Editorial Review for Yang Chow – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
This beloved institution has introduced more than one neophyte diner to the joys of Chinese cuisine. Familiar favorites like moo shu pork and Szechuan beef lead the large menu, but house specialities like the famed slippery shrimp--a neon batch of sugar-coated butterflied shrimp--should not be overlooked. Other popular dishes include sauteed string beans and hot Szechuan wonton soup with bite-sized dumplings. Kung pao chicken offers diced chicken dotted with peanuts and chopped onions.

Insider Tips

Parking

The restaurant has a small, cheap lot behind it. If that's full, keep in mind that Chinatown parking is unpredictable, so pack some loose change or dollar bills and park in any space that crops up: metered street or adjacent lots.

When to Go

The busiest hours tend to be from noon to 1:30pm and from 6pm to 8pm; try dining during off-peak times for a more relaxed meal.

The Extras

In another area? Yang Chow has locations in Chinatown, Pasadena and the San Fernando Valley.

Canned mushrooms in the wonton soup! YUCK. Cups had bleach smelling residue. Noodles were flooded in sauce, cooks were yelling in the kitching the whole time.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We ordered family style for a group of six and every single dish was excellent. We had the slippery shrimp (everybody's favorite), the dry sauteed string beans, beef with mushrooms and bamboo shoots, house special chicken and the combination fried rice. The dishes did not arrive all at the same time, but since we were all sharing, this was no problem. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place.

Pros: great food

Cons: eclectic decor

The well-charted territory of kung pao and moo shu makes culinary tourists feel at home.  See the full editorial review.
