Not from around here. Chinese food sounded good, but I'm always a bit skeptical. The service, impeccable, the hot and sour soup was the best I've had in a while, and the rest of the meal followed suit. If I was local, I would be a regular. Give it a try! read more

I didn't have as good experience as others. I arrived on a Sunday afternoon. Only 2 people working there so that should have been a clue. I got the house special with shrimp and scallops. The veggies were fresh but 3 tough shrimp and no scallops. The honey chicken was uneatable so was the Rangoon. Hot and sour soup was at best lukewarm. The shrimp eggfoyung was brown and overcooked and charged $2.00 extra because of egg prices The kitchen was cluttered I will not go back read more

Amazing Hot & Sour and Wonton Soup. Good lunch specials. Very easy to pick up order utilizing the drive thru.

Still five stars! Today was shrimp cashew. The lunch menu is huge and comes with a crab rangoon, soup and a piece of honey mustard chicken (that I gave away). Great value for a huge amount of food!!! read more

Always great food and service. Big potions. We go there at least one a month if not more.

This is the only Chinese restaurant I'll eat in this area. Always tastes good. I go at least once a week for the spicy green beans and chicken. read more

Great food and service. The portion sizes (even for a "lunch" portion) are crazy big. Zero chance you don't leave with leftovers. Very, very affordable. Highly recommend. read more

Dining experience was perfect in every way. This is a charming and traditional Chinese sit-down restaurant with table service - comfortable seating, booths available, lanterns, Fortune Cats, ornate ceiling, and soothing Oriental instrumental music playing. Pretty tableware. Warm plates! There was one server on the floor who doubled as the hostess. When we dined, there were I believe four other couples or trios plus one table of six. She did a great job taking care of everyone. Started with steamed dumplings that were tender and comforting. We did the $3 addon to the entree to get soup, an eggroll and a crab rangoon along with it. Loved the wonton soup, generous portion with four nice small wontons, appropriate for eating with a spoon. Crab rangoon was one of the best I ever had and the eggroll was very good too and not one of those little tiny ones. Of course little pots of hot mustard and duk sauce were brought out along with fresh crispy noodles. I had the Szechuan Beef, requesting that the chef go light on the broccoli and that's what was done. It was a spicy dish though not as hot as you might expect for Szechuan. Here's where we zoomed into the five star zone: I requested hot chili oil and received some right away! I almost cried with joy. Have not seen hot chili oil since dining at upscale Chinese in New York. It was perfectly flaming hot and I could enhance my dish as desired. My husband had the house combination "No. 1" and while we agreed the scallops and shrimp textures were below average, the chicken was great and so was the spicy brown sauce along with delightful baby corn and snow peas aplenty. Prices were quite reasonable, and no charge for a nice pot of tea or for the chili oil. When we were too full to eat anymore, our kind waitress took care of putting the leftovers into a takeout box, cementing the five star experience for all time. Looking forward to returning soon. read more

I am always on the quest for Wor Shu Gai. A couple of years ago, I read that people are now calling it ABC Chicken for Almond Boneless Chicken. This place had ABC Chicken. When it came to the table, it looked nothing like how I know this dish. I signaled the waiter over and inquired. I also showed him a picture of what Wor Shu Gai looks like...aka ABC Chicken. He recognized the picture immediately and said that I had ABC Chicken and they can make War Shu Gai. He quickly swapped the plates and I was happy like the Happy Family dish my family got. Everything was great. read more

Food is always delicious and plenty. Never have had a problem with service. The restaurant is cute.

Great service to start with! Both of our meals were tasty and ample in portion. We will be back here. With so many Asain-based restaurants in the area it's not often you run into one that leaves such a positive impression. read more

This place has been here for many years. I used to come here a long time ago. I've moved away and been gone for many years so imagine my surprise when we came back to visit and it was still there. I have been talking about Empress Chicken forever, but it was no longer on the menu. Guess what? They still make it if you ask. Day officially made. The service is incredible. Fast and the prices are good. The food is better than you expect. The chicken is actually breaded and crispy, although it's covered in sauce. Now that's tricky! It's every bit as good as it's always been, if not better!! read more

Excellent fare with a friendly waiter! Will go back! They even gave us free appetizers.

Best Chinese restaurant in the Dayton area. They have numerous offerings and offer dine-in, drive-thru, carryout, & delivery. The restaurant is clean and the food is very good. Some of our favorite menu items are the Sweet & Sour Chicken, fried rice, Wonton Soup, Crab rangoon, and egg/spring rolls. Servers are always attentive & friendly. read more

