Phu Chen Kitchen is an Inland Empire gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by some of the nicest people who genuinely care about their customers. You can tell they have a lot of frequent regulars and that they really take the time to get to know the people who come in, it gives the place such a warm, welcoming feel. Everything is made to order, and the freshness really shows in every dish. The restaurant itself is very clean, including the restroom, which I always appreciate and notice. Highly recommend the salt and pepper pork chop! Absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. If you're looking for great food, friendly service, and a place that feels like a neighborhood favorite, give Phu Chen Kitchen a try! read more

First time ordering takeout. Friendly service and decent portions. Chicken fried rice had good wok flavor but needed more soy sauce. Broccoli beef was the standout--great flavor and perfectly cooked broccoli with a nice crunch. (I was told it comes with 16 oz of beef, though it didn't quite seem like it.) Orange chicken was disappointing--thin, chewy strips with barely any meat. Would not recommend. Pan-fried dumplings were clearly deep-fried (visually obvious) and came out dry--also wouldn't recommend. read more

Fantastic food, so delicious and savory. True flavors without adding an MSG. All the ingredients are fresh and new. The chef knows how to balance flavor and textures. Outstanding. This place is a hidden gem. Hong Kong/southern flavors that don't overburden your pallet. Highly recommended . Sweet-and-sour Soup - best I've experienced in ages. Highly recommend Kung Poa and Orange chicken dishes. Plus great Mapo Tofu (if you like spicy - ask) tofo is very tender and fresh. And I can't say enough about the green beans - #1 in soCal. Crispy and very fresh read more

Update 9/4/2025 It's been almost 2 years and a half that I have been a regular customer here. Stellar service by Mike and the chef 's wife ! Some lobster seafood dishes, Hainan chicken and BBQ pork have to be called in and ordered in few days advance ensuring freshness !!! Today we had a birthday celebration that I had reserved days in advance for 14 people! Everyone enjoyed all the dishes ! All dishes always cooked fresh upon ordering !!!! Chef Paul is aware of one of my grandson's peanut allergy so all were prepared with caution from cross contamination!!! Among the dishes we ordered today were: Steamed rice Pan Fried noodles with beef BBQ pork buns New pan fried pork buns Crispy pan fried noodles with beef Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce Chicken fried rice Spicy & Regular orange chicken Fried shrimp with Salt & pepper Honey Walnut Shrimp ( walnuts separately on another plate) Black Pepper Beef Mignon Xiao Long Bao steamed dumplings Braised String Beans Was a busy night tonight almost a full house !! read more

Phu Chen Kitchen - Dim Sum Near Me - Fontana, California

This place is amazing. It's a small and humble Chinese restaurant that serves incredibly delicious food. From the friendly service and welcoming atmosphere to the high quality food--both dine in and take out, this place is definitely worth a try whenever you're in the area. My personal favorites are the Japanese tofu, chicken wings, and house special fish fillet. Japanese tofu has the perfect softest tofu ever. The chicken wings are so crispy and juicy, I think about them so often. And last but not least, the house special fish fillet is a soft fish that is full of flavor--so easy to eat and to order again and again. read more

Phu Chen Kitchen has been raved about by my Yelpie friends for the longest time. I had the intention to check it out one day. Funny, I was at Wal-Mart parking lot and I happened to look up. Guess what I saw? The biz name Phu Chen right across the street from Wal-mart. I said since I am nearby, I might as well. My first time here was for take-out. Staff was welcoming. Food was ready timely. Shrimp gaw was gigantic and full of shrimp... it almost covered my entire palm! It was that big. It had great flavor. Chicken wings were amazing! Veggie chow mein was okay. It needed more wok flavor IMHO. Portions were very good though. My second time here was for dine-in with my Yelpie friend. I noticed the person taking our order was giving the attention primarily to my friend as if I wasn't there. It's all good. I'm not a regular customer. She is. But still... good customer service should be given regardless of frequency of visits. However, the other staff member was very attentive and took great care of us throughout our 5 hours of dining LOL. Thank you sir! The young lady behind the counter was very nice, too. Thank you miss! Our dine-in meal was very delicious overall. Fish maw soup was quite flavorful... I enjoyed it very much. Garlic string beans were crispy, firm, and tasty... it's a winner... must get every time! Fried pork belly was decent. It didn't have any WOW factor to it. The batter needed more seasoning IMHO. Seafood chow mein had a lot of yellow noodles topped with a good amount of fresh tasting seafood. I love my seafood! Last, but not least, shrimp gaw shined again! Great selections of Chinese foods in huge portions, good amount of inside seating space, and wonderful service! Plenty of free parking. What are you waiting for... come on by and check out Phu Chen! read more

