It really irks me when you order a soft drink with the glass loaded with ice, and after consuming all of maybe 5 ozs., ask for a refill, and are told "No free refils". We all know that a glass of soda cost the restaurant about three cents. To make a long story short, I asked to speak with the manager. I asked him why they don't put that in parentheses under the item on the menu and then he started telling me about the financial situation of the restaurant and this and that and blah blah blah and I told him look, I am the customer here", and tried to convey my principal factor to him on how every restaurant in the country in all 50 states have no problem giving free refills. It's one thing that we as Americans, (hint) came to expect, so these people just lost a customer. I will tell all my friends not to go there or it's up to them if they want to pay for a second drink but because of this manager's negative attitude I definitely won't be going back there. read more

Probably the best Chinese food in Salem, NH. The food is even better if you eat it at the restaurant rather than take out. Mai Tais are strong so bring a DD if you want to try one! read more

We love ordering out from here. Friendly and speedy! The sushi is usually very good but sometimes it comes with a little hard to chew rice! Other than that I love to eat the general gao with steamed white rice and veggies! The hosts are super friendly and the lounge area has cool blue lighting and nice trendy music Worth the check out read more

Love me some yang mings. I like to sit in the lounge and my go to drink is an ice bowl. Fun low key place to have a few drinks and Chinese food. read more

So disappointed in this restaurant. Used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant, we were walked into walls of plastic and then after we ordered our food utensils and drinks were practically thrown at us. Both waiters wouldn't come near us to totally ridiculous. I'm guessing seeing the place was empty other then us, others feel the same way . Sorry but we won't be back ... ever! read more

As far as dining in Salem, NH goes - this is one of the best spots. The menu has a really nice variety of sushi (raw and non-raw), apps, and cooked meals. Everything is always beautifully plated and tasty. Plus, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Definitely one of my go-to's when I am in town. read more

Said by a girl thats worked here for ten years and made a huge issue so unprofessional dont go here unless you wanna get harassed by the staff!! she told another table about it and we could hear her ranting and pointing to us as the table uncomfortably stared at us. not to mention Saw a mouse running around by the sushi bar too and I smelled ass . the waitress was overall horrible and a bitch, highly suggest tomo read more

This is are go to Chinese restaurant! Always good, always consistent. Great customer service.

I love Yang Ming, but I definitely recommend it for a sit-in lunch rather than for dinner. Their portions at lunch are the same as for dinner, but their prices are significantly more affordable at lunch. You can choose a main dish that comes with rice, a side and soup, and every meal I've tried has been delicious! Regarding their take out, however, in my experience the prices are fairly high and the portions are not very large. In general- sit-in lunch is the way to go! read more

Service is pretty bad. Chinese food staples are below average. Atmosphere is a nightmare. It also had to be about 80 degrees in the restaurant. Everyone was dying of heat. Won't go back. Drinks are the only saving Grace even though it'll take 15 minutes before you get it. read more

This is probably the best bang for your buck Chinese food joint around the area. The lunch-sized portion looks more like it's meant for dinner! I was never able to finish the entire meal in one sitting. There is a wide variety of options to choose from. The sushi was pretty good also. read more

My all time favorite Restaurant , The lunch specials are a nice low prices . With a wide verify of dishes to choose from. A must have is the crazy Markie . The staff is great very friendly & helpful. Highly recommend . read more

Very good quality Chinese restaurant. Very big dishes and good quantity. So much I could not finished but I wanted to try out different things. I think this place specialized in drinks and sushi in addition to their Chinese food. Very good quality. read more

Seated in a booth near front door and it was cold. The floor and surrounding tables were dirty. Sushi was sub-par. Drinks were good, that's about it. Won't be returning for food, there are much better sushi places in the local area. read more

Had dinner last night and it did not disappoint. We had the eggplant in garlic sauce w/shrimp. Absolutely delicious. Along with that, the Hunan crispy fish with a fantastic, slightly, spicy sauce. Highly recommended. Got a few traditional Chinese food items as well... chicken fingers, chicken wings, house rice...which if you've never had, is a white, sticky rice with small shrimps and chicken, very flavorful if you'd like to try something different than fried rice with pork. The staff is always helpful and smiling. Just a great place for dinner, whether it's in the dining room or the bar. Heck, it's even nice to unwind after work with a drink. read more

I am writing this review as I sit in my bedroom and battle with the coronavirus. I have been feeling very sick and unable to really care or cook for myself, and decided to call Yang Ming to place an order for delivery. I made it a priority to let the kind woman on the other end of the phone know that I'm sick, I need to pay for my food over the phone by credit card, and that it was very important for the delivery driver to just leave the food on the front door step when he gets here... Upon learning that I was ill, the woman immediately began recommending various vitamins and hot teas to help me with my symptoms. I thanked her for her concern and the recommendations, and began to place my order: one large hot egg drop soup, a small order of crab rangoons, beef teriyaki, and vegetable fried rice. About 30 minutes goes by and finally the order gets here. I opened the bag, and was honestly stunned when I found that the woman had placed an assortment of 3 different large hot soups in the bag for me to try in order to help me feel better from the virus.. I just wanted to say that I have been crying for about 20 minutes now, and wanted to thank the lady and staff at Yang Ming for their generosity and the overall concern that they have for their customers.. Thank you for standing by your community and customers in a time of need. If I could give this place 10 stars, I certainly would... At a time when I can not even care for myself, Yang Ming cared for me... These are the kind of interactions between small business and customer that you can never forget. Thank you again.. you don't know how much your customers appreciate you. read more

Tried this place out for the first time last night and they didn't disappoint food was really good and ready quickly !

