Yee Cheong Restaurant

Their customer service SUCK! I wanted to try this place for the first time and see how the food was never got the chance. Upon entering I asked for a menu I was given a menu. I started ordering that’s where the issue began. I was given a out dated menu, instead of honoring the prices she simply said oh those prices changed. When she was questioned about why she gave me a old menu again she said those prices old… smh their loss

Love this place. Been going to since a kid. That’s over 20 years now. Everything is always fresh and made daily.

this place has nasty ass noodles and they have Flys everywhere buzzing around. only tried once regret it right after me and my cousin ordered. they also don’t have many spices for the noodles. if you decide to get s rice plate I guess I wouldn’t mind trying again but for noodles I definitely know where not to go.

This place gets 2 stars from me, and thats only because the food was good.
Customer Service? Absolutely horrible… We waited for our food for 25 minutes while everyone else was served. (Not a good experience)

This place is wonderful for lunch. Big portions and easy on the wallet.
FOOD: The beef short ribs with rice is delicious. I have just recently discovered it. They also have the best wor wonton soup. The «sui gow (wonton)» is meaty and tastes great. Also, the pork chop/​beef stew with rice is great as well. The noodle soup is a little bland but the portion is enormous.
Service: You can’t really expect too much service here. There are only two waitresses. and sometimes this place gets full.

Yee Cheong is a hole-​in-​the-​wall Asian restaurant. Good food for low prices, but questionable service. They do serve good tea with your meals.
My favorite dishes are the Beef Brisket stew with wide rice noodle soup. Usually there is too much of the brisket. The broth is very light and flavorful. I also like the Pork Chop and Onion rice with fried egg. You get two good sized pork chops with sauteed onions in a nice sauce. The Beef Chow Fun is also good. They char the chow fun just right. The beef is tender and been sprouts fresh and crisp.
The restaurant is fairly clean for the neighborhood its in. The servers are so-​so and know limited English.

The old YC was better. The broth that came with my wonton noodle soup was bland today. The service is really bad here now. The waitress seem to like to chit chat with each other a lot. Granted they do run the AC not but if you look at the intake vent, the mound of dust is nasty. They never come to check up on you and I had to walk up to pay the bill. The new fancy menu does’t have anything appealing to me. I use to come here for home cook meals but it taste different now.

PROS + + +
+ Authentic GOOD chinese food
+ HUGE portions
+ super cheap!
CONS — — -
— Workers English sub par
— NO customer service
First off if you do not speak chinese the service you get probably wont be that great (bit racist but that’s how most of these places are). the place obviously doesn’t work off tips because after they take your order, and you get your food you NEVER see them again unless you wave them over, or walk to the counter and request something. Its terrible service but what do you really expect from a hole in the wall Chinese joint? so make your water last! (if they bring you any that is)
I’ve only ever ordered noodle soup dishes here (wonton mein, phở, war wonton etc) they don’t have sizes, they just come out in HUGE XXXL bowls. I’m not sure how anyone ever finishes. the broth is always flavourful and they give you a TON of meat, and dumplings.

Went here before and never came back! After ordering and getting our food the lady had a mirror out and some tweezers and yupp se stated plucking her eyebrows right Infront by the register. After that never again plus food isn’t all that great here.

Food was really good! I’ve been coming here since I was a child. I miss the old owners they were really nice
and sincerely cared about their customer service!
The new owners/​workers don’t have any customer service. There’s no point in ordering drinks here, you have to get up and get them youself. Once you place your order, no one will ever come check up on you. What’s the point of going out to eat if you have to serve yourself. C’mon…I feel bad not tipping but I’m leaving a tip for nothing here. I’m extremely dissatisfied with this places customer service.
They get 1 Star for the food only!

I been coming to this joint snice I was a kid. I really miss the old owners. Still cant believe they sold it. Food isnt the same. Quality has went down. Is isnt horrible still ok to eat. I would of gave it One more star. Beside the owner. The other sever is horrible. She is super rude. I ask for a high chair. She told me to get it myself. R u fu*kim kidden me. I ask for iced water. The cup was fill with iced than hot water was pour over it. So I got warm water instead. If I wanted something warm r hot I would of drunk the dmn hot tea u drop off to me that I didnt ask for. It just a disappointment for me to b here. Also for that waitreds with her rudeness, super loud with that mean face. Stay the hell at home.

Since the original owners sold this place, this place isn’t the same as it used to be. Others mentioned that the noodles soups are just ‘eh’ so when I went there for lunch one day, I opted for their rice plate. I ordered their combination rice plate which came with chicken, BBQ pork and beef with mixed veggies. It wasn’t bad and it wasn’t the best I’ve had either. Overall, it was just okay.

It’s located in a shady part of town, but the chow fun here is pretty good. It’st the second best place to eat chow fun aside from Lollibowl. The restaurant itself is small, but there never seems to be much people in there anyway. It looks like your typical run down restaurant, but don’t let that fool you, cause the chow fun is good!

This place is right next door to the Foot & Body Reflexology massage place I frequent ($ 20 for an hour!). Dine-​in and to-​go, either way the soup is great. I personally am a fan of the pretty simple Wonton with Egg Noodle soup, but have also tried the Wor Wonton and Seafood Wor Wonton options. The broth is always warm, gingery, not too salty, and you get all the fixings such as BBQ pork and baby bok choy. The wontons themselves are alright (shrimp and pork, seasoned) but not always consistent. They recently re-​did the place, at least the chairs and tables seem newer and clean.
Remember though, CASH ONLY!

