Yen Ching Restaurant

My husband and I used to bring our kids here a lot. We hadn't been here in years, so we decided to have dinner here tonight. It is a quaint little place in an unassuming building. Inside, there is a warm environment. It comes across as a family owned restaurant.

I wish the food was as good as the service. The fried rice was flavorless. The orange chicken was dry. The servers were sweet and accommodating, so I wish I could give them more stars. I just can't do it. This place is just okay.

Dave and his staff are always so prompt and friendly. Food is delicious with its generous menu options. The drinks are pretty well made along with courtesy hot tea brought to the table. This has always been our go to restaurant!

Nice ambiance inside. My daughter took me here for lunch. They brought hot tea to the table which was a nice surprise. We had their lunch special which included soup. The soup was good and hot but if you want some crunchy noodles for your soup it’s $1.50 a bowl, then they bring the appetizer plate which was a very good cheese puff and fried chicken drumette with a teriyaki sauce. Sadly these were cold. Deep fried food served cold is never a good thing. Our lunch special choices were lemon chicken and almond chicken. The lemon chicken was the worst I’ve ever had. The lemon chicken was served with a red sauce and the thick deep fried chicken breast was tasteless. Specials are served with brown rice, you are not offered a choice of white rice. We also added an egg roll to our orders. They were good and large. Service was good.

Enjoyed a great meal, with a great quiet, quality environment. Prompt service. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Decor is dated.

I love a good Chinese restaurant. Wishing I could give this an extra star on the rating !! Lets start off with an Egg Roll that was plentiful with the minced pork and fried to perfection. Hot Mustard wasn't overpowering and texture was creamy. I can't go without Hot & Sour Soup either. Serving was for 2 bowls but we filled twice. Great savory flavor with Chicken, Shrimp and other goodies. My entree was Szechuan Chicken. A spicy dish that was offered with 5 levels of "heat". Being a 1st timer, I went with #3 (medium ) I'll try to remember to go with #4 on my next visit. But that may be too much because the flavor of the meal was superb. I couldn't ask for anything more !!
