Amazing
The food comes in very large quantities for a very good price. This is my favorite Chinese fast food place and trust me, I have tried many. I practically only order from here. The place could use remodeling but it does seem like a friendly little store. They also have lots of drinks which I can't find near my area. The workers were friendly and helpful, although they may be stern.

Best Chinese on Columbia Pike
I have eaten at Mrs. Chens too many times to count, and each time I am satisfied. They have enormous portions to go along with incredibly affordable prices. I can eat 2 or 3 meals with one order, and it's always quality food. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting good Chinese food at a low price.

Disappointing
I eat quite a bit of Chinese food and normally make it myself. Was too tired to cook tonight so I thought I would try Mrs. Chen's. I ordered hot and sour soup but they didn't have any soup at all?!? I then tried to order the fish balls which they were out of as well. I settled for vegi dumplings. They looked like dumplings but had zero flavor. The sauce tasted like soy sauce and vinegar. I also ordered chicken and tofu. The tofu was sour, a clear indication that it had gone bad. The brocoli was pitiful looking. The one dish that was edible was the curry chicken. Generally I don't expect a lot from American style Chinese food but Mrs. Chen's was a real disappointment. I will never order from there again. I don't understand why is it so hard to get decent Chinese food in Arlington.

Meat is not vegan
Ordered two vegetarian dishes last night, specified "no meat" "no egg"--got both in both dishes. Will not order from here again. I would imagine the food is good, if Mrs Chen and her staff actually filled the food orders specified.

Good for take out
Well cannot expect a five star food from a place selling so cheap..so food is worth its money..good reasonable and large qty..orange chicken comes with rice and tastes good. I ordered combo rice which was ok and was real large portion.Bt place needs remodelling...better to take a take out..area also is shady..

best delivery deal in town
food is always great and the large portions are large. Since I got my first delivery from here this is the only place I call.

Not bad, needs improvement
The food is good, but the place needs work. There's no low-sodium soy sauce option and beverages are limited. ALso, no ice machine. The food can be greasy, and the staff isn't always very nice.
