" Chen's is a solid choice if you're looking for good food and an interactive dining experience. I enjoyed being able to pick all my own ingredients, and there were plenty to choose from. The only thing I found was that it could become a little chaotic when it's busy. Nonetheless, my meal was cooked to perfection, and the staff was very friendly throughout my visit.

" While my visit to Chen's had its ups and downs, I would say it was an overall positive experience. The food fresh and I really liked being able to create my own dish but I did find some of the ingredients to lack as much flavor as I hoped. The service was good, but the dining area was very crowded. I would still recommend trying it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chen's has a nice variety of fresh foods that allow you to create a meal just the way you like it. The only downside I encountered was that at peak dinner hours it can be quite crowded and you may have to wait a little longer for your food. However, the taste and quality of the food make it worth the wait. I look forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
