Average Chinese food inside of a supermarket. Lots of options and go to staples. Would rate higher but I'm big on customer service and servers lack interpersonal skills and always appear rushed while taking my order. For that reason I would rather go to a lesser known Chinese restaurant with better customer service. read more

Try the egg drop soup. Excellent. Affordable. Food is delicious. Friendly staff.

Always yummy, call ahead is on time and I don't have yo check everything before leaving because it's always correct! Nice assortment of AUTHENTIC CHINESE CUISINE. This is going to be the ONLY place in MS with REAL chinese food. I've been at least 15 times and it never disappoints read more

By far one of the best Chinese restaurants around. The grocery is super cool too. Authentic and amazing! My kids love the Mango slushes!! They do not have a bad thing on the menu, it is all good. My favorites are the basil chicken, kung pao chicken, cilantro pork bellies and fried dumplings. My kids always get the sesame chicken and share it; they always have left overs - portions are generous! They also have a location in Little Rock, that is just as good! If you are in jackson or any town with a Mr. Chen's it is a MUST GO!! read more

Great little restaurant. Food was delicious. Wait staff was very attentive. Really enjoyed this little hidden gem.

I had gotten my hopes up when I saw a four star Chinese restaurant and thought I'd get some really good cuisine. However I was sorely disappointed. The orange chicken looked like a mixture of batter and chicken parts. The fried rice wasn't all that great and the egg roll tasted like fish. I won't be going back to dine but the Chinese market was kinda cool. read more

I want to like Mr. Chen's because it seems very authentic, however I never really like my food... I like the grocery store though. What really got me was when a member of our party asked if they had brown rice and they said no. Ok, I understand that. They then asked they could substitute the side of rice for something else like vegetables (for health reasons). They were again told no. No explanation, no extra charge, just plain no. I just don't see how exchanging rice for vegetables was an impossible request..... read more

I can't believe that I have not reviewed Mr Chens until now. This place is awesome. They've upgraded the ambiance since I first started coming here so thats a plus. But even when it was just a plain storefront dining space the food was enough to get a 4 star minimum. Their lunch special is a pretty good deal and they can get those out fast. The dinner is generous portions and absolutely delicious. They have an extensive menu that covers the standard american style takeout Chinese menu but reaches much further than that. Just check the menu out yourself. I have not had a bad item yet. It is helpfully organized by what meat the dish is. What I love about this is that I can grab a cheap vegetable dish, a meat dish, it comes with rice and I'll be good to go for a meal for two or three people all for under $20. They are reasonably quick with it, but if you call in your order, you still have plenty of time to get there. Not sure if i should review the grocery store in this review too but it is great. Hard to find things sometimes, but extensive stock of sauces, vinegars, lots of rice, and any random ingredient you need if you're cooking Asian food at home. read more

I was working in Jackson for one day. Was having Gallbladder pain and did not want fries burger and usual road eats. I looked on YELP and Mr. Chen's was next door to hotel with good reviews. Entering place was great walking through Grocery store to get to restaurant. I ordered the pot sticker and Chicken fried rice. IT WAS ALL GREAT. Not wanting any PAIN from GB I only ate half. Saved the rest to take home to share my fabulous discovery. Service was fine not busy so attentiveness was spot on. Got two hours from hotel and realized I FORGOT THE FOOD. I all most turned around .. read more

There no contest that Mr. Chen's is the best Chinese food in the Jackson area. Everything is cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful. The prices aren't exorbitant. I highly recommend the lotus leaf sticky rice and the twice-cooked pork. In fact, as I'm writing this I'm contemplating lunch, and that's exactly what I'm going to go get. read more

This is the best Chinese food in Jackson. Great place to eat and then wander around the large grocery section afterwards to browse the huge selection of ramen or candy or exotic veggies. If you're a spicey person try chens crazy spicy chicken. read more

Thus far the best Chinese restaurant I know. The Chow fun combo is so good. If you're looking for a good place to eat. Mr. CHENS its a good place to go. read more

Fantastic! Our family eats here often. The food is always plentiful and well worth the affordable price. Fresh and delicious. If I had one complaint it would be that the menu is way too big. read more

