What People Are Saying About Yen's
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Yen's small, charming space has simple decor of hardwood floors and sloping stucco ceilings, with low lighting and tasteful decorations. The expansive menu includes traditional favorites like dumplings and egg rolls, countless varieties of beef, pork, chicken and seafood dishes, along with plenty of vegetarian options and noodle plates. Steamed dumplings are a good starter; recommended entrees include Szechuan beef, a generous entree of thinly sliced meat with shredded veggies in a mild, flavorful sauce.

Yen's - basic chinese formula done exceptionally well
by AnandV at Citysearch
I must say i really appreciate Yen's. It's not inventive, pioneering cuisine by any means. But it is chinese food done exceedingly well. The flavors are balanced, and the kitchen obviously takes great pride in what they do. Today there is so, so much bad chinese food out there, that it is truly refreshing to find a place like Yen's which does what it does great! This is an excellent restaurant for basic chinese food- it is WAY BETTER THAN CHEN'S on clark street.
- Pros: excellent pott stickers, won ton soup, kung pao chicken
- Cons: none

Amazing

Very good chinese food. The waiter was very friendly and they totally were willing to work with me when I wanted to change some things about my order! The prices are great as well. My boyfriend and I usually pay around $20 for both of us. In this area that is a bargain
- Pros: quick service, very friendly
- Cons: parking

Best Shrimp & Chicken Fried Rice
by optionsrusrealry at Citysearch
Let me just say that I am not a fan of Chinese Food but my husband loves it. He took me to Yen's on one of our first dates, over 13 years ago and I love this place. We have been coming to Yen's for a very long time and the carry out is always as good as when you are dinning in. The Foods is excellant, the shrimp rolls are to die for and the food is never greasy. I have turned many people out to this place and they just keep coming back. Charlie and the rest of the staff are great. Highly Recommended.
