I had higher expectations on food. I ordered Kung Pao Tofu. The Tofu was meant more for MaPu Tofu. It was over sauced on soy and the vegetables were minimal and soggy. The spicy Kung Pao flavor was completely missing. It was meant for people with zero taste buds. I was quite disaspointed. My friend ordered a chicken dish and was also underwhelmed. Based on other reviews I expected more.

We got the house dinner special for two. The water didn't taste so great but we were started off with the fried shrimp with sweet and sour sauce which was pretty good. I enjoyed the sizzling rice soup. I added hot oil to mine. Next we had our dinner which consisted of Mongolian Beef, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and pork fried rice. All of the above were very tasty. The walnuts in the honey walnut shrimp dish were candied, crispy, and fresh ❤️ The ambiance was very relaxing and mellow. The music was jazzy and there was a virtual aquarium which I really enjoyed. I loved the mellow vibe and our waiter, Felix, was very sweet and helpful.❤️

Hot and sour soup was tasty but could have been a tad spicier. Chicken skewers were on a bed of lettuce and were a nice combo 😎

Good vibes and great for large groups my friends and I always come here for some Chinese cuisine cravings.

Over priced commercial Chinese food that entrees are not even served with rice. That costs extra. Only serve bad wine and two types of beer. Skip it!!

No extra fees or surcharges. Thank you Yan’s Garden for the honest, inclusive menu pricing and please stay fee-free.

We enjoyed the food. Lunch special is a decent deal with a filling portion size. We ordered the Tofu and Black Mushroom a la carte and it was huge, enough for two and a half meals. Salt and Pepper Eggplant appetizer size was also substantial, tasty but somewhat on the salty side.

Outdoor seating: There are a handful of four-top tables outside the storefront, shaded by an awning.

I have eaten at Yan’s for years, and have been disappointed, lately, regarding the food.
I am looking for a better Chinese place.

A very nice little restaurant that I popped in for dinner. They have very comfortable seating including couches and very fun decor. The service was very kind and helpful and I was recommended the perfect menu item for me that I absolutely loved which was the chicken soup dumplings. Everything else ordered was lovely as well from the soup and their new menu item the spicy potato which was a brilliant add on.

I love going to this place! The food is affordable, comes out fast, and the waiters are very nice. I recommend this place if you want to support your local businesses. It's small but I feel like I never have to wait for a table.
