Came here for the lunch special $11.83 for the entree, comes with soup or rice + an egg roll. Their drinks are $1.80. I got the general tsos chicken. Very underwhelming. The menu had a spice sign next to it but it wasn't spicy not even a teeny bit, idk. What I will say is it wasn't nasty and it was 100% fresh. There was one guy in there and he cooked me and another persons lunch special really quickly and gave us our food to go at the same time, when he was done cooking. It was piping hot for hours. read more

I opted to stop here as I wanted some Chinese food. I walked in and a person was sitting by the register but would not talk. I waited a couple of minutes and someone came out to take my order. Short wait and I was on my way. The food was good but probably would have been better had I not waited 10-15 minutes to eat it in my office. I will go back. The place was empty and could have used a little cleaning but nothing to be alarmed about. read more

Me and my family of 4 have lived here for six months and we've eaten at this restaurant a few times a month for the past five months. It's usually a hit, but today in particular was a miss as I'm making me and the kids plate after their dad dropped the food off on the way to work we come across 2 maggots in our lo mein. Now their dad is at work saying he hate he didn't look at his food before eating it. read more

New to area and looking for a go to Chinese carry out. Very clean, nice menu and excellent food. Egg rolls were crisp not greasy. Chicken w/broc tender and tasty, beef with vegetable was seasoned nice not over garlic or sweet tasting. We will be back. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I order from here all the time. The food is always amazing, and they package everything so well so that nothing spills when you transport it home. Food is consistent - it always tastes exactly the same, and it's delicious. I love the Thai Basil with Chicken, but the teriyaki chicken, and the pad Thai with chicken are so good as well. read more

I haven't been to Yan's in a while so I thought I would stop in since I was in the area. I called ahead and ordered Pork Egg Foo Yong, Lo-Mein noodles and some Crab Rangoon. My order was ready in about 20 minutes. The food quantities were generous - three (3) large Pork Egg Foo Yong patties (most places only serve two) with brown gravy and a really large helping of lo-mein with thick noodles. The six crab rangoon were crispy outside with a warm cream cheese filling along with a sweet duck sauce for dipping them. Good food and good service. read more

We finally tried Yan's cafe for takeout and I wish we would've tried it sooner! The dining room is closed but it was a great takeout dinner with great prices. We ordered online and got the sesame chicken combo dinner (includes egg roll, fried rice and soup) for $12.75, house lo mein for $12.75 and the triple teriyaki entree for $15.95. We received a free 5 piece dumpling with our order and were given 7 dumplings instead. The quality of all the food was great, and the portions were large. We will definitely be back for takeout! read more

Yan's Cafe is just the perfect spot for American Chinese food. Major cheat meal! CHEAPER than Panda Express, the food tastes so much better here! Not only does your meal come with rice and egg roll, it also comes with all you can drink soup, from the favorites of egg drop and hot and spicy. Food comes out super fast and hot so you know it's freshly made. Minor drawback here is that there's usually only one host/server that it can take some time to get your order in, but he does his best that he can. So far, had sweet and sour and general chicken but all their dishes look delicious. read more

I ordered from here twice and both time's our chicken dishes was old wet and soggy. I will not be eating here again

Walked in and walked out wasn't very nice inside we wanted to dine in. This is walk up to counter and order or take out. But I heard the food was good from a friend read more

This is a great everyday place for take out Chinese food. They have the best fried wonton and Happy Family. Always great service too.

Great Chinese takeout! Good menu selection and reasonable prices. It's the only one I will go to now. read more

This is the best rice in the city and beyond. It being ducked off in Alpharetta shouldn't matter. If you appreciate Chinese food this is where you will go. read more

We found this restaurant on Yelp as it had great reviews! They were correct! Even in COVID, it was very easy to pickup our order. We ordered our meal online and paid at the restaurant when picking up. Their menu is very extensive. They have combination meals for both lunch and dinner. We ordered the Mongolian Beef combination dinner including the entree, fried rice and egg roll. Also ordered an entree size of Chicken Lo Mein. Both dishes were delicious and plentiful in size. As an appetizer, we tried the spring rolls which were bigger than expected and very tasty. I was very impressed with this restaurant and look forward to going back in the future. read more

Very good and very friendly. They are always busy and seem to be stretched thin a lot so check your order for accuracy before you head home to dig in! read more

Decent but only takeout. Owners are nice. Sesame chicken a bit too soggy but soup is great

Carry out only? Come on, time to open up dining room, or just close the doors. It's ridiculous that I'm April of 2022 you are still acting like you might die if someone comes within 20' of you. read more

I'm a fan. It's good, plentiful, and pretty close. I dropped in and had some lunch today. The whole thing cost me $7.00 including tax. There are some more expensive items than the tofu dish I got, but they won't break the bank. For your $6-8 you get a cup of soup, an egg roll, and whatever American-Chinese meal you want with a side of rice (fried if you prefer). Also included in that price is friendly, attentive service. I guess I should mention I had the homestyle tofu made spicy. It was pretty durn good. I'm not gonna lie though, I thought about the General Tsao's chicken... :-P read more

