Combination chicken, beef & shrimp noodles spicy ? fast action service for lunch break. Also my food order was accurate with my personal request and adjustments my food was awesome tasting this was my 1st visit here. It mostly definitely isn't my last time ?.
We visited family in DC for 10 days and on day 3 we ordered a huge vegetarian meal from Chen's. In the following days, our meat-eating parents were requesting another order so we had another huge feast. What a delight and a treat this place is - some of the best fake meat I've ever had (and being veg for 30 years, that is saying a lot).It's fresh, it's vibrant, it's scrumptious. I can't say enough good things about the food here, you feel like royalty eating a plate of this food.After both meals we took a pen to the menu to put a heart next to the items we loved most and, well, everything we ordered got a heart both times. Phenomenal. Go ahead and get a double order of the Vegetarian Crispy Beef, it was everyone's favourite.I can't believe I didn't snap a photo, too excited to dig in I guess. Best food of our holiday. Thanks, Chen's! Keep up the great work.
By far my favorite Chinese restaurant on the east coast. I especially like the General Tso as well as their crispy beef. The veggies taste fresh and are not overcooked. They use a little bit of sesame oil in their rice which gives it that little bit of extra flavor.Every time I come to the DC area I make a point to stop by here. Absolutely delicious.
I called at 11:30am got there at 12:30pm and my order wasn’t ready. The owner said he wasn’t take phone orders until i got their.
Stumbled upon Chen’s Gourmet randomly a few months ago and glad we did. It’s become our go-to for Chinese in the area.
The food was ok, the problem is the time it takes to make the food, my order took hour and a half to have it made, I was there for lunch time, even though I called 35 minutes before noon (lunchtime) by the time I received the food my lunchtime was already over, the one thing I notice it is a one man does it all, he does not have help, he cooks, he answer the phone, he package the food, he charges, he takes orders, all at the same time and people line up and he does not takes some orders due to the time, and while he is cooking, so if you are in a hurry I do not recomend this place unless you want to wait a long time, this happens at lunchtime, I have no idea how it is the rest of the day
Found this place on a road trip from Florida to New York... Now just trying to figure out how I can place an order from Florida ???
I don’t understand the hype…it’s average at best and overpriced as hell for what it is. Got the shrimp and veggie lo mein and both didn’t have much flavor. Meh! Not getting again.
Excellent vegan options. The mock chicken is exceptional. The veggie dumplings are a favorite. The best Chinese we’ve had in the city.
Vegan excellence, ten stars
