About Yen Ching

Located at Tanglewood Shopping Plaza, 6936 N University St, Peoria, IL 61614, Yen Ching operates as a chinese restaurant serving Peoria in Illinois. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Peoria; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Illinois are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. Typical hours are 11 am–2:30 pm. It is closed on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Yen Ching at (309) 692-9227; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, yenchingiltogo.com.

Its Google rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 103 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.

I dine in. Anyone who takes it home in a box and expects it to be as good (as it is in restaurant) is stupid. Food is AMAZING! If you come in during lunch special during day you get entree, soup, rice, and extra for like $12!! Super fast service!! Like 5 minutes for your soups/crab rangoons/etc then maybe 10 more minutes for your main meal. Waiter who works is nice and speedy. My only complaint would be that some beef meals come with more vegetables then beef- if that’s an issue, the chicken meals are beyond filling. This is my boyfriend’s and I favorite place to eat together.. also my brother’s favorite place to eat. Everyone in my family LOVES IT. Made this review because i saw Alwan’s had a higher rating and their food is crappy and overpriced.

Get this… a Chinese restaurant with wait service! And it is amazing. Been going for 40+ years and it is still so very very good!

Amazing food and service! LOTS of food and when you get it you get your food and a separate plate so you can build your plate with your order(if that makes sense). Egg rolls were good and both meals we got were amazing. My wife had general two's chicken and I had tripple delight. Again both were fantastic. The menu is full of entrees which gives you tons of options to try. My daughter loved that you get hot tea served at your table as well. If you like Chinese and tired of the buffet you have to stop in here for an authentic Chinese cuisine.

I really enjoyed my experience here. My top 2 favorite Chinese spots. I had the Sesame Chicken, Chons chicken, a Egg Roll and Combo Fried Rice. Sesame Chicken was delicious and cooked to perfection. 8.5/10. Same with the Chons chicken but they are the same thing, except the Chon comes with green pepper and no sesame seeds. 8.5/10. The egg roll was the perfect, very flavorful, best egg roll I've had so far. 10/10. Last but not least, the Combo Fried Rice it was spectacular. Cooked rite needs more meat in it. But packed with flavor. 9/10. Food Game 9/10. Portion Game 8.5/10. Price Game 9/10. Overall Yen Ching 9/10.

I was very overall pleased with this place! I had not eaten from here since I was a small child! My Mongolian beef was very good and tender! My husband had general tso chicken it wasn't spicy but still he loved it. It came with sticky rice. We also had creamy good potstickers! The portions of our entrees were huge! It was so pleasing! The sugar sprinkle donuts were so tasty and fresh! We shared some plum wine which was tasty but alittle syrupy. Our waitress was so nice and quick to get stuff for us. The food came out super fast too! My husband had heard this place was really good from a friend. We will be back!!! Thank you Yen Ching!
