Chen's Chinese - Mechanicsville

I didn’t want fast food Chinese take out so we decided to try Chens. Nice dine in Chinese restaurant with Fantastic customer service. Started with the piping hot Crab meat and asparagus soup for two and it was so good. Not overly salty, and a generous portion. The Thai mango chicken was a dish we never had before. It was a delicious combination with a unique taste. The house mei fun was one of the best I’ve had. Instantly was hit with wok hei flavoring with my first bite. Beef and chicken was nicely velveted. All the ingredients tasted fresh. Finishing touch at the end of dinner was a plate of orange slices and traditional fortune cookies.

Food was okay, small lunch portions. Generals Tso (not pictured), Beef and Broccoli, calamari (for the calamari, not sure if it's imitation or not).

I avoided this place for the longest time because of the low rating, until I saw it on Doordash and Chen's has amazing reviews on there. Ordered it one night and wow, some of the best Chinese food I've had in the area.

This place is the best Chinese food I'v ever had. Everything is fresh and tasty. Presentation is great. My only go-to Chinese restaurant anymore! Nice atmosphere too. Great service and very nice and friendly. Good prices and dinners have large portions,

My family.of 5 came in for lunch on a Tuesday, not busy at all. Everything was clean and greeted by very pleasant staff. My husband ordered the Variety Sampler for an appetizer, sorry no pic because we tore it up immediately LOL. I order the Chicken Sizzling Platter, so good: brown sauce was very flavorful, chicken was super tender and lots of veggies. Egg drop soups and Wonton soups were very good. My husband ordered the Birds nest and was very happy with the flavor, great presentation. My mom had the General TSO which the outer breading had a crispy texture which we loved, and my Dad had the Kung Poa Chicken, also very happy. My kid did the boring typical kid thing and got chicken nuggets and fries, no flares..pretty average. Service was wonderful and bathrooms were also very clean. We are coming back!! Also topped the meal off with donuts!
