George Yang’s Chinese Cuisine

I have been going to this place for 5 years with my family that lives up in Flagstaff. Most all the time it was the best. They always wanted to stop here for our fix of Chinese food. We came on 4.26.25. The food was so bad. We had the shrimp fried rice & it had no flavor. The shrimp were boiled w nothing on them, just opaque pieces of chewy, slimy shrimp. The rice was flavorless. A few pieces of hard, and chewy veggies. Rice was also hard. It really was difficult to eat. We also had the Szechuan chicken & it was nothing but scraps that were hard to chew. Bright color and hard as rocks! We paid well over $100 for 3 people, and boxed up our food that was ultimately tossed in the garbage. Please fix the new issues with your food. Or loose your business! I don’t think we will ever be back again. Also, I don’t think these people even care. So sad to see a gem fall into the cracks. Spend your hard earned money somewhere else. Just not here!

Great local chain for solid sit-down Chinese. A big step up from the average 80’s vintage places (while still having a hint of that umbrella-in-drink feel) and similar, but vastly superior to the private-equity-ruined incarnation of Chang’s. The food here is high quality and doesn’t give you the MSG headache. The spicy dishes actually have a legitimate but of spice to them. Service is friendly and a highly attentive. The place is updated with a casual, modern feel that still has hints of the classic (if cheesy) Chinese restaurant. Definitely recommend.

I really love the atmosphere in this place. It was quiet a nice setting. This was a business lunch and the food was great. I ordered what I thought was the smaller dish The lunch dish not the dinner dish and it was a lot of food. The price was great. I ordered the orange chicken which came with a spring roll noodles and rice and a wonton. And that wonton was really good maybe next time I will get an order of fried wontons. There was a good amount of sauce chicken was tender. I ordered the green tea which was nice it tasted like a premium tea. Often places don't pay attention to getting a good tea. I will definitely be back to this place it will make a nice place for a date night. Everybody here was great they were nice they came by and checked to make sure we were happy with our food.

It was great Chinese food in Arizona! I recommend mabo tofu, fried dumplings, and chop suey with mushroom! The service is also good! Perfect for a big group to have and try different dishes and food. Try here if you are looking for good food!

Dining at George Yang’s was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for a memorable meal. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations from the menu. The food was absolutely amazing! Each dish was beautifully presented and packed with authentic flavors. The ingredients tasted fresh, and it was clear that a lot of care went into each plate. My personal favorites were Singapore Noodles but everything we tried was exceptional. The balance of flavors was spot on, and portions were generous. Overall, George Yang’s exceeded our expectations. It’s clear why so many people recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be back soon. If you’re looking for a restaurant that combines great food with top-notch service, I highly recommend giving George Yang’s a try!

Lunch was outstanding! Lunch small bottle of cold sake and good company. Perfect Afternoon! ($48 plus tip) left $60

I came in for some take out….They didn’t have Cashew Chicken - ok, how about chicken friend rice and crab puffs…….45 minutes later I left with my food. When I got home, my fried rice was boiled chicken in white rice with some scallions - and it smelled like fish. The crab puffs were ok but the sweet and sour was running and somewhat tasteless. Overall, gross would be the best description - don’t waste your time or money.

Phenomenal food and service. Some of the best Chinese food I've had. Would 100% recommend this place, my picture does not do it justice

Great food beat service and warm ambiance. Food is always delicious, service is always great.

Food is exceptional for Arizona Chinese cuisine. The service is team driven and excellent. Service is fast and consistent. The interior is modern and comfortable. This is our go to for NY style Chinese.

Visited on a Wednesday evening with my wife and her parents. The restaurant was very clean, spacious, and appropriately lit. Service was friendly and attentive. Parking was a bit busy but we got a spot without any issues. We did not order family style as the in-laws are not vegetarian, however my wife and I shared our two veggie dishes. We started with the veggie egg rolls which were perfectly crisp and hot. We ordered the Asian Veggie Delight (add tofu) and the veggie chow mein. The veggie delight was perfect, saucy, and delicious without being greasy. The chow mein was not our favorite as we prefer drier, but still had a good flavor. The in-laws had the Sizzling Black Pepper Filet Mignon and General Yang's which they both enjoyed thoroughly. Portions were large and we were able to make additional meals out of it! Would 10/10 be back and recommend!

