Update Nov 2024. Something’s changed. And not in a good way. My wife and I had the family dinner - Sesame Chicken and Mongolian Beef. Family meals come with two fried shrimp, two egg roll, choice of several rice options, and a choice of soup. You cannot order two types of soup or two types of rice, so even though our tastes are different, we agreed on the vegetable rice and wonton soup. The wonton soup portions were served in individual containers and so I do not understand why we could not order different types. Also, the soup is NOTHING like it was just a year ago. The portion was small but more importantly, it was prepared with what was either a cabbage leaf or a lettuce leaf. All of the crunchy veggie add ins from the last time we ordered are now gone. The fried shrimp was disappointing - thick flavorless gummy breading over a small shrimp with no flavor. My Mongolian Beef was served in an overly sweet, thick, overpowering sauce. My wife’s Sesame Chicken lacked flavor. The vegetable rice lacked flavor but was a nice version of fried rice. Loaded with veggies. When you order a family dinner there’s no option without an upcharge for any seafood. The standard choices include pork, chicken or beef. Portions are smaller and prices are up, but that’s par for the course these days. We will have to decide whether or not to continue to support Chen’s. New photos are attached.

Update Jan 2024. Ordered pepper steak, cashew shrimp, a large won ton ($8.95 and feeds four), beef skewers, an egg roll. This is elevated Chinese food. The soup alone is a meal with so many fresh crunchy veggies added. Light broth, low sodium. Same with each entre - low sodium, light broth, crunchy veggies - which means fresh. I call it contemporary Chinese. Fast but nutritious healthy satisfying and affordable. Each entre will feed two-three. I'm still impressed. Chen's has a California-fresh Chinese -vibe kinda thing going on. More pics attached.

Ordered take out. First time here. Completely delighted with the quality, taste, texture and price. Had the Hunan Beef with white rice and a spring roll and a cup of wonton soup. The soup was served with fresh crunchy cabbage. The beef had a great smoky flavor, good heat, fresh crunchy veggies, and the beef itself was thinly sliced and very tender. Will be back. I recommend. Pic attached.

LOVE the new server girl! This place definitely needed some new life and she brought it. I don't know how long she's been there but she needs a raise or promotion for sure. Her name escapes me because I'm terrible with names but I remember that her hair was sort of green and she wore glasses 😅. Also the food portions here for the price? Unbeatable. Authentic and delicious!!

Green Tea in Mesa is off the freeway north of Highley is my place to go to now.😃👍Read everyones BAD reviews. Remember that you are paying for service and it should be done    right with people who cares about what they are doing or quit.
What's wrong with this restaurant? This use to be my go to place for Chinese food.... NOT NO MORE. Well my friends  today is a BAD DAY to eat at Chens Chinese  in San Tan Valley Az  at this place. My friends DON'T EAT HERE, THIS PLACE ISN'T FOR EVERYONE...I will brag an praise at any place if the food is good, if the person who is good server and been taking care of as a good customer. Now 👎👎👎👎👎 the BAD experience at this place today at 11:00am 12/30/2024
totally SUCKED today. I was craving Chinese food today,sweet and sour chicken 🐔 and chicken 🐔  Chow mein with fried rice. So I am ready to eat, all sounds soooo good RIGHT!!!  not so fast my friends, Turn of events.  The young man, who has no friendly matter, no communication skills, he is a bad waiter or in training. Anyways the food came for what I had ordered. Everything was hot except for the fried rice. I asked the unfriendly,unhappy young waiter, I told him my rice is cold, is it supposed to be cold??? He said no, most waiters and waitress would take the plates back to the kitchen and correct the order, not him. The egg rolls were like mush when you bite into them, greese, insides squshes out everywhere when you bite into them, with no explanation or expression with a solid answer and didn't offer to take the order back or bring any HOT 🔥fried rice. So I ate the rest of the hot food and left the  cold❄️☃️ fried rice aside. So when the came back to me with my bill, l noticed that there was not a  discount for the fried rice!!! I asked him about it. He said that it came with fried rice lol, he doesn't have a  clue🧐. So I asked for the manager, he went ask for him and he said that he didn't want to come to speak with me because he is confrontational. Doesn't anybody believe in taking care of your customers? Thats how you make your money and stay in business.  WOWWWWW.  So the young man 👨 in training doesn't know anything about being a waiter or this is how this place treats 🤔 it's customers. SUCKS for them  they lost my business and I will tell everyone I know don't go to this place,RUN FOREST RUN, 🏃🏃‍♀️How does rice come out cold 40 feet or less comes from my table from the kitchen?Good food, good service equals a good tip💴 bad service and bad food and you dont take care of it, you get nothing and like. If you don't take care of your repeat customers, you loose money. I paid for services and it's not up to par. Good food, good service gets good 👍  reviews,  bad food, bad service gets bad reviews 👎👎👎 l hope I don't get sick from their food

I've eaten here several times, every single time we come food takes anywhere between 30-45 mins even for just fried rice. The prices are pretty outrageous for portion size. The attached photo is a 13 dollar meal of vegetable fried rice, the container pretty much fits in  palm of my hand. The people at the counter are never very friendly, and overall their food is a very solid 3/10, always disappointing

My husband and I order from Chen's Chinese often. They are some of the best takeout in the area since we moved here about a year ago. We have enjoyed trying different menu items. Some of our favorites are the egg drop soup, veggie fried rice, and orange chicken. Our orders have always arrived fast and fresh!
