Yunnan Restaurant — Restaurant in Lake Forest

We had lunch here the other day. There is a lot of parking available. The restaurant itself is warm and inviting with plenty of seating inside.

5-STARS because not only is the food tasty, it is priced reasonably and the workers are much more friendly and service-oriented than most Chinese restaurants.

The first time I walked in, one worker was enthusiastic about providing me samples of the vegetable cold side dishes.

This is the best Chinese Yunnan cuisine I've ever had. I will be returning here as much as I can!

I only wish I could make friends with some Chinese folks to try out more of the menu family style. Unfortunately I cannot find any Americans who are interested in eating here with me because they don't want to explore outside the non-General Tso's kind of...
