Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Good local spot for take out. Food is good and the price is reasonable.

    Eaten here 10 or so times. Chicken is all white meat, service is efficient, food is good and prices are good. Really just a good little Chinese restaurant.

    Large portions and cooked to order! Good sweet and sour chicken! Can't wait to come back and try more. The young gentleman was very helpful that was up front. My nephew got the orange chicken and said it was good but wasn't really that spicy!

    I used to love this place. We would order a bunch of food and it was all excellent. Last handful of times though it's gone from not very good to actually being bad. I went tonight for the first time in a long time and ordered three dishes. After tasting them, two went directly into the garbage. Really was hoping for a good experience tonight but I don't think I will be back. I'm giving two stars instead of one because the people there are very nice and the one dish tonight that was good was very good.

    Was looking for a new place to eat and saw Yan's. I have found a good Chinese cuisine restaurant should be able to make a good fried rice and hot and sour soup. Those are my leading indicators of whether it is a real Chinese food or American fast food restaurant. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken combo with fried rice and a spring roll, some hot and sour soup to eat and some house fried rice to go. The fried rice on the combo plate wasn't. It was some light orange colored steamed rice. Not bad, but not fried rice. The hot and sour soup was a bit bizarre. It was nicely spicy, but contained uncooked sliced button mushrooms. I've had hot and sour soup that tasted more like warm dish water. This was much better than that, but still way off the mark. The sour component was mostly missing. If you like southwestern spicy mushroom soup with bamboo sprouts and tofu, you'll enjoy this version. So, with two major strikes against them, the Kung Pao Chicken was great. Flavorful, spicy but not hot enough to blow out the taste buds. When I got home and tasted the to go House Fried Rice, it was wonderful. Great fried rice has a smokey taste from the extreme high heat of the wok. This was a home run. So, on the first visit, I'll give them a two star review with bonus points for a polite and friendly staff and another bonus for properly prepared house fried rice. The food was poor or great. Worth another try. Still looking for some decent hot and sour soup.

    Great food, Great price and Great ambiance: Being my first visit here, Yan's is a great Chinese restaurant and a family favorite for take out. The service is friendly and the food is WOW..exceptional. They use all white meat chicken all though the orange chicken was okay, but not the best. It had a flavorless taste. My favorite dish was there Chow Mein and Mongolian Beef and i highly recommend that next time you visit. If you like good traditional chinese food with a large selection, this is the place to go. Since it was my first time here, I will be trying out other dishes the next time im there which will be really soon. While you are there be sure to grab a take out menu for future visits.

    Went out yesterday and was not disappointed when I ended up here. Left full for a decent price. Two combination meals for $17 and had left overs. And their noodles are AMAZING!!!!

    I've lived in Goodyear for 10 years and have tried this place a few times. When they first opened they were decent. But sadly, my recent experience proves they've let all quality and care go by the wayside. I just had surgery the day before we ordered so I really wanted some decent food. Ordered: honey shrimp- SO strange. Battered pieces were huge as if it were battered fish, yet cut it open and there was one smaaaaall shrimp inside. If I had felt better I would have taken a photo it was so sad and comical. And tastes gross. Wonton soup: no words for how bland and disgusting this was. Seriously. Teriyaki chicken: I asked for sauce on the side. I got a container full of BOILED chicken with zero seasoning, with disgusting sugary syrup style teriyaki sauce on the side. It was impossible to eat. Even Panda Express teriyaki chicken is so so much better than this!! Crab Rangoons: purses of overstuffed lumps of cream cheese. No crab. Fried cheese balls. Gross. House fried rice: this was the only decent thing that we were able to eat. We spent $40 and threw most of the food away. Shameful and awful. I will NOT be getting food from Yans again.

    Yan's is good! Low prices, large quantities and consistently good food. Service is also really quick, whether dining in or taking out. In terms of food, I stick with something un-fried and something that has veggies, since the orange, honey and sesame chicken all kind of taste similar. Also, if you order an egg roll, make sure to ask for sweet and sour sauce or you might not get any. In the realm of Chinese food, there are few things I hate more than having to eat a dry egg roll :(

  • Risa A.