I think this restaurant is bomb. I always have a great dining experience whether I dine in or take out. I love going to this restaurant with another person, we can order two or more dishes and share. This is a good way to enhance your meal by diversifying the food you can eat. One of my favorite dishes is the beef chow fun. It is something you cannot miss. Overall I would say this is a great restaurant and if you are wondering if you should eat here or order take out from George Yang you should go for it.

What I ordered , was just okay . I did end up liking the dish my boyfriend got more than mine ( kung pow chicken ) . I try to stick with veggies and tofu ( usually these dishes are well seasoned ). This one missed the mark for me and was served cold . Inside was a good amount of people . They also have a back room for events , a well lit up small bar , and a wine cellar . There is an once cream shop in the same shopping center and plenty of parking :) The servers were all sweet , but I won't be back due to lack of flavor in the veggie dish and quality of the food .

We came here on Christmas Day and it was one of the few Chinese restaurants that was open and allowed dine-in. The wait wasn't that long considering they were packed, which was a great sign food was good. Inside of the restaurant was spacious and appeared clean. Once we sat down we were greeted by our waiter and ordered beef & brocolli, veggie dish, and orange peel chicken with a side of white rice. Everything came out fairly quickly and tasted pretty good! The staff boxed everything up for us after we finished. I'm impressed with the service and surprised there were some negative reviews on here. I would suggest checking them out in person!

The staff is friendly and the food amazing. The host at the front desknis a breath of fresh air. Ask for Joe, this guy will have you crying laughing. George is a great guy and is a wealth of knowledge.

I wish I would've read the comment about the egg foo young before I ordered. I looked at a pic of it but it was missing the fact that you had to pile what should have been on the inside ( meat and veggies) on top. The puffy thing I saw in the pic is more like a dumpling that can top chicken stew or something like it. Not a soft pillowy mixture. I'm amazed at how many Chinese restaurants use this abomination of piling things on top. Also had crispy spicy calamari. For not actually using rings and legs it was pretty good. Not really spicy though.

I visited George Yang's for lunch and had a mixed experience. The crispy taro appetizer was our favorite dish delicious. We also tried the house special fish, but it wasn't a favorite as the sauce was too sweet. The Yang's chicken was another dish we'd skip next time. On a positive note, the mushroom bok choy was delicious. However, the service was a bit rushed, with our waiter seeming in a huge hurry to get us through. Overall, it's a nice place, but I'm not sure if I'll come back.

Hard to tell about the quality of the food here. It arrived from their delivery service all mixed together. Did they leave out the egg roll and crab puff? No, they're under the noodles. They're not crunchy anymore. The delivery man was holding the container tipped on its side and most of the sauce was in the bottom of the bag. I brought it to his attention and he just shrugged his shoulders. Could care less. A sticky mess!! Maybe they should use higher quality containers? This is the cheapest foam box you can buy. Doesn't seem in line with the prices and truffle dishes? This is my first time ordering from here and I'm under a mile from them. May be the only time.

Wow! I will start off by stating that I used Uber Eats to order. Yet...that does not excuse a place of business from assuring that stated place of business delivers the correct orders. My sister and I ordered 2 meals, crab puffs, etc. The biggest issue I have is that the order arrived with NO rice. When I called to ask for assistance, they informed me that there was nothing to be done as it was a "third party order." Third party or direct delivery should not matter...quality of service should. I could not receive a delivery of what was missing, nor could they offer me a refund. This was our first order from this establishment and I can assure you, I shall never order, nor dine here, again. Ps. The picture is my plate, sans rice. ((Sigh))

Ive been wanting to try this place for a while. I was hesitant but went ahead and spent 50 on some food and I'm not usually a complainer but I was not impressed. The chicken was chewy and over cooked and I noticed myself but when my 9 year old mentioned it I knew it wasn't just me. the chow main was not fresh and it was soggy very little taste to it. I wouldn't recommend. I'd spend my money els where. I have had amazing Chinese food and this is not it.