Sub par Chinese;( basic fingers, dried beef, and w boneless Fatty ribs) Noodle soup had NO taste Service felt pressured (like are u done yet) Sushi was decent Wouldn't go back read more

Oh I'm so disappointed!! We've been coming here for years and really enjoyed this place. We went last night and they were quite busy, our food arrived quickly and it was very good. My hubby asked for a refill on his soda, and was told 'no refill'. Well that's odd. He went to talk to the manager/owner and again was told 'no refill', he was also told that any refill he had in our past trips had been a courtesy. They charge about $1.50+ for a glass of soda - the typical watered down, too much ice, 3 sips your done size. It costs them pennies to fill that cup, offering refills is certainly not taking money out of their pockets. Sadly, were now looking for a new Chinese place. read more

Very pleasant experience. Food was great and service staff were extremely friendly. Able to accommodate larger families or groups. read more

We tried Yang Ming after reading it was the highest rated Chinese food place in NH. DISCLAIMER: That isn't saying much. Now, that aside, I have to say the food is pretty darn good for a typical Chinese take out place. Our first visit was a dine-in affair and I was thrilled. Since then we have gotten take out 5 or 6 times and it has always been decent. I give them credit for that as I have been disappointed by many, many places that can't seem to provide even the basics on a quality level. I mean, c'mon, what world do we live in when pork fried rice is hit and miss or when chicken fingers are dried out and lousy (looking at YOU Peking Garden of Andover). Anyway, until I am convinced otherwise this is my new go-to Chinese take out spot. Pass read more

Was so excited to try the Yang Ming. Food looks so good on the website and Yelp! We ordered some to take out. The food is done well, except for the hot and sour soup which was thin, had almost no veggies or tofu in it and too much vinegar (very disappointing). Unfortunately there is so much oil/grease in the food we could not eat it. Not sure why they are cooking with so much grease, the food would be four or five stars if they eliminated 3/4 of the cooking oil/grease. read more

Very crispy Peking duck. Good supply of pancakes,cucumber and scallions. Kind of a wait for them to prepare but as expected. Very delicious.

Update: we decide to try this place out again and were very happy with our food. I got Udon and my husband got Pan fried noodles. Both were very good, and the Udon was full of tasty seafood. It tasted very healthy, yay! The delivery person was great just like the last time, and early. Win. read more

I feel like the food here has gotten better. No msg, much better than Lucky Dragon next door. Food seems fresher, and not doused in salty crap. The restaurant is dated, but service is always great, and fast. Delivery same, always arrives hot, ( unless it is NYE, then i wouldn't expect it piping hot anyway) We have never had a screw up with our food in the 7 or so yrs we've been coming here. read more

Nice place friendly staff fast & efficient good price fresh seafood I liked the orange chicken sandwich and rice

Ok food at its best Fried rice was not good didn't taste good the mall has better fried rice n there's suck The portions r ok not big not small The servers and employees in general r great This place is more for the eyes than the pallet It's very beautiful from decor to the food presentation/plating But food is to be eaten not jus for the eyes It's seems to be a place for mixed drinks not really for "Chinese food" read more

Exceptional! 1st visit. Best crab rangoon. Clean and fresh and great service. Will be back!

It was the first time I've been here, and given the quality of Chinese food in Salem, NH that I had come to expect, I was pleasantly surprised. Their lunch bento box was well-rounded, their tempura crisp and sushi rice sweet. And I have to say, their tea impressed. read more

really great food! probably the best you'll find in the area! service was a little odd, only because we weren't really sure who was our server because 2-3 people were at our table at different times helping us... but that's not really a bad thing! sushi was great! soup delicious! drinks yummy! get the pot of tea - it's delicious! will go again! read more

Apparently this is my favorite place to review.... Ordered again tonight and everything was fantastic! Picture perfect and delicious!!! You can see with my reviews that it's not very consistent, but I will say that the majority of the time it's great. I'm still not positive on the best day or time to order to ensure that the food will be at its best.....to be determined. read more

I need to drop a star as Yang Ming is far too inconsistent to deserve more than three. We've had some very good meals from Yang Ming. But we've had a few that were just so so. And yesterday was a so so day. Whether it be a pu pu platter, fried rice, lo mein, or a specialty, I just don't know what to expect from one visit to the next. I have not had a real bad experience to date. But because of the inconsistency in quality, I can't give more than three stars. read more

Update: The Fact they reached out to express concern goes a long with me. I will be happy to give it another try. Second try with thee guys. Got a steak bento box and the steak was dry, precooked, over done and dry. It also took like 45 minutes for it to be ready and they were doing repairs while I was waiting and it was loud with hammering at the bar. Not a good experience at all. read more

Yang Ming is the ONLY place to go for chinese/Japanease in the Southern NH area. There Sushi will knock your socks off, so fresh and delicious. I have eaten sushi in many major citys's throughout this country, and nothing tastes as good as it does at Yang's. The owners (May & Ping) are an adorable couple, that live in Chinatown in Boston and bring fresh fish and food to you daily. They are passionate about what they do and they are great about keeping you coming back for more. Vanessa, the bartender, is warm and inviting. She always greets you with a smile and is ready to take your drink order (if she hasent already mesmorized it). They serve up yummy house mia tia's any day of the week and if you look around the bar you get the idea that is what many people stop in frequently for. I promise you will not be dissapointed and you bill be BACK! read more

Bad attitude towards new customers. I was first in line to order food, but the attendant asked me to wait while serving the customer behind me, maybe he's a regular while I am new. And below average food. Never go back again! read more
