The restaurant is decorated inside. Food was decent 3 star. The server was nice since we were the only ones there for the entire time. Hard-working people .

We ordered Dinner for two, our soup was delicious, followed with pot stickers then our fried rice, house chicken and Mongolian Beef. Food was plenty, fresh, very well seasoned, very pleasant meal. Enough for take home and we enjoyed the next day. Pleasant lil place, and now my favorite spot.

First time here. The place is nice and food was good. Not the best we have had but good. We ordered the family meal for three and it came with sizzling rice soup, pot stickers,steamed rice, Mongolian beef, house chicken and prawns.we also ordered a side of pork chow mein. The soup was great with lots of different textures (mushrooms, shrimp, chicken, veggies, water chestnuts).The Mongolian beef and house chicken were really good! Crispy, bit spicy and good flavor. The prawns one of us liked but the rest of us didn't care for it...too much sauce for our taste. The chow mein was ok, simple. Pot stickers were good, not great. The service was average. The place was getting a bit hot and there was no air conditioning. Overall it was good we might come back again, if our go to spot is closed like today. We would give it a 3.5 overall. Total price was over $70 not including tip.

For the price this place is really skimping out on the servings. For each piece of meat I got maybe five raw onions chunks alongside it. They weren’t small one bite chunks either. I ordered the curry chicken, not a bowl of chopped raw onions. If I wanted that I’d just go to a grocery store, buy a couple onions and sprinkle curry powder and hot water on them. This is literally all onions.

Great service, fresh ingredients, we ordered the Dinner B. I enjoyed every dish! Thank

I got the lunch special #5, hot braised pork with vegetables and special hot sauce. The meal came with rice, two fried wonton skins, and a bowl of soup (in my case, it was hot and sour soup). The hot and sour soup was delicious and well-balanced in terms of spice and acidity with a nice ratio of ingredients. The braised pork was steamy and flavorful. The pork itself was a bit chewy, but not too bothersome. The crispy friend wonton skins are a nice addition. I do wish the rice portion was a bit bigger, it's around a handful. The staff were friendly and answered my question when I asked them what they'd recommend. However, they seemed a bit impatient. Overall, my experience was good, the food was great, and I'd return.

I absolutely love ordering from here! One time they accidentally gave me the wrong order but I didn't mind. I've been getting the same Shrimp w/ lobster sauce and fried rice. It's always so good and taste fresh. 100% recommended since the food is always fresh, portions are big, the staff are extremely nice and even know my order and name without me even having to say anything 😊

Wonderfully authentic decor and color scheme, clean seating and tables, quiet, authentic music, good lighting - all before you get your food. Sweet and sour pork is perfectly seasoned. The mongolian beef wasn't spicy as advertised, but good flavor. My wife enjoyed her chicken chow mein. All freshly made entrees. Prices equitable to other restaurants. Good service. Highly recommended.

Service is mid at best. Hardly check on you and the wait in an empty restaurant was crazy our food took forever and we only ordered three things. The food was also not great it was just okay in my opinion. The garlic fried chicken lacked flavor. The chow mein was salty and the sweet and sour pork was way too sweet and very chewy. If I'm craving yen Ching style food I'm driving to Lodi they are way better

Good food chow mein and sweet and sour pork and overall good experience was clean and nice however the staff who doesn't really speak English was really rude to a senior customer with an air tank. He said sternly "busy no no" she and her husband just barely walked in and he said it again and dismissed them. They said I guess we're not welcome here. It was so sad. No sorry, or anything shooed them away. I understand it's a busy holiday but the other staff could've interjected and assisted because they spoke English just fine. Poor service there.

This is my Go-To-Chinese restaurant in Stockton. I typically don't care for restaurants in the Valley. One, because I'm a Bay Area girl. Two, because there aren't really any good restaurants. But when I'm craving Chinese, New Yen Ching hits the spot. The owner is always kind. And whether I order to go or come in for a family meal, the food is ALWAYS FRESH!!! I'll never go anywhere else in Stockton. New Yen Ching is the BEST!!!

