The food was OK considering I'm snowed in at a local motel. I expected better... I enjoy eating at places I've never eating before, really excited to eat Yan Jing. However, when I got the food, it was just food. Nothing to brag about.! read more

Yan Jing - Appetizer was A4. Peking Dumpling And white rice and P5. Hunan Pork.... - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, and I will unlikely return. I ordered pork fried rice and chicken egg foo young. The pork fried rice was good--fresh and flavorful. However, the chicken egg foo young was unacceptable. It was hard and dry, with edges so harsh that they were inedible. The gravy was thin and bland, lacking any authentic flavor. The only redeeming aspect of the meal was the rice that accompanied it. While I understand that restaurants can get busy, the lack of care in preparing this meal is evident. This experience was disappointing and does not meet any reasonable standard of quality. read more

This is my absolute favorite Chinese restaurant in Richmond! Their food is so delicious!!!!! It is consistently the most flavorful food! I have only done takeout so I can't speak to the ambience in the restaurant itself. Ordering online is quick and easy and the staff is always prompt and polite. I have moved further out of town so I can't get it delivered but when I want really good Chinese I make the extra effort to order from them and drive to pick it up! Definitely a must try! read more

I have been a long time customer of this restaurant. The service has gone down hill and the food was below grade compared to what I have become use too. The servers and management did not handle anything with integrity. Rude service with subpar food compared to past defined the evening .i do not think I will be returning. The place was overpacked and just added to an evening left lacking . read more

Best Asian food I've had in a while. The service and atmosphere left me feeling like I've visited a warm family gathering

The food is delicious! The service is amazing. You can tell the family puts love in their cooking. When I'm here I feel like family.

This is how much they care about the presentation of your food ...translation they do not care read more

Yan Jing - This is how much they care about the presentation of the food... translation they do not care - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Consistently good and the only place I will have Chinese at. Always hot and delicious!

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but I wasn't impressed. We had a group of 15 and went to Yen Ching on the recommendation of one of our friends. We were greeted immediately by a hostess who sat us at a large table in a private area that was elevated. It was nice having all of us at one table. For drinks, we ordered a variety...Sapporo, sodas, drinks that looked like they were straight from a tiki bar. I have to admit, my Sapporo didn't stand up to some of the fun cocktails others had. Drink envy. For my meal, I ordered egg drop soup, which was pretty standard. For my entree, I ordered Crispy Chicken, which was described as sweet, sour and spicy. I requested extra spicy. It came with fried or steamed rice, and I chose fried. The Crispy chicken was sweet, no sour, not a lick of spice. It was so sweet I could only eat a little. Even the addition of chili sauce couldn't cut the sweetness. My daughter ordered the dumplings, fried and thought they were okay. full disclosure that we eat at Peter Chang's and the dumplings there are hard to beat. She loves noodles and ordered the Singapore noodles. She thought they were okay but we're mostly onions. My husband got soup and wings and he really enjoyed the wings. He's a fan of anything fried since I rarely fry food at home. I've heard good things about the Yen Ching on Broad Street, so maybe I'll give them a try. I may even come back here sometime, but will be more careful in my food choices. read more

I order a family pan of their house special fried rice which I love but today it was salty as hell couldn't even eat it

Have only ordered takeout but the food reminds me of nyc Chinese. Great portions, well seasoned and fast service...

For American style Chinese takeout this is my favorite spot around town. First I really like their sesame seed chicken. Most places just have it taste like sugar chicken, but this spot actually has some flavor. They make it spicy which I never had before Yen Ching, but definitely enjoy. Also their beef & mixed vegetables has a nice mix of vegetables. I realize that might sound silly, but I've had the experience of mostly getting green peppers & onions when ordering at some restaurants. Overall a solid takeout place & my go to for cravings. read more

Yen Ching delivered. Most people do Chinese take-out but we decided to dine-in and we were not disappointed. We got some intel that it would be empty in the dining room but not to be deterred Usually that means WARNING(!) We pressed on. It was in fact empty and we were sat right away. Our server was very polite and attentive. The dining room was very clean and the ambiance was traditionally delightful. My wife ordered the vegetable spring roll but it had bits of meat in it (Warning). My egg roll was delicious and the wasabi dip that came with was very good. The entree's were definitely good. My wife had the chicken curry and I have the 5-taste chicken and we had enough to take with us. We skipped dessert but they gave us sliced oranges with the peel on. Per usual we got fortune cookies with the check. We spent roughly $45 after tip. I would both eat-in and take-out here again. read more