Love it here. The food is always top notch. Eat the spicy pork and the peppercorn filet. The service is fantastic and the whole place is comfortable and inviting. Go eat here. It's amazing

Great service and excellent Chinese food with a large menu to choose from. Our group had Moo Shoo, Pad Thai, and Otange Chicken. Egg rolls for appetizers. All were delicious.

We went here because we had eaten take-out during Covid and we wanted to experience the actual restaurant. I like the bar area with its ever-changing back lighting. We were seated along the wall at a table with a bench seat and chairs. The menu is fairly standard for a Chinese restaurant. Prices are around $15.00 per dish (December 2023). Drinks are reasonable. The food is okay. The General Yang's chicken was flavorful but could have been spicier. The house chow mein has a smoky flavor which may or may not appeal to you. Parking is usually fairly easy as the parking lot is quite large.

Becky our waitress was the sweetest! It's rare to experience service like hers now a days. Food was amazing! The house chicken is not what I was expecting, but in a good way. It was tempura fried with a sou sauce like glaze. Beef chow fun was super flavorful as well, not like I have had before. We always do a family style meal so our family can share everything and everyone was very happy with the plates.

I can't believe I haven't left my Yelp for George Yangs yet. I've been many times. Every time I can count on the dish being absolutely delicious. My favorites are house fried rice, sweet and sour chicken. And the new york egg rolls which have peanut butter in them. My husband wasn't to sure about that but he tried mine and now also wants one with every order!

Best Chinese food in town!! Their Mongolian Beef is to die for. Place is always busy but it's worth the wait.

We were excited to try a new place since moving to the neighborhood. Unfortunately the food was not exceptional. Very average and over priced. Not to be rude, but the Asian place on Bethany and 19th ave - the bamboo kitchen is much better for both recipe, taste and quality of meat. The egg rolls are much better as well. We will drive there next time.

This establishment and food is so delicious. The food is always made to perfection and fresh. I love that they have lunch special 7 days a week. The restaurant is nice and cool inside , a little on inside dark side which I enjoy! Great staff!

I am really skeptical of trying new Chinese spots because one bad episode and I won't eat Chinese food for months. Due to the great reviews, I stopped at this spot for lunch. I opted for the Sweet & Sour chicken lunch combo which came with a crab puff, vegetable roll, lo mein and rice. It was nice portion size and I ended up finishing some for dinner. While I enjoyed it all, I felt the noodles were lacking in flavor. They weren't horrible but something was missing for me. The lady at the front area was friendly and courteous. Funny thing is I've always passed this spot but never went in until today and it's not far from where I live. I would recommend this spot and definitely will be back.

Was invited to have lunch here. This would be a place I would come to again and probably will. Just too far away from Peoria. I had the basil chicken and my wife had the orange chicken. Both meals were very good and there was plenty left for a meal to take home. It did take some time before were able to make our order. Some of that was our fault as we were talking to our friends. Then he kinda vanished for about 10 minuets. Inside was decorated much in the way many asian restaurants are. Kinda dark. Yes I will come here again if there is a reason to be on this side of town.

After reading reviews and seeing this place on a best of Phoenix list I can only come to one simple conclusion. Those that give this place over 4 stars have a muted palette. I've had worse but I've never eaten any so flavorless. My best description is that their primary seasoning is water. The fried rice was pale and flavorless and had barely a scant of ingredients. I had to pull out wok and fry it up with xtra egg, scallions and frozen peas and a much needed dash of premium dark soy to make it enjoyable. The chicken lo mein looked vibrant with chicken and vegetables but yet again, flavorless. I have lived in Phoenix for 30 years and I love AZ but certain things like an abundance of good bbq joints and good Chinese food are something sorely missing. Even with that said I can think of 3 or 4 places in neighborhood with better fried rice. And none of them are very good which makes this even more sad.

A neighborhood spot for me. I always get to go, sometimes sit at the bar and put my order in. The food is consistently good. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and feel and the parking is easy. Service that I have experienced is welcoming and pleasant. The menu is very diverse and pricing is about par for similar spots of this caliber.

The service was good, but the food was all right not the best. Tried this place because we were craving Chinese and we were in the neighborhood.

