Absolutely the best Chinese food we've had in Bradenton/ Sarasota by far!! We're used to having very authentic Chinese food after living in several states in the last two decades. We've tried many in the area since our move here but this is by far the best. The ingredients are very fresh and their cooking skills superb. I ordered Shrimp with Cashew Nuts and the shrimp was cooked perfectly while the vegetables were cooked well but very crunchy. They have 27 choices for their lunch specials and they include Roast Pork Fried Rice and a 12 ounce can of soda for a very reasonable price. They also have free hot Chinese tea. Their portions are large - I ate half and took the rest home. My husband ordered General Tso's Chicken and he said it was outstanding. He couldn't finish his either! Along with their lunch menu they have an extensive dinner menu. I've attached lots of pictures. I'm very impressed. We have chosen this as our #1 Chinese restaurant. Due to COVID-19 you cannot eat in now but you can call ahead and pick up our just stop by and order. Your food will be ready in about 10 minutes so great if you're shopping you can pick up to take home to eat....

We also had chicken curry with chicken fried rice, very authentic flavor. The shredded pork wasn't necessarily shredded, more sliced thin, but it was really well cooked with the not overdone broccoli, which I appreciate, and the pork fried rice was on point. I did think the steamed dumpling cases were a little thick but the filling was really tasty. Very happy Chen's is...
Read moreThe food here at Chen’s Gourmet is excellent! I recently moved to Bradenton from NYC. Having eaten at many different Chinese restaurants in NYC’s Chinatown area, I can say that the food at Chen’s Gourmet is very reminiscent of the high quality food I would get back in NYC. I especially like the fried dumplings and the sesame chicken. Chen’s serves big, moist pieces of chicken, not tiny pieces of chicken covered in ridiculous amounts of batter like I have had at some other local Chinese restaurants. The young lady who takes the orders is polite...