    I've been here a few times and never disappoints. The flavor of their food is amazing. Food is fresh and fast. Plus you get a ton of food for the money.

  • Dre R.

    This place is pretty horrible. The food is so greasy they have to wrap the to-go box in a BAG to keep it from leaking all over the place. I love rib-sticking terrible food, but when the grease runneth over, that's just too much. When I do eat here, I ask them to go easy on the cooking oil which definitely helps the leakage situation they have going on over there. Or I just take the safe route and get fried rice. I don't want to be all negative so I will say the portion sizes are good, the staff is friendly and the prices are fair.

    Food was ok. I had better. I asked for Chinese fried chicken and no one knew what I was talking about. Probably won't go back.

  • Luciana L.

    Got the shrimp friend rice to go. It was OK. Big pieces of shrimp so that was a plus. I wish they had yan chow fried fried but they don't. Disappointing but the fried rice I did get is about par with most places in the area.

  • Lo T.

    This is gotta be one of the worst Chinese places I have ever tried. The food was disgusting to the point it was not edible. It was so deep fired that you can no longer see or taste the meat. I had the orange chicken (it was horrible) and my husband ordered the shrimp. In both cases, all you tasted was the breading. The lady at the counter was rude and not attentive at all. Do not waste your money and eat here.

    We are constantly on the search for good Chinese in the west valley. So instead of hitting up the usual we decided to give Yan's a try. The good: The restaurant is very nice inside and clean. You can see in the back where they are cooking and it looks nice. The food came out to is quickly and the staff was extremely friendly. It was also very reasonable prices. Two combination dinners for under $14. The food was pretty good. The only thing I didn't care for was the fried rice. It was pretty bland and tasteless. The bad: The only bad thing was the portion size was pretty small. While honestly it was enough for me I love having left overs for lunch the next day. My husband has a big appetite and could have eaten another order. I guess the search continues.

    Love this place. Food is always served quick and taste great. The staff is very friendly and the place is clean.

    Yans is always hot and fresh. I think they are one of the better places to eat in Goodyear. I like their orange chicken.

  • LW N.

    Don't waste time or money here but walk or drive 100 feet away to Wok Wei. We had hot and sour soup at both places and Wok Wei's had big shrimps in it and better taste. Yans was not even hot and tasted like hint of BBQ sauce. the egg rice seemed to be devoid of egg and the Mongolian beef was mostly onion. Most of my meal got tossed in the trash. Very disappointing

    This was a good find for us as we were passing through town. My husband wanted some flavorful but quick food since we had our dog with us. We had seen the sign for Panda Express and were headed towards it when I eyed Yan's. We were very happy that we stopped here. We entered and were greeted kindly. Of course we were the only customers at the time. There were a lot of choices on the menu. They also have a menu on the wall with pictures, which will give you an idea what you are ordering. We were very pleased with our Twice cooked beef, Shrimp Chow Suey, and Deep Fried (battered) Shrimp. We ordered a side of white rice to eat with the Twice cooked beef. The Twice cooked beef was my favorite!. The employees were very friendly up until the time we walked out the door. We wouldn't mind stopping by Yan's again to try some new dishes, but for sure I would order the Twice cooked beef again! WE'LL BE BACK (In Arnold's voice :D)

    I don't understand all these terrible reviews. I absolutely love yans. My family and I eat here almost twice a week every week and we have yet to have a bad experience. The food is amazingly fresh and the service is always great. This place is family owned, and they will always greet you with a smile (:

  • Nele V.

    Of of all the Chinese places I've gone to so far around here, this one takes the cake! I could not, for the life of me, find a place that makes affordable Chicken Pad Thai but Yan's makes deliciously right and still keeps it affordable. I go here very other Sunday it's sort of a tradition now. I just love it so much! Yan's gets the highest of fives from me :)

    We discovered Yans last month and have returned every weekend since. Excellent food, large portions and very affordable.

  • Deanna C.

