Honestly we only get take out here but it is good quality Americanized Chinese food. Love that you get a fortune cookie with each order and though some say smaller portions than before we find them more than adequate. This is our Chinese go to place in Powhatan.

Allen's has always been an excellent restaurant with great food and service; however, they have changed owners or new management and they had serious issues with their system and tried to make me pay twice. They called their bank to verify that my card was approved, which took nearly 20 minutes. My food was cold. The takeout was not what I ordered. Overall, I would avoid this restaurant. Not the same! Hopefully they will make improvements, but I won't go back again!

Went for lunch last week and my son asked for a Dr. Pepper to go. The waitress brought him a empty cup with a lid. That is ridiculous to do. I guess drink cost to much. Cup and lid cost more than the drink. Her tip paid for the drink he had while we had lunch ?.

Ordered a takeaway, orange chicken… was so fake absolutely inedible. Hot and dour soup no spice no flavor. Chicken lettuce wraps disgusting, rice dry with all dishes. About as Chinese as me….absolutely awful I will not go again. Anyone who likes this place has never eaten Chinese food.
New Owners go out of their way to make sure everything done right! My kung Po Chicken it was like I was in San Francisco China town again.

Allen's was an excellent place for our family to stop by after a long day. They had welcoming and consistent service, matched with quick, hot, delicious food. I personally had the Governor's chicken, a touch spicier than General Tso's and with extra veggies. I really enjoyed my meal, as well as our fried dumpling appetizer. The server and another man, who I believe to potentially have been Allen, were polite and accommodating to our needs. We will definitely be back!!

Food was OK at best. We ordered crab Rangoon, and 3 out of the 6 were still frozen in the middle, and their duck sauce is horrible. Our bill was over $40.00 for beef w/string beans and General Tso's chicken and the crab. Very expensive for the portion and quality of their food. We went back there because there were new owners and heard it was better than the last owners, not so much.
