I don't understand why this restaurant only has 3 stars on Yelp. It's Good food and plenty of it at reasonable prices. The one complaint I have about them is that they package their to go orders in whatever box they can find lying around rather than have professional to go boxes printed. That doesn't present a very professional image. They really should rectify that! read more

From out of town, looking for some good food. I ordered from the senior menu and was disappointed. Didn't like the hot and sour soup. My sesame chicken was not what I expected. Just pieces of chicken in a batter and fried. Chicken fried rice was dry. Very noisy with the clearing of plates. Service was a bit slow but I think she was working by herself. Multi-tasking. My husband ordered Kung pao chicken and it had no peppers . He was very disappointed. read more

Best Chinese food in McMinnville. Yan's is a solid choice for good American Chinese cuisine with classic favorites, reliable flavors, and friendly service. read more

Been there many, many times. My eggs rolls were cold and had no taste. I mentioned it to the server who was very nice. Then the owner came over and instead of trying to keep a customer she told me if I was in an American restaurant I wouldn't have said anything. I cant believe she played the race card. I will never go back. read more

Best Chinese food I've had in the area! Amazing quality, very fresh, bigger portions than other places, beef and chicken were tender. Nothing but good things to say! We got broccoli beef and general tsos chicken. read more

We have Loved it for years! Great spot, always a hit. Big portions as well. Nothing fancy but hits every time

Can not seem to answer or hang up the phone, will leave you on hold for ever. Be aware they can not seem to keep consistent good staff around. read more

I've been to this place, the food had a very big large of selections, from chicken, to beef and everything between. Menu was very nice and big print. Service was very cheerful and happy to serve you, but my waiter disappeared, so I could hand her her tip. I like to tell the waiter how they did when I leave. (That way they can't spit in my food if it's a bad review,lol I jokes). The ambiance of the place was very comfortable and family oriented. I loved it. read more

The hot and sour is the best I have found in Oregon. I have went to a lot of places and it is great! The rest of the food is really good as well and I am happy it is so close to home. The only other place I really enjoy is in Portland. Nice to have a local go to Chinese food place. read more

If you are looking for authentic Chinese you will be disappointed. This is the Sysco version of Chinese food. No real fried rice, steamed and colored! The do have a bar and gambling, and is the only reason my adult family patronize this restaurant. Dirty - unorganized, Al read more

We started coming to Yan's about 5 years ago on a drive back from the coast. We live about 25 minutes away, but there's no decent Chinese restaurants in our town do every once in awhile we drive out to Yan's. We hadn't been there for awhile, but went out for lunch there today. As per usual the food came out hot and perfectly cooked. The batter on the sweet and sour pork is crispy and not greasy, and you get a lot of food for the money. Granted, it's Americanized Chinese food, but Yan's is always consistent with quality and service, and for us it's worth the drive. I give it 4.5 stars! read more

Over priced and sub par. The chicken lo mien came with sad ramen type super thin, string like noodles. The chicken fried rice had barely any chicken in it, the general tso chicken was sweet when we asked for it to be extra spicy and the sesame chicken was dry with no sauce on it. We also got bbq chicken that was the only good thing. Our order was $90. read more

First off I find it interesting that the highlighted negative reviews have authors whose "names" are two restaurants located just up the road. I digress, we love yans food. It's always fresh and yummy. Their special chow mein is a favorite of ours. Their pan fried noodle is my autistic son's favorite, though he has ventured I to other noodles and even ate a fried shrimp. If you have an chile who is a picky eater then you get how big a deal that is. My son has asked for them for dinner specifically. They have a large me u but from the various dishes we've tried, I would recommend it. 5 stars easy. read more

This place is really good. The food is big portions so if it's just you or you and a friend you can share a plate. The waitress was nice and sweet and checked on us a good amount of times. The restaurant was quiet and the temp was good. read more

The food was not good. We had takeout. I ordered the General Tso's chicken and it was half batter, which was essentially all I could taste. Worst General Tso's I have ever had. My mother ordered the #5 combo, the fried shrimp were 2/3rds batter and chewy skinny shrimp inside. Chow mein was 80% celery. read more

Wok right in! Yan's is a solid, generic Mandarin style (low/no spice, little rice) Chinese restaurant. For a small town, it's surprising good. Our family of four decided to give Yan's a chance. After living in McMinnville for about a year now, we've consistently heard that this is the better of the Chinese places in town. So we went in, expectations checked, and walked out generally pleased. The food was tasty and well presented (below-average by big city standards, above-average for small town ones). We had four vegetarian dishes--sweet and sour tofu; black mushroom with bamboo shoots; low mein; and meatless fried rice--and the fried crab puffs. They were good. The service was accessible, friendly and prompt. The dining area is generally clean (albeit outdated, tired). The price was fair (perhaps even a bit lower than we expected). Not bad! Whether just passing through town to visit Linfield or looking to try a new place nearby, I'd recommend Yan's. read more

Stay away!!!! Honestly I've traveled across the US and finding good quality food like this is rare! Not sure why this place has three stars but keep it that way so when I come there isn't a line, this place if phenomenal!!! Honestly 100% non bias review this is the best food in oregon. Mangolian chicken is perfect and always hot.. Service is always friendly but forget about that, the FOOD is to die for try it or don't I don't mind read more

