Chen's Yummy House 148 Veterans Plaza Dumont, NJ 07628 Crab Rangoon Shrimp Tempura Boneless Spare Ribs General Tso's Chicken Broccoli with Garlic Sauce The crab rangoon was stuffed with cream cheese. It was crispy on the outside and piping hot on the inside. The sweet and sour dipping sauce really added flavor to this starter. There's no way you will lose your temper when you explore the shrimp tempura because it was that good! This deep fried shrimp was dipped in tempura batter with the perfect crunchiness. If you aren't a fan of bones in your meat, try the boneless spare ribs. These tiny little slabs of pork are tender and juicy smothered in a savory sauce. If you need a mild spicy kick, general tso's chicken will do the trick. The hearty chunks of chicken are breaded and tossed in a tangy sauce. Take a break from meat and try the broccoli with garlic sauce. This vegetarian plate was rich in flavor and is just as filling as their non-vegetarian options. If you are on the go or feel like dining in, then stop by and give Chen's Yummy House a try! #chensyummyhouse #dumontnj #veteransplaza #crabrangoon #shrimptempura #bonelessspareribs #generaltsoschicken #broccoliwithgarlicsauce read more

I have been eating here for years. This place is very good. The place is very clean and the staff is amazing.

Delivery Order: Chinese Food is tricky. There are so many places to order from but difficult to find places that offers good food and is affordable. Chen's is one of the few places that fits the bill. Absolutely loved everything I tried. read more

Service fees is a ripoff. Do they charge patron's a service fee when they dine in? I don't order from businesses who charge a ripoff fee. Service fees are junk fees. Take a stand. Covid is over. Stop these junk fees. I no longer buy from junk fee establishments. read more

Go to Chinese in town. Always delicious. Quick and easy. Staff is the best and always so friendly read more

Please check your bank accounts! This place keeps playing with the price and will end up charging you what they want without notice, including the drivers adding whatever tip amount they want without authorization from the buyer. Bad attitudes, fraudulent, burnt food had to throw out. read more

Sorry this isn't a Chinese restaurant. I asked if they could make authentic Chinese food and they said sorry... When you see packet of sauces when you enter and French fries on the menu, please run. Should be call take out hut... read more

The portions are super small ! I asked the lady to change a pork egg roll to a shrimp egg roll so she told me it would cost 75 cent extra so I paid went home opened the egg roll that just the way I eat and it had no shrimp what's so ever . Never again. read more

Was in the neighborhood and decided to place an order. The food was so fresh, hot and tasty and service was prompt. For Chinese takeout this spot is the best. I will return. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so I finally ordered delivery. The delivery time was quoted 50-60 minutes. It came in 59. The food was hot and fresh. It looked great. Eggroll: standard. Nothing great, nothing horrible. It could've used more pork. Wonton Soup: the wontons were great! Thin wrappers and flavorful filling, but the broth was super super bland. Egg Foo Young: very good.....except for the gravy. Super bland. I had to add 2 soy sauce packets and even then, it was missing something. Pork Fried rice: I appreciated the fact that they didn't use yellow rice, but this was bland as well. It was fine since I was eating it with the Egg Foo Young and gravy, but I'd be disappointed it I ordered it on its own. Chinese Donuts: standard. Hard to mess these up. I won't completely rule this place out, but I was a bit disappointed. I see a lot of people like the lo mein and General Tso's/sesame/orange chicken with white rice, so I may give those a try one day. I feel they need to step up their game since there's over 20 Chinese spots within 5 miles (there's about 4-5 in each town). read more

