Tiny bungalow eatery with a drive-thru serving basic Chinese stir-fries & a few Thai dishes.
The staff was polite. A full order of pepper shrimp includes 7 shrimp and the rest vegetables. honestly that serving could have been inside a smaller container.
Food was okay. Sesame looked and tasted like something else. We won't be back ever. Panda express is a better option.
Good food but if you are looking for authentic Oriental food this is not the place.
We ordered orange chicken and jalepeno chicken both with friend rice and two veggie egg rolls. Jalepeno chicken was very good 5β for that. Orange chicken and egg rolls were definitely frozen stuff I could have probably bought at the store and made myself 1β. Fried rice was ok but no eggs or veggies what kind of fried rice doesn't have eggs and veggies 3β
Would still rather eat here and support a small business than a big chain
Great little spot for fresh Chinese-Thai fusion dishes!
Skip P. F. Chang's and support local restaurants!
Everything is made to order, the restaurant was very clean and cozy, and the employees are absolute sweethearts!
Small, and inconspicuous, this place really knows how to make flavorful and filling dishes and the table service was fantastic!
Highly recommend this cozy restaurant and definitely give major kudos to the amazing cooks and servers!
I have been a faithful customer since 2020. Food was amazing but within the last couple of times of ordering the food has gone down hill. There was a male cook back then and now I haven't seen him. Also a female person that took orders. Everything was amazing!!! Now, a woman is cooking and order taker is a young guy. A week ago I told my boyfriend that uncle Chien's was the best place. Made me ashamed for getting food there!!!! Missing part of the order and one of the items was the wrong food!!! Never had that happen before. Ordered again last night and flavor isn't there!!! I always eat all my rice when doing combo fried rice and I left 3/4 of it!!! Time to find a new place!!!!
Hot and sour soup and egg drop soup was delicious !
This is not Chinese food, horrible
Food is awesome and service is fantastic! Highly recommend!
Pretty good for a good price
Absolute best meal I've had in a while!! Staff was so kind!
Food not bad for the price.
Average chinese food. Egg rolls are decent.
first time there staff was friendly and courtesy had spicy beef with cashews my son had beef and fried rice everyone should give it a try
Been going here for at least 15 years maybe more. This place, people, and the food can't be beat...
Always great food. Cooked to order. These folks are really friendly and offer quick service. The quality of their food is excellent.
Good lunch
Amazing food
Food is good but price a little high for the portions. Convenient if your needing your fix.

Great food, excellent service, but located in a very small older building. Donβt let that stop you from ordering to go. Seriously delicious Chinese and Thai food!
Workers are very kind, make sure you have what you need, and food is great. Wonderful customer service and food.
Excellent restaurant! We got the 2 meat fried rice and the chicken noodles, they are both SO GOOD! The service is excellent, the price is so reasonable for the amount and quality of food, and overall this is my new favorite restaurant. 10/10! Thank you!
Best Chinese food in the city!!
Uncle Chien s Chinese and Thai restaurant es un local relativamente muy pequeΓ±o, su comida es de primera su sazon es unica , por muchos aΓ±os he venido aqui y su comida es exquisita ,todavia mantienen su secreto y su buen sabor,todo suave y fresco ,volvere siempre por mas.
Only had the beef and shrimp rice. I would order that again. Have not tried anything else, imagine it's all good. Give the place a try!
No dine in sad
Food is really good taste all the seasoningsπ₯ and great people
Delicious food made fresh. Crispy dumplings and spring rolls. The Hunan chicken or shrimp is spicy, saucy, and and full of veggies. My kids love the Lemon Chicken and my dad loves the combo fried rice. The restaurant is tiny but they have a drive through and delivery! So. Good.
Val and Ronnie are the best
The food wasn't anything to die for however, the service was exceptional and felt very welcoming. Definitely going again to this smaller restaurant.
The register lady was very friendly answered any questions we had about the entrees. The speed of service was excellent we only waited about 10 minutes. The portions were good, it would be nice if all the entrees included rice or soup because it's a separate charge for each like an a la carte. I had pepper chicken the downside was it was mostly broccoli and not much chicken but the flavor was really good! Husband had chicken lo mein I thought it had to much of a sweetness to it, I like a lo mein with the flavor of sesame oil tossed in the wok with the noodles. The fried rice didn't have any veggies or egg in it like most fried rice does at other restaurants. The dining area is small could use some revamping maybe add some Chinese Tai decor it's more like a carryout style I must say it was clean and the food smell was delicious! Overall it was good and I'd eat there again.

Great food everytime!!! Been coming here for years and have always been happy
The place is not much to look at, but the food was very good. The service was prompt and polite. Nice fresh vegetables and good sauces.
