We've been here a few times. Usually we order to go but it was the first time for me to sit down and eat lunch here. I'm not crazy about Sichuan spice but they had other options and it was pretty good The staff was nice and friendly. We enjoyed the meal and couldn't finish it so we had to take it to go. It wasn't busy and the staff seemed to be having lunch just as we were. It was a standard Chinese restaurant and had a chill vibe. When we have Chinese cravings while in the area. We will come here. Recommend trying if you need a taste of Asia.
I can't believe that I haven't written a review for Yunnan Restaurant when it is one of the two Chinese restaurants in the area that are my Taiwanese-parent-approved! Since its opening, Yunnan Restaurant has become a staple in our rotation for good reason. The pro-tip that I almost want to gatekeep is to go for lunch because that's the only way to guarantee that all of the best cold dishes are still in stock. My family's go-to is the vinegar potato strings, bamboo shoots, and sliced mushrooms, but we've recently also gotten into getting a side order of the peanuts with anchovies. The peanuts have a great sweet and salty roasted flavor and would pair perfectly with some rice. I could honestly be happy just ordered a big plate of the vegetarian cold dishes with rice, but it would be criminal to not order some of the noodles. The Sichuan style cold noodle is my absolute favorite item on the menu. It is vinegary, spicy, a little bit sweet, and super refreshing! The noodle texture is nice and bouncy, and the sliced carrots and scallions and blanched bean curds add a great crunchy texture. Despite being meatless, this noodle dish is absolutely satisfying and delicious! Most of the praises I sing are about this cold noodle dish, but their other items are also quite yummy. I enjoy the braised garlic seafood tofu dish, which pairs well with rice, and there are whole cloves of garlic that were braised with the seafood to be subtlety sweet and not at all pungent. Yunnan Restaurant really lives up to the hype!
Most authentic Chinese restaurant in the Conejo valley. Fair prices and large portions. Super friendly staff. Love their food/deli counter. You can also get frozen dumplings to-go. Love the house grilled-fish.
Yunnan Restaurant had been on my bookmark list for awhile now since they opened. I was excited for a taste of LA in the 805 as they have multiple locations in the Los Angeles area. A nice little drive to oak park faired me well because this spot was great. The restaurant is so cozy and for an early lunch it was nice and quiet, just what I needed. The menu reminds me of home, beautiful Chinese dishes with dim sum, noodles, and soups. This restaurant is intended to be a slow and thoughtful meal. A little rest and relaxation away from life's problems. The staff leave you alone but are also very friendly and welcoming. I sat with my hot tea and had a much needed recharge moment. It's one of those places where you might need to make eye contact to get a refill or a check but it didn't bother me. I appreciate my space sometimes and again, the staff couldn't be nicer. The menu is massive and I ordered a few of my favorites which I'm happy to share: * Wonton rice noodle soup with pork & chicken broth. This broth is so flavorful and hearty. It was a heartwarming spoonful of culture and tradition. You can taste the bone broth and proteins that make this soup so amazing. The noodles were soft, fresh bokchoy, and delicious wontons. * Pork Soup Dumplings. A classic dish. No, they don't rival the larger chain dumpling shops in LA but these were still tasty and satisfying. I'd take a dumpling that's more modest as the drive was only 15 minutes with a zero wait time. Their dumpling dipping sauce was magical, sweet and vinegary, hit the spot. * Shrimp Fried Rice. Anytime I have dumplings I have to order some rice to catch all of the drippings from the sauce and juice, fried rice was calling my name. I love how light yet flavorful this fried rice is. It's no frills but just comforting. Topped with some chili oil - it's a feel good simple side. The restaurant interior was spacious and nicely decorated. It's a fairly big restaurant and I appreciate that they have a food ratio of booths but also larger tables. Very clean inside and comfortable. All in all this was a great spot and I stuffed my face for $50 after tip and had so many boxes of leftovers to take home with me. Big portions and a good value.
Not many super authentic Chinese spots to choose from in the area so this one is truly a gem around here. I got the cold platter trio and everything was delicious and they definitely generous with their portions, The price is definitely a little more $$ as if you were to get the same type of food in the San Gabriel Valley- but hey it's one of its only kind out here!
Top notch authentic southern Chinese food The yunnan rice noodle was beyond delicious, kind of like a Chinese pho with silky Chinese noodle This is definitely one of the best Chinese restaurant in the area I use to goto the original Monterey Park location back in college, and now Being able to get it here is definitely a win! Servers are extremely friendly and the dinning area is clean and spacious Also the cold Togo items at the front are super authentic and delicious as well, perfect pairing with some cold beer Must try gem in the area 10 outta 10
This was our 2nd visit and each time - the food was delicious. This most recent visit, we ordered: 1) dry pot intestine - this is a must get 2) seafood tofu pot - the tofu was so soft and flavors were spot on 3) hot & sour soup - decent 4) spicy eggplant in garlic sauce - this was delicious 5) cumin lamb - decent 6) bowls of white rice 7) 3 meat cold cut appetizers - tripe, headcheese, and pork tongue - good! 8) braised pork belly with napa cabbage - good
Finally! Delicious, consistent, flavorful perfection! I was guilty of ordering 3x in 2 weeks! FOOD: I ordered delivery through Postmates, etc... a few times over a period of 2 weeks. Each time was delicious. Each time was also consistent, which I appreciate. The food was flavorful without being overly salty. Over the different times that I ordered, I tried the Shrimp Chow Mein, Pan Fried Dumplings, Green Onion Pancake, Spring Rolls, and Shredded Pork with Beijing Sauce & Crepie. Everything was outstanding. My orders were always correct and it came pretty quickly. The presentation and portion size was outstanding as well! OVERALL: I would recommend trying this restaurant for takeout and delivery! I'm sure it's great for dine in as well! I have never dined in myself though. The restaurant even threw in a little freebie once, which is such a kind, generous gesture.
This Chinese restaurant was recommended to me from my friend who's also from HK. Honestly, I think I might've ordered wrong because I just got what I usually would get when ordering Chinese food back home (Colorado) but I think it was just average compared to the expectations I had from it. Again, it might just be the food we got because I read someone else's review that recced the Sichuan cold noodles. Anyways, service was good and the restaurant was nice and quiet too. I can definitely see this place as a solid comfort for people who just want good ole Chinese takeout.