I don't Yelp much these days, but this place motivated me, compelled me. After ordering the second time and touring into dishes I EXPECTED to be bad and being amazed I HAD to log in and leave a review. I know you have head people say things like this before, but i'm NOT exaggerating when i say "you will NOT find better Chinese food in North NJ at this price-point within delivery radius of the River Edge, New Milford, Dumont, Ordadel area. Game over. Period. It puts Lotus in Hackensack to shame for less money. Here re some highlights: Dumplings: Made in house, not frozen and fried/steamed like 99.9% of spots (including lotus) Chicken: Not junk meant hidden in excess breading. No 0.0% mysterious "chewies" to be found Beef: (same as above) Order extra spice: They actually MADE it extra spicy, not the typical lazy red-pepper flake sprinkle, or side order of spicy oil. General Tso's: Thinly and tastefully breaded with a slight crisp to the crust (not that nasty, soggy, super thick junk you find at 95% of other spot. GREAT! Even the damn crunchy noodles they give you for the soup tasted home made. I could go on and on. Everything was as good re-heated the next day as it was freshly delivered. I'm an old-school Yelper (before corporate mucked it up) and I don't hype places up. If you live within delivery range of this place you are blessed. Even if I moved a town or two out of range i would consider picking up from here or using an external delivery service. It's that good. Next time Ill take more pictures.. They Deserve it! read more

I ordered several items: Steamed Seafood dumpling was great. The dough was thin and had great texture. It came with a sauce I felt was only halfway filled. Small Beef with mushroom with small white rice. The beef with mushroom tasted savory. The portion size was smaller compared to sorrounding Chinese delivery restaurants. Other restaurants would've filled it. General tso chicken was dry. Sauce was OK. The chicken was very dry. I have trouble putting a fork through them. Usually the outer part of the chicken is covered with a crispy dough - mine was soggy. Again, container wasn't filled like other nearby restaurants. I ordered it with a medium sized rice - comparatively, other nearby restaurants this would be a small. $16 is too expensive for this general tsDumplingso chicken, and that's before tax, delivery fee, and delivery tip. Other items are also a dollar or three more expensive than nearby restaurants, unfortunately it's one of few open past 10pm read more

This place is pretty good. We've tried them out twice now and they definitely do not disappoint. Food is always fresh and hot and delivery is really fast. Ordering online is a plus and they usually have coupons you can add to your order Dishes that stand out: the sesame and honey chicken are both great Pork dumplings: this place has some of the best dumplings. The dough is thinner than most which I really like and the filling is light and flavorful. Definitely try them out next time you're in the mood for Chinese! read more

Finding GOOD Chinese take-out (not just edible) seems to be as probable as winning a game of ring toss. That is- it's a slippery slope- which is why I always find myself debating whether or not to gamble my money on a new business when I could just order from the place I've traveled far and long to find. Sadly for me, Chen's was a let down and I wish I had stuck to what I know. Where Chen's fell short: 1. I ordered *sesame* chicken...but there were no seeds (see picture) 2. The lo mein was too oily 3. The *pork* fried rice had almost no pork, let alone any other vegetables in it 4. Both the lo mein and rice were pretty bland and light in color due to a lack of soy sauce 5. The hot and sour soup "broth" was gloppy and syrupy which made me not want to eat it 6. The won-ton soup had lighter, more delicate dumpling noodles which I rather enjoyed however, there was barely any filling and it also lacked flavor 7. I didn't enjoy the chinese noodle soup crackers which are usually my favorite 8. I called in to order a teriyaki lunch combo according to their menu, but was told they only have teriyaki on a stick Where Chen's succeeds: 1. The staff is friendly 2. My to-go order was ready in no time (exactly the estimated 15 min. they quoted me) and they even followed up with a phone call to notify me it was ready 3. The interior and behind the counter is clean and they have lots of dine-in seating 4. The beef and chicken were tender for the most part, not dry and stringy from over-frying 5. They offer some different options like: Mango Chicken and Shrimp, the Hawaiian Five, Seaweed Salad, Cheesecake Tempura, and Apple Sticks Unfortunately, the good didn't quite outweigh the bad, and for these reasons Chen's has been Chopped. read more

Was good last year and ok last week but tonight was poor. Nothing wrong with ordering American Chinese standards from the menu but these were below mediocre. Shrimp egg foo young bland and so was the generic brown sauce on the side. Sweet & sour shrimp was heavily breaded, dry & hard, served with a side of sweet (mostly) & sour sauce. Shrimp roll low on flavor, too. Hoped for a decent meal but hopes were dashed. It's a shame because the people who run this place are nice, hence two stars. My search for Chinese takeout is back on. read more

