I hadn't been here in years until this afternoon when I stopped in for lunch. It looks the same as it did 20 years ago: vintage, lots of wood carved details and nice and clean. I ordered the Mongolian beef lunch special ($11.95 11am-3pm). It came with hot and sour soup, steamed rice, and fried wontons and it was delish. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Always great food and fresh. Love this restaurant. It is a regular stop for us. I like the Sechuan Chicken and my husband likes the seafood items. Lunch special is excellent. read more

I visited here with my husband after being invited by an acquaintance while staying in Stockton. Our group totaled seven people, so we opted for the dinner set menu for eight people (Set Menu E) priced at $160. We also ordered fried green beans and zucchini, calamari, and tea for two. The portions were very generous--our table was completely full, and even with seven people, we couldn't finish everything. Honestly, the appetizers felt unnecessary. As for the taste, everything was decent but fairly average, and nothing really stood out. The tea was disappointing; it was extremely diluted, almost like plain hot water. One positive moment was the sizzling rice soup presentation, which was nicely done and enjoyable. The dining room was comfortable, and the staff member working that night was polite, though service was minimal overall. Gratuity was already included in the final bill. Not a bad experience, but also not particularly memorable. read more

i always used to make jokes about how this restaurant is yen du's (another local chinese food restaurant) cousin. after trying it i can confirm they are very very similar. the menus look identical. my most favorite yen du menu items are the spicy green beans. they're literally perfection and i could eat them every day. a lot of other chinese restaurants don't have spicy green beans and if they do (or if you get green beans and ask them if they can make it spicy) they will give you normal green beans with some chili flakes or jalapeños. the reason why i love these and yen du's are because these are in a sauce. these ones were great, but yen du's sauce is slightly spicier so i prefer theirs even though i wouldn't say either of the sauces are actually spicy. the mongolia beef texture here was great. yen du's can be chewy and not in a good way. i definitely prefer yen chings texture but yen du again has better flavor with more spice. th eggrolls were so good. i have no idea what's inside them but it's so soft and melts in your mouth. they're addicting to eat and i could easily eat 10 if they gave you that many. the chow mein was also great. super flavorful and a must get at any chinese restaurant. a staple comfort food. we opted to go here instead of yen du because yen du's phone says it's "busy". you can and it immediately says busy no matter what. because of this, we chose to go here because their phones actually work and we weren't disappointed. the staff was friendly and we didn't have to wait too long for our food after calling. everything was still hot even after stopping to pick up a fb marketplace find before heading home. read more

Good food chow mein and sweet and sour pork and overall good experience was clean and nice however the staff who doesn't really speak English was really rude to a senior customer with an air tank. He said sternly "busy no no" she and her husband just barely walked in and he said it again and dismissed them. They said I guess we're not welcome here. It was so sad. No sorry, or anything shooed them away. I understand it's a busy holiday but the other staff could've interjected and assisted because they spoke English just fine. Poor service there. read more

Best hot and sour soup ever. Food is good and prepared fresh . Very good customer service ever.

I have been going to Yen Ching for more than 30 years. The staff and the owners have always been great. Friendly helpful service where they have made me feel at home. The food is consistently good and I have never had a bad dish. read more

Their hot & sour soup is my favorite. When I feel under the weather that's where I go. Their Mongolian beef is really delicious too! You have to give this place a try. read more

Wonderfully authentic decor and color scheme, clean seating and tables, quiet, authentic music, good lighting - all before you get your food. Sweet and sour pork is perfectly seasoned. The mongolian beef wasn't spicy as advertised, but good flavor. My wife enjoyed her chicken chow mein. All freshly made entrees. Prices equitable to other restaurants. Good service. Highly recommended. read more

take out order. had chicken chow mein and house chicken mild. chow mein was not as good as yen du's.. do not know what chow mein eas a bit spicy. never had spiciness in chow mein. house chicken has always been a family favorite. when in Stockton, yen du or yen Ching house chicken is onour table. another family favorite is the sizzling rice soup. braised pork also a plus. read more

Well, surrounded by high-end stores, you think it would be a pretty decent restaurant and you think they could at least clean the windows or the tables maybe run the air conditioner because it is still hot outside and now inside which is hot and humid! I had to ask to clean our table because it looked like it was wiped down with what seemed like a greasy McDonald's rag the way they wipe down the tables at the McDonald's Drive-in my kids told me dad don't make a scene so I told her can you please wipe down this greasy table no apology or nothing just wiped it down. It was still greasy. I said can I have some extra napkins now, please so I can dip my napkin in my glass of water and thoroughly clean the table. Trust me. I'm easily pleased. Just feed me good and I'll take care of you with a good tip. You could ask all the restaurants that I eat at we asked for kimchi it never showed up till after our plates of food showed up and my daughter said I don't wanna make a scene but I'm gonna ask for my kimchi when we got the kimchi. It was sweet and bland colored not impressed at all. OK let's talk about the food. We talked about the ambience which really took away the fun of eating there. The food was OK. My daughter said "it's like Yen Du', we came here because Yen Du' was on vacation. Boy were we disappointed, the food was subpar it was a decent portion, no more, no less than the competitors in the area. So I got my bill then the waiter comes and tells me we are already included the tip. I looked and I said OK thank you because I would've paid you a lot better tip and I wrote that on the receipt. Will I come here again? Probably not oh and plastic on the seats really? Supposed to be a kind of a nicer restaurant. Can we not do that? read more

