Came here for lunch on a Friday to try out their dumplings. Parking is small and they share it with a couple of businesses around. We were lucky and found parking. The place is small but can seat a lot of people. Service was great! We were greeted immediately and got a table quickly. Ordered the dumplings and they are delicious. We also ordered chicken skewers and its wings on a skewer. They were crispy and delicious. We ordered the Chongqing Spicy Noddle soup with egg noodle and it was really good. Very spicy! read more

This is one of those places you would have know to come eat here. Can't really see it driving down the street. Well came here for lunch, nice chilly day and light rain, hot noodle soup dish sounds awesome. Nice small restaurant with friendly staff. Ordered spicy beef with rice noodle. Bowl came out pretty fast and of course as I expected noodle was not "just boiled" chew to it. It was not soggy but it didn't have the chew I like in my noodle. Don't get me wrong it was not bad, I would have waited little longer for fresher noodle. Broth had pretty good flavor and it's not spicy hot but it did have a mouth numbing schezwan pepper spice to it. I think this is one of two Chinese place I came with dish this mouth numbing . Noodle bowl was pretty good over all with good portion of meat and some veggies. I would come here again and try some other dishes. read more

One word YES!!! I work in the area. I have to work in office one week of the month. After work I'm not feeling going home cooking, long drive, plus annoying drivers equals go sit relax and get dinner. Tempe native here and Tempe has always been a foodies paradise in the Valley. It consists of diverse cultures which means various ethnic foods. So yes Yelp to the rescue what to eat? Hmmm let's see Chinese the out of town review win me over. It has late night pickup; cute, quaint, and not fancy. Review photos did it for me the person went all in on how good it was in her review. Why not try it. They have buns and dumplings; I feel like a little kid Drooling. Yes I got both bomb. I'm going back very small parking but worth the drama to get there. Next time may Lyft or Waymo from work & then back to avoid the drama of Tempe traffic & parking. Fluffy Grandma recommends. read more

The service was good her. We ordered pork soup dumplings, combination chow mein and beef /porjdumplings. Everything was delicious and authentic. My total cost was around $55. I'd go back again. Affordable splurge for the college crowd. Authentic family run restaurant with Chinese/English written menu. read more

Great spot for a late night meal offering a lot of options such as noodles, rice and dumplings. I ordered the chow fun here usually and it's good. My most recent visit I ordered the spicy beef noodle soup with chili wontons and I would get that combo again. The noodles can be chosen as egg or rice. The beef was really tender and soft. I highly recommend this place. read more

They offer very authentic Taiwanese/Chinese food here. My husband and I love it! The flavor may be just a little bit too plain for average US taste, but it would be exactly what my taiwanese mom would like, The people here are so nice and welcoming, just like a family! The ambiance is a little old styled, but kept very clean. Absolutely a keeper! read more

Chen's Noodle House - Noodles Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Chen's Noodles may be tucked away in a sketchy-looking plaza with limited parking, but don't let that fool you--this place is a hidden gem. The owners, who seem to have a Taiwanese background (you can tell by what's playing on the TV), run the restaurant with warmth and hospitality. My go-to order is the rice noodles and their signature dish: steamed chicken with chili sauce. The portions are generous--I can never finish everything in one sitting--so I always take half the chicken home and use their incredible chili sauce to make my own noodles later. The owners, a friendly Asian uncle and auntie, are always so kind. They go out of their way to offer extra soup for the rice noodles and greet every customer with the warmest smile. I've even spent holidays like New Year's and Chinese New Year here, and their food never fails to bring me comfort--it truly feels like home. By the way, don't forget to ask for a punch card from them! read more

Consistently great food at a solid price. I go for the braised beef noodle soup(order it spicy and get the chewy noodles) as well as the soup dumplings. The service is pretty fast and there's lots of seating. They are also perfect for night cravings as they do have late hours. It's a cute and clean little place. read more

Chen's Noodle House - braised beef noodle soup, Soup dumpling/ - Noodles Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

We drove 30 minutes to eat here and arrived right at 11:00. We were told there would be a 20-minute wait, so we sat outside for about 16 minutes since we weren't allowed inside. During that time, another guest was also told "20 minutes," which made me double-check. Only then did staff tell us the chef hadn't even arrived yet and they had no idea when service would start. That's incredibly frustrating. If they had communicated that upfront, we could have decided whether to wait or leave. Instead, we were left sitting there with no updates and had to go ask ourselves. The issue isn't the wait--it's the lack of communication and basic courtesy. read more