Ordered 3 entrees soups and egg roles. None of it was good except for a single egg drop soup. Singapore rice noodles was not even remotely the right color much less favor. Sesame chicken was doughy and not at all crispy. Interaction with the staff was great however. read more

I drive around here on a regular basis and had never notice it. It is located in a small strip mall, next to Cake World. We went stopped in a Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was empty and parking was ample. It smelled wonderful inside and we go to choose where we wanted to sit. The one waiter/host/bus person was quick to greet us and offer the menus. We asked for water and were given Kirkland water bottles (that was a bit odd) but the waiter told us they were out of ice. I appreciated the cold bottled water at no charge, thank you. The restaurant was clean, the tables and the floors were very pretty decorated and the menu was simple. We ordered pork fried rice, chicken lo mein and SA chicken. It took a little bit for the food to arrive, but once at the table there was plenty for our family of four. The kiddos are picky eaters but they enjoyed all of the dishes and clean their plates. The SS chicken was crispy and the sauce was sweet with a little tang. The Lo Mein was delicious, light sauce and the chicken was moist and plenty. The fried rice was the least of our favorite as the onions were a little on the big side and not completely cooked, the pork was a bit dry as well. But even with that it was better than most of the other Chinese restaurants we have been to. We will definitely visit again,. read more

The place is super clean, cafe style restaurant that has booth and tables. Very well maintained. A lot of options in the menu including few thai choices (check out my menu pictures). Super friendly service. The food was amazing. The meat was so fresh and tender. On point! Cant wait to dine in! Would def recommend this place! Check them out if you live around the milton area or visiting. read more

If you see Madelyn A give a place a five star rating, you know it's gotta be great! I've had this place on my list since seeing her review over a year ago but I never made it there until tonight. I took the family and we all loved it. Dinner combinations are a great value. I had a Thai Basil Chicken dish that came with soup, fried rice and an egg roll and it was less that $11. I'm a huge fan of basil and this dish was perfect for a basil lover. The soup was good, the egg roll was very good and the entree was great. I asked for it to be extra spicy but I didn't even taste a hint of spice unfortunately. My wife and kids were very happy with their choices and the whole experience. Service was great! read more

On a visit to Atlanta, We looked up Chinese food and not knowing anything about it, except that it had a 4 out of 5 stars, we just decided to choose Yan's cafe. What a diamond of a find!!!!! The prices are ridiculously reasonable! The cafe was small but very, very nice. Very clean! And the food is absolutely fantastic!!! Instead of a cup of egg drop soup, my mother ordered a bowl!! Oh my goodness, it probably feeds 4 people! My husband got the Kung Pao chicken and I got the teriyaki vegetables. Um um! I was so full but I couldn't stop eating!!Jesse, the server, was awesome! I'm trying to think of something that I was disappointed in to say- but I can't think of anything! And while we sat there, they did some carry out business!!!! Wow! So, all I can say is - we'll be back!! read more

This was my go to spot for the past year. Just placed a $60 UberEats order and when it arrived we began to chow down. No lie, my fried wings were rotten. The moment I hit into it I knew something wasn't right. Then when I smelled the wing it reeked of a fishy rancid smell. Guess I'm on the hunt for a new place **update** If I could rate zero I would. One thing I could say is I NEVER had bad customer service there until now. You will see the new rush of complaints of the rude Angela. Well, I've met her now. This employee basically calls me a liar and left the sarcastic "hun" instead of reaching out to rectify my complaint. ABSOLUTE joke. Goes to support all the new complaint of crappy customer service. Please review the attached employee comment and my proof of purchase from their disgusting restaurant. AVOID AT ALL COST. At this point I'll rejoice when they either fire Angela or go out of business. **update** Went to the restaurant in person to ensure the owner is aware of the extreme disrespect that is being dished out by Angela. Angela initially told me no owner was in and that it was only a chef that did not speak English. Then threatened to call the police if I did not leave. Though tough I remained respectful and told her that I will await a manager or owner and that calling the police is fine as I did nothing wrong. She hid in the back for 30 min. Finally the main person emerged (she's always been a true doll with great customer service). I expressed to her what has been taken place and showed her the numerous reviews complaining of Angela. Until Angela is gone I will not patronize this establishment. read more

We order take out from here at about 2-3 times a month for my 93 year old Aunt. She loves it. The food has consistently been fresh and tasty. The owner and workers are always friendly. I love their egg rolls. Similar to New York style which you can't always find. read more

Wow! This is the best Chinese take out I have had in years! We ordered from Yan's last night and were really impressed by the quality of the food. We had the Crab Rangoon, Mongolian Beef, Hunan Chicken, and Chinese doughnuts. The flavors were really spot-on and delicious and everything was fresh. You could tell the fried items (Rangoon, eggs rolls, and doughnuts) were made in-house and not frozen ones dumped into a fryer. I don't even normally eat my egg rolls and I devoured this one. A+ Americanized Chinese takeout. Delicious at a great value. Will be a return customer! read more

