Food is tasteless. If that's Chinese, I don't like Chinese. If you can finish a whole plate of food there, you should be on Fear Factor!

Much better than Panda Express! Food is outstanding Parking not the best though. read more

First time I had this place. The orange chicken was horrible. I wish I lived closer so I could take it back. it wasn't fried like all the other Chinese places. It was like smushy breading on the outside of chicken with sauce on it. The fried rice wasn't fried either. It was like white rice with sauce on it. Gross. Never going back. Waste of money. The lady was really hard to understand. I was also going to order something else, but she was busy in the back talking while the people making the food stood there and looked at me. Horrible Service. read more

Yan's - Gross Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

Had great Peking Pork, Mongolian Beef, and Orange Chicken. They have delicious sauces here! The staff here is also very friendly and welcoming. Place is very clean and professional. I really like the fact that their kitchen is open for public View and very neat and tidy. Would definitely come back again. read more

I don't know why this place only has 3 stars! This is the first time my family and I are trying Yan's, and it had to be during COVID19. We ordered our food, picked it up and really wasn't expecting anything more than your typical Chinese food. We were very pleasantly surprised! The food was flavorful, grilled/cooked just right, and even hit the right marks for spiciness. The ORANGE CHICKEN wasn't as crunchy as some other places, but the breading had a deliciously different taste, and the sauce was good too! (Not overly tart or sweet or even generic!) I don't think it was spicy, but I can handle Carolina Reapers, so no surprise there. One of my children did think it was a little spicy, though. He preferred their sesame chicken. The SESAME CHICKEN was bomb! Every now and then, you'd get crispier pieces, which is the best part in my book. I normally don't care for orange chicken, sesame chicken, or General Tso's, but I thoroughly enjoyed the heck out of Yan's orange AND sesame chicken dishes! We also ordered MONGOLIAN BEEF....which is typically not as spicy as it's pictured on the menu....but this time someone got it right! Thank you Yan's! It was definitely spicier than the orange chicken, but since my kids usually reach for orange chicken over this, then it worked out just fine. (Just know that orange chicken might be spicy for some kiddos.) And lastly, we come to the CHICKEN LO MEIN. It was NOT plain! Yay! It actually had really good flavor and the noodles didn't taste starchy (pasty? Flour-y? Idk the right word to describe it) like they sometimes do at various restaurants. It was delicious! Overall, we had a great first try! I hope the next time is just as good! The only down side is that the serving size (entrees) aren't that big. They only serve 1-2 people. It was by the grace of God that we were actually able to feed and fill 5 hungry family members. Definitely give this place a try! I agree with the other reviewer who prefers to support our local small businesses. P.s.: My kids were actually expecting us to bring home food from a more popular Chinese chain, so they were a little disappointed to see that it wasn't from there. But as soon as they tried it, my oldest child said, "Oh wow. Yeah, that sesame chicken IS good." My middle child said, "I like this place. It's good!" And my 6 year old was pretty darn happy too! Thank you for cooking up a great meal! read more

I've been here a few times and never disappoints. The flavor of their food is amazing. Food is fresh and fast. Plus you get a ton of food for the money. read more

Yan's - Kung Pao chicken take out. Delicious!! - Chinese Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

I have been going to Yan's for 7-8yrs now and have never had an issue, on the contrary, they provide amazing service, great quality in food and such awesome customer service! Highly recommend this place, everything here is delicious, even their specialty drinks. My favorite are Taro blended boba and Boba Milk Tea, till this day, I have tried different places but nothing beats theirs. read more

So far the better tasting of all the Chinese restaurants around here. I can get 3 meals out of 1 main dish. read more

This place is pretty horrible. The food is so greasy they have to wrap the to-go box in a BAG to keep it from leaking all over the place. I love rib-sticking terrible food, but when the grease runneth over, that's just too much. When I do eat here, I ask them to go easy on the cooking oil which definitely helps the leakage situation they have going on over there. Or I just take the safe route and get fried rice. I don't want to be all negative so I will say the portion sizes are good, the staff is friendly and the prices are fair. read more

They only have pick up and it's a small window you walk up to after you order online or on the phone. When I paid, the woman asked for my pin to my card. I told her I was not comfortable giving it to her and that to just hit the X for credit. She tried it and then told me it didn't work so I had to give it to her, I was not happy about that. They should have a system where they can allow the customers to do this themselves. The food was ok, the sesame chicken was dry, the kung pao chicken barely had any peanuts in it. The pan friend noodles looked grey and the vegetables had a weird taste. Just the egg rolls and the rice were ok. The portions were also much smaller than other Chinese places we have tried, especially for almost $50 worth of food. read more

Their orange chicken was the worst I've ever had I'd rather douse my chicken in expired syrup. I also ordered crab rangoons. It was like eating a cupcake read more

Food bland need more flavor. Order at counter. Served on paper plate was here at lunch time and only three people. It's ok but not the best. read more