I have no idea how this restaurant is still in business. The servers didn't care about providing any type of customer service. No one was there to hold anyone accountable..no manager or owner. The absolute worst food and service! The water is the regular chlorinated tap water which is not drinkable. The tea is not the normal green tea...so yes, that was below par as well. The sesame chicken and the orange chicken were the same except for the addition of sesame seeds. Both dishes were extremely overcooked. We brought it to the attention of the server. She offered to have both dishes redone. However, what we got was the same exact dishes that they microwaved for 30 seconds and put more sauce on. They ended up removing both of the dishes from our bill. The cumin beef was overloaded with cumin, and the beef was old and dry. The scallion pancakes and spring rolls were the only thing that was edible.
11/30/2024: came here for the first time with a friend who lives in the area. I was visiting and craving something "noodly" and Yelp recommend Yunnan! It looked pretty good, was so close by.. and when I saw they also have locations in Monterey Park I felt good about this choice! The place is small, but the menu options are extensive. They even have a freezer when you walk in where you can purchase various dumplings to take home to cook! There is a large cold item "salad bar" at the counter that's not listed in the menu. We were given a few things from the bar to sample, and every item was so tasty! For our first time, we chose the Salt & Pepper Chicken Wing appetizer. Generous portion on a platter, the wings were fresh and so crispy! Slightly different flavor profile than some other places I frequent, but still good. We ordered Item 23, the Lo Mein with Beef. Nice and saucy, the beef was tender and it had plenty of vegetables! Great for 2 to share. Item 33, the Green Onion Pancakes were so crisp, the presentation was lovely but on their own they needed a little "something". There was a seasoned vinegar on the table as well as a jar of chili oil.. just a little enhanced the flavor! The setting is very casual. Clean and well lit. The service was friendly and they were helpful to tell us about the menu offerings. I can't wait to come back with a larger group so we can try even more items!
Could this be the Best Chinese Food in Ventura County? Atmosphere: Pretty typical chinese decor handful of tables on the smaller side. Its loud there is a bar with unique local appetizers. Something you dont see anywhere outside of china town. Food: The Menu here is huge and extremely authentic. Think Chinese Cheescake factory. They have a bit of everything you could be looking for. The menu has English/Chinese with some local options that you have never seen. Hot & Sour Soup - Only sold in a large family style bowl, hot spicy and perfect, one of the best around. Yunnan Style Fried Rice Noodle - Spicy, chewy and SO much flavor Pan Fried Pork Dumplings - Juicy, crispy, meaty these are so good, You get 10 of them and they aren't small. Chung Fried Chicken Cubes with Hot peppers - This is so good, Spicy as heck but the flavor is bursting at the seams. Don't get this if you cant handle spicy. Orange Chicken - Crispy sweet and delicious with all white meat. Must get String Beans with Eggplant - For a veggie dish this is top tier, PACKED with flavor and cooked to perfection. Sauce Tip: ask the server to make you a dipping sauce for the dumplings, they add jalapenos and soy,vinegar and who knows what else SO GOOD. Drinks: Hot tea is served as you sit and is delicious. Allow it to steep for 5 min before drinking Price: Very affordable for the amount of food you get Parking: They have a lot in the back with plenty of free parking Service: Once you are seated the food comes out lightning fast. If you are coming to this place to eat you will be pleased with the service. If you are coming here for a fully catered multicourse meal with a waiter extremely attentive to your needs this isn't the place. Foods amazing and authentic a truly hidden gem in a town not known for its food.
Came here around 12:30 pm on a Tuesday for lunch during work. My boyfriend and I met up here. I came a bit early because my lunch hour is more flexible and ordered so it would be ready by the time he came. It wasn't super busy inside, about 4 tables of small groups taken with a few more open. A few Chinese coworkers have mentioned that this is the most authentic Chinese in the area and I would probably agree. I could smell the good food after I parked and was walking up. I was greeted immediately and I said that there would be 2 of us. I ordered at the counter and paid at the counter but you can definitely be sat and your order taken as well I think. My boyfriend pre chose 3 items: sichuan cold noodle (which I got spicy), eggplant with garlic sauce (classic), and Szechuan style braised pork with crepes (more like the foldable buns). I also decided to get xiaolongbao. Total was around $63 without tip but I automatically tipped because I knew it would be good. Food was ready within minutes, much faster than I expected. All the employees were very friendly and quick. They even provided a small bowl of cool dessert as I waited for my partner to show up. The food was still piping hot when he arrived. I was pleasantly surprised with the xiaolongbao. Although the skin wasn't extremely thin, the inside was very juicy and had great savory flavor! The premade soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar dipping sauce went well with it (a though a bit salty, I usually just prefer black vinegar). I'm sure they hand make all of them because they sell frozen ziplock bags of them for $33. For 50 dumplings, I would definitely buy this bag! Will have to do it when I bring a cooler so they don't melt in the car. The eggplant was delicious. Exactly what I expected and one of my favorite Chinese dishes. Perfectly blistered by a hot wok on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. The garlic sauce was fantastic and white rice is provided. The Szechuan cold noodle was also delicious. Reminded me of the ones my mom makes, although a bit more oily. Still super refreshing with the carrot and bean sprouts. Very delicious and would get again. My least favorite item was the braised pork but I'm usually not a fan of braised items. The presentation was great. The pickled veg helped cut through the heavy and fatty meat. Just because it was my least favorite, doesn't mean it wasn't delicious. I would get it again if other people were with us but not personally for myself. When we took leftovers home, eating it with cucumber really made me enjoy it more. I'm so happy to have finally tried this place! Will definitely come again for lunch more often and would even take family and guests here on the way to Malibu or Venture/Oxnard.

