Yin’s Chinese Resturant

We have been coming to Yin’s since they opened at this location in 1994. Consistently a great place for great Chinese. Curry chicken, wor won ton soup, dumplings, lo mein, and lemon chicken are tops. Hard to find quality service and food like this elsewhere.

I love this place! Been coming here with my family since I was a kid and lived within the neighborhood. Now we live miles away and we like to stop by every once in a while. My favorite dishes are Happy Family, Hose Lo Mein, House Fried Rice and their soups! Let’s not forget their delicious and crispy Crab Angels. Yumm! I always recommend this for Chinese!

This is still one of the best places to come and grab a good lunch or dinner. The prices have gone up but it is good and worth it. If you want to eat a decent price go for there lunch hour specials.

This place is nothing like the outside. Go in and order! They are nice and the food is delicious. I fell in love immediately. :)

I was looking for an Asian Restaurant, when I stumbled upon Yin’s. The reviews were good and I was only a few blocks away. I went in and ordered chicken fried rice, yuing chicken and mongolian beef. I love chicken but, the beef was the most tender, flavorful meat I have ever eaten. Now I am a regular for life!

This place has the best Won Ton soup! I’ve been coming to this place since I was 6 and the food is still good. The plates are pretty big for the price. It’s a small quiet place where you can go and eat in peace when you’re trying to stay away from crowded noisy restaurants

This restaurant has been around for about 20 years. It is family owned and they serve real authentic Chinese food. They don’t have you wait, and the food is CHEAP. will definitely be back. Oh and they have amazing orange chicken too!!!

Just happened to be working on some equipment in the plaza and decided it was time for lunch. Yin’s was staring me right in the face and my stomach insisted that we visit.
Inside is painted pink of all colors and has several cheesy pictures of koi and other Chinese items on the walls. There are booths and some table with chairs and you can usually sit where you want.
This is some very Americanized Chinese food and they do a good job of creating some heavy and flavorful sauces. The portions are large and the prices are very reasonable.
So far we have tried a few of the lunch specials. I normally get mine extra spicy and my crew usually orders something on the tamer side. Even got a great suggestion from brother Laz C on my last visit and went with the Curried Chicken. Yum!
Service is kinda tricky and takes some effort to get them to your table. They seem to be in a zombie like state and appear somewhat preoccupied. Nothing like a little «Psssst or Yoohoo» to get their attention.
Going to play it safe and go with a A-​OK rating for this place. Maybe I just like the authentic versions more than the typical Americanized stuff. But don’t be surprised if you see me here again when we are working in the area. ORDER UP!

Went here Saturday for lunch. Got sweet and sour chicken lunch special. $ 6.45 after tax. 50 cent charge for using card. Egg roll was good the fried rice was meh… not bad but not great and the chicken was good. Big lightly breaded pieces with some veggies in a nice sauce. Overall decent lunch spot. May be back.

food is good and plentiful BUT the service is terrible. the employees seem to hide behind the counter which is hidden from the dining room. they drop the food at the table never to be seen again. so if u want drink refills or sauces or to go boxes or even the check you have to hunt them down.

Egg fo young to die for and dumplings that remind me of Chinatown NYC. Don’t miss out on this amazing restaurant

I agree with most posters that the food at Yin’s is excellent. But I was unable to communicate my displeasure over a «policy» to my server, so I will write it here. I walked in (the latest in a string of visits), and I ordered two meals for take out. While I waited, I wanted to have a bowl of their hot and soiur soup. They refused to sell it to me. Apparently, you are not permitted to eat anything «in» if you’ve ordered take out. I don’t get it, why wouldn’t you? Why turn down additional business. I’m torn, because the food is the best in the neighborhood (I work in the neighborhood), but this policy is just stupid — especially when ²⁄₃ of your tables are empty. I don’t get it. I’m not sure I’ll go back.

In the inception of my Unilocaling I was giving away five star reviews like U of A was giving away TD’s to ASU! I am now learning that four stars is now my high score unless I am totally blown away and is why I am updating my review. Yin’s Chinese Restaurant is a throw back. Their interior décor is a bit dated but adds to the ambience of the experience. This little gem is family owned and always prefer it to a corporate spot at all costs. The most important this about Yin’s is the customer service followed but the delicious menu and topped off by the cost! Big Bang for the buck here. The valley has changed throughout the times but when I lived in this area in the early 90’s it was really nice. Do not let the area scare you off by giving them a chance. Support this Mom and Pop’s establishment to ensure we don’t lose another.

I do love the food here. Yin’s is not much to look at from the outside of the building and I am not sure if I want to be in this neighborhood after dark but, oh, the food! Hot, fresh and just the way I think it shoud taste every time. The employees are nice and service fast. A must try is the egg drop soup.

Run down little chinese place that hadn’t been to in almost 15 years but I was really excited to find that their GARLIC CHICKEN LUNCH SPECIAL HASN’T CHANGED.
If you were part of the hoards that used to try to cram in at Yin’s in the late 90’s and remember that deliciously spicy garlic sauce, they are still there. Check it out. Cheap as all the others, but this dish they corner the market.

All I can say is don’t judge a book by its cover … This is a family owned and run place where the food is inexpensive but every dish is fresh, delishious! & flavorful.
Their sauces are amazingly scrumptious. Yin’s has to be my all-​time favorite Chinese restaurants in Phoenix. I mean I know good Chinese food when I have it and considering the options available in Phoenix this is one of the better Chinese restaurants period.
They take standard dishes and add high-​end ingredients and interesting flavors. They are very consistent (never had a bad meal). All the dishes are wonderful, you can’t go wrong with anything. Particularly good is their Wor Wonton Soup.
FOOD: The food is always consistent (never had a bad meal). The food is superb! PRICE: The price was also quite reasonable. SERVICE: the service has always been great prompt, polite, and attentive. AMBIENCE: Just right for the neighborhood. The interior is rather standard Chinese restaurant fare, so nothing special there. CONCLUSION: I would highly recommend this place.

Not very good. Crab ragoons tasted like store bought cream cheese… with no crab. Chicken and broccoli was eh. Vegtable fried rice barely had vegetables in it. wouldn’t go again. Way better places to go for decent Chinese food

We’ve been going to Yin’s for about 15 years and have to tell you it’s one of the few restaurants where the quality has never varied. Everything is always excellent. We’ve loved everything we’ve had. Favorites include the Canton Style Fish (with black bean sauce), Orange Beef, Schezwan Pork, Chicken and Snow Peas, and Lemon Chicken (which is out of this world). We’ve seriously tried to find a better Chinese restaurant and never could.

Best Chinese Restaurant in the valley. If you look meat and rice, this is your place. The Schezwan Pork is amazing as well is the sesame chicken. I used to live far away from this place but still drove there to eat their food. Now I live close and I do not hesitate to stop by. It may not look too pleasing from the outside but what does nowadays. Price Cheap to Moderate
