Chin Yuen - Coconut Shrimp - Chinese Near Me - Monticello, Minnesota

Great beef and broccoli! The young guy working out front at night is very kind and helpful. Spoke to his boss with much respect too.

Less celery more chicken needed I. The chicken chow main. Waaay too much celery. This is the second time I've eaten here and both times the food has been good. Just too much celery and hardly any chicken in chow main. read more

Great food, excellent menu options-reasonable prices, good customer service. Would go again

Limited parking, difficult to get out of busy parking lot. Food is amazing as always-staff always has a smile on their faces and are very welcoming. Ps. They have boba now! Will be back. read more

First I'd like to start by saying we own a summer place up in the area and found this gem last year. We ate here often and it was always the best. I was so excited to get back to our summer place and order Chin Yuen. We did for the first time this season last night, May 2, 2024. All I can say is that it was a bag of extreme disappointment. We got the May special and 4 house egg rolls. The egg rolls were over done and soggy not crispy like they had been in the past, the sweet and sour chicken would have been good, however, there was no sweet and sour sauce for the chicken, luckily I got 2 small containers for the egg rolls or I'd have had crispy chicken and rice for dinner, my husbands Sechuan Beef was more like green pepper soup with a very little beef, it was disgusting he said. It seems that something happened between October of 2023 and now and it wasn't a good thing. We will not be spending almost 50.00 for dinner here again. This was not edible. read more

This is hands down the BEST CHINESE FOOD in EVER As Fare as I'm concerned in the Hole state of Minnesota I would love to give this restaurant more if I could it's Deliciousness read more

My fave for 20 years!! Love, love, LOVE the chicken lo mein, it is the best!! Wontons, Fried rice Order online, and use the drive thru to pick-up... Easy Peasy! Maybe you all should deliver?!?! How awesome would that be? No worries, we'll drive for Chin Yuen! read more

Usually their food here has been good. I normally order the Coconut Shrimp which is fantastic. Along with the cream cheese wantons. This time however I added an order of Chicken Chow Mein for my father. To say dissapointed would be an understatement. All celery watered down with maybe 3 small pieces of chicken. Avoid the egg rolls as well. I was told on the phone that the house egg rolls you only get 1 because they're "regular" size. Even though the website said 2. Well what I got was pretty tiny at best. The food here is expensive for 2 entrees, and order of Wantons and that puny egg roll was $26. I'm giving 3 stars because the chow mein here is horrible, and the food is over priced. read more

Chin Yuen - This was supposed to be chicken chow mein. Literally maybe 3 small pieces of chicken and this was the rest. All Celery and water. - Chinese Near Me - Monticello, Minnesota

Best Chinese around ! Friendly staff good food fair pricing and speedy service ! Always happy when eating here !

So good. So surprisingly good for Monticello! Drive thru. I don't even have to get out of my car?! What is this life?! We got the sesame chicken, teriyaki chicken and beef and potatoes. All very good. My son ate ALL the teriyaki chicken and that's saying something. The sesame chicken has a very mild spice, but very tolerable. The breading is not overwhelming either. All the chicken was tender and moist (yes I hate that word, too). I also really enjoyed the wontons. A ton of cream cheese and the sweet and sour sauce was very good for dipping! I wouldn't put this in a class with high end Chinese restaurants, but for what it is and where it is - it's pretty darn good. read more

I stop here regularly for takeout. The Szechuan chicken and sesame chicken are excellent. Order online and it's usually very quick. The ladies working there are always friendly. read more

I frequent Chin Yuen, And I enjoy the food there. I get the sesame chicken, fried rice and chicken lo mein. The food is all very good, and I am typically given quite good portions. The staff is also very kind. My only issue is that the food is a bit pricey. I think it is a great Chinese option in Monticello, if you are willing to pay a bit extra. read more

I shared the house egg rolls, Kung Pao Chicken, General Tsao Chicken, Chicken Lo Mein,& the Sweet & Sour Chicken with my bf and we liked everything. The Kung Pao Chicken had a bit more sauce than we are use to and the Lo Mein noodles weren't traditional but they both still tasted good and you can tell they use fresh chicken. We also ordered everything super spicy and were very disappointed with how unspicy everything was. read more

Chin Yuen - a variety of asian food - Chinese Near Me - Monticello, Minnesota

Would not go again... The food was not great, everything was way too sweet, bland and greasy. Just not much taste overall for what you are paying for... Used to be much better... read more

Food quality is good but they seem to skimp you on the take out orders and it's ridiculously expensive. There entrees should be about $2 cheaper almost anywhere else. read more

I had the Szechuan chicken medium spicy....it was amazing. Really great place. I ate it and it was fine but this place is mostly a take out kitchen. Also the ingredients were very fresh, vegetables were diced artfully, and well prepared. The steamed rice was even noteworthy. read more

I ordered the Mongolian beef with a side of fried rice I had maybe an eighth of an ounce of beef (2 1/2 thin sliced strips) And about 1 to 1 1/2 cups onions... when I called to say something about it I was told that that is about the way their Mongolian beef comes... It shouldn't be called Mongolian beef when the main ingredients is onions... Where's the beef? How do I post pictures? read more

Chin Yuen - Mongolian beef - Chinese Near Me - Monticello, Minnesota

See all

I'm not entirely sure why they put onion in their wontons. Other than that the drive through is convenient and usually pretty quick.

Ordered to-go. This time it was nice and hot. Tried Beef and Broccoli and Sesame Chicken. For our app, we had Dumplings and Appetizer Assortment. What we have tried so far, we have not found greasy or bland. Order ready to pick up in 10 minutes. LOVE that I'm not super thirsty after an hour of eating their food. read more

I'm in Minnesota visiting from Seattle. Chin Yuen's wontons are easily the best I've ever had. The Midwest has it's own style of Chinese food that you can't get other places. We have amazing authentic Chinese food in Seattle - "Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant" in Chinatown is my favorite. Order the fish soup - but I also love Minnesotan Chinese. I just wish they had the chicken wings with oyster sauce and diced onion I remember from their restaurant in Elk River on highway 10. Favorites are Sichuan chicken and lo mein. read more

Very over priced. I got the chicken wings and some fried rice. Wings were greasy, fatty, cold, hardly edible. Fried Rice was just ok. Not worth the $7 though. read more

We live in Montrose and drive to Monticello. Best cheese wontons and love the spicy General Tso. Like that we can order off the menu and receive within 20 mins or get our hot meal from the glass buffet case and eat immediately. Very pleasant and friendly owner that remembers us each time. She also has her mother there and we have our live with us too. Keep up the good work and thank you. read more

This place used to be in the Motel across the street from where they are now. They closed up a few years ago and recently opened a much smaller place. The food is still wonderful, (the wontons are to die for, as is the sweet and sour sauce). I suggest ordering off the menu, although they do have an express counter. The owners and employees are all very friendly. read more

I have always been a big fan however, lately I have very disappointed. They seem to want to tell me how I like my food. I placed an order and requested it extra hot (I always order it this way) when I went to pick it up I was told they decided not to make it extra hot however, they would put some hot sauce on the side. I told them this how I always order it and when you add sauce that it was not cooked with it changes the flavor. Sorry, but I do not think that I will be back anytime soon. I would also have to warn people that you might not get what you ordered so be careful. read more
