Ta Chen Chinese Restaurant

First timer.. and I was amazed by the service and the food quality. Family owned and operated this family puts all their love into their food and you can just taste it 😋!! I order the szechuan beef and I ate every bite.

I finally got to try Ta Chen. I read the reviews beforehand but I was between errands so I only got take out. I got the sweet and sour pork lunch plate and ordered extra egg rolls and egg flower soup. You could tell it wasn't some frozen stuff that they warmed up and threw sauce over. The sauce was more sweet than sour but soy sauce fixes everything 😁. The pork was a little bit overcooked but cooked through so that's okay. The egg rolls were basic veggie and the egg flower soup was piping hot, the way I like it. I can't wait to go back for a proper sit down meal. The restaurant reminds me of the old Chinese food places my parents would take us to in Hawaii wayyyy back when. No frills, no extravagance, just freshly made food eaten on Formica covered tables and upholstered benches. It's a tiny place but the woman that helped me was kind and may've been the owner. A good first time experience and alternative to the stuff they sell in those Chinese fast food places where everything tastes the same and costs too much.

Food is really good here, however , their sodas are over priced. $4.75 for a can of coke! Order to go or just get a water while you are in here. But that's my only complaint.

Looking for that American Style Chinese food you remember when you were growing up? The one with the zodiac placemats and the Po Po Platter? Minus the place mats this is the spot. I celebrated my 48th birthday there today and couldn't be happier. The waitress was so nice. Couldn't have asked for a better early dinner.

A real old-school Chinese restaurant family owned. The owner was very colorful and involved in service. The food was so so I did enjoy the puffed rice soup that was an interesting new experience for me. The actual meals themselves were not very special or anything I’ve actually had better at a cheaper restaurant.
