Food is good, but this is strictly take out. There are a few tables, but there is always an order of turpentine or something. I always assumed they were refinishing chairs or something in the backroom, but now that I see another review about pouring cement of of mixing bowls, I wonder.

Working in town, it was not uncommon for my office mates & I to get take-​out from here for lunch. Not the friendliest of establishments, but the food was consistantly decent. We thought it odd that they don’t have heat in the restaurant, but getting only takeout, brushed past that oddity. Then there came the day where we stumbled upon them pouring concrete from large metal bowls in their back patio. The same style of bowls that we had seen in their kitchen. It was enough of a red flag that all of us have refused to ever go back.

My vegan family (husband, toddler, and myself) stopped here on a road trip based on their separate vegetarian menu. Our vegetables were fresh and cooked well (not the overdone mush that is common in other places) and the fried general tso’s tofu was light and crispy. Despite my initial reservations upon seeing this mostly take out joint, I’m glad we stopped here.

Pretty good take out. Ordered shrimp lo mein it was pretty average in terms of Chinese food. No complaints but didn’t knock it out of the ball park either. Reasonable prices. Would eat again.

The food is okay but it’s better than all the other Chinese places in this area. Usually trust the specials (red curry) more than their other food. They are conveniently located, quick, and decent food.

Food is so delicious, prices are great, military discounts are cool and a perk. Every time I go up to this area I eat here. Always pleased.

When this place first opened, I was leery because there really isn’t a decent Chinese restaurant around the area. Specifically, it seems like they all get their ingredients from the same distributor. However, after reading other reviews on Unilocal,I decided to try the Vegetarian menu. I’m not a vegetarian but try to eat a wide variety of foods, the less meat the better. E Yuan’s food is very good, I was pleasantly surprised at the «mock meat» and thought the Spring Rolls were crispy and delicious. I will go back there again, probably tomorrow because writing about it is making me hungry.

Basically, my roommate (Mr. Kurt I.) pointed this place out to me when it was new in town, and since then, we’ve become regulars.
It’s really great to have a so many options at a chinese restaurant for a vegan or vegetarian, with the front page of their menu being your standard chinese place fare, and the back being all the vegetarian/​vegan stuff.
Lots o lunch and dinner specials, decent prices, and the food is pretty darn good. I’m partial to the mock beef and broccoli, or the mock sesame chicken. I recently discovered the «ham» lo mein is delicious. They always know my order as soon as I walk in the door («You ordered the vegetarian, right?»).
This place is pretty unusual for a small town like this, but it’s wonderful to have it here… maybe other chinese places will pick up on the business they could be getting?
I’m giving it 5 stars to even out Kurt’s 4, so it ends up the 4.5 that he wanted.

Great food — I wish they made the egg rolls on site though, rather than using frozen — but I still go here once a week. Other than the egg rolls, everything is made fresh and is very tasty! (even the egg rolls are pretty good for being frozen!)

I agree with Kurt that it is amazing that there is vegetarian food here in Etown. We LOVE getting take out from E Yuan. This place has great food and we celebrated my fiancé’s birthday by ordering tons of food from the vegetarian side of the menu. We love the fried dumplings and the spring rolls are great. All vegetarian. I enjoy the mock meat and think that the Triple Delight is great. Our only complaint is that you can’t really sit down and eat in the restaurant (especially in the winter… too many people going in and out and it is chilly), but the food is GREAT!

HOLY CRAP! Have my wishes been answered? A chinese restaurant with REAL vegetarian options (i.e. fake meat) just a few miles from where I live! Yes it is true. I nearly wrecked my car when I saw «VEGETARIAN» on the sign outside.
Its only been open a month and I’ve eaten here three times already. I am glad I waited to review it — my first experience was EH, but they had opened earlier in the week.
They have a full chinese menu on one side, and a smaller vegetarian section on the back. CHEAP lunch and dinner specials, and a good 15 or so things to choose from on the vegetarian menu. This is more than awesome for me.
I like the mock pork (ham as they call it) fried rice, and the mock beef and broccoli. Their wonton soup is also good, but the broth seems a little bland. The fake chicken dishes are ok, but I’ve had way better elsewhere.
Overall — I would normally have to drive to Philadelphia to have such food, so to have it within 5 miles of my front door is a welcomed surprise. I can only hope this place thrives, the vegetarians start patronizing this place and the restaurant expand their menu. I’d love to see mock shrimp eventually.
I would make this 4 ½ stars if I could.
