We love eating here, good food and decently priced. One of my favorites is their salt and pepper shrimp. It is so yummy!

Hole in a wall, coming from Yosemite and wanted chinese food on the way home. True essence of chinese restaurant..not fancy but hits the spot! The server/owner is really friendly! Good service too. read more

Just tried this spot after driving past it for years. No frills, just great tasting, straightforward Chinese food that luckily hit the spot. The building is a tad rundown, and the cleanliness is questionable, but the amazing tasting food more than makes up for it. Fast service, friendly owners and great prices will keep me coming back. If you're looking for fancy, this isn't the place - but for solid, traditional classics, it's hard to beat! read more

I work in McFarland and was craving GOOD Chinese food. We ordered 4 plates to go for dinner. The Kung Pao chicken had a horrible smell, but I tasted it anyway. It tasted like it smelled! In another plate, we ordered broccoli beef. I'm not sure what we were given but there was no broccoli. The beef tasted just ok. Like, it was edible, that's it. The two other plates were orange chicken. That was dry, not saucy and had no flavor. Also ordered salt and pepper fish. I can't explain what that tastes like. It was just WEIRD! The more I write the angrier I get. I HATE to spend my money on nasty food. This is just disappointing and GROSS! Chowmein was ok and fried rice was good. Yes the food is very inexpensive, but $40 something dollars down the drain is not cool. The smell itself kept us from finishing any one plate, or enjoying the food at all. I'll be throwing this food away in our outside dumpster so it doesn't smell up my house! read more

If this was a bar it would be a dive bar. Nothing to look at on the outside. The inside is just a notch above but the food is amazing and the owner works the service end and he's the nicest guy ever. I've been before with friends and regretted not being able to take the leftovers because we were headed somewhere. Tonight I'm dining alone and chose the abalone and shrimp soup which is once again amazing. If you're ever this way for lunch or dinner give it a try. It's really good authentic Chinese better than any I've had in Bakersfield. Enjoy. read more

Fay Yin Restaurant - Abalone & Shrimp Soup - Chinese Near Me - Mc Farland, California

Food is not great. But it has been around for a long time in McFarland. So some people like and others don't.

Good comfort food, can't go wrong with their fast service and family style restaurant

Their Chow Fun combo plate is great. Owners are so nice and service is amazing. Love their salt and pepper shrimp

You know that one spot in your hometown that everyone knows about. This one here is it for me. Been coming here since childhood, high school lunch recess, after Sunday Service, I'm not sure why but it's hard to find a good Chinese Restaurant with quality food. Everything served on your plate is magnificent. I'm in a relationship with the #9 Salt & Pepper Shrimp with fried rice and chow mein. If you starving you can add additional shrimp for a small fee. Feel like spicing it up? You can add a small to-go container of that delicious chili sauce. Well todays visit was extra special, while picking up my prescription at the nearby Rite Aid, i knew I had to stop and get dinner at Fay Yin. Well immediately after paying for my meal, I observed both Lin & Robert (co-owner/owner) having a discussion) then second's later they approach me and show me this portable charger, (my portable charger), that I've been looking for days without luck. They asked me if it was mine, AND IT WAS! Apparently i was there a couple days ago and forgot my portable by one of the tables. Well I am ol glad they reunited me with my portable charger, Iam glad they run a restaurant with honesty and integrity. read more

Fay Yin Restaurant - #9 Salt & Pepper Shrimp Pork fried rice & chicken chow mein with my returned portable charger on the background All smiles here! - Chinese Near Me - Mc Farland, California

Best local Chinese food. Everything is super fresh and flavorful. I drive 20 minutes out of my way just for this Chinese food. Their chow Mein is the best read more

the worse you can go to. we ordered some food and the was the bean sprout was rotten, it shouldn't have black roots and green spots on it. The rice was also nasty, it smelt as if it was sitting on the rice cook for days. We went to ask why it's like this and the worker got mad at us and raised her voice, she even complained and give excuses saying "you guys are not cookers and you guys don't know anything" but my dad is a cooker and knows how beansprouts look like while being cooked and how it is freshly new. read more

I haven't eaten there in the last year due to Rona. I am glad to see they are still open. My favorite dish is the Mongolian beef, has my 2 fav ingredients- beef and onion! Yum! They have never been a rip off and give plenty of food read more

Original Chinese food and its really fire. Always have a good time when I go and the owners and staff are super friendly.

