I was told that delivery would be delivered at 8 o'clock every day, but it turned out that I had to wait for a long time?The service is really bad, I almost fainted from hunger?

I ordered 30 day meal package and requested to be delivered every other day. On 42nd day which was the 21st meal, I found deoxidizer packet in my porridge and called Chen Mommy. She offered to replace that one meal and give me two extra meals for free. I did not accept that and went on cancelling the remaining meals. She refunded me less than 1/3 of the money I paid her for 30 day package. Given this incident, I honestly don't know if she provided me with guaranteed quality for the 20 meals I ate already.

Went for a tasting earlier today and signed up on the spot. The chicken soup 雞湯 and sesame oil chicken soup 烏骨麻油雞湯 were delicious. The sweet & sour pork, spinach w goji berries, white fungus 白木耳 dessert, & mixed grain rice were delicious as well. Reminds me so much of home! You can tell they know what they are doing! Food tastes great and you can tell they put a lot of love & effort into making the food-- definitely does not feel or taste like they cut corners to make a higher profit.Jane, the owner is so lovely, accommodating and passionate about what she does. So looking forward to the meals I will be getting!

My hubby and I are preparing for Baby #2 and we really didn't wanna be bothered with taking care of 2 kids under 2 years old and making meals for ourselves. Therefore we decided to just sign up for Chen Mommy's kitchen postpartum meal plans.I didn't wanna order from themoriginally cause it is very pricey, but it's definitely worth the convenience. Jane, the Owner, is very flexible and is not pushy at all when picking out a package plan. I signed up for the 3 weeks meal plan but she said if I wanted to sign up for the 4 weeks plan, I can let her know a week in advance and I'll only have to pay for the difference between the 2 packages. She also said if it's too much food, I can get the food delivered every other day instead of every day. I'm not a fan of internal organs so she said I can switch it out for something else. Jane caters to your needs whether you want organic options or need a special diabetic option. We went for a sample testing, and to my surprise, it was quite tasty yet still healthy. Several friends have used their services before and said they had good experience with them. Jane just ask you to call them 8 weeks in advance due to high demands. I was shy of 7 weeks but she was able to accommodate. Also a plus, our extremely picky daughter enjoyed the sample tasting too (the sample tasting did not have any herbs in it so she was able to taste it).

So glad that my friend referred Chen Mommy to me. They are very helpful and very patient to answer all the questions I had. And they were willing to work out the time schedule with for my convenience. I don't know how to thank for their helps. The food is great, healthy, organic and most importantly very tasty. I'm highly recommend Chen Mommy for postpartum meals/need to recover by surgery etc. They are very awesome. There will be one less thing need to worry for sure, cuz you will be in a good hand. They are very reliable. Just need to worry about one thing, don't blame them if you get fat!!! Hahaha...

Amazing service for postpartum women - you can do a sample tasting and tell her to exclude certain foods if you don't like them. I'm allergic to lactose milk and shellfish and never had a problem, all of her desserts are lactose free. The food is a lot for one person to eat so I got to share it with the family and I was also able to stretch delivery out to every other day. She delivers to New Jersey.

I found Chen mommy through Yelp and used them for my postpartum meals. I went for a tasting and really enjoyed their food. Usually have to book at least a month prior to estimated due date. Jane was able to accommodate me last minute which was awesome. It really helped postpartum as I did not have to worry about food. The meals were delivered daily except for Sunday. On Saturdays I received two orders, one for that day and another for Sunday. Since I lived fairly close to the kitchen, I usually received my meals early in the morning. They offered free delivery to queens, Manhattan, and Long Island. I believe there is a delivery fee for New Jersey and Brooklyn. The delivery men spoke mandarían and would usually ring the door bell or call upon arrival. Each day I received about 15 containers of food. The breakfast was some type of pork, lots of liver in the beginning, congee, and egg. The were always two large containers of soups. The first week I also had shenghua soup. The lunches and dinners included rice, vegetable, meat, and dessert. These varied from day to day while the breakfast stayed the same. The food itself tasted very homey and did not have sugar or salt. I enjoyed the variety and it was definitely enough for two. I ordered the 14 day meal plan but they do offer 21 and 28 days. For the first week I asked for delivery everyday then every other day. I would definitely recommend this as cooking was one less thing I needed to worry about and the food tasted good!

