Yan Yan - Reviews

My family's favorite Cantonese restaurant in Chinatown, a place we've loved since childhood, transformed into a wine bar, leaving us wondering if we'd ever find anything comparable. Thankfully, my cousin discovered Yan Yan's when she lived nearby. The staff are super nice, and the food is the closest to my childhood comfort food that we've found. We picked up a big order for our first family get-together in over a year, now that we're all vaccinated! The Walnut prawns were excellent, with not too much sauce and good-sized prawns; we ordered two, and they were gone immediately. The Black bean clams had such a good sauce, and the clams were a generous size, unlike at some other places. The Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce was cooked to just the right texture. I appreciated the oyster sauce being served on the side, as it can sometimes be overpowering. The Salt and pepper pork spare ribs were so good – crunchy with just the right amount of flavor. We found the portions on everything to be good, and even giant on many items. Although we recently moved out of town, we will definitely come back when we can.

My experience at this restaurant was centered around the food, which was great. However, it's important to note that this establishment caters to Chinese families, making it not a date night type restaurant. I would recommend going for the food, rather than the ambience.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The hostess was incredibly sweet, just as others had mentioned, and she was literally sparkly! For $35, I received massive quantities of Seafood Hong Kong style noodles and a huge box of sautéed pea shoots. Everything was delicious. I'm already looking forward to the leftovers for my next several meals. To top it off, the hostess included two kinds of Chinese desserts for free: black sesame and red bean. I would definitely return.

As visitors from Michigan, we were craving Cantonese food and found this restaurant through a Google search. I'm so glad we decided to come here! The food was not only fresh and delicious, but the staff was incredibly friendly, treating us like family and even offering complimentary entrees. Our lobster with noodles entree was huge and very impressive. The black sesame dessert was also good. Even though we aren't typically big fans of chicken feet, their complimentary chicken feet were surprisingly delicious! Thank you for the wonderful food and service; we will definitely return next time we're in the area!

My first experience here was fantastic! I will definitely be back. The food was tasty, the portions were gigantic, and everything was served exactly how I like it – piping hot😊.

My experience at this Chinese Seafood restaurant was marked by a large portion of food. A notable highlight was the inclusion of five types of dessert, all free of charge with dinner: black sesame 👍, black Jello👍, mango pudding, red bean👍, and green bean. The only drawback was the lack of a dedicated parking lot, requiring a search for free street parking.

My experience at Yan Yan was fantastic! I found it to be a good value with a huge portion offered at a reasonable price. The owner was also very friendly. I would definitely go regularly. Thanks Yan Yan.

My experience at the restaurant was positive, with good food served at decent prices. While everyone enjoyed the Kyoto ribs, I personally preferred the salt & pepper ribs. For dessert, the red bean & black sesame pudding was yummy!

My experience at this restaurant was wonderful! It's my favorite place for family and friend gatherings, where we can all enjoy the good foods. The owners are very friendly, making it feel like my second home.

My experience at Yan Yan was largely positive, with their food being above average. While not the absolute best, the quality was definitely noteworthy, especially when served fresh from the kitchen. A significant plus was the generous portion sizes, ensuring a satisfying meal. Initially, their desserts were not impressive, but on my most recent visit, they tasted insanely good, leading me to wonder if the dessert chef had changed. Overall, a good dining experience with standout food portions and surprisingly excellent desserts.
