Chens Gourmet

Good food

Favorite dumplings in DC!

This place has some of the best vegetarian friendly Chinese food I’ve ever had. The fake chicken made with gluten is INSANE. Definitely recommended.

Great Chinese restaurant

Superb environment and very amiable service. The food was crisp and delightful. Will easily recommend this place to anyone. Fair prices and big portions. Great job.

Lunch box specials are one of the best deals in the city.

I never write reviews but I had to comment on this one. I recently experienced the worst Singapore noodle dish I have ever had. No curry flavor at all. Chicken was cooked with globs of fat still on it, beef was tough and chewy, shrimp was not deveined. I ate 1/4 of the dish and threw the rest away....and I hate wasting money. Never again.

I’ve eaten from this place 3 times, each time I was hoping for a more satisfying experience, but I was underwhelmed with each visit.

Great Hunan beef. The online ordering didn't work so well, but called in an order to pick up and it was amazing. Going to be eating here regularly.

The food is great.It is best to call to place your lunch time order because they are very busy.They have patio seating which gives you a good view of street life.The street life ivery vibrant.The staff is friendly annd their service is 5☆☆☆☆☆

UPDATE: since it's super convenient for me, I tried it again despite my earlier bad experience. I got the recommended-by-other-reviewers General Tso's, along with wonton soup and BBQ spare ribs. The chicken was tasty and tender, the ribs not very glazed but decent quality meat, but the soup had limp noodles and was rather tasteless. Big picture, though, a big improvement over my initial impression. Still expensive though.Original review: Poor quality - greasy, tasteless - and pricey to boot

Amazing take out! Some of the best ever! Basil fried rice spicy!!!

Ordering at Chen's for the first time I was expecting mediocre Chinese food, boy was I ever wrong. I ordered two General Tao's chicken plates, one extra spicy for myself the other regular for my girlfriend. The chicken was a great quality and came with a generous helping of broccoli. I consider myself a big eater, but it was all I could do to finish my plate. My girlfriend made hers into two meals. The extra spicy had heat on part with Thai or Indian hot. It was the best Chinese food I've had not only in DC but in the US. The chicken was crispy and not soggy, and the broccoli was steamed to perfection. On top of that they give us a few $10 off coupons. This is my new go to place for Chinese. Highly recommend!

Good food...Love it...my favorite Chinese food place in the Palisades

Without a doubt the worst "Chiinese" food I have ever eaten. Gelatinous sauces all super sweet; recoooked broccoli, flavorless eggplant. We used to look forward to getting food there. But this was just awful.
