Yen Ching Restaurant - Lakewood (WA)

5 /5 Jay Freeman: Yen Ching Restaurant is a Beautiful looking restaurant in the corner of a strip mall. There’s a Happy Buddha statue, a water fall, plum & cherry tree art, decorations are classic Chinese designs. There is a Kind, attentive staff. There are Big Khoi Fish in a pool in the front. The food was so good that I didn’t notice them till on the way out! If You are in Tacoma / Lakewood don’t miss this place! Food was excellent. Hot, fresh, lots of fresh vegetables and proteins:beef, chicken seafood. I got spicy squid, green beans with beef, shrimp fried rice, triple ingredient soup, egg roll and Fried Banana. Everything was delicious- flavorful but not too heavy. The waitress was very kind and friendly. Family run business serving the Tacoma/Lakewood area for over 40 years.

5 /5 Val Jesus Virgen: Daniel had a Chinese food craving, and we found an absolute gem! This spot offers a $21 family-style dinner per person that’s packed with value and flavor. It starts with a soup—we chose the hearty egg drop—and an appetizer like pot stickers. Each of us got to pick our own entrée: we tried the Mongolian beef, sweet & sour pork, honey walnut shrimp, and fried rice. Everything was hot, fresh, and flavorful. We also added chow mein to satisfy our noodle cravings—so glad we did! Portions were generous and every bite was delicious. Hidden gem and totally worth it!

5 /5 C J: My husband’s favorite place to eat . We’ve eaten there quite a few times and they never disappoint. We had the Sweet and Sour Shrimp and the Happy Family entrees. Mine had a combination of chicken, scallops and shrimp with vegetables and the seasonings were well balanced . Tender and delicious. The shrimp’s sauce was light and not overbearing, not chewy. It was all served with a large bowl of sticky rice. Jasmine tea added a bit of moisture to our meal. The prices are reasonable. Service was fast, but we were there between lunch and dinner so there were not many dinners.

4 /5 Aaron Hein: This is a wonderful place with a romantic setting. The music in the background is soft and reminds me of a lullaby which was the only thing I didnt like about the setting. My waitress was amazing and attentive to our needs. The food was pretty good, although our bowl of rice seemed a tad bit undercooked. The portion sizes werent too bad though and the prices was reasonable. This place would make a nice date night for couples or big groups. Lots of seating available for groups of all sizes. I recommend going here at least once if you live in the Lakewood surrounding area.
