I went here by myself for dinner on Sunday, September 13, 2026 because I was craving their chicken with chili peppers and their pork fried rice. It did not disappoint. OMG!!!! The beef with chili peppers is just a good but I wanted the chicken this time. I have been coming to this place ever since they opened so I am a loyal repeat customer. I've tried almost everything in the menu so I have my favorite go-to dishes that I get when I visit. This one is a new discovery though. The staff is very welcoming and kind especially the folks making the soup dumplings. Yum. I can't resist getting them each time I visit. read more

We recently tried Mister Chen and overall had a really good experience. We ordered the pork soup dumplings (6), mapo tofu with white rice, and chicken with broccoli with brown rice. The soup dumplings were definitely the highlight. They make the dumplings right in the restaurant and you can watch them being made. The dumplings were flavorful and full of soup, and my son especially loved them. Six dumplings ended up being a good amount for us. The vinegar came in a dropper which seems ingenious - much easier than dipping. The chicken and broccoli was also very tasty. The chicken was soft and nicely velveted, and the portions were generous. The mapo tofu was okay -- a little saltier than expected -- but still good when eaten with the rice. The brown rice itself was slightly on the hard side. Service was very good. Our server, a young man, was attentive without being overbearing, which we appreciated. One thing to note: parking can be tricky since it's all street parking and there are a lot of nearby shops. We happened to come on a holiday around 3 pm, so parking was easy for us. Overall, good food, large portions, and friendly service. We'd come back again. read more

The food is excellent, but the prices are absolutely exorbitant for what you receive. While the quality is undeniable, the overall cost feels excessively high and difficult to justify. read more

I've found some more dishes I love at Mister Chen: the lettuce wraps (which they give you a LOT of filling for when you order delivery/pickup) and the crispy shredded beef! Will keep updating the more I go (which is alot btw. Still my favorite soup dumplings of all time.) read more

Mister Chen is an authentic Chinese restaurant located on a strip with several Asian cuisine spots, so the competition here is stiff. I enjoyed my visit overall, but my ratings are very much based on comparison with similar restaurants in the area. Pork Belly Sandwich (B-) This was the most underwhelming dish for me, though I'll admit I'm a tough critic since I order pork belly whenever it's on the menu. The bao bun itself was delicious, but the pork lacked depth of flavor and leaned a bit dry, even with the added peanuts. Not bad--just not standout. General Tso's Chicken (A-) Excellent quality chicken--some of the best I've had for this dish. I would've liked a bit more heat, but it was flavorful and well executed regardless. Lychee Martini (A) Well made with a great balance of sweetness and alcohol. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. The space is casual but pleasant, with a small bar and ample seating for the area. Service was friendly and attentive, which added to the overall experience. read more

Nice space and great location, just doesn't deliver the correct flavor on the food. I ordered the salt and pepper calamari and it did not look right, batter issue. It should be light and airy, but it was thick. I did like the fried onions and garlic thrown on top though. The shrimp and pork wontons in spicy chili oil fell flat. The chili oil and wontons lacked flavor and the wrappers were not soft. Sigh... you may fare better sticking to basic Chinese American fare, but that was not what I wanted. I wanted to pike this place, but can't. My son ordered the roast pork mei fun and enjoyed his food. Service was good and prompt. read more

Let me start by saying, I was weaned on Chinese food, every Sunday the family would get in the car and go to, China Town NYC. The Hot and Sour Soup had good flavor, however if you're going to serve a bowl of soup, fill the bowl all the way not just half way, feel like I got ripped off. I ordered the "Pan" fried dumplings what I got were dumplings that came out of a fryer. I was never asked if I wanted anything to drink, no water poured. Big waste of money. I will never return. read more

Based on recent reviews and my two most recent visits, this place seems to be in a steady decline. Aside from a couple of good apps (the rock shrimp and scratch-made soup dumplings are both excellent), their main dishes have lately been very underwhelming. But the bigger issue is the service. Most of the employees, at least during our past two visits, have been late teens/early 20s, and it shows. There was confusion with our order, drinks were forgotten, dishes were coming out at random times, and we were asked by different staff members on multiple occasions if we wanted to order and if we wanted the check after another staff member had already done so like five minutes prior. Staff seemed somewhat overwhelmed, but the place was nearly empty by 8:30pm. My friend has sworn by this place for years, but after our most recent visit he said he'd never come again. I agree. read more

Great Chinese food. A little more upscale which we like. Order from here a few times a month.

