I love this place. Yes it is a little greasy, but the service is awesome. And the owner is very nice and funny. And the food rocks.

Service was good but the food was horrible. The shrimp fried rice was a large portion it was mainly rice they skimped out on the rest of the ingredients. The shrimp was what you put in salads and there were only 6pcs. It was over priced I would’ve been happier at Panda Express.

I love Chan’s. I’ve lived in SF for the past 10 years but having been born and raised in Humboldt County, I grew up eating at Chan’s. Yeah, it’s not the most authentic Chinese food I’ve eaten but it’s damn good and I can’t find anything close to it in the Bay Area. My family usually gets takeout(family dinner for four) plus a couple of orders of the cream cheese puffs. Their sweet and sour sauce is my personal favorite because it’s more sour than sweet and isn’t a frighteningly DayGlo shade of red. Plus, the owners are super nice.

When I want Chinese Veggies fixed traditionally(at least from my 70 years experience) I go here. I have a well rounded palate but prefer ‘old style’ Cantonese food to the no bean sprouts era we are going through. Service is good, prices are reasonable, food has been beyond any complaints. My favorite might possibly be the House Special Chow Mein. Vegetables are crisp and well seasoned. Sauce has a mesmerizing sweetness. Noodles are midway between soft and crispy and nothing is greasy here. Bless the owner! He let me sign the tab for my meal when I discovered I had left the wallet at home. Granted I eat here at least once a month. And yes, the parking lot is mainly empty except for 7pm Sunday, graduation weekend at HSU.

For 20+ years this restaurant has endured bad reviews from the locals because it is greasy and nobody ever goes here. The parking lot is always empty, and this has been going on for-evar! I drove by today, after being away for a decade and was simply amazed that it still exists…

It is the only restaurant I have ever walked out on. Service was polite, but the food was horrendous. My friend and I took one bite, threw some money on the table and left. Unless the food has radically improved from a year ago avoid this place. Or at least don’t order the won-ton soup.

Gotta counter the bad review and get this place more business. Their lo mein is incredibly good, albeit greasy. The guy and his wife who own the place are super friendly people, and remember us every time we come in, which is only about once every year or two. Given, this place isn’t in the best location in Arcata, but I’d highly recommend trying it out… This is Canontese Chinese food, whereas what you’re used to is Mandarin Chinese food.

I’ve only eaten at Chan’s once, and it was with fellow adventurous eater, Jon S. Thank god we both have tolerant palates and low expectations… Jon: «The House Chicken sounds good.» Ben:“OK. Let’s order it.“ A few minutes later: «Here is your House Chicken.» Jon & Ben: «Thank — what the hell!!?» (a plate of fried chicken with brown gravy poured on top sits in front of us.) I was so utterly shocked by the context of this dish that I’ve completely forgotten what else I’d ordered there.
