Pretty old school restaurant with white table cloths and table side service. Dinner on a Saturday night was pretty packed so the wait was awhile. Once sat though the service was quick and the food came out even faster. The best things we ate were the Moo Shu chicken wraps, they were very savory and flavorful. The slippery shrimp was definitely memorable and apparently iconic- and I can see why! The texture was so satisfying and reminded me of corn nuts but in a good way? The rest of the dishes were pretty standard, but overall it was a nice family meal !

From the red carpet to the linen table booths, Yang Chow is an old school restaurant serving Chinese American dishes like moo shu pancakes, lo mein and kung pao.

While they are known for their slippery shrimp, which is really good, my favorite and go to dish is good old old kung pao chicken — minus the peanuts. It hits every time.

This place can get busy, but there are plenty of shops in the area to visit while you wait.

The staff moves quick, but friendly. Prices are decent and while very old school, the place is always clean.

Tip: If you have time to spare love, and love old school Kung Fun movies, make your way down to the Chinatown Central Plaza and check out the Bruce Lee statue. It’s about a 10-15 minute walk from the restaurant.

Our family goes here every Feb to celebrate two b-days. The food and service is always great but have noticed within the last few years that it’s looking a little run down outside. At a minimum they should replace the cloth awnings. Parking can be a challenge when they get busy, we typically go when they open so it’s not too bad. As for food, would definitely recommend their slippery shrimp, this is always a treat when we go here

We made reservations for 12:30pm on a Saturday for 11 people but to our pleasant surprise it was not busy which was great. Quiet atmosphere. This is a traditional family style menu. All dishes were cooked well and flavorful. Slippery shrimp and moo shu wraps were my favorite. Large portions to share and we also had alot left over to take home. Hospitality was nice and we all took home a 2025 Year Of The Snake Chinese zodiac calendar.

I had the pleasure of dining at Yang Chow in Pasadena, and I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely amazing, with large portions that left us more than satisfied. To top it off, the staff was incredibly kind and made my mom’s birthday extra special by surprising her with a little birthday ice cream and a cheerful song. Their hospitality really set the tone for a fantastic meal. Highly recommend for great food and even better service!

I absolutely love Yang Chow! As someone who’s obsessed with Chinese food, this place hits all the right notes for me. The slippery shrimp is incredible – crispy, flavorful, and honestly addictive. The Sautéed Beef & Scallops & Broccoli is another favorite of mine – the combination is perfect and everything is cooked to perfection.

Everything I’ve tried here has been fantastic, from the hot and sour soup to the kung pao chicken. The portions are generous, the service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Whether I’m dining in or getting takeout, Yang Chow never disappoints.

If you love Chinese food as much as I do, you need to check this place out. It’s become one of my go-to spots in Pasadena!

The Chinese food here was amazing. Not a place where you get the common chinese food like orange chicken and all. If you love Chinese food you ll get authentic food here. The yang chow rice was amazing

Also there’s a celebrity hall of fame . We spent over $100 well worth it. And we took an amazing amount home as well

Food is always delicious but keep that order simple!!

Egg drop soup (white pepper is already on the table make sure you add that before you eat your bowl)
Egg fried rice
Slippery shrimp
Crispy Szechuan beef

Easy meal for 2-4 people!! Might have to double up on that slippery shrimp when it gets low half way!!
