The only good item we had last night were the soup dumplings. It was all downhill after that. Ribs, mediocre, lo mien with roast pork, ok. General Chows chicken was soggy with a gloppy sauce. Worst of the night were the salt and pepper shrimp. The shrimp were overcooked with the shells still on, all on top of soggy iceberg lettuce and a scattering of diced who knows what. They were also rushing to get us out so they could close up at 8:30. Won't be back and don't recommend you go there either. read more

Terrible. Not sure what happened to this place. Used to be good. Soup Dumplings were great. Everything else not so good. Ribs were really sketchy. Service was bad. At 8:45 for some weird reason they started bum rushing us and the two other tables that were there out of the restaurant so they could close. This is the one on Mamaroneck Ave. Mr Chen express in Scarsdale is still pretty good. read more

Just picked up from here, I arrived before the food was ready. Everything was cold and tasted premade. Unlikely to go back. read more

A quick review after trying Mr. Chen two weeks in a row. I will be brief. Wanton Soup and Egg Drop Soup: Acceptable. Shredded Beef with Chili Pepper: Beef was good. Hardly any chili peppers. Mostly scallions and celery. Dan Dan Noodles: Not recommended. There are dozens of Chinese noodles - maybe hundreds, so why did Mr. Chen use Italian Linguini as the noodle for this dish? If I want Linguini, I will go to an Italian restaurant. But in a Chinese restaurant, I do not want to see Italian pasta on my plate. It was far too over-cooked. Dan Dan sauce was fair to poor in substance and in flavor. For me, the jury is still out. So far, it has been hit or miss. I'm willing to try a few more dishes before giving up. The trouble is that there aren't many good Chinese restaurants in Westchester or lower Connecticut. read more

I have been meaning to try this spot as I am a huge fan of anything Szechuan. I was a little skeptical because I have tried many restaurants that were either inconsistent with the Szechuan flavor or just did not taste good. I was pleasantly surprised with the food. The interior decor was very modern and everything was clean. We ordered a plethora of dishes, one my favorites was the Szechuan Chili & Spiced Beef, Eggplant with chicken in garlic sauce, Peking style pork ribs, Steam pork soup dumplings, Braised beef noodle soup and Beef chow fun. The dishes were all quite flavorful. My favorite was the Szechuan Chili & Spiced Beef. The flavor was so great, and they put so many vegetables in there as well. The soup dumplings were very delicious, better than some of other places in Westchester. The ambience and waitress were all very nice. We visited on a week night and it was really quiet until much later when more guests showed up. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking some authentic Szechuan dishes. read more

10/10 food and service! This spot is famous for their soup dumplings but their menu also features authentic dishes that other Asian restaurants don't offer -- like Dan Dan noodles and bao buns. Highly recommend coming with a group and ordering family style so you can sample and try a little bit of everything. read more

Very sad. when the restaurant first opened it was fabulous. first, I thought the chef had been sent to their takeout place in Scarsdale. if so, that didn't last long either. Both places have deteriorated. Food is not even mediocre. read more

Mister Chen is delicious! Everything there is really good, but the dumplings are handmade, and the classic Chinese dishes (Chicken and broccoli, sesame chicken, etc), are delicious as well. Highly recommend. They are a little more expensive, but the price is worth it! read more

Not bad food but also not the best Chinese food I've had. The service was solid and the appearance of the place was pretty classic.

Mamaroneck Ave in the village of Mamaroneck is dotted with Asian fusion restaurants serving almost identical fare. The newly opened Mr Chen took advantage of a hitherto uncatered niche, designing a menu with largely Taiwan, Shanghai and Beijing influences. The restaurant's undisputed star offering has got to be their soup dumplings which qualify as the best I have tasted in Westchester. Freshly made and steamed upon order by two Chinese ladies in a corner of the restaurant, they are served piping hot, the delicate dumpling skin just thick enough to hold the extremely tasty broth within. The Crabmeat & Pork Soup Dumpling is a clear favourite although the regular Pork Soup Dumplings are also very good. Apart from soup dumplings, Mr Chen offers a variety of delicious appetisers which could be shared family style, such as: - Beef Scallion Pancake (crispy pancake roll loaded with sliced beef, scallions and hoisin sauce) - Red Bean Paste Cakes (warm buttery flaky pastries filled with sweet red bean paste) - Boneless Spare Ribs (sweet savoury barbecued pork, aka char siew) - Pan Fried Pork Buns It's worth checking out the numerous vegetable stir fry options, whether it may be Sautéed Bok Choy / peppery String Beans/ garlicky Eggplants/ silky Pea Shoot Leaves/ crunchy Chinese Water Spinach. The latter two are seldom offered by Chinese restaurants in Westchester, I would encourage you to try them while here. We love their intensely aromatic Three Cup Chicken - hint of Chinese wine, touch of soy sauce, blend of scallions, ginger, garlic and basil leaves...the sautéed chicken cubes displaying a delightful medley of sweet, savory and aromatic flavors. If you are looking for a rice dish, I would recommend the Taiwanese style rice bowl -white rice topped with an assortment of pickles, pork floss, soy sauce braised pork and egg. A hearty meal on its own but also perfect for sharing. The herbal and mildly spiced Braised Beef Noodle Soup is competent although personally I would have preferred the broth to have more body and a richer flavor. Zha Jiang Mian, an ubiquitous noodle dish in China and Taiwan failed to make it onto Mr Chen's menu but there is always hope... Mr Chen offers a gateway to experience different traditions of Chinese cuisine, it's a great opportunity to explore and venture off the beaten path every now and then. After all isn't variety the spice of life? read more

