We takeout from Chen Garden a lot and it has been our favorite Chinese food spot in Rochester. The food is really good and portions are big. We can usually get 2 meals out of one order! 10/10 would recommend
Everything was great. I just thought it was too dark. The food and service were excellent!
Beautiful restaurant with great table service. The only place that we feel safe ordering gluten free dishes. Equally, their takeout food is scrumptious. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free is clearly indicated on the menu. A separate dish of gluten free soy sauce was served to my husband who has Celiac Disease. We ordered some dishes that were not GF. Our waiter was careful to remind us which dishes were safe.
The sweet and sour chicken was terrible. Beef lo mein and the Winton soup were okay
Having visited this restaurant multiple times throughout the years, it still remains a favourite of mine. You wouldn't expect to see a beautiful, old school Chinese restaurant that's impossible to tell from the outside. Starting off with a couple appetizers, the pan-fried dumplings were delicious and 100% homemade. Crisp exterior and tender filling on the inside. The fried squid was phenomenal. Possibly the best fried squid I've had in Rochester. These were fried to perfection and the squid was tender and fresh. For mains, we opted in for sweet & sour shrimp which is difficult to get wrong. The shrimp itself was ginormous which was great, and the sauce had the perfect balance between sweet & sour and the consistency was great. We also opted in for the market priced crispy seabass. This took me by surprise as I wasn't expecting such a huge fish, fried and accompanied with a great slightly sweet and savory sauce. The presentation alone left my jaw on the ground. The seabass was crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. Overall, a great dinner, an amazing atmosphere and friendly service from "Wendy." 10/10
