I have been going to King Yen for over 20 years, it is always a wonderful experience and upon leaving I look forward to the next time I go there.Everyone who works there is just as nice as are the owners who provide a personal touch to every visit or when you see them in the Elmwood area.If you have not eaten here, you should and if you have you know exactly what I mean and I know you are like me and will return soon.Thanks to everyone at King Yen for all they do to make it a great experience.

Best pot stickers in the neighborhood! I'd like to add that the green beans, eggplant and the tofu special are all stand out dishes. Generally, the quality is very very good, some of the best around. We love coming to King Yen, it's very underrated for how outstanding the food is!!!Vegetarian options: Veggie Tofu special is the bomb?!Wheelchair accessibility: Accessable

Went there for lunch. I had the Kung Pao chicken and my wife had beef and eggplant along with an order of fried dumplings. The food was good but we've had better. My wife really liked her dish but she thought mine was not that great. Personally I think zucchini is kinda weird in Kung Pao. I will say though that the service was outstanding. In and out of there very quickly if you want to. And the servers really take care of you.

King Yen is our go-to place for decades of good Chinese food. While they do a strong take-out business, there's nothing like this food directly out of the wok. My personal favorite is their tea-smoked duck, served with feather light rolls. The pot-stickers are excellent. I've tried all their prawn dishes and all are good. The meat dishes are excellent and the noodles are great, the vegetables nicely seasoned and yummy--in short, reliable, and uniformly good. Service is pleasant and capable. The atmosphere is airy, quiet enough to enjoy your company. There's always food to take home (barring certain relatives as dining companions.) Take-out is equally reliable, and actually cooked there! A neighborhood treasure. The next generation is dining here as well.

Mostly onions. Overpriced and poor quality of everything except a few innocent rectangles of tofu.

Not great Chinese food, anyone who is saying “the best” hasn’t been to Great China or Shan Dong, or is getting very different food from me. This was the second time I’ve been here, the first time I went with an open mind and was underwhelmed and disappointed. Lacking flavor—if I got this same dish (Broccoli and Chicken) from either of the aforementioned restaurants I know it would tastier, and about the same price. For this price point it’s not worth it unless you are out of options. $42 for for a soup and a broccoli and and chicken (and rice) seems a bit steep.
Went for lunch this time. Consistently good food - huge lunch portions - you'll have leftovers for dinner!