I was a bit anxious to try the restaurant because reviews were all over the place. The decor is very nice and we were greeted immediately by a very friendly host. He also served as our waiter. He answered all my questions and was extremely attentive. My hubby and I tried the Plum wine. It was delicious since we like sweet drinks. We ordered the cucumber, it was refreshing but a bit bland. We had the scallion pancakes and they arrived quick and steaming hot and tasted good. The veggie spring rolls were ok. Of course they are known for their dumplings. We had the pork soup dumplings and they are to die for. Delicious!!! We also ordered General TSO chicken and Sesame beef. Beef tasted good and the sauce was nice but the meat was not tenderized and the pieces were too big. Had to use knife to cut them which was disappointing because I like eating with the chop sticks. The chicken pieces were humongous and I believe that affected the taste. Little flavor and the sauce was not great and the chicken was not velvetized either. The menu has many selections so I will visit again and try other foods. But will definitely have the pork soup dumplings again. read more

Situated where the old Haiku used to reside, Mr. Chen is a new spot on the ever popular and busy Mamaroneck Ave. I stopped in for lunch recently and was seated very quickly as it was slow around 1pm. Then again, that is pretty common at pretty much any spot on Mamaroneck Ave. during lunchtime. The interior is nice if unremarkable. The staff were quick to come by to take my drink order and drop off a menu. I opted for the sauteed string beans w. chicken & brown rice (from their lunch menu). The flavor was on point and kicked up a notch by the hot oil I asked for. The lunch special gives you a choice of 3 soups and I opted for the hot & sour. The portion sizes were just right and I felt like the price point was pot on at $10. All in all, a nice place that I'd not hesitate to stop in again. read more

Terrible quality. Fishy calamari, cheap quality meat , cheap quality rice. Terrible sauce. The worst Chinese place I've ever eaten from

I heard that the food was good so I put an order with door dash and when the order arrived I was very disappointed . I ordered spare ribs and they were under cooked and very fatty. The sesame noodles were good but it had a human black hair in them so the kitchen crew should be better trained to be more careful. The salt and pepper shrimp had the shells on them and were very bleached only one good one in the whole order. Also ordered general Tso chicken and it was old and very gamey I called the place and did not get a good response from the owner who told me to call door dash if I had a problem. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Poor customer service. read more

Generally good Chinese American food. Service is excellent. Absolutely the most American of Chinese food you will find. However, if you want real Cantonese, Mandarin, or Vietnamese food, you've got to go to Flushing Queens. The food here is usually very fresh but bland. I made the mistake of ordering a delivery at 4 PM on a Tuesday and the food I received was definitely from the day before. Stuff like this happens so it's no big deal. I'm sure when I'm craving for something remotely Asian, I will return. read more

Absolutely delicious! I have never been to a Chinese restaurant where they make the dumplings by hand where the customers are able to view the process! It was a super cool experience. I have no complaints whatsoever. I highly recommend you visit if you are not sure where to eat! read more

My mom has been there, and wanted me to try the wonton soup. So we went. I must say it was really good they were so thin and light! The soup didn't have much flavor, but the wontons were awesome. Then we split, scallion pancakes, fried dumplings and the chicken lettuce wraps. Everything was really good! Cooked perfectly. The service was very good. Not too much on the personality side though! But none the less it was very good, and I'd go bs k again! read more

Best Xiao Long Bao place in Westchester. You could find authentic Taiwanese food here. (I've never been to Taiwan anway... Just compare it with other Taiwanese restaurants I've tried before in China and US) Besides Xiao Long Bao, I also got some other courses. The braised pork had way too much fat in it and was too sweet. Pork with rice was okay. I like Beef noodle - huge meat chunks always make me satisfied... The price is slightly higher than most Chinese restaurants. But service is more attentive and environment is good too, not crowdy at all. read more

We really liked their soup dumplings! Hard to find good ones here outside of Queens. The lo mein noodles were pretty good. The orange chicken though was soo heavy and a disappointment. I don't like to negatively rate anything during this time, but had to say that dish I don't recommend. Was worth the visit though for the soup dumplings. And really liked the super friendly service! read more

Steam pork soup dumplings were over steamed but they still tasted ok. Eggplant chicken was tasty. Beef and string beans-beef was a bit over done. Pineapple chicken was the better choice. Overall, the food looks great but the Mei fun was burnt! read more

Delicious. 3 Cup chicken is great, shredded beef is delicious and any of the dim sum is just a winner. Just order your Chinese dinner here. You won't be unhappy or unsatisfied. read more

