crispy shrimp,beef sandwiches what else?
Chef Chen is a good Chinese restaurant located in Irvine in a mini mall on Jeffrey and Walnut. (5408 Walnut, near the 99 Ranch). Their top dishes are the 5 spice crispy shrimp and the chinese style beef sandwiches. The braised tofu I expected to be good like the other tofu dishes I had but unfortunately it was too bland. The restaurant in its self has a moderatly warm atmosphere although there are not many children. The bitter melon is a little bit too bitter, but the green beans and meat were delicious. The soup was that we had was a little bit bland and the wontons were nothing special. The hand made potstickers were crunchy and had pork inside. They were delicious. My parents were not satisfied but I still think its the best chinese restaurant in Irvine. Chef Chen is moderately priced!

While I agree with most of what you write Leo, I did find our last trip to Chef Chen disappointing. I used to think they did Sichuan Cuisine with a Taiwanese twist perfectly, but now I'm not so sure. I think we should try some of the other dishes....like lamb and home made noodles and we haven't really sampled the hotpot dishes, but they aren't really great for summer.
