No frills gem with excellent food and wonderful service for takeout/delivery. Veggies are always fresh and tasty, and there are many vegetarian and vegan options. Prices are very reasonable. The owners are so charming and it’s a wonderful part of the neighborhood.

Excellent Chinese takeout joint. Exactly what you expect — my wife and I had the sweet and sour chicken and general tso’s and it was delicious.

Got the vegetable dumplings and chicken and broccoli and this is by far the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. It’s so bland. Barely any flavor. I hadn’t been eating Chinese food cause my typical Chinese food spot got a new roach review so I decided to try this out. Never again. I think I’ll just make the trip to Chinatown. The chicken and broccoli lacks flavor in the sauce and the rice doesn’t really have any flavor at all. The dumplings were the only reason I gave it two stars. They were ok but a little doughy. I gave in to this spot cause of the reviews. So I hope this review steers those who are like me and looking for a new spot.

Delicious Chinese food at great prices. So nice to have this place in the neighborhood

This restaurant has been around for quite sometime now so, when you look up at the signs you can see the aging and sun bleached pictures of meals they still make. This to me is a sign that this food is going to be great.

I order once from here about 3 years ago and I been eating it once a week ever since. Best Chinese food in the area in my opinion, I mostly enjoy their fried rice which is less greasy than most places.

Reliable American Chinese food. Great lunch special. Their sesame chicken general tso and orange chicken are amazing.
*I will add that while amazing it is hit or miss in terms of amount of chicken. Some days there’s barely any.
**portions shrink every time I go. This is the last time I am ordering from this place and changing my review.

This place never does anything to change its appearance on the inside. They have all their products they use to cook laying around in what is supposed to be their dining area and they never do anything to improve the inside of their establishment. It looks slummy and the food is far below real Chinese cuisine standards. They never really had the room to serve as a dine in restaurant like they have in Chinatown. Yang Garden has been the only Chinese staple in this neighborhood for years and maybe that’s the reason no one wants to tell them that they need to do something to improve their appearance. While there are other Chinese Restaurants in Washington Heights, they all seem to follow the same set of rules, by not doing anything to improve their appearance but because of the economic downfall and inflation, they are forced to continuously up their prices, lower their portions and aren’t keeping up their appearance. While there are other restaurants in our neighborhood to go to, most have tried to improve their establishment by expanding and offering outside dining, but unfortunately, Yang Garden doesn’t have the room to do that and we understand that, but at the same time, they aren’t bothering to improve their appearance. While I’m not usually one that post their comments concerning dining establishments, I felt it was time that I finally posted my viewpoint and my overall rating on Yang Garden. I’m doing this in hopes that they do something to improve their business but I’m quite sure, my comments will be falling on deaf ears and they will continue to be at most, a low class establishment. After all, an old adage is, why fix something if it isn’t broke, right? Hopefully others will feel the same as our household does and Yang Garden will finally take the steps they need to improve the appearance of their business.

I start off by saying all the staff seemed really nice, and we got our order in a timely manner. I don’t consider myself hard to please however, I was really unimpressed with the food. The orange chicken was REALLY not good. The chicken lo mein was lacking flavor, but texture was good. Cheese wontons were really tough and also… not great. Wish we had better options in our neighborhood.

I ordered vegetable chow mei fun, and was surprised when it came soggy and greasy. That’s my go-to dish at Chinese take-outs. On the good side, it had a decent amount of vegetables. But overall I have to give it a C+.
The place is run down and desperately needs some new chairs. But if their business is mostly take out, it might not be worth the upgrades.
The proprietors were friendly and polite, which was a plus. I’ll give them another try, but will probably order something else next time.