Our favorite Chinese food place in Oak Park, Thousand Oaks and Agoura Hills Neighborhood. Here are a few dishes I am happy to recommend: spicy diced chicken, sweet and sour chicken, sechuan fried green beans( this one has a lot of garlic), sechuan braised pork with buns, kimchi fish( request non spicy if you don't eat hot peppers). There are many other options on their menu, feel free to explore. My kids are picky eaters but they absolutely love the Chinese food from here. I of course enjoy the authentic sechuan flavor being Chinese myself. The restaurant is kept tidy and clean, if you want a dine in experience I recommend you to make a booking, walk-in is very welcome but keep note that sometimes it gets really crowded. They have frozen handmade dumplings for sale too if that's something you want to look into. read more
Was surprised to find such an authentic spot for Chinese in Oak Park! I came by for a Mother's Day lunch with my family. When we arrived around 1 pm, the restaurant was maybe half full. But clearly it was popular as people were coming in constantly the entire time we were eating. Even though the restaurant is called Yunnan Restaurant, most of the dishes on the menu were more like Sichuan dishes i.e. spicy. All of the food was super solid and portions were ginormous. My recommendation is to order 1 dish per person if you want leftovers, or order one less dish than the # of people if you want to finish most of the food. I don't handle spice very well, so we ordered a mix of spicy and non-spicy dishes. We shared the following: #1 Yunan rice noodles ($16.99) #32 scallion pancake ($8.99) #104 Chong qing fried chicken ($16.99) #107 braised pork belly with buns ($19.99) #109 boiled two items - fish and duck blood ($21.99) Given that the restaurant is called Yunnan Restaurant, we felt like we had to order one of the most popular dishes from that region, the Yunan rice noodles i.e. crossing the bridge noodles. I really enjoyed the silky smooth mixian noodles as well as the flavorful broth. The fried chicken was too spicy for me; I ate one piece and my whole mouth was on fire. Everyone else said it was quite spicy as well, so eat this in moderation unless you can really handle your spice. The 3 pepper signs next to this dish on the menu are no joke! The braised pork belly was delicious, but portions were on the smaller side for this one. Still, I enjoyed making a little bun sandwich with the pork belly and pickled veggies. The boiled fish and duck blood was also super solid. It was just a little spicy, so I was able to manage a couple pieces with the help of rice on the side. Portions were very generous for this dish. We all ate lots of fish and duck blood and still had a ton left to take home. They also have some precooked 涼菜, i.e. cold dishes, on the side you can buy for dine-in or to go. We got 3 of the meats - pork tongue, pork head, and and beef tripe, to go. Paid $16.99 for a huge box of these meats. We thought this was a steal too. Can't wait to try some at home! read more

