After seeing a lot of good reviews on Next Door, we decided to give this place a try based on the recommendations. The food is fairly typical Chinese food, but it tastes much fresher than many places and the portions are absolutely huge. The staff are very friendly and appreciate new customers. Restaurants are really struggling in our current economy. We will try to go back and support them in the near future. The restaurant is located in a quiet nondescript shopping plaza with a decent number of parking spots. The restaurant is clean, including the restrooms. I highly recommend. read more

I was excited to see a few good reviews for this Chinese food on the neiborhood app. As take-out I ordered a $20 combination that included "vegetable" Lomein. HA - it turned out to really be "onions" and noodles. The rest of the combination wasn't great tasting either. They lost a customer that gets lots of take-out because I won't ever return. Course they have poker machines so that is where they'll make money and not care about inedible food. read more

Tastiest, most beautiful won ton soup!! Great prices, wonderful food, good portions. They have now added video lottery games for those who like them. Clean, friendly service. A+++ read more

Mr Chen's is superb!! Went there based mainly on the Facebook Nextdoor app reviews. I usually take these reviews with grain of salt, BUT, this place is fantastic!! Foods so good, the waitress was awesome (sorry, didn't get her name) but she's running the whole place on her own, except the cooking staff.. Oh, and after a yummy meal, why not drop a few dollars in the machines in the back room and test your luck!! We will be back!!! read more

Mr. Chen's is the neighborhood restaurant that you'll want to eat at for your entire life. The food is delicious, extremely affordable, and the owners are incredibly kind. Mr. Chen's recently got new ownership about six months ago, and it has quickly become my go-to lunch spot. Their lunch menu allows you to select one protein, fried rice, and an egg roll--all for under $10. In this economy, it's hard to find such delicious food at this price point; it's amazing. You can't beat it. Everything here is so good and tasty. It's a traditional Chinese-American restaurant that operates efficiently and affordably. I guarantee there isn't a better lunch option anywhere nearby. Just trust me. read more

Mr. Chen's Chinese Restaurant created quite the spread of food for my wife's birthday. The 10 people attending all rave about the food. It was great to try some items the 2 of us usually do not order, but may in the future. There was a common comment among all, that the hot mustard for the BBQ Pork was legit!! Nasal passages were cleared!!! The Honey Pineapple Chicken was very tasty, if you like sweet. The 2 orders of General Tsao's chicken were the first of the entrees finished off. Kung Pao Chicken was great as usual and the Ginger Beef had a wonderful lingering ginger flavor. The to-go Sweet & Sour Chicken was a great choice with the sauce on the side for the littles (2 & 4 year olds) loved that as chicken nuggets with tasty dipping sauce. They made 1 item for my son in-law that was not even on the menu, spelling is wrong but Beef Chow Fun-Dry was really good as well. Spring rolls were also very crisp and tasty, also as usual. For about the same cost as a pizza feed, getting great Chinese food was a welcome and great choice. I will keep going back and supporting this family business. read more

Food and service was great, my family and I enjoyed it very much. We ordered spicy shrimp Lo Mein, spicy beef broccoli, sesame chicken, spicy house fried rice, and the crab puffs. We enjoyed the option of making our food spicy. Very tasty, I recommend coming here. read more

Lunch special is good price. Food is meh at best. Fills you up but no real flavor. Had ordered Kung pao & wasn't spicy. Service was fine.

Five Stars for Flavor and Hospitality! I haven't had Chinese food done right in so long--and this place absolutely nailed it! From the moment we walked in, we were excited to see lunch combos on the menu (always a good sign), and they did not disappoint. The chow mein was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked--no soggy noodles or bland veggies here. It had that classic wok-tossed taste that's hard to find these days. And yes, they serve the traditional red sweet-and-sour sauce with hot mustard--a nostalgic touch that made the meal feel authentic and comforting. We also ordered chicken wings, and wow--freshly made, crispy, and juicy. Not reheated or greasy, just delicious. You can tell they care about quality. The owner is fantastic--warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the food. It's the kind of place where you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes and freshness. I'll definitely be back--for lunch, for takeout, maybe even both in the same week! If you're craving Chinese food that's done right, this spot is a must-try. read more