    Normally I only go for the sesame chicken when I have Chinese food. While this wasn't the worst food I have ever had it was far from the best. The coating on the chicken was very spongy and the flavor was so-so. The good thing was you could at least identify the chicken as white meat. Would probably not go back. Still waiting to find sesame chicken in goodyear that's any good.

  • Pebbles A.

    Worst Chinese food ever. I came into Yan ' craving some Chinese food. While we sat waiting for our food we helped ourselves at the soda machine, I literally spit the soda out thinking it was a diet sprite due to the after taste. I went up for coke, only to get the same reaction. When the food arrived it looks great, but after biting into the broccoli it had that same gross after taste. The broccoli was extra watery and the juices had the same horrible after taste. My only way to describe the taste is sewer water. I don't write reviews but felt the need when a restaurant's food literally makes me spit it out and leave my food behind.

    Just watched the chef drop his tongs on the ground, pick them up and use them again. Refund? Yes please. Not returning to this place. When I asked him about it he wouldn't respond to me.

    My poor husband came into this restaurant yesterday at noon and ordered their Yum Yum Chicken. While he was waiting for his order he heard a microwave being operated in the back! When he got his chicken home and proceeded to eat it. He ate one piece of chicken and noticed it lacked "freshness." He had me taste it to make sure and I immediately spit it out!! It had the flavor of tainted meat all in my mouth and the chicken was so rubbery!! My husband now has mild food poisoning today, thanks to Yan's and has not been able to eat a decent meal today because of it and other unpleasant symptoms. Too many a times have they served us bunk food....Forget this place, I'm never being disappointed here again!!! Where can I find some real chinese food around here?? No where. Guess I'll save my appetite for California, where all the food is fresh.

    Wow, I am so glad I decided to try this place. Inside, the restaurant is spotless and nicely decorated. Very nice. I got takeout, and the food was amazing. As a vegan, it's tough to find tofu dishes anywhere in the West Valley. I highly recommend the kung pao tofu dish with a side of vegetable noodles. My boyfriend tried my food and he was very impressed as well. Very fresh food, and delicious. Will definitely be back for more! :)

    We ordered it for delievery with youbuyandwefly.com . It's resonably priced and very yummy. We'll order again. I can't comment on the actual location though because again we ordered delievery. I had the hot and sour soup and it was delicous, we also ordered some sweet and sour pork, orange chicken, and chicken chow main it was all good!

    Unfortunately, I have to leave Yan's a 2-star review. We used to go here all the time when we first moved down to Goodyear. It's close to home, and we had heard great things about it. Those turned out to be true--great, fast service, yummy food, nice employees, etc. However, the last 3 or 4 times ended up being not so great at all. At first, we just thought it was a fluke. Then, the 2nd time, coincidence? After that, we have decided that we will probably not go there again unfortunately :( Sad, because we used to love Yan's! We aren't sure what happened, but here are the negatives we've experienced lately: We ALWAYS get the Crab Rangoons with our meals every time. (By the way, we always call in and order take-out rather than eating there since it's so close to home.) They are usually great with the sauce they come with, but the last 3-4 times have not been so great. One time, they forgot to give us the sauce, which we did not notice until we had started eating our food. They are difficult to eat without sauce ;) The next few times, we had sauce, but it was extremely runny and seemed watered down... literally. The taste was completely diluted and different, as if they had run out or something and wanted to re-use what they had left. Not good :( The fact that it happened more than once is concerning. We always call in and order it as take-out, and they tell us 10-15 minutes (or something along those lines.) We always arrive at the expected time, or sometimes a little later, and walk in to pick it up. At first, they were a few minutes later than expected, but lately it seems like they don't even put the order in until we walk into the restaurant. When I say "seems like," I mean we ask for our order, and they tell the cooks to make it right in front of us. Ok, so why did we call in and order over the phone if we could have just saved ourselves the phone call and just walked in to order? So we sit and wait for the ~15 minutes while they make our order. This is totally fine, because it is fresh and usually good food, but it takes twice the amount of estimated time (and again, why even bother calling in if they don't put the order in until you arrive??!) This has happened several times now, not just once or twice. The same dishes we used to love at Yan's don't seem to be of the same quality they used to be. They aren't as flavourful, and the meat seems to be very "fatty" at times. It wasn't always like this... It just seems like corners are being cut to make an extra buck. I know that "times are tough" right now, as much as I hate to keep saying that, and that most businesses are struggling right now, but it's just sad to see it happen right in front of us. We used to love going here, but now we just don't feel like spending the money if we are not satisfied. Hopefully it changes back to being a great place, but until then I have to leave then a 2-star review.

