Absolutely the best Chinese food! I come here weekly and am always pleased by the high quality and wonderful dishes. The staff is also the best. I thoroughly enjoy Yin Keng and highly recommend 👍💯.
Good Chinese restaurant. Orange chicken/chow mein were terrific!
I was so disappointed! Ordered the combination chow mein. There was little flavor, little protein, and few veggies, if any, and it was too greasy. The sweet and sour pork, was too sweet, and no sour or zip. Potstickers were thick dough and so so taste.The fried prawns were wonderful. I would have taken the food back but I live 1 and 1/2 hours away. I wont be returning after spending over $40.
We are under pandemic circumstances and that being said the food was delicious. My hot sour soup photo
Absolutely amazing food and incredible prices! A hidden treasure in Windsor, great for lunch, the lunch combo comes with a good amount of food for the price, and even leftovers depending on how hungry you are. Very quick service, very pleasant atmosphere, amazing restaurant.
This is a nice little hole-in-the-wall restaurant. You would not expect the atmosphere, when viewed from the outside. The food is very good, and I believe it is family-owned, and they are very nice. Prices are quite reasonable, as well. Highly recommended.
My SO and I were craving Asian and came to Yin Keng. I ordered Hot and Spicy Chicken, my SO got Mongolian Beef. We shared an order of pulled pork buns. I cant tell you how the Hot and Spicy chicken was because when I started to eat, I realized that I had gotten Beef. My SO got pork. Place was closed so we couldnt return the food. Nevertheless, everything tasted great but I would have preferred what I ordered. Pulled Pork Buns were mostly Bun.
Exceptional food! The egg rolls are perfectly crispy, the Mongolian chicken has just the right amount of spice and the lemon chicken is sweet and savory. Highly recommend.
Love this place, Ive been going for about 15 years. I almost always get the Honey Pecan Prawns on the lunch special. House fried rice is also very good and has good proportions of meat vegetables and rice. I always feel very welcomed by the staff every time I go.
I went with a friend shortly after Yinkeng reopened, and was deeply disappointed. The former Yinkeng was my gold standard for Chinese food; it not only had delicious food (my favorites were the broccoli beef, fried rice and crab dumplings), but it had a wonderful staff who provided professional and friendly service. They remembered you, were always happy to see you, and regularly checked in to make sure you had everything you needed, without it being too frequent to be annoying. Also the interior designing of the restaurant had given the atmosphere a warm and homey feeling while also presenting the beautiful cultural aspects of a Chinese restaurant. However this New Yinkeng not only had a sterile neutrality to its unappealing atmosphere, the food is disgusting. Panda Express has better and cheaper food in comparison, and friendlier staff. Not only that, but the service was terrible. There was none of the original staff or owners. I had to ask for more water and I never got it. The new servers didnt seem to know what they were doing and were unfriendly. Im never wasting my money there again, and Im deeply disappointed with the change.
Always fresh tasting! Delicious food for a great price! I love that it is not greasy like some Chinese food.
Id heard so many good things about this place but was disappointed. The salt and pepper chicken was excellent. The egg Foo young order was wrong (and came with egg shells). The duck didnt come with pancakes or veg and was leathery.
Ive been going here for a couple months since I moved to windsor. Its pricey, (in SR Id pay about $50-$55 for what I get for $70 here) but its really good. The won ton soup and honey walnut prawns are amazing, and the broccoli beef is hands down the best Ive ever had. My BF is a huge fried rice guy and he loves it here, we always get 2 orders. Would 5 star if they brought their prices down a bit. :( Whenever I need a treat and have the money though, this is my go-to place.
Since Yenking re-opened we have eaten in twice and had take out once. We found the eat-in experience fun and relaxing. Our favorite dish so far has been the walnut (or pecan?) honey prawns. The prawns are served on a bed of crisp green beans and there is also fresh pineapple chunks. Weve had that dish three times now. Weve also loved the pork buns and the hot and sour soup. So glad Yenking has reopened. It will continue to be our go-to place for Chinese food.
Great food at affordable price. Great service. It was quick.
I am very picky with my Chinese food however I have never been disappointed with Kinkeng Restaurant. I always order the Orange Chicken and I think it has to be the best I have tasted so far in San Diego since moving from San Francisco. The staff is very friendly and so is the owner who will come around and see how our meals are going from time to time.
Excellent Hot n Sour soup. It had shrimp and pork in it! This place saved us when we were starved from moving all day and were completely ignored at the Jaded Toad. We were so thankful to get superior service and great food!
Hot, good food! Crab wontons are delicious! They get you in and out during the lunch hour. Reasonably priced. Their Mongolian Beef is one of my favorites!
This is one of my favorite places to eat they know who we are because were regulars! Candy always greets you with a warmer welcome! Are fast and the food is great! Thank you very much me and Jeff!
We went there for lunch today, and I got the most expensive lunch special. For $9.75 I got hot and sour soup, crab ragoon, fried rice, chow mien and pecan prawns. Everything was phenomenal! The service was quick and attentive and the food arrived hot.
I am very disappointed! After reading the reviews I was expecting a delicious meal. Our wonton soup had only one wonton and the flavor was very bland. The Mongolian beef was awful! The potstickers were less then pleasing. The only thing I enjoyed from our dinner was the combination chow mien. We will not be returning.
This was one of my favorite resturants for over 20 years, tonight we went in and got the hot and sour soup and the chow mein. The core meeting was shipper msgy and made us sick not to mention that octet whelming burnt oil taste. I the soup. The soup i sear to god had pee in it and im needing to call the health board because of this. Beware this place is not the place it use to be.
We have been coming here for years and always loved the food. Recently the manager made a very inappropriate comment to my dad asking if he was there for chinese or chinese food, jokingly..but not funny. Unprofessional and inappropriate. Then we asked if we could have half chowmein and half fried rice on our lunch special. We have been ordering it this way for many years. He flat out would not give us half chowmein because there was noodles in the chow fun. I guess his opinion matters more than what the customer would like an insisted we would have to pay for an extra side if chow me in. Sorry to say we will not be driving to Windsor from Santa rosa to get our food anymore. Im disappointed.
Ive been ordering from this restaurant for about 10 years. The food is delicious, easily the best Chinese food available in Windsor, but its ridiculously over priced. Chinese food is usually expensive but this place is extra expensive. Just to give an idea, Its $30 for soup, fried rice and chow mein. If you can afford it, I definitely recommend Yinkeng. Save a few bucks and order it to-go instead of eating in the restaurant itself, the wait is never more than 15 or 20 mins max for pick up.
