"If I could give it 10 stars, I would!! My husband is a vegetarian and I am under strict medical orders to cut my sugars and simple starches. Bistro Chen has a wide selection of tofu offerings, with brown rice available upon request even for their sushi items. Their Dim Sum are the best in the in the Suburbs. We love their Chinese broccoli which they either steam or stir fry according to your preference. It 's always superfresh and cooked to perfection. The stir fried baby bok choy is also highly recommended. Those in the know should order the Ong Choy when it 's available. This is a type of water hyacinth, which sounds exotic but not to be feared. This green vegetable has a flavor somewhere between kale and spinach. Simply stir fried with a kiss garlic is the perfect way to enjoy them. Another 'must have ' veggie item are the Sichuan green beans. The chef deftly uses Sichuan peppercorns in addition to red chilies, garlic and other things to add another dimension of flavor to string beans which are crisp/tender. We are now seriously addicted to them and have ordered this dish every time we go there. Also, their sushi is outstandingly fresh, sized generously and with just the right proportion of rice to fish. Their sushi rolls are creative and fun, but most of all, DELICIOUS!!!! Their waitstaff is friendly, attentive and happy to answer any questions we have regarding availability of certain items. We can 't wait to go back!!!"
