I had been out very late for the past couple of nights doing my Music Journalist thing and that left me not even remotely interested in cooking anything on my first free night to myself. After the torrential rain had subsided I headed out to decide what would sate the growing hunger. Would it be my staple Pearl Of China, a gyro, or maybe even a big Vietnamese Chicken Noodle soup? I was stumped but remembered that a brand new Yip's Oriental Express had opened up over on 87th Street.
Historically speaking I am very familiar with the Yip's franchise and remember when the first one opened up on Beaver Street way, way, way back in the annals of time. I also enjoyed the one near my office when I worked on William Street but I am hearing that one has closed its doors. The new space on Fourth Avenue is a very modern looking and clean space. There are tables but not a lot of them. The serving counter is in the back and there were a good dozen or so different things to choose from. The menu at Yip's rotates which is always good by me. I opted for their special which was two different orders split in the container for five dollars. Had the crispy glazed chicken and the spicy pepper chicken over their fried rice.
I took this to go and to add the photos to Foodspotting, but I was out of the place in a hot minute and everything remained warm in the package despite my walking almost eight blocks home. The two dishes were tasty and actually worked well together so I was glad I chose these two. The crispy chicken reminded me of the Yip's staple chicken kew but it is different. The glaze is a little sweet but not too much and the spicy pepper chicken while hot, is not overpowering either. I would like to try a few other dishes there when time and the need for not doing it myself arises.
Welcome to Bay Ridge Yip's, I hope the area treats you well.
I usually go to Yip's every other week since it's right near the R train station and they have a special where you can get two side entrees and rice/lo mein for $6. The food is pretty decent and is served buffet style by their staff. I tend to go a little before closing time so they usually have a sparse offering left. From what I understand, they tend to change the offerings. I usually get the sesame chicken, shrimp, chicken broccoli, general Tso, or this sweet sticky chicken [the name eludes me eight now]. All which are pretty decent taste, quality and portion size. The food tastes good even when left over the previous day but some of the chicken becomes a bit stiff. The staff is pretty friendly but I guess since I visit there often, they just might be nicer to me. Overall, it is decent quick Chinese for the price.
