I really wasn't expecting much from a downtown Dubuque Ia Chinese food restaurant just down the…read morestreet from the mansion bed and breakfast I was staying at but my original choice was not open on that day. The place looks run down and take out mostly because no one was eating in the place but orders were going out and phones were ringing, maybe a good sign. You know how much I love the combination plate when it comes to Chinese food so I called in and ordered the beef with broccoli dinner combo and my side choices were egg roll and pork fried rice which took 10 minutes. My only disappointment was no hot mustard like in Milwaukee because I like that on my egg roll with soy sauce. My combination dinner actually looked really good and better than I expected with a full size egg roll, thank you. The pork fried rice didn't look like much but it was flavorful and not cooked to mush but flavorful. The egg roll was not frozen with crispy fresh cabbage and also flavorful with a nice golden wrapper. The beef and broccoli was also flavorful with thick tender beef and broccoli that was not cooked to mush with some crunch left in it, dam everything cooked perfectly and no mushy food. WOW I'm impressed with this place because it puts lots of Chinese restaurants to shame because it was cooked perfectly, not skimping and flavorful so I would definitely have dinner here again. Was it the best, no but it was better than most places and I have done a lot of them so the freshness stands out.

The food is excellent, especially the miso ramen, which is a comforting mix of miso soup and ramen topped with two gigantic pork chashu cutlets. It's the kind of meal that reminds you of some of the best cuisine around. We also loved the pad Thai and can't wait to try the Thai basil dish and more on our next visit. The Thai iced tea was another standout - perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet like the usual versions with condensed milk. It tasted very authentic. This place is a great new find, and we'll definitely be back.

These items are my recommendation to anyone from out of town who needs a reminder that staples like these can have the smallest tweeks and make the biggest changes. I was a little sad by the pho. I was not on the same level as the Apps. The restaurant has a very nice layout but I was disappointed to see so many other families with young babies and this location did not have a changing table in the restroom. I would request a changing table if the owner sees this. As for the wait staff, our waiter was nice and prompt with our meals, but he seemed a little over whelmed and not very personable. I think my family (of 3) just caught him on a bad day.

To add some context, I spent about 20 years of my earlier life enjoying dinners and lunches at a…read moreYen Ching restaurant in Illinois. When I moved to Wisconsin, we eventually realized there was one in Milwaukee that was related, and we made it there a couple of times, but they closed sometime after 2020, so I had missed my Yen Ching. I found myself in Dubuque with my husband looking for a different lunch option, and when I saw Yen Ching we were set on where we were headed! We parked at the curb and I could tell this location had been here for a wile as well, since the early 1980s. There was a vintage sign outside that I wish I had thought to take a picture of. The restaurant features Hunan and Mongolian dishes. Inside, the decor was very similar to what I remembered from Illinois: the hanging lamps, the decorated beams, a carved wood piece of wall art, the wood checkout counter with the glass window on the front where back in the day maybe gum and mints would have beckoned to me as a kid. We were seated right away in a booth and soon a pot of tea and cups of ice water were dropped off. The table was set with the familiar zodiac placemat, the tea cup and the soup spoon at each spot. The Mr. poured some tea and once he saw how dark it was he pushed it away. I took it, and he said "You're going to drink that motor oil?" It did look super dark, but it tasted like the familiar oolong tea. We both went with my long-time favorites: Mongolian beef, sizzling rice soup and crab rangoon. Everything was so good and familiar, but with maybe tiny adjustments. The beef with cellophane noodles had perhaps a bit more black or white pepper seasoning and white onions in addition to the green onions, the sizzling rice soup had the addition of peas and celery, and the crab rangoon (savory not sweet) was probably spot on from what I remember. The Mongolian beef was not skimpy on the beef at all. I could have put some aside to take home as the portions were more than I needed, but I was glad to be enjoying Yen Ching menu items again, so I didn't leave anything behind except for some fried rice and soup broth. Our service was good, the atmosphere was good and prices were reasonable at $25 before tip for two lunches with a soup upgrade. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to revisit an old family favorite in a different location!
