I am 35 years old and have been eating Chinese takeout maybe once a week for my entire life, mom and dad didn’t know how to cook. I grew up for 20 years on Long Island where we had some EXCELLENT Chinese food restaurants. After moving to NC I’ve tried many places, but Chen Garden goes above and beyond. Let me make it very clear why.
I have always loved Sweet & Sour chicken, but had come to expect poor quality meat with such a cheap dish. Look at the photo I have attached. If you enjoy chicken like I do, you can see that this is a quality cut of white meat chicken, and not that mashed up goop of blended together bits that so many other restaurants deep fry and tell you it’s chicken. This is clearly a solid cut of chicken.
Not only is it very high quality chicken, the staff is extremely polite and helpful. I forgot my wallet the last time I was there and they helped me figure out how to use my phone as my debit card because I didn’t remember how to use it. And they have the most adorable little baby!! If you’re lucky you’ll get to meet the baby!
Keep it up Chen Garden!

The food was delicious and they gave you a LOT so definitely come hungry! The owner/lady working there was super nice and helpful. The atmosphere was nice you can tell that it was a family ran restaurant so it felt like eating at home ! Recommend for sure.

Food was horrible, ordered chicken wings and house friend rice. You only get three jumbo wings which was so tough that it wasn’t enjoyable. The rice had no flavor even after adding two packs of soy sauce. I have never have bad chicken wings and rice. The presentation of the food didn’t even look good. I had already paid for it and discovered what was stapled in a styrofoam plate when I arrived home. Paid close to $14 for this disappointment. Go somewhere else for quality food for the price they charge you.

My coworker and I ordered take out. My regular place is closed on Sundays so I picked this restaurant.
Her chicken fried rice was bland.
My Szechuan Chicken didn’t have a lot of taste. 95% of the chicken appears to be fatty pieces that they trimmed from dark meat. I got maybe 1 or 2 actually pieces of chicken and the rest were fatty.
The steamed dumplings were good.

Great food and customer service!! Today we had Sweet and Sour Chicken and Singapore Mei fun. The dine-in section is small but adequate and clean. My apologies, photos were taken after we ate but the portions are plentiful and filling.

Take out. Ribs 6 out of 10 (slightly burned), hot and sour soup 8 out of 10 ( nice flavour with plenty of silken tofu), pork with mushrooms 8 out of 10 (good amount of mushrooms). Service was very friendly. As far as Chinese take out in this area goes, it’s ok.

Our absolute favorite Chinese restaurant. I’m gluten free and they always make sure my food is safe. The family that owns the restaurant is so sweet and friendly. It’s always a pleasure to pick up dinner here.

We likely went on an off night as they were slammed. However, we waited patiently for our food hoping it would be of quality.
We called in around 5:45 and was told the order would be ready for pickup in 30-40 minutes. At around 6:15 my boyfriend went to the restaurant to pick up the order. He said the line was out the door. We ended up waiting an hour for our food to be done.
We finally get back to eat our food and I discover my dish is nothing but breading. We paid extra for all white meat, we didn’t ask for extra breading. Over half of my dish was nothing but fried batter.
My boyfriend said his dish was very bland, as his chicken was under seasoned and tough. The fried rice was deplorable. It was the equivalent to eating yellow rice straight from a box. No flavor.
100% do not recommend.
