Yen Ching Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Evansville

The serving sizes for takeout were ENORMOUS. None of us could finish our food. The egg rolls were delicious, really really fresh.

I got Tso chicken, and my complaint was that the chicken was very tough/stringy and the sauce was lacking the characteristic 'heat' that comes in Tso chicken.

My wife got beef and broccoli. Now, the beef is wonderful. It was VERY good quality meat. What it lacked was flavor! the sauce was very bland and more like it was cooked in a standard brown gravy type sauce rather than the usual type of sauce that comes on beef and broccoli. And she likes broccoli with a bit of crunch, but this was darned near raw broccoli, like no attempt had been made to cook it at all.

I got an order of crab rangoons as well. While they definitely did have them stuffed, they didn't have the sweetness that rangoons usually have, but that was easily remedied with some sweet and sour sauce.

The rice we got was...not the good type of rice. There's a big difference between using the cheap crap and using the good stuff. I don't expect sushi grade rice, but the rice was just...pretty much like mashed potato consistency with chunks of gritty rice. Seriously...not good rice.

So, that place gets a pass from us for chinese takeout in the future. Just...not the quality one would expect...

This was our first trip to Yen Ching. The building is very beautiful. We ordered three different meals (They had no kids options)-- chicken lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, and beef & broccoli. Each came with a soup, which each soup was pretty good. Unfortunately, each entree was not good. Each entree came with an order of fried rice. It tasted like white rice.The sweet and sour chicken was inedible, and we sent it back to the kitchen. It was smothered in a weird congealed sauce that tasted unlike any sweet and sour chicken we had ever tried, but not in a good way. The beef and broccoli was edible but we contemplated sending it back. The sauce was congealed and flavorless. We doused it salt to make it edible. The chicken lo mein was also flavorless and the noodles were soggy. I would haven given 1 star, but the service was good, and the manager comped the sweet and sour. The building was also very cool looking and...

My girlfriend and I ate here for the first time last night and it looked rather unassuming from the outside but the inside of the restaurant had an awesome decor and really set the mood. We next ordered the volcano drink which was simply labeled as a “concoction” but was super whimsical and fun! The rest of our time at the restaurant was amazing. The service was some of the best I’ve ever had. Always present if needed and ensured that our drinks were kept full while still not appearing to hover or pressure. The food was incredible, especially my mu shoo pork with pancakes. Plus really big portions so we have leftovers. Definitely will be back in...
