Chen's Garden Restaurant

"The best steamed pork dumplings in the world can be found here!"

"My wife loves fried crabs and we have tried them at many places but Chen's Garden is absolutely the best place we have discovered for fried crabs. They are very consistent and put out delicious fried crabs with a nice thick breading every time. Besides being delicious the crabs are also reasonably priced. Chen's is your typical Chinese takeout restaurant located in Liberty Plaza shopping center in SoNo. There is no dining room so this is strictly a takeout restaurant. Besides the typical Chinese menu items there a few American food items as well (chicken wings, french fries, onion rings, fried fish, chicken gizzards, beef liver, etc...) They also have fresh fish made to order. Everything I've tried has been fresh hot and delicious but what separates Chen's from other Chinese takeout restaurants is their awesome fried crabs. Chen's Garden is a popular spot in the neighborhood so they can get pretty busy at times. The common parking lot shared with the other businesses in the shopping center is not very big and can get pretty crowded at times but I've always been able the find a spot to park. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Chen's Garden only takes cash so be prepared for that when you order. If you forget, like I did once, there is an ATM in the nearby laundromat."

"The gizzards and wings were very good! Seasoned just right and the price was right! However, the customer service sucked! At first, I went 2 Mak's and that place sucked! Customer service was horrible, the chicken wings were horrible and overpriced! Maskless customers coughing and hacking! I was a first time customer! Horrible 1st Impression!"

"I really like this place for lunch. Good prices, menu had items normally not found in Chinese takeout and they serve you quick."

"Ordered fried crabs and crab rolls. Both of my items were hot and tasted great. The service wasn't the friendliest but they were nice enough. The place itself is small not a lot of eat in traffic. It looks like. Typical take put spot. Kinda over priced compared to other places but I would cone back."