Yan's - Chinese Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

It is a good eat. They use all white meat chicken and give you plenty to eat. My wife always gets sweet and sour chicken. It is enough to feed to boys from one plate. They all love it. The orange chicken is is just too sweet for me. If it wasnt so syrupy and had more spice, it would be better. I like white meat chicken with some spice. Good, but just too sweet. Mongolian beef is very tasty. Thats usually what I get. Again, not quite the kick I like. I usually add some sriracha hot sauce. Mmmmmm. read more

This place was a big disappointment. The only thing it has going for it is that the servings were pretty large. Otherwise, I think Panda Express is better, except for perhaps their chow mein. read more

Sorry but this is probably some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I'll stick to wok wei for west valley Chinese food near me for now

Went here last night ordered the kung pao chicken and a small egg drop soup, I couldn't enjoy the chicken dish because it had an entire bunch of scallions (onions) my egg drop soup may as well been a bowl of water with egg and over cooked veggies it was bland to say the least. I will never go back, $12 wasted. read more

One of the best places to eat good and fresh quality Chinese food. Inexpensive and the best part it's family owned and operated. They're great! read more

This place is pretty terrible. Orange chicken was all bread and was mushy, pad Thai was sweet even when asked to be spicy. Made me super gassy and made my stomach upset. Hot garbage. Also cost 35 for three combo plates of the lowest grade of Chinese food in the whole god damn state of Arizona. Go to panda instead, TRUST ME. read more

Service was nice, but the orange chicken was beyond soggy and even their Pepsi tasted off. Definitely won't be coming to this spot again.

Worst Chinese food I ever had!!! Never ever again. The fried rice was burnt. Pad Thai was basically sugar. It was so sweet it made my chest hurt. read more

First time here for takeout. Portions were very large & provided another meal on a different day. Sauces on our beef & broccoli & sweet & sour pork were very tasty. Our new go to for Chinese takeout. read more

I am glad some people like this place. I however have been disappointed both times I have come here. This time I got beef chop suey. About 2 oz. of beef and the rest veggies. It's was bland and I got the combo too. The crab Rangoon was burned but they served it anyway. Why not I got a take out and they new I wouldn't see it till I got home. I don't recommend this place. read more

Really had to talk my family in giving this place a second chance and I really wanted some shrimp fried rice. Well we get there and the young kid takin our order wants to be any place but there. No knowledge of the menu or just didn't care. Once the order was taken we waited 25 minutes to have our food. Again a little customer service goes a long way. The food arrived and only the pan fried dumplings were good. Really loss this pick with the family. Never again. read more

This food is average at best. My husband thought it was ok, my mother hated it and I couldn't order anything because they have never heard of gluten free. When I asked if they could just leave the soy sauce off they seemed confused. We wont be going back. read more

Wow, I just signed up for Yelp after checking reviews occasionally over the years. I had to register now just to put my 2 cents in on Yan's though, among others. I was quite surprised by a few harsh reviews on Yelp for Yan's and I really disagree with nearly all of the negativity. The host guy at the front counter is a wanna-be comedian, but it's all in good fun. A restaurant should be reviewed and judged by it's food first though, and this is probably the best Asian restaurant West of 101 and certainly the best in Goodyear and Avondale that we've had. I've eaten at hundreds of Asian restaurants all around the country and was pleasantly surpised when Yan's opened. They have a respectable hot and sour soup, excellent sized portions and the food is all freshly cooked to order. The Mongolian Beef has better quality meat than most and is very good. They even had Asians doing the cooking, can't find that at PeiWei or Panda, etc. these days. Do yourself a favor, try this place for yourself. If you don't like the relatively simple, but clean, decor then take it home to eat. read more

We ordered it for delievery with http://www.youbuyandwefly.com. It's resonably priced and very yummy. We'll order again. I can't comment on the actual location though because again we ordered delievery. I had the hot and sour soup and it was delicous, we also ordered some sweet and sour pork, orange chicken, and chicken chow main it was all good! read more

Great staff, great food, always fresh, always delicious! Yan's is our go to familt place.

This place is great! I love the food and portions. It's way better than Panda Express.

Called in my order at 5:45p on a Thursday night. The woman who answered was very efficient. After I ordered, she gave me my total and asked when I would like to pick up the food. I told her 15 minutes, which was fine by her. I drove over to pick it up and was able to park right in front. When I walked in and there were two women behind the counter helping a couple of customers. While waiting, I noticed I could see right into the kitchen, which always reassures me a little bit. The place was mostly empty, though there were several tables. Seemed small, but fairly clean. My food was all ready and the woman helping me was kind enough to split my transaction (part cash, part on my card). Then I was on my way. When I got home, the food was still piping hot (so I know it wasn't sitting on the counter for too long before I got there). I was thinking of ordering some of their more interesting sounding menu items, but my sister decided we should try their basic dishes to 'get a feel for the place.' I ordered chicken egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, and vegetable chow mein. Total came to like $28. Totally do-able. We liked everything but the chow mein, which was rather bland. Maybe if we had added chicken or something it would have been more flavorful. The chicken was all white meat, and the beef was not super fatty (which you see sometimes in cheap Chinese food). Pretty decent and crazy close to my house. We will be returning again. read more

I always get vegetable chop Suey the best very fresh! I've tried other Chinese restaurants this place has sweet-and-sour shrimp very good too. read more

Totally good experience, for non over seasoned and salty food. Great layout and good customer service. Obviously they have been making changes because the other reviews do not do proper justice. Worth the time for a quick cheap meal. read more

Service is good....but there's def much better chinese food out there.