Fresh food great service highly recommend
dinner for one was dinner for two!
Always great food and service!
Lady at the drive thru was very rude
I placed an order for delivery and the food was amazing. I tried the lo mein noodles and it was good and the chicken and vegetables tasted fresh and not cheap. We also had the fried rice and it was good as well!
The staff was friendly and the delivery was across town but it still got to me quick.
1st time here today. My daughter n I loved it! Customer service was excellent!
There is so much food for a decent price.
Hot and sour soup extra spicy just the way we like. Chicken lo mein had tons of flavor.
They have the friendliest service and the best fresh hot food made to order, and they make it fast, you may only wait like 10 minute's maybe 15, if even and the prices are great for all the food you get, I think everyone should try them
Worst Chinese food I've ever had took them over 1 hour and 45 minutes to deliver while they're under 5 miles from me to get a wrong meal and find them closed when I called to let them know
The staff was polite. A full order of pepper shrimp includes 7 shrimp and the rest vegetables. honestly that serving could have been inside a smaller container.
Food was okay. Sesame looked and tasted like something else. We won't be back ever. Panda express is a better option.
Great food ,a hidden gem for sure
The first place I called hung up on me and was super rude. I called here instead and the lady was so nice! Great customer service. 10/10 would recommend.
Hot & Sour soup was bland if not for the excessive spice - worst H&S soup Iβve ever had. Egg rolls OK, Orange Chicken (their most popular dis) was not good at all - worst Iβve ever had. Fried Rice was fairly tasteless, basically just white rice with a little soy and some meat thrown in, very bland - worst fried rice Iβve ever had. The food here was simply terrible when compared to a place like Panda Express.
I travel a lot so I've tried alot Chinese and Thai places and overall the food is good but the eggs aren't all the way cooked they didn't clean out the shrimp and I believe that's it The onions are caramelized the rice's oddly amazing has a lot of flavor with no soy sauce needed The beef is cooked perfect and the shrimp was not cooked all the way and the price is ridiculously high.
Great Quality Food.
I used to visit this place when I was working on my bachelor's years ago. The place has changed owners since then and the service is not what it used to be but the food is still super delicious and it's the best Curry that I found in all of Lubbock.
I hadnβt ordered from here for awhile because itβs a bit far from me. Ordered carry out lunch today and was reminded of why I need to do it more often! Delicious!
πππ
Fast friendly service. Quality of the food is nothing to write home about but good enough if your hungry. Did forgot my rice on last order. Will probably order from here again.
I love this place! They don't have chicken teriyaki anymore; however, the sauteed chicken is a good substitute. I order by phone and drive right over and my order is ready! I've had them deliver a few times too and that's super convenient. Fast, friendly service and great food! Fantastic combo!
Best Egg Drop Soup in Lubbock! Always fresh and hot! My favorite Chinese restaurant in Lubbock!
Had been a favorite location for more than 30 years. Not as good as it used to be. Fried rice had no vegetables at all in it. Prices are much higher, not as good of quality as in the past. Needs work in that area.
Great place! Hot and sour soup, combo fried rice, egg rolls are great.
Great customer service great understanding people
May GODS peace and blessings be upon yall
this place sucks, the portions are smaller than ants, the food is sad to even look at, it was WAY over priced for the food i got, my favorite part about my meal was the napkin that i got to spit my food into, would not ever consider telling people to go there.
Best in Lubbock! Excellent Shrimp Fried Rice. Wish they had a traditional dessert, new favorite place π
As far as the food it was good but the woman who took my order was extremely HATEFUL TO ME because I took back one that was not what we wanted , she was yelling at me , told me ishe would have to pay for that food , I'm sorry but if it's not what you ordered you should be able to get what you want and I did , thankyou to the cook who was sweet and pleasant but the cashier attendant , do something about angry bird attitude and nasty face !! Hateful people don't count !! Be nice be nice !! Never have gone back oh well . Sr 12/21
This is my go-to for good chinese in Lubbock. Their cheese won-tons are perfect. I also got a beef egg roll, general tso chicken, lo mein noodles, and broccoli beef. All the food was exactly what I wanted. I love that they have half portions so that I can try several menu items when getting take-out. I've heard they also have groupons that makes the price even more reasonable. I didn't feel like it was too expensive when I went, but I am going to try the groupon next time.
Ordered today and food was very cold. Twice the price. Portion size was cut in 1/2 of the 1/2 size plate I ordered. Soup was cold. Quality of food was also very poor. Not sure what is happening over there but I hope they turn it around.
I was really disappointed with this restaurant. The combination lo mein was covered in a very oily sauce I'm not sure I've ever had before, and I think it was the same oil that covered what was supposed to be fried rice. The meat additions according to the menu weren't available. The vegetable egg rolls are really small spring rolls. The pork egg rolls (on the menu as beef) were the best thing we ordered and ate.
