Trey Yuen

I moved from Northern Virginia to Louisiana 4 years ago. I have been looking for a Chiense restaraunt with good food but had no luck. I saw Trey Yuen on the side of the road on Memorial Day on the way to the lake. I kept it in mind. For Father's Day my family and I finally went and I was blown away. It was truly a magical and extraordinary culinary experience. I have found my favorite restaurant of all time. The food was the best Chinese food I have ever eaten in my life. The General Tso's Chicken tasted authentic. Not like up north were it is made sweet. Everything was made from quality ingredients. All meats and vegetables were tender and just mouth watering goodness. My family and I sampled each others dishes and it all was just incredible. Everything about Trey Yuen was exceptional from the beautiful decor, to the atmosphere, to the top notch service. Before you leave make sure you also enjoy the outside of the restaurant as well. The grounds are just gorgeous with water features, koi fish and a beautiful waterfall. A true gem. If you want authentic Chiense cooking Trey Yuen is the place to go. All I can say is you have a customer for life!

It's a nice place to enjoy meals with family and friends.

Love the atmosphere & vibe of the place. Food was hot! Huge portions! First time coming here i didnt know what many things were..I'm childish I need a picture menu 😂 . We will definitely be returning. The fountain was gorgeous.

One of my favorite restaurants on the North Shore of Lake Pontchartrain. I've been coming here for 20+ years and it never disappoints. The restaurant, and the bathroom in particular, needs a renovation. The food today was good, not great. I had the soft shell crab special and my companion had the shrimp and eggplant special. Service was great.

Mai tai and steak kew was delicious but the sesame chicken was very tough and dry. Crab rangoons were hot and delicious but the egg rolls were cold. Wife and I have been going here for decades and this is not what we expected.

The grounds are beautiful, and the ambience is great! The service was excellent, and we didn’t have to wait long at all for our food, which was hot on arrival. The food was very good, but not quite exceptional. I will definitely give it another shot and try a different dish next time.

I can't believe I have lived in Metairie area my entire life and ate here for the first time last week! This place is amazing all around! We went on a Sunday night and there was a 25 minute wait and now I know why. Once seated, Mary our server greeted us. I told her that I had to follow a gluten free diet then she proceeded to point out numerous dishes that are GF and could be made GF (even though the menu had most things already marked GF). The eggdrop soup was my app, delicious. Vegetable fried rice, perfect! And curry chicken in a delicious sauce with veggies, wow! Mary gave me additional sauces that were all GF. The portions are large, so you can definitely split dishes with someone else. I highly recommend this restaurant! Can't wait to go again! Oh, and the atmosphere was dark, but not too dark and really interesting to look at!

Had a gift card to use. Picked up pork fried rice and bone in ribs (first time trying ribs here). Rice was okay. Disappointed with the ribs. They were chopped into 2 inch cubes and NOT tasty at all. Very greasy and not worth the price. I've had much better at my regular Chinese restaurant for half the price!

After reading the reviews here I have to say I am astonished. The chefs/owners take pride in their work and the quality of the food. Since 1988 we have always had great service and food. Even when we take out. Yes. Prices are high everywhere but hoping they stabilize. Please take a chance and give them a try if you haven't lately. It's worth the risk. I plan to be back soon.

There must be new management or a new chef Trey Yuen in Mandeville because the food is much better than it was the last time I was there which was over a year ago. The service was very good all in all I got four out of five stars this time.

We came for our 30th anniversary dinner and had a fabulous time. Most Chinese restaurants have become storefront, take-out places. Trey Yuen is what we call a "sit-down place" - you can actually sit down and eat like a real restaurant. Very nice, calm atmosphere. The koi pond outside, the decor inside, cloth tablecloths and napkins, heavy silverware, all are very nice. Made for a great experience overall. Our server Amir was friendly and answered all our questions. He was very efficient and took good care of us without hovering over us constantly. The owner/chef came by our table a couple of times to check on us. Also very friendly and welcoming. I was impressed beyond words with the pot stickers! I have had a million of them over the years and these really stand out. They are larger and stuffed fuller than I usually find. I complimented the chef when he came around and he said "Those are hand made. They don't come from Sam's."

Best Chinese on the north shore! From the ambiance, to the service, and the food. Everything was delicious.

This place has so many bugs. My mil actually was served a cockroach on her dish. There's no way I'd ever eat food from here ever again.

This place is very mid. the service was amazing but the food was very bland and unflavorful. The decor is beautiful and well designed. There was no wait and it's a very large building.

