What People Are Saying About Chen's Chinese & Sushi
The Editor

Citysearch
The Scene – Simple, modern and spacious--with an abundance of tables for two--Chen's is a stylish surprise in the heart of Wrigleyville. Bamboo floors and wood accents complement the dining room's white walls; the ceiling glows with soft blue light. A small lounge with fireplace and a sushi bar round out the comfortable space. – – The Food – Chen's menu is familiar (lemon chicken, crispy duck) and reasonably priced. Pan-fried dumplings are plump and perfect--add a dash of super-hot chili paste if you dare. Refreshing chilled octopus salad is ideal for splitting--this…

Chen's - another underwhelming experience in chinese cuisine
by AnandV at Citysearch
I was recommended by a friend to try Chen's on Clark. I was immensely dissappointed in my experience. The flavors at chen's lack depth, and the food is unoriginal and uninspiring. Because there is so much bad chinese food out there, i was hopeful that Chen's would be a welcome departure from the plethora of bad chinese restaurants. I was wrong. Chen's is just another in a long live of substandard chinese restaurants. Yen's, on Clark street, as well, is much much better. I definitely recommend them over Chen's.
- Pros: Food is way overrated, lacks flavor and freshness
- Cons: Food is overrated, lacks flavor and freshness

Mr. Chen should be ashamed
by mille1473232 at Citysearch
How is it possible that my fried rice had mushrooms, peas, carrots, and other veggies in it yet had no taste. These veggies must have been frozen since 1995 for there to be absolutley no flavor coming from them when they were cooked with the rice. I have tasted better more flavorful chicken from Mcdonalds than I did from Mr. Chen's restaraunt.
Did I mention that I was sick for 2 days after eating here? The only good thing that came from eating here is that I now have a stock pile of pepto bismol and other stomach remedies in my cabinet that I had to go out and buy.
Mr. Chen.....I would give your restaraunt 0 stars if possible.
- Pros: hmmmmm......
- Cons: Bland food, stomach hurts

Average Chinese, with the understanding that the average in town is not very good
by DavidTerrall at Citysearch
Another typica chinese dive, but one that pretends to offer more, Chen's greatly disappoints. There 's only one decent chinese restaurant in Chicago right now... and that is Shanghai Terrace in the city.... that's the cold hard truth.
- Pros: Average food, average service
