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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
