My Yen Chinese Restaurant

It is 7:45 on Saturday, you were busy all day, and there is no way that you cook tonight! The answer? Your friendly neighborhood Chinese restaurant...

So this place looks like nothing funny and they served me my Sav in a champagne glass, but the food was amazing!!! I ordered the crispy skin duck in...

Ahhhhhh, Tuesday evenings eat Mongolian Satay Beef from My Yen, from which plastic take away container, while watching episodes of Dragon Ball Z and monkey...

Ive been going to this restaurant for well over a decade now and it has always been constant. The duck dishes are always my favourite and there has never been a time where i can say the quality has not been there

We had booked a table and ordered special dishes ahead of time for a special occasion dinner on week night. The restaurant was very quiet when we arrived, with the only other customers a family with children tucking into an early dinner, and a few tables of couples. As the night wore on, we ended up with the restaurant to ourselves. Despite the lack of customers dining in the restaurant, we noticed they did a roaring takeout trade. They're obviously very popular in the local area.Anyway, to the food. The off menu items we ordered were superb - a raw salmon tossed salad with large slices of melt in the mouth salmon and crunchy vegetables; stir fried lobster on a bed of noodles in a gingery, scallion-y sauce; and an earthy eel with preserved black beans.The menu items we picked a little hit and miss. The flash fried long beans with garlic was good though slightly oily. The slow cooked pork hock with seaweed was lovely, very tender and redolent with soy and spices. The Chinese roast duck was very ordinary. The sweet and sour pork was a complete let down. I like sweet and sour pork, but the pieces I picked were all fatty and tough in a thick, gluggy batter.We'll give the pork and duck a miss the next time we are there.
