Chef Chen's

I can’t say enough great things about this restaurant! Their food is always hot and consistently yummy. Their customer service is 10/10. Attentive, kind and polite. Highly recommend them and I will keep choosing them!

New owners!! Food was amazing! && the breaded honey walnut prawns are back && amazing! The owner even handed my daughter a free Sunny D drink while we waited for our togo order.

I’m not sure why this place doesn’t have a line out the door! I didn’t find anything about it on line but took a chance and got some food to go. It is by far the best Chinese food I’ve had in years. The food is fresh, sauces are delicious and portions are generous. I have never written a review, this food is so special I wanted to share. Next time you have a craving for Chinese check it out. You won’t be sorry! Enjoy ✌🏼💕

They're clean, polite, great service to start off. Not to mention their delivery is awesome. The food comes hot and on time if you select a delivery time. Their driver is super polite and I just appreciate when delivery drivers dont make YOU feel rushed. The food is great, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a good chinese food night!

New owner.But the food is more better very tasty!

My dinner special was excellent and plentiful.

Been coming here for a long time since the new ownership has taken over they have stepped up the quality of the food service and overall experience good size portions always fresh

My go to place every time I’m craving fresh Chinese food, it’s very good, we come here almost every week. The orange chicken and wonton soup never disappoints, I recommend this place! :)

If you’re looking for good authentic Chinese food, this is the spot to go! My family loves it. It’s our go to all the time. Friendly customer service and food is always piping hot and delicious. Also the serving sizes are large, one plate can feed 2 people.

Chef Chen changed a new owner and the food is amazing here! Love the salt pepper chicken wings, mango chicken, fried chicken fillet and Mongolian beef! Great service, highly recommend!

I went this restaurant several times. The food is delicious especially the Mongolian beef and salt pepper chicken wings. The service is very good too. It’s a lovely family restaurant. Definitely recommend it!

My first time trying this Chinese Restaurant. We dined in. Our waiter's name was Brian. He greeted us with his pleasant smile & great personality. Brian is very personable & professional. He's very good at what he does & it shows. We ordered vegetable egg rolls, bbq pork chow fun, salt & pepper chicken wings, & chicken chow mein.. The food arrived within 10 minutes. The food was hot, fresh, portions were quite large, and it tasted amazing. It was the best Chinese Food I have tasted in a long time. The owner even came out, greeted us and asked how everything tasted. If you're in the mood for Chinese Food, we highly recommend you give this restaurant a try. I'm sure Brian and his Dad would appreciate your support and business. BTW, there were a lot of DASH Door Orders being picked up so take-out is another option. Thank you Brian for your excellent customer service and we look forward to our next visit with you.

This place is probably my favorite Chinese in town. I believe they're under new ownership, but the dishes taste fairly similar if not better. I've tried a few different dishes, all of them have been great. They have a special dinner for one which started at $9.25. You pick an entree and pork fried rice, and I think you can upgrade to chow mien for a buck. Service is very friendly, and the serving size is very very large. If you can finish this in one sitting, you need to be very hungry. Also it depends on what you get I suppose. Give them a try, especially if you've been there before in the past and had a bad experience.

Here at Chef Chens in Vacaville. Lunch specials we had today: Kung Pao Shrinp and Beef with Brocolli. DEEELICIOUS! Well deserved fove stars.

Ordered to go and it was delivered hot and well prepared.

Amazing food always love coming here.... the food is amazing

First time trying this place. The food and service were great. We got the Mongolian Chicken, General Chicken, Szechuan Chicken, and Potstickers. We will definitely be going here again.

Excellent service and the food was very good! Might be our new favorite place for Chinese food

Chef Chen’s is hands down the best Chinese restaurant in the area! The food is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned every time. The portions are generous, the staff is warm and welcoming, and the service is quick. Highly recommend the chicken chopsuey— absolutely delicious!

Food is excellent. Service is good. Atmosphere is plain.

My favorite chinese restaurant in town, the service is always great and the food is great aswell also big food portions!

Since me and my family moved here it has been me and my youngest daughters favorite spot so far we have tried many others here they beat them out‼️ thank you for keeping my family fed💓😋

I came in on a rainy day, looking for something to eat, and I remembered that a friend of a friend had recommended this place. My partner had already come here and said that the food was really good. We sat down. I got Mongolian chicken and my partner got to Szechuan beef And they were both cooked to perfection very tender. My partner doesn’t like spring rolls but when they tried Chen spring rolls, he did enjoy them. He said that they were well fried and had a very pleasant garlic taste. The main dishes had plenty of the vegetables as advertised, and they were crisp and well seasoned. They had plenty of sauce. It was spicy, but not too spicy and it wasn’t too sweet not too salty. I very much enjoyed the experience. I would come back. Oh all that for the lunch special $13.99 a plate can’t beat that in today’s economy

Old owners out, New owners in! totally new taste I love it I didn't go for 10 years straight because the old ones food cooking was just plain gross. These twins know how to cook great,Good size, will be back again my new favorite Chinese restaurant in town!!!

DELICIOUS!!! 😋These new and Improved owners are going to make Chef-Chens the best place in town! Big size too. The old couple owners made this place have a bad reputation, especially with their food and I went to washine For 15 years, but I'm not gonna lie Chef-Chens is definitely back. Wow!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good standard menu. My opinion: food quality at least slightly above average. A decade ago this location was a cheap buffet. Now I look forward to going again. Attentive service.

