Mr. Chen’s Organic Chinese

Looking for high quality Chinese food in DC is becoming a dismal joke. They dare to plant “organic” in the name as a lure for all of us who might buy in. ?The food was all underwhelming, but the shrimp and broccoli in particular was disturbing with a smell and after taste that led to abandonment. I hadn’t eaten here in years and I won’t be back.

I love Chinese food, but I wanted high-quality and “clean” ingredients. Mr. Chen’s did just that. First and foremost I was greeted with a smile upon entry. I ordered spicy Hunan Chicken and vegetable spring rolls and both items were 20/10! The food was made from scratch and the packaging was even noticeable. I can’t wait to be back!

After waiting over an hr. and a half for my delivery order to arrive, I found a bug in my chicken lo-mein which was beyond disgusting. Still waiting on my refund. Order at your own risk.

I ordered the Kung Pao chicken lunch special for carryout and it was perfect. The chicken was tender and perfectly cooked and my order was ready on time. I recommend carryout over delivery.

The place was incredibly disappointing. Went for dinner. Ordered orange chicken. It was significantly worse than Panda Express, at 25 bucks when taking into account tip. The drinking water tasted tainted. The rice was not fresh. The chicken was clearly twice cooked and was both over cooked, and under seasoned. It had plenty of sauce and it had a decent crust, but the sauce did not have enough salt and the meat was dry.
