Fast carry-out, freshly cooked Chinese. Always 10-15 minutes before food is ready if you call in. Great packaging for dinner specials for re-heat purposes the next day. I used to hit up Yen Ching all the time and a couple of yrs ago this place really stepped up in terms of the food and service. I'm not sure what was with the guy wanting more from the lunch special.. 4.75 for Cashew Chicken another 4.75 for your General Tso's... and two drinks at prob 2$ a pc (I personally stick to water). Expensive? Not at all.. marked up soda was nearly 1/3 your bill. Nonetheless, I'm not sure how you could be shorted in those containers..an equal helping of chicken and rice w an egg roll on the side. Should have got the dinner special or ordered a quart of something if you were that hungry...only a couple dollars more. Bait and switch..sheesh.. you need to bridge the gap a bit more with ESL folks... sounds like you've never...
Read moreIt was open on Christmas and cleaner than most such carryouts but flavors were as bad as the daughter's customer service skills. I've never had anyone actively eating while taking my order before. Mom was eating too right in front of the cook line. When it was time to sign my charge slip I waited for a pen but the daughter instead pointed down the counter to where one was and had me go get it. Weird. When the food came, things failed to improve. Garlic chicken was supposed to be spicy... Was a weird fake red color (bottled sweet and sour sauce?), not spicy and way too sweet. I've never seen shrimp chow fun made with tiny round spaghetti thickness rice noodles either...or with just 5 shrimp, bland as can be, and without a single vegetable. Also with amount of MSG my wife tasted in these dishes we'd probably have been healthier next door at McD's after all. Pity that Thai Papaya...

IDK if they have new ownership or just a change in staff, but the last two times I have been there a new younger girl rang up my order. The first time I was overcharged by $1.83 which I caught and had her redo before I left; last night it was only $0.71. I looked everything over while I was there and did the math in my head and came pretty close so I didn't say anything; but I brought home a menu and checked it after I got here and sure enough it was incorrect again.
The middle-aged lady who has taken my order for the past several years never made a mistake as far as I can tell, but she has not been there so I wonder if they sold the restaurant.
The food is still good, but I'm taking my calculator with me the next time I go in.
