Yen Ching Restaurant

$21.00 for this small amount of chicken is ridiculous pricing is wrong on web site as well. Did not even get a drink and portion's are small for this pricing. Was told 15 to 20 mins before it would be ready show up 9 mins later to my food waiting and when I eat it, it’s cold and soggy. I will not be returning. Restaurant ask looked very dark and dirty when I walked in. Guy at front counter claim to be manager and was very rude also. Called to speak with manager in regard to food and he told me if I ate it there it would be crispy lol never Heard of this bull crap before, I work right next door lol. Over sauced and so cold it’s not funny. I will be telling all my customers to avoid this restaurant also and I have a massive customer base in the area. This is truly sad and way over priced. Ha

We love Yen Ching!!! When we finally discovered it, we were duly impressed. Now, it is our favorite Chinese restaurant in Mesa, that's not a buffet. To me it is the most authentic Chinese food outside of mainland China. I'm not sure if he is the manager or the owner, but David runs the place like a well oiled machine and he is friendly, courteous, and very efficient. He has a great smile on his face at all times, and makes his customers feel comfortable.

Yen Ching Mandarin Restaurant is a well-known hole in the wall Asian restaurant that has been around in Mesa, Arizona for almost 30 years, and this is our first time enjoying it! After walking past the waiting area, I did not expect to see and feel a elegant and relaxing atmosphere. We ordered shrimp and snow peas, Yen Ching signature Mongolian beef, what's a side of Crab puffs and sweet and sour soup. Every item ordered was to imperfection, and so was our service. I can't wait to eat at this establishment again. So glad we made it in before they close!

It really saddens me to write this review. We live nearby and have been coming to this restaurant for about 15 years. Last night we brought my son and his girlfriend. My son ordered the General Tso's chicken and it was different from what we had ever seen. The sauce was very thick and the taste just was not appealing. We asked the waiter (the white haired guy) if we could get something else and he insisted the food was fine how they made it. I didn't argue, left a smaller tip, and we agreed never to come back. Too many other options to go to. Sorry...JH

This was probably some of the worst chinese food I've had. I ordered the sweet and sour pork and the broccoli beef. The pork was so hard to chew, the broccoli and beef tasted almost like a chemical. The egg fried rice had no flavor. The service was almost non existent. I didn't even take my left overs home because I knew I'd never touch it again.
