Jen's Chinese Food & Catering

This used to be my go-to spot for Chinese food in the neighborhood. For years, the quality, flavor, and consistency kept me coming back. Unfortunately, over the past few visits, the food quality and overall taste have noticeably declined. Dishes that used to be fresh and flavorful now seem rushed and lacking the attention to detail they once had.
It honestly feels like the owner may not be as involved as she used to be, because the difference is significant. I’m disappointed to say we’ll likely be looking for another local spot to replace what was once our favorite. I truly hope they can turn things around.

Weirdest menu I’ve seen at a takeout Chinese spot. Food is subpar and overpriced.

Tonight’s takeout left me seriously wondering if Jen’s uses lab-grown meat.

I’ve ordered from Jen’s many times, and the quality is usually reliable, but today’s meal was noticeably off. The meat in the beef lo mein, as well as the chicken in one of the rice entrées, tasted overly artificial and extremely stringy. The texture was bland, rubbery, and just awkward, nothing like what we’re used to receiving from here.

This wasn’t a minor difference, it was a clear departure from their normal quality.

Probably the worst chinese we’ve had in the area. My son said the sweet and sour chicken was too chewy and the sauce tasted off. My veggie lomaine I got was dry and plain. My other son had egg rolls and said they were ok. My veggie one was ok. Gave the extra star for the eggrolls

I've been going to Jen's since we moved to Massapequa about 3 years ago. We moved from Queens and wanted to find a Chinese restaurant with the quality of what we were used to - we found Jen's! It's like our Queens chinese restaurant but even better since it's healthier! We love their Stir Fry (where you create your own dish!) and every now and again we indulge in the Fried Half Chicken - no chinese restaurant in long island even has this, if you know, you know - it's delicious! Also, their egg drop soup is incredible :-) Head over to Jen's if you are looking for delicious chinese food (and a plus if you a craving a fried half chicken!), you won't be disappointed!

This is my favorite Chinese food place on Long Island. It’s a bit more expensive than your standard Chinese food place but well worth it. They also offer a ridiculous amount of customization options which is awesome. I like getting things done in their ginger scallion garlic stir fry option for a lighter dish than the heavy sugary sauces. My friends and I agree that sometimes the egg rolls are a bit too well done. Try this place, you won’t be disappointed!

Jens used to be the best. Was our go to for the last 5 years. Had take out last night. Nothing was like it used to be. Sesame chicken was awful. Dry & tasteless. Hot & sour soup used to be so delicious. It was the worst I’ve ever had. Scallion pancakes were soggy. So sad. This happened several months ago too, but we were hoping things would be back to good again. They weren’t. Hey Jen’s! What’s going on???????

Literally the best to go chinese food on Long Island. We drive two towns away and pass many other options.I can only speak to the vegetarian options but my non - vegetarian kids love it too. Have never eaten inside the restaurant , they do have a number of tables.