This place would honestly be 5 stars if they would give you your soup when getting a special for takeout. It's wierd not to and the cost of the regular soups are $10 making the lunch and dinner specials have less value with ordering takeout. I've said this before good food made fresh to order. Hope they fix the soup thing, I enjoy soup but don't have time to sit in, also soup is never worth $10 maybe have a small option or a add on option. 🤷‍♂️

I loved the food here, I recently went in again and seems like the food recipes are getting switched up or aren’t being made like before. I’m a little upset because this was the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Also the sir who attended me had sneezed into his hands twice and didn’t sanitize. The first time I said to myself okay it’s okay he’ll probably get some hand sanitizer but I was wrong, he then continued to touched my card and charged my card and then again sneezed into his hands again and touched my card one again to hand to me. Makes me think how many other times he’s done that and wonder if it’s happened in the kitchen where all the food is being prepared or even when packing or serving.

Just had this delivered. It's not bad. I would suggest getting sauce on the side. The lemon chicken and sweet and sour chicken breading was goopy from sitting in the sauces and we thought the chicken was dry. Tomato beef was best. Sizzling rice soup was bland. We had to add soy sauce and a splash of hot sauce for flavor. All in all, not great, but not bad.

Service was fast, they had my order ready in less than 15 minutes. I did encounter a problem—I ordered “#3 Eggplant and Stringbean” and I asked if there was protein, and they said no. I said may I please add chicken. They say yes, very accommodating. I got home, opened my box and there’s huge chunks of tofu and was confused. I was digging around for my eggplant but there wasn’t any. Not sure where the communication failed. Food was also heavy on sodium :/ But I do love the flavor! It was just too much and my order was wrong.

The corn was straight out of the can was not even warm. Had a coffee and there was a hair on the plate. I hate to write a bad review but I got to stay true

I had to return back to the restaurant because of an issue that I had with my order. It’s a far drive too. I am not writing my negative review because of that. I was willing to let that go because they said over the phone to just come back and get a new order to make up for it. The issue was that when I returned to the restaurant which was very inconvenient the cashier person was rude and didn’t acknowledge my presence. Not even an apology for the inconvenience. On top of that my tray was left on the counter without a bag for me to pick up. Was going to ask for some extra condiments because they didn’t even put that many in my order to begin with. I was just standing there and the cashier person was ignoring me while on the phone so there was no way to ask. Was the restaurant expecting me to just take the tray without a bag? Had to ask for one and that seemed like it was a lot to ask for. I have been dining here for years under different ownership and even brought them new customers through word of mouth but I won’t be going to this place ever again.

Hello I just wanted to leave this review and ask about that new cashier you got a while ago. He is a horrible person and haven’t gone since because i don’t want to be served by him. Is he still working for this place? I’d really love to stop by I love this place but need him gone or could I please get the days he’s off so I come in on those days. Thanks!

I can't speak to the customer service or atmosphere bc I ordered through Doordash. I ordered from Chef Chen's bc Dynasty in Fairfield is closed on Mondays and I really should have waited for Tuesday lol The beef and broccoli wasn't bad, but the fried rice having lettuce in it really threw me off. I won't be ordering from here again.

Got 4 different items and 3 people ate it and 3 people got the runs .One and done.I miss Yen King ,20 years and never bad food.

We used to dine here regularly and order to go or delivery but after this last experience NEVER again!!! All of our food was EXTREMELY SALTY!!! I mean how do you mess up Chow mein and fried rice?? My husband had to drive all the way back and when he arrived and told them it was too salty, they told him it wasn't! They then proceeded to tell him that nobody else complained about the food. After arguing with him, they said they would remake the food without salt. At this point my husband just wanted a refund for the dishes that were inedible (I'm talking like those prank videos you see where people put a scoop of salt on the spoon with the food they want someone to taste). They were hesitant and told him that they are losing out on food costs!!! Ever since management changed, this place has gone down hill with service and the food quality that they produce. I would suggest going to China House in downtown vacaville, Bao 88(more for dim sum but they have bomb chow mein and fried rice), or Noodle or Rice. The price point is pretty much the same but you will be getting way better quality and service! Lesson learned.

This a spot my family and I always come and love the food here and service used to be great before they got a new cashier ( the man with the glasses). we didn't leave a tip because of the service he gave. The second time he served us he was demanding a tip and making it seem like it was mandatory. He said that because we didn't tip he wasn't going serve us anytime we stop in.

I’ve ordered some chow fun and fried rice here and it was the saltiest food I’ve ever ate. It definitely does not taste the same as the first time I ordered this same exact dish. I normally never leave reviews unless they’re positive but this was such a disappointment.

I still left the guy a tip for some reason. We used to go this place back when I traveled for work. It was great then. The server needs to learn to be more polite. We walked in and I headed straight to the bathroom. He stopped me and asked "can I help you" I said I looking for the bathroom. Very abruptly he said " they are for customers only" 🙄 well I felt like walking out then but we didn't. Too bad cuz when the food came it really was lacking any meat on both dishes served and a ton of onions and s$*t load of rice really went down hill. Will be my last visit there.

I ordered some seafood rice and got a big container of rice with two pieces of shrimp so basically I paid extra money just for fried rice. I would not recommend I would go WAH SING On Peabody Road it’s so much better. This place has changed ownerships in the qualities out the door.

This place used to be so good. Growing up I came a lot until I moved out of state. Today I came back to try some of my favorites. With the new ownership, everything changed. Both the salt and pepper fish and potstickers used to be on the buffet. The potstickers are so bad and salt and pepper fish is now spicy and bland. The potstickers had black char all over them and the box. The potsticker sauce was terrible. I’ve given this place a few more chances since the change in management, but today finalized my decision, I will not return.

The food was not good at all. I have a headache from all of the salt!!! It’s been hours and the headache won’t go away. The fried rice is not fried rice it’s steamed rice mixed with the meat. Im so dissatisfied with the food. SALT overload.
