They’ve been getting worse & worse since last year, now they totally suck!!!
Nothing like serving old food, the teriyaki burnt, old taste to it, check out those nice golden chicken fingers, never seen anything so skinny in my life!!, not much meat to it at all, again tasted old, Idk how they stay in business!!, needless to say even tho I live right around the corner I’ll never go there again!!

The waitstaff is great ~ especially Sherri! The food is average but the live music they have is amazing. You can purchase tickets to attend concerts in a special room and this weekend I flew up from TN just to see Anthony Gomes! The shows were great and it’s definitely an intimate setting. I’ve been going to Chans for almost 20years to see Anthony play. The room holds a certain amount and when that show is sold out it can become very crowded so you will make friends with your neighbors.

Not bad, but probably won’t go back. I was hoping the “brown chow mein” would be the same kind that is in the Southcoast area, unfortunately it wasn’t.

I enjoy the live music there. The food is not bad, but have to bring my own sweet-and-sour because They’re sweet and sour is very watery. Went this past Saturday night to see Jimmy two suits. It was just awful. The only member of the band I really enjoyed was the trumpet player. Jimmy himself just talked and talked and could barely play the saxophone. I was very disappointed and we left early. We’ve seen some great live bands there, but not this one.

It has been a very long time since I have been to Chans. Plenty of street parking and a giant free lot just for Chans directly across the street. I am pretty sure that this restaurant is older than me. I parked across the street. After getting out of the Mystery Machine it is impossible not to notice the very beautiful, well kept Asian facade on the building. You immediately get those old school vibes. Before you even enter they proudly have signage on the door that they take pride in hand making their Egg Rolls. The excitement begins. Walking in you see some spectacular Asian decor. Some of the art made with different materials takes up whole walls. It was like stepping back in time. They also had pictures up of famous people that have performed or visited, kinda like a Rhode Island Kowloon in a way.

I had good intentions on only getting a few things, I’m doing pretty well losing weight. However a good Chinese menu to me is probably like 50 Shades of Gray to a desperate housewife. Side note, if anyone wants to tie me up and have their way with me feeding me Chinese food we can make a Netflix special. 50 Shades of Pork Fried Rice.. The woman working were very friendly.

I ordered enough food that I started hearing Stevie Wonder and friends sing, We are the World. We are the world, we are the children, we are the ones that lobster sauce makes a brighter day so let’s start eating.. And it’s true you make a brighter day when Chinese food comes home with me.

The Farmaid people were like dude, can you like order some vegetables. Not tonight my Midwestern friends. I’ll eat some of your animals though, not the one from the Muppets, he’s too cool. Most people don’t know that I belong to PETA (People Eat Tasty Animals).

While waiting for my food I sat at the bar. I had a cup of steam, cold, in it’s liquid and solid state. The bartender was polishing the brass around the bar. The locals were extremely friendly. I really enjoyed my time, and I overly tipped my bartender for a free glass of water. You could tell she was a hard worker and made sure that I felt welcome. Other patrons and myself reminisced about when we use to be skinny. I was telling them about my morning shakes and nightly salads when a fork truck brought out my to go order. I told them it was for the needy. I needy my Chinese food.

The Hot and Sour Soup was thick, had a nice flavor, a touch of tangy sweetness and was overall pretty solid.

***Egg Rolls*** These lived up to the sign on the front door. A nice strong celery flavor mixed with pork and some spices. These were legit!

**Chicken Wings** These were perfectly marinated. The kind we grew up on. Absolutely delicious!

*Beef Teriyaki* These had a delicious flavor, marinated throughout. I could taste some notes of ginger, no Gilligan. They could have been more tender, but the flavors helped me overlook that.

Spareribs on the Bone Side note, my nickname in high school was “The Bone.” Some say it’s because I looked like the dude on Growing Pains. Others said it was because of that time in coed gym class I forgot to wear underwear with sweatpants. Either way, I owned it. The ribs were what we were use to growing up. They were meaty, not dry and had a pretty good flavor. They weren’t the star of the show, but they weren’t bad either. Some ribs I put on a pedestal, usually when my coffee table is dirty.. These I would consider middle of the road. I would also consider getting them again, but I wouldn’t go out of my way like I do for some of my favorite ribs.

**Lobster Sauce** My picture doesn’t do this justice. Some of the best flavored, very thick and full of pork, old school Lobster Sauce that I have had in a while. The flavors were strong without being salty or sweet. Brought me back to my childhood, and I didn’t have to microdose. Nice job Chef!! You can order small or large. With or without shrimp. I really enjoyed this and if it’s cool with the gents that run Prestige Worldwide, we will be serving this at the freaking Catalina Wine Mixer!

Overall, a great experience!

Update (8:02pm); I just got home with the order finally, almost 40 minutes now since I ordered originally. Opened food up, one order section is still wrong, and the rangoons are stone cold.

(7:52pm)I get that it’s Christmas. So i picked up at order window like asked. When she told me my total was $39 I was surprised and thought maybe I got a special I didn’t know about. Get all the way home and found I paid for and received the complete wrong order. Ended up getting told I needed to pay the extra $55 of my order, which I mean I understand I ordered food, but wasn’t offered anything other than a “i’m sorry”. The girl who helped me at the counter was sweet and apologetic. What really turned me off was the reaction of the older server. The young woman helping me asked, “is there anything we can do for her?”, the womans reaction was an eye roll and a silent walk away from the counter. Like even an acknowledgement of like “i’m sorry, we can’t” would have been appreciated. I’ve never had a problem with Chan’s or their food before, but this was a very large mistake.

The band called the peach eaters were so good actually unbelievable! There was about 100 plus people in there and only 3 waitresses and they knew that they were all coming in around the same time to see the band. You could see the tremendous pressure that they were under and it was taking a toll on these ladies who were doing the best they could and they were falling behind because of the long wait for all the orders that went in around the same time and the only bartender was struggling to keep up. I saw the tears in the waitresses eyes. I heard that a few tables left no tips. This was an epic failure in the scheduling and it could have been easy avoided. I blame Chan for being cheap on getting a few more people on for a 3 hour shift and the waitresses would have gotten better tips instead of getting nothing. Chan should reimburse the 20% for the tips they deserved. Otherwise great music, barely warm food and getting our drinks took forever. But it was so obvious that this was going to happen. It’s not rocket science but a cheap owner was to blame

First time eating at Chan’s.
Portions were massive, appetizers, egg food young and chow mein so…..good.
Our server Robin was AMAZING even though she was responsible for many tables. They also have live entertainment at a reasonable price!
After reading Chans other reviews I am not sure why there is negativity.

We will definatley be back!

I was the first one in the door at 3:00 p.m.
I ordered a number 29 rice, lobster sauce and boneless rib. The food took a long time but that was okay I knew they had just opened and I was the only one in the restaurant. I thought for sure this was a good thing and the food was gonna be hot and the rice was going to be fresh.
Let’s just say that wasn’t the case.
This was last nights leftover rice reinvented and doctored with an awful dark brown oily texture and very little pork if any.
The ribs were covered in a honey goo and the lobster sauce looked and tasted like it came out of a can.
The waitress was nice so I didn’t want to hurt her feelings.
I took a couple bites and asked for the check.
She knew I wasn’t pleased.
I couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there. This was Sept 17, 2025 at 3:00 p.m.

When I first ordered I was told it would be $2.00 off any number special today on that list.
There was no $2.00 savings I paid full price plus tip and ran for the hills.

Love the food, friendly staff and live music here! It’s always a fun time. We over order to ensure we have leftovers. The wonton soup is the best and incorporates large slices of pork.
