Had lunch, really good hot and sour soup..pieces of pork and large shrimp (cut the shrimp into smaller pieces). Mongolian beef was really good, best around here, and I've tried quite a few places. Service was spot on. Nice clean restaurant with a large aquarium, nice touch. read more

Everything is super tasty! Every piece of food has its own flavor but is tasty, no flavor overlaps another one, they just go all well together, the price is good and very worth it!! The employees are very welcoming, the owner is really sweet!! Very attentive The place is friendly, calm, very relaxing and enjoyful overall. read more

I've been going to this restaurant since the 1980s. They've got the same waiter there (Dave) it has been there for 20+ years. Their prices are a lot higher than other local Chinese restaurants. If you go there 30 minutes before closing and you don't finish eating, you'll get kicked out. I got there 20 minutes before their lunch break and exactly break time they threw me out of the restaurant. Dave made me leave and I hadn't finished my lunch. I'm never going back to that place. The restaurant still looks like it did in the 1980s they haven't changed any decor at all. It has that old musty smell from the 1980s. read more

The service was horrible. The food was substandard Porter, dubola, hot and sour soup. That was a worse I had ever had. It was unedible in plain to the waiter. He did not care at all. He said hello read more

Food is outstanding. I recommend the sesame chicken and the pork lo mien. They refill the drinks before they are empty and service is top notch. My grandkids love watching the fish in the fish tank. Love this place. read more

Great service, good cocktails, amazing potstickers from scratch, interesting takes on some dishes i tried like the lemon fish and their egg foo yung, different than ive had but very tasty, great place for family style dining. read more

I ordered a to go pick up order from Yen Ching last night. I wasn't feeling well and didn't want to cook and I really wanted the Egg Flower soup for my stomach. I ordered from their online menu and when I paid, the bill was significantly more than I expected. Because I was sick I did not take the time to go over the receipt while I was there and just wanted to get home. I checked the prices this morning and EVERY ITEM was different from their menu prices according to the paper menu they gave me with my order. It was a difference of almost $10! I called the restaurant just a little while ago and he said that yes, they were aware of it and that those prices were about 10 years old and he didn't know why "they" hadn't fixed it yet. So, BUYER BEWARE!! The gentleman I spoke with made no offer to make it right or to adjust the total on my next order. Poor business practice to say the least. I would normally give them a higher rating but because they were aware of the issue and have made NO ATTEMPT to correct the site or to adjust my bill in any way, I gave them only a two star rating. They are knowingly taking advantage of people who order from their online menu and they should ask people when they place an order if that's what they are using and if so, inform them that those prices ARE NOT accurate. read more

The food was really good! I had the Almond chicken and the sweet and sour Chicken was also good highly recommend this place

No stars, went in sat down gave us menu didn't even ask for our drink order. Came back took my daughter's drink order which by the way they only have Coke and Sprite. Then left came back and coke was disgusting. He went to check out 2 more people and never came back to take our order. So yes I was upset, got up and left. Don't recommend. read more

Horrible service. After eating I was having tea with my friend for 10 min and a tall man came over and said "you need to leave" I a very loud/aggressive way. There was no one waiting in the lobby and there were plenty of open tables. We had lunch at 4:30p and are 2 elderly ladies, so it's not like we were there beyond closing or causing a ruckus. It was embarrassing and highly disappointing. The food was sub par as well, but it is the service that will keep me from going back. read more

Excellent food, with delicious plant-based options, really nice atmosphere and great service. Definitely becoming a regular customer!

I have been here multiple times and every time is a great experience. The best Chinese food I have ever had, the egg rolls and fried rice are amazing. The service is great and super friendly, and always quick. I love coming here, would highly recommend. read more

I gave 1 star because the egg drop soup is the only thing this place has that is edible. I ordered lemon chicken, there was no natural lemon flavor in the dish at all. All food coloring and artificial lemon flavor. I pulled the breading apart with my fingers and they are stained from all the food coloring in the dish. I did say I didn't like it and they took 50% of my bill. I won't be going back. read more

