Our absolute favorite Chinese restaurant. I’m gluten free and they always make sure my food is safe. The family that owns the restaurant is so sweet and friendly. It’s always a pleasure to pick up dinner here.

The food was delicious and they gave you a LOT so definitely come hungry! The owner/lady working there was super nice and helpful. The atmosphere was nice you can tell that it was a family ran restaurant so it felt like eating at home ! Recommend for sure.

Take out. Ribs 6 out of 10 (slightly burned), hot and sour soup 8 out of 10 ( nice flavour with plenty of silken tofu), pork with mushrooms 8 out of 10 (good amount of mushrooms). Service was very friendly. As far as Chinese take out in this area goes, it's ok.

I am 35 years old and have been eating Chinese takeout maybe once a week for my entire life, mom and dad didn't know how to cook. I grew up for 20 years on Long Island where we had some EXCELLENT Chinese food restaurants. After moving to NC I've tried many places, but Chen Garden goes above and beyond. Let me make it very clear why. I have always loved Sweet & Sour chicken, but had come to expect poor quality meat with such a cheap dish. Look at the photo I have attached. If you enjoy chicken like I do, you can see that this is a quality cut of white meat chicken, and not that mashed up goop of blended together bits that so many other restaurants deep fry and tell you it's chicken. This is clearly a solid cut of chicken. Not only is it very high quality chicken, the staff is extremely polite and helpful. I forgot my wallet the last time I was there and they helped me figure out how to use my phone as my debit card because I didn't remember how to use it. And they have the most adorable little baby!! If you're lucky you'll get to meet the baby! Keep it up Chen Garden!

Great food and customer service!! Today we had Sweet and Sour Chicken and Singapore Mei fun. The dine-in section is small but adequate and clean. My apologies, photos were taken after we ate but the portions are plentiful and filling.

Delicious food with very large portions. Unlike many Chinese restaurants, their food is not swimming in soy sauce, so the natural flavor of the moo shu pork and the moo goo gai pan came through. Highly recommended!