We stopped in for the lunch special for our first time today and WOW I wish we tried them sooner! Hot and sour soup had so much flavor and i don't usually enjoy it but they had such depth, it was delicious! I ordered the house chicken lunch special and my wife ordered the twice cooked pork! Both of them were SO delicious. The meat was tender, veggies still had a crunch and both sauces were flavorful and stood on their own! I honestly can't wait to try something else! The service is fast and she is so sweet and the restaurant itself is very clean!

My family and I order from here at least twice a month! The food is delicious and always fresh! Our go to's are chow mein, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, orange chicken, Mongolian beef. Whenever we eat inside the service is always great and well attended. The food always comes out hot and they are always checking if you need anything. The restaurant isn't huge but it's decorated nicely and they have tables for larger parties. The prices are amazing and something you can't beat! I recommend the lunch menu great value!

My bf and I go here at least once a month. It's always hot and delicious. I don't think I've had anything bad here. My only complaint is table cloths have stains on some tables and bathroom could use a major upgrade. But this is def one of my favorite Chinese food spot in Stockton.

I brought shrimp fried rice for $15. I only 6 shrimps in my fried rice. It was a order of shrimp fried rice. The rice is very dry and I asked for fried and look like just plain white rice.

BEWARE THEY CLOSE AT 7pm YOU WILL BE TURNED AWAY IF YOU TRY TO ORDER OR TRY TO BE SEATED. We forget why we don't go here and then quickly are reminded why we don't give this place our business. Foods decent but you better show up at 4pm or 5pm. We have seen many families be turned away at 7:15pm, 7:25pm and so forth. TO THE OWNER: We completely understand wanting to get home, so all we ask is you follow YOUR ADVERTISED HOURS. Of course there is the chance you do change your closing hours and still follow your bad business practice. Orders should still be taken until 8pm and 7:30pm is still your regular OPEN business hour. We really wanted to like this place, but we'll pass.

Had a family lunch of 11and the service was super quick and the server attended to our needs. The ambience was really nice. Didn't have to wait at all to get seated. The food was really good would highly recommend the deep fried asparagus, The fried chicken would definitely go back and try the Duck since they didn't have it.

The food was AMAZING! I'm disappointed in myself for not knowing this sooner. I frequent this shopping area at least once a week. I've seen this place but never thought to go in. Well I'm glad I did. I got three lunch plates to go, the Mongolian beef, house chicken and kung pao chicken. Everything was delicious the beef was super tender and well seasoned, the house chicken was crunchy and lightly sauced to the point where it wasn't over bearing and drowning the meat. It was perfect! The kung pao chicken was tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned. I've definitely found my new go to spot. It was reasonably portioned and the quality was spot on for me. I usually go to Yen Du but this is closer to me and better.

I had been wanting to try this place for some time now and today I finally did. The food was very good, I can't wait to come back. Next time I'll be sure to get pictures of the dishes. Recommended: Sizzling Rice Soup House Chicken and the potstickers, all tasted fresh and delicious. The ambiance is nice and serene pair that with some good food and it makes for a perfect low-key date.

You will always get the most delicious meal here. Where you take out or dine inside. You will not be disappointed. The sweet and sour pork is lean & tender. Perfectly made. Mongolian beef is tender, perfectly spicy flavor so delicious. The veggies are always cooked wonderfully. You better go here if you want some really GREAT FOOD. You're welcome.

Customer service is great! I've been going for yrs and they always remember to ask about my co workers and family! The food is simple amazing. It's definitely great food, especially the house chicken (hot braised). The better deals are lunch deals with great sized plates.

