This place has decent Chinese food. Had the orange chicken once, and the curry chicken another time. The curry chicken was so weird, and was spiced oddly. The place is a hole in the wall, and the woman at the counter does indeed yell your order to the cooks behind her. This place is a good standby, especially with a $5.95 lunch special, but I've had far better Chinese food in NYC.
I go here when I get out of work late and I'm too tired to cook + don't feel like eating pizza, subway, mediocre sandwiches etc. This place is strictly a take-out joint in my book, but there are a couple seats that I see people eating in from time to time. The food quality is probably slightly below your average hole-in-the-wall americanized chinese food establishment. There is an A rating outside the door so at least you know they are clean.
Extra star for everything being CHEAP.
Go only if you are craving greasy, unhealthy chinese food and you have no other options for other greasy, unhealthy chinese food.
1. They are fast, efficient and friendly. 2. It may be one of the grubbiest little restaurants in New York, but it still manages to have an A health rating. 4. Dishes are made to order. (I ask for very little oil and they actually do it!) 5. Portions are huge and the food is very inexpensive. One $6 meal over there is easily two meals. 5. Hot and sour soup is excellent. The chicken rice soup broth has excellent flavor. 6. Not the greatest in taste, but its fast food, what do you expect?
For quick, cheap, Chinese takeout, Yoan Ming Garden certainly deserves 3 stars. 3 stars for taste, and 4 stars for convenience, efficiency and price. It's pretty entertaining to watch the woman up front work the register during busy hours. She's like some sort of super woman, answering the phone, taking down orders, while simultaneously packing up the delivery orders, dealing with the people picking up orders, trying to place orders and at the same time, working the register and screaming orders back to the kitchen. I'm not even sure how the cooks manage to keep up with everything, but the system that they have, weird as it may be seems to work!
Hey I ordered General Tso's not General Montezuma's!
I must agree with my fellow Yelpers, not so good. Not the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten, but for NY City, it was bad. My meal was a lovely ballet of blazing hot out of the wok and ice cold salmonella breeding ground. 24 hours later and I am still not sick; feel like I dodged a digestive bullet. Where do Chinese restuarants get that weird chicken anyhow?
First off, the disclaimer that there is not much in terms of food options around this neighborhood, but not terrible either!
This place might look kinda shabby ( and B rating) but honestly, if this place was so awful as some of the other reviews suggest, then why were there sooooooo many people taking up the tables and waiting for take-out? Not just when I am there, but also when I pass this place pretty much every day, I can see it always has business from the window.
For a 6$ dollar lunch deal with typical Chinese (Americanized) options, the food is really not all that bad and meets the needs of the Chinese take-out I have been craving on this rainy, humid day.

This area is a relative wasteland of food.

This place is great for several reasons.
1. They are fast, efficient and friendly.
2. It may be one of the grubbiest little restaurants in New York, but it still manages to have an A health rating.

Sorry Yoan Ming, no stars for you.
