Affordable local Chinese American food that was shockingly not too greasy... The portions were big and the owners here are really friendly. We got a couple dishes and everything was made-to-order in 10 minutes. $10 minimum for cash! Beef Chow Fun was standard and cooked just the way I like it. Chewy noodles and a lot of veggies. I like they put cabbage and not too many onions. Beef was tender and not over cooked. The Honey Walnut Prawns were yummy! A good amount of crispy breading and lots of mayo! If you want something sweet and creamy, this is pretty good value! Doesn't come with rice FYI.

Usually I never leave reviews but this issue could have caused serious harm. I ordered the beef chow mein and orange peel chicken. When eating, I felt something poke the inside of my mouth and I spit it out. It was a sharp, thin piece of metal. It kind of looks like a metal bristle from a cleaning brush. I’m very lucky that I didn’t swallow this because it could have easily become lodged in my throat or caused other serious harm once it gets to my stomach or intestines. The place was dirty and I should’ve trusted my gut by not ordering here. The sanitary practices seemed minimal and in hindsight, it’s not a surprise that a piece of metal ended up in my food. The only positive of this place is the customer service. The lady at the counter was very kind, brought the food within a couple of minutes and even walked us out the door. Unfortunately I can’t recommend this place because of their lack of upkeep and hazards in the food.

Yen Ching Chinese Food has the perfect fish in black bean sauce. The veggies and the fish are hot and fresh. The fish is crispy, but not overcooked. The authentic Hong Kong style black bean sauce is flavorful, and yet not overwhelming. This is my go-to place whenever I pass by the Seven Tree area in San Jose, California.