Came here around 12:30 pm on a Tuesday for lunch during work. My boyfriend and I met up here. I came a bit early because my lunch hour is more flexible and ordered so it would be ready by the time he came. It wasn't super busy inside, about 4 tables of small groups taken with a few more open.

26 April 2025. We arrived at about 1:35. The food here is great. When you can get it. If you want table service, be the correct ethnic persuasion, or at least have someone at your table who looks like the staff. Our table was grudgingly waited on after several others that arrived, not a few minutes after us, more like 10-20 minutes after we did. Once the waitress deigned to give us an audience, we ordered three dishes. A "noodle" #8, described in the menu as "Wonton with rice Noodle in Chicken Broth". A pork dish, #90 Shredded Pork in Garlic Sauce. A veggie dish, #108, Eggplant Tofu in Brown Sauce. We liked that hot tea was automatic. We didn't like that all other soft drinks were canned. Luckily the tea was good. The "Noodles" arrived first. They were actually a soup. This had a red broth, stuffed wontons with ground pork and sesame oil flavor, and small cubes of well seasoned meat. Not what we ordered. There were two problems with that. Nobody checked on us so we couldn't bring it up. And, luckily it was fine, so we ate it anyway. About 15 minutes later, the pork showed up. It was delicious with long pieces of stir-fried pork with julienned veggies and tree ear fungus. The portions were huge, so we happily conserved stomach space for the eggplant dish. It never arrived. We were planning to take our leftovers home for dinner. As we sat there looking sheepishly helpless, we finally decided to have seconds on the precious two dishes we were served; assuming that they "forgot" our third dish. So much for our dinner plans. We sat at that table for over an hour after receiving our first dish, as other tables around us turned twice. No eggplant. No checking on us. Nothing. The waitress wouldn't even look in our direction. It was really strange. I didn't want to believe that we were being ignored deliberately; it's so uncommon nowadays. I remember this level of prejudice from visiting the South in the early 60s; luckily this type of behavior is no longer tolerated. It was so blatant, though, we both had to accept that it was no mistake. Yep it was the real thing. I finally decided. That's it. I'm leaving. We seemed invisible. I decided to visit the restroom. Since I took my jacket and bag with me, it seemed to garner the attention of a waiter who had just arrived. He managed to notice my H looking helpless, who evidently asked for the check, which was there when I returned from the restroom. I was grateful that they saw their way clear to bring some to-go containers to our table, even though not enough for dinner. There were supposed to be two restrooms; one was out of service and the other was not very clean, with wet floors, dirt at the margins, and a nasty rag hanging on a rail behind the toilet. Oak Park is not a place we readily visit and we went out of our way to go here, based on so many good Yelp reviews. I'd say, if you want to partake from their buffet or freezer, knock yourself out. If you want to sit down and order from the menu, watch out. Or at least be Asian. read more
Feet and hands down Best Chinese restaurant in the west lake/Thousand Oaks area. My girlfriend and I met here for a bite during our time crunch lunch hour. She arrived a bit early and put in our orders a few minutes before i arrived. Coming here for the first time i knew it was a gem telling by their all Asian clientele also getting lunch here. The food was served with a few minutes and looked scrumptious! The portions are hefty and the flavors are incredible given the great ingredients. From everything on the table I think the Szechuan cold noodles were the standout. Their spicy kick did not overpower its other flavors and had great crunchy and fresh veggies sprinkled over the savory noodles. Very fresh entree perfect for the punishing heat. Their soup pork dumplings were also so juicy, steamy and packed with plenty protein. The dough was a bit on the thicker side but very delicious. Side note - they also sell frozen dumplings by the bag in their freezer out front. The restaurant was a special find that gave us all the reasons to return. Their service was amazing, the furniture was clean, and food was amazing. Certainly will try more items on their extensive menu. read more

