Yenchim Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in San Diego

My family and I went on Christmas for dinner. We were asked if we had a reservation and there were eye rolls when we said no even though the restaurant was not even half occupied at our arrival around 5:00pm. They had two tables dedicated to carry out deliveries. We were sat between them. The restaurant is definitely old, classic Chinese with carpet throughout that hasn't been replaced in decades and metal frame banquet hall chairs from the 70s or even earlier. The food was okay.

So, long story short. Their quality is average, their hungry for money is huge, their love for the customers, meh. Our last time, this was our list time. Is full of excellent restaurants in the area, we will search and go there next time. This...

My family and I have been going here for years! Since I was little we celebrated at Yenchim Garden and have never had a bad meal. Truly a staple in our home.

From the Chicken and Green Beans to the Wonton Soup, the price and quantity is fair. Besides the food, the crew here (San!) are welcoming and efficient.

If you don’t feel like braving the chaos off Convoy Street, enjoy your favorite Chinese food items closer to home at Yenchim Garden. My mom is vegetarian and enjoys their Vegetable Chow Mein. I have enjoyed all of their soups, my favorite being their wonton soup for its light broth and...
