Yuen's Chinese Food Carryout

Temporarily closed

Chinese Restaurant $ 4.4 (233)


Yuen's Chinese Food Carryout is well-regarded for its authentic dishes, especially its yak and fried rice. Many customers appreciate the quality and flavor of the food, though the restaurant's ambiance is described as no-frills and located in a less desirable area. The cash-only policy and occasional concerns about service responsiveness are noted but overshadowed by the strong appeal of the authentic flavors offered.

" As a chef, I've sampled my fair share of Chinese cuisine, and I have to say, Yuen's carries an air of authenticity that's difficult to find in most places. Their pork yak is exemplary – steamed to perfection and bursting with natural flavors. However, I urge newcomers to be mindful of the area while visiting. The ambience is quite basic and the service can be hit-or-miss, likely due to a high volume of orders during busy hours. They could easily improve the operations by hiring more staff or finding ways to manage phone orders better. In conclusion, Yuen's is a hidden gem for anyone craving true Baltimore-style Chinese food, but don’t say I didn’t warn you about the surroundings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent carryout, but it’s nothing to write home about. Good for a quick bite, but I've had better Chinese food elsewhere. The cash-only policy can be annoying, and the atmosphere left a lot to be desired. If you're local and looking for a quick fix, fine, but if you’re after something special, I'd recommend exploring other options in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical and thought I wouldn’t enjoy it as much as people said, but I really underestimated Yuen's! They nail the flavors on the fried rice and the yak is so fresh! The carryout vibe is perfect for my busy schedule, and I really appreciate the dedication to authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Surprisingly good for a carryout! Their shrimp fried rice is a good option, very flavorful. The service was friendly but a little disorganized. Despite that, I think it's worth revisiting for the awesome yak I’ve heard so much about. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is pure Baltimore goodness! I can't rave enough about their pork yat. Reminds me of home. It’s always packed with flavor and the portions are generous! I wish they had an option to order online for pickup because I always end up waiting on the phone. But honestly, the food is top-tier. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this carryout place! Their yak is the best in town – I've tried a lot of places, and nothing beats Yuen's. The pricing is very fair for what you get. Just be cautious when you're picking up your order, as the area can be sketchy sometimes. But overall, the food is worth the visit, trust me! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic!! From the yak to the egg rolls. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor! I did have to wait a bit for my food, but they were really busy when I got there. Totally worth it! I will be returning for sure, this is now my go-to for Chinese takeout! " (*Curated Review*)