My mom loves Chinese food so anytime we visit town we try a new spot and this one was a clear winner! We tried the orange chicken, kung pao beef, and honey walnut shrimp. All of the dishes were cooked well and had the perfect amount of sauce. Our favorite was the orange chicken, perfectly crispy and right balance of meat/batter. This is a family owned restaurant and our waitress was prompt and super nice. Everything is clean and well maintained. We dug in before I took the photos so presentation is much nicer than I captured lol read more

This is one of those little family spots you go for some authentic homemade Chinese food. Everything was excellent and fresh! We ordered the Kung pao beef, crispy orange chicken, and honey walnut shrimp with sides of rice. I wish I took pictures but everything came out looking so good we just dove in and ate it lol Service was awesome, food came out so fast for us like they whipped it up the moment they took the order - I think this it's family owned but you can tell the people who did come in were repeat and friendly with the workers/owners. Will be returning for some authentic, and well-priced Chinese food in Fontana! Thanks! read more

I just moved to the area and was craving some dim sum. So glad I found this place down the street! It's in the same center as the bowling alley, so there's tons of parking. When I called my order in, I was told 20 minutes but I ended up waiting another 15 after I got there. No biggie, they were busy. I ordered XLB, shumai, har gow, and a boba Thai tea. XLB (4 stars) - 12 pieces in an order and they were each on a cute little aluminum tray. Presumably to hold in any soup that may leak out. And even after a bumpy ride home, each little dumpling survived. It wasn't the soupiest XLB, but definitely juicy. Flavor was good. Would order again. I do rate all XLB against Din Tai Fung... so 4 stars is pretty solid. Shumai (5+ stars) - shumai is one of my favorite dim sum orders... this place was LEGIT. Hefty sized shumai and absolutely delicious. You get 4 pieces in the order, and it's enough to fill me up. *Spectacular! Give me 14 of em right now!* Har gow (4 stars) - shrimp ratio wasn't bad. Wrapper was a bit thick but no biggie. We like the carbs. Boba Thai tea (4.5 stars) - boba was soft and chewy and that Thai tea was your average Thai tea. It's definitely on the sweet side... so you've been warned. Dim sum in Fontana... this is the place to go. read more

A great friend of ours raved about Phu Chen Kitchen and asked us to give them a try, and she was right, this place is so good. Came here one evening for dinner. We ordered the following dishes: - House Special Pan Fried Noodle w/Shrimp, Chicken & Beef - Beef w/Ginger & Green Onion Both dishes were so good. The portion was generous. We couldn't finish our foods and had to take them home. The staffs were kind and friendly. The dining area are modern and clean. Overall, we enjoyed dining here. Would definitely come back to try out their other dishes. Glad our friend recommended this place! read more

Number 44 in Yelps top 100 Chinese restaurants in America and number 7 in California. If Yelp wants to be taken seriously they have to do better research on their list. No way this restaurant should be in the top 100. It's a disservice to this good restaurant. They serve fine food but the expectation is a lot higher when you are ranked so high on any list. We tried several dishes, the orange chicken was okay, the fried rice was fine, and the noodles were average. The soup dumplings were definitely not the best tasting in the area. I drove 30 minutes to try this place because of Yelps list and it definitely was not worth the drive. You can try better or comparable Chinese restaurants in adjacent cities near this place. It's a fine place and the workers are nice, but come on. read more

