China Chen is a delightful find in San Jose! 🌟 A cozy, family-run eatery, this spot offers a range of delicious Chinese and Vietnamese dishes at incredible prices.

I particularly loved the #10 noodle soup - comforting, filled with perfect pork, and delightful wontons. The crispy fried shrimp wontons are also a must-try!

Fast service and friendly staff made the experience even better. While the noodles have a strong alkaline taste these days, I can't resist their tasty offerings. Just be sure to plan your visit early, as they close sooner than you'd expect!

Can't wait to return. 🍜
