Having visited this restaurant multiple times throughout the years, it still remains a favourite of mine. You wouldn't expect to see a beautiful, old school Chinese restaurant that's impossible to tell from the outside. Starting off with a couple appetizers, the pan-fried dumplings were delicious and 100% homemade. Crisp exterior and tender filling on the inside. The fried squid was phenomenal. Possibly the best fried squid I've had in Rochester. These were fried to perfection and the squid was tender and fresh. For mains, we opted in for sweet & sour shrimp which is difficult to get wrong. The shrimp itself was ginormous which was great, and the sauce had the perfect balance between sweet & sour and the consistency was great. We also opted in for the market priced crispy seabass. This took me by surprise as I wasn't expecting such a huge fish, fried and accompanied with a great slightly sweet and savory sauce. The presentation alone left my jaw on the ground. The seabass was crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. Overall, a great dinner, an amazing atmosphere and friendly service from "Wendy." 10/10

First time going to Chen Garden, wow it is beautiful inside. It feels nice and peaceful, darker atmosphere. Food prices are very reasonable and food very tasty. Highly recommend. Second time at Chen Garden, wow! I never thought you can top it. They really go beyond for their customers. Food was delicious and perfect temperature, beautiful. Treated my friend and I very well.

This was a recommendation by my wife.We have not had very much luck with good Chinese food in Rochester. From the time we walked in I noticed that the atmosphere was very spacious and very nicely decorated. The menu has 15 pages of many delicious looking choices to choose from. My wife had a French Martini and it was very good and very strong. I just had water and tea which is what they start you out with when you sit down as well as the crunchy noodles and a nice full pot of tea.We got spare ribs for the appetizer. My wife had moo goo gai pan for her entree, and I had the beef lo mein. The food was so exquisite. Everything tasted great. I high recommended going here if you are in the mood for good Chinese food.

Great food, fantastic price for the quantity & quality of food! Even fried items don't feel greasy or heavy! The ambiance is very quaint. Definitely a place you could take a date too. The lighting is just perfect in this restaurant. It is dim but it gives the patrons the feeling of being in a more upscale restaurant. The menu is quite extensive also❗ Bravo to the proprietor❗

The food is always authentically delicious 😋 But this time the fried rice with veggies was SOOOO oily and I mean oily, and found EGG SHELL pieces while chewing. Not so good this time! Yuk. The place was so busy we didn't returned it. But it will be a while before we go back. 😞

The ambiance is really great in this place. You can never guess how it can be inside while you are outside the restaurant. The service was also great. We ordered veg pan-fried dumplings and veg feied spring rolls.. both were so good. Then, for the main course, we ordered chicken fried rice and Cantonese style dry noodles with white sauce. I wanted to try something new, so I went ahead with this noodles, I like something spicy. Maybe I went with the wrong dish this time. It was kinda blonde, and chicken fried rice was also okay. Everything else was perfect. Just make sure to select the right dish, and the quantity they provide is also huge.

I was looking for a chinese restaurant with good seafood options and to my surprise there were very few with fish options. I chose this one based on reviews. We loved it and would like to go there again. Best - fish with sesame sauce The fish was very soft and the sauce tasted really good. Loved it. The shrimp lomien was a bit bland for our taste, but we mixed it with gravy and ate it. The quality of noodles itself was very good. The waiter looked really tired and was in such a hurry although the restaurant wasn't that busy.

If old Chen was 100, new Chen is about a 80. Wonton soup was perfect. Steamed brown rice was exactly how you would want it for chop sticks. Cashew Chicken had about 20% of the Cashews that it had under prior owner ownership. Chicken was lower grade. Wife’s Mango Chicken had same lower grade chicken. If your a newbie you will think all is well, but if you’ve known the Old Chen you will be disappointed. We have been customers for 20 years, will be seeking other options.

Won Ton Soup very good. Lemon Chicken was very disappointing. Was a large, thick chicken breast sliced. Chicken was way to thick and dry. Was not crispy enough. This was a signature dish under previous owners. The fried rice was actually dry brown rice. Staff not very friendly. Will not be returning.

Wow, this was the worst Americanized Chinese food I had all 2025... Szechuan chicken, and Kung Pao tofu were bland, despite the Kung Pao being ordered extra spicy and the server asking "are you sure it's already super spicy". The lemon chicken looked, and tasted, like they just poured instant lemon pie filling over it. The interior is a little worn down and the menus have hand written prices and items had multiple prices without any being scratched out. The service was okay.

Really sad to say this, but: the food was good until I found a hair cooked into our takeout general tso chicken last night. Been a big fan of Chen Garden for a while now and understand that things happen, but I work in a kitchen myself and take the necessary precautions so my own hair doesn’t end up in customers’ food. Bummed to see the same precautions aren’t being taken here.

We came here on Christmas Day hoping for a nice dining experience, but unfortunately it fell short. Our waitress was very rushed and seemed annoyed whenever we needed help. She would drop the food off quickly and walk away without checking on us, and the service felt dismissive rather than welcoming. The food itself was barely warm and lacked flavor, which was disappointing. No one ever asked how everything was. That said, the other staff members we interacted with were very kind and helpful, which we appreciated. We really wanted this to be a positive holiday experience, but it just didn’t meet expectations. Granted it was very busy and they did seat us quickly but everything after was really bad.

Ordered from grub hub, half the ordere arrived. None of the rice that came with the meals was placed in with the orders or the drinks. It was a group order for hospital employees. When I called they were of zero assistance. They only offered to give a credit for the next time we ordered for the drinks. Absolutely worst customer service!