Food was sub par, the service was not attentive and the tip is already included on the tab which isn't right.. what if you don't deserve a tip? Anyways we asked for kimchi and it never came out until the end of our meal when we asked for it again. They also didn't refill any waters for my group. Food did come out relatively fast but other than that I won't come here again. Save for money and calories. read more

Just had lunch there today. My wife is a chow mein snob. She was very happy with the chicken chow mein. I had the Special beef also very good. Service was attentive and helpful. Both items were on the special luncheon menu. Both were excellent and a great value for the price especially in today's economy. Very pleasant experience. Will be back soon. read more

The food is always freshly made and service is quick and efficient. A great place to meet for lunch,

I've eaten at many Chinese restaurants throughout my year, nastiest food ever. Rice was tasteless and the 2 other main dishes were so salt. soup was okay but more vegetables than wontons. wouldn't recommend this place at all. my bill was $67 for 4 items. Nothing specia. read more

Service is mid at best. Hardly check on you and the wait in an empty restaurant was crazy our food took forever and we only ordered three things. The food was also not great it was just okay in my opinion. The garlic fried chicken lacked flavor. The chow mein was salty and the sweet and sour pork was way too sweet and very chewy. If I'm craving yen Ching style food I'm driving to Lodi they are way better read more

The service and the food are always good. Never had a problem and the food is greatI would love to know how they keep their food HOT!!!

This is my Go-To-Chinese restaurant in Stockton. I typically don't care for restaurants in the Valley. One, because I'm a Bay Area girl. Two, because there aren't really any good restaurants. But when I'm craving Chinese, New Yen Ching hits the spot. The owner is always kind. And whether I order to go or come in for a family meal, the food is ALWAYS FRESH!!! I'll never go anywhere else in Stockton. New Yen Ching is the BEST!!! read more

We stopped in for the lunch special for our first time today and WOW I wish we tried them sooner! Hot and sour soup had so much flavor and i don't usually enjoy it but they had such depth, it was delicious! I ordered the house chicken lunch special and my wife ordered the twice cooked pork! Both of them were SO delicious. The meat was tender, veggies still had a crunch and both sauces were flavorful and stood on their own! I honestly can't wait to try something else! The service is fast and she is so sweet and the restaurant itself is very clean! read more

My family and I order from here at least twice a month! The food is delicious and always fresh! Our go to's are chow mein, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, orange chicken, Mongolian beef. Whenever we eat inside the service is always great and well attended. The food always comes out hot and they are always checking if you need anything. The restaurant isn't huge but it's decorated nicely and they have tables for larger parties. The prices are amazing and something you can't beat! I recommend the lunch menu great value! read more

My bf and I go here at least once a month. It's always hot and delicious. I don't think I've had anything bad here. My only complaint is table cloths have stains on some tables and bathroom could use a major upgrade. But this is def one of my favorite Chinese food spot in Stockton. read more

BEWARE THEY CLOSE AT 7pm YOU WILL BE TURNED AWAY IF YOU TRY TO ORDER OR TRY TO BE SEATED. We forget why we don't go here and then quickly are reminded why we don't give this place our business. Foods decent but you better show up at 4pm or 5pm. We have seen many families be turned away at 7:15pm, 7:25pm and so forth. TO THE OWNER: We completely understand wanting to get home, so all we ask is you follow YOUR ADVERTISED HOURS. Of course there is the chance you do change your closing hours and still follow your bad business practice. Orders should still be taken until 8pm and 7:30pm is still your regular OPEN business hour. We really wanted to like this place, but we'll pass. read more

Had a family lunch of 11and the service was super quick and the server attended to our needs. The ambience was really nice. Didn't have to wait at all to get seated.

New Yen Ching Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Stockton, California

The food was AMAZING! I'm disappointed in myself for not knowing this sooner. I frequent this shopping area at least once a week. I've seen this place but never thought to go in. Well I'm glad I did. I got three lunch plates to go, the Mongolian beef, house chicken and kung pao chicken. Everything was delicious the beef was super tender and well seasoned, the house chicken was crunchy and lightly sauced to the point where it wasn't over bearing and drowning the meat. It was perfect! The kung pao chicken was tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned. I've definitely found my new go to spot. It was reasonably portioned and the quality was spot on for me. I usually go to Yen Du but this is closer to me and better. read more

Been eating here for almost 40 years, great food, great service! I hope to dine here for a very long time.

I had been wanting to try this place for some time now and today I finally did. The food was very good, I can't wait to come back. Next time I'll be sure to get pictures of the dishes. Recommended: Sizzling Rice Soup House Chicken and the potstickers, all tasted fresh and delicious. The ambiance is nice and serene pair that with some good food and it makes for a perfect low-key date. read more

I hadn't been here for a minute and tonight I was reminded why...I'm bummed to say it but I've been disappointed on my last couple of visits. I ordered takeout for dinner-house chicken, steamed rice and pot stickers. The pot stickers were great and easily the best part of the meal. However, the steamed rice and house chicken were unimpressive. I know, how can you screw up steamed rice, right? But it wasn't even warm and didn't seem fresh. The house chicken also didn't seem fresh but rather like it had been sitting for awhile, was kind of dry and it just didn't taste the same as it has in the past. It's not as though they were busy either because it was almost empty when we ordered our food. Service was friendly enough but their food just doesn't do it for me anymore. Suggestions anyone??? read more
