The restaurant had four tables and the waiter wouldn't even look at us. After we had been there nearly 15 minutes he took the order of a table that had been there before us. After 25 minutes of being ignored, we left.
We had the best General So's Chicken that we've had in a very long time tonight. It was easy to get a table because they do a TON of take-out orders! The people are very friendly and it's so nice to see smiling faces again!
I’ve heard people rave about this place, so I gave it a try yesterday 2/15/22.
I’ve never thrown away fried shrimp before, but these were really bad.
The shrimp were mushy and the batter was thick and hard.
The rest was just as bad, and except for a few bites it was all put in the trash.

Zhen's Chinese Restaurant offers a variety of options, including lunch specials and a large menu to choose from. Known for its soups and flavorful dishes, the restaurant has a loyal following in the area. Pork fried rice, including General Tso's, is a popular choice. The atmosphere is rather dated and in need of a refresh, but the food is excellent with huge flavor. Customers appreciate the welcoming staff, free hot tea, and charming ambiance, including a crane painting and clean booths. Recent reviews highlight the quality of the food, with dishes like Tofu Delight and Vegetable soft noodles chow mein served fresh and hot, with vegetables cooked perfectly. Portions are large and often too much for one person, making it a good place for sharing. Staff are friendly and attentive, and customers note that their orders are ready exactly when promised. However, service can sometimes be disorganized, especially during busy times, and new staff may feel overwhelmed. Some customers expressed frustration over tips being shared among staff, which affected their overall experience. Despite these issues, Zhen's remains a solid American Chinese restaurant in the area, with consistently good food and a welcoming environment.
