Chen's Garden

food is alright a solid 3.5/5 and workers were okay as well not really inviting but i dunno what to expect tbh. overall a mediocre place with some decent chinese takeout, better than the place in the villas but behind the place in rio grande, and i did receive the wrong order lol but the food was good

I ordered the food in the morning it was spoiled. Tasted like days old food. The rice was disgusting the inside of the chicken was brown and it tasted weird. I called ahead to tell them that the food tasted like it went bad. They told me to bring it in, I did. When I went the man immediately dismissed me and my sister. Saying idk what you’re smoking get outta here get outta here. It’s always you people. He said this is the first time anyone has ever complained. Then I come to google and the there are several other bad reviews about the same general tso chicken. Why tell me to bring the food in for a refund then disrespect us. The Manager(man) is absolutely rude! I was not given a refund. Never shopping here again.

Today I ordered the lo mein pork it was good but the package was only about 2/3 full but good and lots of beef. But decided the $12.95 Crab Rangoon…. well I have had it from a lot of Chinese Places near and far,most were good but not this time. Very hard and the filling was very sweet very…. And NO crab at all. Not even a hint of crab. And for over 1$ each. Not the Best Buy in the place… over all it was a 5 out of 10. No more from there. Thanks

I ordered 2 spring rolls and 1 egg told, asking specifically if the spring rolls were vegetarian since I have a shellfish allergy and my daughter and I are vegetarian. They assured me that they were. When my daughter and I took a bite of one of the spring rolls it had a funny taste like fish. I called immediately and they assured me they were vegetables only and had no shellfish. We just figured the first one tasted different than what we are used to, thinking it was just the sauce. A few minutes later I began to feel tingling in my mouth. I cut open the 2nd one to not only find large slivers of pork but also 2 shrimp. I called them immediately and they again assured me they had no shrimp. Their response was not a full refund but we will put a note on your account that you are allergic.

Usually, for an unknown Chinese restaurant, I really can't go too wrong with a Special Combo platter...or lunch special. Yet, it was close to dinner so Special combo it was. I choose Roast pork Lo main and white rice. Taking fried rice can be quite a let downer since it takes me more than 2 hours after I pick it up my food to eat it. Fried rice tend to have a dried up texture with soy sauce than regular white rice which usually gives me buyer remorse. Therefore, I chose white rice simce you can soak it with water and then place a napkin to give it back moisture and steam. Well, the roast pork Lo main platter was very flavorful and not doused with soy. Next time platter- BBQ SPARERIBS (LEAP OF FAITH)