I can't believe people wrote and said this is "the best" Chinese restaurant. I think you are mistaking "best" for "ONLY." It was my first Friday here in Jackson after a long time away from home, and I decided to treat myself out to lunch. I wanted Asian food because I missed home (basically, I missed rice). I looked up on Yelp! that Mr. Chen's was good and decide to make the trip up from Downtown. I have been to the grocery store before, but this was my first time noticing that there is a restaurant right next door. The people spoke some sort of Chinese (I believe Taiwanese) so I was getting super excited to be in the same room as people who look like me. They handed me a menu and for lunch it was cheap- an entree with a side and egg roll, so I ordered Sesame Chicken. Yum! I even ordered myself a milk tea while I was at it because I was going to savor all of the Asian as I can possibly get before I leave. The milk tea was the first to arrive and it was... bland. There was an odd powdery texture that I wasn't a fan of and I've had bubble tea from places made of power before so I forgave them for that. But my milk tea was warm and there was no ice in there, and the flavor was awful. Alright- well, not everyone can make milk tea. Then comes the food. The fried rice was alright. The rice was cooked well and at that point I had missed fried rice so much I didn't mind. However, I took a bite of a pea and I was yet again heartbroken. It was probably frozen and it seems as if they left the pea out to thaw and added it into the mixture last minute. The veggies were hard yet falling apart at the same. That wasn't cool. I took a bite out of the egg roll and it was the first and last bite I took of that thing. It was probably another frozen thing, who knows? I don't actually have an excuse for it- the veggies were sour and it tasted like dish soap. The chicken was the only saving part of my meal, but even that wasn't so great. The sauce was basically sweet and sour sauce with sesame on top. There was a good amount of chicken, so I was thankful for that, but there was even a larger amount of sauce on it. Basically with every other bite of chicken I was taking in either the rice (without veggies) or drinking the awful milk tea to balance it out. I brought my milk tea back to the office with me but it sat on my desk for the rest of the day until I threw it out. Thankfully that weekend my roommate and I went to Panda Express in Flowood and my love of Chinese food has been restored. (Edit: This is a joke! Will never hate Chinese food, just the way Mississippi makes it) TL;DR: Go to Panda Express if you want Chinese food (and milk tea). read more

I can't believe I've been eating at Mr. Chen's for years, and never left a review! I and several friends have been shopping and eating in Mr Chen's grocery store/ restaurant since they very first opened. Since then, it's only improved as inventory has grown and the restaurant has been renovated. First off: I LOVE the lazy susan tables that encourage family style dining for groups. This lets everyone try each dish without being unsanitary, and each diner still has their own plate to eat from. Service: Always great, even during busy hours. I've always been seated promptly (even our large groups at the lazy susan tables) and had our orders taken in a timely manner. Dishes come out hot and drinks get plentiful refills. As to the food - I've tried MANY of their dishes and haven't had a bad pick yet. The seafood is often fresh from their tanks in the back - whole stone fish steamed in aromatic herbs has been hands down one of the best specials I've tried. The sauteed sweetpea leaves are a vegetable side that our table always gets. As to their regular dishes, I'd recommend several. The Crazy Chicken, a house special, is small fried chicken and tofu pieces with a little pepper kick. The Mapo Tofu dish is always well seasoned and warm. And their hot pot plates are all good. I personally love the pork and basil hot pot but continue to try them all. Even their regular items that you'll find at any Chinese takeout in town - sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, crab rangoon, etc - are on point. Sometimes jellyfish, conch, and other delicacies are available. Our waitresses have been skeptical in the past that we'd like them, but we try them all happily. Also - if you like a dish mild or spicy, let them know and the cooks will work with your request. Five stars, will continue to come again and again. read more

Eh. We met up for lunch here with my husband's friend. You have to walk through the market to get to the restaurant and the smells (old fish? or it looked like maybe the bamboo plants near the front were sitting in murky water?) were highly unappetizing. The crab wontons were okay, although heavy on the cream cheese and very light on the crab. I had the Kung Pao chicken, which claimed to be spicy. I think the chilies were old because I could eat them without feeling a hint of heat; normally I don't even bother trying to eat them. My husband had the beef broccoli and thought it was gross and did not finish it at all. It had a weird slimy texture to it. Also this is not "Authentic" Chinese cooking; it is Americanized Chinese cooking. I would not return to this restaurant. read more

Best chinese in the area. Not your typical buffet, but a plate lunch that is satisfying and very good. I highly recommend the Mongolian Beef. Cooked perfectly and spiced perfectly. The crab wonton appetizer is good, but you get plenty of them to eat! I highly recommend Mr. Chen's. Fresh, good, delicious food. That's all you need to know. read more

