on Citysearch Oct 18, 2009Beware! This place uses MSG on everything. If you're like me, it will ruin the rest of your evening like it did mine. Stay Away!!! (more)

on Citysearch Jan 02, 2009I've been to Yang Chow about 7 times now and I always get the slippery shrimp. I've had bites of other peoples food, and I never really like it (hence the 4 stars, not 5) but the shrimp is so good, that it's worth it just for... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 27, 2008Canned mushrooms in the wonton soup! YUCK. Cups had bleach smelling residue. Noodles were flooded in sauce, cooks were yelling in the kitching the whole time. (more)

on Citysearch Feb 28, 2008The food here is great, in particular the slippery shrimp! Definitely order family style. The soups for 2 really serve at least 4 and all of the dishes are considerable portions. Service isn't always that great, but... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 12, 2007Yang Chow is a source of both good food and frustration. The slippery shrimp- lightly battered shrimp fried perfectly and doused with a delcious citrus, garlic sauce are addictive. The menu is wonderful, as is the... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 06, 2007I love the downtown location. They have the best kung pao chicken. They give you huge portions enough to be shared by others. The food is well worth the wait. Even when there are crowds, there isn't a long wait time. If... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 23, 2007<b>In Short</b><br>This beloved institution has introduced more than one neophyte diner to the joys of Chinese cuisine. Familiar favorites like moo shu pork and Szechuan beef lead the large menu, but house... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 02, 2007How can Citysearch expect to be respected when out of all the top 10 Chinese places in all of Los Angeles only one is in the San Gabriel Valley. There are at least 20 places that can easily beat out your top 10! True Chinese... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 09, 2006Wow, this service was horrible. My party of 4 had reservations for 6:30 on Saturday. We got there 15 minutes early, and we signed in. There was a large crowd and utter chaos, and the staff made no attempt to form a line or... (more)