OMG! This might be the best Chinese food I have had outside of Hong Kong!!! And they also have their Asian / Cajun - Creole twists on a few local dishes. Well worth the toll across the lake to come over from NOLA while on vacation!!!!

I hate to do a bad review. It's a matter of taste. But this just was not for me. Beautiful decoration and restaurant. So if you are looking for an atmosphere, this would be the place. Awesome koi pond. The food was not terrible, just ok.

Trey Yuen always has delicious food. We like the black pepper beef and the general tso. You can get a side portion of noodles which are big enough to share. Egg rolls and dumplings for appetizers are a must! Portions are for sharing or be prepared for leftovers.

Went back recently and our dinner was delish! We ordered Tong cho soft shell crab and steak special.

Trey Yuen has been around for at least 30 years and has stood the test of time. I love to walk in the to traditional decor, relaxed but still upscale atmosphere, and friendly faces! It is a refuge on any week night and a place to celebrate any weekend as well! Last stopped in on a week night and spent a wonderfully relaxing evening with friends! The drinks were made to perfection - perfect Old Fashion! The lettuce wraps were beautiful and perfect! It is soft shell crab season and that was not to pass up! Everything was over the top perfect and Service Superior as Always!!

Came here for my son's birthday and everything was delicious! Haven't been in years, but nothing has changed. The owner is so pleasant and came and talked to my younger son for about 10 minutes and showed him pictures of people he met and movies he was in. Very cool!!!

Met for lunch. Lunch specials are large. You definitely get your money's worth. Had won ton soup. Delicious. Also ordered Mandarin Chicken. Very good. Wait staff was friendly and efficient. Tommy Wong was visiting tables. Nice touch.

The restaurant grounds are a total mess...overgrown w/weeds & the pond has green stagnant water. Nice ambiance inside & excellent service. I ordered Shrimp Kiew. Instead of Chinese vegetables, I got almost ALL chopped zucchini which is cheap & not an Asian vegetable. Entrees are in mid 20's range. NOT going back!

Over many years I've had Trey Yuen food many times because of friends and co-workers of my other half had to eat Trey Yuen Chinese food. I grew up in a city with a China Town and my grandfather had a manufacturing business there. So... I know good from average and down from there. Trey Yuen out of kindness (because where it's located) is average. The Golden Wok near Walmart is far superior to me and the people that run it are top notch. Since we only do take out, I insist on Golden Wok. Sorry Charlie, but this 3 star rating is out of kindness!

Trey Yuen Chinese restaurant is tucked away under the causeway approach. Great food and I highly recommend the place. We frequented the Hammond location for decades and really miss it being local to our home. The barbecue pork appetizer is excellent(it's not really bbq in a good way)and their lunch menu is my favorite anywhere. Especially when you figure in the value. We routinely drive an hour to eat here. I understand this family has many restaurants all over the Northshore but this one is special, was once a staple in Hammond and I hope it stays just as it is for many years to come. A+++

My mom and I came in Friday for lunch. This was my first time backorder Trey Yuen in at least 10 years. I informed the waitress I'm gluten intolerant, and there were several options to choose from. I opted for the steamed shrimp in lobster sauce (I was under the impression it was a white base and not brown). When they brought my food, there were wontons on top of the rice. I thought they were gluten free, and after one, the waitress came by to check on our food and told me not to eat it. Oops. (I paid for that mistake the following day.) There was also a spice or something in the brown sauce that didn't sit well with my mom or me. She had a brown-based dish as well, so we assume it was something in the sauce. All of that said, I'd still come back with a little more caution to my gluten issue (and I'd bring digestive enzymes). I'm happy to report their egg-flower (basically egg drop) soup is gluten free. The restaurant itself is beautiful with traditional decor and coy ponds. It's looked the same for at least 20 years.

Ordered a veggie dish and the only veggies were thinly sliced carrots, green bell pepper, and a few mushrooms. No baby corn, broccoli, red bell pepper, water chestnuts, etc. The veggies were sliced so thin it was messy to eat and not filling.

You know I'm giving 4 stars for the ambience. Probably a 3.5. Food can be good but not great. I always hope for better. But alas, it is mediocre. Fried rice is good and I do like their sauce. Mostly students working as servers. They could use a little more training in fine dining.

Came back for a visit to Trey Yuen, it was like visiting family. Food was outstanding as always. The Wor Wonton Soup is and always will be the best ever. I have been eating food prepared by the Wong family for 45 years and have never been disappointed.

