Chen’s Kitchen

Staying with my brother-in-law and had just flown in from Florida and had a late lunch. So we were looking for a Chinese restaurant in the area. Strictly a takeout restaurant that has a couple of tables in the waiting area. Everything in behind plexiglass. My wife wasn't hungry so she ordered just Egg drop soup and an egg roll. I ordered the King Po Shrimp , slightly spicy with all kinds of vegetables, good. Came with an egg roll and fried rice. I also ordered the WonTon soup which was like water.

These people are so nice. Their food is amazing. I live in oyster bay and I promise you this place is the best around. Since new ownership their food has gotten better. Highly recommend getting sesame chicken.

Not sure of the other reviews. This place was filthy with the previous owners and food was disgusting. I ordered there one time and the ribs looked like they had been sitting in grease for weeks and the chicken was slimy. I threw it out. The new owners cleaned the place up and the food is good. Truth is I have never found an exceptional Chinese Restaurant on Long Island. Since it is the only place in town I can at least get decent food without a long drive.

I get that every Chinese food place makes certain dishes diffently. Somehow, this place screwed up wonton soup? I'll eat anything but I could finish this soup, it was murky and had an odd taste to it. The boneless spare ribs were like dried out jerkey and didn't have much flavor to it. The staff was very nice, though.

Chen's has become our go to Chinese take out for the last few years and for good reason. The hard working owners are always friendly and the quality and portions are always the best. Try the curry chicken, chow fun or the hot and sour soup. All are terrific!
