Chef Chen Restaurant — Restaurant in Warren

where was the flavor ?? I sat my happy self down to watch beast games on prime in my bed snuggled up like I’m Goldilocks and instead I was brought with tears to my eyes, not because of the person winning the island, because of the food. I opened my chicken fried rice, delightful as to what delicious delectables would meet my tastebuds, and was met with my school lunch food..yellow rice and white chicken.. I sighed wondering why the chicken looked so unflavored.. i didn’t dare to put thy chicken near my mouth.. in fear of what would come. poor chicken died for this?!? next, opened my chicken lomein, pondering apon if this would be a better deal than the last tragedy was, and it looked good. I sniffed a big sniff, thinking wow.. it smells like…a pumpkin..? I ignored it and I pondered..I shakily unhinged my jaw…shaking as I put the fork to my mouth…to be met with disappointmentI never thought I would taste nothing. It tasted like nothing. The chicken itself wasn’t dry..it was just wet. I felt like it was wet food for my cat and maybe I was mistaken for a moment. I sadly closed the boxes and went and settled on a chocolate bar instead. sad. btw episode six of beast games is out...

EDIT 8/30/21 - came back again and this time tried the curry tofu. Out of the park delicious, AND VEGAN. Owner AGAIN was extremely accommodating and even cooked up a second spicy tofu dish for me to try to he could experiment with a new vegetarian/vegan food for his restaurant. He is very passionate about his business and wants to improve his menu and food. Worth the 30 min drive from Youngstown.

Talked to the owner and he kindly explained what was vegan/vegetarian. Sweet and sour tofu & curry tofu only. He also explained that many Chinese restaurants still use chicken stock, hoisin/oyster sauce in their “vegetable dishes”. So if they tell you it’s vegetarian/vegan get clarification first. He was really looking out for me as a customer with this interaction. Came from Youngstown(30 mins) will be back for sure. Hope he adds a vegetarian/vegan menu soon! Would love to have a vegan sesame tofu dish if...

I wish I could give more than 5 stars because we had the most delicious dishes for dinner from CHEF CHEN. We ordered the Sesame Chicken which was ever so delish! Next Bourbon Chicken which was utterly fantastic! Next was Chicken Chow Mein which was tasty as can be! The only dish that did not impress was the Cashew Chicken..although it was loaded with cashews it was not a favorite. We also got the Chicken sticks..4 of those are a meal unto themselves! They give an enormous amount of food, so we had all the goodness for another meal. The rice was cooked to perfection as was all the veggies in the meals. The egg rolls were sooo good..heck even the fortune cookies were tasty. Dessert? The Chinese Donuts are a bite of heaven on earth! We will back...