One of our go to for Chinese food in Central Phoenix. Minoa's chicken is a must. Also, egg foo young is top notch. Only thing not liked so far was the kung pao. Otherwise, menu is full of gems

It is hard to find good Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood. To start this place was very clean, including the bathrooms. As for the food, it was very good- we had the wonton soup, bbq pork app, egg foo young, and orange chicken. My dad wished there was bean sprouts in the egg foo young, but otherwise enjoyed it. Service was good too, we will be back!

Showed up during the lunch rush but were seated fairly quickly. The service was great and the food was fresh, cooked to order, and tasted amazing.

Solid takeout. Nothing to write home about but hearty serving both chicken and rice. Doordashed as it's much further away from me than I was willing to drive. Would have takeout again if I was staying in the area.

My family and I enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner at George Yang's. My first time there, they offered a limited holiday menu, and we shared 3 classic Chinese dishes, chicken and vegetables, black pepper beef, and house special fried rice. Service was a little hurried but friendly, and the food was delicious. So if you're looking for somewhere to eat Christmas Eve and nothing is open, remember there's always Chinese food, and why not try George Yang's for that holiday meal.

First Chinese takeout we've had in a while and it did not disappoint! I could give it a 5 for the portion sizes and freshness alone. The mushroom chicken and the chow mein were great. Totally looking forward to coming back and trying more menu items.

I was recommended to visit George Yang by a friend, and it exceeded my expectations. Our first visit was in the evening, and despite the line, we were seated fairly quickly. It was definitely worth the wait. The food and service are impressively fast, which I appreciated. The interior is beautifully decorated and has a modern vibe. This has become our go-to spot for Chinese food.

I can definitely say that this is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the Phoenix area! I have been in the Phoenix area for awhile, and I will never have any Chinese food outside of George Yangs. Their food is amazing! My parents have been coming here for years and I can see why now. We ordered all our favorites on this day of celebration for Mother's Day. - The shrimp in black bean sauce is great and balanced well with vegetables. The sauce makes that dish perfect. - The shrimp honey glazed walnut is fantastic! If you looking for a lightly fried to perfection, creamy texture, with a hint of honey, topped with walnut......make sure you get that! - The House Special Fish is one of the most surprising dishes that quickly became a family favorite. At first I thought this was Orange chicken but to my astonishment, it was a delicious fish!!! - The crispy dried sautéed taro fries are out of this world!! We ordered 3 orders of these. No lie. Ask Vicky. She knows my family so much that they already know what we order lol. These taro fries are so light yet crispy and addictive for sure. That's why we ordered 3. Eek lol - The truffle fried rice is a game changer. I mean why not. Truffle has been used for fine dining, why not use it on fried rice?! Man that dish is scrumptious and tasty with each bite you take. And it's not overpowering with truffle flavor either. It is so well balanced and delicious with some class. - (Not pictured) The wings with the house sauce on the Appetizer menu is so fire as well!!! The skin on the wings are crispy but lite in density. The house sauce just sends the chicken wing over the top! All in all, this establishment is a great place to eat on an occasion or on a regular day of the week. The service this establishment provides is astounding. It doesn't matter what waiter/waitress you have, they will always take care of you. They are always tentatively to have your area cleaned of plates that are emptied or refill your beverage. They have lunch portions if you don't want to order from the dinner menu. This establishment is definitely the best Chinese spot in Phoenix, in my opinion. The only downfall I will say is, that I think they need a curtain or door to block hallway to the bathroom. We weren't sitting next to the door but close enough that we can smell urine. One of the waiters immediately brought a candle out to try and mask the smell, and it made it better and he apologized for the issue as it was already being addressed. But for appearance and smell, a door needs to be in place. Nothing negative just a concern to the customers that come to the establishment to dine next to the bathroom hallway. Order your food to go and enjoy it at home or come in and enjoy the ambience, your experience will be amazed.

The staff was nice. The food was very bland I asked for the chili sauce and it was bland and didn't taste like any chili sauce I had ever eaten, it was more oil with chili pepper seeds and no spice. I don't even like real spicy and it wasn't remotely spicy at all. Two of us ate the shrimp and noodles and one ordered orange chicken. My friend liked the orange chicken. They give large portions. Two of us ended up with upset stomachs

Best food i've had in Arizona! Amazing service too. Vibe was great. The flavors danced perfectly, and the presentation was stunning. Highly recommend!

