Reviews
Portions are generous for the price—definitely great value. I also appreciated how clean and organized the restaurant was, even during the lunch rush. If you’re looking for quick, tasty Chinese food that doesn’t taste like it came from a microwave, Chen’s Garden is a solid choice. I’ll definitely be back!
So I hadn’t had Chen’s since 2011 when I’d had it at work. I had a co-worker treat us to her Chinese place. I’d wanted to give it a go, 15 years later. It’s still there. They must be doing something right. They didn’t have coconut chicken. Not a lot of Chinese places have coconut chicken. I’d just gotten the sweet and sour chicken and some rangoons. The fried rice was a bit dark, but actually not bad tasting. The food was pretty decent.
The texture was soggy and seemed undercooked. I could not even consume. I hurt my teeth trying to bite into it.
It was definitely less than the standard I was used to.
My meat and veggie dishes were not impressive. Undercooked meat it seems again.
I will definitely not be back.
The menu is packed with all the familiar favorites you’d hope for. On our last order, the General Tso’s chicken was a standout—perfectly crispy even after the drive home, and coated in a sauce that had just the right balance of sweet and spicy. The fried rice is always fluffy and well-seasoned, and they don’t skimp on the fresh vegetables, which is a huge plus. Portions are generous for the price, making it a great value for a family dinner or for having leftovers the next day.
The only reason it’s not a perfect five stars is a minor inconsistency with some of the appetizers. While the main dishes are almost always on point, we’ve found that items like the crab rangoon can sometimes lack that fresh-made magic, tasting more like they came from a frozen box. It’s a small critique for an otherwise excellent kitchen.
Still, when you want dependable and delicious American-Chinese classics served up fast by a friendly crew, Chen’s Kitchen is one of the best choices in Norfolk. We’ll definitely be calling them for our next takeout night.
Update: second day in a row eating here. It’s still as good.
