I've been going to Yans for at least 15 yrs. The food is excellent, no msg, not a drop of grease on any fried food! The Best! And the owners are wonderful people, very involved in the Swampscott community. Go There! You will love it!!!

Ordered take out today, and the food was excellent. Order was ready on-time, exactly as promised, neatly packaged into a brown bag.I was surprised that dinner portion of Mongolian Beef came without rice. But there was plenty of rice included with Chicken & Broccoli, so we shared.

I am a frequent visitor to this restaurant, and would say the food and portions are consistently good, and the prices are what one would expect. The only exceptions are the soups. I love a good soup in a Chinese restaurant, but the ones at Yans fall below my expectations. I have had the hot and sour, egg drop and wonton soups. All are lacking in flavor, or just don't taste very good ( hot and sour).. They need new recipes. I will continue to eat there as the other food is very good, but I would love them to improve their soups.

Very good Chinese food. Also very fast preparation. You can tell the food is quality. Also, very affordable. I highly recommend.

Yan's makes no mention of the massive amounts of celery they decide to include in some dishes. This has happened on two different orders, and I'm not going to get burned a third time.When you order something called "Chicken with Cashew Nuts" that has no further description in the menu, you expect to receive in the dish:- Chicken- Cashew Nuts- Hopefully some sauce- Perhaps a small amount of veggies?- I dunno, maybe some sorta scallions or something? I'm not a chef...What you don't expect to receive in the dish is:- Chicken- 1/4 the container filled with celery- Cashews(this also goes for the "Kung Pao Chicken with Peanuts" that contained more celery than peanuts)I would like to emphasize: The quality of the food and flavor was perfectly fine. However, unless you're a Celery Enthusiast, I'd call ahead to confirm that the dish you're looking at isn't really a secret celery bomb.

After just having moved to Lynn , I wasn’t impressed at all with other Asian restaurants. Thankfully I found this place , and it will continue to be my new go to. I also LOVE a that I can order from their website and not have to pay insane doordash/ Uber eats fees which means better tips for the driver . Excellent food!

Excellent food, can’t say enough good things about this place. Was looking for good Chinese food in Mass and this exceeded expectations. Chicken fried rice, pork fried rice, sweet and sour chicken were phenomenal!

I will start with the most important stuff: The food is excellent, the portions are plentiful, and prices are modest. This has been our go to place for Chinese takeout for many years, and will continue to play that role. The problem-and the reason this is not a 5 star review-is the online ordering system. When I placed the order, it told me that the order would be ready at a very specific time-6:07 pm. I subsequently received a text and 2 emails confirming that pick up time. When I arrived, however, I was told that the order would not be ready for 10-15 minutes. In fact, though, it was not ready for 25 minutes. I categorize this as an annoyance: restaurants get busy and delays happen. But it is not too much to ask that if there are delays, the patron should be updated about the order’s status via text or email.

The food is terrible. I really feel like they gave me rice from two days ago. It all tasted very chemically. I wish I never went there. $40 down the drain.

They offer a nice range of delicious food. I like eating here. Staff members are always welcoming, rates are convenient and the spot is always kept clean.
