[[HIGHLIGHT]]Small dinning space but nice decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Appetizer and entree with water, was $28 - Got the Beef and Garlic Sauce Combo entree which comes with fried rice and an egg roll, and soup. Would recommend and eat here again. read more

We have been coming here for 20+ years. It is our families favorite Chinese restaurant. I've moved around the cities and tried Chinese in all of them, and everything for me gets compared back to Yangs. It's comfort Chinese food to me. Beef lo mein is my ultimate go-to read more

I haven't lived in Minnesota in over 10 years and I still think about the sesame chicken here at least once a week. I'm not joking, I will think about it probably the rest of my life. read more

Yangs has been around a long time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They continuously update their dining area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I asked about their booths because the last time we went there the booth was very uncomfortable. We were there yesterday and the booth was comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The waitress told me that they send the booths out for repair as needed. The food was delicious. We had Pineapple Chicken and Beef Chow Fun. Both were excellent. We brought home some carryout Orange Chicken that was fantastic and their fried rice is very good. The weight staff is very nice. Their takeout business was very busy when we were there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food and nice atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great crispy orange chicken. Friendly staff. Fried rice not too good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are very very good. read more

A family favorite! I've never been here when there haven't been people lined up for carry out, so you know the food's good. I'll admit, I've ordered the exact same meal since I was a small child: sesame chicken and egg drop soup. The egg drop soup isn't the most flavorful (although it's high on my list of comfort foods, likely for nostalgia's sake) but the sesame chicken!! It's truly a feast for the senses: crunchy, sweet, spicy if you want it to be, with the most incredible glaze. The past few times I've been, the restaurant's been short staffed, so it's a good thing the food comes out fast! The seating area's small with the same decor and Chinese zodiac menus they've had for as long as I can remember. That may not impress some people, but I don't think any of that matters compared to the fond memories my family's made at Yang's. We're all proud to be loyal customers. read more

Yang's Chinese Restaurant - Egg Flower Soup - Chinese Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

See all

I was leaning towards 3 stars, but thought about their service and had to bump it up a notch. Yang's is a Woodbury staple. It's been around forever and has consistently been good. If you're craving Chinese food, and a step up from Panda Express, Yang's is the place to go! My go-to here is the sesame chicken. Typical breaded and fried chicken pieces but it is delicious! This time around, we ordered the cream cheese wontons, definitely will pass on those next time. Their service is great. Our server was so observant and filled our drinks quickly without us needing to even ask. She was attentive the whole time we were there. Their decor needs to be updated but that detail is minor! read more

Food was great. The egg rolls were yummy. Food was served hot. Service was prompt. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend! read more

Chicken egg fu young and ma po tofu are superlative. Sauces on both dishes are loaded with extra ingredients. No wonder there was a steady stream of to go customers. Next visit we will try chow fun and lo mein. If they are as good I'll move this place to the top of the Asian food list. read more

Absolutely phenomenal food. By far the best Chinese cuisine I've ever had. Crispy chicken, quality flavors, and great portions. Service was great too! Friendly staff and clearly family owned and oriented. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is outdated which adds charm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've seen reviews that the chicken is soggy and all of these other claims, that was definitely a bad visit. I've been here many times and this place is loved by my family. Amazing food, my favorite restaurant for sure. read more

O my it's tolerable, but it's not great food is most generally warm, not hot. I would not eat here if I had another choice.

Food here is always tasty. I love all the options of stirfry and veggies. Best Chinese food in the Woodbury area if you don't want to go to Saint Paul. read more

Battered chicken is delicious (sweet and sour & sesame), i recommend the chicken dishes. Beef fried rice was okay, the beef was gummy colored light gray. Their specialty fried rice was something i wish we never got, it was white rice with snap peas and 6 shrimps. Cream cheese wonton was good. read more

So I always come here. I always get the fried rice with onions and bean sprouts. Today I called and placed my order as I usually do. I'm in here once or twice a week. I get there to pick my order up and was told that theu do not have fried rice WITHOUT EGG. I said that's impossible. I always ALWAYS get that. I stated I always get onion and bean sprouts. No egg because I'm pregnant and can't stand it. I had to wait another 20mins for my order. I'm just getting home and trying to eat this rice. IT'S DISGUSTING!!!! HORRIBLE. NEVER HAD RICE LIKE THIS FROM THEM BEFORE. The onions and bean sprouts taste so weird that I had to spit it out and I vomitted. I'm not sure if they put egg anyhow. But they just lost a customer for good. Very strange that all of a sudden I have a bad encounter with their food. When I literally eat the same thing everytime from them. I will note that it was some younger men today and a woman I never dealt with before. But I won't be wasting my money here again. I'm so disappointed. read more

