Pretty mid menu and not much food for $15. Debatable cleanliness (flies, sticky table), but good service, and its a vibe: its of traditional cheap Hong Kong/Canto decor and smell and food. But spread out in the big American space lol so to put it nicely, its a vibe lolThe wontons are also on the fatty tasting side, which is not my preference

Nice quiet place to have a good meal. Prices are reasonable, and they made chicken and garlic sauce exactly like I asked for it. Not everyone will do that!

I never leave reviews but my experience was borderline too comically awful not to leave one. I ordered food for two (potstickers, egg roles, and two entrees), and when checking out the person rushing me to take my order said $30.30. I’m a college student so that made perfect sense to me, but when I went to pay, the card reader displayed $60.60 and I was only allowed to see the itemized receipt after asking explicitly for it and wasn’t allowed to keep it. Anyway, I’m surprised but decide to order anyway. While I’m waiting, some poor old woman walks in and orders soup and egg roles, and upon being quoted $30 for the two items, apologizes and walks out because it’s simply way overpriced. Regardless of the price though, the food is pretty awful (my college town chinese for literally a quarter of the price is 10x better on all fronts). Both of us could taste some weird sour / bitterness in our entrees likely because they seemed to be the exact same barring the meat and a couple of peanuts despite being completely different dishes. TL;DR: food is super overpriced and altogether pretty bad. Their markup is the only way they’re still in business.

We enjoy their egg rolls and went for dinner. Everything except one dish tasted like it was reheated. Service was poor. Grumpy atmosphere. I will not return.

I went to get takeout food for lunch yesterday. It all started with the menu. No where on the menu does it say lunch special not offered on Sunday. I ordered the same item not in the lunch menu. My Take out menu order came to $56.06 for two cashew chickens, two broccoli beef and two steam rices. at first I was told to pay on pick up, then he requested I pay right now. When I paid I was not once given and itemized receipt. When I came to pick up my order he told me that everything was in the bag. Took it home opened it and found out I was missing a steamed rice. I drove all way back down there, just to find out they put both steamed rice is in the same box. They were not willing to compensate me for their poor communication. To go portions are ridiculously small! This restaurant has very poor management and poor quality for Chinese food. Never again will I order from this restaurant! I have had bad experiences with this restaurant in the past! I know this restaurant is a chain in the Bay Area so I dont know if Ill visit any of the other locations.

The waiter was rushing with her service despite it not being busy. She didnt write anything down and that made us uneasy. I dont know her name because she didnt introduce herself. The time of the check was ridiculous. She charged 4x for one order of steamed white rice. Her reason was because it was a large family and we were sure to share. My husband ordered for himself not the whole family they charge what they see fit and serve more than a typical one person serving without telling you or informing you. They reduced the 4x to 2x which was still outrageous but the service here is not good. They dont appreciate the customers and are rushing you as if they want you out. Very disappointing. The food was okay.

Best pot stickers in town.We searched for some time to find our new local Chinese when we moved to the peninsula - that was 6 years ago now, and were still regulars here.They will occasionally have an off night, but overall the food remains great.The staff are fantastic. As locals now, we walk in and they basically know our favorites - they also look after our kids really well - true family environment.Dont expect the decor to be five star - but then again, you come for the food, and not necessarily the ambiance.We love this place, and continue to frequent every week or so. Thoroughly recommend.

Warning!I was skeptical about getting food from this place, due to the mix reviews. However,I do not like to judge a book by the cover. So, I ordered pot stickers, chicken & broccoli, Seaweed soup and egg rolls, followed by sweet and sour chicken.1. Pot stickers (soggy) yet some what tasty inside.2. Chicken and Broccoli (bland and slimy chicken,broccoli okay).3. Seaweed soup. Color and decent looking. Taste...no flavor and way over cooked. So disappointing!since Im a soup lover.4.Egg rolls. Very oily, generous portion of cabbage inside. Too bad the smothers the flavor.5. Sweet and Sour chicken, should be renamed to extra extra soggy sauce chicken with extra sauce. Here is your friendly warning NOT to get food from this place. I should have taken heed. I wasted $45.00 and unknowingly put horrible food in my palate. Never again!

Fantastic and authentic Chinese cuisine. Best Potstickers In Town the sign says, and its true theyre great! Big fan of the wonton and hot&sour soups, and the Ginger Garlic Chicken is delectable!

Great food! But dont call in to order. Worst service ever! The woman who answered could not get my order correct. All she could you come in if I wanted to go in I would not call them. Then some guy took the phone and he could not understand.Food is good but the service is going to thrash!!Have to find someplace now. Horrendous service!!!

I am transferring this over from another review site where I used to be active..this is my own review.After having come here for years today was disappointing. They charged us for two drinks when we inquired the manager/owner lady rudely informed us this is This is a restaurant not a fast food place . The same woman goes over to another employee and we can hear her laughing and insulting us.Let me say I have worked in many restaurants, free refills are industry standard. This includes five star restaurants. I also happen to work with many a chef and the behavior we experienced today was atrocious.Needless to say we ended up throwing out our left overs, because if you have the guts to insult us and let us hear it, then how can I trust you not to do something rude to my food.Once upon a time this place used to be awesome, now its not, portions have shrunk and the taste has slowly gone down. Generally we like to support family type businesses but when you insult myself,my husband in front of my seven year old child you loose my business.

The food is ok but they are scammers. They will bring you the bill with the total to be paid only (Not per item). The bill has an extra line for adding tip but they already added a 15% tip to the total without telling you or specifying it on the bill to trick you to pay them double tip.

My favorite Chinese restaurant. They do special orders without a problem and are always very friendly. Including the other Yat Sing by the freeway, Ive been eating at Yat Sing for 28 years with no complaints. Oh, and the food rocks!

Was there last night with family. The lamb we had was tough and grisly. I ordered stir fry duck and it was mostly all bone with not even a mouth full of duck. The fried shrimp wasnt spectacular either. I live in Grand Forks North Dakota where the Chinese food is really poor, and I was hoping that Yat Sing would be much better than back home but I was extremely disappointed by what was served.

Delicious potstickers and hot and sour soup- pretty average Mongolian beef and snow peas, although I will note that the ingredients were nice and fresh. Overall, a great neighborhood spot