I love Yinkeng. Their crab dumplings, chicken chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, kung pao chicken, etc. etc. is all delicious. Ive been going there for probably 10 years and every time it is great. Its a little bit pricey ($20 per person if you order a few items) but their lunch and dinner specials for 2 are great. Certainly the best Chinese food in Windsor ;)
Weve gone to this restaurant when we were in the area for years, and the food is exceptionally good. The service is always excellent. We always leave happy.
The food was delicious! I ordered take out and they were quick. For sure will go here again!
Best lunch specials in town.
My first time going to Yinkeng I was in search of a good local chinese restaurant. Ive had poor luck finding one until now. I was soooooo happy by the end of my meal and I will return again! I tried the chicken wings with garlic, ginger, szechuan sauce. Perfect food to go with an ice cold beer! Super flavorful and crispy. Good prices too!
Never again! ...Lousy food at Ridiculously expensive prices!!The young lady (restaurant supervisor) who I spoke to behind the counter has no skills in management, and is absolutely rude and cocky.You’re better off eating at the other new places along Monte Vista Drive.
Ive been coming here since I was a baby.Yin Keng has always treated each customer like family. They remember you--not because its good business, but because they want to.Everything is made fresh to order and prompt. Their lunch specials are a staple for Windsordians looking for great Chinese food to satiate their hunger.Our family loves to start with the Pu-Pu Platter which offers several appetizers along with a charming miniature grill to sear your beef skewers or ribs and is served with sweet and sour sauce and hot mustard. Dad loves the accompanying egg rolls and crispy won tons.The family favorites : Pu-Pu Platter,, Sizzlingup (best ordered in person. Id order won ton soup to go.), vegetable chow mein, lemon chicken, Kung Pao chicken, Marco Polo prawns, mongolian beef and sweet and sour pork. We especially love the pot of oolong tea that is provided with every meal.
Food is excellent been eating in this restaurant for 17 years. No complaint about the food. Friendly atmosphere and no waiting time. They also serve lots of food with decent prices.
I like it because there a number of spicey dishes; the staff is always friendly & accommodating, and the prices are fair. The location has plenty of parking in a shopping center with two hotels adjacent.
We got Mongolian beef and Kung Pao chicken. The vegetables were crisp and fresh! The meat was tender and had great flavor! Chow mein was very delicious as well! We will be back!
Yummy, clean, pleasant. Lunch deal $12 out the door 👍👍👍. I ordered off the special board, Green Beans n Beef, was great! 🥢🍚😋😋
The staff was very attentive, even though they were very busy. The food was distinctly above average for American/Chinese cuisine, and we will definitely be back.
Standard American Chinese food, but good quality and I have liked everything I have had. Reasonable prices and they are accommodating Covid properly
Been going there many years now. Quality Id pretty consistent. A bit pricey and portions have been getting smaller, but overall highly recommended
Good place to bring the family lots of food and plenty of seating are. The food was great not greasy and the customer service was there and helpful.
The people who run it are wonderful, and the food is so good!
Unpretentious, great food. There is a reason this little spot has survived through the years. Usually quiet, flavorful meals that arent too spicy and hot tea.
Good food, not a bad price. Some nice music would be good instead of Japanese music program turned down on TV. We are in America.
Been coming here for over 17 years and we have not been able to find a better Chinese restaurant in the area. The food, service, and atmosphere are always amazing!
I went to the yin Keng restaurant for lunch it was my first time going there and the food really good it was very and enjoyable mostly the pop sticker i suggest coming once or twice
Excellent food! Ordered take out, it was totally delicious! Employees are very nice!
Chow mien was good but chicken dish was mostly vegetables. Service was a little slow but it was lunch time and they were filling a large order to go.
This place used to be the best Chinese food in Santa Rosa, but now its under new ownership, with the same menu, and different recipes! 👎
Consistently good Chinese dishes. Generous portions...great hot and sour soup!
Great food. Very friendly and fast service! I had the pepper steak. Its the best Ive ever had!
Excellent and consistent quality food...very friendly service too...crab dumplings and combination chow fun every time we go..
They were more interested in taking phone orders than taking care of the line of people out the door who were there to pick up their food. Terrible customer service. Several people walked out.
Rushed service food did not tasted fresh not a good flavor. Do yourselfa favor look somewhere else
Love this restraunt. The staff are fun and efficient. The food is good and not a long wait either.
Very disappointing! Been going there since 1990 & its always been great. Not now. 2 items were ok but overall 2 stars.
I loved everything about it, the food the service and the restaurant its self is beautiful. I love the Art work on the walls, the paintings / sculptures are beautiful to me .
Very disappointed been going there for years chicken chow mien no veg very greasy, sweet and sour chicken no flavor and too sweet .
The food in the yin Keng restaurant was really good the lady there were really nice the food was also really how and good mostly there soup
Very friendly and great food. I loved all of it. Samplers very tasty.
By far the best Chinese food around. Large portions, good prices, friendly staff. Doesnt get much better than Yinkeng.
Good food, affordable prices, great to pick up and eat at home. Been a customer for 5 years, never been disappointed.
Great food every time. Eeen with new ownership the food is consistently great. Worth a trip to Windsor..
Great food and they have always been so nice every time Ive come in!
Used Google Maps to find and arrived to find they were closed for renovations. I suggest you call this venue before making the same mistake I did. If they reopen when I am still in the area, I will update the review.
Food was good and the price was good. Service was distracted it felt. Might have been an off day. Would go here again.
Always great service. great humor and the best food. prices are very reasonable also
Ordered for delivery; one of my 2 items was super bland/ had no flavor. The other item was soaked in grease.
Went with a friend for lunch was just perfect everything was good, customer service was excellent, have been back 2 times since then.
Great chinease food and best lunch specials in all of sonoma County in my opinion.
Yumminess 💋!! Definitely Enough Food For Lunch Leftovers... Wonderful, Friendly, Efficient Staff... Delicious Food & Laughter Too! ❤️❤️❤️
I find this place a few months back and I cant get enough. They are very accommodating with gluten free food!
Kind of pricy however really good eggshells, chow mien. And mushroom chicken the rest was a little to oily for me
One look at the Mooshi vegetables and I knew the food would be fresh and tasty ...and it was! Better than the average shopping strip Chinese place that it looks like.
The environment is clean, very delicious, highly recommended
Good customer service. Good food. Clean interior. Great local spot.
Was good im just not a fan of that type of food, but my girl is and she liked it
Thanks Yinkeng for being open again! New Owners, 5 Star Food, 5 Star Service, STILL THE BEST in Sonoma County! THANKS!!!!