Really enjoyed my trip here on a recommendation from my brother. The buns are a can't-miss! I love that they tasted fresh and were cooked to order. I had the pad Thai and it tasted delicious, I wish I had more peanuts offered in the beginning. Everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered, very happy we stopped here. read more

Food was good. Drinks are 100% watered down. Ordered a Honey Jack Daniels and it was the wrong color and tasted bad. They showed us the bottle and it was clear. Not the 1st time. I have ordered mixed drinks before and they have never been good. Stick with tap water! read more

What happened to Mr Chen? I last ordered from here 6 years ago and it was delicious. Based on that memory, I ordered dinner today. The food was tasteless with poor presentation. The 5 glass dumplings in the tiny serving were tough and tasteless. The wonton dumplings were messy, overcooked with just a speck of taste. The General Tso chicken was soggy, tasteless with large chunks of chicken. The salt and pepper ribs were not even ribs but 2 soggy pork chops that had neither salt nor pepper! Perhaps there's new ownership or chefs. Not worth the high price. Disappointing. read more

We were deeply, pleasantly surprised by our latest delivery from Mister Chen. It will not be the last! I was scared even to get the soup dumplings since I've had a lot of awful experiences ordering delivery soup dumplings. It's obviously not the preferred method of consumption. However, the ones we got were the best I've had since moving from Queens. It's pricey, but I'd gladly pay it again given the quality. The mapo tofu was a little divisive in my household, but I thought it was quite good and closer to authenticity than I've had at other establishments. It was decently spicy, too. (My partner said it tasted like tea. I'm not sure what he meant by that.) I'd say the Dan Dandan Noodle ($9) was good but not my fave. Good price for the size, though. read more

Mister Chen is a Westchester staple. My kids love this place. Very friendly staff and the food is authentic. Soup dumplings are great.

Came here for dinner before a movie on a Friday and it was a really good choice! We didn't have a reservation but we did get seated as soon as we arrived. Def busy for a Friday! I knew I had to order the soup dumplings so decided to order it as an entree. The scallion pancakes were good too! Would definitely be returning here! read more

I have very nice lunch here. Soup dumplings are fantastic! I ordered basil chicken and my friend ordered steamed chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce on the side. The wonton soup that came with the meals was very good. Food is good, but portions are small. We used to take home half the lunch special and now we eat the entire thing.

Having driven through the amazingly revitalized downtown Mamaroneck, and cursing said revitalization as I spy eagle eyed for a place to park, I've seen Mister Chen but never gave it a thought. I am firmly in the camp that Westchester does not have any good Chinese food. Save for maybe Foo Chow in Tuckahoe and that is strictly cash, down and dirty takeout. So we were looking for something different and stumbled right in front as the parking gods provided a spot. Why not? Kismet? Gotta tell you I was totally impressed. Place was clean, even the glass as you enter, staff was welcoming and the decor pleasant. Service was excellent, food was very tasty and well portioned. The General Tso's chicken was not overly sweet and greasy but tender and had a really nice kick of spice that lasted a minute. We ate Americanized Chinese as nothing we had would resemble anything I'd order in Flushing or Sunset Park. But it was good. Hands down better than the plethora of Chinese restaurants dotting every town here in the burbs. When I have the urge to eat Chinese, and can't fit in a trip to the city... Mister Chen will get a visit, hopefully that parking spot in front will be available and waiting for me. Kismet! read more