We had never dined inside this restaurant, but stopped in for lunch today and it's really pretty. I'll bet this is a really nice place for a dinner with a romantic ambience. The lighting around the wine storage is really beautiful as well as the darker calm lighting. The place deserves a five for the ambience and the service and I would also add the portion size. We came in for lunch and paid a very reasonable $11.99 for the Kung Pao lunch special, which also included egg drop soup, a small eggroll, a crab Rangoon, plus both noodles and rice along with the combo. My husband's only disappointment was that the compound was not spicy at all, even though it is marked so on the menu. I was craving teriyaki chicken, but I did not want all the additional add-ons that comes with the lunch special, so I opted instead for the pad Thai. It came with chicken, shrimp and tofu, and was a huge dish as you can see from my picture. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it just tasted 'off' and a bit chemical. Just not a fan of this recipe. We couldn't have asked for a better service. The moment I set my spoon down, eating my soup, there was someone right there to take it away and bring the next plate, refill our drinks, bring our check, etc. They are very well staffed, and it shows Total bill, two meals and two iced teas was about $33.

Been here several times now, most recently on New Year's Eve, and the food is consistently good! They had a shorter holiday menu for some reason, maybe it was to keep up with demand as they stay busy around this time of year. The service is fast, some of the waitresses have a bit more personality than others. They seem to try and rush people out before they are done, which is why I didn't give a full 5 stars. It can be a lively place or a chill place, just depending on the time you go. We usually end up there for dinner so it's a bit more loud around then. Plates are around $20 each while drinks are roughly $10-12. Portions are generous, I recommend going with a few people so everyone can share and try a variety of items. I'm sure we will be back before too long, food is great, just don't like the feeling rushed part.

Best Chinese food in Phoenix. We've lived here in Arizona for a year now and have tried every Chinese restaurant from Tonopah to Phoenix and this is the best we've found. It really is excellent. Had the Peking duck around the holidays (order it the day before) and it was epic. Fatty, juicy, fresh duck and it comes to your table in 3 ways. One is in a mu-shu type wrap with a sweet plum sauce. It was to die for. The other is roasted in a tasty, slightly sweet and slightly piquant sauce. It was tender and mild and delectable with a flavor that just warmed your tastebuds. It was amazing. The citrus crispy chicken is one of the best dishes here. Just phenomenal. Huge hunks of super tender white meat chicken, wrapped in a light and very crispy coating and then drizzled with a zesty and sweet lemon-orange-honey sauce, with garlic and green onions. Wow! The fried rices are perfect examples of this American-Chinese hybrid dish. No burnt flavor. It's light and fluffy and slightly greasy, with a perfect proportion of diced veggies and flavorful pork (or whatever protein you like). I'm currently making my way down the "House Specialties" section of the menu, and it has been amazing. You can't go wrong here. I will say the orange chicken is just ok. It didn't blow me away like some of the other things. Same with the sweet and sour pork. Oh, and be sure to blow your mind with the pork and string beans. Sounds weird hit is delicious. So much to eat here... Last thing is the service. Now, Chinese restaurants often have cranky servers and mean floor managers. Everybody's yelling. But not here. In particular, Becky is the best server around. Attentive, fast, candid, funny, and warm. In my opinion, she makes the place. So try George Yangs. It is a Phoenix institution for a reason. Prices are "Bidenomics-reasonable" meaning even though everything now costs an arm and a leg, they are somewhere in the low to middle range. Nice atmosphere, dark, Chinese-restauranty, excellent food...what's not to love.