Honestly use to love this place but since they’ve reopened all of the ladies who work there are the worst. Super rude. That needs to change.
Love this place. Orange Chicken is amazing. Cant find a better Chinese restaurant around!
Best wonton soup in sonoma county. Service leaves something to be desired, but the food is worth it

2023-08-14 03:16:49I have been going to YinKeng restaurant since the original owners owned it and the food was great. Then they sold the restaurant to somebody who cooked terrible food. Now its been sold again and the food is great again I am So happy.

2023-05-09 18:45:59Ive lived in Windsor for many years and eaten Yinkeng only a couple times years ago. Dont remember it being anything special but met up with some friends last week for dinner and it was great! Sweet and sour chicken and sizzling rice soup were standouts. I already got it again last night to bring home and it didnt disappoint. Great Chinese food!

2016-12-28 03:13:25The food here is fantastic.In Sonoma County, we have a fair amount of Asian restaurants, and if you live in any of the more urban areas, you wont have to drive far for Chinese food, but we drive in from Santa Rosa for Yin Keng.Its a favorite for us for the lunch special. The food is reasonably price and quite varied in the lunch special; you pick a specific entre and get rice, chow mien, an appetizer, and soup along with it. All of it ... very good.My personal favorite is the Szechuan Beef, which is crispy here ... their Szechuan sauce is out-of-control.Absolutely worth a stop if youre in the area and hungry, and probably worth a drive if youre anywhere close.

2022-10-30 05:37:13So glad they offer food in Windsor past 9 PM, and its tasty, too! I called 15 minutes before they closed, ordered 4 items for takeout, and waited for less than 12 minutes. I will definitely be back when Im starving and coming home from work at later times.Dont miss out on quality food.

2021-10-03 22:41:47What a surprise. This small spot in Windsor has one of the best Chinese food ever. Their ingredients are fresh and the service deserves 5 star. Their menu has a lot of option and I would recommend one of their dinner combos. Everything very delicious. Coming back, for sure.