Wow - what a difference from the last time I was there. There was not a single person in the dining room. Food was very average - each of us said "wouldn't order that again." Really too bad - was a very nice upgrade to the usual Chinese restaurant. Not sure if place was sold or just something else but unfortunate. read more

I ordered delivery and was told it would take 55 minutes. After an hour I called and was told it was "5-7 minutes away." After another 25 minutes, I called again and was told it was "5-7 minutes away." After another 10 minutes, I called back and was told (you guessed it) it was "5-7 minutes away." I asked to speak to the manager, was put on hold and the call was then "disconnected" after 5 minutes. I called back and was told that the manager would call me back "within 10 minutes." He never called. The food arrived after 2 hours. No surprise: it was cold. I have no idea how it would have tasted if it had arrived hot and on time. My advice: do not order from here. read more

Solid on the steamed dumplings front -steamed and fries , chicken, steamed pork soup and vegetable dumpling steamed. I am very amused by the vibe at bar and in the place but do mostly take out. Try it you'll like it... read more

The food here has gotten much worse, so oily and salty. They also cheap out and give lot lots of sauce and very few pieces of chicken or beef. Forget about ordering shrimp, and a shrimp dish you might get three baby shrimp out of a can. The service is awful, definitely do not do takeout or delivery from here. Ambiance is fine in the restaurant, but it doesn't feel like a place you sit and eat. read more

This isn't it. We walked into the restaurant and no one greeted us. I don't mean that no one was there. I could see staff. 1 guy was facing us only 7 feet away. But he just looked at us and didn't move or speak. There was an uncontrolled, SCREAMING toddler at the table near the door, so I decided we'd seat ourselves-far from the noise. Thankfully, someone did come by right away with menus. When a waiter appeared, he seemed to be on autopilot & not really ready to engage. There was someone rolling fresh scallion pancakes. Seemed like a great feature, but the waiter didn't seem enthusiastic about it. I asked about the comparison between the plain & the beef scallion pancakes. He said, "1 has beef." Okaaaay. I ordered the beef. Since THAT was being made fresh, I asked whether anything else was made fresh on premises. He looked lost as if he couldn't understand me at all. I said, "I see you make the pancakes fresh" & I pointed at the woman rolling dough, "what else do you make fresh?" His reply? "We don't have pancakes." WTH? He just took my pancake order!! I gave up & just decided to order as if I was using Grubhub. I decided to splurge on the $22 salt & pepper shrimp. I have fond memories of salt & pepper seafood items that I used to order when I worked in lower Manhattan's Chinatown. I figured it was a safe bet. That is until the dish showed up completely unseasoned, with lots of shrimp shell under thick batter. And someone explains why they put hoisen sauce on the side? To make up for the lack of salt & pepper? It was the only thing I could taste. Oh wait! I forgot to mention that it took a while for me to taste it at all! One of the many bussers came by & offered to bring us clean plates as he put down the shrimp dish and brown rice. But he never did bring plates. I kept waving to the back of the room where the bussers stood around talking. No response. Eventually, 1 of them walked away & I got the attention of the remaining guy who looked at me like I surely needed someone else. Finally, he came over before my food was completely cold. I told him we could not eat the food without the plates we'd been promised. He expressed that he understood and promised to bring back plates. He didn't. I finally had to get up and take the small plates off a nearby table. I replaced them with dirty items from our table. No one cared. They let the vacant table sit dirty that way. They never returned to us. The waiter didn't come by either. The tasteless food was cold, so I decided to just bring it home and season it properly myself. The waiter finally came by and asked how things were. I told him. His response was to make excuses instead of apologizing. His grasp of English magically returned as he claimed the shrimp tasted fine. I informed him that I've worked in both Chinatown and on Main St. in Flushing & was familiar with how the cuisine is usually prepared. He had the nerve to tell me that those people are from Canada, so they make it differently. Right. Chinatown had it wrong, but Mamaroneck had it on lock? Got it. Or was he saying that Mister Chen was from Canada? The outside sign says "Authentic Chinese Cuisine". Not Authentic Canadian Cuisine. But if it turns out that I misread it, that would explain a lot. Bottom line, I will not be returning here. It's not hard to get to NYC for actual authentic cuisine. But to be honest, there are much better places, even in Westchester. Try Aberdeen Seafood at the hotel in White Plains. They have amazing AUTHENTIC Chinese food with an excellent dim sum selection and an attentive, knowledgeable staff. And they don't charge $19 for a plate of veggies. But Mister Chen does seem like the local childcare center for the neighborhood, so definitely bring the kids. They can do whatever they want here while you relax. I just won't be there to see it. read more

