Not bad

Feb 2020 • family

We ordered carry out for 5. Food was ok. Not great,not terrible. Just ok. Quantity of food was very good but we all agreed that it was kind of bland. It definitely lacked seasoning. We ordered 1 white rice and 5 fried rice. When we got our order home we only had 1 fried and 1white rice. Overall not impressed at all with the flavor of the food. Probably would not go back.

Mostly very good

Feb 2022 • family

Presentation was nice, the fried rice was excellent, and the won ton soup and crunchy noodles were very good. My husband was pleased with his spicy General Tso's chicken, and our granddaughter with her pork lo mein. My cashew shrimp was loaded with shrimp but had no flavor. I've never had this dish without some kind of sauce added. It was just a pile of shrimp and celery with some cashews and a few strips of carrot. I'll try something different next time. The waiters were helpful and very pleasant.

Great chinese meal

May 2021 • none

When I grew up in RVA (decades ago), there wasn't ANYTHING like Yen Ching. Very good food. I had sesame shrimp and it was delicious. Service was a bit rough, but I think they just aren't at full staff yet (pandemic). But it's a lovely atmosphere and really good food

Worst. Chinese food. Ever .... at Yen Ching W. Broad location

Feb 2020 • none

I've eaten at their other locations (Hull St., Midlothian Tnpk.) on multiple occasions for last 3 decades. It was always competent and instantly recognizable Chinese version of comfort food that I've come to appreciate. At the West Broad location, the food was just TERRIBLE. It looked and tasted nothing like what we had at their other locations. Every single dish we ordered was bad except for one, Hunan shrimp and it was just OK. They gave us Sichuan beef when we ordered Hunan beef. And it was lacking vegetables that usually come with Sichuan beef. Their Mongolian beef was unrecognizable and flavorless. Their signature Yen Ching soup was also awful, nothing like their counterpart at other locations. Hot and sour soup was very bland and didn't have that rich brown color. Mapo tofu was watery and bland, utterly lacking in any hint of spice, with cosistency more like a soup. Sesame chicken was soggy and also bland. They did not even include any utensils in our carrryout order. This was by far the worst Chinese carryout ever. The hack that cooks food at this location should be fired for masquerading as a chef. Either that or their real chef was out with illness that day.

Not Impressive.

Dec 2022 • none

This was a birthday treat lunch and my first time going. Waiter gruff, no personality or people skills. Ordered orange chicken, which just tasted sweet with no orange flavor. Informed waiter of this and he argued that it was. Sent manager ? Wayne ? over to table without me asking. Stated next time I come to ask for him. Later I got a burst of orange taste from one forkful. Took leftovers home. When reheated no orange flavor again. Egg rolls served before entree were nothing to write home about. The whole area was a little tight seated. Ladies rest room reeked. Sorry, not anxious to return, Wayne.

Not What It Used To Be

Aug 2021 • family

This used to be our "go to" place in the area, but the food is not what it used to be. The last few times it's just been okay but not worth the money. Our last order was pick up for dinner, and I specifically asked for one dish to be "not spicy," but when I opened it at home, no one could eat it. It was so incredibly hot and spicy that it was almost like the cook went overboard with the heat. The whole dish ended up in the trash. This will probably be our last order, and it's a shame because the food used to be excellent.

Beef vs Pork

Sep 2020 • solo

I ordered twice cooked pork or hot pork. They gave me beef and no pork! Disgusting! I can't eat red meat, just pork. Never again will I deal with this nonsense Don't order delivery because how do you Express your issues?

Nice, open decor with exceptional service. Nice menu with spicy items clearly marked. Even though the restaurant was busy, our orders were prepared promptly and were delicious. Ample parking.

Yes, we would come again. Service was prompt and gracious. Food was good. Vegetables cooked just right, not too hard or too soft. Pleasant lunch. Clean comfortable room.

Pick up only

Apr 2020 • none

Internet order for pick-up. Did look nice inside. Kind of standard. Could have been better if we were allowed to dine inside. Ready in a timely fashion.

My family has been visiting Yen Ching for about 35 years!

Nov 2019 • none

We always have found the food to be delicious, no matter what we've ordered. Our family favorite is the Crispy Chicken from the dinner menu. Their service has always been very attentive. We've had many family dinners there, marking birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations.

Best Chinese food in Richmond

Oct 2018 • friends

I love eating there. No matter what I order it is always outstanding. My favorite meal is Double Happiness. I always have some to take home and eat the next day. I also love their Hone crispy Chicken.

One of Our Go-To

Jul 2018 • couples

The first time I went there I ordered hot tea. It was derived hot and perfect (not weak like some places). Then we ordered white meat chicken chow mien. Awesome! Each time we get the same thing but we also get a bunch of soups and sides. We always come back for more. Our only complaint would be the volcano drink - too sugary and wrong ratio of flavors. Great ambiance.

Don’t eat at Yen Ching

Oct 2017 • solo

Decent food and reliable. Except, when my delivery order got screwed up and never came I was told it was on the way. After another call, told it wasn’t coming. So, mistakes happen. That’s understood. When I told the manager, he said ‘no problem’ give me your credit card number and I’ll replace the order. Really! After a 2 hour wait, you want me to drop $40 on a meal that cost you $2.50? Business must be real good
