At this Santa Barbara restaurant, service shines brightly, marked by friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. However, the culinary offerings leave much to be desired. Diners often find the food mediocre, with many dishes criticized for blandness, poor presentation, and overcooking. Notably, rice dishes are reported as clumpy, and proteins like chicken and beef have drawn attention for toughness. While some patrons celebrate specific items as delicious, the overall consensus leans towards seeking better Chinese cuisine elsewhere. Despite the reasonable prices, the need for improving flavor and authenticity remains clear for this establishment to truly impress its diners.

What Anonym dislikes about Uncle Chen:
The food here is lacking and tastes a little off ? The folks up front watch you like a hawk which just makes for an acceptable dining experience if you have no expectations for your food . They are however polite if that's the reason you go out to eat ? View all feedback.
The food at this restaurant is incredibly delicious! The host was extremely friendly. I will definitely be returning here again and again. You must come and experience the authentic Chinese cuisine for yourself!
There Thai iced tea is great for a homeweh southern craving genuine sweet tea. It's sweet! The Chow Fun is pretty good, a little better than many others in the area. Not great, but pretty good. You use the thin cut meat pieces you often see on a Mongolian grill. Many vegetables and sprouts, they are just a few quality ingredients of 5 stars. Good mood, decent prices, friendly people.
I ordered Rinocon fried rice. So delicious. Im not able to finish my self.also great coustomer service.
Another hidden gem in our favorite beach destination! The Shrimp Chop Suey was awesome, as was the Chicken Chow Mien and the Beef and Broccoli. We got the full size order of each to go they offer the smaller lunch sizes that include a few more sides if you are looking for a smaller portion. Very fresh, great flavors, not overly spicy, reasonably priced.Look forward to trying the rest of the menu.
I really loved this place. We ordered a big takeout meal with lots of different dishes to try their ma po tofu with pork, Mongolian lamb, beef with snow peas, hot and sour soup, and bbq pork noodles, all of them were very tasty. The servings were large and lasted 3 days for two people. The service here was also amazing, they were kind and patient while I was having trouble deciding what to order, and even brought the food out to our car which she totally didn't have to do! I only wish I knew the pan fried noodles meant the meat and veggies were pan fried but the noodles were actually crispy like deep fried (my bad for not asking first). I will be coming back!
