Decided to go Chinatown and eat here because of good reviews. Was seated immediately, we are a group of 8. Our server has a bit of difficulty speaking english when we ask questions but the serving is huge. We ended up ordering plenty because of the misunderstanding that each order is good for one when it fact, it is a platter. From the soup, to rice, to everything is huge portion so keep that in mind. The location is not very far from $7 parking garage, used to be $5. Pretty easy to find. If you are looking for good Chinese food, this is your place. Ambiance is so so but we did not mind since all we did was talk. We liked everything, I particularly liked the Slippery Shrimp, Braised Tofu (a hint of spice) and Pork Chop. The Duck is kinda dry.

Yang Chow is always a great stop in Chinatown. The food is so good the fried rice, dumplings, and string beans are all must orders. Their Slippery Shrimp, which is one of their most famous dishes, is a must-try too. The Kung Pao, Chow Mein are also super popular and never disappoint. The service is attentive even when the place is packed, and it’s almost always crowded, but honestly the wait is worth it every time. I also love looking at all the celebrity photos on the wall, it gives the restaurant that classic, old school Chinatown charm.

This is now our second time visiting Yang Chow, and I’m always impressed. The food is wonderful and the portions are HUGE (we always go home with leftovers.) I’ve seen some mixed reviews on the service, but our server, Benny, was FANTASTIC. Very attentive, personal, and made us laugh. He was also very careful with a shrimp allergy in our party. We came in at 5pm and told them we needed to be out by 6:30 and would prefer fast service. I kid you not, we had food on the table by 5:10 and our full meal by 5:20. We were out at 6:15! Additionally, they have validated parking in the back, behind the building. This is now our new spot and we will be back anytime we want great Chinese food.

This is a great place to grab some delicious Chinese food. The wall of celebrities shows its long history. I recommend ordering the slippery shrimp and fried rice. They have a private parking lot and there’s also a paid lot down the street. Staff are attentive and service is great. They also have cocktails, if you’re looking to paint the town red.

There are a lot of Chinese restaurants in this area that are just as good, if not better than this place with probably less of a wait. I went here not knowing that my sister saw this place on TikTok and wanted to try their slippery shrimp. What we ordered, most liked to least: SHRIMP FRIED RICE - It wasn’t super greasy like you’d expect fried rice to be. It had a good flavor to it, light (didn’t seem like it had soy sauce) and had a good amount of shrimp. KUNG PAO CHICKEN - Flavorful, the only thing I wasn’t too fond of was there seemed to be more green onions and peanuts than chicken. SLIPPERY SHRIMP - It was good but I prefer my original walnut shrimp. It reminded me of the shrimp version of orange chicken (but less tangier). Chicken LO MIEN NOODLES - the main flavor I tasted was soy sauce. In my opinion, there wasn’t a good balance of flavors with this dish. I don’t recommend it. SERVICE: Workers were super friendly. Food came out very quickly. What wasn’t quick was getting your table. We waited about 45 minutes for a table. And no you can’t make reservations.
