Reviews for Mister Chen Express in Scarsdale, NY
Great food, so happy to discover this restaurant.
I know thatbGeneral Tso Chicken is a spicy dish. But my dish the other day was way to spicy.
Excellent authentic northern Chinese food. Steamed Juicy buns is a must try. Wonton broth is also authentic (time consuming),... made w dried flat fish. Garlic w Chinese veges. Salt and pepper shrimps in a fusion style. Beef noodles soup is good too.Surprising to find good traditional Chinese food in upstate New York. If you?re ordering from this place, avoid the AmericanChinese dishes on the menu. Try the REAL Chinese dishes. Enjoy! Read more
The first time we ordered in December 2021, all I really wanted was the stir fry pea shoots. My child had chicken tender with... egg fry rice, and my hubby had Dan Dan noodles and boneless ribs. We were very excited about the quantity of the pea shoots wereceived. However, upon opening, I discovered sores and brown patches on the cooked vegetable. The taste was rotten andunpleasant. It dawned on me that we were given old stale pea shoots and I can't even salvage it. Needless to say it caused minorupset stomach afterwards. I'm disappointed by our first takeout experience from Mr.Chen's Express. I was really hoping tobecome a regular but the bad pea shoots really let me down. Read more
As I was walking on Garth Road, I noticed a sign in the doorway of what used to be a long closed restaurant. It was a building... permit for the expansion of Mr. Chen Express that would be expanding into a much larger restaurant, while keeping their originallocation next door! This is wonderful news since Mr. Chen Express offers wonderful Chinese foods but there is really no place tosit and enjoy their delicious meals! I?m guessing that the newly expanded restaurant will be open soon and it will be a greataddition to many patrons who are loyal customers! Read more
It's good to have a new take out option on Garth. Food has been solid, and the storefront is clean and well run. Lunch menu is... the play, great value and the quality shines when they are busy. The crispy beef is delicious, as have been all the dumplingand bun options I've tried so far. The options go beyond the typical - including some delicious apps you won't find elsewherelocally (red bean and taro buns come to mind). Orders are ready very quickly, I live within quick walking distance but havenever had to wait for my order. Those unaccustomed to local pricing might find themselves surprised - to those I'd explain thatit's actually less expensive than it's dated and underwhelming competition down the street (worlds cleaner as well). The pricesare somewhat higher than Golden Ducks had been (which they replace), but the quality of the food, more extensive menu and floorthat does not adhere to ones shoes justify the increase.

I have no idea how this place has 4+ stars? Decided to try based on high reviews and can?t say the food was anything but... passable, at best. No one really enjoyed any of the dishes we ordered. They also gave us the wrong soup and the fortune cookiesare stale. We had high hopes, but will definitely not order food from here again. Read more
Just a good all around Chinese comfort food spot.