Unfortunately after coming here for 30 years, Something has changed. Our beloved sesame chicken was soggy and almost microwaved texture like tough and soggy at the ssme time. The phoenix was light in color and the cashews were soggy- old batch with different spices? Mushy. So sad! We drove an hour to go and then was essentially bitched out by the staff when we said we were disappointed. ​ read more

Had a craving for some Chinese food and this was close enough for carry-out. I heard the Sesame Chicken was the go to entree. Unfortunately, I wasn't super satisfied as it was very dry and the breading was really thick. I was happy with the size of the chicken wings and the meat was was juicier than the sesame chicken. The side of fried rice was ok. I showed up right when they said it would be ready and brought it right home to eat. I may try eating in the dining room next time to see if it is any better. read more

Yangs will always get my business for Chinese food in Woodbury. We had our usual: sesame chicken, pork fried rice, 2 egg rolls and cream cheese wontons. All if is was great and it took only 20-25 minutes for pick up. This place is always busy, the parking lot is packed but it's shared with multiple other businesses. Only downside is price but everything is expensive these days... read more

Went there today for take out and the food was amazing the staff is 1st Class.I had egg fooyoung chicken is was out of this world and I had the chicken chow mein too it's always great Thanks yangs I can hardly wait to go again read more

Yang's Chinese Restaurant - Chicken Egg Foo Young expertly made as always - Chinese Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

Woodbury remains a dead spot for Chinese food in my opinion. Based on the reviews and the fact they have been around for so long I had hopes it would at least be a 3 star experience I could make work for those nights I'm just craving Chinese takeout close by. Sadly it was not. I dined in on a Friday night with a handful of other folks scattered about the tables. I ordered the combination fried rice and the beef chow fun. I was really impressed when I saw the food as it had the look of quality Chinese food. Unfortunately that was where it ended. After a couple of bites of the fried rice I realized it lacked any real flavor and was mushy. I should have known from how mushy the side of white rice was. See uncle Rogers TikTok for the right way to make fried rice... "if it's soggy you #%*# up!" The beef chow fun had great texture and plenty of beef but had no flavor and I had to douse it with soy sauce and chili oil to make it palatable. The hunt continues for even mediocre Chinese in the new digs... read more

We love the food and have been regulars for years. BUT...in the past few months they raised their prices by nearly 40%.  We will not be back and told the manager so.  We won't tolerate price gauging. read more

The best and most authentic Chinese we've had in Woodbury thus far. A little confused about how to assemble the Chow Mein (came with a prepackaged pack of crunchy noodles on the side - normally used to the noodles being pre-cooked similar to a Low Mein), would not order that again. Everything else was A+ and we were thrilled to have plenty of leftovers for the next couple days! read more

I wasn't thrilled with my most recent experience! I called in an order, asked for Shrimp Lo Mein and Pork fried rice. He didn't ask what size I wanted. I just assumed they would give me a single order. Nope! I got THE most expensive one. When I picked it up, it was $34. When I got home, I realized the sizes were a pint and quart, and he somehow assumed I wanted $15 worth of fried rice. So learn from my experience! Specify your size or they're going to give you the most expensive one. Orrrrrrr...Yangs could just ask you to specify what size you want, and quit making assumptions. read more

When going for Chinese food, it's all about the food. Ordered take out with chicken chow mein, sweet and sour pork, fried rice and egg foo young. Everything came looking like it was scooped out of gelatinous tubs! The chicken chow mein was more like a celery stew with very little boiled chicken sprinkled on top. It was gross, and the plastic bag of crispy chow mein that you're supposed to sprinkle on it was flavorless. Everything else was the similarly poor. I was very disappointed. a waste of my hard earned money! read more

Had a bad experience a couple years ago dining in, but this place has come back to life again, to the point I'm eating here for sure twice a month!! Best two things in my opinion are Kong pow chicken, and sesame chicken . Don't recommend getting the egg rolls or cream cheese wontons because they're not good, but if you stick with sesame chicken and Kong Pow chicken, they're probably the best in the Twin Cities once again!! Both of those dishes are five out of five. Don't like that it's yet another Chinese restaurant that charges you for a credit card which seems to be a new standard at Chinese restaurants for some reason?? even though they're agreeing to the terms of the credit card machine and not supposed to charge extra. The charge is supposed to be on the business not the customer. read more

Yelp continues to befuddle me by not allowing half stars. Overall, I'd give Yang's a 3.5. We ate there at lunch. The place was packed and a number of people arrived to pick up takeout during our visit. Good signs. The restaurant was clean and the staff was attentive. Our waitress was good and made sure to repeatedly fill our water glasses throughout lunch. The menu is extensive. While the variety is nice and everything sounds good, I noticed most of the food coming out of the kitchen had the same appearance. After receiving our orders, I'd suggest the cooking style also makes the food have similar tastes too. The wonton soup was good. The hot and sour soup was also good. The soup arrived appropriately heated. I was disappointed that Egg Flower soup was not available at lunch. The meals were also good. The portion size was good and the quality of the ingredients were also good. Have you noticed the lack of the word "great"? I haven't used it; as nothing qualified as "great". Also, nothing qualified as "bad" or "poor". It was a nice place, with a good menu, good staff and good food. You could do worse. read more

