoved the report paper at me. When I signed and placed back in box he didn't look up. He didn't give me a time to wait he just proceeded to the corner while chatting on his earbuds and playing his game. When my food was up he pushed through the box barrier and finally looked up to say, "everything good?" I grabbed my food and left. When I got home the general taos was not xspicy as I had asked, it was actually not spicy at all. The chicken quality was rubbery. My wings tasted as if they had been fried in old oil and they looked grayish rather than a nice red brown like I had in the past at other chinese takeout spots. The rice was okay. The best part was the wonton soup. Overall a disappointing experience and I will not be returning.

Shares busy, chaotic Super Walmart parking lot. Small inside seating area, table also outside on sidewalk. Quickly greeted and order taken. Order was ready after brief wait. Lemon pepper chicken wings were good, well seasoned & crispy. Brown rice with combo meal was so-so, undercooked. Beautiful bold wall murals.

Here's the phone number

It's new it's clean and definitely ahead of many take outs. The menus are on HD monitors rather than the usual menu style. The wall is dressed in artwork. I ordered General Tso dinner with pork fried rice and egg roll. The chicken was perfectly crispy and sauced well. It's not spicy at all and not too sweet. The fried rice was nearly perfect but needed a little more flavor from the oil. The rice had onion and sprouts which not many places use sprouts. My least favorite was the egg roll. It was something about it that I just really didn't care for. I would definitely eat here again especially if I'm waiting for a few hours at Walmart for my car to be ready.

I came here for the first time today I got the honey garlic chicken meal The chicken was fried good and they put the sauce on the side which I like so the chicken won't get soggy The pork fried rice they could've kept it .. I'll give it a -1 star I also got the crab Rangoon which is the reason for 2 of the three stars it's a little more than what I usual pay but it's the best thing I've order Overall will I come back I doubt it (probably for the Rangoon) Would I recommend a friend I doubt it

Really good Chinese food, wings can get a little soggy if not asked to fry them hard. Great prices. Clean environment.

It was terrific. Glad to see that it is still good ever since the '90s. We had a 7pm reservation…read moreon a weekday, it was busy - buzzing, and our waiter was a bit befuddled. But he was knowledgeable and polite. Things got much better halfway through the meal, as people thinned out. Food was exceptional.

Now I have to admit, when my butcher recommended their "crispy steak," the idea of a fried steak was NOT particularly appealing to me. But I decided to give it a try anyway, and I was pleasantly surprised! The prime New York steak is only lightly dusted with water chestnut flour, so it's not heavily battered or greasy at all. It just gives the outside a gentle crisp while the steak itself stays perfectly tender. It's thinly sliced and served with sautéed peppers, onions and cabbage in a garlic, soy and burgundy wine sauce. Really, really good! I ordered mine to go, and I have to mention their packaging because I don't know WHAT kind of magic they're doing with these containers, but my food is always still super hot after the 10-minute drive home. Not warm--HOT, like it just came off the stove. I definitely appreciate that with takeout. While I was waiting for my order, I also took some time to admire the many awards displayed throughout the restaurant. Rainbow Palace is clearly an award-winning restaurant, and judging by that collection, they've been collecting accolades for YEARS! The Crispy Steak does cost a pretty penny, so this isn't exactly your inexpensive neighborhood Chinese takeout. But the quality of the ingredients, preparation and portion definitely feel a step above your typical takeout spot. Another delicious meal from Rainbow Palace, and apparently I need to keep working my way through their menu!

Had such a good time and was guided by Ingrid, all her recommendations made my visit even better. She explained me about the best two options, she recommended belly pork and beef, so I were for beef because I thought it was healthier, I found it amazingly. I also ordered a bubble te, this one is not a Taro. It's called ube, which is also a purple root... flavor was sweet. The restaurant was clean, the decoration had hanging dragons, pictures and designs inspired by the Asian culture. Next time I'll probably try ramen. They have chino Latino arepas too!

He was happy to answer questions and really took the time to make sure I knew what they offer. Additionally, the restaurant was very clean and well kept. I came in because of the Yelp experience, but the welcoming service and great customer experience definitely made me want to come back and try more.

And I don't say that lightly. I don't think they had enough exposure, but the food was always so fresh, full of flavor, and the portions were huge for the prices. It was an incredible value. There's really no other place around that compares. :(

It's in a different type of location -- a very small strip of businesses with only a few spots in front -- in the middle of a residential location. We were driving by between lunch and dinner and decided to stop to bring some food home for a later meal. When we stopped by, we got to meet the owners and chef. They were both very welcoming and friendly. He told us about some special meals and made suggestions. He was preparing some blue crabs for his own lunch, and they looked wonderful. You can get some special meals here, off menu, if you preorder. We went with a couple of our usual choices so we could see how they compared. We ordered some pork with Chinese vegetables and an order of Singapore rice noodles. Plus, for me an order of egg roll. The rice noodles were such a large portion that it filled two containers. And we wound up eating several meals from our take home food. The eggroll was very good. I ate one right away! There were two to the order. It had a different crispy wrapper -- it seemed house made. And it was filled with larger bits of meat. I really liked it. There was a lot of large flat pork slices in with the vegetables. In a brown sauce, there was broccoli, bok choy, pea pods, etc. It came with a side container of white rice. The rice noodles were fragrant with curry, but it only had a slight kick (as in not too spicy). There were lots of shrimp, chicken, and pork strips mixed in with the thin noodles. This dish was addictive. We are so glad we stopped to try them. Really one of the better Chinese places we've tried and certainly one of the better take-out places. Wish they were closer, or we'd be there more often.