I only order from here when I'm craving the Chinese sugar donuts. I ordered general tso's chicken lunch with brown rice, boneless spare ribs with brown rice (as backup - yes call me fat lol), and Chinese donuts. Might I add that I LOVE general tso's chicken. Their general tso's chicken tastes and looks like orange chicken with a slight kick to it. I wouldn't order it again. The boneless spare ribs are actually good and saucy. The Chinese donuts are nice and airy (yum!) It's a good thing I ordered backup even though the taste from the general tso's made me lose my appetite. read more

Consistently good Chinese food with no nonsense. I regularly order from here. I typically order wonton egg drop soup, seafood pan fried dumplings, general Tso's chicken, Shrimp and garlic sauce with mix vegetables, barbecue spareribs tips, etc. Everything that I've tried on the menu is consistently good and hit the spot. read more

Chen's is consistent, which to me is VIP. Also, the food is very good. The house mustard lacks, well, everything, but it's mustard so keep that in perspective. I love their Chinese food. I order all the time. Chen's, Please make better house mustard! It's yellow water with a hint of mustard flavor and wasabi. You're better than that. read more

I must say, we love us some Chinese. This place is GREAT. I wish I took pics of the food, we just dug in. They are super friendly over the phone too. You must try their house special fried rice. It's a hit. Food isn't so greasy, it's very flavorful. Delivery isn't bad either. It has always been on point. Never waiting that long. Things we've ordered: general tso chicken, pork fried rice, house special fried rice (has another name though) chicken wings, chicken & broccoli, chicken lo mein, spare ribs. read more

I ordered from here when my regular Chinese food restaurant was closed because I really wanted Chinese. The food was good. The broccoli with garlic sauce does have a spicy kick to it. The portion sizes were about what I would normally get from my regular place but they are a little more in the expensive side. I would definitely order again because they have a bigger menu. read more

The food is pretty bland most of the time, it's decreased in quality gradually and as such I've stopped going there. The dumplings are probably the best thing on the menu and the veggies are a nice touch. Beyond that, I'd avoid most of the chicken and beef options. read more

This might be our new Chinese spot! I am not sure how long they have been open but tonight was the first time they appeared in my local Yelp delivery search I do almost every Sunday night. The prices are VERY reasonable which made me a bit nervous but I'm happy we gave them a try because everything was great! You can order online very easily (they do not use a third party delivery service which was a plus for me) and the delivery time was about 30 min. The delivery guy was very sweet and had a big smile on his face which was refreshing. As for the food, we got a gigantic serving of boneless beef spare ribs which were very good, no complaints. The egg drop soup was divine- I can't stand when I get a tasteless or too salty version & theirs was perfect. We also got general tso's which comes with default all white chicken. I ALWAYS ask for all white chicken but they do it in every order which was nice. We are happy to say we will absolutely be ordering again!! read more

Not terrible not great... overall pretty mediocre across the board. Granted we ordered vegetarian food which isn't our standard but it was edible but underwhelming no less. Hard to describe it other than the flavors were one note and flat. read more

just moved to Bergenfield from Old Tappan. Our favorite used to be China Pavilion in River Vale, and I still trek down there for pick ups. I decided, on this crazy snowy night to order from somewhere that would deliver, as I don't to like driving in the snow. We did a little research, and we were excited in the thought of finding something great, that would make us part easily with our long time fav. We ordered, sesame chicken, boneless ribs, steamed shrimp & broccoli,and fried rice. Total came to 60 something dollars. The food came in on time and they even gave us some wontons for free. Unfortunately the food was horrible. Ribs smelled upon opening the container, and they were more like boiled than broiled. I've had better sesame chicken, noting amazing. The steamed shrimp smelled like fish, and it had a weird coating on it. I guess I'll just have to keep on driving up to River Vale. What a waste! read more

This is the worst Chinese place I have ever had. I ordered through grubhub saw that it had good reviews so I took a chance. I will never order from here again. The chicken was cooked to a crisp and the beef did not have flavor. The wonton soup has small wonton which is crazy. I have never seen anything like this. I guess that is why they are giving free food when you order over X dollar amount. read more

