Yin Yue

A great cornerstone of American-Chinese food in Columbus. Over 30 years of being a favorite of the locals and travelers.This is nowhere near mainstream buffet tastes or standards. So no peas and carrots used to stretch this fried rice! The location may be a bit unsavory if you're not from here but the restaurant is well lit and under secured monitoring at all times. Do not pass this gem up. The dining area is quiet and intimate, minus the constant flow of friendly people picking up carry out. Decorated with the paintings and drawings of the original owner, it's very genuine and historical. Truly a special treat at a reasonable price. I can honestly say I have tried many of their dishes and it's always a struggle to decide what to get next. Nothing taste generic or common. Their sauces and gravies are authentic to their style. The egg rolls are unparalelled! And growing up in this city I have tried almost every other place and their taste just can't be beat. A few suggestions; If you are are into vegetable dishes I say try their Vegetable Lo Mein, Mapo Tofu, or Vegetable Curry Chow Foon. For chicken, I would go with Wor Sue Gai, Sesame Chicken, or Cantonese Chicken Chow Mein. For Beef, I would try Steak Kew, or Pepper Steak with Tomatoes. I personally like that the tomatoes add a subtle tart layer of flavor. As for Pork, get the Sweet and Sour Pork, or a local favorite-Pork Egg Foo Young! There are so many awesome dishes to try here. Whenever I come into to town, this is a MUST. Please comment and let me know what's your favorite!
