fresh everything 10/10 for me , the food was amazing and honestly cook to perfection. I would come again

The owners have sold the business but new management has kept the name. This used to be the best Chinese takeout on this side of town. I'm sorry but the food i got from the new people was not up to par. I wouldn't order from here again read more

The restaurant has a new owner now, and the food is still really good. They have egg foo young now, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was fresh, hot, and flavorful. read more

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. read more

Our experience with the take-out at Chen's Kitchen today ( 29 Jan 2026) was a massive letdown, especially when you're banking on a "tried and true" favorite. There is a specific kind of heartbreak that comes with biting into a nostalgia-filled meal only to find it's been replaced by a "budget" version of itself. It sounds like Chen's might be falling into the trap of cutting corners--a move that usually signals a change in management or a desperate attempt to keep margins up while quality takes the hit. Why That Experience Missed the Mark: The "Gaslighting" Egg Roll: To be fair, most American-Chinese "egg rolls" actually get their name from the egg in the wrapper dough, not the filling--but the total absence of pork is a dealbreaker. If it felt like a large spring roll, they likely swapped their recipe for a cheaper, vegetable-only filler. When I called them to let them know that we receive spring rolls, they insisted that they were indeed pork egg rolls. These were not the same same egg rolls they served in the past. The "Fried" Rice Fail: Fried rice without the egg is essentially just seasoned steamed rice. It's the "soul" of the dish, and skipping it (along with the low quantity of veggies) is a classic sign of a kitchen rushing through orders or skimping on ingredients. The Sweet & Sour Chicken: It was over-fried and dry. Over-frying usually happens when the kitchen pre-fries the meat in bulk and then re-drops it in the oil to warm it up for your order. It turns "crispy" into "cardboard" real fast. The Verdict When a restaurant continent with the low-quality food they serve, the writing is usually on the wall. It's a shame to lose a reliable North Houston staple. read more

I had eaten here last year and liked it but tonight's food was not good. There was no flavor in the lo mein or fried rice and no vegetables or egg in the fried rice either. Everything was dry and seemed overcooked or reheated. We were looking forward to treating ourselves to dinner and instead were very disappointed. read more

The best Chinese food hands down!!!!!!!!! Great customer service as well!! Don't walk run there!!!

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! read more

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! read more

The food is pretty good but I'm I the only one noticed they'll be permanently closed one day then the next day opened.. It's highly strange and makes me think something illegal is going on .. Either you're permanently closed or not it's no in between.. read more

this establishment is very dirty and unhygienic. They will yell at you for using the restroom if they think you're not buying food. after seeing a rat practically run in circles around the kitchen, I knew I would never step foot in there again. Tell your workers to have more class and basic human decency. this place deserves a -5 star review in my opinion. Not to mention the lizard sized roaches in the restroom. it would be a shame if they got payed a visit by the health department. read more

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. read more

Best Chinese local spot! The food is always cooked to order regardless of what you get. I've tried the orange, general tso, sweet and sour, fried rice, lo mein and egg rolls. All things have been delicious and lunch prices are great for the servings. All portions are generous. Service is quick and very friendly. It's a great neighborhood gem that I frequent often. Try it today! read more

Delicious food, quick service, and super consistent! I love ordering my takeout food from Chen's! It's only takeout but that's okay since it's always better to eat at home! read more

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!! read more

Very good prices and the chicken wings are big and cheap. If you like chinéese food. A must try! I live around the córner and totally forget it's their! recommendations read more

I ordered the sesame chicken via doordash and it was fast! I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food but sometimes I have a craving. This spot will likely be my go to bc they use white meat chicken pieces. I enjoyed the egg rolls and the cream puffs too, the plain fried rice not so much. read more

Curry chicken w/steam rice was ok Fried chicken wings was good Wonton soup wasn't the best read more

All I have to say about this restaurant is the food taste like it came straight from China always fresh always hot! The dishes I recommend the mango chicken and the jalapeño chicken it's always delicious service is fast and friendly! I highly recommend this restaurant the lunch specials are killer. Great job keep up the good work! read more

