Good food for the price!! I’ve been to many asian restaurants in the states and this is one of the places that are generous when it comes to the food portion!! The mongolian beef is quite good!! The atmosphere might be not as fancy as some might expect but it is the true representative of what a regular asian restaurant is like imo!

I looked up Pho restaurants near me and Swen came up. I was excited to see Pho on the menu. I read through the mixed reviews, but I figured I’d try it for myself. When I walked in, I was pleasantly greeted and sat right away. I ordered pho with meatballs and a spring roll. The waitress brought out the plate of herbs and veggies. She also brought out chili oil and Sriracha, but no hoisin sauce . When my order came out, I noticed I got a regular fried egg roll and not a spring roll . I also noticed the noodles were vermicelli noodles and not pho noodles, plus there are large chunks of onions instead of thinly sliced, but no biggie on that part. The meatballs looked handrolled which I wasn’t expecting, almost reminded me of Italian meatballs you put in a wedding soup; though they were really good. Overall, I didn’t have a bad experience, I just won’t go back for pho, instead I just try the Chinese food options.

It’s an okay-ish place. I’ve only tried their soup and Orange Chicken. The orange chicken was kinda intense on the flavor; wish they’d take it easy on the sauce. In contrast, the fried rice was bland with no flavor. Went during the break so the place was kinda dull.

Awful!! Food quality has declined tremendously. No seasoning, watery, and tasteless. Swen has been my go-to place for many years. I placed an order for two dinner portions of Mongolian Beef with egg rolls and it was bad. The beef was light colored, appearring under cooked. No more crispy rice vermicelli, and not to mention the food was cold. The rice was not fresh either. All for $30. I will not be returning.

I’ve noticed a decline in service and food quality as the years have gone by. Today we were unable to be seated because they didn’t have any servers on staff and the host seemed very annoyed that customers had showed up to be seated and eat at the restaurant. The food has always been decent quality and their mei fun is our favorite in town.

This is a pretty average Chinese restaurant in my opinion. I went here a few days ago to check out the lunch specials, and they are about $8.50 each. The portions are pretty massive considering it was lunch and you even got a side which was nice!
The service was fast, and the lady at the counter was nice (I ordered takeout).
Overall 6 1/2 or 7. The food itself wasn’t something super great but it definitely wasn’t bad.
I’ll probably come back a few more times.

This was the worst chicken lo mein I’ve ever had in my life. Granted, I’m from New York, so maybe I’m snobby about Chinese food, Indian food, Italian food etc since food in ny is delicious, but this was just bad. I ate it till I was full and then threw it out. I was very disappointed.

The restaurant had mold in the ceiling near ventilation. I ordered the combination pho. It was very bland and tasted just like unseasoned broth. Definitely not the place for pho. The meat was just ground meat rolled for meatballs, and the sliced meat was tenderized for Chinese stir fry. The shrimp tasted old and not very fresh. It should actually be taken off the menu.
However, the steamed dumplings were good.

Still one of the best places to get a delicious meal for under $8!!! The broad selection of Chinese cuisine is outstanding! I had Shrimp with Broccoli, Egg Drop Soup, Egg Roll, and Fried Rice. The meals are accompanied by noodle chips and the traditional Fortune Cookie. The food was excellent, and served quickly! I highly recommend!
