It's been a very long time since I came back and I'm not sure why. Yesterday we celebrated a friend's birthday at Yen Ching. We were seated promptly. Service was great and attentive! Never did we have to wait to have our drinks refilled. We ordered two appetizers which we share: steak on a stick there were 6 pieces on skewers very yummy. I had and Egg roll which was good and pork dumplings fried. We all tucked into them and were delicious! I along with the birthday celebrent had order The Happy Family. Another person had Cashew Chicken and of course I forgot what my other friend had. We all were enjoying our dinner remarking the great portion size and the amazing taste. We will all be back again soon as Yen Ching has great food and service read more

Very good Chinese food but the place is closed. I think they had a equipment failure but hopefully they will open soon. They've been closed for approximately 3 weeks now. read more

Yes great food. A little above your run of the mill Asian restaurant. Friendly staff. Good for take out or eat in.

Amazing, it was great tasting and not greasy. Best chinese we have had in a long time! The one on Midlothian is no longer there, but the restaurant on Hull Street top Notch! read more

Always great. We order from Yen Ching - Midlothian on a regular basis. My husband generally gets Orange Flavored Chicken Orr General Tso's Chicken, always delicious. I favor the Chicken Egg Foo Yong, always great (l usually get a side of hot oil since I like spicy). We have also tried a number of other dishes and have never been disappointed. Absolutely recommended! read more

I've given this places several tries, but the last visit is my last visit. I've never eaten inside, but have picked up carry out several times. The location is convenient and the food is good, but the service to take out is terrible. The staff is so rude! Every time! Especially the older lady who I believe may be the wife/owner. She looked right at me as I stood for 10 mins. at the register while she chatted about general things with a customer who seemed to be a regular. I still can't believe how she had me stand there and my food just sat there. A waiter came by to see if I needed to order. When I told him I called in an order, he acknowledged that it was sitting there on the table, but I assume he wasn't able to ring me up so I remained standing with hopes that someone would eventually ring me up. After the unnecessary long wait and standing there looking at the person who was supposed to ring me up, but preferred to chitchat in length instead, I just walked out empty handed. read more

Food was okay but they skimped on ingredients and there was an odd oily aftertaste. We'll try them again in case it was just a bad night.

If you're looking for good Chinese take out spot, this is the one for you! Shrimp fried rice- 10/10 I was craving restaurant style fried rice as a late night dinner and this really hit the spot! They packed the container so full, it was enough for two people to eat two full meals. They did not skimp on the shrimp! So YUM! Fried rice is a MUST. Orange chicken- 8/10 I remembered last time I got a spicy orange chicken and it was SO DELICIOUS- so I was sad that this time, the medium spice wasn't spicy. I think I needed extra spicy! But either way, it paired super well with the rice. Ginger chicken wings- 8/10 Ok I really like chicken wings and I also really like ginger so this combo was gooood! The chicken was tender and had good all around flavor! So tasty! Yen Ching is the place to be!!! I'm craving it again writing this review read more

Yen Ching - Orange chicken, shrimp fried rice (can you believe it's all that rice but just one order?!), ginger chicken wings - Chinese Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

Just attempted to go here for lunch. I was seated by the host. I sat there for 15 mins and no one ever came by the table to greet me or anything so I left. read more

We were in the mood for some Chinese food obviously in this place was nearby so we decided to check it out. VERY GOOD imho. We ordered dumplings to start and for our entrees, we ordered their pepper steak, their governors, chicken, and their chicken fried rice. All were very tasty! Jim was a great host and our waitress was attentive and very nice. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. We'll be back for sure. read more

Terrible service. After waiting for more than 30 minutes past my scheduled pickup time, they were unable to give me any estimate of when my food would be ready. Dismissive staff. read more

The service is terrible. Chicken was dry. My aunt's chicken was burnt and dry, looks like it has been sitting out. read more

Yen Ching - C8. Chicken in Orange Sauce - Chinese Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

