“ David Chens has become a mainstay in the area. It's been around for over 30 years and it's some of the best Chinese in the area. Food is great. Service is quick if not a bit curmudgeonly and it has a great ambience. They should clean the fish tanks though! Try the pork and shrimp dumplings! ”
“ I have been going to David Chen for many years. Followed him from days in his White Plains restaurant. I don’t go anywhere else for Chinese food. I’ve had many birthday and other celebrations over the years there with friends and it was always a great time. The food is always delicious, but most of all David is very friendly makes you feel like family. Always appreciates your business and he built that business and following up to the great restaurant it is and still continues after all these years. Really a great place and staff is very good too. Love it! ”
“ David Chen’s is a staple for American-Chinese food. Always fast and friendly service — free tea and fried chips. Extremely large menu selection with reasonable prices. Great lunch special too. ”
“ Update: Well, seems a different chef from years ago when i didn't enjoy the food. As an Asian descent, I know good Asian food. I am really so hungry and have no time to go to my go to Chinese place so I ventured back to David Chen to give it a try. I am glad I did. Their beef chow mei fun is spot on. And for Armonk, price is reasonable. Humongous serving size too plus soup included. Important to mention , it's not swimming in oil . Highly recommended. Previous post- 5 star for overall experience. I ordered my favorite chicken pan fried noodle and though taste isn't exactly I was used to , I enjoyed it a lot. Also, the size was humongous. Price was very reasonable. I was served tea with the biggest tea pitcher and ambiance was nice... like the traditional Chinese restaurant with big chandelier. Both owner and staff were very nice. Highly recommended. ”
“ Delicious Cantonese fair at this Armonk eatery. Everything was excellent, we had vegetarian hot & sour soup, vegetable lo mein and shrimp egg foo young. The egg foo young was packed with shrimp and light and fluffy, not greasy at all. A definite go back to try other menu items. Friendly service, plenty of parking. ”
“ Best Chinese Food in Westchester County, no contest. As a NYC native and recent suburban transplant, this restaurant is hallowed ground. Their Chicken and Broccoli is among the best I’ve ever had in NY State. ”
“ Such a nice dining experience. The facade of the restaurant is iconic. We were greeted by David and his team, who were very welcoming and attentive. They served us promptly. The decor inside gives an authentic feel. The menu is extensive, but not overbearing. The food was delicious. I had the Udon noodles which were awesome. Their lunch special between 11am and 3pm is worth the trip. Reasonable prices. A defenite weekly dinner or lunch outing. ”
“ What can I say David Chen is my favorite restaurant of all time! My mother and father pushed me in that place in a stroller 35 years ago and We’ve been loyal since.. The most delicious food and awesome service. Thank you, David for keeping the place up and running all these years. It will forever be my go to. ”
