Uncle Chen Restaurant

Great service and food

The best place to go friendly service, very good food, fast and convenient service.

Very good food and service!!!

I enjoy this place. It's a classic old school Chinese restaurant with great service, well prepared entrees and a delicious lunch buffet weekdays. Family run, and with a low turnover support staff, this is an ideal place for a casual lunch or dinner.

Great Chinese food at a good price. Large selection, helpfull staff. Warm atmosphere with plenty of seating. I've been there twice with my family and everyone was satisfied. It's just off the 101 freeway in Carpinteria. It's a welcome option to McDonald's and IHOP. I'll be telling g my friends to eat there.

Ya one worker there is so nice and that's brian love him like a brother

Good typical standard American Chinese food. Good selection of $8.99 luncheon specials. Didn't get any OMG's, or WOW'S

Loved vegan options

Very large delicious portions, very friendly staff. Brush fires and mudslides haven't slowed down the great food and great service at Uncle Chen's.

Excellent service, food was fresh, great ambiance!

Last week my friends and I went to check out the buffet, OMG I never seen pathetic buffet I never experienced, maybe individual dish might be better than what I had for buffet :( yack

This place is so great. I go here when I want to eat a lot of really amazing food. The atmosphere is calm and tranquil with some classic Chinese music playing. The complementary fried won tons they serve are delicious. The egg rolls have crispy outsides and a juicy, moist interior. The beef stick kebabs are sweet and tender. The paper wrapped chicken is always the star of my order. The beef broccoli is always perfectly seasoned and cooked. The broccoli in it is still crisp and fresh. The chow mien has a perfect consistency and a very nice flavor. Even the steamed rice is pretty good. Tsing Tao beer which is served here is light and crisp. Similar to an American light beer but with a little more flavor and less carbonation. This restaurant is really under rated. I think they deserve more business. Keep up the good work!

Their soup is the best

Great food, very authentic plenty of choices even for vegetarians, great staff

Excellent service, good food

Could dine there everyday. Food is always extra delicious so enjoyable and the family is amazingly friendly 😊

I've been to Uncle Chen's several times now and have always had a great experience. Cozy place with a quiet atmosphere allows for pleasurable dinning with the family. Although sometimes every seat is filled, the wait is never long and the staff are delightful and friendly. I'm sure the food quality and taste is what keeps the seats filled as every bite is delicious with an abundance of asian flavor. This is a must, at least once, you will thank me....and Uncle Chen!

The food is outstanding! The soups and family dinner is more food than you can eat. For all this food the prices are amazing. They were very accommodating with my vegan and with the kids requests as well.

Good buffet and good service.

Amazing family style food, pot stickers were on point, service was good

Food was very good and the place was clean.

Great vegetarian and gluten-free options. They even have gluten-free soy sauce!

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent prices. Clean and comfortable atmosphere. They are welcoming and accommodating. We love Uncle Chen.

I always get the sweet and sour chicken lunch special, and I've never had a bad experience here. The staff are extremely friendly, the food is good, and the price feels just right.

Great food and service. We ordered the egg rolls, shrimp fried rice and chicken with vegetables, love everything

Nice restaurant,dine in/carryout with delicious food and the proprietor,Rob Lee and many are very nice. Many long-term customers.

Unbelievable authentic Chinese food. We always stop by on the way from LA to Santa Barbara.

Best Chinese food in carpinteria

The food is very delicious, and the waiters and restaurant owner are very friendly.

The food is good and the service is excellent!

Uncle Chen is the best! I love the whole family, Simon and Marcos are some of my favorite! Great food, the chicken in the hot garlic sauce is to die for! Love you guys!!

Uncle Chen's never disappoints.

As a local, I should eat here more than I do. The food is always better than I expect it to be. The pricing is fair for quantity and quality. The service is always cheerful and efficient.

Family owned and worked. Made special requested food for me (vegetarian chicken dish). Surprised with Birthday green tea icecream!

Friendly staff, good prices. Best authentic chinese food in sb county..

We loved the food my husband said the Ku Pau Chicken was the best. We got mixed msg about this restaurant when in doubt try the place, our experience was great. We enjoyed the food tremendously and Roy was very helpful.

Nice

It was great. Loved the food very good.

Just ordered a delivery and it was a total anti climax. Would of rather made myseld a baloney sandwich and saved $50. Didnt finish the meal which was egg foo young which was like two pieces of cardboard. Awful, never again, i have just wasted $50 on something i got no enjoyment out of whatsoever and I regret spending the money which accentuates the bad aftertaste of the burnt oil and queasy stomach.

Very tasty food. Very light, didn't have the stereotypical thick heavy sauces that many Chinese restaurants have. Got the wor wonton soup, Szechuan beef and Rincon fried rice.

This Chinese Restaurant is located in Casitas Plaza in Carpinteria, Ca. Its run by Roy and his family. The staff takes customer service to a whole other level! WOW, the service is phenomenal!! As I have stated before, I have food allergies and they catered to all of them. The water classes were made of heavy duty glass and were super large, yesterday was super HOT! They didn't hover, but were always there when you needed them. The food is quite good! The value for your money is superb. They are friendly, courteous and go all the extra miles. If anyone remembers Wings Chinese restaurant in SB, Uncle Chen's is shades of Wings. Excellent!

Been coming her since before my daughter was born. She is 19 now. It has always been my favorite. Great food get Service family owned and operated. Always a great meal with friendly staff!

LOVE this place it's just around corner from my house close to freeway come off at Casitas pass Rd turn left they have agreat buffet great food it's hard to recommend what to eat because everything on the menu is good

Best food in town! The service there is excellent and the staff is very friendly. They take their time to get to know you and always willing to talk to you.

Was a interesting crossover between Mexican food on some days and Chinese on the other. We received fried won-tons as an appetizer which was good with the included sweet and sour sauce and mustard. I ordered the house chow-mein and it was very good and was served hot. Overall a good experience for the food in the area.

Uncle Chens to the family rescue with delivery ! Yummy always and vegan friendly . Just tried the three cup basil chicken and they made a special vegan ginger tofu soup loaded with veggies for my vegan peeps . Delicious and feeling good ! Thank you Uncle Chens !

In carpinteria off casitas pass best ever Chinese restaurant Worth the drive from Santa Barbara or Goleta even from Ventura any body that likes Chinese will love Uncle chen they have our favorite table set up by the time we get in I have a disabled person I have to get out of the van. .........
