I have been eating at Chens for about 25 years. I love that the buffet is a smaller buffet and that there is always someone cleaning and filling the food. The price is very fair and the waitresses are attentive and friendly. However, sometimes the food on the buffet can be Luke warm and I definitely don’t like that. I also don’t like how someone will come from the back and get food off of the buffet to fill, what I am assuming are drive thru orders.. There are only roughly 3 Chinese buffets in Lufkin with Chen’s being the best in my opinion. The restaurant is clean and has a laid back atmosphere.

It seems to kinda be a fast food buffet. Some of the food was cold and definitely been sitting too long. The rangoons were terrible. The service was good though. They paid attention to empty drinks. Etc.
No real dessert available either. Rather disappointing, imo

I ordered 3 plates, shrimp fried rice, chicken fried rice and combination fried rice. Let’s just start with the portions that they give, plate loaded with fried rice and a few pieces of meat. The combination fried rice had 2 pieces of beef 4 pieces of beef and 2 shrimp…. This is not an estimate, this is the actual amount I counted. This isn’t the first time this has happen to my family. We’ve been there a few times and we continue to try to give them a chance. The food was also a bit cold like it had been cooked already and just sitting out waiting to be plaited. Maybe it was from their buffet line or something but we will not be giving them another try. They just haven’t done enough to earn our business.

This place has great food for a small buffet. But with that said they take their time to keep it fresh an flavorful. The prices are ok, it’s right in the middle.

Just a very homey, comfortable, local restaurant. Somewhat limited buffet in size, but the food is excellent, especially for a buffet. Service was exceptional.

My family has been eating here for over 20 yrs and I wouldn’t change a thing!! My mom used to take me when I was 9 and now I take my family! This place is a staple of Lufkin tx with some delicious egg rolls, Lol mein, and pork on stick. Yes the buffet is small but it keeps the food fresh and they know what works! The customer service is always friendly plus the free ice cream is a complete win.. try going during lunch or dinner hours to ensure the freshest food and don’t forget your appetite

Not my first experience with Chen’s but certainly will be my last. Had a discussion yesterday with a colleague that defended Chen’s with the caveat that you have to order off the menu and not get the buffet. So, I drove through Chen’s today and ordered beef on a stick (spoiler- should be called BARF on a stick), egg rolls, pot stickers, crab Rangoon, and Happy Family. Surprise, or not surprise, it was the same garbage you get from the buffet. To top it off the tea was sour. Is there some secret handshake or do you literally have to ask for the “good” food at Chen’s? Sod it, I’ll never know because I”m done trying.

Chen’s has a fairly nice size parking lot for a small restaurant but there is usually quite a bit of parking available. The restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside but the food is really good. It’s actually much better than the other Chinese food restaurants in town. The buffet is small but satisfying. I love fried rice and orange chicken. They also have deserts and an ice cream bar. I sometimes even get a to go plate. Their prices are really reasonable and they’re to go plates are priced by weight. All and all, I recommend this restaurant for a good filling buffet.

I ordered a veggie fried rice because I’m vegan just to find but of an unknown meat spread through the entire rice. Looks like skin.. They completely got my order wrong and now I’ve wasted my time, energy and money..