We were in the area so we decided to try this resto. Walked in and there were only two tables that were occupied and a worker was mopping the floors. So I got confused if they were open or not. There was no one at the front counter so I walked to the other side of the counter, thinking this place might be one of those fast food Chinese restaurants. To my dismay, I saw trays full of animal parts that I would never eat. I wish they would cover these trays cuz not everyone can stomach seeing those parts. Anyway, a waiter approached us and gave us the Menu. I asked if they were open and he said yes. I looked at the Menu and noticed they do serve regular Chinese food. We sat and decided what we want but no one really approached us. My husband flagged the waiter to take our orders: fried Rice, salt and pepper fish and pork dumplings. When the food arrived, I was shocked of the huge servings. And they are all good!!! Oh and after our food was delivered, a waitress came and she was more attentive and provided better service than the waiter we dealt with earlier. Overall, we might go back.... I just won't look what's behind the food shield. read more
It's hard to find good authentic Chinese food in the Conejo Valley so thank goodness Yunnan opened up here. This is legit Chinese food hence you will notice that many Asians dine here or come to pick up their takeout order. We've been multiple times and never disappointed. Love the cold dishes from the bar too, like the tripe. My favorite dish so far is the fish with preserved vegetables in clay pot! I would skip the soup dumplings though. The menu is big so you'll find something for everyone. Service can be a little slow at times but everyone seems very friendly and helpful. read more

Have been here many times since this Oak Park location opens a few years ago. Same good quality Chinese food with authentic ingredients and great taste as their other locations in Monterey Park, Arcadia, etc. Well-known for their signature cold dishes (as appetizers or sides) and rice noodles (soup or not). Yunnan/Sichuan Cursine is known for spicy foods, but their non-spicy entries are also delicious! Top option for Chinese food in Ventura county. read more

One of the authentic Chinese restaurants in the area. Loved everything that we ordered that night. Our favorite was the pan fried dumplings that we ordered one more portion after we quickly finished the first order. The portions were generous with great service! Will return when I have the craving for some Chinese food again soon! read more
This was really a great surprise. The dumplings popped with juicy goodness. The hot and sour soup was enormous, we felt like we didn't even make a dent it, but so good! Our server was great and took good care of us. It's funny, it has a feel of both a sit down restaurant and a take out place. read more
the chicken with broccoli with steamed rice is the best, most comforting meal! You can customize your spice level in an authentically Asian way, I find that they make medium spicy with a good kick. The service is always warm here and the complimentary tea that comes out on being seated is a very nice touch. Yunnan is that consistent, casual neighborhood restaurant that keeps you coming back read more
Five stars! Amazing and authentic Taiwanese / Sichuan food! I love their hot plate selection of appetizers - chicken feet, tripe, pork belly, seaweed, and a lot more My favorites: Spicy Mala fried chicken: spicy chicken wings that are spicy and mouth numbing. Best thing on the menu! Fish Hot Pot: delicious hot pot of veggies and fish fillets. Spicy and mouth numbing. Delightful. Spicy popcorn chicken. This dish is SPICY but amazing. Spicy and mouth numbing hot! Tons of flavor and fun to eat This place is probably my favorite Sichuan restaurant t in Southern California. read more

