My partner and I both had a combination dinner for one, but a different one. Both included an unappetizing, grey mass of onions, celery, and water chestnuts buried (for appearance sake) under a mountain of noodle like crackers. The Egg Rice was unsurprisingly bland. My Broccoli and Beef was mostly beef with a few overcooked broccoli trees in a ladle... More

Every time we get a chance to go to Mesa we make it a point to eat here! The food is amazing and we have never had anything we didn't like. This is a must try and worth the drive no matter where you live!!! More

I laugh when I see anything less than a 4 star review, because I am from NYC, and Yen Ching rivals most eateries there! Are the dishes always perfect? No. But I have never left there upset or disappointed. The staff is friendly, genuinely so, which is enough reason to return. More

The waitress suggested the curry and since I generally like curry i got the shrimp curry. It was very tasty and nicely cooked. The rice and eggroll were also good. I am looking forward to going back and trying their Kung Pao and other things. The waitstaff was extremely attentive. More

Waiters are very attentive to customers needs, the dishes and utensils are never dirty and the linen tablecloth is sparkling white. This restaurant is a great place to take friends as the atmosphere is one in which you can really carry on a good conversation without raising your voice. More

My wife and I have been going to Yen Ching for 15 years after a friend told us. The food has always been very good. I really like the shrimp in lobster sauce. My wife has a very sensitive stomach, maybe due to gall bladder problems, and they will fix the food just the way she needs. She usually gets... More

I can't handle the decor or the old-smelling building, but the food's consistently tasty, so I get carry-out here a couple times a month usually. It's not the best Chinese ever, but definitely the best in Arizona that I've run across. I've tried most of the menu over the past few years, and my favorite entrees are the yen ching... More
