Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Maybe I don't know what Chinese food is "supposed" to taste like, but if it isn't Yen Ching, then I don't wanna know. Yes, my review is probably skewed because I love the old-school atmosphere, and the fact that Yen Ching has been in the same location on Main Street since - I dunno - forever. Be forewarned: the service can be kooky (really, there's no other word). But the food I've ordered -- specifically the twice-cooked pork -- makes up for it. As a bonus, the Mai Tais are delicious, *and* they're served in wacky Polynesian-themed glasses. Add it all up, and this place is head and shoulders above some of the other Chinese places in town.

Dear lord stay away... the food was slimy and tasteless. Worst lunch decision of my life. Felt like I was eating a bowl of snot... maybe I was!

Salt, starch, and canned veggies on a plate. That has to be what it is.

I couldn't wait to get home before writing a review. Sitting in Yen Ching right now, having one of the most unpleasant experiences from a restaurant in my life. I stood waiting for a seat, one of only 3 groups dining there. It took at least five minutes for me to be acknowledged, even though what I thought was the manager and a waitress weren't five feet away from me. I was seated to a table with a sticky top and served hot tea that was probably the same temperature as my ice water. The country music playing didn't exactly feel too atmospheric. While the food came out quickly, it did not satisfy me. I was served egg drop soup, which was average, and the waitress grabbed a lone spoon off of another table, making me wonder for a moment if it was used. The only flavor in my hunan vegetables seemed to be salt, and as I grudgingly ate, the waitress began to add extra silverware to my table for whomever would be taking my place after I left. Overall, I had a poor experience at Yen Ching and I would not recommend it.

Didn't like the smell to the egg soup but the Ming's beef was pretty good. The wantan they give you is tiny but tasty. Also didn't care for the tea they served, had a weird taste to it as well, kind of soapy maybe. Our server was very nice though. Could definitely use an update to the decor and the signage outside.

Food was pretty good, but staff was immature and rude. Handed our dishes to us and walked away. Waitress seem to think it was cool to yell across the restaurant and make fun of the guests. Not what I remember of Yen Ching. Left much larger tip than I should have, but hoped it might change the attitude a little. I guess I am old fashioned. This place is definitely not Taiko.

Used to be good, but was sold and has become terrible. Most the food is bland, the service is slow, and the atmosphere us more like a morgue than a restaurant.

Dare I say 5-stars? If the chicken in the Kung Pao had been a little better, it would have happened. There's something about Hot and Sour soup when it's cold and dreary out. That's what we've got here in Dubuque now, with an emphasis on the cold. Yen's Hot and Sour was as good as any I've had. I left some of my meal, but ate all the soup. The Kung Pao Chicken was good, with a hint of garlic, plenty of water chestnuts, and other veggies. The peppers and onions were a little over-cooked for my taste, and it lacked enough peanuts to even be noticed. Service was excellent. The hostess (and other waitress) told me as she seated me that I was to be nice since I was getting the new girl. "She's having a bad night" was supposed to make me sympathetic, I guess. Turns out my waitress was on her second night. She did great. Street-level parking wasn't a problem. I'd recommend this place if you're in the area.

We ended up at Yen Ching after discovering that our favorite restaurant in Dubuque (Asian Gourmet) closed up shop a month ago. A couple of locals recommended it and we were starving, so... The place sort of reminded me of the place I had my first Chinese meal ever, at the age of 6 - the old Nankin in Minneapolis. It's kitschy - and on the seedy side. But we decided to give it a go. We were pleasantly surprised to see Tsing Tao beer on the drinks menu. We love beer with Chinese food and Chinese food requires Chinese beer (duh). We ordered the Seafood Dinner for two. The first course was some kind of sizzling soup. I think the stuff that "sizzles" is some kind of rice or noodles, but given the texture (it never softened in the soup), it might have been Pop Rocks. On the plus side, the chicken broth tasted homemade, but I'm pretty sure real Chinese cooks don't use frozen peas and carrots in their soup. Next course: egg rolls and Crab Rangoon. With the exception of the late lamented Asian Gourmet, I have never had Crab Rangoon that actually seemed to feature any sort of crab. How do they get away with that? Do they call it "Crab" Rangoon just because they fold the wonton wrapper so it looks like a crab? It baffles me. The egg roll was good, but judging by the fact that the wrapper wasn't bubbly and crisp the way egg roll wrappers usually are, this egg roll was baked, not fried. Here we discovered the highlight of the meal: the Chinese mustard. Holy moly - was THAT a kick in the wontons! I have never had mustard that hot in my life. It shot straight up your nose and blew the top of your head off. Then, when your nose started running so you had to breathe through your mouth, the stuff got into your lungs and had you choking that way, too. It.Was.Magnificent! The sinus clearing power of a neti pot, but a lot more fun. It saved the egg rolls. Our entrees (some kind of triple delight and sweet-and-sour shrimp, as near as I can figure) were okay. I'm not a fan of sweet and sour, so that one fell mostly to my companion. The triple delight was somewhat better (to me) - scallops and shrimp, with vegetables. The broccoli was nicely cooked, but the crab was krab. And the whole was a bit on the salty side. Overall, I give Yen Ching two stars: one for the Tsing Tao and the mustard, and one for our pleasant and attentive waitress. The food is about what you'd expect of Chinese food in Dubuque, Iowa. Buyer beware.

Haven't been here in awhile, thought we'd give it a try. Crabmeat and eggroll apps were greasy deep fried chewy. Kungpow was scalding hot, Mongolian beef was chewy and skimpy. Emptied the tea kettle between 4 of us quickly. No refill. No refill on drinks either without asking. Food took forever even though our table of four and another table of 3 were the only ones in the place.

Worst Chinese food EVER. Do not eat here if you have any idea of what Chinese food is supposed to taste like. Seriously, it's that bad.