This place has been the same owner for years! I was recently turned onto this place by Dr. Michael Kenney who owns Kenney Chiropractic on Power Rd about a block away. He suggested the lunch menu and I ordered the spicy Kung Pao shrimp. The owner herself was taking our order and managing the restaurant. The restaurant, while a little dated looking, was very well kept and clean. The food came out quickly and it was tasty! I ordered a Mongolian beef to go for my co-worker who also enjoyed his food. I am on a contract that will keep me in this area for a year so I'll be back! read more

Quality has fallen off over the past 15 years. Not just food, but the service as well. This used to be my go-to spot for Chinese food. Last time I was there, the cook and manager were arguing very loudly. The restaurant smells strange in general. Pro tip: check the silverware. Every time I've gone at least 3 pieces of silverware hasn't been walked properly. Restrooms are messy every time I have visited the restaurant. With standards falling lower with every year, I just have to stop paying them for poor service and mediocre food. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Good food and great service. Clean and relaxing environment. Our first time there and we will go back

Delicious! Have been going here for 20 years and we love it! The food is authentic, we love the pot stickers and Mongolian beef!

I love yen ching! Mongolian chicken, sweet and sour shrimp, egg rolls, shrimp fried rice, garlic shrimp and egg drop soup are some of my faves. I've been a customer for 15 years now. The only thing I wish they would do is do some redecorating. I think that would help boost their business. All in all their food is delicious! Best Chinese food in Mesa. Must try! read more

Called to order an egg fried rice as I was visiting Banner Baywood and it was right around the corner. Paid $14 even and the fried rice was tasteless, I tasted a brunt taste . Rice is over cooked and a bit soggy like they heated the rice over and over again. Kinda like a Panda Express fried rice taste. Very old ambience to the restaurant and not welcoming at all. read more

Came here for the first time a few months ago and the service was great. Even left with a bag of tea and left a tip in cash. Came in today and the food was completely off, the service was even worst. Was the same two people as the first time and after not getting the service we expected, we ended up leaving early instead of eating the off tasting food. Went to pay the bill and notified the main waiter of the bad service and his response was completely appalling. He stated "your service was bad this time because you no leave tip last time." Like "WHAT!?" Who does that!? We indeed left a tip last time & the fact that this guy felt so comfortable saying this in front of the entire restaurant very loud? We spoke to him in a low volume to be discreet, to voice our concerns! And he still wanted us to tip again! Never coming back to this establishment. Food is overpriced and tastes like something heated up. Tried to give it a second chance. Not worth it. If I could give 0 stars, I would. read more

Went in on Thursday and parked at about 3:20pm. Upon arriving though, I checked on Yelp and it said on their business page that they were open now, and that they were open on that day until 9pm. We called on our way, since I do live a bit far and we wanted to make sure it was open, but nobody answered. We parked and this place was empty. The parking lot has pot holes and the street is very uneven. It looked a bit sketchy. We walked up to the door and we were shocked to see that it was closed. UGH WUUUT. The sign said they didn't open till 4:30pm. Ughhhhhhh. I wanted to wait but my stomach refused. I was starving so we went somewhere else. Oh well. They need to definitely change their business hours online or get better at answering their phone! Okay rant over. read more

Service, food quality, atmosphere, 10/10. Me and my wife live an hour away and the drive is always worth it.

Tonight we enjoyed our New Years dinner at our favorite restaurant and as we were waiting up front to be seated (they were very busy), a woman walked out and told us "don't bother" (I think she just left the recent one star review) but our food was fantastic tonight and I'm glad we "bothered" to come! It did take a little longer than normal to get the food but they had a ton of to-go orders & the restaurant was fairly full when we sat down. It is a holiday so we expected to have a little more of a wait than normal. We always get the sesame chicken and crab puffs when we go and have never been disappointed. Both of our families (mine & my boyfriends) have been coming to Yen Chings since we were kids and we never have had any complaints! read more

I honestly cannot express how amazing this place is! Mr.David congrats on being the main person running it and always being so attentive! Great costumer service: in 8 years going here, I've not once had an issue. It's always been friendly, casual, and somewhat soothing to have dinner here. I love the food, it has a very delicious taste! I normally have huge reviews to provide, but I cannot begin to express how everything is just right in Yen Ching! keep up the great work and doing your best, a paint job and outside decor could help. But overall 10/10. Waiting time to be seated 0-10 mins at most. Food taste: 20/10 Service: 10/10 unless the man running it is helping then I'd say 20/10! read more