Ordered takeout, the timing on a Thursday night was great, was only a 30 minute wait. Ordered sesame chicken, red bean cake and pork soup dumplings. Dumplings were not as great as if they had been fresh, my issue was that they were shoved on top of each other so once you picked one up it ripped the dough causing all of the delicious soup to pour out! If this isn't able to be delivered it should be mentioned or more care should be taken with packaging it. Red bean crust was flaky and dry. Sesame chicken was okay but for the price was expecting more. Dandan noodles felt as if they used the wrong noodle was average in flavor. read more

Visited Glen Island Park for a day trip and decided to pick up food on my way home. We chose this place at random after googling their raving reviews and it indeed lived up to them. It's a very good Chinese food restaurant. It felt and tasted very upscale, price to match though. Each dish was around $20+ I had the Szechuan chicken with veggies. This was great. The veggies still had some crisp to them, the chicken was juicy and the sauce wasn't too spicy. The one thing I didn't like however, was the excessive amount of pimento seeds in the dish. Those things are horrible to just bite on. I wish they would've removed these before serving. My husband had the Kung Pao chicken, he was a big fan of. It was cooked well, not greasy at all and had great flavor. Overall, this was a great take-out food spot and everything was packaged well. Still piping hot by the time we got home (30 minute drive) Also portioned well, I finished this over two days, having some for lunch the next day. Which I must say, was even better than the first bite. We would definitely stop by here again whenever we are in the area. Maybe try sitting down in the restaurant for a different perspective. read more

The town of Pelham NY has three Chinese restaurants - one that was mediocre, one that is not too good, and one that is awful. Naturally, the mediocre restaurant closed, leaving Pelhamites with one not-too-good and one truly bad Chinese restaurant. Time to range farther. The main drag of Mamaroneck NY -- which is perhaps 15-20 mins away - is filled with interesting restaurants (oh, Pelham, why can you not emulate Mamaroneck's example...?). And so we decided to try Mister Chen. It was a revelation. I am not saying the food was sublime or transcendant; however, it was solidly good, and just hitting that bar was a joy to us. Every dish at Mr. Chen was tasty: dumplings, fried calamari, sesame chicken, eggplant in garlic sauce - all good. Yes, it's a pretty long drive for take-out, but it's worth it. Pelhamites... Rejoice!

I'm using my mums account (10 years old) .... WOW! I have never found or had the most mouth watering dumplings... SOO good.

I had bookmarked Mister Chen a couple of months back when it popped up as hot and new on my Yelp feed. I'm always down for trying a new Asian restaurant, so I told myself if I found myself in the area I would check it out. Lo and behold, I found myself in Mamaroneck tonight and thought it was a perfect excuse to grab some dinner here. Mister Chen sits on Mamaroneck Ave in the main strip of the town of Mamaroneck. I didn't even realize before I got here that the space was formerly the location of Haiku; I had been there before and must say they did a great job transforming the space. It's not huge, but the brightish colors cast against the darker tables and chairs make for an interesting color scheme. The menu is broken down how I expected one at an Asian restaurant would be (apps, proteins, noodles, etc). We decided to start with two apps: the soup dumplings and the pan fried pork buns. Both of these were pretty good; I've had better soup dumplings elsewhere but they weren't awful. I liked the pork buns more - they had good flavor and the ratio of bun to meat was on point. For my main I had the salt and pepper prawns; they were advertised as giant prawns and they definitely delivered on size. The shells were kept on which made the prawns really crispy, and they were seasoned with salt and pepper really well. The one thing that was missing (for me at least) was some kind of sauce - especially in light of the fact that the dish was served with rice. Overall it had flavor but was dry. Service was fine - not amazing but the food was served at a good pace which is the best I can expect sometimes. Overall, I kind of got that "more of the same" feel from Mister Chen. The food was good, but there are places like this all over Westchester so I wasn't blown away. I probably won't be back soon because of other options closer to me, but for locals who want a nice meal this is a good option. read more