You say, dim sum? I say, where? This is a rare find for the Inland Empire! Well hidden in a small nondescript street mall, it looks like another ordinary, fast food Chinese restaurant. But it's not. Even though there is a short list of dim sum on the menu, and they do not do the charming, traditional cart delivery, it didn't matter. What they did have is mind boggling freshly made, and huge. The entrees were equally wonderful. Har gow - these are filled with sweet shrimp. The plump shrimp were quite fresh. 4 per order. Siu mai -these are much bigger than most with an exquisite pork/ shrimp filling. This was the #1 favorite. 4 per order. Salt and pepper shrimp- if you love the presentation of the whole shrimp with head on, this is what we got. Fresh, plump, sweet, and an abundance in one order, we were amazed. Yum! Steamed bao - tender sweet steamed bun with a nice bbq pork filling. 3 per order. Always a favorite when done right, which this was. Crispy noodle with beef - I am always looking for a good version of this, and this was a winner! The noodles had a crispy edge, the meat was so tender, you didnt need teeth. My only wish was there was more meat, but the dish itself was flawless. Mapo tofu - always my husband's favorite. This was outstanding. We were so pleased with our meal, we took the plunge and brought the entire dim-sum-vacuuming family (all 9 of us) here on Thanksgiving Day. And yes, they were open! And yes, my bunch of dim sum gobblers came away exceedingly happy. For Thanksgiving we tried additional dishes including the fried chicken wings, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Orange chicken, ginger beef, braised green beans, salt & pepper pork, and a delicately sweet finale of freshly fried, red bean sesame balls. None were disappointing. The smells were wonderful. The food was so fresh. Everything was incredibly tender and the portion sizes, oh my! OK, so I got a little too enthusiastic. We really didn't need to order so much. But our 3 households came home with tons of leftovers and even bigger smiles on our faces. There is one, separate room that can accommodate large and small groups comfortably. The decor is attractive but relatively simple as compared to the more garish decors we find at the bigger Chinese establishments. The service was great. Of note, there are a few menu items listed as Special Orders that excite me: Ginger and onion lobster (or crab). They will also do oysters even though not on the menu. But, these must be ordered 2 days in advance. Phu Chen has far exceeded our expectations, even after the giddy anticipation from reading all their glowing reviews. To Monterey Park and Chinatown I say, hasta la vista baby! I am perfectly happy to feed the dim sum beast here when it raises its ugly head. read more

UPDATE!! Thank you for responding for my review, Paul. My suggestion to you is for the next takeout customer you should personally check their food so that the customer will not think that their were scammed. If you cant do that consistently, then your response should be more apologetic and own that mistake. For anyone that will try this restaurant, Food is good, I came several times just to try different things. Some food needs to order days in advance for whatever reason. But after my takeout experience and Paul response. I decided NOT to come to this place. You guys dont deserve my business, Paul. Just check your takeout food before you leave the restaurant!! read more

I came here with the most wonderful group of family friends about 6 days ago for a lunch around 12:30 pm. I couldn't believe how clean this place was inside this hidden gem! The owners and all the workers here are so down to earth, friendly and exemplify the most excellent customer service! And, oh my, was the food so extraordinary!!! We came here for a celebration of my going away for 2 months as well. Other items we had were... white rice, Chow mein, Kung Pow chicken, We all ordered food and shared everything! We had so much wonderfully made food. A special thanks to V for the ordering and taking care of our part. Another special thanks to the rest of everyone for showing up, sharing is caring and letting me take many leftovers home! We had so many foods...my favorite was the awesome orange chicken. I also loved the beef and broccoli. We also had Kung Pow Chicken, fried pork belly, white rice, Chow mein, steamed dumplings, fried chicken wings, sesame balls, veggie egg rolls, a fresh green bean dish, steamed pork Shao Mai, and steamed chicken bun. All the food was so fresh and super tasty! They have a good amount of space and seating inside. The cleanest restroom. I recommend this place to everyone to try. Thanks to Net & Bien for inviting us all here and making my last couple of days here for 2024 a great one! I can't wait to come back here again as soon as possible in February 2025 when I am back!!! So much good company, great food, and laughter with all here! Thank you Phu Chen for a great day and allowing us to stay here for over 4 hours past 4:30 pm. Much success for this restaurant, come check it out!!! read more

11/27/24 Exceptional Chinese food, phenomenal service, family owned restaurant--come & enjoy! Met up with a bunch of great friends at this place that was recommended by one of the regulars. It's somewhat our Friendsgiving get together & it was the perfect location because of the warm reception we have encountered. We all ordered what we wanted to eat & share-family style. Check out the photos, YES, it's a whole lotta of food!!! Everything is simply bursting with flavor--seasoning is just right, I tried everything! I am impressed. As always, my favorite, the XLB--juicy & flavorful broth, tasty! It paired so well with its accompanying red wine vinegar & ginger. Peter, our host (co-owner) kept checking up on us and he was very welcoming & gracious. Paul (co-owner) was behind the scenes at the kitchen ensuring everything came out tasty & delicious. It's been a while since I've had really good Chinese food--and to have amazing service to boot! I am so glad our friends recommend this place that they frequent with their family. Come check this place out! Parking is free. Restroom is sparkling clean. read more

