Called in an order for pick up last Saturday. I was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. It wasn't. I sat there another 15 minutes waiting. I ordered fried rice for two of the entrees which was an additional charge but got plain white rice. Food was ok nothing exceptional! Not many good chinese places in ne Mesa! read more

I decided to check this place out as it is close to my new house. I will definitely NOT be back. The service staff was friendly, but the food was not good. The worst fried rice I have ever had. The chowmein that comes with the combo dinner is awful - the canned stuff by La Choy is much better. Even the hot tea was awful - tasted like dirty water. Very disappointed. read more

Wasn't very good orange chicken didn't taste like orange chicken and the kung poe chicken wasn't good at all and paid $2 extra for white meat .. it's not the same as it use to be ... been coming here since the 90's and the food has changed alot ..kung Poe shrimp wasn't garlicky or spicey at all. read more

This place is always good - we've been coming here for many years and they have always been consistently good. David the waiter is always friendly. The decor is a little tired, but don't let it fool you - the food is always delicious! read more

Love Yeng Cheng! I am from Iowa and was so happy to see this fabulous restaurant is here in Mesa! I'm going to ask if they have fried banana's for dessert! read more

Great food, service, and value. I have been eating here for over 10 years and it is still as good as ever.

Well let me start that this place has been around for forever, so they must be doing something right. I remember going here with my family after all my silly plays in elementary school and I still go here, I'm now in college. The food is really yummy and the price is inexpensive. The restaurant decor is a little funky but I don't go there for that. The people who work there are super nice and will take very good care of you. They have weird hours on Saturday though, which is my only complaint. They open around 4:30 pm but the food is so worth it. read more

Nasty. Better off going to Panda Express. It's just sloppy, greasy, and bland. Not to mention that they forgot an entire entree for our take-out order, which we didn't find out until we got home. The old folks around superstion springs probably love it - cheap and bland. read more

Went in and asked for Sweet and sour pork. Pork wasn't seasoned and vegetables were way to large to eat.

Great experience. Nice staff.. very QUICK and DELICIOUS. A little pricey but portions are HUGE!

Our party of five visited the restaurant on a Friday night, and we were seated promptly despite a fair number of guests. The service was outstanding and professional...we never had an unfilled water glass, and our waiter was friendly and efficient The food, however, was bland, most likely because Yen Ching is located in a retirement area and they know their audience. I can't say that anything was particularly fresh-tasting. All five dishes we ordered were swimming in mild, salty sauces. It's no wonder that this is my 80-something year old father-in-law's favorite Chinese restaurant. Also, they need to lose the dusty artificial plants and the generic muzak, otherwise the atmosphere was okay. There are much better Chinese restaurants around town for food, but you can't beat the friendliness of the staff. read more

Went with 7 other couples. I have traveled around this country and consumed many cuisines. I have to say this was the worst Chinese food I have ever experienced. The Orange Chicken was awful, egg rolls-terrible, service was bad. There were leftovers and I did not bring them home. Wait staff was horrible! Did not deliver what I ordered and tried to convince me to take what they brought which I refused. Had to beg 3 times for a refill of my ice tea. Old, not clean front door was dirty...a hint of what was to come. read more

I went to Yen Ching's for the first time last night with my mother. I was probably several decades younger than the majority of the clientele as well as the decor but don't let that fool you. This was probably some of the best Chinese food I have had in quite a while. I'll be taking my husband (he's very picky about Chinese food) here soon so he can try it out too! Thanks for a great meal (and tons of leftovers), Yen Ching! read more

My entire family loves this place. The decor is outdated, but the food and the staff are awesome. My Husband introduced this place to me 10 years ago, and it is by far our favorite chinese place to go to. I prefer to there rather then take it home. Even though the decor is not awesome, I like the atmosphere and the staff. read more

The General Tso's chicken lacked crispiness and flavor with a heat index of pre school. I had the Garlic chicken on a previous visit, and it was pretty tasty. read more

We ate dinner here tonight. Service was friendly but short handed and the waiter actually answered the phone while taking our order. Our guest also didn't get her glass of wine till well into our meal. There were four of us at the table and we all ordered something different. The wonton soup was totally delicious but the rest of the dishes we ordered were just so so. Very very small portions and very bland tasting, fresh but bland. Definitely not worth the price either. Too bad the food wasn't so good because the atmosphere was very nice. We may try it again someday but still looking for good Chinese in the East valley. read more

Discussing We had a take out order. I have been going to this restaurant for a long time. I always get Shrimp Egg Foo Young. This time it was sickening. The Egg Foo Young was GREEN and the sauce looked like white SNOOT. It WAS not fresh at all it was processed also ordered the BBQ Pork slices and they were dried out. I tried to talk to the manager and she keep hanging up on me 3 different times...they need to change cooks and stop trying to save money. If I could give then less than 1 star I would. read more

This place has been around forever. I remember it 25 yrs ago and it hasn't changed. Nice, with a touch of old fashion elegance. Table cloth and soothing soft music in the background. Kick ass cocktails. Good service. Guys in bow ties. The food is better than most places out this way. We will be back. read more

Terrific food! Great drinks. Usually very busy but will worth the wait! Nice place white table cloths even!

