Yen Ching Chinese Restaurant

Best Chinese food in Peoria, meaning it's the only Chinese food I can actually eat without getting sick. But for real, the food has a ton of flavor at a reasonable price and I like the Hong Kong noodles.

I've been going here since my brain could start processing memories. So, this is the Chinese food I base the quality of all other Chinese foods on.

Love the hot and sour soup, fried rice, General Tso's Chicken, Mongolian Beef...the food is good, not greasy. We usually order it sans MSG.

The price is good also.

I see many people have complained about the service. Don't take it personally. She's very nice in her own way. She's been working there forever.

All around thumbs up.

My husband and I order the wonton soup religously. However, I cannot have MSG and there are simply not enough items on their menu without it. Their prices are reasonable and portions large. There is also a very assertive waitress there that tends to intimidate us a little.