I took my mom there for her birthday when my dad tried to order the fish he was quickly told they didn't have anything available off the American part of the menu, We ordered the Hunan chicken . For 16 $ you would think you might get an egg roll or soup like at all the other like places. Did even get asked if we wanted soup or egg roll .. the Hunan chicken was chicken and broccoli with some kind of sauce that was not spicy at all tasted like dish soup. . I could have chosen 1 of 20 other restaurants to celebrate my mom's birthday but I chose this place. It's wasn't very clean , and the whole experience was embarrassing for me to take my parents there for a special occasion.... And way over priced ... very disappointing read more

Delicious well prepared food. Vegetables perfectly cooked and chicken nicely seasoned. True comfort food. I enjoyed the very fragrant jasmine tea as well. Attentive service. read more

The hostess was very nice. I ordered a large wonton soup to go and went to Food Lion to pick up a couple of things. Got back home and there were FOUR wontons in a quart of soup. I'll stick with the place close to my house. I was just in the neighborhood and had a taste for wontons soup. Apparently, a taste is all you'll get. read more

Ordered take out: barbecue spare ribs & honey shrimp; my new favorite! It was quick service by my friends there who helped me remember my new favorite! read more

I seldom go to restaurants as I take care of my parents. I really missed Yin Ching on Genito Road. This restaurant was always top-notch, serving fabulous food that was prepared just right! Every time over the decades. I looked forward to the takeout I purchased. First, I noticed an employee come from the kitchen in filthy clothes. I ordered sesame shrimp. I couldn't tell if I was eating chicken or shrimp because they were so overdone and tough. My parents got honey shrimp. Again over overdone! Somebody else must be running that restaurant. So sad! read more

They are very knowledgeable about gluten free!! I have eaten here twice and everything tasted great and I have not gotten sick. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want Chinese food. read more

This is my local Chinese Restaurant ! Food is OK , but I am from NYC and grew up right next to China town in Manhattan . Anyway , I ordered $50 worth of food . Appetizer , soup and 2 entrees . I only got 1 fortune cookie! Really ! If you only gonna put one fortune cookie in there after you give me all of this food you should realize that's an insult. You shouldn't have put any cookies in there at all. I could go to Lin's bistro and get the same order and take all the fortune cookies I want. read more

Another excellent quality Chinese meal....it was light just the two us of us. She enjoyed crispy chicken which had the look and sort-of taste of General Tso's along with an egg roll (cake with small bowl of hot mustard and small bowl of sauce). I enjoyed a large plate of King Pao Shrimp - plenty of it for two to be honest so I definitely took home leftovers. Both of our entre s came with a small bowl of fried (other option I believe was white) rice which blended well. Service was very fast but they were light on seated customers (plenty of takeout orders though). read more

The food is consistently good, but...don't place an order for dinner portion prior to 3:30 pm or they may charge you for the dinner portion, but give you the lunch portion. The dinner portions give you much more bang for your buck. The lunch portion is more like a snack when you do pick up or delivery. read more

Ridiculously expensive for small, bland portions. One item was missing from the order as well.

One of our favorite, after church, places for lunch. Now that we are in the COVID-19 era we have Yen Ching delivery at least once a week. We love their wonton soup and pretty much all love their Chinese dishes on the menu read more

The General Tso's chicken was so overcooked that it was hard and tasted burnt. I was afraid I would choke on it. Complete waste of money.

Twice, in the recent past, we ordered take-out and delivery from Yen Ching Chinese Restaurant, located at the corner of Hull Street Road and Genito Rd in Chesterfield, Virginia. Both times, our orders were missing one of the main entrees. Tonight, my wife and I ordered by phone Peking Duck, Beef with Broccoli, two large Hot and Sour soups and Fried Rice. I handed the cashier, Sarah, our credit card for a total of $90.95 and I gave them a generous tip...my mistake. Even the receipt had the entree listed on it. Got home and the Beef w/Broccoli was missing. I called Sarah, the cashier and complained (obviously I was angry but more so, since we had driven from Middle Georgia to our empty house, which had sold recently, so there was no silverware or dishes). But I digress. Sarah said she was sorry but had "no control over what the kitchen does." So I asked for a refund, and she said she "didn't have control" of that, either, but to call the owner, Lin, at 804-928-9009, but the call went to voice mail, with the mailbox full allowing zero messages. I called Yen Ching again, but got the same response from Sarah. She even refused to cook the food again and have it delivered for free, saying she had "no authority to deliver food for free." So, instead of a refund for roughly $27.00, we will be asking for the entire amount ($100.00) to be returned, as the response from the restaurant is totally unacceptable and ruined our dinner not once, but on two separate occasions. read more

Lovely staff for picking up take out on a Saturday night. Food was very good! Will order again!

