Chen's Restaurant

Nice place not so fancy but very nice and clean! The staff are very friendly , the moment you walk into the restaurant you can smell the food cooking and that is always a good sign that the food is fresh, and most times authentic! The portions are huge and definitely authentic Chinese food ! I ordered the boiled beef with chili sauce , and it was delicious spicy enough to enjoy it with plenty of veggies! The soup just gets a bit greasy at the end, and the beef is just poor quality beef! But I will definitely come back and try something else!

September 2024 This is one of our favorites Szechuan restaurants. Our go to dish is Kung Pao Chicken. However, we didn’t order today. The lamb and fish soup is also one of favorites dishes. Their dry pot is also very popular and delicious. We often request light spice and they are able to meet our needs. Sometime, the spiciness overpower the taste and fragrant. I recommend highly this location. The head chef is off Monday. So Monday maybe a little off. My rating as 5 is very satisfy. Taste 5/5 Temperature 5/5 Cleanliness 4/5 we come here for good food. Attentive and courteous 4/5. Will I revisit ? Yes. We visit here at least once a month. Will I recommend? Highly recommend. December 2024 Came here 12/31. Enjoyed new dishes and truly delighted with our choices. February 2025 In search of best Kung Pao Chicken! This is one of them in Plano, TX!

Horrible !!!! I come to this restaurant a lot, normally the food and services are exceptional; unfortunately, today not sure what's gotten into them. First, my server served me my glass of ice water with an orange/reddish looking flake in the water. I didn't mind it at first, I just grabbed my water and walked toward the reception area trying to get a new glass of water. Instead of changing the water for me, they got very offended and trying to explain it's just lemon seeds. Three servers, only one actually looked at my glass but the other two didn't, yet all three of them were trying to persuade me it's just lemon seeds. I know what I saw, it's probably chili pepper flake which is understandable as this is a Sichuan restaurant. But the fact that they treat me like I was lying ruined my mood. We also ordered Dongpo pork, when it arrived at the table we were all stunned, normally this would consist of half fatty and half skinny meat, but this dish is I would say 80% fat (look at the picture I attached) when we raised our concern, our server again trying to convince us this is normal, we've been here multiple times, this is not normal ..... she refused to switch dish or do anything about it. We are all very disappointed, we are here celebrating my mom's birthday, we all walked out with frustration and disappointments. Very sad as this restaurant used to be my favorite, will not be returning....

Food is great! Very authentic sichuan food and portion is good for the price. We loved everything we ordered, and the little one enjoyed the veggies, fish, and noodles. They also have a section for hotpot where you can order broth and hotpot dishes, there is a great selection of food options. However, one thing they can improve is service. The few times we were there, we felt the staff were either in a bad mood, or did not really care about the service. We had to sit for 10min and asked a couple of servers for water. When asking for spoons for the soup dish we ordered, i think I saw the waiter rolled their eyes before grabbing those for us. I felt very bad eating here as if we were asking too much or bothering them too much. Will be coming back for the food, but wish the staff could be more friendly.

First let me say that I'm a Texan who lived in China for 9 years including Chengdu so I know Sichuan cuisine. I think the chicken gizzards and beef were acceptable unfortunately everything was greasy. And the onion pancakes were cooked to long. The waitress was nice.
