Trey Yuen is a classic for…read moreChinese food, with great dishes, friendly service, and some of the best crab rangoons around. The decor inside is some of the best, it takes me back to China. Always a place I enjoy coming back to when I'm on the north shore.

My high hopes for this beautiful restaurant located in a large Chinese pagoda were quickly dashed…read morewhen I realized that most of the food was either semi-traditional or not traditional at all. I went with four other people so we ordered the family set which consisted of soup, egg rolls and four entrees to share. The egg drop soup that I selected was tasty enough but the various entrees left much to be desired. There was very little meat in the chicken lo mein and the cooked vegetables were greasy and underwhelming. Generally speaking, ALL of the dishes were greasy and synonymous in flavor. I expected the entrees to have a variety of flavor combinations authentic to the various regions of China but everything was covered in the same greasy brown sauce. We may have just ordered the wrong things but our first impression was not a good one. One highlight was that the waitstaff was very attentive and kind and the dishes did not take too long to arrive at our table. 4/10, I would try it again only if the tea duck is still on the menu!

Lunch or dinner the experience and food has always been pleasant. My favs are the Mandarin Duck or Chicken (sauce on the side), or Crisp Roast Duck. Egg Rolls, Pot Stickers, Roast Pork are our some of our favorite appetizers. Their house condiments of Sweet and Sour sauce and Chinese Hot Mustard are a must with Egg Rolls, Roast Pork, Fantail or Hawaiian Shrimp. Other favorites are the spicy Kung Bo anything, Honey Pork,Vietnamese Crispy Chicken with Jasmine Rice and Moo Shu Pork. My Grandson loves the YetCaMein soup and Shrimp with Vegetables. Pork Fried Rice or the Combination Fried Rice are on our table whenever dining in. The food here speaks for itself. The atmosphere or ambience here has its place in the environment of a good Chinese/ Vietnamese cuisine Restaurant. Proprietor and Wait Staff seal the deal.

I used to come here twice a week with my classmates. It's delicious, quick, and definitely in the budget of a working high school student. I continue to go here with my wife and out-of-town guests whenever I am in the city. Pork mei fun, pork lo mein, Kung pao chicken, wonton soup, Malaysia (pepper) shrimp (similar to pepper chicken and not on the menu but you can request it), and honey chicken are a must! read more

(Which we're finding out very quickly seems to be a thing here, compared to the south shore where everyone seems annoyed) so it's a breath of fresh air. I ordered the brisket and steak pho and summer rolls which is shrimp and pork. ITS SO GOOD! I craved pho during my first pregnancy and here I am again craving it again, yay! I will most definitely be back to try other stuff. Thank you for such great service today
