Kung Pao Lunch Special
Ma S.

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.

mar far chicken, pork fried rice and spring rolls with a side of sweet and sour sauce.

My first time at Mr. Chen's Kitchen...was an amazing experience...the food/service/pricing and huge portions were excellent...the owner was amazing...the place was very clean which is a bonus for me...I highly recommend this place for a nice quiet relaxing atmosphere...

Black Pepper Beef. Melt in your mouth delicious
Jerry P.

Had the Black pepper beef today. It was melt in your mouth good So far everything I have had here has been so good. Today while I was eating, a fellow yelper sat in the booth behind me. I could hear him talk and he came in because of my reviews. He also said the food was delicious. Thank you yelpers for giving this place to try. You will not be sorry that you did. The food is that good. Please let them know that Jerry sent you ha ha.

Crab Puffs
Dharla H.

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.

Ellie M.

Very nice place. I LOVE the tangy chicken. Has a nice kick to it and the pork fried rice is the best I've ever had. If I lived in the area I'd definitely come again.

The dining area, very clean.

So much food. It's fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. I will definitely be coming back.

%100 worth it! Food was great, service was even better. Soup on the house, great establishment. Will be back very soon!

Captain’s Galley - Fish and House Chips

They moved again, to 80 NEBurnside, in the same plot of land that has Scrubby's car wash. The food…read moretruck looks the same, but they need to bring the pirate back. Right now Captain's Galley is hidden behind a newly arrived red psychedelic-painted Mexican food truck. The food is as delicious as ever. Fried but not greasy, no old oil taste. My usual order is fish, shrimp and clams, chips instead of fries. All made fresh to order. The chips are to die for, fried just right. The breading in the clams, shrimp and fish has just the right amount of seasoning. They are so not greasy that I can eat them all as finger food and wiping my fingers off on a napkin doesn't leave greasy streaks. All are served with a little coleslaw, generous amounts of cocktail sauce, a spicy but not too much so dipping sauce, and the best tarter sauce I ever had in my life. I found something new to make me happy. They have delicious fish tacos! Before trying these I had fast food fish tacos that were more crunchy breading than fish. Captain's Galley brings the fish! Perfectly seasoned fish with toppings in proportion and a nice drizzle of sauce. Now when I go back it's a tough decision as to what to get. If you ever in your life liked New England clam chowder, get yourself on over to Captain's Galley for theirs. I've had New England clam chowder many times in New England and this is so much better! It comes with oyster crackers. This clam chowder is fresh enough that it can survive 2 days in the refrigerator and still be delicious.

We drove here, because we're in the area. There was no one…read morethat we could see, we thought they're closed, we saw a sign: Open, but no one there, so I knocked at the window, finally someone showed up to help us. Because the temperature is less than 40 degrees, we hurried up with our order, so she can go back & close the windows, where it's warmer. We both ordered 2-3 fish and chowder. It took about 7 mins. maybe more, for our order to be done. I actually was disappointed: there were two or three (for hubby's order) fish sticks, (and they looked burned). I was hoping for some chips but I guess that was EXTRA, and we didn't order that. Total for mine is $10. The tartar sauce was filled with dill. The chowder (be both agreed), was salty! (We've tasted that SAME chowder elsewhere before). The lemon was fresh! (Probably, the only thing plus the dill, that's fresh there). This is the first time I wanted Fish & Chips, and Chowder, and no chips or fries. Totally my fault! I should have read the menu, and I shouldn't feel sorry for someone who is cold, and try to rush my order, when I only have seconds to pick what I wanted. I SHOULD have spend more time reading everything BEFORE I ordered. (I've ordered them so many times, in my life, I was assuming chips or fries came with the order).

Had an awesome time at The Observatory the other weekend. Unlike a lot of places, they run their…read moreHappy Hour on the weekend, which is what drew my partner and I in. You can absolutely smell the fish and vinegar as soon as you walk through the door, which I think gives the place a very homey pub feel. I ordered a spiked peach Arnold Palmer, which I enjoyed (and it was pleasantly strong) and a glass of the house white, which was good for the price. Our server was very fast and attentive. To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough. Overall, a wonderful experience. I definitely hope to return. I highly recommend this place as a refuge during the cold winter months!

You know what I will admit that my ardor for The Observatory has cooled over time. I do still count…read moretheir rosemary pear martini as my favorite cocktail in town - and really their cocktail menu overall is still excellent. But the last few times I've stopped in for a meal, it feels like the food isn't quite as impressive as it used to be. Could be all in my head. Not sure. But it's always a nice spot to hang out and chat with friends, you can get seated quicker if you enter through Over & Out, which basically functions as an extension of the main Observatory, with it's own bar and pool tables.