We came here for my birthday celebration with my dad and my sister and my husband and son. My 13-year-old doesn't really eat a variety of food but he tried the house chicken and he liked it a lot! So the next time we go he can have his own lunch. The garlic boneless garlic chicken is awesome! We had leftovers to take home. Always a good choice! We've been coming here for years. Always hot and fresh and great service.

The food is descent. When I ordered the restaurant was out of RICE, imagine that. I settled for chow mein. I spent $30 on this order to go. You decide if it's worth it...

I hadn't been here for a minute and tonight I was reminded why...I'm bummed to say it but I've been disappointed on my last couple of visits. I ordered takeout for dinner-house chicken, steamed rice and pot stickers. The pot stickers were great and easily the best part of the meal. However, the steamed rice and house chicken were unimpressive. I know, how can you screw up steamed rice, right? But it wasn't even warm and didn't seem fresh. The house chicken also didn't seem fresh but rather like it had been sitting for awhile, was kind of dry and it just didn't taste the same as it has in the past. It's not as though they were busy either because it was almost empty when we ordered our food. Service was friendly enough but their food just doesn't do it for me anymore. Suggestions anyone???

I could come up with a really good story about my experience at this restaurant. I could talk about all the shoppers or the car that was illegally parked in a handicap parking spot. We even got to watch the police ticket the vehicle. However, no creative writing can do justice to this fine establishment. I have eaten Mongolian beef at every Chinese restaurant I've ever been at in my life. This restaurant has some of the best Mongolian beef I've ever eaten. We also had Mushu chicken, if I spelled it right. It looks like chicken and vegetables and scrambled eggs inside of a pancake. I've never had it before. It was so good. We also had potstickers and wonton soup. Everything was perfect. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated with a great Asian ambience. The waiter was friendly and accommodating and extremely professional. He even took the time to chat with us a little bit about life in Stockton. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want great Chinese food. I have eaten here over the years many times. I am never disappointed with either the food, the ambience or the staff. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. By the way, the prices are extremely reasonable. And they have takeout. What more could you want?

I've eaten here many times and always have been happy with their food. My favorite is the Prawns ala Yen Ching. Served with rice and soup for a weekday lunch is perfect.

I don't frequent this spot, not because I don't like them but bc my loyalties are with Yen Du (or Sherman's for my cheap go-to Chinese food). Came here with my mom to come try it again after it had been years since I had been. They renovated the place with new floors and I believe new deco which was all nice and clean. Food: Beef broccoli - good meat and pretty tasty. Broccoli wasn't soggy which I appreciate. Chow Marin - quality ingredients there but lacking in flavor. Kind of bland to me. House chicken - would definitely come back for it. Nice chunks of chicken. Yes, there were small pieces but not tons. Flavor? Real good. I told my mom I think I liked it better than Yen Du and she said she was thinking the same thing. Sorry Yen Du but I gotta be honest! I may not frequent this restaurant but I would order the house chicken with just white rice if I'm in the mood bc I did enjoy it that much.

I've been frequenting this restaurant for at least 15 years maybe 20. My favorite has always been their Mongolian beef. Recently I placed a large order of the Mongolian Beef. 4 large to be exact. As soon as we got home we instantly smelled the beef was sour. I immediately called the restaurant but I guess they closed early. I called back the next day then two more times with no call back. Finally I reached them today and a man named Mike told me that he heard about the situation. But never called me back? He asked me if I'd accept a credit instead of a refund and I said fine. Whatever at this point. But honestly after being served rotten meat I won't eat here again. I often cook and I know the smell of fresh meat and I also know when meat goes sour. They definitely served us old meat. Instead of apologizing he continued telling me that he wanted to inspect the 5 day old meat now that I've been holding onto. I said, " you want me to bring this in? It stinks bad? ". He said yes. I couldn't stomach riding with that stench in my new car so I'm cutting my loses and leaving this honest review of terrible customer service and I'm very sure some health code violations. Eat here at your own risk. PreCovid they were a very nice establishment. It has not been the same since. Customer health and satisfaction is clearly not number one to this business. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars at this restaurant and have taken uncountable clients here. No more. There loss.

