I ordered chicken chow mein and got cabbage, chicken, and a side of fried rice. Like... I'm so confused. It's not bad, but definitely not what I was expecting.

So had to give them a low score for first and unfortunately last order I will get from them due to the lack of flavor on an item from yesterday lunch here at work. So me and my co-worker wanted some Chinese food for lunch and after searching through the many places in this area we decided on Ysim Yung to give them a try. So I ordered fired chicken wings, shrimp egg roll, mamba sauce and fried rice. I added on the notes to make the fried rice spicy shrimp fried rice knowing it would cost an additional amount which I was fine with paying. So when the food got here I noticed that I just got plain rice. And when I say plain...I mean plain! No veggies or anything just a little bit of onions and one bean sprout. So as you can see they did not even read the notes to accommodate what I wanted. The shrimp roll was good as well as the chicken wings weee cooked well. So I will not be ordering from here again...because plain rice usually is at least veggie and not reading the notes that you have to add additional comments is a no go for me. So this is a one and done! On to find a good Chinese place still searching...

Arrived to DCA on a flight from Vegas so when we landed we were starving. I wanted some wonton soup so I looked up a good spot thanks to yelp in close range. We stopped in and ordered wonton soup. 3 wings, chicken lo mein and a spring spring roll. Everything was so good! Sadly we didn't get pictures because we were too busy enjoying and scarfing it down lol. But I promise I will get pictures next time. :-)

What can I say about this place that has stood the absolute test of time. I can honestly say that I have been eating from there since I went to the elementary school across the street. I am now 40 yrs old and the food and people are still on point. The sweet tea has always been a big hit. It just blows my mind.

Be very careful, these people did not deliver my food order correctly and when I called to let them know they came out denying what was missing and the payment for my food was made and they even collected the tip from the person in charge of the delivery without authorization

Maybe it's delicious, but it's too dirty for me.

I had been looking for a place to get wings and fries I tell you what both wings and fries was outstanding I definitely will be making this place a favorite. They have a pretty good menu so I will be trying the steak and cheese sub also.Parking: This is located by a school so timing of day parking can be tricky

It's edible and convenient, that's about it. As Chinese food, it's just bad, even by the standards of cheap Chinese takeout. General Tso's chicken was candy sweet with no spice at all. Pan-fried dumplings were overcooked and leathery. Lo Mein was bland and greasy. I absolutely do not understand the positive reviews here.

Been here many times, won't be going back. -Previous dinner orders of General Tso's chicken is full of breading it's arguably 75% breading just terrible. -So much rice for lunch now they are purposely pushing the rice outside the two small cups in the styrofoam to take up more space in the entrees area it was the same in all three of our lunch orders. -Beef and chicken lunches had maybe 3 ounces of actual meat. -Sauces all lack flavor they are a just sweet, watered down soy sauce mess. -Spring rolls are wrapped so many times to limit the filing to have to really bite down with gusto and sort of naw your way through it, they are not crisp and delicate with nice filling as they should be. Just sad about this place, really thought I found a decent Chinese restaurant that cared about quality, and cost engineering their food, wasn't crazy expensive, alas I was wrong.

Meh. Big, fat Meh. We just moved to the area and wanted to try the local Chinese takeout. It's not that it was bad food, exactly - it tasted okay for the most part. But it was bad Chinese food. General Tso's chicken had absolutely no heat; it was sweet as candy. Pan fried dumplings were overcooked and chewy. Spring rolls were good, but my wife's hunan vegetables were bland. In fact, the whole meal was bland. Bland, Bland, BLAND!I'd go back for the convenience because they're a few minutes' walk away, but I'm definitely looking elsewhere for Chinese food that's actually decent.

I had to take 12 egg rolls to my book club. I ordered in advance in mid day for a 7pm pickup. At 7pm I arrived as they were packaging them. They were fresh and tasted wonderful. Everybody loved them. This place has just three tables. So essentially a carry out place

We are new to the area and have tried a few take out places. They have now become our go to. Great flavorful food, huge portions and super fast delivery all of this at reasonable price.

I discovered Tsim Yung on DoorDash. Since I moved back to the area, I have been looking for a new Chinese food spot, and I found it with Tsim Yung. The food is always hot when delivered, they have a menu with various options, and it's not expensive. I consider myself a Chinese food connoisseur, and I've paid significantly more for Chinese food that didn't come close to tasting as good as this one. If you have a taste for good Chinese food, I recommend Tsim Yung.
