Chen's Garden

Great price for quality food and very generous portions. Came here for a quick lunch (it's take-out only) and it was ready in 15 mins. I checked out the bookstore across the street and went back with it being ready in no time. Awesome place. Gotta recommend the sesame chicken - my fave!

Very good typical food. Hot and sour soup was excellent. Very large walk in takeout order took 35 minutes during peak hours. Many others remembered to order ahead and had their orders waiting for them. Literally a mom and pop operation. Cash only works for us.

I used to love this restaurant! Today was the first time we ordered in a long time. The food was terrible and no one ate it. Never had issues before today. The restaurant even smelled really bad inside. So I called. I told her I could bring it back, but she refused to refund and came up with all excuses why it might not have tasted good like “we waited too long to eat it”. I don’t know, but I guess we won’t be going back there.

Some of the worst Chinese food we have ever had. When we got home my Mother - in -Law throw the food out. Paid $30.00 for her food.

This is one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to. There is no web presence that provides necessary information. So the fact that they are cash only isn't info that is available until after you have ordered and you walked in the door. Our order was placed via phone, and the woman was barely able to understand what we wanted. We were told it would be ready in 35 minutes. I walked in the door 30 minutes later, waited at the counter for 10 minutes before I was even acknowledged, then told they couldn't find my order. Back to the truck to get my phone, call the person that called in the order, then back inside to provide the info. 10 more minutes waiting at the counter. She then told me that my order would be ready in 10-15 minutes and asks for the money. I tell her that I will pay when I get the food. At this point its been about 50 minutes since the order was placed, so their estimate of 35 minutes was way off. I sit down and wait, I talk to a couple of others that had been there longer than me, one guy had been waiting 45 minutes already. An additional 30 minutes goes by. She puts a bag of food on the counter and says my order is ready. I go and pay, text the family that I finally got food, but then she gives the bag to some one else. It wasn't my order, my food still isn't done. It's ready she says, as I watch them take the food off the flame and start to dish it out. I can see that it's not ready, 5 more minutes before I get handed my food. Order called in at 6 PM. I had food in my hands at 7:35 AND IT WAS AWEFUL. The service was bad, the food was bad, and they are still in the 1980's and not taking debit. Why would I ever go back. It zero stars an option?
