Chen is a wonderful little treasure, unassumingly nestled along Penn Ave. the menu is large but not intimidating, the hostess was happy to make suggestions based on preference, the food is incredibly well done and delicious even if you’re not strictly vegan. Incredibly clean and friendly establishment. If you’re vegan or just looking for a clean eating change of pace, this is a great spot to stop
The location is great, service and food was excellent! I love that the menu is all vegan and no animal products are used so it takes the guesswork out of ordering. I can’t express how great the food was. I ordered the general tso chicken, crispy and for dessert the cheesecake. Both were the best I’ve ever had. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and I can honestly say the cheesecake was the tastiest and creamiest cheesecake I’ve ever...read full review
I'm obsessed with their food, even when I was an omnivore. We travel an hour and a half to eat there and take tons of food home!

The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to provide great service. The restaurant is clean and has beautiful decor, contributing to a fun dining experience. It is a perfect spot for those in the Reading area looking for delicious and fresh vegan grub. The mock chicken nuggets are a must-try, and customers often leave impressed with the textures and tastes of their meals.

The food is described as authentic Chinese, with the soy-based meat substitutes and some tempeh. Both dine-in and take-out options are available, with quick preparation times and friendly staff. The interior and exterior may not reveal the high quality of food inside, but the restaurant offers top-tier vegan Chinese cuisine that rivals places in New York City and Philadelphia.