They are a little slow to have the food ready when picking up, but it is so worth the wait! As they say. It's worth the wait for perfection. Everything was cooked perfectly! It is my favorite Chinese Restaurant! read more

We're Looking for a new Chinese food restaurant. The service is now the same as a fast food restaurant. I was charged for an entree when i order a side of green beans. Profits are the waitress' priority. The food has slipped and many details show cheapest ingredients are used. read more

The host was not polite. She took other people's orders instead of ours and we were seated first. Also, the chow mein didn't even have noodles. It was just veggies. Maybe we didn't understand how to order but she could've explained. However the food I got was at least fresh, hot and what I did try had good flavor. Which is why I'm giving a 3 star. read more

Food was great. The only thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was when our server told us to tip our other server in a rude way when we weren't even done paying yet. read more

Yans has been my number 1 choice for over 15yrs but tonight was the 1st time I've ever been disappointed. The potsticker sauce tasted rancid, and I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and it's usually large chunks of chicken but this time it was pebble sized chicken and barely any sauce. Maybe an off night, but definitely not the food/quality we're used too. read more

Been eating here for a for years now. Absolutely love the salt and pepper shrimp (shell on), MaPo Tofu (you can taste and feel the Szechuan pepper) and general Tsao's chicken (crispy, tangy, great spice). Excellent fresh and also the type of Chinese food that tastes better as leftover chop suey. Only drawback is that they are usually short staffed, the past few times times I've gotten takeout I was told 20 mins but had to wait 40 or 60 for my food. When this happens all the crispy food ends up mushy. So 4 stars. Fix the timing and you're 5. read more

Place used to be great. I have been ordering food from them over 15 years. First they removed the soup from the to go menu. Then also the cream puffs were removed. It just keep going down hill. Today I ordered to go and no sauces where there. Chili oil or sweet and sour sauce. read more

Had to wait 40 minutes for shrimp despite ordering ahead of time and they messed up the shrimp and didn't cook it with shell like I asked too. read more

Yan's is good for convenient take out for my family, but not if you're in a hurry. So far I've made 2 advance orders that weren't ready until well after the time quoted. read more

We eat at Yan's quite often and have always enjoyed it. This time my husband ordered Szechuan Chicken and found the sauce so salty he could only eat a few bites. He ended up throwing it out. We were eating our meal at home. Not sure if we'll be back. read more

I ordered 30 minutes before picking up, and when I go there had to wait another 10 minutes for the food. It was hot though, even after driving another 25 minutes home to Sheridan, but overall we we aren't impressed with the taste or the quantity. read more

I moved to Newberg 3 1/2 years ago. Yens is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area and worth driving to McMinville for.

Nothing to write home about. Fairly fresh but flavorless. Sparsely attired fried rice, even soy couldn't save it. Tasted like frozen shrimp and tough pre frozen spring rolls. Not inclined to ever return. read more

This restaurant was recommended by friends and we hesitated because the Yelp reviews weren't great. However, compared to Chan's this restaurant is very good. The service is excellent and the food for four of us was found to be tasty, fresh and well seasoned. The review would have been higher but the bathrooms weren't clean and that, for me, is a clue as to how clean the kitchen might be. We will be back and probably close our eyes if we have to use the bathroom. (;^) read more

The food is great and the Kung po was the best I have ever had. The coconut chicken is a must try it's sweet so I couldn't eat much at one time. A good amount of food for what you pay. The service was friendly and helpful. Went at dinner time they were busy but didn't have to wait long. Didn't wait long for the food to start coming either. read more

Made fresh, great value (portion:price ratio), nice selection, fast service, friendly staff, delicious food. Highly recommend.

We didn't go to Yan's for years because I had a lousy dinner there a long time ago. Our neighbor asked us to meet her there for dinner, so we did. It was pretty dang good! We've been back 3-4 times now, and went again this evening. The service is good, the food is hot and fresh. We have no complaints. We will continue to go back without hesitation. I hope that some of the other people that posted bad reviews will try it one more time. We enjoyed coconut chicken, Mongolian beef, and the Special Sizzling Platter this evening, and it was all so, so good! read more

This place used to be Golden Corral then Sizzler's then Oriental Garden and finally Yan's so you know I have going here for a long time. The lunch special I ordered was to be Sweet and Sour Chicken with Chicken Cow Mein and Fried Shrimp but I wound up with Sub Gum Chow Mein instead. The tea was very lacking in flavor and the hot mustard just isn't. The staff seems to wish they were somewhere else and the quality has gone way downhill since before the Covid lockdown. Do not go here for dinner unless you like to pay a lot more for their mediocre offerings. Sadly McMinnville is not the place to find decent Chinese style food anymore. read more

Not very good, but at least it was expensive. The soup was good, the cashew chick was passable, but the Mongolian beef was mostly Mongolian onions with very little beef, and I'm sorry but those were the absolute worst egg rolls I've every had, and that includes a batch of inedible, 10 year old, freezer burned ones I had once pulled from the bottom of the deep freezer. read more