The food here is good but I was surprised by the number of flies in there. Maybe someone left the back door open? I dunno.

Great eat in and take out Chinese food. Better than most! Also the best hot and sour soup I've had in a long time!!!

Went here for the first time to pickup takeout. Their website is easy to manage and order. But wow when you show up. I got a time of 7pm for my order to be ready. At 7:31 my name was finally called. The website should not give 20 mins as an option if it's super busy (there were like 6 other people waiting to pickup) . Also the food I ordered shrimp lo mein has no flavor. I will not be returning. read more

They forgot one of my fried rices and for the price the servings are considerably small

I order from here often, the vegetable steamed dumplings and ma pao tofu are amazing! I decided to try the beef with asparagus this time, again it was really really good! The asparagus stems were mostly edible. read more

This Place is the worst. It's always an hour or more wait for an order I placed 45 mins ago on the phone. HIRE MORE PEOPLE. My life shouldn't be dictated by this businesses poor business model and way of doing business. Or how about lowering your prices to account for the hour and a half I wasted my time here. Horrible place. Avoid. read more

Words CANNOT express how disappointed we are with the quality of the food at this place. Looks are deceiving. At first glance you would think this was a notch above the average Chinese joint. Not at all actually a few notches below. We ordered spicy pork fried rice with extra pork. $4 FN dollars for extra pork, an order of fried wings extra crispy and large wonton soup with 4 extra wonton (.50 each) The rice was bland to say the least and not one ounce of spice, the wings were soggy and crispy. How the hell they do that? The wonton soup was RIDICULOUS. The wonton filling was non existent some didn't have any filling at all. I asked for 4 extra and the entire container only had about 6 wonton. WTF. We tried to support this local business during this covid19 crisis and totally regret going to this place. We risked exposure just to get terrible food. We will never go again. read more

Yen Ching - Social distancing alright. The cook distanced himself from culinary school. - Chinese Near Me - Midlothian, Virginia

I asked for 8 full wings to be cut in half this is what they gave me. I called back up there to explain this was incorrect, and the person starts to raise her voice telling me for a matter of fact they absolutely gave me that. Nope not at all, there isn't even 16 pieces in the tray. Incompetent and poor customer service. read more

Food was very good and service was great! Had the honey chicken with wonton soup and both were delish! Had to bring 1/2 the dish home as I was stuffed and it was even better the next day!!I'll be back read more

Nice, open decor with exceptional service. Nice menu with spicy items clearly marked. Even though the restaurant was busy, our orders were prepared promptly and were delicious. Ample parking. read more

Food is too greasy. They don't care how sloppy they pack the food. 9 out of 10 times they get your order wrong. You receive your food always, "cold". They use their cardboard boxes that always spill over in the bag. They should use their plastic containers. Keeps it warmer. read more

I can only comment on the shrimp fried rice and egg rolls. Since moving to the Richmond area I can't find many places that can duplicate Chinese food the way I like it. I tried several Chinese restaurants before moving to my current area and was always disappointed with the food especially the fried rice. The rice generally is fluffy and very flavorful not too salty. The shrimp wasn't over cooked and was in ample supply. I've gone back several times. The egg rolls are crispy and full of vegetables cooked just right. Would definitely recommend and will be going back. read more

Great food! The beef and green beans is excellent! They're always so busy that delivery takes so long! That says a lot!!

Greatest Chinese in whole area. Love this place. Service is great, food is outstanding. I will drive to here from Chester. Amazing place.
