    Have you ever heard the story of the Little Engine that Could? That's a good place to start with this little restaurant. It isn't very big, but it's selection and service is equal to most large Chinese buffets. The selection of typical Chinese fare is extensive. There is not much in the way of exotic offerings, so it is more of a traditional American style Chinese Restaurant. Food is alway served hot but not to the point of being too hot to enjoy. Serving dishes are never filled to heaped and overflowing to ensure that only the freshest product makes it to the customer. The floors are for the most part clean. This place is always busy indicating many folks share my sentiments. You will even find a small offering of sushi here. While it is not necessarily a "sushi bar", there are a few common offerings that always taste fresh and appetizing. There is ample parking in front of the establishment. No on street parking necessary. The restrooms are clean. Staff is friendly. Takeout is also available per pound. Overall this establishment earns high marks!

    We ate here an hour before closing and the buffet remained well stocked. The combination platters are large portions.

    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!

    Our meal at Yi Pin was excellent. We ordered a dry pot fish, wonton soup, and lotus and mixed…read morevegetable rice dish. The dry pot fish was probably one of the best I've had in recent memory. For me it was just the right level of mala spicy, without being overpowering. This dish came with rice. The lotus and mixed vegetables (which also came with rice) were also perfectly stir-fried. It included carrots, snap peas, black fungus, and of course lotus. Even my vegetable-skeptic kids liked this dish, especially the lotus root and snap peas. The wonton soup was more run-of-the-mill, but decent. We dined at Yi Pin on Easter Sunday, and the restaurant was very busy. We were able to get seated immediately at a booth, but it took a while for their lean-staffed waiters to bring a menu, water, and take our order. That said, the food did arrive quickly, steaming hot from the kitchen. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip in Lancaster.

    Knowing that this restaurant existed, and having never been here before, I decided to try it today…read morefor lunch. A Gourmet Garden sits in a small shopping center next to the Giant grocery store in Leola, PA. This establishment fits into the same catgeory as the typical Chinese-American takeout restaurant. Yes, you can eat there, but there are approximately 4-6ish tables to sit at. The menu features the ubiquitous, commonly known dishes that Americans opt for. There are the same highlighted pictures of dishes lighted on a marquee above, and to the side of the counter, displaying commonly ordered dishes that you will find in every other restaurant of this type. With that being said, sometimes you will find an occasional dish on the lunch/combo/chef specialty dish offerings that differs from most other places serving the same menu. On this occasion I found the "shredded pork in garlic sauce" lunch. I chose this because most typically do not find "shredded pork" with the respective sauce at places like this, at least around here. The miniature dining room is separated from the kitchen by a counter, where orders are placed and money is collected. As with most places like this, the kitchen is fully visible so I could see what was happening in the back of house. First of all, the cook did not wear any type hand protection when handling ingredients. Secondly, there was no "shredded" pork in my dish. The cook simply took their roast pork (yes, the stuff with the red colored crust) and cut the slices into the pieces you see in my picture. I asked for my dish to be extra spicy, as I always do, and the heat I was looking for lacked. This particular dish on their menu is branded with a chili pepper, indicating that it is SUPPOSED to be spicy. From my experience, the high majority of Chinese-American restaurants NEVER make their dishes spicy when they are supposed to be. Probably, they are catering to the average palate but this is why I ask for "extra spicy" instead of just "spicy". Regardless, the sauce was thicker than desired. When you order a lunch special you actually have the choice of an included egg roll OR soup however I was not offered an option. If you do not specify you want soup, you will automatically get an egg roll. Overall, service was quick, as it tends to be in this type of establishment. The food was cheap and filling. But, as far as quality and satisfaction go, there was room for improvement and some to be desired. I cannot fault them for their level of standards, which parallels many other establishments in the same category, but one can always strive for a higher level of excellence.
