I first stumbled across Chen's while in college. I was in the computer lab and someone ordered in Chinese and apparently thought no one would notice the Chinese food smell. It smelled really good and I asked where they got it, and it was Chen's. I was impressed that the chicken entrées were made of large chunks of chicken breast , not tiny pieces of guess what part of the chicken this might have been stringy pieces. The sauces are not all the same for the different entrées, each is a tasty sauce appropriate for that entrée.
Especially impressive is the specials, such as the great lunch special for about $4 that is very generous and runs until late in the afternoon. (College students at SCSU can order at lunch prices all day) The specialties include 21 fried baby shrimp, which are usually large shrimp, and very fresh and tasty. Wonton soup for $2 comes with about 6 -7 large wonton in it, the small $1 comes with at least 4 wonton. The platters are generous, they have delivery, they include a free eggroll or soda with a $12 order.
There are two or three small tables, but it is primarily take-out. Everything is cooked to order.
