About This Spot

Stepping into Chen's Restaurant LTD in the heart of Watrous, you’re greeted by a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere that feels like a cherished neighborhood gathering spot. The hum of quiet conversations and the occasional clatter from the kitchen set a calming, easygoing pace—one where time slows just enough to savor good company and honest food. It’s a place where the familiarity of small-town warmth meets the comforting aromas of home-cooked Chinese classics.

The space itself offers a modest, lived-in charm, with attentive service that invites you to pause and truly enjoy each moment. Visitors often find themselves relaxed, settling in for generous portions crafted from fresh ingredients, served with a straightforward sincerity that quietly honors tradition. Whether visiting for a midday meal or a casual evening out, the rhythm here feels unhurried but alive with genuine care.

At Chen's, the menu reads less like a list and more like a window into everyday life—meals that bring together simple pleasures, from the satisfying crunch of an egg roll made with care, to hearty plates of fried rice and stir-fries that stretch across the table. It's the kind of place where a juicy burger fits naturally alongside classic Chinese staples, reflecting a blend of tastes and stories as varied as the neighborhood itself.

Many who linger here speak of the portions—comforting in their generosity—and the freshness that anchors each dish, reassuring you that behind every plate is thought and time well spent. The rhythm of the kitchen may occasionally ebb and flow with the pulse of local demand, yet the steady quality and warmth of service remain constants. It’s a humble celebration of food’s ability to bring people together, one generous serving at a time.

Food was excellent and large portions. Not all plates were delivered at the same time, however service was excellent. I highly recommend this establishment.

Debbie Stern 27 Dec 2025

I had ham fried rice, chop suey and lemon chicken. My husband had the ham fried rice, chicken balls and breaded shrimp. It was the daily special and it was $14 each. There was lots of food and we couldn't eat it all so we had it the next day. Great food. I recommend it.

I know this is a Chinese place, but if you like a good burger you need to eat here. For $10 you get a cheese burger and fries. None of those frozen patties, these things are nice and juicy, with exceptional toppings. And get the gravy...you won't be disappointed

This is the best I've tasted in years! We had the Special Chop Suey, Beef & Broccoli, Rice and Chicken Balls. We were four hungry adults and we were all very full and happy when we finished.

Best egg roll I've had anywhere. All the food was very good and huge portions. A bit slow because they were busy but worth the wait. No 'cubed' meat and veggies here - everything was made with real, fresh ingredients. Highly recommend. This is small town Chinese food at its best.

Huge portions, very reasonable prices. We almost left because they didn't have noodle bowls, but so glad we didn't because the food is delicious
