Allen's Chinese Restaurant

Chinese Restaurant $$ 4.3 (460)

Allen's Chinese Restaurant is a mixed bag when it comes to authenticity and food quality. While some customers still appreciate the traditional aspects of the menu, others feel the new ownership has led to a decline in flavor and authenticity. The atmosphere is generally well-received, making it a comfortable spot for many, but the service and consistency of food quality have been highlighted as areas needing improvement.

" What a lovely discovery! I had lunch at Allen's recently and I was blown away by the freshness of the ingredients. I ordered the sautéed vegetable dish and it was vibrant and delicious! The dumplings were a great appetizer as well. The staff was friendly, and even though it was a busy lunch hour, they made sure to check on us multiple times. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Chinese meal. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has lived in China, I was looking for something authentic and was disappointed. The food was alright but tasted very Americanized. I tried the beef with broccoli which was decent, but no real wow factor. The ambiance was sweet, and the workers were really nice, but I'm afraid it just didn't hit the mark for me. Might be better suited for those looking for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience! The food was fresh and flavorful. The orange chicken had a hint of spice that really made it shine. My friends and I shared several dishes and everything was so good. I loved the fried rice along with their crab rangoon. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, which I appreciated. I’m looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just average, I’d say. The place was okay for a casual meal, but the food didn’t wow me at all. I had the orange chicken, and it was pretty much what you’d find at a fast food Chinese place. It was also pretty oily, which is a turn-off. The service, while friendly, took too long. I wouldn’t rush back any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hoping for an authentic experience, but I found Allen's food to be quite standard. There was nothing standout about the flavors. The service was friendly, and the ambiance was great, making it a lovely place to eat, just not memorable when it comes to the food. I’ll likely look elsewhere next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last Saturday, I had the chance to finally try Allen's after hearing so much about it. To my surprise, I really enjoyed the food! The General Tso's Chicken was the highlight of my meal; it was crunchy, sweet, and zesty, exactly how I like it. I also tried the egg rolls, which were crispy and fresh. The service was slightly slow, but the waitstaff was friendly and made up for it. I definitely plan on visiting again, especially for takeout. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the best fried rice at Allen’s! It was packed with vegetables and chicken, not oily at all, and had the perfect amount of flavor. My dining companions also pleased with their orders. We loved the communal atmosphere and how friendly the staff was. I can confidently recommend this place for anyone craving Chinese food! " (*Curated Review*)
