Delicious Food!!Huge portions!Warm and caring service! Feels like your at home for the holidays The ladies are sweet and they box up your To-go boxes for you. Rather than just handing you To-go containers and walking away like most places nowadays!!The Atmosphere is calming and you feel the pride they have in their business!Not many Restaurants like this around anymore unfortunately!I'd give them 10 stars if I could!!

It used to be my favorite place to eat. I don't know if they got new chefs recently or what, but their food tasted weird.

Our food was ordered on a delivery app so presentation will be ignored. The appetizer was a disappointment. The wonton soup was tasteless and the wontons were very bland, the fried egg roll was greasy, the BBQ pork was dry and there was an English tea sandwich looking item that was inedible. The kung pao chicken was under seasoned and because there was no option for heat level it was tasteless. We had two orders of egg foo young, one shrimp & one chicken. Both contained large chunks of celery and were equally bland and disappointing. The gravy for the egg foo young seemed to be a concoction of soy sauce, corn starch and water. The underlying theme was greasy and a total lack of seasoning and no love of the ingredients was involved. Sadly the best part of the meal was the fortune cookies. We all hope that we don't celebrate the end of our meal with explosive diarrhea. All in all a frozen pizza from the supermarket would have been a better choice for dinner.

Love the atmosphere here at Yen Chi g! The aromas of the cultural dishes wafting through the dining area was so devine! We love the Mongolian Beef and the Almond Chicken with fried rice and vegetables.... one of our favorites! So much food we ate the leftovers the very next day. Always a pleasure as the staff are so polite and the food delivered quickly!

The food is great but the inside of the restaurant and furniture could really use some upgrades,that alone will keep me from going back.Parking: It is a shared parking lot with other businesses.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs,straight in from the front door.

Really nice surroundings, took me back to being a kid when going out for Chinese food was considered a bit fancy...food (mongolian beef, veggie fried rice, spring rolls) had good flavor, service was flawless. Will definitely be

The entree in question is almond chicken. While the chicken gravy was nice, the fry batter reacting to the hot oil makes it greasy and puffy. The main drawback is that the chicken is overcooked and dry inside, almost like gnawing on chicken jerky. I would advise against ordering this. - Blake

Unfortunately I've not had the best experience at this restaurant. The food was ok but not amazing. The waitress was extremely pushy. She spent a pretty impressive amount of time trying to sell us more food then 4 people could eat then progressively getting angrier and angrier when we wouldn't accept what she wanted by ordering more and more food. We finally gave up and ordered a few more items to get her to leave the table. In the end we had an insane amount of left overs and a high priced bill. But what really turned me off with this whole experience was the uncleanliness. The women's Bathroom was unbelievably filthy. I would not recommend it!

Great Chinese food. Friendly service. Hot and Sour soup and Kung pao chicken are excellent.

Best old school classic American Chinese in area. Tacky old restaurant with lazy Susan's and weird bar. Giant koi pond that fascinates my three children. All food is delicious. Never had a bad dish. This is not a fancy Chinese restaurant, it's a strip mall that used to be a theater. I saw Lost Boys there in the 80's. It's wedged between a pool hall and a nail salon. There will be shady guys smoking, but it still will be worth it. Door Dash and Uber crazy, support in person or call in and pick up. They'll let kids feed the fish. I could put some food porn pic up, but I'm 47 and that's g & r. Go yourself and see.
