Chef Chen's — Restaurant in Redwood City

Quick and satisfying! I went for lunch here today. Some lunch specials are only $5. Since the prices were so reasonable, I decided to splurge and get the Combination Seafood Lunch Plate. $6.75 plus tax ($7.40 total) for shrimp, fish, scallops, etc. It was a generous serving of food which also comes with your choice of rice, appetizer, and soup (if you eat in the restaurant).

There are too many great restaurants in this area to waste your time with...

The chicken tasted raw/uncooked, also lacked salt, and the sauce was more sweet than sour. The prawns - I get it, I ordered salt and pepper prawns. But it tasted as if whatever salt was lacking in the other dishes, they added all in this one. The fired rice was hardly that. It just looked sad - no flavor, color, and not enough veggies or egg. Now I'm sitting at home, drinking ginger ale because I have an...
