``Don't bother with this place. My friend and I were there more than a year ago and vowed never to go back. Then just recently I heard people on the L-train talking about the lousy sushi place they'd been to two months ago, and yup, you guessed it, they were talking about Chen's! When they first opened five-plus years ago, they were great; but as we continued to patronize them, the service deteriorated; then finally, their portions became smaller, and the drinks were smaller still...however, their prices continued to increase. Did I mention?...don't bother with this place.''