Can't thank Jane enough for all the help and care she provided! She really takes the time to hear your questions and concerns and personalizes the best combinations to fit your individual needs. Everything was seamless, from the easy communication, to the carefully packaged and prompt delivery, and most importantly the healthy and super delicious meals! There is a great selection of breakfast, lunch, dinner, side beverage and even dessert! They are all labeled clearly so you can easily grab your meal of choice to heat up. Every dish tasted clean and flavorful, and they reminded me of a comforting home cooked meal. The portions are also very generous that I can even share with my husband. Chen Mommy's Kitchen really put us at ease to take care of other things instead of having to worry about meal prepping. Highly recommend giving them a try!

I ordered confinement meals for the second time, but this time I was a little disappointed. The dishes were repeated in almost 2-3 days. There were also a few times when the food was not fresh, it was sour when eating, and the delivery time was really slow The later it was, it was almost noon when I received it. I have responded, but there is no improvement... I am really disappointed overall... I will not order again next time....

My wife ordered the postpartum meals for a few weeks after a really difficult birth. They personalized the meals according to my wife's needs. The quality was great and my wife really felt that it helped her get stronger. You could tell that the quality of the ingredients was great. Although they offered delivery in New Jersey (where we live), I did pickup the meals myself weekly since I was working in the area. My wife was really satisfied and the restaurant staff was really nice so I would highly recommend Chen Mommy Kitchen.
My wife and I were very impressed with their food and services. The meals were authentic and fresh. Highly recommend.

When I signed the contract and paid the money, it was stated that it would be delivered at 11 o'clock every day. As a result, it has not been delivered at 12 o'clock every day, and one day it was even delivered at 1:20. At that time, I also asked about the food I was allergic to in advance. I had already told him that I could not eat peanuts because I would be allergic. But one day, I was given a whole bowl of boiled peanuts! Now I have eaten half-cooked pork liver that was not cooked. I really don’t know what to say.

We ordered the meal set for 7 days. The food is not bad, but definitely not great. Definitely tastes more like home-cooking than typical restaurant quality food (less greasy, less salty), but we paid $100/day for probably $30 worth of food. Most of the meals were just soup made from chicken/pork bones, and a few herbs... not bad, but really just bones and water. Oh, and so much rice! Rice rice rice, every day! Bone water and rice for $100/day! Also, for this price, you'd hope for each meal to just be delivered fresh and warm throughout the day, but instead they just dump a big bag of food outside your doorsteps first thing in the morning and ring your bell a bunch of times before just running off. Packaging is also not sustainable... they package everything into little plastic containers. I hope they can come up with a better way to package their meals, without so much waste.

Everyone I know have ordered from Chen mama after they gave birth. So when my confinement nanny(月嫂) fell through due to COVID, I desperately called them on my way home from the hospital and see if they could accommodate me starting the next day. The lady on the phone was very nice and helpful. Everything was set to start the next day after 10mins chatting on the phone. Food wise- I didn't have high hopes since confinement meals are known to be bland and full of soups. But the meals from Chen mama was delicious. It's not bland, portions are generous. Desserts are yummy, just the right amount of sweetness. These meals definitely took the stress off of thinking on what to eat daily. Price- since inflation, their price seems to be reasonable. It's obviously cheaper the more weeks you order. They are pretty flexible, you can start with 2 wks and add on more weeks if needed(just have to pay the difference) Overall- great service, yummy food, flexible ordering. Definitely recommend!

When I found out I was pregnant, all I thought about was the postpartum meals / traditional food I would miss, since my parents were unable to come during the pandemic to support me during my pregnancy. I am incredibly thankful for Chen Mommy's Kitchen. They gave us a free taste test of meals at the beginning, was willing to work with our many requests - one of which was to use our own glass containers instead of plastic containers. They also accommodated a request to send meals to the hospital when my baby was admitted there. Fresh meals are delivered daily, with desserts and a beverage. Meals are enough for 2 people, sometimes more than enough. I love the broth soups that come daily - exactly how I imagined it to taste. My husband was also very impressed and thankful that we have such support during these times. So much so, that we have extended our food delivery by 2 additional months! Jane is very responsive via email/ texts, which made the whole process easy and smooth. Thank you so much! x