I don't know how good this place was years ago but as for right now in 2021 its very disappointing the food was really bland and I feel I wasted my money. I've had authentic Chinese food before in Texas with strong flavor but this was just very underwhelming. I got the spicy braised tofu but it wasn't even spicy just a bunch of greasy red sauce with no flavor! And the meat from the Taiwanese panfried noodles was mushy and soggy this place has high reviews so I expected it to taste good. I really wanted it to taste good for the price but it just didn't huge let down. Only reason why I'm not giving one star cause the dumplings were decent. Not the best but just decent. Definetly better places to spend your money. And it also smelled rotten in there. read more

The reviews of this place told me if I want Chinese food, gotta go to Mr. Chen's. Glad I did, the meal was overall tasty and satisfying. Thankfully the pictures on Yelp were a good guide to what it looks like from the outside. Went in, sat down, started looking at a menu quickly. Staff was friendly, nice, well-dressed and well-mannered. Got my drink order and left me to myself. I desired something with good vegetabls (carrots, sugar peas or snap peas, broccoli, baby corn, etc) and chicken, but when I saw Crazy Spicy chicken and the photo from Yelp, had to go for it. Although tasty, a little underwhelming. The pictures on here definitely are representative, but I would not call it "crazy spicy". It was basically small popcorn chicken-like pieces coated with lots of black pepper and tossed with various peppers. No other vegetables! I was tempted to just order a side of vegetables but in the end figured I'd save it for a return trip. Also got a tapioca milk tea on the side. Been a minute since I had a bubble tea :) Overall good place for a Chinese food fix. Kind of far from me so I'm not sure how willing I will be for repeat visits, but worth it nonetheless. read more

Great quality of food and taste! I love that they have roast duck constantly! The restaurant is connected to the grocery store and this is the best asian grocery store I've been to in Mississippi! read more

Mr Chen's - Jackson - Chinese Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Located inside a supermarket, Mr. Chen's isn't exactly the place you'd look for great Chinese food. The smell of fish tends to drift in the restaurant from the supermarket, but that's really the only con. The food is fresh and amazing, and their bubble tea is excellent. We've never had to wait (though the restaurant is always full) and service is fast. read more

Good food but be prepared for the smell. It's a grocery store as well and they have some unusual items and fresh seafood. Interesting place.

This place is awesome as a grocery store and restaurant. Food is fresh and delicioous. I love their frozen sushi grade tuna. I could spend hours in this place!! If you've never been go. Great freah seafood, fish, Bullfrogs and Blue crabs!! read more

Great spot, good service, good food, and really large portions. My son and I had dinner with 8 friends and had a good variety of Mr. Chens fair, all was good, fast and friendly. If you like Chinese food you need to give them a try, full Asian grocery store next door that is really cool as well. read more

This place is inside an Asian food market to the left as you walk in. The food is super reasonably priced and has been really good every time I've been there. The strip-center is sketchy as can be, but the food is always great. Looks can be deceiving and this place is brick and mortar proof of it. read more

A hidden gem! This restaurant serves a wide variety of authentic Chinese food with generous portions and reasonable prices. I would not have noticed the place, much less ventured in, except for the high recommendation of a coworker friend. Located in an older strip shopping center along Interstate 55 and attached to an Asian grocery next door, it is easy to overlook. But inside, they serve some of the most delicious food this size of Beijing. This place is among my top five favorite restaurants in Jackson and among my top five favorite Chinese restaurants around the country! read more

Mr. Chen's is probably the most authentic Chinese food you'll find in Mississippi! I've been here numerous times and tried a variety of items on the menu, and they were all delicious. I especially love their Bubble Tea! No one in the area even comes close to comparing with ether tea. They're menu is also MASSIVE, so everyone can find something they like. The restaurant also has a grocery store attached with lots of great meat, produce, candy, and other items. I have to force myself to avoid the sweets aisle every time I visit! The Green Tea Swiss Rolls are fantastic. The only downside is that the smell of the seafood from the grocery side can drift into the restaurant which makes eating a little awkward. This is fairly rare though, so I highly recommend you to try this! read more

I was surprised it was as bad as it was, with the previous ratings they must have been eat in. The Broccoli Beef was good, the fried rice was cold and the crab wontons were cold and greasy. No soy sauce or anything. No fork spoon or even a napkin. Being in a hotel I was left with fingers. read more

I've been to Mr. Chen's several times and have never been disappointed. I like to get the General Tso's Chicken with fried rice and share a bowl of their hot and sour seafood soup. The portions are large and the food is very good. Everything tastes very fresh and it definitely lives up to having "authentic" in the name. After your meal you should walk around the grocery store a bit. They have some super cool things for sale. read more

Best Chinese in the Jackson area! There's nothing in it's league around the Metro. Try the wonton soup and Triple Delight with the spicy sauce you have to ask for. read more

This is the absolute best authentic style restaurant that I've been to. All of the food, especially Dim Sum, is the best I've found!