This place is down right the best place to get chinese food. I remember going here atleast once a week as a kid. But my parents said they've bin going before i was born and im almost 28. The bo bo plater is the best and you cant go wrong with any of the fried rice entree. But the cook the shrimp is the best. And david always knew what we always want. The only bad thing is they have down sized the entrees a little, but thats not a problem cause the food is always spot on. read more

I went here this afternoon with a large party and we ordered off the luncheon menu. service was really nice and the variety of selections on the luncheon menu was good. I ordered the lemon chicken and I was confused because it came with a red sauce that looked and tasted like sweet and sour sauce. it was decent I ate it but it certainly was not the lemon chicken that I was expecting. the luncheon menu comes with soup and appetizers the soup with an egg drop soup and it was excellent very flavorful. the chicken wing was also very good I couldn't eat the other item as it wasn't gluten free. I just removed the breading for my chicken and ate it that way. I am only giving 3 stars because the restaurant itself looks like it came straight out of the 1980's it definitely needs a remodel and things like The door's door handles very very dirty. it just needs a little cleaning and a little refresh and this place would be a really excellent location to eat Chinese food. read more

This is a great little old school chinese restaurant. They have pink linens, fake flowers, etc...it feels like a 1980s NY style chinese restaurant. Aside from the decor, the food is good. I enjoy their hot and sour soup, yum! They are affordable and the portions are a good size. read more

I highly recommend this place. The chicken lo mein, and pork fried rice was excellent. The greeter was very busy when I walked in, and he even didn't skip a beat, he acknowledged everyone in the room, with a smile, while performing his job. I was very impressed with his customer service. This place was packed. That means, good food and service, we'll be back..5 stars!! read more

I had the Kung Pao2 (Kung Pao with shrimp and chicken). It was very good. It came with white rice ($2 more for fried rice seemed too much). The rice was cooked well, not too mushy or too crunchy. The amount of food seemed a bit small, maybe enough for one person, but definitely not for two. The price seemed a little high. All in all, it was good food and service and I'd go back again. read more

I used to love this place but I moved back after 2 years and went there the food was not good at all very flavorless so I went back a second time thinking it was me the first time, so then I had the egg foo young it tasted sour and was not good at all, I took it home and my son ate it the next day and it made him sick he said mom the egg foo young tasted sour I think it was bad. I will never go there again, I do not know what happened to this place but it is no longer good. read more

Found this little gem on a recent family trip. Great service and the food was amazing! Our order came out super fast. Great place for sit down or take out. Highly recommend this restaurant. The only negative aspect of our visit was that we had to wait a bit for our check but they were very busy and we weren't in a hurry so even that wasn't such a bad thing. read more

Good service, egg drop soup was salty but wasn't bad and you get a chicken wing dipped in brown sauce with a cream cheese dumpling. The lunch menu is pretty large and has an entree with a side of plain fried rice. I asked that the vegetables be well done and they weren't. The sauce on both our entrees was so strong it was almost uneatable. I had to mix it with the rice and a couple spoons of sweet & sour. Neither of us was able to finish our entrees. Best I can say is Been There, Done That read more

The worst Chinese food I ever had. I am born and raise in China, this restaurant have nothing connect with Chinese. The food are bad, taste bad. the waiter's attitude are bad, he just showing a Chinese what Chinese food is and what he showed is totally wrong. read more

Outstanding service and food. The owners ( Ruby and Tom) are the sweetest people and take great care of their customers. Sizzling rice do up was delicious, as was the chicken with vegetables and Kung pao chicken. We will definitely be back. read more

first time going there & only time. food wasn't that great. food took forever. a family of four got there after i got there & they got their food first & was eating way before we got served our one entree.don't recommend. read more

This place is the best Chinese food around by far. The staff is so friendly especially David, he is a server. I'm a college student on a budget and the prices are great for the amount of food you get! Yes the furniture is a little out dated and at first I was so skeptical but it is VERY clean :) read more

Great food very nice atmosphere. Love the fish we have been going here for over 15 years. Friendly service We go at least twice a month

I thought the food was great. Vey clean. Nice polite servers. It maybe could use a little update on decor but who cares

We lve......this place. My family has been coming here for years. Hot & sour soup is to die...for.... Shrimp & vegetable is AMAZING.........

Love this place; the tablecloths, the fish tank, the waitpersons and the food! We try something different each time and so far nothing bad!

We have been going to this restaurant for 15 years and we will continue to go as long as we live here. The food is great, the ambiance is quiet and relaxing and the staff is friendly and attentive. The decor needs renovating, but it is always clean. My favorite dish is the sesame chicken although the seafood soup is great as well. I also enjoy the Moo Shu pork, it is delicious. Least favorite is the General Tso's. There are several chinese restaurants in the area, but this is the only one I would actually recommend. read more

I have been going exclusively to Yen Ching for the last 5 years and only once before did i have any mistakes on an order, until now. I placed an order for myself, my wife and for my mother in law. I asked for a dinner sized chicken and broc in WHITE SAUCE. When i got home the chicken in broc was in the brown sauce, since Yen Ching closes between 2:30 and 4:30 i had to wait 2 hours to call in the mistake. When i managed to get ahold of someone i was informed the woman that took the order was not there anymore that day and had to call e back. When i did get to speak with her she argued that i never once said white sauce, it was my fault an they would do nothing bout it. Our room mate is still bitching at me for the order mistake and for a simple $10 dinner i can not recommend anyone go to here since if your order is messed up they will do nothing for you. Sad, i have spent thousands of dollers here inthe last 5 years and now, i will never buy from Yen Ching again. read more

Ordered take out tonight 7/22/15. Garlic shrimp is heavily breaded and soggy. The shrimp are very small and have the tail on them still. Lemon chicken was awful. It was breaded, dry and tough. The lemon sauce came in a separate container and is really awful. Tastes like the smell of lemon pledge. Thankfully the spicy fried rice and vegetable fried rice were good or we would have had to order a whole other dinner from somewhere else. I probably won't return. If I could rate 0 or negative stars, I would, but 1 was the lowest available. read more

The service is always great here. I love the sizzling rice soup, and chicken. The whole atmosphere is so relaxing.

Don't get take out during dinner. $10 for medium sized sweet and sour dish. It doesn't even come with an eggroll. Their lunch dishes are cheaper and have more food! What a ripp off. read more
