We ordered the BBQ spareribs, Yen Ching chicken and Red Pepper Fish. The dinning room was nice, the service was good as well. They don't have many choices for drink, and the food is kinda pricey comparing with other Chinese restaurants. However, the chicken was over fried, so it was too dry and hard. It should be better. Hope they will put more vegetables into dishes.

Came in not knowing what to order, asked for a recommendation that was spicy but also savory. They recommended the teriyaki chicken. It was delicious, also a very big portion (picture is about 1/3 of the total food) Extremely good customer service throughout my dining experience. Really fast service as well

They brought hot tea out right away, and they have all of our favorite dishes. The food was terrific and came in large portions, so we all left very full. My kids are already talking about returning on our next trip.

This is my favorite chinse restaurant. The food is great, and the servers are very attentive. It seems a bit pricey, but the flavors are worth it. I always have the Seafood Sizzling Bowl. The rice is prepared in toasted, crisp waffer like chunks that compliments the shrimp, pee pods, and slivers of beef. It is in a busy location across from the Galleria Shopping Mall. There is off street parking available just south of the restaurant. If you exit behind the buildings, there is a stoplight for an easy left turn on Brentwood Avenue.

Food was pretty good. Crab Rangoon, Pot Stickers, Sesame Chicken & Yen Ching Beef was $69.35. The prices were 70%+ higher than on the Yelp menu. Be sure and go to their actual website for prices so you are not surprised. Also for almost $70 they only gave us 3 packets of soy sauce and 4 of sweet and sour sauce so be specific on how many you want.