I had the hankering for Asian-American food today and I found Yen Ching House in Edgemont, OH. Today was also one of the first times I have sat down in a restaurant to eat in a long, long time. When I am on the road, I tend to be a take out junkie but I am trying to get out more and see something other the four walls of my hotel room! Yen Ching House is a place of off U.S. 40 in Edgemont. It is a small, unassuming place that is decked out in a style that is common for all "Chinese" restaurants in China and most in the U.S.. Lots of Oriental art, graphics, and that ubiquitous deep mahogany red tones run though out the place. The restaurant is clean and the staff friendly and professional. It wasn't busy when I arrived so I was quickly seated and my order was taken almost as quick. As is the case with most "Chinese" restaurants, my food was sat in front of me in no time and I dug in. Today I ordered the General Tso's chicken lunch combination. It comes with you choice of fried or steamed rice, and your choice of Hot & Sour, Egg Drop, Wanton, and something called a Chicken Creamy soup. Today I went with fried rice and Egg Drop soup. You also receive a crab rangoon, and you have the choice of honey chicken. I am not too sure what they exactly mean by that but it is an option. My plate was filled with an ample amount of food and I knew I would be taking my leftovers with me for dinner. The General Tso's Chicken at Yen Ching House reminds me of the style of General Tso's that used to be served years ago. Most places that serve General Tso's make the sauce so sweet that it makes your teeth ache. The sauce on mine was not overly sweet, and had a crunch that I had not had in a while. I also noticed the dried red chillies that "Chinese" food here is known for and another thing I haven't seen in a while. The chilis gave the dish a nice kick. The chicken inside was moist and cooked very well. The fried rice was... okay. Not the best I have had but certainly not the worst. I can't tell you about the crab rangoon because it is in the take out container that is resting comfortably in the fridge in my hotel room, waiting to be eaten for dinner. Since I knew I was going to take leftovers with me, I ordered a side of steamed rice and an egg roll. Yen Ching House also makes their own Chinese hot mustard! I haven't had Chinese hot mustard in a very long time. Most places give you those packets of hot mustard which really aren't hot and don't really resemble mustard. My mouth is watering just thinking about the hot mustard and I think I am going to dive in to my leftovers as soon as I am done with this review! Yen Ching House is very deserving of the 4 1/2 stars they have on Yelp. The restaurant is clean, the staff awesome, the prices very good, and food good. If you find yourself in the Edgemont area, Yen Ching House is a short distance of of I-70 on U.S. 40. Why don't you stop and give it a try? read more

You know that feeling where you've been driving for a while, skipped lunch, and have a hankering for Americanized Chinese food? Well I did. This place had awesome food. 5/5. The service was fast and excellent. They did have the occasional box stored in the aptly decorated eating room, but it was no big deal. The food was exactly what you imagine. Big plates, saucy covering, excellent broccoli, great white rice. The sesame chicken was particularly tasty. read more

I would not be eating here that has been told there was an inspector who went into the store to clean their fans, and there was a mouse droppings everywhere. If you go outside and look behind their store, it's a mess. You can tell they have mice I have not ate there in over two years and I will never go back. This is FACTS !! read more

Excellent service and good. This is our go to place for Chinese food. They have your standard Chinese fare.

My food was nasty. My chicken was dry. The sauce wasn't good either. The color of the food and the texture was OFF. I'm new to the area and wanted to try a new place for Chinese.. I was disappointed to say the least. read more

I absolutely love the China Star that is down the street. So it is super painful for me to say this, but I am a fair and honest person. This is the best tasting Chinese restaurant in Englewood. The food here is excellent at pretty much every item. There is one or two that might not be the case for, but there are so many and collectively awesome. They have some amazing Mongolian beef and chicken. There is only one place I have ever been to in my life that has topped it and sadly that place is no more. Great egg rolls and soups. Something that is easy to over look but so clutch about this place is that they give you an excessive amount of those crunchy things you put on top of the soup, which is nice because I always eat all of them. The employees are cool. Their lobby is not bad I would say they make nice with what they've got in regard to the building. The drive thru is a very nice touch. You will certainly love eating the food here if you try it. read more

The fried rice noodles are epic. Been wanting to try other things, but I'm addicted! Good service, epic good.

The food use to be SO good but the last 3 times we have had it we have not even been able to finish the food. The taste is just not good.

Consistently inconsistent food quality. You never know if the food is gonna be great or not taste so good.

Great food quickly and great service . Accurate too! Very consistent each time we live the easy pick up

My daughter loves this place. Good food, good prices, good service. I recommend this restaurant if you're in the mood for Chinese.

I will travel hours to get Chinese from this restaurant. I've been eating here for years and will continue to eat here for years the food is always right, portions are amazing, the food taste even more amazing, the service is awesome like there is absolutely nothing bad you could say about this place read more

I feel bad to write this review, but I have to be honest, the food is terrible. Maybe we shouldn't have such high expectations before we drive 30 min to Englewood. All the other five star reviews are very misleading!!! I ordered Sichuan beef, which suppose to be spicy, but no, it's salty and plain. My husband ordered kungpao chicken, and he thought it was watery. And all the vegetables we got were yellowish and soft, including broccoli. Other than that, the bathroom was very dirty, I saw a stuff trying to flush away her own poopoo with doors open....she couldn't do it, so she walked directly into the kitchen and brought back a giant bucket with water to keep her mission... Anyway, if you like authentic chinese food, this will not be your choice. But this place is extremely cheap, so if you are broke AF you could stuff yourself here with large amount of low quality food. read more

I thought I had already posted a review, but it's not showing. Very disappointed with the food, I ordered it spicy, and there was no heat. I had to remind the waitress that I had ordered a beer. And on a Tuesday night, there were only 2 other people in the place. For all the 5 star ratings it was a real let down. read more