So happy to have real and classy Chinese food in Mamaroneck! There are a million general tso's chicken style restaurants all over the country, this is more unique, Shanghai style dumplings and such. I hope all the locals can get into it and support this restaurant for years to come. The soup dumplings are as good as you can get in flushing, and other traditional fare like fried rice are refreshingly vibrant and yummy. Kids love these kind of dumplings too, great for the whole family. read more

Watching the dumplings being made was nice and created a cool setting Beef noodle was good Service sucked Server was told I had a seafood allergy and brought shrimp instead of pork! It was covered in so much chili sauce we didn't notice and now Benadryl is needed. Server charged us for food the was never brought to the table or ordered! Will not be going again read more

Food was really good, especially the dumplings! We ate their on Christmas with a very large party and had no issue with service. Will definitely have to go back. read more

Food is authentic made to order. Dumplings are juicy except skin is a little thicker than my last visit. It takes a lot of skill to have thin skin and still holds the juice. We ordered braised beef soup noodle. I wish the soup was more spicy. Service was good. Only English speaking waitress. So we needed to point and order. Prices are reasonable. read more

Food is very fresh and they use good ingredients. They are fast, efficient and pleasant. We traveled half hour and food was still warm. We will order again. read more

We went there for a quick dinner before having to go to work. The decor is nice and still pretty new since they just opened about 6 month ago (according to the waitress I spoke to). As far as the food goes, it was just ok. We got the soup dumplings and out of the 6, 2 was broken. The meat inside the dumplings was dry and tough instead of tender and moist. You might think that's confusing since the dumpling has soup inside so how can it be dry? Well, this happens when the meat is overcooked. Compared to the soup dumplings at Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao in Flushing, this was pretty bad. The Braised Pork Belly was better but didn't really do much for me, especially at $19 for an ok portion. It tasted too much like American pulled pork. The service was prompt and the alcohol menu is relatively good priced. As far as authenticities goes, it definitely leans more into the realm of American Chinese food. read more

HORROR SHOW! We went here for Chinese New Year but got there early enough that we were seated right away. Four of us: couple, pre schooler and infant. The whole night was a poop show largely due to service. We saw any number of people leave without getting their dinner because service was so bad. People pretty much had their appetizers, got frustrated and left! The food is okay. I've had better street food (grab n go) in Chinatown NYC where I used to work. The other thing that ticked me off ... the server never asked if any one had nut allergies. I ordered the open pork bun sandwich not knowing they top the thing with ground up peanuts. That much peanuts was all it took for my four year old to have a reaction. Drinks horribly weak. NEVER AGAIN! ... I didn't even tip, and you have to be TERRIBLE for that to happen because I've worked in the service industry, front of the house & back. The thing with the peanuts is what did it! read more

Excellent Chinese food. I don't understand all the negative reviews here. The only underwhelming thing that we ordered was egg drop soup. The dumpling sauce is also not great. But the vegetable dumplings and scallion pancakes were very good. The general tsos chicken was all white meat and tasted amazing. The sautéed string beans were fresh and the perfect pairing to the chicken. Would gladly make the hour drive to eat there again soon! read more

I would say don't waste your money and time at their place. My family and I love Chinese food and recently moved to the neighborhood. We were very excited when we saw that this restaurant had soup dumplings. We picked up a take out order the other night and ordered some of our usual favorite dishes. We were all very disappointed once we sat down to eat. The dumplings had a funny taste to them and it looked the like pork was still pink and not cooked enough, the cold sesame noodles had a sour flavor and seemed like something was spoiled in the dish. The chicken with garlic was good, shrimp dish was over cooked and the fried rice had no flavor. Needless to say, we all agreed that it was disappointing. We will definitely be looking for a good Chinese food restaurant in the area. This one wasn't it. read more

This is the only one star review I have ever given, and I don't do it lightly bc I don't write angry or nasty reviews. I ordered pickup from here on Christmas day, and it took them 2.5 hours to prepare my food. I arrived at the restaurant an hour after I had placed the order, knowing that it was Christmas day and that they would be busy. As soon as I entered, the staff avoided eye contact and scurried past me. I tried to be understanding and waited ten minutes trying to catch someone's attention, until finally I had to tap on a waitress's shoulder to ask her about my order. She told me to ask someone else and ran away. Eventually, someone told me that my order would be ready in a few minutes. 30 minutes later I checked in again and was told to wait another 30 minutes. This continued until the restaurant had a handful of tables remaining, at which point I asked them if my order had even been put in. A waitress told me they were working their way through the tables first, and that they would prepare my food soon. I wouldn't have been angry if they were upfront with me and told me when I walked in that it would be an additional 1.5 hours until my food was ready so that I could have spent my time elsewhere. The staff was actively rude to me and did not offer a single apology. They also did not provide a discount or anything for taking so long with the food. The only reason I am giving this place a one star review is because of how I was treated. As a business, they should treat their customers with more respect. read more

We first visited several years ago because our son noticed that "Mister Chen's" reminded him of the noodle house that served as a front for Master Chen's empire in Ninjago. It turned out to be a great decision. Mister Chen's has become a family favorite and we have returned many times over the years. We highly recommend the pork soup dumplings, bok choi and the taiwanese noodles. read more
