Cute little hole in the proverbial mini-mall wall. We had the chicken pad Thai & the orange chicken for lunch – was delicious. Loved that the orange chicken was soft & not crunchy like you get at other places. Their pad Thai isn’t like most traditional pad thai’s but their spin on it makes it that much more memorable! Their egg rolls are super tasty too! The young gentleman who runs the dining area & to-go orders is a rockstar. Handled the tables & flow of customers like he’s been doing this awhile & still keeps the customers happy & is attentive. Not from the area but if I’m in the vicinity – I’m definitely coming back! Does not disappoint.

This is a great little restaurant in an offbeat location. The service was great. A good value. We had pineapple pork and orange chicken.

I wish they would move back to their mall location this location seems to be so small sometimes we don’t even stop because the wait time and the waiting area is absolutely tiny. However the food is fresh always has a good taste prices are very reasonable.

Great little place to eat. Food was delicious. Staff was wonderful. Waiter had no problem explaining items on the menu and was very patient while we decided what we wanted. Will be back to try more of the great food.

Good food, decent price, so-so service. If you stay past 1:30 there is open hostility.

Great place for a workday lunch. Quick service, great meal consistency, and you definitely get what you pay for!

Great food but the lunch hours of 11-1:30 is terrible and they always close before 1:30. Got there at 1:15 and the door was locked and they sent me away. Not good business

Glad House of Chen is still around, we’re going to order more often! Food was affordable, plentiful, all of us had leftovers and the bonus is that none of us ever get msg headaches from this place. Egg rolls, crab rangoon, meals all fresh, hot and not overdone. Carryout was ready on time.

I’ll say it was good but not great.