Worst experience I've ever had in the restaurant, we ordered a large chicken fried rice and shrimp. They gave us two pieces of shrimp and charges two dollars for it in this large container of rice the eggrolls are miniature eggrolls and for this eggrolls and large rice we paid $11 for this. We shall never retire if I had the option to give them no stars I would've gave them zero stars. Buyers beware stay away from this place. read more

When Mr. Chen's opened around the corner I was a bit skeptical. But, they didn't disappoint. The restaurant features Asian cooking. Not Asian-American but Asian. Oh, they have some typically Asian-American fare such as General Tso's Chicken but most of the menu is truly more Asian than American. Wonderful dishes available that I haven't had since I was stationed in Hawaii. BTW, their Peking Duck is a great substitute for a Turkey if you are having a small get together. And the Asian Grocery is a godsend to get things you just can't find this side of the Mississippi usually. read more

This has a solid shot at being the best Chinese restaurant in the Jackson area. Based on the clientele and some of the other dishes I saw on tables, I expect that this is more "authentic" Chinese food than most others. For starters, this is not a buffet. You order from the menu which is quite lengthy. I think anyone should be able to find something to suit their tastes. I've had the Crazy Spicy Chicken, which is good, but not particularly spicy. I've also had the Orange Chicken which is very tasty. My daughter had the Rosemary Chicken, which was an impressive and very good dish served in a small cast iron kettle. The one down side would be the um...aromas that are often present from the seafood section of the "Oriental Market" that is in the same building. (By the way, I thought that Asians were offended by the term Oriental. Perhaps that is something created by uptight white people?) At any rate, I have been there once when something had obviously gone bad in the seafood section of the market, not the restaurant. I could barely enter the building and chose not to stay on that trip! If that is not the case when you go (and it has been on only one occasion for me) take the time to stroll through the market. You may find something you have to try! read more

We absolutely love this place!! We made sure to stop twice on our recent trip/ going and coming/ and now our family in the area has the luxury of visiting it too! Great food and service, huge portions. The pineapple shrimp is the best! It may be 6 hours away, but we will be back! read more

I've been here three times and ordered three different dishes. Every one has exceeded expectations, and was expertly prepared. This may be one of the better Asain food places I've ever eaten at. read more

Ok. So, yes, once we found a used condom in the parking lot. Yes, it doesn't look like much from the outside. But, guys, this food is great. Once you walk in, on your right you find an Asian market, and on the left is a cozy dining area. They just remodeled and it looks really nice. It's served family style. And the prices are very reasonable. You could easily share one dish between two people. But where's the fun in that? I love going in groups and ordering a bunch of different entrees and sharing. Plus, there's tons of variety. And the food is tasty. Seaweed salad is generous in taste and portion. I you like sweet, the pineapple shrimp is good. Mongolian beef is good, as well. If you like spicy, they got it! And it's marked. Bottom line: best Chinese food in Jackson! read more

I was not expecting to be able to get such tasty Chinese food when I moved to Jackson, but I have been very pleasantly surprised by Mr. Chen's. I have eaten here probably five times in the past 11 months, which is a lot of times to go to one restaurant for me! I always get the mapo tofu and the stir fried green beans, which are awesome and Szechuan style. Since I'm a vegetarian, I just ask them to leave out the meat on both entrees. Both are super tasty and comparable to Szechuan style Chinese food I used to get in Washington DC before moving to Jackson. Highly recommended for tasty vegetarian food! read more

Absolutely Amazing, Authentic, Aromatic, Appetizing and alliteration aside an overall great place for Asian cuisine. Customer service was outstanding. Literally every employee there was smiling and friendly. Wish all experiences were like this. read more

I usually order the beef noodle soup. This time I decided to try something else. Got the Mongolian beef, dumpling, and stir fry noodle. It was not bad. But good lawd, how much MSG did they put in there?!?! Been feeling it all night. I'll just stick with the beef noodle next time. read more
