⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Tyler Glover
Massive portions, fresh ingredients, clearly homemade with no shortcuts. This is the old school American-Chinese place you want it to be with the classic dishes: sweet and sour and hot mustard containers (not packets) presented with the appetizers, a hot and sour soup so much better than any in the area, and an extremely friendly staff. If I had a negative, it’s the fried rice, it just felt a little flat compared to everything else… but mixed with the chicken and sauce was still delicious. I don’t live close by but will find reasons to visit here.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — BucketOfZs
The quintessential of mom and pop Chinese restaurants. Its been open 23 years and eating here i can see why. The staff is polite and anticipates our needs even when we didn't consider reuqet they refined our order to be more accurate. The food was served fast, very fresh and warm. The portions were generous and prices low. Our first visit left quite the impression!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Elijah Yelton (Eli)
Yen Ching House is the best place to go for lunch after church. When we visited, my mom had some dietary restrictions, and our waiter showed genuine care and concern, making sure everything would be okay for her! Which we truly appreciated. The only small downside is that they don’t offer fountain drinks, just bottled drinks that you pour over ice yourself. That said, the food and service more than make up for it. This is hands down the best Chinese food in the area. 100% recommend.
