Wow!!!! Best Chinese that I've had in Charlotte in the 10 years I've lived here. Cozy old school dining area and the sweetest service! The lady serving and working the counter was an angel! She said the restaurant has been open for 32 years and she's worked there for 25! I can see why. Eggrolls, house fried rice, general chun's chicken. All absolutely amazing! And the best egg drop soup I've had in my life! I am now a customer for life. Thank you guys!

Visiting Charlotte for work and wanted some decent Chinese food. I was pleasantly surprised and got some very good food. The brown sauce they use for the egg foo yung was very good. I enjoyed my meal so much I went back the next day for lunch.

I have been going to Chen Fu’s for the past 12 years. I used to live nearby and get it often. Now I live 45 minutes away but hands down this is my favorite Chinese food. It’s worth the drive. Their sauce and flavor sets them apart from any other Chinese food restaurant. The owners will remember you and are super kind. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I had to find some Chinese food spots in my time in Charlotte, NC. Came in to Chen-fu and was taking back to old days of Chinese spots in NYC. I ordered the chicken and broccoli, orange chicken, fried wonton, egg rolls, and white rice. The staff was very friendly, helpful (Summer) (Soyna), and the cook (Tony) they had mentioned to me the food was similar to Ny style and I have to say that they are correct maybe even better then NYC just love how it was not too greasy and was still fresh after a night in the fridge. Thank you. I will definitely come again to here.

I haven’t ordered Chinese food since moving to Charlotte but decided to try Chen Fu last night. This is hands down the best place. The flavors and freshness of the ingredients left me speechless. Their prices are great, portion sizes very generous. The customer service was amazing! Go support them. They’ve been in business over 32 in the same spot. Go order your food now!

I’ve been going to this restaurant for 15 years. The wife and husband have excellent customer service and hospitality. They’ve seen me grow up as well as my children. You can tell they have a steady clientele because they always greet their customers with a personalized greeting. The sesame chicken is absolutely the best. I drive 45 minutes plus to get their food now because I live so far away. It’s totally worth it. The best Chinese food you will ever have on your life!

First time customer and, wow, I will be back! Even though I ordered delivery, every single thing arrived still hot, perfectly fresh and crispy, and the flavors were phenomenal! The portions were large and food was well-priced. We’re eating leftovers 24 hours later and even the leftovers are incredible. We had: General Chen’s Chicken, egg and spring rolls, fried dumplings, and wontons. I would (and will) order every one of those items again!

My father found this hidden gem over 20 years ago! We haven’t been in this place in years and decided to pay a visit to our favorite childhood restaurant. Once we took our first bite, we could not believe after so many years this place had the same great taste and flavors! Chicken fried rice and chicken lo mein are my absolute favorite. Rice is fluffy and loose. Chicken is flavorful and always made fresh. The chicken wings are a 10 out of 10 crispy outside, juicy and tender inside. Put some of their tasty duck sauce on top and you can easily go through a dozen. The broccoli and beef are also a must! This place is absolute best in Chinese food in Charlotte! Family owned restaurant providing outstanding service and fresh food! There’s a reason why they have been here for over 20 years! This place is perfect for a night out with the family or pick up on a Friday night!!
