Very disappointed. I do not recommend this restaurant, until they get a better cook. I was arived for lunch, and was politely seeted. He imediately returned with Hot Tea & Ice Water. After looking at the lunch specials, I ordered Kung Pao Chicken, Pork Fied Rice, and Sesame Chicken. A tasty bowl of Hot-and-Sour Soup was served (7/10). Next, my lunch special arrived. Immediately I could see that my Sesame Chicken was not Sesame Chicken, just bland, unseasoned nuggets straight out of the fryer. The waiter tried to convince me that it was Sesame Chicken, rediculous (0/10). The Kung Pao was prepared correctly, but was very bland (2/10). The Pork Fried Rice was sorta bland but better than the two meat dishes (4/10). I was super hungry, but couldn't continue eating. I left a full plate of food, paid, then quietly suggested they needed better food to have return customers. An off-day for the cook? I don't think so. A real disappointment, as the returant is clean & well decorated. They could be serving more customers if served tasty food.

I grew up in Tigard. My family would eat here as a treat when we could. I'm so glad the place hasn't changed. The food is good and you can't complain about the prices at all. I love theIr fried shrimp. It brings back so many memories for me.
I know it's wrong but I love theIr sweet and sour sauce on the lo main noodles.

I longed for 50’s style Chinese American food. A friend recommended this restaurant. We ordered two family dinners, extra white rice and won ton for appetizers. We got an enormous bag of food for a very reasonable price. Everything was fresh and tasty. My grandkids also loved it and ate like wolves! I will continue to go back.

They always have great food and service. The tea and soup with every meal makes the experience exactly what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. Takeout or dine in is good.

This is a good place to enjoy a relaxing meal. Portions are big enough for leftovers. I love the old school charm. Friendly staff too.

There isn't a better General Tso's, there just isn't! They must have a secret recipe because other restaurants never measure up. So good!We love Yen's-- it's our favorite Chinese food. It's gotten a little spendy, but eveything has. Still great portions & always delish.