The decor from the outside with the fish in the pond to the details om the inside puts you right in China. It was my first time, joined some friends who spoke highly of the restaurant. The food presentation was really good. The food was fresh and delicious. My husband had to send his Mongolian chicken back because it was rather salty but the general tso was good. First time trying pot suckers...i think that's the name of it The service was good, we had a short wait qhwn we got there but they kept us informed. The server was good also, a little timid, but she did a good job. The restroom was clean and they were actually cleaning it when I went in there. All in all they were good and food is good

Best Chinese food in the state! People are super nice. Reasonably priced. I have tried a lot of Chinese food as I love it but this place is great

Not what it used to be to be. Pretty bad actually! I remember the day when it was delicious. Not sure how it isn't that good anymore.

Went with a friend today. Very fancy interior. Really nice exterior as well: Statues, a waterfall, Koi Pond, etc. That was worth the trip. Didn't love the dish we ordered though. The name seems peaceful enough, Shrimp And Crawfish On A Cloud. Shrimp and crawfish (of course) over a bed of noodles with a Creamy sauce. Didn't expect a fried egg to be in the mix. GROSS. My friend said it was a traditional Chinese dish but I guess I'm not an egg fan. The smell was almost over powering when we lifted the cover. Don't judge on that though, my friend loved it. It was just my personal experience. The eggrolls that we got as an appetizer were amazing. If I lived in that area I would go back and try more from the menu. The servers were also top-notch. Very friendly and professional. One of the best Chinese places I've been to in a

Had lunch and it was as good as we remember. Great service too. Really enjoy this place. Will be back.

WENT DOWNHILL We have been dining with Trey Yuen for over 20 years. We visited on Mother's Day and 3 out of our 4 orders were very disappointing. The sauce on two (2) separate orders of Mandarin Chicken had a foul taste. The sauce seemed burnt. The shrimp on an order of shrimp and broccoli were spoiled. an order of fried shrimp was fine. we mentioned it to the waitress. We told her we were concerned others may be served these same items. She didn't seem to care. Her response was "sorry, we are very busy". They indeed were very busy. However, this was no excuse for 3 out of 4 bad tasting dishes.

Don't see what all the hype is about. It's over priced and the food is horrible. The staff was friendly though. It's way yo dark in there and just uncomfortable.

We went for lunch, the lunch specials are plentiful, lots of choices. The ingredients seemed fresh though the sauces were a bit too sweet for my taste. Service was quick and competent. One note - beware the mustard sauce served with the egg rolls. I love spicy food but this just about took my head off. Use very sparingly.

Food and Service awesome as usual. Best homemade egg rolls anywhere. Highly recommend!

I have tried a few dishes here, but my two favorites are the Special Steak and Combination Lo Mein. We also enjoy the Crab Rangoons. The other dishes I have tried were okay, but you can't go wrong with the Special Steak.

quality has greatly diminshed over the last several years. went there for lunch menu about 12:30 a few weeks ago. egg rolls were not fresh and neither was our entrees. has gotten really expensive.

We've been coming here for years, and the food is always amazing. Thank you for keeping up your stellar reputation..

Love this landmark restaurant for its incredible ambiance and delicious Chinese food that is constantly superb. We drive in from Mississippi to satisfy our craving. The staff is so friendly and efficient and Mr Tommy still makes the rounds to chat and make sure all is up to his standards.

Great food quick service, it's the three most important things.. CONSISTENT/ EFFICIENT/ GRRAT SERVICE

I've been to Trey Yuen twice. Once when I moved here a few years ago and recently for a work lunch. It's nice enough. First, can we talk about the decor? It's over the top. Like the interior designer was inspired by PF Chang's in the early 90s and decided to crank it up a few notches and make it full on Chinese-bougie-kitsch. The pond, stone work, and decor are all lovely; you can tell that someone put some thought into it. But, it's real extra. I loved the menu, with the signature sauces from Szechuan and Cantonese influences mixed with local Louisiana seafood offerings of alligator and crawfish. Like the decor, a lot of thought went into this menu. The execution of the dishes is where I'm going to ding them. I ordered the Szechuan beef with fried rice for lunch. The base flavors of the sauce were there, but it was too salty. The fried rice tasted previously frozen. Now, I get that fried rice is best made with leftover white rice from the night before or frozen rice to reduce the moisture content so the grains don't stick together when fried. But if you use the freezer method, you can't over-freeze the rice, which is what happened here. I also had the hot and sour soup. This was well done, with real bamboo shoots and a good amount of heat. It had just the right amount of vinegar so it wasn't overly sour. Service was excellent; our server was prompt, kind, and knew her menu. I wanted to love this place, but it fell a little short.