Just about everyone rated this place with five stars (like John Lydgate said, "you can't please all of the people all of the time"), so we had to check it out. First of all, it's a little trouble to find. GPS sent us into the wrong shopping area (corner) instead of the next strip mall. From Foothill, enter the driveway and make a left into the strip mall. The restaurant is at the very end of the strip mall. (If you end up at Bowlero, you failed to make the left turn.) The food transcends most Chinese food you've ever had. I attribute the flavor to the freshness of the food and to the perfect seasoning. We had the Kung Pao dish with the three meats, the Orange Chicken (uniquely prepared in thin slices, not chunks), and the Mongolian Beef. (I listed them in order of joy.) Don't be deterred by the prices (about $14-$16 per dish) because you are going to have enough to take home for later. And don't be deterred by its location. It's best accessible from the 210 freeway at the Sierra exit. It's a local delight. As we sat there waiting and eating and watching UCLA lose to LSU, we saw locals drop by to eat on site, to pick up take out, and just to get a large boba drink. Most of the customers seemed to be friendly with the server and the man with the hat (owner? manager?). Good vibe. If you sit down to eat, you will order at the table and pay at the counter. I encourage everyone to check it out once. read more

Quality, premium Chinese food at not-premium prices! Everything taste spot on, it's like China Republic at Red Chilli prices lol

I really wanted to like this place. To a certain extent I do, but I think flavor was lacking. In other words it was bland. Each dish should have its own unique flavor. Both the Kung Pao Chicken & Beef Broccoli tasted the same. Which should not be. The Kung Pao Chicken was not spicy at all, and did not have that Kung Pao flavor. The good thing is that the ingredients seem fresh and freshly made. Service was good and friendly. For the restaurant prices one expects more. I can't recommend at this time.. read more

I have been to this establishment pretty much since it opened and have never experienced anything but courteous professionalism and caring owners, who are concerned with providing great service, excellent food, and making all customers are satisfied with their experience at Phu Chen. It's sad to see any negativity from reviewers who feel otherwise. All the improvements made by this establishment to provide a better experience, shows the true dedication the owners have for their customers experience each and time they visit. Great ambience for family's and larger groups to enjoy.Great job Phu Chen, you have my vote for a 5 Star every time. Thank You Always read more

I enjoyed Phu Chen Kitchen. The BBQ Bao was delicious, soft and fluffy. The Orange Chicken was crispy, well sauced, and the Beef Fried Rice was savory with tender beef to boot. Wonderful food. Unfortunately, the service leaves a bit to be desired. If you're looking for a warm, friendly environment, skip this restaurant. They're very blunt. The restaurant itself is very clean, but the table next to my party went uncleaned for an uncomfortable amount of time. To end the meal, there was no fortune cookie. So, if you're looking for that classic experience then I'd recommend going elsewhere or getting dessert after. All in all, it was delicious and worth your trip if you don't mind a few hiccups. read more

Omg we found a new hidden gem in the IE!!! Absolutely delish! We ordered chicken fried rice, ginger onion beef and can't go wrong with orange chicken. The beef was cooked perfectly, tender not overly chewy. The flavors are so authentic. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our food. Only down part was they forgot to make our pan fried dumplings. But we will definitely be back! My husband can't wait to try the Hot and Sour soup. Thank you for the hospitality and delicious dinner! read more

This place is a little gem. Definitely a must try. The day we went the tv had a basketball game on and the noise level was decent. The larger dining area seemed to be out of commission so we sat by the entrance. The service was quick and simple. You order your food at the counter and have a seat. The food came out to us at our table. Maybe because we sat so close to the counter. The chow mein was delicious but my favorite was the orange chicken. It had a think crispy batter but the chicken was tender and delicious. Definitely would go back. The seating area was limited to about three small tables since the larger eating area was closed so eating in wasn't as comfortable since it is a small area. read more

Phu Chen Kitchen - Orange chicken - Dim Sum Near Me - Fontana, California

Looks can be deceiving. We drove all the way from riverside to check this place out and yup, it did not disappoint. Amazingly delicious authentic Chinese food that's not overpriced. We ordered the pork XLB, chicken fried rice, BBQ pork bun, green beans, shumai, and salt and pepper wings. Damn their food was sooooo good. I've never had shumai that big before (that's what she said). Seriously they were huge with a giant shrimp on top. We got there exactly at noon so we were the first ones there, we had a whole table to ourselves and that was awesome. Our server was attentive and very helpful, which my mom appreciated. Anyway, next time you want to try authentic dim sum in the IE, do not hesitate to give this place a try. I'm glad this is my first post of the new year read more
