    Combo Dinner 6

    Delicious food! Hot and tasted fresh. Warm, inviting restaurant. Will definitely be back. Service was friendly.

    This is sesame chicken? I don't think so.
    Brad F.

    Oh Yens. What has become of you. Used to be our go to place, but wow has it slipped! Tonight was the final straw. My dad liked his shrimp fried rice, but the pork fried rice was....not good, to say the least. The pork was SUPER dry and had a weird, sickly-sweet taste to it. We ate about 1/4 of it and threw the rest out. The kicker, though, was the "sesame chicken" that was anything but. Instead of what most people would expect (brown, sticky, sweet sauce with sesame seeds, we got plain breaded fried chicken pieces (like you would get if you ordered sweet and sour) with.....3 plastic containers of ketchup on the side. Not a sesame seed in sight. I thought they might have made a mistake and sent us sweet and sour sauce by accident, but no. It's ketchup. When I called, they tried to tell me that this was normal and that it was "homemade" ketchup, and that they include it with soy sauce and sesame seeds (which weren't there) so we can make our own sauce to put on the chicken. Yeah right, pull the other leg, it plays jingle bells. The upside is that they refunded the cost of the sesame chicken, which is nice becasue I tried a piece of the chicken and it was GREASY as it could be. If I had tried the rice before calling, I would have asked for a refund for it as well. Pretty terrible, and it pains me to say that because I used to love this place. Do better.

    This place has horrible food and service. The food was greasy and the flavors were off. The large portions did not make up for the low food quality. Also, $6 for a mediocre cup of egg soup is ridiculous. Never going back again.

    One of my friends from Ohio loves Chinese American food, including Lemon Chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Egg Foo Young, Broccoli Chicken and Egg Drop Soup. Yen's is his favorite Chinese restaurant in the Portland Metro Area. I, on the other hand like Shiitake Black Mushroom Beef, War Wonton, Shrimp with Lobster Sauce and Moo Goo Gai Pan. As a Chinese American, I also love their Tomato Beef Curry Chow Mein. Chinese American food is it's own authentic cuisine. It's down home country comfort food for some of us. Yen's is our favorite Chinese restaurant to meet half way since the menu is quite diverse, and the portions are large. If you don't see what you want on the menu, you can ask them if they can make it for you, especially if you know the Chinese name. For diversity, they have an American Food section on their menu, which includes hamburgers, fries, mashed potatoes, grilled cheese sandwiches, fish & chips, and chicken nuggets. This works when your dinner date only eats American food. I must admit, Yen's food is really good. Yen's is open for indoor dining. They have 4 rows of booths, which helps with social distancing and privacy. Yen's also has a large private dining room perfect for meetings or parties. Diagonal street parking makes it easy to park.

    General tso lunch special. Lots of food. (My bowl from takeout)

    Very bland tasteless food. I will look elsewhere for some flavor. There is no seasoning that I could taste at all.

    Good food all around! Lots of variety for fussy eaters too:)…read moreOnly draw back...no dining room some food is meant to be eaten when it comes right out of the kitchen.

    Shocking... I have ordered from them for years. In recent years I discovered a favorite thing to…read moreorder is an appetizer platter because it's a little bit of everything - fried shrimp, spring rolls, BBQ pork, crab puffs, and short ribs. I also order their lobster puffs which are a wonton wrapper purse filled with lobster, crazy good sauce and a touch of shredded carrot. This time I was in shock. All the meat was so overcooked that the pork was gray. The short ribs were almost charcoal cinder... the burned meat was next to all the other appetizers which, well, ruined the entire thing. So, I figured at least the lobster puffs were separate and looked amazing. I bit into one and it wasn't foul... it was just very confusing because it tasted completely different... I looked at the other half and was like wait... that's not lobster... that's a shrimp... so, I thought maybe it was an accident one off... nope, so apparently they switched to shrimp and are still charging for lobster... WOW. Let's say the restaurant ran out of lobster... I could completely see letting a customer know. That was not what happened here and as a customer, I am not a fan of being lied to especially in a world where people have allergies to proteins. Thankfully I'm not allergic to shrimp. I am allergic to being lied to.

The restaurant hasn't been renovated in a very long time, but it has a loyal customer base.

The food was tasty, the portions were satisfying, and the service was friendly and attentive. If you're looking for ambience, this may not be the place.

I had been going to Lee's for many many years and was a little saddened by some of the changes that the new owners decided to make. I'm very happy that they brought back some of the old schools menu items. Especially sesame, chicken and sweet-and-sour spareribs. The prices are higher, but not unreasonable in fact, a bargain compared to a lot of restaurants and you get more food and it's good . If you gave up on them, with the changes that came with new ownership, consider giving them another try I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. The service was friendly. It was fast. The servings were big and the food was delicious.