Came here to try the lamb skewers and it did not miss! Has nice mix of meat but also juicy fat to provide richness. Chongqing noodle was solid and I would get again. We requested to get this spicy and they accommodated. Interested in getting beef noodle soup next. XLB was classic and comes as a 10 dumpling portion The staff were really nice and attentive. read more

I may be new to Yelp, but I had to write a review about my experience from a couple of weeks ago! I absolutely LOVE Chen's Noodle House! I showed up with my boyfriend kinda late, craving authentic asian food, and I got exactly that with the nicest customer service ever! I highly recommend the Beef Chow Fun and the egg drop soup, although my boyfriend says that their Orange Chicken was super good as well! Next time, we will be eating inside because the restaurant reminds me of going to Chinese food restaurants as a child with my family! Great decorations, and even a fish tank. As I said before, I loved it! read more

Food was really good!! The service was amazing too. They're very attentive and are very quick!! Will definitely come back soon!!

if you've never had the lamb skewers from Chen's Noodle House in Tempe, you're seriously missing out. This spot is my go-to for spiced lamb. You know how lamb can sometimes have that gamey smell if it's not prepped right? Yeah--none of that here. The flavor is on point, and the meat is super tender every single time. I also really love their sour potatoes and the eggplant dish--both are bomb little sides. They've got a bunch of other options too, but honestly? I always go back for the lamb skewers. Like, they're that good. read more

The parking lot was a bit small, so biking there might be a better option for college students. Once inside, the restaurant turned out to be much larger than expected, with interesting Chinese paintings adorning the walls. We tried a variety of dishes including noodles, dumplings, fried rice, and drunken chicken - all of which were flavorful and served in generous portions. We visited around noon and found the restaurant to be fairly empty, likely due to the summer break. It was nice to enjoy a peaceful meal without the usual crowds. What impressed us the most was the reasonable pricing for the amount and quality of food we received. Good portion sizes and tasty dishes at such affordable prices are hard to come by these days. read more

Was craving some legit Chinese and had seen this place pop up online. Unlike most places that get featured on some foodie instagrams, this place didn't look like it was all about being cute and the food looked more my style. When you get there the menu is what you imagine at a legit Chinese place, written in both English and Chinese. It's kind of hard to picture a lot of the items if you're not already familiar because there's not many pictures or much of a description. With some help from the women working there I ended up choosing the spicy beef noodle soup, the soup dumplings, and chow fun in XO sauce and added chicken. When i got the soup I could smell the Szechuan peppercorn in there which I love and was exciting for the mouth numbing experience. The soup was tasty, and the beef was super soft. As first you might think it's going to be a bunch of tendons in the meat, but not at all. The dumplings were also delicious and done well. I unfortunately was not a huge fan of the chow fun but that's completely on me since I had no idea what I was really ordering. Knocking a place down because I didn't like it would be wrong. If you're not familiar, XO sauce is a bit seafoody in flavor and there was no way I was getting through that whole plate of it. Overall, great authentic food. You can tell that the family running the place works hard and I can appreciate that. read more

I happened upon this restaurant when looking for a meet up with a friend halfway between Scottsdale and Queens Creek. What a Gem! I encourage you to check it out and make it a regular. An elderly gentleman served us, very kind and always smiling. One fun part, He and my friend both spoke the same dialect of Mandarin. So they had a lovely chat. Really, so authentic was his heart, the food-- delicious. We had the Indonesian or Taiwan Beef Noodle Soup - Very Good and I highly recommend. The restaurant was very clean. read more

I should have been to this place sooner! I hear about them but I was worried about traffic/parking around the campus. I did delivery order and I wanted to do this every Friday. The fish is so tasty with some kinds of salt and pepper sauce with lots of chili. The pickled celery on top of rice is surprisingly good and addictive. The black rice porridge is tasty with a little bit of sweetness. I need more bowl please. read more

Friday night dinner spot! The place is easy to find and although the parking is limited, we were lucky to find a spot right away. The place itself is functional and has your condiments ready at your table. The staff were very friendly and the food came fast! The xiao long baos were delicious and the soup and the filling was so good. The lamb skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the fried rice a lot with a nice heat and strong flavors. The noodle soup was also great: the noodles were soft and chewy, the soup was awesome but very spicy. The kind of spice that builds up! The owner stopped by to say hi which was very nice of him to do so. Everyone made sure we had everything we needed. read more