Terrible service & food. Having lived away from the area for over 20 years, I was very excited to return & see Trey Yuen was still in business & with 4 star reviews. However, I will not be back. The waitress was very slow & appeared to be very uninterested in her job. The egg rolls contained an unusual spice & they were room temperature & soggy. The crab rangoon was also room temperature & soggy. The sauce on the lemon chicken had a terrible odor & tasted foul, it was left uneaten. The white rice was hard & dry. The Tong Cho crawfish, had 2 visible crawfish tails & it too had a foul taste. It was a $70.00 lunch tab for food that was not enjoyed, barely eaten & questionable as to whether it was safe to eat.

I ordered lemon chicken to go, pick up line was surprisingly fast and staff was nice. Ended up paying 21 for the food, chicken was dry, BUT wouldve been okay if it actually had a decent amount of lemon sauce. They put barely any sauce. You wouldnt know it was lemon chicken. portion size was large, but for 21 id hope so. not sure if id cone back, i definitely wouldnt order lemon chicken again.

Great service and excellent food! Did Lazy Susan style and we were able to try a lot of different things. Very quality food and beautiful atmosphere.

Love everything I've ever gotten from here. Not one complaint! Service is fine dinning and from parking to sitting you feel engulfed in the culture

Went to lunch today. Too much sauces and tooooo salty. Why dinner and lunch so different? I think they don't cook by order at lunch but dinner is. Will not go there for lunch. Ordered bbq pork lo mein and softshell crab special -17 dollars, will not recommend.

I don't really like Chinese food from the fast food type places in the strip malls, the food looks fake and chemically, but it's really good here, expensive but worth it because it's fresh and cooked to perfection.

I had a wonderful meal there you got to try the Sweet&sour pork #9 on the menu its amazing. My friend had the that the egg fu young Combination plate. It is awesome three very filling hockey puck size cakes he said it was the best he's ever had and he travels to different countries to try amazing food so I know be knows what he's talking about

I was SO HOPEFUL....Very busy, beautiful restaurant, but I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in the food. I purchased (To-Go) Boneless Fried chicken, combination fried rice, (2) orders of egg rolls and crab Rangoons, total $63.00, paid $70. The staff was punctual, came out to the car immediately, collected $$, and promptly brought food. ABSOLUTELY the WORST attempt at Boneless fried chicken, looked like cut up chicken nuggets and the vegetables had such a burnt tasting brown gravy that they were not edible. Egg rolls were OK, but definitely NOT a good egg roll. Crab Rangoon was also simply OK. Really sweet staff, prompt service & pretty place....SO SAD the food is SO POOR QUALITY.

Always great. Trey Yuen is the best Chinese on the Northshore. Everything is great. The waitstaff clearly love the owners and are happy to be there. If anything isn't on the menu, they'll do their best to make it for you. Covid changes seem very smart and we love visiting every time. There's an impressive interior and beautiful landscaping that makes it a mini. Vacation for family night. Very great restaurant with well deserved success.

Not very impressed. The egg rolls were 100% freezer burnt. I just read another review before posting mine that also said their egg rolls were freezer burnt. It's super overpriced in my opinion. It cost $54 for two people to eat. You only get 2 egg rolls with the appetizer and they cost a whole $6......!!!! $17 just for a plate of Chinese chicken.... I can name 10 other places that I could go pay $17 for a meal that comes with rice/noodles and probably at least 2 entrees.

We finally decided to try this place, we were very disappointed. First appearance was very cluddiered and dirty. We sat at our table 15 min and Noone came to serve us. NOONE. So we left, told the hostess she was speakless as she was talking to other staff. They were not busy, it was around 2 on a Sunday.

Excellent still great after 20 years! The obieonyce and food is exceptionally delicious. Great for celebrations or just a late dinner date!

W My granddaughter and I met there for lunch. Our waitress was so sweet and helpful. My granddaughter needs to eat gluten free and she helped her make a choice. The portions were huge and delicious. I will definitely come back!

The only good thing I can say is that the server was so kind and sweet. The food was disappointing. I ordered the Honey Pecan Chicken and there was no sauce and they left off the pecans. Egg rolls were empty and the wonton soup was only noodles no soup. The owners are very nice but the food was once so unique and delicious and now we're more inclined to order from the Red Apple! Hoping the Wong Brothers can get their mojo back but the night we were there the cooks were young and inexperienced.