Nothing special, Maybe foreigners think it's okay. Once time enough for me Try to made some special dish's

The last two times I have came to eat here, has been some of the rudest customer service I have seen. I decided to give them another chance as everyone has their bad days. But this time we came an hour and a half before closing per their online hours. The server came and asked us if we were ready, not even a minute with us getting seated. Then when he noticed we were taken aback, he said the kitchen is closing since they are washing it so we had five minutes to order. As we were still eating, the waitress came and asked rudely, "are you done?" We were so rushed we decided to just take the remainder to go. As one of our family members went to the bathroom, the waitress came and took it upon herself to put her food in a to go box. We ended up leaving before 8:30. Additionally, we ordered the egg drop soup and it had no flavor. And at one point a waiter came to refill my husband's water and was so careless that the water spilled into my soup and he didn't even acknowledge it or apologize.

Love this place, great food but the best bartender. Ask Joe for a mai Tai, you will not regret it.

My go-to chinese food. George's vegetable pocket is my favorite thing to order. The food is bright, fresh and never greasy. Delicious!

I have only ever ordered takeout and so cannot speak to the atmosphere and service. However, we've very satisfied repeat customers. I'm incredibly picky about Chinese food and would rather spend more for fresh, quality dishes than less for mediocre. Each of the following has been ordered many times and never disappoints: steamed pot stickers, seafood pocket, Hong Kong-style wonton soup w/spinach and pork, curry fried rice, mapo tofu, and Singapore noodles (ordered spicy). In fact, we like GY's so much that we ordered it for last Christmas's dinner. I gave myself the gift of not cooking that day.

George Yang's is an upscale American Chinese Restaurant. They offer a luxurious atmosphere and an extensive wine list. They offer your usual favorites and some dishes that you seldom find at other Chinese Restaurants like crispy taro, black truffle fried rice, filet mignon, and scallops with mushrooms and zucchini. We started with the crispy dried sautéed taro. Our server told us that they are Chinese French Fries but better than French Fries. They were interesting and different. They are similar to potato sticks but are tossed in Asian seasoned fried onions. It a very large portion too. We also shared the spicy fish and the black truffle fried rice. These are also very large portions. The black truffle fried rice has a nice aroma. It's made with a generous amount of some kind of ground truffle. Some of the rice is crispy for texture. The spicy fish was cooked to perfection but it should be named crispy fish because it was the crispiest fish that I have ever had anywhere. It came with broccoli and was in this black bean sauce that taste like it had soy sauce and was a little sweet like spicy duck sauce. For me it ran a little salty but I am extra sensitive to salt so it's probably good for most people. Service was extra professional like from a fine restaurant. If you are a fan of the George and Sons Restaurants then you should love this restaurant because this is a sister restaurant.

Save your time. The once humble new spot in the hood. Has now turned into a neighborhood embarrassment. No one cares about anything that works at George Yang's. Used to go there 1-3 times a week when it opened. Reminded myself tonight why I haven't missed them. Sushi michi is steps away and better food and service

My girlfriend and I dined here multiple times now and we'll keep coming back. The lunch special is inexpensive and a must! The sides that come with the meal are sufficient to having you feel stuffed! Every time we dine at GY it's a family friendly environment and very welcoming.

Mongolian beef super flavorful and the meat is quality. Orange chicken had big portions and good flavor. Delivery & food was still warm and fresh. Will continue to support this spot if quality and portions remain the same. rice was fresh too!

Not a fan. Ordered for my team & we were not feeling foodie vibes with our food. Ordered from the Lunch Special section. When our food arrived there was a handwritten note stating missing items was due to the type of order we placed...we were collectively confused. 2 out of 6 meals were incorrect, in which the restaurant couldn't do much since I orders via Uber Eats...so the manager stated. Perhaps a better experience dining in yet won't order via food delivery again.

Great Chinese food!! We had been wanting to try this place out for quite a while. Our server was the gentleman with the glasses last night around 6:30! He was very kind and attentive to us, even bringing our toddler a fortune cookie and little cherries to keep him occupied My husband ordered sake and I had a martini that was potent and really tasty. The food was really good!! We ordered a lot of food! We started with the New York egg rolls which were delicious! The bowls of soup are great portions and flavorful. We also ordered the chow mein, beef and broccoli and a chicken dish. The portions are really big and you will likely have leftovers, which is why we ordered so much lol The service was also really impeccable! I'm not sure if she was the owner or someone who worked there, but she was also very sweet with our son! The atmosphere is nice and clean. Great spot for dinner. We will definitely be back!
