Yen Ching Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    The staff is super friendly and you get good service for in restaurant and for take out. I think they have a harder time with large parties, as that was my only mediocre experience with this restaurant. All other times were good. Favorites: Hot and sour soup Minced beef with cilantro soup Moo-shu chicken

    The General Tso's chicken lacked crispiness and flavor with a heat index of pre school. I had the Garlic chicken on a previous visit, and it was pretty tasty.

    I ordered takeout from this restaurant today: Orange Chicken and Crab puffs..The food was good....Portions huge.....The pieces of chicken were cooked nicely. They could have been a little crispier. The orange sauce was good and plentiful. The crab puffs were cooked perfect, and the filling was great.. My only not so great comment is that the inside of the restaurant smelled like old moldy feet...I don't think I would like to dine in.

    I went to Yen Ching's for the first time last night with my mother. I was probably several decades younger than the majority of the clientele as well as the decor but don't let that fool you. This was probably some of the best Chinese food I have had in quite a while. I'll be taking my husband (he's very picky about Chinese food) here soon so he can try it out too! Thanks for a great meal (and tons of leftovers), Yen Ching!

    Well let me start that this place has been around for forever, so they must be doing something right. I remember going here with my family after all my silly plays in elementary school and I still go here, I'm now in college. The food is really yummy and the price is inexpensive. The restaurant decor is a little funky but I don't go there for that. The people who work there are super nice and will take very good care of you. They have weird hours on Saturday though, which is my only complaint. They open around 4:30 pm but the food is so worth it.

    Nasty. Better off going to Panda Express. It's just sloppy, greasy, and bland. Not to mention that they forgot an entire entree for our take-out order, which we didn't find out until we got home. The old folks around superstion springs probably love it - cheap and bland.

    Went with two other people, ordered the General Tso's chicken and the Spicy Braised Fish with the intent of getting a third dish if we were still hungry. The fish came with an option to substitute fried rice for white rice for $1.50, and I requested that. The fried rice came out way too fast for it to have been fried to order. It tasted like steamed rice seasoned with soy sauce, and there were maybe 5 carrots/peas in the entire bowl. It was too salty for me to enjoy, but I kept it on my plate hoping that the sauces from the main dishes would cut some of the salt. Spicy fish and chicken came out, neither had even the faintest spice but both were horribly salty. In addition they were overcooked to the point that I couldn't tell which meat was which, and had to rely on the garnish to tell the two dishes apart. The chicken was the worse of the two, because in addition to being salty and overcooked it was cloyingly sweet and buried under a thick (ketchup-consistency) sauce that was impossible to eat around. I told the waiter that we wanted to exchange the chicken for a different dish. He said that this was impossible, and that this is how General Tso's chicken is supposed to taste. I started to argue, but decided it wasn't worth it since even if we got a replacement, we'd likely be trading one inedible dish for another. We picked at the fish some more, and left hungry. When we got the bill, it turned out that we were charged three times for fried rice, even though we only requested it with one dish.

    I highly recommend this place. The chicken lo mein, and pork fried rice was excellent. The greeter was very busy when I walked in, and he even didn't skip a beat, he acknowledged everyone in the room, with a smile, while performing his job. I was very impressed with his customer service. This place was packed. That means, good food and service, we'll be back..5 stars!!

    This place is the best Chinese food around by far. The staff is so friendly especially David, he is a server. I'm a college student on a budget and the prices are great for the amount of food you get! Yes the furniture is a little out dated and at first I was so skeptical but it is VERY clean :)

    My entire family loves this place. The decor is outdated, but the food and the staff are awesome. My Husband introduced this place to me 10 years ago, and it is by far our favorite chinese place to go to. I prefer to there rather then take it home. Even though the decor is not awesome, I like the atmosphere and the staff.

    I had the Kung Pao2 (Kung Pao with shrimp and chicken). It was very good. It came with white rice ($2 more for fried rice seemed too much). The rice was cooked well, not too mushy or too crunchy. The amount of food seemed a bit small, maybe enough for one person, but definitely not for two. The price seemed a little high. All in all, it was good food and service and I'd go back again.

    Went in and asked for Sweet and sour pork. Pork wasn't seasoned and vegetables were way to large to eat.

