    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Pretty decent noodles and wontons. The spicy wontons were more on the sweeter side. Portion is pretty big!

    This is by far the worst restaurant I have ever been to. The quality and quantity are a joke.

    Streamed chicken with chili sauce

    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!

    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.

    If you want amazing local authentic food go here right now. I'm serious right now. It is so good and for the price we all left full and the sesame chicken is definitely a must!!

    4. Noodle Soup with Spicy Beef /
    Timothy B.

    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.

Those that had plain rice said it was better. We asked for chili crisp, she gave us a container of chili oil and a container with crushed red pepper, yet they had jars of chili crisp for sale. The server really was a gem, but the food and wait times were NOT. Nope, not for me.

The Chicken Sheng Jian Bao was good, but the breading a little thicker than I personally like. This felt more like a dessert with the sesame bottom. Good taste, just heavy. Felt like we were rushed a bit and we're asked several times if we were done. There were empty tables, so that knocked it from the higher 3.5 side to the lower. Yelp is a flat star rating.