Tonite we ordered 1 General TSO's w/fried rice and a Sesame chicken w/white rice. The general TSO's had the rice with the chicken in the same container. The sesame chicken was in a container by its self and a container of white rice on side. Pretty disappointed, in the past there would be leftovers. Not this time. Beware this appears to be a new cost saving technique they are using to cut back on portions. read more

Finally some good Chinese to eat after doing errands. Good noodles, chicken and pork

Food is great and service. It was very clean, we will definitely go back, please try it out

My two friends and I went to lunch at Mr Kitchen/Chens Chinese this afternoon and all three if us were very happy with the service, food quality, quantity and price. The MarFar chicken, pork fried rice, vegetable lo mein, fried shrimp were extremely yummy. All of us had tons of leftovers. Everything was affordable and they have lunch specials as well. We will be back again & again. Highly recommend!! read more

The food is wonderful, fresh, and very tasty. The service is exceptional! I highly recommend Mr. Chen's Kitchen! I give it 5 Stars!

super high quality food! this place is something special.

Really disappointed. I called yesterday on Christmas to ask about their hours. When told they were open until 9:30 I said I would see them soon. We drove out and arrived 30 mins later. We were greeted at the door asking if we were picking up an order because they were turning away customers because they were too busy. I wish she had told me that before we drove out thereand saved us the trip. We won't go back. read more

The food and service was excellent. Our waitress was wonderful. Had a nice conversation with her, very friendly. Would differently recommend this restuarant. read more

Someone suggested Mr. Chen's for our staff Christmas Party- price point good, food was super good, everyone was pleased, nothing but positive feedback. We had special (very specific) dietary needs, and this person LOVES Chinese food, he has a new favorite Go-To Chinese Restaurant. I went to Restaurant to confirm all was well with order- staff was super nice, the place was spotless and you could tell they care, and extremely flexible and accommodating. Thank You to the Staff/Ownership of Mr. Chen's- you made our Holiday Party a Success. The Hampton Inn, Portland East/Gresham Staff are fans of your establishment, and we will refer our guests your way! And no worries, we will be back.

Amazing service, super welcoming and kind and great food. Nice little rockwood secret.

We were there Thursday afternoon late. We were the only people in the restaurant so we got terrific service. Sweet and sour chicken, hot and spicy beef, and deep fried shrimp! With two sides of pork fried rice, all came out hot. Everything was delicious and tasty. 3 people $45.00 including tip. Best of all Baskin and Robbins is right next door. See you again soon, your ad on TV peeked our interest. read more

I had Gen Tso's tofu. The tofu was magnificent, crunchiest I've ever had. Could have done with some veggies in it, although I know it usually doesn't come with veggies. Very hearty portion. It was a bit expensive, but everything was very good. The egg flower soup was also excellent. The four star review was because it felt a bit odd in there. I don't know why. read more

Decent food at a good price. We've never had a bad meal here. We like to get the Hot and Sour Soup and the Salt and Pepper Shrimp. I highly recommend them. If you are looking for gourmet food, go somewhere else. What they have here is rock solid for the price. read more

food was great. the server and service was great. the lunch special was filling and wasnt to expensive I'll most definitely be back.

If food was love this is a breakup, the level of disrespect shown by serving this burnt dry food and having the audacity to charge $75 like what I was eating was supposed to have some level of value was a slap in the face to Chinese restaurants everywhere, in a city where food is evidence of it's diversity and class, this meal was fit for the trash, it actually hurt to eat, it's a shame when panda express is a better than authentic mom and pop. Your offering to the city should be shuddered doors and anyone that says different was paid. I bought this food on a good day with love for my kids, I had to apologize to them, I'll never let you disrespect me or my money again. read more

We saw FB posts raving about this restaurant so we decided to give it a try. The food was mediocre at best. The hot and sour soup WAS good but who puts a large amount of canned corn in egg flower soup? Yuck! Maybe that's normal for some restaurants but we weren't used to it and it was awful. Sorry, Mr. Chens. We had high hopes but unfortunately, it appears you're posting your own raves on FB. We would come back for the hot and sour soup though. If you know anyone who likes that - this is your spot. read more