Its good and I'm glad, I just moved to Alpharetta, Ill admit Im not too happy about it. But at least I found decent Chinese food. So Far I have only come for lunch, but things look promising here. The service is good, the food is good, and the place is clean. The space is kinda small so I dunno if they ever get really busy it could be hard to get food. read more

Jessie an Jerry are fantastic After reading all comments about Angela their very rude employee sounds like yes she's a family friend, but they would do themselves a favor an fire her. Sometimes you have to do what's best for your family business. UPDATE***** I'm sorry I have to change my review at this point. We have been eating here for about a year An love Jerry an Jessie they are amazing!!!!! BUT THE NEW GIRL ANGELA THEY HIRED IS AWFUL.... her personally towards customers isn't great. I hate to say this but at this point I won't be returning.... love this place. Have been coming here about 9 months now. Everything is cooked fresh by the chef who is the owner. His son an daughter run the rest of the restaurant. They are so beyond sweet and friendly. If your looking for amazing food this is it!!! Egg drop soup is the bomb, sesame chicken, cashew chicken (a few of our favs) read more

They are only having takeout service at this time, but that's exactly what we're looking for. So we ordered the spring rolls which were very good and the hot and sour soup was really good and nice and hot temp wise. We got the general chows chicken, which is very good and we also got the Kung pow beef, which was very savory... I know you're definitely order again! read more

Overall...very satisfying!! Decided to try somewhere new for lunch and was not disappointed! It's a small restaurant that I feel most will never give a second glance, but honestly should! With chic inside furbishing, I was actually impressed with how clean and nice the inside looked. Service: came in around noon so we were given the lunch menu by the only server there. Polite and friendly, she did an awesome job even though it was just her running around cleaning the tables and getting the order. The restaurant wasn't too busy and she gave us plenty of time to look over the menu and decide. She was very patient as we asked a few questions regarding the menu. Food: I decided to get the kung Pao 3 (shrimp, chicken, beef) for $7.25 came included with soup, your choice of fried rice or steamed rice, and a large egg roll. Thor choice of soup are your standard egg drop, hot and sour, and wonton. I decided to get the wonton and was pleasantly surprised to how good the soup was. I would honestly consider coming back just for the soup. My actual meal was delicious! Not too spicy but with enough kick for me to be satisfied 4/5- I would definitely come back. Even though the lunch pricing is so cheap the quality and care they put in their food is impressive! read more

We wanted general tsos shrimp... Didnt know we were getting general tsos breading and overly cooked small shrimp in a heavy breading to appear large because PLEASE YANS CAFE ! The heavy breading is not healthy or FUN to eat! Its bad... How can you allow us to spend $20 on this trash and expect a happy/satisfied customer. Spring rolls just dripping with oil. Totally unsatisfactory! Look at the photo I didn't need or want that breading in my stomach! I ordered shrimp! I wanted nicely prepared cooked and properly cooked shrimp DISSAPOINTED read more

Our food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. They are also very friendly and helpful. Very yummy - you should definitely go!

Not sure how one can mess up general tso but they did. The chicken tasted like old grease and had no sauce. The lo mein was sub par. Chinese food usually had a low bar but they set it even lower. Won't eat here again. Don't even get me started on how difficult it was to place a order over the phone. read more

Yan's Cafe - L7. General Tso's Chicken Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

This is our fav Chinese place!!! We haven't lived in the area for about 4.5yrs and still make the drive here for it! They are take out only now but we never did dine in anyway, so we don't care about that. Their prices are fair and it's a good value for the amount of food you get. Their food is delicious and their service is always fast! All of the staff is really friendly too. I miss having them open more would be my only complaint... they are closed Sundays and they close at 8 on the days they are open. We always seem to be available to go there on Sundays or too close to closing time! We would eat there more often if they were open all weekend. read more

Nice spot, appreciate that they deliver. This place actually came up a little farther than what I expected, but guess that's a Yelp issue. I came here looking for some good Chinese food that was open late, and the reviews on here were good. I ordered the beef and broccoli and was not disappointed. The customer service here was really nice too, and they were quite friendly. read more

The customer service in this place is awful! I ordered twice from this place and they cancelled my order! I'm officially looking for a new go to Asian restaurant. Any recommendations? read more

I was craving some Asian food and was going to go to my usual spot when I found this place on Yelp. I used the Yelp app to order my go to Chinese--kung pao chicken. You can order just the meal or for a dollar or two more you can order the combo dinner which comes with fried rice, an egg roll, and your choice of soup. My total was $10.67 with tax and tip, which I found to be a great deal. My only concern was once I placed my order it told me my order would be ready in 45-60 minutes. However, about ten minutes later I received a notification which said my food would be ready in 10 minutes. It really only took about 20 minutes from the time I ordered until it was ready. The food was good, fresh, and definitely met my craving for Chinese food. The portions were large and I definitely had enough for leftovers the next day. Seems like a solid Chinese takeout or delivery restaurant. read more
