House of Chen is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. It's near the UO dorm complexes, and is reasonably priced for a huge amount of food. It's possible to feed 6 people for less than $15 and still have food left over. Favorites are the family size hot-n-sour soup (the stuff comes in BUCKETS), pork fried rice (lots of veggies, just enough pork for flavor), and Mongolian beef (perfect blend of ginger and onions). Not-so-favorites: sauteed Happy Family (ya gotta wonder what's under all that oyster sauce!), seafood of any kind (tends to be very salty), General Tso's chicken (odd off taste every time I've been there and someone with me orders it -- I've learned not to try) Good fortune cookies -- they get the ones that can have BAD fortunes as well as the usual cryptic epigrams. It's fun to get "You will be hit by a car." as a fortune, especially if you have to navigate Franklin Ave late at night!
