Chan's Restaurant — Restaurant in Arcata

First off if you are reading this ignore all those 1 star reviews I read them all and they are very vague. Secondly i eat here every week the food tastes great. I always order my food together the floor may need new carpet, but the food is absolutly wonserful. My regulars are the general chicken and i ask them to make it spicy or the number 1 combo which comes with awesome pork fried rice mar mar chicken and pork chow mein they always give you the choice between soft or hard noodles. But my favorite side to get with the is the cheese puffs a classic and they make it great. They have nice kind people working as staff who remember you and always are down for a little convo while you wait. I heard bad things about them before i went there and good, but when i actually tried them they are great! Oh but i wouldnt go here if you are vegan vegitarian is fine enough but they don't have really many vegan options cause there noodles are made with egg and all. Still if you arent vegan you'll...

Chan's has been serving Humboldt County Chinese food since 1942! And the current location has been in operation since 1972. The place might not be the most eye appealing exterior but don't let that keep you from pulling into the parking lot. Inside you'll walk into the restaurant probably exactly the same way it looked back in the 70's! One of the Chan's family members will seat you and bring you water, hot tea and take your order. The food is so so good. It's much more traditional than typical white washed Chinese food. Three generations of the Chan's family can be found working there on a daily basis. The excellent recipes have been taught and passed down from the grandparents to the kids and now the grandkids and soon the great grandkids. I can definitely recommend you must try this place for yourself. They also have a huge number Togo orders. If you prefer to grab and go, they certainly will be able to accommodate...

100% waste of money. This was the worst take out experience. Egg rolls where deep fried puffs with 25% smushy cabbage and 75% air pockets, nothing else. Horrible. Orange and sweet and sour chicken came with awful deep fried completely off looking chicken. The broccoli beef was nasty. The beef was off, like it was sour and there was only about 2 pieces. The broccoli appeared to be frozen and cooked to mushiness. 🤢The only thing that was edible was the chow mein (tho it didn’t contain chicken, kinda happy about that in hindsight) and the fortune cookies. Everything else went in the garbage. Cannot stress this enough, do not order from here! I do not understand how they are in business. Support another small business that actually gives your family a decent meal...
