China Chen

One of my favorite place to eat. Linh’s recommended

China Chen is a longstanding gem in the San Jose area, and I'm glad they're still as popular as ever. You've got to try their famous mì (egg noodle) soups. This restaurant is called "China" Chen because the founders are from the Chinese district of Saigon. The #10 (mì with bbq pork and shrimp wontons) is the soup I always order. You can also request rice noodle or soup on the aide. However you want it, you can have it at China Chen! I also love the sui cao chien (fried shrimp wontons) and banh bot chien trung (fried flour cake with egg) as appetizers. If you're in downtown San Jose, I highly recommend China Chen!

They are Pro of Chinese Dishes especially their noodle that i love most❤

The noodle has a very strong alkaline taste. When I came about 2 years ago, it does not have it. Now, especially if I order the big bowl, it has a very strong alkaline taste. Also, it closes very early. When I want to go, I need to rush just to make it in time before last order.

I used to come here frequently but stopped after they stopped serving chow mein and other rice dishes, the soups are good too though but bring back the chow mein or send me the recipe please!!!

Good, hot food. Not the greatest atmosphere but… the food makes up for it.

Really loved the simple and comforting egg noodle soup with pork and wontons. The fried wontons were super flavorful. The egg noodles were also perfectly firm and chewy.
