Great string beans and fried rice. I was not a fan of the protein or egg rolls.
Excellent Chinese menu with traditional and."American" chinese dishes. Great preparation and.packing to take back to the hotel for my teams dinner - would recommend anytime.

Thank you for the amazing service and the food!
Classic Chinatown visit must include a trip to Yang Chow restaurant. This is the spot if you like Chinese food.
An ICONIC Los Angeles Chinese Food restaurant established in 1977 by the 5 Chan brothers. Known for their Slippery Shrimp and Yang Chow Fried Rice (made with pork, shrimp and chicken), this place will have you coming back again and again.The service is quick and easy. But note, this is not one of those restaurants where you’re going to be doted on, so leave your Western attitude of dining at the door and get ready for some great food.The menu has so much to offer, but what I can tell you was good from our first and only visit so far is the Slippery Shrimp, the sautéed string beans and the Pan Fried Potstickers. We’ve already made a list of all our loved ones that we’d like to bring here. We’ll certainly be back.
We got the Slippery Shrimp, Shrimp Fried Rice and Orange Chicken. Slippery Shrimp was the best one. I was expecting it to be spicier but it still had flavor and a good crunch to it. Would definitely come back. The dumplings are the biggest I’ve ever seen.
Surprising good. Don't go by the decor or outdoor seating. Order the Shanghai noodles in broth. If you have a dog....outdoors is dog friendly. Skip the spring rolls. They were disgusting.
After strolling around the mostly-closed shops and restaurants around the main gates of Chinatown, we headed down Broadway for lunch at the popular Yangchow restaurant on Broadway. We were surprised that the restaurant was so slow the second week of Chinese New Year, but were happy to be seated right away for lunch around noon. The waiters were very attentive. I asked for recommendations for appetizers and scallops dishes, and chose the fried spring rolls and garlic scallops. I would not recommend the spring rolls – the filling was tasteless mush -- but the silver-dollar-sized scallops were delicious, sautéed with lots of broccoli and water chestnuts (not indicated on the menu.) I noticed that the sizzling scallops dish another customer had ordered was all scallops for the same price which would have been a better deal. Our dishes came fast, water was filled and dishes were cleared quickly and more customers began to stream in. (Note: the single unisex bathroom needed a good cleaning.)
Wow! A meal that actually exceeded my expectations, Yang Chow served up the best Chinese food I've had in ages, maybe ever! We chose the slippery shrimp which had a pleasant, light crunch and a sweet and tangy sauce, the Szechuan chicken (orange chicken) was fried beautifully but not too oily, and the Yang Chow fried rice (with pork, chicken, and shrimp) was packed with all three meats. The pork wontons were good but next time I'd get what the table over got for appetizers which were the pan fried dumplings or the spicy wonton soup. The service was delightful (after a 30 minute wait, they were VERY busy), the servers was super attentive and the food came out surprisingly fast. Fair and generous portions. Don't skip this one!
I felt welcome in this place due to the customer service provided by our waiter Alex. Place look cozy and clean. The food was fresh and tasted good. Definitely coming back.
