I've been here 3 times now and most recently with my parents! This place has not disappointed me…read moreeach time I've come. It was pretty busy on Saturday when we went for dinner but we didn't have to wait too long and our food actually came out pretty fast. The service was as expected because it looked like 1 guy was serving all tables and he was literally running between table to table. I don't blame him for any waiting because he was busting his butt and we didn't really need to wait too long. We ordered a variety of dishes coming here but my favorite has to be the Homestyle Tofu or the Fish Filet. I would like to try more dishes next time. They give you quite a good amount of food for the price. Some places charge the same and give you much less. This place has authentic Chinese food with some common favorites that many of us also know (chicken with broccoli, lo mein, general tso's etc.) so there is something for everyone. There are vegetarian dishes available as well. If you're in the area and would like more savory, authentic Chinese food I recommend coming here!

Dinner for my party of three which is characteristically occurring either at 4:00 pm or 5:00 pm…read more(pending all three's physical presence together) we dined here on Independence Day 2026. Surprisingly Yi Pin is open and fully operational on a major federal holiday. The air conditioning is rather weak during our dining experience as I felt warm during the Northeast heat wave oppressive humidity continuous week. Condiments issued at the table were aged dark vinegar, green tea but not Matcha was complimentary served. My party only use aged dark vinegar as a condiment for dumplings. We have a predilection for mellow, malty sweetness of dark vinegar rather than the high salt content in soy sauce. Customer service is attentive and staff is fluent in Mandarin and English. Yi Pin is a Chinese restaurant that serves regional cuisine of Shanghainese and Szechuan province. It is what my party of three refer non-Cantonese, Guangdong province 外省人 ngoi6 saang2 jan4 (noun) outside province; foreign person. Ergo, staff does not speak Cantonese - neither rudimentary level. Price is extortionate high, but expected in 2026 stagflation era. I was able to obtain the sales receipt as keepsake. Asian melon hard candy is distributed with the bill upon meal completion which is industry standard for Asian restaurants and cafes. At the bottom of the sales receipt there is a suggested gratuity in intervals of 18%, 20% and 22% where customers do not have to perform math calculation. There is one large beautiful Japanese beckoning cat, (maneki-neko) which adjacent to the cash register. Business cards are available for grabs. There is a customer parking lot available. Beef noodle soup $15.95 The soup broth bubbles are very visible for the high level of cholesterol and fat content. I believe the cook or kitchen staff used and implemented MSG. This was a big setback leading to disappointment for my three Yelp stars. La mian wheat based noodles were embedded and sufficient. I enjoyed the La mian wheat noodles. Lo Mein chicken $12.95 It was stirred fried and abundant for excessive quantity. I did not consume any - neither one bite. It seemingly appeared very high grease and fat content for excessive oil. Shanghainese soup dumplings 6 pieces, $10.95 Pork steam soup dumplings siu2 lung4 baau1, 小籠包 tasted average, but not exuberant great to awaken my soul for sprightly liveliness. There were very minimal soup liquid inside the dumpling upon biting. I did ponder with hope and wonder during our wait for our food order arrival that these soup dumplings would be bursting with excessive soup liquid and flavor. It was not served piping hot as I am accustomed in NYC Shanghainese restaurant industry standards. These dumplings prepared by the cook(s) or kitchen staff at Yi Pin are egregiously appalling and insult to New York Chinese. I refused to apologize for being a native New Yorker. The dumpling skin tip where placing the serving tongs also tasted hard. Also another reason for my three Yelp stars.

This is my favorite Chinese food delivery place in Lancaster. They are up Columbia Ave at Stone…read moreMill Plaza, but I've never had a problem getting them to deliver in town or at F&M (I think they also deliver to Millersville University). Their Chicken w/ Broccoli is awesome, and I love their fried rice... shrimp rolls too! I also haven't had any complaints from the people I've introduced to it. Frankly when I first moved to Lancaster I tried a lot of Chinese food restaurants, but this was the only delivery place I really liked. I still have the menus from the other ones, but in the last 5 years I haven't had a reason to look for a switch. Sure while I'm out on an errand I might try somewhere else, but I haven't found a place yet that beats Oriental. Same prices as everywhere else, but I feel the quality is much better. And while I wouldn't tell you to go there to eat-in, it is very clean. Not one of those hole in the wall type of takeout spots, and I feel a lot better knowing my food was prepared somewhere I'd actually step foot in. I often stop in to pick up an order, but the delivery is always quick, and the drivers are always friendly. It's mildly embarrassing that they know me, and if they see me at the store they'll often tell me how they were just by my house. But that lets you know that I order from there a lot, and that's because it's delicious. My only complaint is that about half of the time they forget my chopsticks when I ask for them, but I'll usually order extras so that I'm always covered.

This review is based on our first time delivery order. First of all, I have to give it 5 stars…read moresimply because I found absolutely nothing to complain about, and plenty to praise. Let's talk about the delivery, which was so quick that the food came so hot it burnt my finger when a small amount of sauce got on it while opening the container. Now on to the food itself. We ordered 2 combo plates, a sweet & sour pork and a pork egg foo young. The sauces for both were perfect. I was especially pleased with the egg foo young sauce, which has been disappointing in the last 2 Chinese places we've eaten meals from. The pork in both entrees was plentiful and not gristly or too chewy at all, another problem in other places. The very best item, which I will order many times again, is the egg foo young. The patties were huge and generously filled with both pork and veggies. The taste was perfection. Side accompaniments are the pork fried rice and an egg roll. The egg rolls came to us extra crispy on the outside, which is how we like them. Some may prefer them fried a bit shorter time, but not us. The fried rice was quite tasty, with chunks of pork that you could actually see. Some others chop the pork so fine it is hard to distinguish that it is in the rice. Last, but not least, is our appetizer. We chose the BBQ ribs. The price seemed a bit high for a small order, but what we got amounted almost to what I would consider a large order. There were 5 very generous pieces with an amazing sauce that clung to the meat and enhanced our enjoyment. Each rib was meaty, with no hard shriveled up pieces to chew on, which is another huge complaint at other places. All in all, I believe we have finally ended our search for the best place to go when in the mood for Chinese cuisine. Two thumbs up for this one.
