    Chicken and Shrimp in a garlic or Szechuan sauce... (ordered garlic) carryout on a plate at home
    Susan S.

    I used to frequent this restaurant when I traveled between Ann Arbor and the Toledo area, but hadn't been there recently. It had been very good to excellent. The only reason I hadn't been back sooner is simply logistics. The other day I was passing through Dundee and decided to order carryout for two. When I placed my order by phone, I explained that I was still in Ann Arbor and the person who answered graciously said she would hold the order before submitting it. Great! I had ordered two entrees of Shrimp, Scallops and Chicken with garlic sauce. The tricky part is that the restaurant has an entree of Beef, Shrimp and Chicken with a garlic sauce and my order which substituted Scallops instead of Beef normally would come with a spicy Szechuan sauce. When I picked up my order, the restaurant was pretty crowded and tastefully decorated as I remembered from previous visits. I think something may have been lost in translation because I realized once home that our entrees consisted of Shrimp and Chicken- no Scallops- in a spicy sauce that I'm not sure if was Szechuan or garlic. While the entrees didn't have Scallops (or Beef), there was no extra Shrimp or Chicken to make up for lacking the third meat that would normally be part of the entrees. Whether they were out of Scallops or simply omitted Beef, the meat wasn't that generous. Also, there was a lot of sauce (since I didn't want to complicate the order by ordering less sauce). I found the sauce more spicy than my personal taste, though my mom found it perfect. I would definitely return to this restaurant and be more specific and make sure there was a mutual understanding of the order. Since the restaurant isn't located close to home, I'm not sure when I might be back but would recommend it if you're in the Dundee MI area. Below is a picture of a plate of the entree received at home.

    Stopping here for Christmas dinner while traveling to Michigan is becoming a new tradition. Most everything else is closed. Great food, fast service and very friendly staff make it a great stop. Portions are large enough to split too.

    Im not usually one to complain but after paying $17 for an order of general tsos chicken with white rice and a drink, I was expecting a lot more than very chewy chicken that is barely coated in the sauce. Not a single piece was actually coated in sauce it was just a little bit on each piece with all the sauce at the bottom of the container. Imagine you were going to make your own general tsos chicken but you fell asleep after you fried the chicken and it was sitting on the counter for a few hours so you put in in the microwave and throw it on top of warm sauce. Very chewy and old tasting and they didn't toss it in the sauce at all maybe one lazy toss. I'm actually super disappointed and this is hands down the worst general tsos chicken I've ever had. Absolutely no effort was put into making this dish which is crazy because I feel like this is the most simple and easy thing to make at a Chinese restaurant. It's just chicken and sauce like how can you mess up that bad?? Panda Express orange chicken is 100x better than this. Also keep in mind they said it would take 15 minutes to make as I was already about 15 minutes away so it's not like it was sitting there for long at all plus the restaurant wasn't even that busy. NO EXCUSE for this lazy behavior.

    Szechuan combo-omitted green peppers and added broccoli..

    We're from Columbus area and though there's a lot of Chinese places it's hard to find a gem like this. Small family owned traditional Chinese restaurant with AMAZING food! Everything we ordered was excellent! Didn't take pics of soup and dumplings but all were great. It looked as if only 2 people were working but they both hustle so show them some grace and don't be in a huge rush.. Enjoy!

    Combination dish with general tsao and chicken and vegetables

    My wife and I were in Dundee at the local winery and decided we wanted some Chinese for dinner. We went to Chinese Sizzling because the other Chinese restaurant close by didn't have dine in service. We both ordered combination dinners. I had the almond boneless chicken and szechuan beef. She had chicken and vegetables and general tsao. The meals came with a soup and egg role or crab Rangoon. Both dishes were huge and flavorful. We both had two meals each from our dishes. I will definitely be back.

    There are a few things that one should note right off the bat:…read more 1) Ypbor Yan moved buildings a couple of years ago, so old reviews that discus the interior space are very much outdated. 2) Their new sign reads Ypbor FM as they have a *F*ood *M*useum in the entry way, but the "museum" is both easy to overlook and certainly not the main draw of the business. 3) Look at the most popular dishes on Yelp and take many of the reviews with a few grains of salt. Why? This is a Sichuan restaurant, and while they may offer sweet and sour chicken, almond boneless chicken, and whatever other American-Chinese dishes you fancy, those in the know come for the distinctive numbing ma-la spice of the region. Southeast Michigan, being in the midwest, is generally lacking in really traditionally fiery foods. As such, Ypbor was such a delightful change of pace I was tempted to give the place five stars. However, that desire was really about the cuisine and not the execution. The food is good to be sure, I'm going to return again and again, but there are definitely elements that are lacking. While I do not want to linger on the negative, the noodles could be improved, the dan-dan was super wet and more like a soup, and while the salt miner's chicken was fine and I'm glad I tried it once, it's decidedly not a must order dish. That said, the Sichuan poached fish is great. I was also absolutely charmed by the Spicy Chinese Broccoli in a Wok, which while under the vegetable section contains a generous amount of sliced pork belly. Part of the charm was that this was not the "Chinese Broccoli" I was expecting. The broccoli itself was more like traditional broccoli, but white in color. Flavors, textures, and heat were all fantastic. The menu is long, and I'm looking forward to exploring more of it. Perhaps there is a way to make a 5* meal from the options, and nothing would make me happier than to share that with you all at some point down the road. Until then, I recommend checking out the newer, cleaner, friendlier Ypbor, and getting outside of your comfort zone with trying legit Sichuan foods. Just remember, everything is intended for family style eating, so one entree for every two people is plenty. Leftovers are fine, but this food is always better when it's freshly prepared, as opposed to traditional "Chinese Takeout" which some might argue was never really all that great in the first place.

    Hats off to the Ypsi food scene. There are plenty of good restaurants in Ypsi and Ypbor Yan is no…read moreexception. Phenomenal authentic Chinese cuisine; they have a Chinese-American menu too, but I highly recommend that you order off the authentic Chinese menu. I had a fantastic bowl of hot & sour soup along with pork in fish-fragrant sauce and stir-fried Chinese broccoli. The pork was outstanding and contrary to its name, fish-fragrant sauce does not contain any fish; it is a sweet, sour and spicy sauce which gives the sauce its name. And Chinese broccoli is one of my favorite veggies; or the greens were so vibrant. Great hot and sour soup and pot of hot tea too! This restaurant is so clean and welcoming! I am adding this establishment to my rotation and will return soon!

The guy "tag-teamed" his wife to come out of the kitchen and bicker with me, right in front of multiple other customers, when I "dared" to speak up about their tone and attitude, then repeatedly pointed to a sign on the wall that said "we match your energy" (AKA: "we reserve the right to be total a****les for any and all perceived slights, real or imagined") when I had the "audacity" to complain about how they spoke to me and my dad on the phone and in-person. They were furious that my elderly dad was "taking too long" to place his order for four people (he was not, at all) and acting like it's somehow our fault that they only have a single phone line. Give me a break (take-out only establishment, by the way). They then proceeded to promptly cancel my dad's order and shoo me out, all the while cussing at me in Mandarin, at which point I walked out of there (for the last time). You would do well to AVOID this place at all costs, trust. Not to mention, I've had their food more than a few times before, and it is not even NEARLY good enough to justify them being this nasty towards their patrons. Their offerings are the very definition of "sodium-infused slop" and "mediocre at best" and they act like we are lucky to be allowed to purchase them. What a joke! Do yourself a HUGE favor (like I did) and pay a little extra for a place with WAY better people and service, and MILES better quality food, places such as Shangri-La (amazing!), for example. Never, ever again. You have been warned!
