Menu Highlights
General Tso’s Chicken
Crispy chicken pieces are coated in a sweet, savoury, and gently spicy Hunan-style sauce. It is one of China Chen’s most frequently praised and recognisable signature dishes.
Golden Sesame Chicken
Fried chicken is tossed in a glossy brown sauce and finished with sesame seeds for a sweet, nutty flavour. Crisp edges and tender meat make it an enduring customer favourite.
Chicken Lo Mein
Soft noodles are stir-fried with chicken and savoury seasonings for a comforting, filling meal. Its mild flavour and satisfying texture make it especially popular for takeout.
Roast Pork or Chicken Egg Foo Young
Fluffy Chinese-style egg patties are cooked with savoury meat and served with rich gravy. The combination of tender eggs and hearty sauce makes it one of the restaurant’s frequently listed favourites.
Double Cooked Sliced Pork
Sliced pork is cooked with vegetables and bold seasonings for a savoury dish with deeper wok-fried flavour. Its rich sauce and contrasting textures make it a standout choice for pork lovers.
Happy Family
Lobster, shrimp, scallops, chicken, pork, and beef are combined with Chinese vegetables in a savoury sauce. The variety of seafood and meats makes this chef’s specialty ideal for diners wanting a generous mixed entrée.
General Tso’s Bean Curd
Tofu takes on a crisp exterior and tender centre beneath a spicy-sweet General Tso-style sauce. It stands out as one of the menu’s most flavourful dedicated meat-free entrées.
