Heaven on earth. Time after time never disappointed with carryout or eating in. Definitely get the egg rolls. You always leave full and happy.

if I could put a zero I would. my significant other has a whole bunch of allergies, so we told this older Asian guy and all he could say was no with some attitude. He slammed our food on the table. had a whole bunch of attitude. The food / service was horrible. this place definitely deserves to be shut down. Then on the way out I don't leave a tip because people should earn their tips and he definitely did not earn it, he then proceeds to wave me down screaming at me telling me I need to sign and leave tip so I leave it zero and he says "no tip" and I say no he then tells me to never come back. This place is horrible. Please never go here.

The taste of the food is not as good as other Singapore noodles in other places I love.

First order since they changed names. Two entries and two appetizers. Food seemed a little better and a little cheaper. Middle of the road Americanized Chinese food.

I had the distinct pleasure of dining at Yen Yen Chinese Restaurant, and I must say, it was an extraordinary culinary experience. This hidden gem on the North Shore has truly earned its reputation as the best Chinese restaurant in the area.From the moment I stepped through the doors, the impeccable service was evident. The staff's attention to detail and their genuine warmth set the stage for what would be an exceptional meal.Now, let's talk about the food. The standout dish of the evening was undeniably the Beef with Panda Fried Noodles in Lobster Sauce. It was a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate. The tender slices of beef perfectly complemented the rich, velvety lobster sauce, creating a harmonious balance of savory and indulgent. The noodles, cooked to perfection, added a delightful texture to the dish. Simply put, it was a culinary masterpiece.But the excellence didn't stop there. Yen Yen's menu boasts a wide array of dishes that showcase the depth and diversity of Chinese cuisine. Each dish was prepared with precision, showcasing the freshest ingredients and expert culinary craftsmanship.In the realm of Chinese cuisine, Yen Yen is a true standout. It's a culinary destination that leaves you with an unforgettable impression. If I had Michelin stars to bestow, this establishment would undoubtedly earn a coveted five stars. Yen Yen Chinese Restaurant is a North Shore treasure that deserves every bit of praise it receives.

Ordered Mongolian beef, came out lukewarm after 20+ minutes, and had to get it reheated. Also, it is quite pricey for the smaller lunch portion. Ordered Hot and sour cup of soup and egg roll. Egg roll is delicious. Spent 30$ for a lunch with tax and tip.