    Order the hot and sour soup to start, to share or as your entree. Just be sure to order it. It's my favorite H&S. The service is always great.

    Good service, egg drop soup was salty but wasn't bad and you get a chicken wing dipped in brown sauce with a cream cheese dumpling. The lunch menu is pretty large and has an entree with a side of plain fried rice. I asked that the vegetables be well done and they weren't. The sauce on both our entrees was so strong it was almost uneatable. I had to mix it with the rice and a couple spoons of sweet & sour. Neither of us was able to finish our entrees. Best I can say is Been There, Done That

    Ordered take out tonight 7/22/15. Garlic shrimp is heavily breaded and soggy. The shrimp are very small and have the tail on them still. Lemon chicken was awful. It was breaded, dry and tough. The lemon sauce came in a separate container and is really awful. Tastes like the smell of lemon pledge. Thankfully the spicy fried rice and vegetable fried rice were good or we would have had to order a whole other dinner from somewhere else. I probably won't return. If I could rate 0 or negative stars, I would, but 1 was the lowest available.

    Ive been coming here for almost 20 years, and the quality of food, staff, and decor have not changed one bit. Please, please, PLEASE check their hours before stopping. They tend to change. Now, when you get here, DO NOT be put off but the pink and blue 80's decor. The food is worth it. So, so worth it. Everytime we come here, we get the same older gentleman (who really is the *sweetest* guy) serving us. He's always prompt, attentive, and more than cordial. We always get a Bo Bo platter (also called a Pu Pu platter), tea, and 2 side dishes. The platter (for 2) comes w/ an egg roll, deep fried shrimp, crab puffs, foil wrapped chicken (one of my faves), spare ribs, and beef on a skewer (complete w/ a flaming platter to crisp it up). This place is one of the only places in AZ Ive found that serves this platter w/ flames. The tea is always delicious and hot. We opt for chicken fiend rice (some of the best in the valley) and chicken chow mein (crispy noodles), along w/ an extra order of crab puffs. Its enough food for take away and it's as delicious the next day. Be sure to as for some real hot mustard to go and enjoy some of the best Chinese food in the valley!

    I was sadly disappointed with this place. I had the chicken chow mein and it had way too much teriyaki sauce. I felt crappy afterwards too. For the price I expected it to be much better. There are better Chinese restaurants in the area that are half the price and much tastier.

    Don't get take out during dinner. $10 for medium sized sweet and sour dish. It doesn't even come with an eggroll. Their lunch dishes are cheaper and have more food! What a ripp off.

    Our party of five visited the restaurant on a Friday night, and we were seated promptly despite a fair number of guests. The service was outstanding and professional...we never had an unfilled water glass, and our waiter was friendly and efficient The food, however, was bland, most likely because Yen Ching is located in a retirement area and they know their audience. I can't say that anything was particularly fresh-tasting. All five dishes we ordered were swimming in mild, salty sauces. It's no wonder that this is my 80-something year old father-in-law's favorite Chinese restaurant. Also, they need to lose the dusty artificial plants and the generic muzak, otherwise the atmosphere was okay. There are much better Chinese restaurants around town for food, but you can't beat the friendliness of the staff.

    This is a great little old school chinese restaurant. They have pink linens, fake flowers, etc...it feels like a 1980s NY style chinese restaurant. Aside from the decor, the food is good. I enjoy their hot and sour soup, yum! They are affordable and the portions are a good size.

    I have been going exclusively to Yen Ching for the last 5 years and only once before did i have any mistakes on an order, until now. I placed an order for myself, my wife and for my mother in law. I asked for a dinner sized chicken and broc in WHITE SAUCE. When i got home the chicken in broc was in the brown sauce, since Yen Ching closes between 2:30 and 4:30 i had to wait 2 hours to call in the mistake. When i managed to get ahold of someone i was informed the woman that took the order was not there anymore that day and had to call e back. When i did get to speak with her she argued that i never once said white sauce, it was my fault an they would do nothing bout it. Our room mate is still bitching at me for the order mistake and for a simple $10 dinner i can not recommend anyone go to here since if your order is messed up they will do nothing for you. Sad, i have spent thousands of dollers here inthe last 5 years and now, i will never buy from Yen Ching again.

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.