I don't understand all these terrible reviews. I absolutely love yans. My family and I eat here almost twice a week every week and we have yet to have a bad experience. The food is amazingly fresh and the service is always great. This place is family owned, and they will always greet you with a smile (: read more

Thought we try this place out cuz we were hungry and it was next to where we were. It was a disappointment...ordered the salt and pepper pork chops and it was not good. Looked nothing like the picture. Meat was dry and hard, and too salty. On top of that it was kinda pricey. Not again read more

This place has some of the best Chinese food in Goodyear. I stopped in on a whim to grab some chicken on a stick and black pepper chicken one night. This was enough for a dinner for 2 with some left overs. I was pleasantly surprised when I got to eating this as I did not have any high expectations. Both of the items were delicious in their own way! read more

love love love this place spent so much time he manager always comes over and sits with us when we eat.. need more chop stick action in phoenix.. but will drive/ride when ever the hunger hits..!!! read more

Best Chinese food in the West Valley. Very friendly and great price for the portions. Highly recommend you go here and support a local business instead of a chain restaurant like Panda Express. Authentic Chinese cooked by Chinese staff. read more

Unfortunately, I have to leave Yan's a 2-star review. We used to go here all the time when we first moved down to Goodyear. It's close to home, and we had heard great things about it. Those turned out to be true--great, fast service, yummy food, nice employees, etc. However, the last 3 or 4 times ended up being not so great at all. At first, we just thought it was a fluke. Then, the 2nd time, coincidence? After that, we have decided that we will probably not go there again unfortunately :( Sad, because we used to love Yan's! We aren't sure what happened, but here are the negatives we've experienced lately: We ALWAYS get the Crab Rangoons with our meals every time. (By the way, we always call in and order take-out rather than eating there since it's so close to home.) They are usually great with the sauce they come with, but the last 3-4 times have not been so great. One time, they forgot to give us the sauce, which we did not notice until we had started eating our food. They are difficult to eat without sauce ;) The next few times, we had sauce, but it was extremely runny and seemed watered down... literally. The taste was completely diluted and different, as if they had run out or something and wanted to re-use what they had left. Not good :( The fact that it happened more than once is concerning. We always call in and order it as take-out, and they tell us 10-15 minutes (or something along those lines.) We always arrive at the expected time, or sometimes a little later, and walk in to pick it up. At first, they were a few minutes later than expected, but lately it seems like they don't even put the order in until we walk into the restaurant. When I say "seems like," I mean we ask for our order, and they tell the cooks to make it right in front of us. Ok, so why did we call in and order over the phone if we could have just saved ourselves the phone call and just walked in to order? So we sit and wait for the ~15 minutes while they make our order. This is totally fine, because it is fresh and usually good food, but it takes twice the amount of estimated time (and again, why even bother calling in if they don't put the order in until you arrive??!) This has happened several times now, not just once or twice. The same dishes we used to love at Yan's don't seem to be of the same quality they used to be. They aren't as flavourful, and the meat seems to be very "fatty" at times. It wasn't always like this... It just seems like corners are being cut to make an extra buck. I know that "times are tough" right now, as much as I hate to keep saying that, and that most businesses are struggling right now, but it's just sad to see it happen right in front of us. We used to love going here, but now we just don't feel like spending the money if we are not satisfied. Hopefully it changes back to being a great place, but until then I have to leave then a 2-star review. read more

Now look, if you only like high end expensive Chinese food, this may not be the place for you. However, if you like late night, wonderfully terrible Chinese food this is your place! I loved the food! I like all kinds of Chinese food and mean no disrespect to this establishment at all. The customer service was fantastic! I called in to order and only waited a few minutes once I arrived to pick it up. I had the pot stickers, pan fried, the orange chicken, and BBQ pork lo mien. Everything was very good, fresh and flavorful. You could see, what looked to be a family in the back cooking the food. The place was clean and a single tv on the wall playing college football. The portions were great. I'm having leftovers this morning as Chinese is my favorite breakfast! Pay no attention to the other reviews about portion or greasy food, as I found neither to be true. read more

We live really close by so we frequently order from here. The different chicken options (like the orange chicken or teriyaki chicken) are not too great so we usually stick to ordering the fried rice and chow mein. Those are some pretty safe options. We usually call ahead of time so we don't have to wait too long for our food. Not bad. We still plan on going often. Definitely check it out if you're in the area and want something better than Panda Express. read more