Normally, they are our favorite Chinese restaurant. But, today, we had a problem. The dish we ordered is listed as butter shrimp. We imagined a seasoned shrimp bathed in a savory butter sauce, but instead it is a sweet, glazed shrimp on top of crispy noodles. There is no description to warn people about what they're getting. Very disappointing. read more

Ate here again because I try to support local businesses. The steamed pork dumplings were quite good. I really enjoyed the Singapore noodle fun; it was tasty and a large portion. Quite a few onions. Next time I'll ask to have them left out. Ordered the special fried rice. It was so bland. None of the meats had any flavor. I was disappointed in that. I shouldn't need to drown fried rice in sauce to make it tasty, which is what I had to do. It's a shame the meat hadn't been seasoned or allowed to marinate. That should have been enough flavor to not need to add sauces. But then again, this is America and Americans love saucing things up. How I miss the authentic food in China. Food was delivered quickly and was still quite hot. Even though I stated this was a meal for 4, they only included flatware and cookies for 2. Literally drew straws for who got fortunes and those 2 had to eat with spoons. Sounded fair. Eating noodle fun with a spoon is quite an experience, to be certain. read more

Everything was very tasty and fresh! The portions were nice size for the price, will definitely eat here again.

Okay so the lady who owns this business is awesome. She's so sweet and SUCH a hard worker. The food is good, the beef lo mein is delicious, a little oily but very yummy and lots of beef in there. The mango garlic chicken is strange.. doesn't really taste like mangos, it's yummy but don't really feel like it fits the name. Won ton soup needs some work, had a soapy flavor? The fried rice (so far I've had veggie, chicken, and pork) are rich and flavorful. The beef and broccoli is very good and broccoli isn't over cooked (love that!) the crab puffs are so so and I'm not crazy about how oily the egg rolls are. The pork potstickers are good, oily, and flavorful. I would eat here again, for sure, but it's not my FAVORITE. All in all I give it 3.5 out of 5. read more

Amazing. Food is cooked fresh and made to order. Chef Chen personally came out to check on food quality.

Always consistent good food! So fast and so friendly! We love coming here. You will not regret it.

The food is amazing always fresh to order and they have great customer service my recommendation would be get the house fried rice well done no peas and carrots "those don't go in fried rice" lol but everything is always fresh and delicious my only go to on the northside of Houston read more

Chinese food is my absolute favorite. I have been on the search for the best for a while now. Well, I think I have finally found it! The food here is delicious and flavorful and the prices are very reasonable. Generous portions and a great variety of menu options. The thing I can't stand the most about other places is getting my food only to discover it is mostly just veggies with a little meat. That is certainly not the case here!!! Tons of meat and an appropriate amount of veggies in my opinion. Chen's Kitchen is now my go to for Chinese!!! read more

Great food, i will be dining here again. One of my new favorite places to eat. I highly recommend this place. Stop by and give them a try. I'm sure you gonna love it like i do. read more

I was excited, they are close to where I live. I had the wings, lemon pepper, order of 8. So I thought I was going to get 8 wings, but they cut the wings in half, so it's not a full order. The flavor was good, but I'm thinking, when you go to the store, you don't get it like this! I don't know if I will try them again! read more

This place was easy to find and they were friendly and fast. The food however was just okay. Edible but not something I will buy again. We ordered pork potstickers, beef lo mein, sesame chicken and fried rice. The potstickers and the dipping sauce were GREAT! Best dipping sauce I've had. All the other stuff was weird... lo mein had too much oyster sauce in it and made it "fishy". Sesame chicken was like a sour ketchup and it was a very small portion of fried rice for the entree. read more

Wife went there for dinner and ordered their house special Fried rice, she liked it so much that she had to bring me there to try it, I ordered fried noodles instead of rice.I'd say she is right, the food was very decent for the price. Big shrimp lots of meat. Good service too! I see some bad review saying the place was closed, I think it was due to the change of management. Anyways I would recommend this place for people who wanted a quick lunch, dinner or just being lazy to cook like us ;) read more
