      Friendly and attentive staff. Inside was roomy and nicely decorated.

      Lunch was a little pricey but seems like everything is, anymore. $16.29 for lunch size portion of Mongolian Beef with rice, mini egg roll, and egg drop soup.

      I also ordered fried pot stickers. Everything was just ok. Soup didn't have a lot of flavor, egg roll was fine, rice had peas and carrots, I don't like them but forgot to ask for steamed rice so I just picked them out. Mongolian beef was fine, but no sauce whatsoever.

      Still in my quest to find my new go to spot. This isn't it.

      Yen Ching holds a special place in my heart. It's perfect for group outings where sharing plates adds to the fun. With numerous favorites on the menu, I particularly enjoy their signature dish, "Yen Ching Beef," and their exceptional hot & sour soup, unrivaled in the area. Every appetizer is delightful, and the attentive service makes each visit a treat. I simply adore coming here.

      Great food! Inside is a bit dated but this restaurant has been around forever and it's our go-to delivery option. We tried just about everything- yen Ching beef was by far our favorite. Mu shu pork is very very good as well! Not the biggest fan of Szechuan chicken or pad Thai but you really can't go wrong here!!

      Love the food! Spicy Crispy Beef is amazing! Service is good. 4 stars because why does Crab Rangoon cost $12?

      I've loved Yen Ching for a long time. I always get the Crab Rangoon, fried rice, and the hot braised shrimp. In the past, tea was always served, now it seems as if I had to request it. Also, the service was timely. The most alarming thing is that their prices have dramatically increased. If you order an appetizer, two entrees and a side dish and you're at $100. The china plates and silverware have seen better days. The inside has been "refreshed" and the ambiance is low key. I wish they would stop putting the carrots and peas in the fried rice but oh well. But it's a sentimental fav of mine so I'll always visit when I'm in town.

      Chicken and shrimp fried rice.

      Food was pretty good. Crab Rangoon, Pot Stickers, Sesame Chicken & Yen Ching Beef was $69.35. The prices were 70%+ higher than on the Yelp menu. Be sure and go to their actual website for prices so you are not surprised. Also for almost $70 they only gave us 3 packets of soy sauce and 4 of sweet and sour sauce so be specific on how many you want.

      The prices listed on your site were 50% of the actual charge. Miss leading to say the least!

      I ordered takeout crab Rangoon, chicken and pea pods and sizzling rice soup. According to the Yelp menu it should have cost
      about $22. I was surprised when I got there to pickup and their price was a little over $48. Do not trust the Yelp menu prices. The food was good but pricey.

      First time here. Never saw it when passing by all these years. Apparently has won several awards. Ran in and menu was small but enough. I ordered the Happy Meal in brown garlic sauce. Loaded with big pieces of seafood, especially the shrimp. It was NOT shrimpy. Lol. Came with white rice which was just ok. My friend had the Sesame Chicken and liked it. Cute place. We took our food to go. Said it would be about 20 mins, was in/out in 10 mins. Very nice man (owner??) and woman took care of us. Will return for sure! (Forgot to take pics)
