Yen Ching - Lakewood

The service was great but the meals are mostly vegetables. However the quality of food is amazing. EVERYTHING IS SUPER DELICIOUS, but especially the sweet and sour and garlic sauce meals.

Visited today for lunch. We ordered orange chicken which was light and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Sauce had fresh orange garnish and was very tasty. Our second dish was garlic shrimp. We were impressed at the amount of shrimp and it was cooked perfectly. So delicious with steamed rice. We will definitely visit again when in the area.

First time trying thus restaurant. Chinese food in wahington is a lot different than the Chinese food we had Arizona where we recently moved from. Personally I miss the food in arizona. The food here was different than we are use to but decent. Our favorite was the hot platter appetizers. My husband enjoyed his salt and pepper squid. I didn't like my chow fun. I am use to real thin rice noodle and they use a very wide noodle. I have never ever had egg drop soup with potatoes, peas and celery.

The three of us chose to each get the dinner combination which gives you a choice of an appetizer, a soup, entree, and fried or steamed rice. I can honestly say I have found my new local favorite Chinese restaurant. This restaurant is definitely one of the nicer in the Lakewood area. The atmosphere was relaxing and the decorations were very interesting and unique. My favorite dish is sesame chicken which was not one of the choices for entrees however the waitress said there was no problem selecting that as my entree choice. The staff was polite and attentive. From the outside the restaurant seems like a whole different place, however once you step inside you will be surprised. I was excited to see they had a koi pond and off to the side there is a small bar with a billiard table. We also got the appetizer sampler which arrived hot and perfectly cooked. My family had a great sit down dinner. We will definitely be returning. I took some time to read some of the other reviews and was happily surprised to see that the restaurant has been in service for over 30 years and has many excellent honest reviews, however I did notice several of the low reviews are from customers that didn't even have their verified Google review stars. Also another consistent low review point is from individuals that have chosen to order using a delivery service. Please keep in mind when using delivery services they do not have the individual experience for each customer as a top goal. They are focusing on getting as many orders delivered as possible, and a lot of times the food does not arrive to you in a timely manner, which people choose to blame the restaurant for. I do not believe that is fair because this restaurant in my opinion works very hard to get the food out to your table quickly and they are striving for excellent customer service. You cannot expect that when you are using a delivery service that focuses on mass delivery and speed.

Good service and portions. To be honest, I was a little unsure about the meat quality, but everything was delicious, so I won't let it affect my review. The restaurant is a good sized place, beautifully decorated with tasteful background music at low volumes. We went at lunch and the place was busy, but not so busy to stress the staff.