    It is a good eat. They use all white meat chicken and give you plenty to eat. My wife always gets sweet and sour chicken. It is enough to feed to boys from one plate. They all love it. The orange chicken is is just too sweet for me. If it wasnt so syrupy and had more spice, it would be better. I like white meat chicken with some spice. Good, but just too sweet. Mongolian beef is very tasty. Thats usually what I get. Again, not quite the kick I like. I usually add some sriracha hot sauce. Mmmmmm.

    Best Chinese I have had in a long time and good size portions. The Mongolian beef is my favorite. Yummy Yans!

    This place gets a 3-star "A-OK" rating because for a fast food Chinese place, it's "A-OK." It's better than Panda Express, not as good as Pei Wei, and the food is about even with other family-style, strip-mall resident Chinese restaurants. The decor is like a pizza joint. They must have recently gotten some new chairs and tables, which were nice; although, the chairs had plastic on the seats still. My husband had picked up take-out a couple of months ago, and the food was fairly good, so we tried it again in a pinch. This time we ate there. Our host/server had this ridiculously dry sense of humor, and my husband was his best audience member. Michael would pitch him a doozy, and this guy would knock it out of the park. We had the twice cooked chicken and the kung pao beef. Both were good - I'd definitely get those dishes again and recommend them!

    Totally good experience, for non over seasoned and salty food. Great layout and good customer service. Obviously they have been making changes because the other reviews do not do proper justice. Worth the time for a quick cheap meal.

    It slipped again. This time for the last time for us. Gus promises we will never go back even if he is being lazy and does not want to drive a little more down the road. This is the closest Chinese to our home, but hey we might move anyway. This time around was very odd, four tables with no chairs and none to be found. So While Gus was ordering I asked for a cloth to clean a dirty table with chairs. She suggested I move the chairs to one of the empty tables. I said do not want to sit at one of those tables, I prefer one in a corner where no one can pass behind me. So she went over and washed off the table for us, with a smile I might ad. Look these are really nice folks running this place and I wish I liked it. But God the food is just horrible. Gus ordered a beef dish that looked and tasted like it was drenched in a molasses sauce. Mine was spicy but no flavour and the rice was just yucky, how do you screw up white rice.

    Wow, I just signed up for Yelp after checking reviews occasionally over the years. I had to register now just to put my 2 cents in on Yan's though, among others. I was quite surprised by a few harsh reviews on Yelp for Yan's and I really disagree with nearly all of the negativity. The host guy at the front counter is a wanna-be comedian, but it's all in good fun. A restaurant should be reviewed and judged by it's food first though, and this is probably the best Asian restaurant West of 101 and certainly the best in Goodyear and Avondale that we've had. I've eaten at hundreds of Asian restaurants all around the country and was pleasantly surpised when Yan's opened. They have a respectable hot and sour soup, excellent sized portions and the food is all freshly cooked to order. The Mongolian Beef has better quality meat than most and is very good. They even had Asians doing the cooking, can't find that at PeiWei or Panda, etc. these days. Do yourself a favor, try this place for yourself. If you don't like the relatively simple, but clean, decor then take it home to eat.

    Hidden gem. Very decent food for a reasonable price. Not a flashy place but a wide variety on the menu that appears to specialize in American-Chinese style food. Tasty, big portions, and attentive staff made this a place we'll be coming back to again.

    Great food, reasonably priced. Large portions, plentiful variety! I highly recommend the orange chicken, the Mongolian beef and the number five meal with chicken, vegetables and lo mein noodles.scrumptious!

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
