    Mongolian beef , lemon chicken , chicken chow mein
    Ro G.

    Ehh while the service was very nice and polite the food just tasted overall bland. They do have a great lunch menu price . I came for the family dinner. The won ton soup was good.

    I've been here a few times, and every time I come, I always order my favorite the hot and sour soup. It's absolutely delicious! The service is great, and the environment is welcoming and comfortable. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Sweat and sour pork

    Came here looking for American Chinese food and they didn't disappoint. We ordered general tso chicken and sweet and sour pork. Both portions were pretty large for the price and basically all meat. We also tried the crispy rice soup and it was great. Love crispy rice and it's even better in hot soup on a cold day

    Veggie Chow Mein

    I've been wanting to come back to Yinkeng for awhile now. It's been YEARS since I ate here. Used to get their lunch specials all the time (comes with soup, chow mein or fried rice with an entree) at a decent price. I called for their lunch special today and they said they dont do it (think they dont do specials on Sundays) so I ordered a veggie chow mein, chicken fried rice, and honey walnut prawns to go. Some people I saw mentioned a change in ownership. I did taste that the food is different. The chow mein for sure is different. The fried rice was flavorful! The honey walnut prawns was good but so much batter! Each one is gigantic! I see they also remodeled the interior a bit, changed the flooring, tables, etc. It's a small family run business and I will continue to support when I'm in the area. It's pretty decent Chinese food!

    Prawns, so yummy

    They put hardly any sauce on the Honey Walnut Shrimp. The chow mein was mostly vegetables with a little bit of noodles.

    Food wasn't as appetizing as I 2018 and small portions. There was a piece of wire in the food, that I chewed on! Left it on the plate.

    Royal China is my go-to Chinese spot…read more It's really close to my house, which is a huge bonus, but honestly I'd still go here even if it wasn't. The food quality is great every single time. We've ordered a lot from here, and I can't think of anything we didn't like. If I had to pick a favorite, it's probably the hot and sour soup. It's a perfect combination of hot to sour ratio. I've had it in a lot of places, and they just get it right every time. The string bean chicken is also one of my favorites. It's very flavorful, and the green beans are very fresh and cooked perfectly. We also really like the asparagus chicken, Mongolian chicken, walnut prawns, moo shu chicken, and the potstickers. My wife loves the sweet and sour chicken, and my daughter is all about the wonton soup. What's funny is we've never actually sat down and eaten there. I always say we're going to, but usually when we're in the mood for Chinese food, we just want to take it home. Every time I go in though, the place looks really nice and has a great vibe. We've just gotten into the habit of doing pickup. At this point it's just kind of our default. When we're in the mood for Chinese food, this is where we end up.

    The best Chinese food I have ever had. Consistent, delicious, and never disappoints. The ambiance…read moreof the restaurant is always very classy, I feel underdressed wearing anything less fancy thank a collared polo shirt! Their chicken chow mien and chicken fried rice is to die for! They have a very large menu with a ton of different options, and seating options ranging from small tables, booths, large tables, and you can also sit at the bar. The hostesses at the front are always welcoming and polite, and the servers are knowledgeable and friendly. Honestly, I struggle not to eat here more than I should because the food is so delicious! I will mention, especially on holidays, they are absolutely swamped. They have a huge following from the locals who know how good the food is, and they're definitely a favorite for people to order out from on holidays. Sometimes they do have trouble keeping up with the sheer number of orders they seem to receive. All in all, if you're going in the evening, I highly recommend reservations, and if you're ordering online on a holiday, order early so you don't miss out or have to wait too long!

    The quality of the food is typical Panda Express. The service and quantity is the worst I have ever…read moreseen at any Panda Express in the entire SF Bay Area - even worse than the Westfield Oakridge location. It was barely a full bowl of warm, white rice with eight chicken nuggets - for almost $9! I ordered online in hopes I wouldn't have to deal with the poor service mentioned in prior reviews; however, they still managed to look unorganized. My order sat as they helped everyone ordering in-store first. There is no process for assisting online orders. You have to get in line with everyone else in order for anyone to acknowledge your existence - unless one wants to be loud and rude. Next time, I'll drive another 7 minutes to the Mendocino Ave Santa Rosa location.

    Ah, Panda Express. I arrived with a heart full of hope and a stomach ready for orange chicken…read moreglory. I had a reward--a symbol of loyalty, a hard-earned token of appreciation from many past chow mein-fueled adventures. I presented it with pride, expecting smiles and maybe even a gong to be hit in my honor. Instead? Chaos. They honored the wrong reward. When I gently, kindly (and possibly with the patience of a monk) pointed out the mistake, the staff didn't offer help, apologies, or even a second glance at my golden token of delicious destiny. No. They laughed. Laughed, as if I had just told a joke instead of exposing a deep injustice. One employee literally shrugged and said, "Ohh well," like this was the end of an off-brand soap opera. But oh, it gets worse. The food? Let's just say the orange chicken had the texture of regret, the fried rice was more "fried lies," and the broccoli was having an existential crisis. I've had microwave dinners in the middle of a blackout with more flavor and emotional support. So now here I am, betrayed by a bear in a red apron, with cold noodles and a shattered soul. Would I go back? Only if I'm reborn as a less emotionally fragile human with no taste buds and an unshakable tolerance for disrespect and dry chicken. One star. Only because zero isn't an option.
