Chen Express is a welcoming restaurant with large portions of food, though it may be a bit pricey. The staff, especially Sarah, provide great service, and the house lo mein remains a favorite among customers. The restaurant now offers Midwest Style “Springfield Cashew Chicken,” which many find to be a true specialty that others in the area have not understood or been able to prepare properly. The crab Rangoon is delicious, and the service is consistently top notch. Customers often enjoy their hot and sour soup with house fried rice, noting that the food is very tasty, fresh, and cooked to order. The restaurant is always clean, and the friendly service makes the overall experience enjoyable. Although some feel the prices are high, the generous portions mean sharing is necessary, and the location makes it worth it for many. Despite some opinions that the food may lack flavor compared to other places, many customers keep returning, especially for the unique dishes and friendly atmosphere.
