Chen's Noodle House is Craig's and my go to Chinese restaurant for delivery. Although it is Americanized, we love the food and the service is fast and friendly. It's right next to University Mall and is a lovely place to go if you're looking to dine in after a stop at the mall.

Order:

Cheese Wonton: Craig and I had never really tried cheese wontons before so this time we gave them a try. They're little pieces of heaven. Fried wonton wrapped around seasoned cream cheese and served with sweet and sour sauce. I can see nothing wrong with that sentance.

Mu Shu Chicken: For those that have not had Mu Shu anything, it's a dish NOT served with rice but served wrapped in a thin pancake. They give you the two separately so you can build it how you want it without being left with a soggy pancake. The dish consists of whatever meat you choose (in this case chicken) with cabbage, carrots, eggs, scallions, and dry sherry served with hoisin sauce. Chen's Noodle House is extremely generous in their portions so there is enough to go around and then some. It has a perfect mix of a sweet and salty flavor when mixed with hoisin sauce that you can eat them without the pancakes and still enjoy it.

Beef Lo Mein: Lo Mein, often confused with Chow Mein (thanks Panda Express), are soft noodles mixed with a soy type sauce, green onions, carrots, cabbage and a meat. In this case we chose beef. I prefer the beef to the chicken because the fat in the beef makes the beef juicier and very tender rather than the tough and sometimes dry chicken. Whenever we get the Lo Mein it seems like the box will never empty, no matter how much we eat. We appreciate the large sizes as we love Chinese food.

Fast, delicious Chinese food = Chen's Noodle House

Period.
