Yen Ching Restaurant

I have literally been coming to this restaurant my entire life and I'm 29 years old. My parents would drive for hours, and still do, to eat at Ying Ching!! Excellent good at a good value. James, the owner, is a nice and sweet guy. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Americanized Chinese food is one of the hardest ethnic types to count on being at least adequate. So many Americanized Chinese restaurants are positively shambolic with the food being inedible. A minority of these restaurants are good or better with very, very few being truly excellent. This makes eating Chinese food a constant adventure, one where you expect to wipe out far more often than you have a satisfying ride.

Yen Ching's food is good. Not great, but definitely clear of the deep pit of suckitude so common in this type of food. The woman serving us - potentially the owner's wife - was really unfriendly and we joked it was like being at the Soup Nazi's stand as she angrily shoved plates on our table as she charged by it, with nothing coming at the same time (one bowl of soup; later a second bowl of soup; later rice; later the rice and entree of the other person; last the entree to go with the cold rice delivered before). But the food tasted good.

We go here or get take out quite often.  My husband's family has been going here for years.  The HOUSE BEEF is the best!! It's a bit spicy, but not too spicy.  The crab rangoon, mushu pork, and almond chicken are also some of our favorites!
