Won't they be open?
Everything was cooked to perfection, but was totally tasteless. Very disappointing
Dirty dishes, unwashed cloth napkins! 🤢
It's ok.
Amazing place
Please be aware there is no Peking duck. I called up to confirm the restaurant served Peking duck and made reservations for a family reunion. Upon arrival I was informed they haven’t served Peking duck in over 2 years. Very disappointing.

Several things set Cho-Sen apart from other Chinese eateries, Kosher or not. Including the unique and crispy-delicious wonton strips - or in this case, wafers - that are on the table next to duck sauce. You won't want to again settle for the bland, noodle-shaped ones served everywhere else. These are in a class by themselves. As was the Sweet & Sour chicken. It wasn't my idea to order that, but I was glad we did because it was the best chicken I ever had in a Chinese restaurant. My two dining companions would agree. We could not believe how tasty the s&s nuggets were, but then, it's kosher chicken which is the best, right? The egg drop soup was also superb. The next time I go though, I will request that the eggplant come floating - not drowning - in garlic sauce. It was still tasty though. Next visit, I won't order steamed dumplings that we felt were too thick-skinned doughy (see my pic). And finally, the Lamb with veggies Special was good, but I think I prefer lamb at an Indian restaurant. These minor negatives were not enough to take away from a great meal, but enough to take away one star. I highly recommend Cho-Sen!!

We went there for Mother’s Day yesterday for dinner and ordered shredded chicken which we always get, the waiter who was extremely rude asked if we wanted spicy which we said no as we received our food the waiter brought something completely different and when we told him we never ordered this he started screaming at my wife that she was not clear on her order, we asked him to replace it and he took it back. When he returned with the shredded chicken he started screaming at us at the whole restaurant that we need to be clear on what we ordered when he is the one who in fact took the wrong order. We called the manager and told her what happened instead of apologizing the waiter said they are busy which gives him the right to scream at the customers and did not even apologize. When we got the bill we noticed he brought us additional spicy salmon rolls which we did not order. Absolutely horrible customer service and very rude waiter almost had my wife in tears. Need to train the staff on how to provide good customer service

I have been a lover of cho-sen. We go there for my birthday every year. However, I feel the quality of food has gone under. It’s slowly has declined ever since Norman left for Florida. With a broken heart but a hopeful soul, I declare Cho-sen worse than wok-tov, stop chop and wok and wing wong. The food we picked up is inedible. I feel nauseous after eating some and doesn’t taste the same anymore. Please please Cho-Sen make a comeback
