Who says good things can’t come in small packages? Against all odds, this eatery, with its very limited space, can compete against the big boys. Its food, quite simply, is terrific and served in generous portions. We are addicted to the fiery Szechuan beef and shredded pork with string beans. Expand your horizons with the Peking duck, orange tofu, and the spicy Thai eggplant with basil. The kitchen’s repertoire also includes sushi and several Thai noodle and curry dishes. The problem is that Chen’s is almost strictly a carry-out operation, as it offers maybe enough seating for four. So here the drill is to order out and eat in, at home.