Very solid authentic Chinese restaurant to open in the Thousand Oaks area. A lot of Chinese locals frequent this business which is a positive sign. I got the Rice Noodle with fried ground pork since that's a specialty of Yunnan province. I asked for it to be a little spicy, and the flavor was very rich from the ground pork. Rice noodles were very chewy too which is great because they can be soft at alot of other restaurants I've been to. The Szechuan cold noodles were also very good, with the flavor coming from the sauce. I was curious how they did their xiao long baos so I got one set. Flavor in the soup was solid. Not piping hot upon arrival; acceptable temperature though they reached room temperature pretty quickly before we could finish them. My main issue was the dumpling skin. 5/10 kept ripping because the skin would be stuck to the steamer. But overall, I thought the dumplings were better than those at eLoong Dumpling in Westlake Village. Their menu is very extensive so would definitely return to try something else when I'm in the area again or at one of their other locations. read more
We used to live in the area and loved Zen Garden, but it was gone and Yunnan Restaurant was in its place. We decided to go anyway, and we weren't disappointed. Here is what we noticed: - Atmosphere is pretty basic, nothing special. - Service was good. - Food was excellent. We especially loved the Salt & Pepper Fish Fillet and the Port Fried Dumplings. Wow!! Bottom line: Great local place that we wish was located near our current home. read more

I really enjoyed the cold dishes served at this restaurant. The pig ear is super tasty and legitimate. I also especially enjoyed the pork belly and bun dish. The bao were moist and overall well made. The cabbage and pork belly was cooked well and nicely paired with the bread. I felt like my least favorite was the chili wonton which was a little too soupy for my liking. I do prefer the chili wontons at Eloong in Westlake or Tasty China in East Ventura. The fried chicken was also average for me. I do think the one served at Tasty China is also better. I would come back for the cold dishes as well as the pork belly and bao dish. read more
We continue to find new items we like. Some are a bit too adventurous for us. This is as authentic as it gets. They have the American comfort items. Kung Pao chicken is a favorite along with shredded pork with Beijing sauce and light crepes are a new favorite. The dumplings are large and flavorful. read more

The cold dishes were fantastic--packed with flavor and served in generous portions. I almost couldn't finish them, but they were a delicious addition to our meal, and I'd highly recommend giving them a try. All of the options at the booth looked amazing. We also ordered the Szechuan-style braised pork with crepes, which was a new dish for me. The pork was cooked nicely and paired well with the crepes. However, the dish comes with a lot of shredded pickled vegetables, which, combined with the braising liquid from the pork, made it quite salty after a few bites. Overall, it was a pleasant combination, but just a bit too salty for my taste. read more

Really great quality Chinese food in the Chinese area. I love trying this particular spicy chicken dish at different restaurants. The one here does not have as strong as a spicy numbing feeling as other versions. It has an excellent taste and overall spice. This with some white rice is a must have!!! read more

Have been to Yunnan Restaurant now a few times, and every time the food has been great! You can tell this place serves very authentic Chinese food, along with classic American Chinese dishes as well. They have a huge menu with lots of variety for everyone. The service is always fast, attentive, and friendly. My wife and I have tried a few options but some of our favorites have been the orange chicken, lamb with cumin, garlic cabbage, and the hot and sour soup (not pictured). My only reason for giving this spot 4/5 stars is I wish the menu noted more of the ingredients that came in the dishes as my wife and I have some dietary restrictions, and I wish I knew before ordering some dishes and having to send it back not knowing what fully was included. Also, the times we have been it has been uncomfortable warm inside for my preference. Excited to be coming back and trying new dishes! read more
