I’ve come into this restaurant and the service is great, the food has been good in the past, but in my most recent experience I found a roach inside my spicy tofu dish. It was so disappointing and disgusting that I won’t be able to come back anymore. I know the staff may work hard and everything but I think if this infestation is an issue it should really be dealt with. I’m genuinely disappointed to have found this.

We discovered Yan's a year ago and have been coming back ever since.

Yan's has a laidback, family-owned feel. The service is friendly, and I feel taken care of when I walk in.

The portions are generous so expect leftovers. The salt and pepper fried pork and the sticky rice cakes for dessert are my favorites every time.

I visited this restaurant last week. While the food was decent (nothing special), the customer service was very disappointing. The staff made snarky comments, glared at us, and didn’t refill our water throughout the meal. I’ve never experienced service this poor before, and unfortunately, I’ll be choosing a different nearby restaurant in the future.

Solid Asian kitchen. Great flavors and many options for vegetarians. They seems to always have space and minimal wait. Great attentive staff. Highly recommended.

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.❤️

Great service! I enjoyed talking to the server. The food portion is large and tastes good!

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!!
