  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!

  Have been coming here for over 30 years and was disappointed the Carmel location closed, but who wants to go to Carmel anyway?  We always seemed to have the place to ourselves so not real shocking.
  
  Its the Sizzling Beef...Thats the deal here, but we as a family always like to get the big family dinner specials. Quite a lot of food all very well prepared and very tasty.  One of the Best Chinese places in town.  Sometimes the best food isnt served in the flashiest surroundings.

  This place is a staple of the east side and home to excellent Chinese food. The entrance way is plastered with accolades from the late 1980s, but they still ring true today. The menu contains many old favorites and many of the dishes can be prepared as spicy as you wish. Compared to Cheer King Star Express I believe my family and I will be ordering in from here more often.

  Likely my favorite Chinese restaurant in town!  Extensive and delicious menu, fun party platters, and the best service around.  You leave feeling full and appreciated.

  Yen ching is the landmark Chinese restaurant of the eastside. James, the owner and his family have been serving quality well prepared meals for 30+ years.
  
  Pot stickers, crabmeat wontons are fantastic. The hot and sour soup is some of the best I've ever experienced.
  
  Fish flavored pork, kung po chicken and white cucumber pork are my personal favorites.
  
  The 8 course party is a must for a fun night. Save room for the whole fish. You will be delighted.

  Just stopping to meet the in laws and gave this place a shot. It's older but has a nice small family owned feel. The food is good and at a good price. I love the potstickers! It is a must get here.
  
  I'll be back here next time I'm in town.
