House of Chen Restaurant
4.0
You gotta love a Chinese restaurant that embraces the cliché: Tanks with those orange and white googly-eyed fish. Paper lanterns. A strict black, gold and red color scheme. That’s House of Chen, a modest eatery situated in downtown Allentown. The idea of a bathroom where you have to be buzzed in might turn you off, as could the faint smell of stale beer that hits you as you enter. But then you hit the buffet: crispy fried sweet and sour pork, chicken with broccoli and snap peas — and the vegetables aren’t soggy. Who can complain? There’s cheap beer too.

"Great Grease"

Can't beat a greasy chinese buffet for $4.25. The food was delish and the decor is the best--chintzy paper dragons and beaded curtains are all the...

Good. Cheap. Chinese. A great lunch escape if you work in downtown Allentown.

It's a $4.25 for an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet that is actually good. I super duper heart House of Chen, especially a day before payday.