Yan Jing - 5-Taste Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Ok, knocking of a star for the flavor or lack of flavor of the puff fried dough surrounding my pork. The dough had no flavor, so drenching the pork puffs in sweet and sour was a must. I never drench my pork in the sauce. I usually just drizzle. They had the option to also get brown rice with the meal which I chose since it's healthier option. However!!! Their pork lo mein is the the best I've had anywhere! We would always order Chinese from Yen Ching when we lived in Virginia, but normally the broad street location. Since my fam now lives on south side we chose the Midlothian location. The lo mein has so much flavor, not overly salt or saucy. It's just perfect. So happy we got to get take out while we were in town. We even ordered through the Yelp App! They called us after we placed the order to ask which location we were ordered from since they have 3, so I said Midlo. read more

Yan Jing - Chicken w/ broccoli & white rice - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I wish I would have read Yelp reviews prior to ordering via Uber eats. This establishment was rated 4.7 on Uber eats. Ordered crab ragoons which were terrible. Terrible taste-soggy with very tough ends-I think they were sitting under a warmer all day. Wonton soup was anemic-wonton not bad, but only a minuscule amount of meat. Main meal of shrimp with vegetables, sauce watered down and everything tasted slimy. Yuck! Needless to say, unfortunately it ended up in the trash. Only positive note-excellent Uber eats delivery lady. read more

I was gifted with a Grubhub gift card and decided I would splurge on Chinese! I saw the picture of a real ass egg roll and I was sold!! I live in Jackson Ward and they came all the way from Midlothian to deliver this deliciousness! Now my driver was acting perplexed by me ordering from this place and mentioned there were better places in the area. Well Mr Grubhub deliverer I'm happy with my food choice! It's soooo good! I ordered shrimp fried rice, fried chicken wings and a fat ass egg roll. They do not skimp on the shrimp and that's a major plus. It didn't come with bean sprouts another win!!! The chicken wings are really flavorful! I swear I eat so many chicken wings I'm going to turn into a damn wing. One star off for no eating utensils or napkins. All of it hit the spot and I will be ordering from them again. read more

I've eaten at this restaurant for over 20 years and it has always been my favorite Chinese food but I ordered here last week and it was the worst food I've ever had. The egg roll was dripping in grease and the general tso chicken made me sick. So disappointing that I may never eat their food again. read more

Yes yes yes! I can't believe we waited so long to get food from here. Drove by so many times and finally decided to try it out. We ordered takeout for 9 people and it ended up being under $100 which I think is very reasonable. The food was delicious! So flavorful and fresh tasting. The only issue we had was that the sweet and sour chicken wasn't very crispy, but it's a bit of a drive home and after popping them in the air fryer for 2 minutes they were perfect. The veggie low mein was a huge hit with everyone. I ordered the mixed vegetable with bean curd soup for 2 as my entree and enjoyed it all to myself. I can't even list all of the things we ordered but I can say that everyone was full and satisfied. We ordered again a couple weeks later and will be making this place our regular take out spot. read more

Food is AMAZING, order delivery through Postmates and food always arrives hot and delicious. Have not been able to dine in but judging from the delivery and how good the food is I'm sure it's be twice as good fresh out the kitchen. Favorite order is Hunan Shrimp. read more

My family and I have been eating here for decades. The best place for Chinese food in Richmond, and the only place we'll order from. My husband loves the General Tso's and I always order the Beef and Broccoli. Wonton Soup is a must, as well as the egg rolls. Do yourself a favor and order food from here!! read more

This is a Yelp review that is LONG overdue. I have ate at many different Chinese places but this is literally the best Chinese food I've ever had in my life. The chicken and broccoli actually tastes like chicken and the general tso's has a crunch, sauce, and chicken breast that is perfect. I'd argue that this is the best Chinese restaurant in all of the US. read more

This is our go-to for delivery. The food is consistently good, well seasoned, and arrives fast and hot. I'm partial to the rice noodle dishes while my husband enjoys the orange chicken. There are a few dishes I've tried a couple of times and now avoid (the shrimp toast is too greasy and the fantail shrimp is too doughy), but otherwise the food gets 5 stars! read more

