Chen's Kitchen

One of the best kept secrets in Red Oak IA. Large open dining area, absolutely wonderful buffet and dine in options. To go orders are hot and fresh. The crab Rangoon are the best in the city.

I didnt know it was a buffet, we ordered takeout. Upon arriving, greeted by a happy woman ready to serve. Friendly staff that I encountered.

I was surprised with the costs of things, but when I got my food I was hit with a GOOD amount of food. Which is actually nice, because it just means less trips to take out.

I really think the food is good. I'm new to town, from Omaha. I am a critic. I think the food i ordered was fine. I'm not sure what the somewhat recent review was about. Our orange & general tsao chicken, lo & chow mein, rice was good. It was a large portion, which Im relieved.! It was a cost effective stop and Im definitely going to buy like this from them again. They should be supported.! They have good food. They love doing this. And I love their establishment.

I hope they can get renovations done... this could be a much more beautiful place!

Thanks, owners!

We love this place!! The food is excellent, tasty, & packed perfectly! We have done take out & delivery..the people are so nice & when they forgot something in our delivery, they brought it back!!

I'm from out of town, just passing through, and stopped here to get out of the rain. This place is a hidden gem. Hands-down best pork lo mein I've eaten in my entire life. Their crab rangoon was sheer perfection as well. Prices totally reasonable. I don't know anything about the buffet, but their menu items are bomb so I'm sure that's good too. Whoever their chef is knows what's up.

Lovely service and the food is consistently delicious, they absolutely do not deserve the bad wrap

I ordered delivery tonight and I never expected this!!! Servings were reasonable, big, very hot (as in fresh) and good....I was real hungry and i couldn't do half justice what an awesome hidden little secret. Most definitely recommend.

Was driving home from Omaha zoo and everyone wanted a Chinese buffet we called ahead stopped here on way through red oak they had fresh food and very good staff highly recommend this place

Buffet style Chinese/Japanese restaurant with the option to order individual items and/or takeout. The food is good - this is the only Asian place in the area hubby and I will go. Not overly expensive. The dining room is clean, the staff is friendly. The TV set to an Asian channel is fun. Hubby and I watched New Years happen hours before it was here, lol!

We get food for take out all the time. It is delicious, hot, and fresh. The owners are some of the hardest working people we know. My wife and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

I try to eat there once a week. I usually have the shrimp lo mein and egg rolls. The Kung Pao Shrimp is amazing. Everything is absolutely delicious. Try the wonderful Kim Chi! I love having it in the morning with my scrambled eggs. The owners are truly excellent hosts.

Always hot and fresh! Tonight, no buffet. So we ordered from the menu, absolutely didn't disappoint.

Fine dining buffet style. If you haven't visited the north side of the square in Red Oak Iowa, you should. Plenty of choices at a fair price. Hard to go wrong.

The food is so good! The owner is so nice and she’s so sweet. The place is homey too! Will definitely go back!

I love this place. The owner is a wonderful woman and she's alsways so welcoming. The food is amazing. Easily my favorite Chinese restaurant around.

I adore Chen's. I have for more than 10 years. Great family, great food, I sincerely love these folks and what they bring to this little eclectic town. Find what you love to eat, and eat that :) Thank you!!!