This place has been open for a long time. the owners are very friendly to there customers. The actual restaurant is outdated but so is every "restaurant" in this town. The food in my opinion is great . Our favorite things to order is the orange chicken with noodles or the salt n pepper shrimp. The price. Everything is very affordable and the portions are huge read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem. Located in the small town of McFarland, the location is nonassuming to say the least, and the lot and building are over a decade old. Nevertheless, the family that owns it has learned to cook according to recipes that have been passed down for years, and remain among the best these days. The service is polite, and there is no problem with "customizing" dishes to suit your preferences. I often get the spicy chicken wings, (made w custom sauce that makes them similar to a less sweet general's chicken), cooked a little crispier, and ask for extra veggies with the mongolian beef. Along with those wings, the chow fun dishes and salt and pepper shrimp are among the highlights. read more

This place is not only thee best chinese food ever, I grew up with it too. I highly recommend!

How in the world in this place rated almost 5 stars?? This is one of the dirtiest places I've ever been. I mean layers on layers dirty.i had the buffet and it was horrible. Will not EVER come back. read more

Fay Yin Restaurant - Buffet... yikes Just don't look around in here. It's gross - Chinese Near Me - Mc Farland, California

On my momma I love this place, the food is actually affordable and the owners are some great people to talk to. If I could have one of these in San Diego I'd suck on someone's bald head. Fay yin got a place in my heart that others don't. read more

Looks my be deceiving about this place, it's small, tiny bit cramped but it's enough space to move around. This place is small, but everyone in McFarland will come here and eat. And I can see why. This place has amazing Chinese food and the service here is great too! They're really chatty and sometimes like talking to the customers, this one guy in particular. (An old senior) he's really friendly and such a cool guy. He once told me a story of his experience abt going to Paris and some funny jokes too. And enough of the great service. THE FOOD! Their food is the best Chinese food ever!! from orange Chicken to everything they have on the menu. Their homemade spicy oil is absolutely amazing!! If you're craving some really good Chinese food this is the best spot to go. read more

Everyone is always smiling here it's a very affordable and friendly place to eat. If you come here more than once you will very likely be on a first name basis with the owners. The fried rice is the best I have ever had and often crave it throughout the week. Highly recommend. read more

Fay Yin Restaurant - A picture of the menu - Chinese Near Me - Mc Farland, California

We keep stopping here on our road trips. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great prices. Great hot and sour soup. Great orange chicken.

Super delicious quick stop order number 9 or 3 must try fast friendly good place to buffet as well.

Rough on the outside but a polished jewel in the inside. It doesn't get more authentic than this, and boy oh boy this topped a lot of the usual chain restaurant food. Just by the look, smell and taste of it anybody with that veteran tongue for food you can tell it was made from scratch. First glance at this place and you would think you hit a detour or the wrong place but I am at times never too judgmental. It's a diamond in the rough and deserves more ratings and reviews than what it has. The owner and I had a great conversation and was very social and a happy man. His wife was very nice to me and my family, we didn't even asked for nothing and everything was offered to us. Down to the refills of soft drinks, extra napkins and to-go plates. Just by eyeing us they knew what we needed. Building, interior and menu need all updating really bad but it's a clean place but feeling you get is that you just stepped into a portal back to 1977 and the BeeGee's, "Staying Alive" record playing in the background type of feeling. Back to the food, the food was superb. It was the phenomenal, so many words to describe it. It wasn't that pre-cooked, Costco boxed-Panda Express sauce bottle that you would get at 60% of most restaurants. Food was legit and ranked up to the top five Chinese places I ever went to in my life. Honest to the bone, the emperor would be please. I rate this place 5.0 for GREAT food and service. read more

Great service and beats out Panda Express. It is an inviting hole in the wall owned by very special people. They have superb orange chicken and a fantastic arrangement of choices. It is very convenient and close to the 99 so perfect to pass by when on the road. read more

Before the lockdown I was working at McFarland and while I was driving I was hungry so I want to this restaurant. But inside is filthy and there is a table full of newspaper coins tv remotes and phones. And I looked in the kitchen and it's so dirty with grim everywhere as I was looking from the table I watched a cockroach come out of the kitchen I run into a cart. So I will never recommend this restaurant I will never go here again. read more

The #9 with salt & pepper shrimp is the signature dish. Great food! All fresh and no msg.

My daughter and I read the Yelp ratings while on the road halfway between San Diego and Sacramento, and gave it a try. We couldn't have been more pleased. Their numbered specials were $7.95 each, and provided a full plate of fresh, tasty Chinese food--some of the best I've had anywhere! Lots of people were coming by to pick up take-out as we ate, signifying the popularity of their food in this small town along Highway 99. The owners were exceptionally friendly, and the atmosphere ideal for a family. I just wish this place was closer to where I live. Next time I go to San Diego, I'll take 99 rather than 5, just so I can stop here again! read more