I have heard of this place for years but never got around to trying it. Decided to go in the summer while it is less crowded because there are less college students around. I know that it will make it easier to find parking since it's such a small lot with a very limited number of spaces. I don't know where I would park during the school year when there are simply more people around because there's not a ton of spaces around the vicinity...unless you're walking some ways away. But, if you get to make it inside, it reminds me of a lot of small owned Chinese restaurants I've been going in my whole life. We ordered the beef noodle soup, one spicy and one plain. One of us ordered it with rice noodle and the other with egg noodle. The menu defaults to rice noodle which I think is different but when we ordered, they gave us a choice of rice or egg. Quick note: get the rice noodle. The egg noodle was subpar. Both soups had great flavor - you can't go wrong either way. The spicy soup broth had nice spicy flavor rather than just being spicy and numbing. The rice noodles had a nice bounce/qq texture - makes this dish a little different than most places that have beef noodle soup. The beef was also great! It was too tough or dry. It had nice marbling of meat and tendon - great cut of meat for this soup. It was also cut to a good thickness that complemented the dish well. Service was great and prices were reasonable. So happy to have this as an option close to campus. You can tell the owners work hard and take pride in having this restaurants and it really reinforces that it's businesses like these I want to support! Give them a try! read more

i went to this spot yesterday with two other friends, it was our first time there and we were completely wowed! hospitality was great, the elderly man and woman were so super sweet and patient with us! the food was absolutely delicious, very flavorful! we ordered the wontons with chili oil, combination chow mein, cucumber salad, soup dumplings, stir fried string beans and the spicy beef noodle soup. they were all a 10/10! the ambiance felt very nostalgic, they had jazz music in the background which was truly the cherry on top! unfortunately we didn't take any pictures because as soon as the food came we dug right in. this was our first time here but definitely not the last, prices were great, chen's noodle house is a must! read more

I've been meaning to try this place for a while. It's in Tempe and I normally stay around the Biltmore area, so I opted to drive over after arriving into town. The chongqing noodles are amazing! It was cooked well and the flavors were good. My only complaint was the bok choy was ice cold, it was probably cooked ahead of time and not reheated properly. The spicy fish is good but the catfish flavor is a bit strong. Will try to return again! read more

Really good! Especially for Chinese at 1030 pm! Service is always great! Love to look at the Chinese calendar when dining inside!

This place is a must!!! If you stop by in AZ, give this place a go! During our stay, we went to this place 3 nights in a row! Yes, it was that good. First, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are just right. Next, the place opens pretty late, so you can grab a bite when your cravings call. The service is also top tier, as the food comes quickly after you order. But the most important question: how does it taste? Well, let me just say...it's pretty frickin' good. Every night, we ordered the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup and the Chili Wontons. The soup was incredible, as it was light yet flavorful. We were pretty sick but could still taste the beefiness of the dish! The noodles were perfectly cooked with a nice thickness and chewiness. We also ordered a side of extra vegetables which consisted of sweet, crispy cabbage and broccoli. As for the chili wontons, the sauce was so tangy and spicy, I dipped the rest of the food in it too! Not only did the restaurant master these two dishes, they have a variety of other diverse foods to choose from as well. We also tried the BBQ potatoes, chicken wings, lamb skewers, and eggplant. Each dish turned out perfectly charred with a touch of smokiness from the grill. The dim sum was also tasty and good value, as it came with 2 different types of dumplings and 2 fluffy steamed buns. If you don't like the food from here, you've been getting the wrong stuff. This place is flavorful yet comforting, and easy to digest for the troubled folks. The interior is pretty nice, as you can enjoy your meal in a calm, clean space. The restrooms are clean as well. Lastly, I can't forget to mention the hospitality of the people. They were always nice to us and even remembered us when we came back 3 nights in a row! The sign outside says "HELP WANTED", so if you're around and need a job, you could get hired by them! Man, I really wish this restaurant was close to where we live, because I'd be coming back every day. Chen's, you guys rock! I'll come back soon! read more

We came here for lunch and there was limited parking spaces in the small parking lot. There were some people inside of the restaurant. The menu had a lot of choices but we narrowed our food to the Steamed Dumplings ($6.99), the Rice Noodle Soup with Beef in Taiwanese Style ($10.99), and the Stir Fried Eggplant in House Sauce ($10.99). We waited a few minutes before the Steamed Dumplings came to our table. They tasted okay and what I would expect what steamed dumplings would normally taste. The Rice Noodle Soup with Beef in Taiwanese Style was supposed to be the dish I was looking forward to; however, the broth had a hint of lamb taste to it as if it was potentially used in another batch that had lamb in it. I was not a fan of lamb because of the gamey taste to it and that was ruining the broth and everything in it. I was disappointed in that dish. The Stir Fried Eggplant in House Sauce was okay and there was a good amount of it. Overall, I thought Chen's Noodle House was okay and would have liked if their beef noodle soup tasted better. It would be good and 4 stars for me if it weren't for that gamey taste in the broth even though I didn't order the item with lamb. read more
