" We decided to try Yin's for dinner last week and unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The chicken balls were overly doughy and lacked flavor. The service was decent, but it felt rushed as if they wanted to turn tables quickly. I likely won't return unless I hear about improvements in their food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family gathering at Yin's and to our surprise, it was satisfactory! The chicken chow mein was well-cooked with crispy noodles. The portions were decent for the price, although a bit more attention to seasoning would be an improvement. Soft drinks were refillable, which we appreciated. Definitely considering returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent visit to Yin's, my friends and I were pleasantly surprised by how clean and well-kept the restaurant looked. Part of us were skeptical about the food but decided to give it a chance. The service was speedy, and the general tso’s chicken tasted much better than some of the reviews suggested; it was perfectly crispy! But still, a few dishes could use more authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a shift in quality since the original owners! I had a special request for an altered meal due to allergies and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. The sweet and sour chicken was still a favorite, but the consistency of the sauce was different from what I remember. I hope they keep the customer service top-notch as food quality improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently picked up takeout from Yin's and it felt a bit lackluster. The portion for their fried rice was generous, but the taste left much desired; it was soaked in oil and had a bland flavor profile. The service upon arriving was friendly yet efficient. While the atmosphere when inside seems pleasant, the food itself needs a serious makeover. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yin's has been a family favorite for years, but I sensed things have changed recently. The lemon chicken lacked its namesake flavor and was relatively tasteless. The portion felt smaller than I remembered, which left us a bit dissatisfied. Nonetheless, we still enjoyed the atmosphere and hope it gets back to its former glory. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch at Yin's recently. The service was fantastic, and the place was quite accommodating to dietary needs. The Chinese dishes were decent and had a fair price, but I felt they could work more on the authenticity. I ordered the dumplings and could only taste the skin; the filling was missing in action. I’d probably give them another try to see if it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)