Maybe I'm just a sucker for places that look like they're stuck in the 80's but I love love love the decor. It felt 80's fancy, with the fish tank, and white seats, it was chefs kiss. The food was reasonably priced for the portions. Please give me all the MSG - it's more authentic. The sesame chicken was lightly breaded and crispy, hot in the center like Takoyaki - so delish. Egg rolls were amazing - especially with their signature house hot mustard and sweet sour sauce. Also had some chicken lo mein which wasn't overly greasy like some places. The wait staff was really nice. Would go again and again. read more

Food was amazing!! Every time I visit family in Mesa we alway make a stop here. The hot and sour soup are a must when you visit.

***buyers beware, don't waste your time or money*** the service is a joke! pandas food is way better!! the male server in his own words on why we were treated like sh*t " leave a better tip if we want better service " read more

This used to be our go to for Chinese food. However, it has become the one place we will never go to again! We ate there tonight, and service was horrible. It took forever for our egg rolls to come out, and our dinner came out before we were finished with the egg rolls. Another couple came after us, and they must be regulars, because the waiter fawned all over them, and their egg rolls and entree came out BEFORE ours. We will not go back and we will discourage anyone we know from going there as well. read more

This is the best Chinese food in Arizona! My family and friends have been frequenting Yen Ching since moving to AZ 20 years ago. The food is scrumptious, the services is excellent. You can't go wrong with Yen Ching. read more

Ordered via DoorDash. Safe to assume that of a restaurant is listed there, allows you to pick items AND check out and pay that they do business with door dash. Placed an order at 7 and was notified at 7:47 that it was cancelled in house. Called them to see what happened and I'm give them sorry ass excuse that "they don't have the door dash app" Sounds alot like they didn't realize they had a pending order and now it's closing time and they won't complete it. TERRIBLE service. read more

Yen Ching has the best Chinese food in Az. My family has been coming here for over 20 years. We now live in North Phoenix and drive 45 minutes to go every few weeks because it's that good! Some dishes that we get every single time are egg rolls, crab ranguines, and the kung pao shrimp are our absolute favorites but lots of other delicious items! They serve a tea with the meal and it's such a nice touch. Also david remembers practically everyone I bring in and always greets us with a smile! We love this place and have come here for lots of special meals. read more

Two of us arrived at about 1 pm. The parking lot was full. Walked inside to nobody at the desk. There wasn't a sign staying "seat yourself", so we waited. There were two servers helping people, and they both made eye contact with us, yet nobody acknowledged us. We waited about 5 minutes, then left. Had someone just acknowledged us, that would have been fine, we would have waited. On a side note, the metal stapler at the front desk is beige, and it is filthy. If they can't clean often-used items, I have to wonder about the cleanliness of the rest of the place read more

I order the combination chow mein with extra broccoli and egg rolls...these are my go to!!

The lunch specials here are really good! I came to YenChing intending to get an early dinner, and didn't even realize they had lunch specials. I also didn't realize they are closed for a short while between lunch and dinner so it's a good thing I came in when I did and caught the tail end of lunch (ends at 2:30...I think they reopen at 4:30 for dinner). With the exception of a few things most lunch specials are $8.95. That includes soup of the day (we had egg drop), a crab puff, and a chicken wing. None of it will blow you away but it's all solid and quite a bit of food to start your lunch with. They also have complimentary hot tea. I like when Chinese restaurants do that. I got the tofu/bbq pork family vegetable dish. It was really good! It came with only a few thinly sliced pieces of pork, but it was still good. The brown garlic sauce was delicious! It also came with fried rice. Our server was VERY friendly. I'd definitely come back here for lunch when I'm in the area. read more

Horrible. Rice was over cooked. Pricing was high for this shit. Sorry. Never write reviews but damn.... I'd rather eat at Panda Express !!! Seriously. Want great Chinese food ? Go to FLO's. You'll never eat at another Chinese place again. read more

This place has been here for a long time. Business has gone down over the years, but food quality is still tasty.

Second time here I think it's all the dirty weird ambience they're over priced , seems like they want to pick up your dishes while you're still eating. I will never go back there. Not too friendly we left and nobody said goodbye or come back or anything like that. read more