I'm only in town temporarily, so they won't be missing my business.
I personally highly recommend this place!! I ordered the Sesame Chicken with the fried rice and it was delicious. I also ordered the fried cheese won tons and they were perfect, nice and crispy and I loved how thin they were. Definitely will be going back!
Always good. Good prices. Fast service.
Convenient to work. Spiciest hot & sour soup in town, crave it. Also, love the Jalepeno Chicken and Kung Pau shrimp and Chicken. Take Out only. Call ahead to order.
Used groupon and saved some on the best meal around. Had the best fried noodles and mustard in town. Very nice and friendly service and am planning on our next order.
I had bought a coupon from Groupon for this place and am so blessed that I did. The food was served so fresh and hot. I absolutely loved my Hawaiian chicken plate and my parents loved their Taos chicken while my grandmother loved her broccoli beef. The fried rice was fabulous and all the veggies so crisp and fresh. I will definitely go back. Thank you for the great food and service.
Fabulous
It's still take out but very delicious! It's fresh, and plenty to eat.
Love this place..Awesome Staff & Great food
I love to get the padThai Very fresh ingredients and good thank you.
I came here on May 14, 2021 and this place is nothing special. Their food is fine but I would say it isnβt really worth the money. I spent nearly $19 and the food is ok. The chicken still had cartilage on it and definitely was not worth $9 with it being soggy. The won ton soup is extremely salty and I could barely drink it. The only good part was their fried rice. I more than likely wonβt be back here with the prices vs the actual quality of the food. Also the drive thru leading to a back alley way that could be hard for some drivers to get out of.
Today is April 30, 2021 & I have NEVER eaten at this restaurant before. I am an older disabled person, although I am disabled I can still understand & communicate really well. Today I called this restaurant, at approx 5:15pm & a guy answered by the name of Oscar. When he answered, I asked him if they did delivery & he told me that they did. I explained to him that I am disabled & I have NEVER ordered from them before & I told him that I would need his help to place an order. His response & reply was that he refused to help me. As soon as he found out that I'd need help he started being rude speaking to me badly & when I told him that I am disabled he straight out told me that he would not help me at all & he told me to go to another restaurant because he is refusing to help me at all. He treated me like this even tho I very respectfully requested his help & was not rude to him. He spoke to me in a very rude way from the moment I asked for help from him & as soon as I told him that I was disabled he started yelling into the phone, at me. So I hung up on him & immediately left this review. This is terrible service & I'll never taste their food because behavior like this makes me gladly want to find another place to pay, to service me. He was rude, uncaring & mean & truly bad person & since they act like this it makes me wonder what actually is in their food any way Total Discusting
My top place to eat in Lubbock. I have been coming here since I was 17 and I have never had a bad experience.
I love Uncle Chien's, I've been eating there for years! They have the best food! The employees are so friendly and helpful!
I really wanted to like this place. I got the Hawaiian chicken, came home and it was so soggy. It was sort of like general Tso but with a sweet sauce.
Another dish we got was Mongolian beef. The beef was so chewy I could not eat it. The egg roll and egg drop soup were the only edible items.
Eat here, it's a Lubbock must!!
Very good
I ordered the Cashew chicken and it was awful
and veggies taste like they came from a can.
I don't recommend this place go somewhere else!!
Best Chinese in Lubbock, egg drop soup is delicious, always fresh & staff is super nice & genuinely care
Amazing service and great food. Our order is always fresh and made to order.!!
Lowkey yet deliciously good..
Really good food! Glad we found this restaurant. We had tried panda express and did not like that at all. We have been searching since we moved to Texas for a good Chinese restaurant and on a whim tried Uncle Chien's. We are very happy we did! Thank you for the great food!
The food is excellent here, and they offer delivery, everyone that works here is very nice, please give them a try you won't regret it
tasty, friendly, quick service...
Love it..
Friendly service. Great food
The best Chinese food in town!!! Love their food!!
Kung Pau chicken was very oily, they went overboard with the oil and the fried rice well was not fried rice it had no egg or vegetables in it ... I would eat there again but I would tell them to go easy on the oil and I would ask for proper fried rice ...
The place is a dive, but the food is great and the prices are unbeatable.
Not good
best Chinese food for 7,348 miles:)
When I got home and opened container the broth was black! I ordered chicken noodle soup. There was a jelly like clump on top. Tasted like soy sauce water. Will not return.