I return to satisfy the craving for good, freshly cooked Chinese food. They'll change any dish to satisfy ur taste. Had crispy duck for lunch ( it's on the dinner menu). Loved it. They're always sweet & warm in greeting me & very helpful while I order. Nice place. read more

My first time eating here. I was disappointed. It's so close I was hoping it would be good. Ordered spring rolls for hubby and me. The taste was good but they were mushy; they probably would be much better if we had not included them in take out. My entree, chicken and snow peas would have been better if it had brown sauce like I asked for. Hubby's chicken and cashews was good. Serving size was smaller than what we are used to. The fried rice was plain, no veggies and little or no taste. Price was comparable to what we pay at other places. read more

Service is nice if a bit inconsistent (only reason for two stars). Issue is the food (only rates one star). The chicken is low quality and prepared with little taste. Probably due to the weird breading. Tried the 5 taste chicken and general tso. Neither my wife or I could finish our plates. This restaurant needs to overhaul its menu and invest in edible food. The generic fortune cookie had more taste than our meals. read more

Dined in with my boyfriend. I ordered the chicken wings (10 for $7.50) and he ordered the Honey Walnut chicken but with no walnuts ($12.50 came with a side or white or fried rice) he chose fried rice. We both got the sweet tea. Non alcoholic drinks are NOT listed on the menu at all which is just an inconvenience. I loved my fried chicken wings. They were hot (temperature wise) and crispy. They came with this sauce on the side that was great. It smelled spicy (like there was a splash of hot sauce in it) and sweet but turns out it wasn't at all spicy just sweet. It was still good tho. My boyfriend HATED his food. The honey chicken literally had no flavor what so ever. (I also tasted it and totally agree) Didn't taste any honey or sweetness or chicken. Fried rice was decent but not great. Will never order that again. read more

Me and a girlfriend went there for lunch yesterday and Yen Ching was recommended by my coworkers. Scumptious!! Not greasy! Very tasty and spiced just right. The place was calm and our waitress friendly. Prices were good too for lunch. I would definately recommend and will return! Yum. read more

You can't find a better Chinese place around here if you want to eat in and you don't want to go to a buffet. The food here is fantastic and the portions are huge. Not to mention service is fast, I mean really fast. We sat down at 6:00 and were eating by 6:20. read more

Don't order online from here. Took 2 hours for delivery. 40 min past the quoted time. The food is fine just bad at delivery.

Best fried rice, and especially the Lo Mein I've ever had ! I'm horrible with the name of the dish.. ya know the one chicken with shaved celery & carrots. That was very good as well! read more

I have dietary restrictions. If I eat food with certain oils and other unhealthy ingredients, I get sick. It's unclear how shrimp fried is prepared here but it gave me a migraine. The taste was just ok. So, I will not be ordering again. read more

Hefty portions of completely forgettable food. All our dishes tasted remarkably similar to one another, bland and salty. Just a below-average Americanized Chinese restaurant. read more

We've been eating here for over 15 years and we plan to never return after today. 1) they took close to 30 minutes to take our order; 2) fifteen minutes after we placed our order, they told my husband they were out of Chinese steak but would replace it with szechuan steak 3) the crab rangoon we ordered was still frozen on the inside, had to send back to recook 4) wonton soup was also cold. We didn't make a fuss about any of the above issues. My biggest issue was with the check. The Chinese steak was $15.75 and the Szechuan steak was $16.75. On principle, I'd expect them to charge us for the Chinese steak since that's what we ordered, but settled for the Szechuan steak. Nope, they charged us $16.75. No biggie, I'll just take it from the tip (remember it took 30 minutes to place our orders). But they charged us a mandatory tip for a party of five. I told them to remove the tip amount because the service didn't deserve $15. They refused and even threatened to call the police!! So they ran my card, I scratched out the $15 tip amount and replaced it with a $10 tip. In hindsight, I should have given even less than that. But they've lost a customer. It's sad when a change in management ruins a once great restaurant. read more

Nothing fancy but solid food, good service. Food was ready on time, not too expensive.

Food was ok, egg rolls very greasy. Dining room needs fleshing up. No hot tea :(. Large portions

This is the only Chinese chain I will eat at for the most part but this particular one had someone with the worst customer service ever but the food is always good here so nothing to complain about there pretty Moderately priced and never takes too long to make my food recommend them to anyone read more

Best Chinese place hands down! I also love that their General Tso chicken is actually spicy too. Always my go to
