CS5. Orange Beef
Marie B.

I'm a tough critic when it comes to Chinese/Asian takeout . Around there, they are a dime a dozen. Whenever I'm trying one of these spots for the first time, I order my tried & true "sampler" combo: a meat dish, a noodle dish, fried rice, and an appetizer. Turns out, Chen's Kitchen got an A+ across the board from me. - The orange beef had a coating that was thick enough to add a bit of texture & absorb the sauce but thin enough for the meat to stay tender. - The lo mein noodles were perfectly cooked and the chicken juicy. It was fresh, not oily, with a great ratio among ingredients. - The fried rice was the perfect texture, neither too mushy nor too crispy, and thankfully not overwhelming in flavor nor veggies. - The steamed dumplings had both a delicate wrapper and a meaty filling... expertly made, if you ask me. - All the portions were generous! We ate til we were stuffed and still have plenty of leftovers. Would absolutely order from Chen's again.

Amazing hole in the wall restaurant! The food is always hot and ready quickly for a great price and is always delicious. This is my new go to Chinese restaurant for sure!

I was SO sad because I found Chen's last year, it became my favorite, then I couldn't order from them any more. I've been checking every few weeks to see if they were reopened or closed or what was happening. Lo and behold, I checked and called and they're open!!!! I quickly ordered on UE. The food is the same as it was before. Good, hot and flavorful. I love this place!

New owners. Fold is not the same. Damm this sucks. Really wish the old owners wouldn't have sold during covid. The new food is not the same. Should probably give 1-2 stars but I'll give 3 bc they are nice. Food is totally different.

I originally chose a Jamaican spot across the street from here but they were closed, so instead of driving anywhere we went across the street, and placed an order. No matter how much salt, pepper, soy sauce, duck sauce and sweet n sour sauce I added to the veggie fried rice, it was still flavorless. I was so hungry but my hunger was not satisfied :/ customer service was good and food selection was there but I was expecting better quality food for the price we paid. Not sure if I would return to try the veggie lo mein. The egg rolls were really good tho!!

Dishes like Szechuan Spicy Chicken is still one of my favorite, and Garlic Snow Pea Leaves are delicious when in season. Bamboo House still holds its place as great spot for group dining. The portion is generous, prices are fair, and overall a solid restaurant that's still worth recommending.

Richard and Cameron do an amazing job in the kitchen--everything is always fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. If you're heading to an event at the Toyota Center, China Garden should be your automatic first stop. The convenience is unbeatable, and the atmosphere is always warm and inviting.

Highly, highly recommend!

My friend Aurora wanted to meet Donna early dinner and gossip session and she really liked this place. (We tried having a team lunch at the Rice Village location during the cold front last Oct but they had no heat so we opted for a warmer place but she grabbed a to go on the way home) Here we are for a late lunch 3:45 pm on a Friday. Parking was none had to drive around the block and saw some movement and bam, someone was leaving. We ordered at the bar, staff was super nice and opted to sit outside. Did not realize they deliver to the table. Order: Mongolian beef combo with fried rice and egg roll $14.99 The food comes in takeaway style containers. Win. Mongolian beef (2.5/5) - slightly over sauced for me; beef was pretty tender and there were carrots and edamame which is not the standard so maybe that's what makes it fusion? Fried rice (3/5) - standard style fried with small pieces of bean sprouts which I love so that was a nice surprise Egg roll (3/5) - I assume it was chicken because I didn't realize there was a choice) - it was crunchy and soft on the inside which I like, and pairs well with sriracha (did not eat till I got home) They seem to do a whole lot of take away. The staff were nice and hard working. I was excited when they first opened bc they had chow fun on the menu and being HK Cantonese, I love that dish but when I ordered it the 1st and 2nd time eight years ago instead of bean sprouts they had cabbage and that alters rhe flavor tremendously. I see why it's popular among the people but just don't think it is for my taste.

She immediately asked what we wanted in a rude tone, which set an uncomfortable atmosphere from the start. There was a sign on the table advertising a "free appetizer" if you take a photo and tag the restaurant on social media. I followed the instructions exactly as stated, but when I mentioned it, the server initially refused to honor the promotion. After I pointed out the sign, she appeared upset and walked away. I saw she went to speak to another employee and cracked a smiled and looked over. She later returned and offered a small discount instead. The issue wasn't about the money or the discount, it was the principle. The promotion was clearly advertised, and I simply followed the restaurant's own policy. It was disappointing to feel like the restaurant was reluctant to honor something they were actively promoting. I hope management addresses this because customer service and consistency with advertised promotions make a big difference in the overall dining experience.
