I've been eating at the Chinese Cafe since they opened in the late 80s and I've never had a bad…read moremeal there. The menu includes a variety of dishes including Szechuan and Hunan. Fresh vegetables and quality meats are used throughout the menu. Family style meals with egg roll, pork and seeds, soup, fried rice and a variety of entree selections are family favorite. Don't bother coming if you think that good Chinese food is covered in goopy sauce or should come with a hot dog on the side. Bring your checkbook because they don't take credit cards.

I am not a huge fan of writing 1 star reviews. Unfortunately when trying to look at the positives…read moreof this places it is very difficult. We were looking for something for takeout and saw that they had this option and were open later than many other places in town. When calling in the order it seemed typical. However when we went to pick the food they said cash or check only! Definitely something that should have mentioned prior to driving there. We don't have a bank in town so we had to pull out money from another bank which charges us a fee. If we would have known this a head of time we would have chosen another option. Was definitely surprising since most places take debit, credit or Apple Pay. This such an inconvenience. The inside is in desperate need of updating and cleaning! The inside looked like we went into a Time Machine to 1980...I could get on board with that if it was at least clean but this was not the case. The register is in the oddest location so when someone is opening the door it hits you while picking up food/paying. Now for the food quality. It was bad. It didn't even look appetizing. It was bland and greasy with limited veggies. We order pork chow mein, (had no pork in it!), orange chicken (sauce was decent but chicken non existent), pork fried rice (no pork again, and not fried, was more like white rice), and kung pao chicken (no spice, no red peppers, limited veggies other than carrots and smallest pieces of chicken). The spring rolls had smashed up food in the center and then fried in very old oil. Only could take a bite and couldn't even finish it. The taste was very unappetizing. I was very dissatisfied and my family was unpleased as well. Was really hoping to give a good review to support a small local business but I just have to be honest there is no way I can recommend this place.

We've eaten many times at Yen Ching. It's a comfortable restaurant and even on a Monday night,…read morecrowded. The food is good and the menu extensive. The dishes remind me of 1960's New York Chinese food. The prices are excellent, especially since their portions are huge. We determined the local national express Chinese food chain is at least double their food price. The receptionist and servers are polite and nice, but the manager? was changing out condiments at the end of our table while we were eating and didn't place the new ones he exchanged them for where the others came from instead put them at the edge of our table. He did this without saying anything to us and reached over with no smile or stating anything. My husband asked him for three much needed to go boxes and he gave us two with no bag without again, addressing us. We noticed the wait staff person had given the folks next to us three boxes and a bag. This may sound petty, but it was more his attitude that was off-putting. I can see people thinking "Are you sure it's not a misinterpretation of cultural differences or a language barrier?" Of course we can't say for sure no, but it's not typical restaurant staff behavior in our opinion. Let's put it this way, if this had happened at another restaurant we would have thought his behavior was rude. Will it affect whether or not we eat there again? No. The food is good enough.

Our server dropped off water and took our orders. We pretty much knew what we wanted since it took her a minute to get to us. It gave us a hot minute to look over the menu. My daughter got shrimp egg foo young and I got some dim sum. It felt like our food took longer than normal today. But our food finally made it to the table. My dim sum looked fabulous! My daughter's egg foo young looked different. I'm so used to seeing the shrimp in the egg patty and sauce on top. Instead they put the shrimp in the sauce with a nice mixture of veggies. I was kinda jealous of not getting the same thing as my daughter, it looked so tasty! It was worth the wait for the dim sum. The shu mai were savory and chunky! The shrimp in the har gaw was firm and salty. I love the exterior wrapping of the ham gaw. You dip those babies in soy sauce and chili oil and you have the best combination of flavors! The shrimp egg foo young was some of the best I have ever had! The egg patty was fluffy and loaded with veggies. The sauce was tasty and had great texture by all the veggies. The bamboo shoots, baby corn, peas and carrots are so good in the sauce. Thai is a must get next time I'm there. As usual, we enjoyed every part of our meal. Service was ok today. I look forward to coming back and having another great meal here.

I find it a little bland, but in that comfort food kind of way. The prices are budget friendly, the portions are generous, and its one of the few non-fast food places in Ontario you can get takeout late. We've shown up just before closing and still gotten quick service with a smile. We often get the Mongolian beef, orange chicken, or Mandarin chicken. Some of the menu policies are quirky, like substitution fees and confusing menu rules requiring a minimum number of orders for certain dishes, so take the time to read over the menu.