Ordered in they forgot the sauce. Asked them to deliver it. Owner called cursing me out telling me to never order from them again. Screaming curses at me.

We used to order from here consistently for two years. Quality of food has gone down. Yesterday - they delivered Singapore noodles- there was a clump of curry power in the middle, not mixed. The kung pao tofu had no sauce, no peanuts, just fried pieces of tofu with unseasoned broccoli. When we called to complain, we were she said "ok we will do better next time." We said to at least look up our order number so they would know what went wrong. She put the phone on speaker without realizing it wasn't on mute and then said "these guys are calling to complain" and her coworker goes "just hang up on them" We used to recommend this place as the go to Chinese spot in this area. Will never recommend again. read more

Very happy with the taste and quality of the food we get delivered. It never lasts long around my house and sometimes is eaten for breakfast.

Wow. While meandering down the street en route to another restaurant, this place caught my eye. The menu had a picture that was a little racy, so i was going to walk out but my two lady-guests convinced me to stay. I am glad I did. Before I move on, suggestion to owner, please change the picture on the menu, its a restaurant not a burlesque or bordello. C'mon, its a Chineese food restaurant, and let's keep it G. Next, they have these awesome dumplings. They put the soup INSIDE the dumplings-- what a trip. Holy cow, they were awesome. The dumpling dough was toothsome and the soup tasty. Definitely try them. Caution--don;t let them sit too long since the soup gets cold. If your dining with a chatty Kathy or loquacious Larry, put your index finger to your pursed lips and ask them to pipe down for a few minutes so you can enjoy these while their hot. Next, the fried dumplings. Oh my. No it the Costco hackneyed fare; but these were longer and more savory. Really quite good. The spare ribs were special,they were from the caudad ribs and not the usual ribs I was accustomed to. They had a small bone--seemingly a vertebrae, and an appendage of meat. Be it as I was--hungry, these were gulletted with highly directed focus. They were awesome. The meat was tender, the sauce as delectable as I have every had, but not smothering. The sticky rice. Hmmm. Well, they had some meat mixed in that was really not necessary, but was really dry. This meat was a net negative and, in this case, was an example of an addition being a subtraction. read more

I am a big fan of Asian foods. I eat them often at restaurants and I cook Szechuan and Thai frequently at home, obtaining authentic and fresh ingredients at Asian markets. This is a very nice restaurant. The ambiance is airy and clean, the staff are very friendly and the food is very good. The dumplings are excellent, especially the soup dumplings and the kung pao chicken was well-prepared although not as spicy as I expected. All in all, four of us had a very good meal in a very comfortable restaurant. My only real criticism is the salt and pepper squid is not even remotely close to what this traditional Szechuan dish should be. What is being offered as salt and pepper squid is just plain, and not particularly good, fried calamari. Salt and pepper squid, which I have prepared often and ordered frequently in restaurants that offer it, should have an abundance of Szechuan pepper and a fair amount of salt in an otherwise thin coating of corn starch. It should be crispy and very spicy. This dish was neither. It was edible but disappointing. I plan to return next month to try some other interesting dishes on the menu but I'll pass on the salt and pepper squid. Everything else we tried was very good so I'm pretty sure I'll find some tasty dishes. I definitely will order the soup dumplings again. They were delicious. read more