8/31 ordered chix fried rice (plain simple few pieces of meat). Kung pao chix (ok very few pcs of what looked like meat). The WORST was mu shu pork. Now the menu says made with eggs. But the whole thing was eggs, eggs, eggs. You need a microscope to find the other ingredients. If you like scrambled eggs this is for you. The meal was not good or enjoyable. Oh yeah, the plum sauce for the mu shu was watered down. Yes thinner than syrup used for pancakes. I am still disgusted as I write this. You've been warned. Never going back.

This place is pretty good. I do believe it might be the best Chinese food in town (to us). We usually dine in and the service is always quick. The inside is nice and it seems clean. Nothing too fancy about this place tho. But it is good food and we almost always enjoy dining here. We usually just get basic chow mein, fried rice and his sweet and sour chicken. The batter is a little too think for my own personal preference on the walnut prawns. My husband thinks it's a little hit and miss but you should just try for yourself. I originally had 4 stars but with his comment, I defer to 3, cuz he's right (but shhhh, don't tell him I said that).

The only reason I'm giving this place a 2 is because their wings were perfect and crunchy but is lacked flavor! There wasn't even salt on these wings. We ordered pork fried rice and pork chow-mane with spicy pork, non of it but had flavor. Everything tasted boiled and bland. The pork was super soft and spongy and the pork on the rice looked like boiled chicken. Never coming here again.

There should be a way to tip the cook! Because the cook in the back, that you don't even see, deserves a lot of credit for he did a wonderful job making the food taste like Chinese food. And you didn't even have to wait very long for it to be prepared that's amazing! If you want Chinese food that tastes like Chinese food then you need to visit New Yen Ching! My wife and I went there after attending church @10:00 am Calvary Chapel of Stockton for lunch and had a wonderful time eating fabulous tasting Chinese food. There was only one waiter doing all the serving, cashiering and to go orders and removing the dirty dishes and cleaning the tables but he did an excellent job very hard worker! My wife and I went on a Sunday afternoon in September 2022

Arrived hungry but quickly disappointed. No chicken breast for dishes unless you order lemon chicken. I won't be coming back here unless the lemon chicken is outstanding. If they don't serve chicken breast I won't eat the dish. Yes I limit myself but this is my personal preference. Next knock soda in a can instead of fountain drink, which means no free refills. :( Sweet m sour soup was served hot and more sour than sweet, but good. Ordered Chinese chicken salad, lemon chicken, fried rice,chow mien and house chow fun. But sadly I won't be coming back here, the lemon chicken was not amazingly awesome enough to come back just for that. Service was good, fast and checked on us, quick with refills. The food; fried rice was tasty the chow mien was flavorful the chicken salad had a nice dressing but could have used some nuts and mandarin orange. Just no chicken breast for their meals

Get the house chicken - it's fantastic. Lovely people serving lovely food. It's good "Americanized" Chinese. Tonight we had the pot stickers, Mongolian beef, pork fried rice and the curry shrimp and each and every one was great. My friend ordered some additional house chicken to go and they offered to do the sauce on the side so it would travel better. Love it.

My favorite restaurant ever. My family and I have been going to New Yen Ching for over 10 years and we love it. The staff is so helpful and friendly and the cook is beyond talented. They have the BEST hot & sour soup i've ever had. the mongolian beef and hunan style lamb always hit the spot. i get takeout every time i'm in town. don't sleep on this hidden gem!

Unfortunately and sadly their head chef passed away a few months ago. We always loved their potstickers but the meat tastes just a little different than before. Also the fried rice was not the same. Service is still friendly and the food is still pretty good but we felt something was lacking and when we asked, was told there is a new chef on the job. Still good place to go for good portions for the price. Seating is comfortable and we still like the lunch specials.