Not up to it's usual quality. Food was luke warm. Wonton soup was super hot but had a funny taste. Chicken seemed different too. Just wasn't impressed
Deli8
GREAT FOOD AWESOME SERVICE
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACEβ€
I might give them more stars if they'd answer the phone to take my order!π‘π‘π‘π‘
My sister love's uncle chien's noodles so I brought her dinner.
Great service and it was just a drive thru order! The jalapeno chicken with lo mein is the bomb and the shrimp in the combination fried rice was very good too
Great food, good prices with big portions!
I am not sure what the people were thinking when they posted β wonderful place β my guess is they do not know what Chinese Food should taste like. If you want AWFUL!!! Chinese food then definitely eat at this restaurant, especially if you want water soaked chicken, tasteless Lo- main , burn egg rolls. . Kristi
This was the worst Thai food Iβve ever had in my life, and Iβve eaten Thai food all over the world for several years. The curry was horrible. It was not even a sauce. It was only curry powder and way too much. The restaurant first messed up my order with putting meat in it when I am a vegetarian and then once I drove all the way back there to get the right order, I could not even eat more than three bites of it because it was so disgusting. The Chinese food may be okay and maybe the Pad Thai, but I will never order from here again and would not recommend it to anyone. I donβt think more than one Asian person even works there. It is not authentic at all.
The food is good, but it loses it's appeal when it's drowning in oil. I would say there was about an 1/8th of an inch of oil. Yuck! This is not the first time, my food has been greasy. I'll have to think about returning or not. If you like your food swimming in oil go for it.
Decided to try this place for the first time, keeping local alive. Portions were really small. Only three bits of beef, on my beef and broccoli. And there was hair cooked into a piece of chicken on my sweet and sour chicken. Tried to call them, they already closed. Saved food to take back next day, for a refund. They refused the refund. But said they will remake the food. I don't want their food. I just want my money.
I strongly advise that if you're thinking about about eating here, think about their policy on refunds and customer service. I hate to do this amid everything that's going on. But if it can save someone else from wasting money, it'll be worth it.
One star is an overstatement for the food we were delivered. We ordered orange chicken (that looked like my dogs wet food with a very unappetizing yellow colorπ€’), chicken teriyaki (that appeared undercooked), chicken chow mein (had about three noodles in the entire box and an OVERWHELMING amount of white cabbage), and cheese Rangoonβs. Every portion was extremely small and they even tried to make it look larger by placing tortilla chips in under the cheese ragoons... thoroughly disappointed with the service given here over the phone and with the food we received. Will never order from this establishment again and will never recommend this place to anyone.
Incredible food and incredible service. Iβm going to miss this place when I move away :(
Bang for the buck They have a Groupon
Good food but if you are looking for authentic Oriental food this is not the place.
We ordered orange chicken and jalepeno chicken both with friend rice and two veggie egg rolls. Jalepeno chicken was very good 5β for that. Orange chicken and egg rolls were definitely frozen stuff I could have probably bought at the store and made myself 1β. Fried rice was ok but no eggs or veggies what kind of fried rice doesn't have eggs and veggies 3β
Would still rather eat here and support a small business than a big chain
Great food! Found them on Groupon
It was all good until the big girl cooking Sneezed!!! All I could think about was her sneezing on the food!π€’
The main dish was really good. Did not care for the fried rice they give with the main dish ... your better off ordering the white rice ... but I still give 5 stars cuz they had good service... fried rice 1 star though .
Great local business. Fantastic Chinese food.
Love it when Raymond's cook my combination fried rice really good & delicious all the time π―% π
Yuck
1/31/2020 7:13PM-7:57pm
Food is amazing.π₯° Staff was friendly and helpful about questions and knowledgeable. πLobby was very clean. π No public restroom and small eat in area. Food is very fresh. Total gem place for Thai food. Worth visiting even for appetizers.π If placing to go orders their canned sodas are a $1.00, if dining in to get fountain drinks.
Wonton Soup was not edible, because it was way too salty. My friend dinner had a hair in it, and it wasn't his or mine.
My first time there and it was BOMB ,
The lady with the glasses ( sorry I didnt catch her name , was super friendly and patient, steamed dumpling and rice noodles were so amazing ...not greasy, not cold ... it was amazing
Always good
We ordered three different entrees. Only one of them was edible. The Mongolian beef was rediculously salty. The Black pepper chicken had an odd color. It looked gray and unappetizing.
The portions were smaller than I expected. The price however, was less than other Asian takeouts.
We won't be coming back.
Tasty!!! My go to Asian place to eat! Beef and broccoli oh my!!!
Not as good as I remembered it. I used to live nearby and ate there regularly but it seems different now. Wondering if it has changed ownership. Been a long time.
Uncle Chen's has a great deal for little money Luv the egg rolls and orange chicken
Loved it and she remembers my order
Love the rice and egg rolls!
