I got here to pick up a door dash pick up that was placed an hour before i even get to them and they when i got there they didn’t even had the order on the system and they made me wait another 30 minutes to make the food Before you place an order here think about the longest wait you will ever have in a restaurant. Not recommended at all

Everything is super delicious and very friendly.

Foods were good but it took 45 minutes for the foods to come out from the kitchen in a not so busy night. The table behind, which ordered right before me, already almost finished their dishes. Asked the waitress a couple times but she doesn't seems to care and didn't apologize either for the delay.

The duck here is wonderful, the best outside of China arguably. The rest of the dishes are all really authentic, and the vibe of the restaurant is excellent. The waiters are really friendly, and if you’re looking for Chinese food, this has got to be the spot.

Food was very savory! If you like flavor, I'd recommend this place. And if you like spicy you will certainly like it! It is a different type of food, so just be a little prepared. Foodies! Yes, this might just be one of your go-to's. Service could have been faster, but maybe that's part of the vibe here.

I should have stuck with my first instinct. I stopped ordering from this restaurant when they were still Gourmet Garden. However, I figured the name changed, perhaps the taste and quality of the food did too. I am highly disappointed with the Shrimp Fried Rice. I requested brown rice and received white rice with soy sauce that made it look brown. Regrettably, it was extremely bland and tasted like plain white rice and fishy tasting shrimp. Furthermore, the Eggplant Dumplings were a disappointment. They had little or no flavor, they didn't even taste like Eggplant, just a slightly sweet sauce and mushy tasteless flour coating. Thanks, but No Thanks! I will not be ordering anything from Hot Pot Chen, again.

The food is very good and reasonably priced. The decor is quaint.
Significantly better than Chinese buffet restaurants.

Very poor service attitude! A waiter said we could come in, so we sat down. There was a strong smell of bleach on the table. After a while, a waiter said that it was not our turn yet, and the communication was fruitless. He told us that we could sit down, but there would be no service. The attitude is extremely arrogant and rude. There is not only one Chinese restaurant in Ann Arbor, but this one has the worst service attitude. Poor service attitude!

Surprised at how tasty the Moo Shu, cold sesame noodles and hot and sour soups was—just excellent. Fast take out service! They were a little too excited to get an extra $2 for extra wrappers which seemed over the top on a huge take out order… but whatever. I will get take out again for sure! Oh, and lots of Chinese people were enjoying dinner as groups of students and family groups, so that always says a lot toward authentic cuisine!
I really enjoy the food at Hot Pot Chen. My two favorite dishes: the pepper steak & chicken & ?. Oh yeah, also the spring rolls. Thank you for the great eats.

I have been going here for years but the last year, the portion and protein ratio is minimal at best. It's all carrots and the portion size is sad.

Placed a delivery order. Cashew chicken, won ton soup, egg roll, scallion pancake. There was no brown sauce on my cashew chicken. No mixed vegetables. A ton of half cooked celery. The chicken was fresh and flavorful and the cashews were crunchy. Scallion pancake was greasy, heavy and tasteless. My bf had the soup and said it was good. No soy sauce on the bag, it was needed to stop the chicken from drying out more when the rice was added. My bf eats there often and has no complaints. I won't be ordering again.
