Nice quaint & cozy ... best in the area !
Chris M.

Great food every week .... The chef is working his magic consistently! Yen du is the best Chinese restaurant in Stockton IMO so enjoy.

Grand looking interior. I can imagine it's ambiance coming here for dinner.
C E.

Hands down, Yen Du is our favorite Chinese restaurant north of San Francisco. From the moment you step in, you're welcomed like family--the owner/host at the front greets you with genuine warmth that sets the tone for the entire experience. The interior design is absolutely grand--a nostalgic throwback to the fabulous Chinese restaurants of the '80s and '90s, where dining in was an event, not an afterthought. Service? Impeccable. Andy is a total standout--friendly, attentive, and always on point with recommendations and timing. You feel looked after without ever being rushed. Now the food--chef's kiss. I'm not a big veggie fan, but their string beans and beef made me a believer. Perfectly cooked, savory, and bursting with flavor--this dish alone is reason enough to come back. Their hot and sour pork is bold, balanced, and hits all the right notes. And don't even get me started on the chicken wings--they're that good. Think San Tung in SF, but without the wait and with friendlier vibes. If you're looking for a place that serves outstanding Chinese food with heart, soul, and style--Yen Du is it.

Spicy assorted vegetable noodle soup! (comes with meat if you want it). So good!

This is the best Chinese restaurant in Stockton! I've been going here for over 20 years now and they've never disappointed. The food is tasty with big portions to share. The staff has been there for years and they're very friendly and family-orientated. The owner is great as well! I highly recommend. I wish they were open 7 days a week!

chow mein

best chinese restaurant easily. food is consistently good and staff is friendly. service is quick. the spicy green beans are literally so addicting and the mongolian beef is the best i've ever had.

Wonton soup
Ellexus H.

Came to try this place for dinner. Dined inside. Started with the wonton soup which was delicious. Got the house fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, honey walnut prawns, and broccoli and beef. All were delicious. The service was excellent as well. The restaurant was packed on a Saturday evening. Lots of families dining in. Definitely will be back again.

The service is good. The food quality is not acceptable. They don't taste like Chinese foods. The environment is comfortable.

Does anyone know if they cater or provide party trays?

I don't know if they have party trays, but I have been there when different companies come to pick up lunch or work parties. They probably order three or four chow meins & rice and go to the .99 cent store and buy trays. I am sure it's probably… Read more

Kung Pao Chicken 10/10 The chicken was flavorful, hot (temp not spice!), veggies were cooked to perfection came with peanuts, zucchini, green bell peppers and onions. Fried Rice 5/10 it was just rice with eggs and some soy sauce and it was a little on mushy side for my liking. Didn't give me fried rice vibes. Fried wonton chips 10/10 definitely shouldn't be eating these grease filled treats, but the crunch was so satisfying! However, service was nice, everyone was welcoming. Inside was super clean which is appreciated. I'll definitely be back to try something different next time.

We've hosted family gatherings here as well as enjoyed small, casual dinners, and every single time we leave full and happy. The hot and sour soup is to die for and a must-order on every visit. Nancy, the previous owner, was always so warm and welcoming, and that same hospitality continues with the current staff. Their family is so nice! They truly make you feel at home. This place holds so many great memories for our family, and it remains a go-to spot in Stockton. We will always return!

I was recommended by my nephew that the Dry Scallops fried rice is amazing. It did not disappoint us at all. It's definitely worth the $24.99 as the portions are huge enough for six and there was a lot of dry Scallops in every bites. The other dishes was huge as well in portions and delicious as well. Although the restaurant is not fancy nut the food is exceptionally good for it's price per portions. Will definitely try again if in Stockton.

Though, the servers were pushy, the food was delicious. We got the shrimp dumplings, fried shrimp balls, and egg custard tarts. They were all very yummy. You can either order from the dim sum menu or the regular one. But if you want both, you do need to ask for the other menu. We figured this out after we had already ordered from the dim sum menu. We also ordered two lunch specials. They were also tasty. The place is very spacious and has a lot of Chinese decor. My experience was not as enjoyable, because of the staff,though. We both felt very uncomfortable and pushed to order more food and pay tip. It was not professional or polite at all. I hope the next time I go, my visit is much more pleasant.

Best Chinese restaurant in Stockton. Love their house chow mein and bbq pork buns…read more Pretty authentic!

Friday, January 9th. Approx. 6:50 PM…read more OVERVIEW: Was at Lincoln Village to do some shopping, and wanted to try this restaurant for the first time and get some to-go food. Will probably go back again to give their Dim Sum a try. PROS: - GREAT LOCATION in the middle of Lincoln Village Shopping Center & lots of available parking spaces. - Ordered the Fried Garlic Chicken, Broccoli Beef & House Special Chow Mein. Good flavor & volume for the price. - This may be commonsensical, but while it was quite cold outside on this January evening, management kept the temperature of the dining area at a warm level. I bring this point up since a lot of restaurants in Stockton & Lodi have turned the thermostats of their dining areas down to cut overhead costs, but this place kept their dining area warm & comfy. CONS: - It seems obvious that they only have one chef working in their kitchen, since it took almost 30 minutes to complete my order. Sure, they had to serve other customers dining in, as well as handle a constant flow of pick-up orders, but since it was peak order time on a Friday night, they should have more staff in the kitchen to quickly support the order volume. - While I mentioned in the "PROS" section above, the food has good flavor and volume for the price. The downside is that the overall flavors are not outstanding nor memorable, which doesn't allow for much separation with other mainstream Chinese restaurants, serving the same dishes in Stockton. SUMMARY: If you're in the Lincoln Village area, want to eat Chinese food and are not in a particular hurry, this is a good place to park the car and sit down for a while. If you are in a hurry, better to phone in your order beforehand to cut the waiting time. Don't expect exotic food presentations and flavors, but don't expect massive damage to your wallet either.