Well, we now have an official «hole in the wall» authentic Chinese food place to stop when we’re in the Sacramento area. It is run by Vietnamese in the «little Saigon» area and not much English spoken so be prepared to point and play pictionary a little bit lol. We ordered the beef chow fun (dry style), pork over rice (think HUGE pieces of bacon tenderized and seasoned), and the salt/​pepper beef over rice. All the dishes were fantastic! Service was great considering they can’t speak with us very easily and all three dishes plus a coke and tax = $ 22!!! WOW! so, with tip you’re out the door for around $ 9 per person. portion size was approx. 1.5 cups rice + ¾ cup of main dish + egg roll. Each plate can easily be shared by 2 people.
Anyway, I doubt we’ll be able to try everything or even come here often enough to add to favorites, but, we definately recommend for locals or travellers headed this way. I think they offer Phở and other Vietnamese dishes (signs on windows) however, none of that stuff is in teh menu… perhaps there is a non-​white boy menu they hand out to other customers… you may want to bring someone that speaks the language so you can try other offerings.
Enjoy.

I really do love their beef chow fun, it’s gotta be one of my favorites. Kim Hei used to make THE BEST chow fun ages ago, but not since the 80’s. And their pan fried noodles are nice and crispy. The wonton rice noodle soup is clean and refreshing on a cold day. The prices are great, nothing over $ 10. It can get busy during the lunch rush though, so either come early or have a late lunch. The owner is very friendly and service has always been great.

When i come to this place i always order the chicken noodle with wontons because its the best here! Their rice plates are also very good and you can pick any 2 items you desire and it comes with rice and some bok choy. Also, their logan ice is the bomb!!!
The service isn’t as good here but the boss lady is nice but at times can be a little rude, but hey what can you expect from a place like this.

I come here for their famous wonton noodle soup. I always get their seafood combo. Their portions are big enough for two to share!
This time I also ordered the special seafood over rice plate, it is flavored very similar to their seafood chow fun.
One of the older lady was also very nice and food came out quick.

I have been coming to this place since… FOREVER. And when I say FOREVER I mean FOREVER!!! I grew up a couple miles from this place and my church was half a mile up the street from Yee Cheong. Growing up, everyone dreaded waking up at 730 am on Sundays for church, but everyone did it for:
A) The Love of God and Christ
B) Your parents MADE YOU
C) Yee Cheong was promised to you AFTER CHURCH!
Being the devout catholic, wonderful son, and food lover I am, I did it for all three reasons! :)
You could always depend on YC to give you authentic Chinese and Vietnamese food at no dent to the wallet. We typically fed parties of 15 here for under $ 80 and the portions are plentiful. As much as I came here growing up, I only ate one thing here, EVER! So much that the owners never even game me a menu, they know EXACTLY what I wanted! Ladies and gentlemen, that meal was…
The House Special Chow Fun… Sighh…
Full of flavor, full of BBQ Pork, Tender Beef, Plump Shrimp, Succulent Crab, and the vegetables… my ‘ol my the vegetables. Fields of baby corn, mounds of mushrooms, thick noodle crevasses of carrots! And the SAUCE. Yes the sauce was what won me over, it was a wet style chow fun, and I left the plate DRY when finished with my meal. I spent a good 14 years of my life eating this sole plate every Sunday, (minus the bok choy that is).
Sadly.and yes this is the reason for the missing star in my rating. They recently changed Chef’s and the sauce is a mere memory to me. The chow fun is still good and portions are huge, but the satisfaction is lacking however. I guess I’ve grown accustomed the very BEST YC had to offer, and it isn’t anyone’s fault they changed chef’s. Everyone should try this place out once, forget the big restaurants up the street, save those for weddings. Drop the fast to go spots where the word «authenticity» is foreign to them. Try Yee Cheong out and feel good about yourself!
My loyalty to Yee Cheong still remains, however my heart left with the chef who filled my childhood memories with good eats and great times… Eat Up!

Came here for a quick lunch. The parking lot sucks because there’s a HUGE 99 cent store in the same strip mall. We sat where we wanted and were served in under five minutes.
As soon as we walked in, we saw the average chinese families eating and being loud, luckily they didn’t give us any second looks (I’m Filipino and he’s white.)
We ordered the beef and chicken over rice. What we got was sliced mystery meat and white chicken with what looked like canned vegetables. The rice was fluffy, but a bit hard. The sauce that came with it was ok. We sprayed on some hot sauce, which seemed to be watered down Sriracha sauce, or perhaps a generic equivalent.
They have fish sauce on the tables so you don’t have to ask for it, which is a big plus for me. Most asian restaurants that I go to never have it out, not even in phở houses. Weird.
They also had chopsticks in pink straw dispenser cups. I should’ve taken a picture of that, but I always feel a bit shy to take photos inside of businessess. One time when I was in high school, I was an amateur filmmaker and I brought in my camcorder into a Starbucks. The abruptly asked me not to turn the camera on, as no recording devices were not allowed in the store. I lived in Fairfield at the time, go figure.
A picture I did manage to take was of this tiny note written on the back of some box, then wrapped in plastic wrap. On the note it read: «CASH ONLY THANK YOU»
The note was handed to us, hidden between the two menus they gave us. Funny.
As we were finishing our meal, (which was $ 8 out the door,) this trio of latina women walk in, dressed as if they were hitting the cumbia club to go baila. I personally think that they had just arrived from church. Again, another photo-​op lost to my timidness.
Consensus: THUMBS UP!
