The waitress at this restaurant kept chatting with other customers and completely ignored my order. Poor service quality ? She didn't understand what I said when ordering. I will definitely not go to this
I couldn't fully enjoy my lunch.

Just picking up some egg drop soup.
And they have spring rolls on special.

This review is long overdue. My mother would eat here 30+ years ago when she was pregnant with me, and the owner Judy used to listen to my moms belly and tell my mom that I was a boy.
I have some of the absolute best memories here at Chen's.
I tell everyone about Chen's that I possibly can. I lived in Colorado for a few years and then Texas, and no Chinese restaurant I tried in either state ever even sort of compared to Chen's Chinese food. My favorite dish is the #72 Mongolian Fried Rice.
I recently moved back to New Mexico and finally got to go into Chen's after so long to sit and eat. It was fantastic as always, thank you guys so much!

I was greeting with great customer service. The hostess was very kind and sweet when I called to place my order. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and egg roll lunch special. Pretty good for my first time.

Horrible food. I can only guess a lot of the 5 star reviews here are fake. Unless these customers have no idea of what quality food tastes like. I was told that many years ago this restaurant was doing well. But like many restaurants, a lot of them fall by the wayside due to management either losing their way or just not caring at all anymore. The food was so disgusting most of our pick up order went straight into the trash. We feel that we were taken advantage of for what we had to pay for this food that should not have even been served, needless to say we will not be returning.
1. Sesame “chicken” - was it really chicken? The small, dry, shriveled, overcooked, poor excuse for so-called chicken, looked more like either pieces of beef jerky or cat feces. it was caked and sauce so much so that that was pretty much the whole meal. A good Sesame chicken will be fresh and tasty, with quality white meat. Not at Chen’s. It is obvious this dish has been cooked stored, re-cooked stored again, reheated and reserved numerous times. It should’ve gone in the trash along time ago. It was absolute garbage.
2. Eggrolls - burnt on outside, mushy in the middle, bland, oily. Another food item that has clearly been reheated, stored and reheated again numerous times to the point that it is no longer digestible.
3. Won Ton Soup - smelled like rotten meat. We have a small dog that usually will eat anything, however, he would not go near the soup that we ourselves were not even going to dare to try due to how bad it smelled. The soup had pork in it and was completely rancid. the dough around the wonton meat was so mushy and gooey which again points to this meal having been around for a long time meaning that it was cooked weeks ago and just kept cold until it was time to reheat it and send to us. Absolutely disgusting and very insulting.
4. Pork fried rice - I’ve lived in many states in the US, and I’ve been to many Chinese restaurants in my life, not one of them has ever failed to deliver a decent fried rice dish until my experience with Chen’s. Dry, mushy, flavorless, and, you guessed it, was probably cooked weeks ago stored, reheated and reserved. God knows what the kitchen practices are for this place and I would think a health inspector should probably go take a look around because there’s no way that these products are being stored properly for them to look and taste so poorly. This particular meal made my husband very sick. He only had about 1/4 of it, and we threw the rest in the garbage.
Every restaurant has an opportunity to do the right thing and take the responsibility and measures to create fresh, tasty, affordable food for their patrons. Unfortunately, there are many restaurants out there that have lost their way and are no longer interested in what would be best for the customer and instead are just merely going through the motions and serving trash but charging for value. This has been my experience with Chen’s.

Food was absolutely delicious. I had the sesame chicken with rice and egg drop soup. Hands down the BEST sesame chicken I've ever had in my entire life. Our waitress was funny, sweet and very attentive. Great little place to eat.

Stopped by for a quick late lunch, food was OK. Not the greatest but good enough. Staff was good for me but the Waitress had issues communicating with another guest and it created a tense atmosphere, the guest was being rude though ( expect the world type of guest).

Five stars across the board. I ordered pickup, but when I walked in, the look of the restaurant was so nostalgic. I’ve been to so many Asian restaurants, and I’m Asian myself, and Chen’s reminded me so much of my favorite Chinese place before it shut down.

I was a little early to pick up my order, but they had it out so quickly. The ladies were so kind and made sure we had speedy service. The online order site (Square) was super easy to use.

The food was piping hot and fresh, surviving the 15 minute drive home (and STILL steaming when I opened the box). I ordered the pan fried noodles, and when I say the portions were huge, I mean they were HUGE. I normally eat a lot, and I could only get through half the plate. It was delicious, and the beef and vegetables were so tender. My boyfriend got the sweet and sour chicken combo, and it was amazing. I normally don’t like sweet and sour chicken, but I had to stop myself from eating off his plate too. The flavors were perfectly balanced with each dish.