Our fav Chinese place! Always good. Fair price. Speedy service. What's not to like???

service is ok but the 2 times I ate there, (and never again) the food was awful. Last wk I ordered shrimp w/vegs and it was as though all was placed in a bowl of hot water then served. Nothing but water, zero seasonings, spices, zero salt or pepper. And the food drowning in water, with a scoop of rice covered in soy sauce nothing else. bad read more

I had the Seasame chicken, and they asked what spice level I wanted. At medium, I enjoyed a nice low heat but the flavor of the sauce was just out of this world. The chicken was perfectly cooked. Further more, the wontons were unbelievably fresh even from takeout and the beef sticks are a must!!! They were incredibly busy in their restaurant, and were still able to get our order ready in less than 25 minutes. Incredible food, even better service. You have got to eat here. read more

Trying to find a good Chinese restaurant for a large family gathering, I was pointed in this direction to checkout Yang's. Wow, it's a traditional sit down, unpretentious but tidy family Chinese-style restaurant that cooks up traditional, hearty entrees for the residents of the East Metro. The massive takeout order was still hot when got it to the party, in spite of the 20 degree temperature. The stir fried vegetables were delicious and just the right crisp. The Singapore noodles had the right amount of curry. The old school egg foo yung and chow mein kept the old folks happy while the kids scarfed up the orange chicken. The fish entree was healthy. I want to return one day and sit in the dining room and have hot soup and lo mein. It looks like a calm place to eat Chinese comfort food in a sometimes uncertain world! read more

I got excited that this place would be very good because when I walked in there there was one couple at a table and just me at the front. Before I could even look over the menu, like 20 people come in, one or two at a time. I was like wow must be a great place. I ordered a combination that comes with sweet & sour pork, pork egg foo yung, and fries rice. I also ordered a side or wings. The sweet and sour pork was not sweet at all, it was very bland. The egg foo yung, although it is a patty which I appreciate, it was also bland. The fried rice was decent and the wings were what I would expect from a Chinese restaurant. I will give this place another try in the future and try a different meal. read more

Yang's Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

My elderly father has enjoyed this place's chowmein in the past so I picked up dinner here after calling it in 5 hours in advance (no option for online ordering). When I arrived at the scheduled time they had a hard time finding our order and then I waited 10 mins for it, fine. Got home and they missed an entire meal and instead gave me gross cream cheese wontons. Done well those are good but these were inedible. The rest of the food was not great and when my dad called to correct the order they were rude and refused to do anything, lying about what was ordered. They lost his business for life, subpar food and crappy service. Would not recommend l, there are better options in the area with superior customer service and food. read more

Amazing everything!!!! Never been disappointed with yangs ever. I probably get Yangs once or twice a month lol. Always great service and love the food. The chow main and sesame chicken is to die for and the egg rolls too! Always great service when dining in too. The atmosphere is chill and not loud. Very family friendly. 10stars in my book. read more

Yes, Yang's menu is pretty much a who's who of Americanized Chinese food. And truth be told, sometimes that's all you want (though I have yet to comprehend the Minnesotan obsession with the brown gravy/celery soup that gets called Chow Mein in these parts, but I digress). At times, Yang's delivers on these staples. I have had reasonably fine sesame chicken, Kung Pao chicken, etc. I've also had pretty lousy renditions of some of the same dishes from the same kitchen, and that's apparently where Yang's falters - consistency. At times, egg rolls and fried rice have been nothing but a synonym for salt, other times they've been fine. Also, while I always order everything as spicy as possible, I have brought home takeout that would be safe for even the most timid palate. All-in-all, Yang's prices are reasonable, service is friendly enough and take-out is fast, just keep in mind all the awards touting 'Best of' this and ''Best of' that on their walls are probably due in part to the lack of competition in the Woodbury area. read more

Yang's Chinese Restaurant - Kung pao chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Woodbury, Minnesota

As my name suggests, my one goal in life is to avenge the death of the Cleveland wok. I sat down in this restaurant and when they put that big ass plate of sesame in front of me I knew my work was done. This restaurant knows how to please its customers. All we wanted was a plate of sesame, and they delivered with the most obese plate of food I've ever seen. It brought tears to my eyes. The environment in the restaurant made me feel like I was at my Asian grandmothers house. Pretty expensive. 8.7/10 I am a lone monk walking the world with a leaky umbrella. mao tse-tung read more