Just look at the fried rice pictures and the General Tso pictures. A tear is shed by every immigrant that cooked Chinese food in America today, because Asian fried food has been shamed. Air fry Trader Joe's Chinese packets and you will get more flavor. read more

I really wanted this place to be better than it was. This was our second try, but I think we're done now. The food just really lacks in flavor. I had wonton soup & it was very bland. I had to add Chinese mustard just to give it any flavor. My husband had shrimp fried rice & chicken in garlic sauce. He also said everything needed more flavor. And was just OK. He also ordered the dumplings which he said were very good though. Said he hears they were homemade We ordered for pick up & the food was ready very quickly & the woman on the phone was very friendly. read more

This is one of the very few Chinese restaurants we order from. Their food is always delicious and our delivery has always been on time. The portions are huge, especially the teriyaki chicken and the broccoli is fresh and crisp, not limp like in other places. They also aren't stingy with the sauces, which is really good. read more

This is my go to place for Chinese food. They haven't let me down yet. They have a good variety of meals. My daughters favorite is the chicken lomain and my son is the chicken with broccoli. I prefer the the chicken with mixed vegetables also the steamed dumplings and egg rolls. read more

Bland food. House special fried rice extremely disappointing, no flavor and light on the meat :(

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! This is by far THE BEST Chinese food around! Starting with the ordering, the gentleman on the phone was great to deal with & incredibly friendly. He repeated the order back clearly, to make sure it was correct. The order came within 40 mins, came piping hot & the delivery woman was very friendly as well. Ok...on to the food! We ordered 2 combo dinners: One Mongolian beef & one General Tso chicken (extra spicy). Also ordered wonton egg drop soup & boneless ribs. The food was so fresh & delicious. They make the chicken with white meat only (which I usually request & pay extra for) it was super spicy & cooked perfectly. Mongolian beef was also super spicy, tender & delicious. The egg rolls were one of the best I've ever had, not greasy at all & very flavorful. The wontons in the soup were so light & pillowy & the boneless ribs...incredible too! I find there to be no quality Chinese restaurants in this area at all anymore; I am so happy we found Yummy House...this was a 5 star experience all around & I can't wait to order again! read more

The sweet and sour chicken was good and so was the fried rice that I got, but what really wasn't good at all was the boneless spare ribs. They were extremely fatty and gross. I don't like tasting fat when I eat my spare ribs. There were pieces in there with no fat, but every other piece I bit into had fat in it and I had to spit it out. I'm not saying stay away from this place, just don't get their boneless spare ribs unless you like tasting fat with your ribs. read more

I have been ordering delivery from Chen's Yummy House for months now and I must say that they NEVER disappoint. Driver is always extremely courteous which is a plus and the food is also fantastic. Go for the boneless spare ribs or the General Tso's chicken- You will not be let down!! read more

So far the best tasting Chinese food. We were searching for many years . Try them, you won't be disappointed

Don't believe the reviews on this place this was the worst CHINESE FOOD ME AND MY FAMILY HAVE EVER HAD, my daughter is sick and my son in law had to spit out the wonton from the soup, we through everything out and when i called they didn't even want to refund me they just said sorry and the lady said yeah thats what every one says . read more

By far by best Chinese food around. Not only is the food great tasting, the service is amazing!

I literally just finished eating this food about 3 minutes ago, and this place has the best Chinese food I have EVER had. The food is on fire . I also like the fact that they have steamed pork buns, the fried rice is perfectly seasoned, and the soup is refreshing and delicious. I will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

This place is great. It's the standard gutter-palette Chinese food that everyone knows of done well. It's not trying to compete with the high end places. No, it's $9 for their combos. And all their food is really fresh and well prepared. It's a noticeable difference in quality between all the other $9 places. Inside is always super clean and the staff is very friendly. They care, they do it well, and the food is good. Again, it's not hanami, but you'll also pay double there. Great Chinese takeout, glad they moved in here. read more

I work 5 min. away from this restaurant and I was craving for Chinese food and I am glad i picked this restaurant out of all the Chinese restaurants around. They are very friendly and food taste good! They always greet you with a nice friendly face. Highly recommended read more
