I would strongly recommend Chen’s Gourmet. I ordered something from their menu that I wanted to exchange as it tasted like peanuts. Not only did they allow me to keep the original, but they made a replacement. This is the customer service I rarely experience nowadays and sincerely appreciate. The food was delicious on top of that. Chen’s Gourmet will always have my loyalty

The food has little to no taste or seasoning. I couldn’t believe they were selling uncooked wings to people. I told her they were not done & she told me they had been cooked for 16 minutes….like ok? Cook it longer then. Because the wings were white. Almost like it was a bit too fresh….I also got lo mein with no sauce and it was awful. I would give 1 star if I could

After a long winter day my boyfriend and I stopped in to get some dinner. The food was delicious (just what we needed!) and we were even offered some complimentary hot tea! Very very kind staff , we definitely will be going back.

We visited family in DC for 10 days and on day 3 we ordered a huge vegetarian meal from Chen’s. In the following days, our meat-eating parents were requesting another order so we had another huge feast. What a delight and a treat this place is – some of the best fake meat I’ve ever had (and being veg for 30 years, that is saying a lot).

By far my favorite Chinese restaurant on the east coast. I especially like the General Tso as well as their crispy beef. The veggies taste fresh and are not overcooked. They use a little bit of sesame oil in their rice which gives it that little bit of extra flavor.

Gourmet is right. Chen’s offers some delicious and fair priced food with a wealthy sized portions. It’s not a large place and doesn’t have much space to eat, but I’d you do sit and eat, you can browse down at the MacArthur Blv atmospheres and people watch.

Chen’s Gourmet is a gem in the wall. Inconspicuously hidden above a few steps and modestly colored so that it’s wall blend into its surroundings, the only thing that could possibly garner and attention visually is it’s beautiful sign out front. That being said, the food is otherworldly. Rarely do I have Americanized Chinese cuisine that tastes of high quality ingredients, and unique recipe originality, but Chen’s does exactly that. The General Tso’s is beautifully done, under a layer of thick sweet and spicy sauce with large chunks of crunchy fried white meat chicken. The Kung Pao chicken and shrimp is also marvelous, done with a take airing more on the traditional palate, but excluding all the typical medley of random vegetables that offer little to the experience. Overall, Chen’s Gourmet provides an excellent dining experience, where the food is phenomenal, the owner and chef and the rest of the employees are kind and generous, and the atmosphere, in spite of its modest exterior, boasts a little restaurant that the people of the Palisades are proud to call their own.
