House Of Yang

This place came highly recommended. I was disappointed. The restaurant is dark, dated, and not the cleanest or most welcoming. Order at the counter to the employee behind the Covid glass. I ordered the lemon chicken and it was okay. Too much breading and the lemon sauce did not have much flavor. The portion size was more than adequate. The egg roll accompanying the meal was delicious and the major highlight of the meal. The lunch meal was about $12 with a very small fountain soda. No plates for dine-in orders.

UPDATE: I think they are having some plumbing issues because I walked in yesterday 08/26/2024, and it smelled like sewage. Gotta keep it real, it's not cool when dining in. This time around (08/26/24), I ordered a drink and they forgot it. I asked for a refund, and the manager does not know how to do it. So she said next time I will get the drink free with a new order. This experience made me want to go less. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice, and it all tasted old except for the fried rice, like the smell of a dirty sponge, and so I threw it away. Do not get the sweet and sour chicken. Orange Chicken is your best bet. They have their own in house chili oil and it is amazing. Savory and aromatic like garlic. I've been to Ma and Pop Chinese Places, as well as the usual generic ones like Panda Express, Rice Garden, Dragon Garden, and Dragon Express. This place isnt the best I've had because of the dirty sponge taste from my last time here (08/26/24). It will move down a few tiers because this is the only place that has a dirty sponge taste to the food. The cost per portion is fantastic considering that this is located in the nice area of Scottsdale Arizona. You walk in, and the place was spotless: floors were very clean, and it did not smell like dirty oil. You can smell the sauces, as well as the charr when they are cooking your order. It does, however, currently as of 08/26/24, smell like sewage inside the restaurant. They need to get on that. The review below is from my first visit. Today, I ordered the Orange Chicken dinner combo, which comes with your choice of white or fried rice, OR low mein noodles. It comes with an egg roll and a cream cheese ragoon, and I believe some egg drop soup. With tax, this cost me around $13, and I also ordered 8 pot stickers, and total this meal cost me $22, which is very cheap for how much you get. (PHOTOS SHOWN). The fried rice was fire. It has this clean charr flavor from its cook, mixed with green onions, and has this intoxicating garlic scent that you do not need sauce with it. The orange chicken was crunchy, and not too saucy. It's drier than Dragon Garden's orange chicken, and less oily than Panda's. Just overall better. Flavor profile is predominantly garlic and something else I can't put my finger on. It's freaking delicious. It's a nice, cool place to beat the heat, and the food and service makes me feel at home. Ranking from best to worst in terms of cost, portion size and quality, the order goes: 1. Dragon Garden 2. House of Yang 3. Panda Express 4. Dragon Express They need to fix these things if they want me to come back: -fixing the smell of sewage problem inside the restaurant -forgetting simple orders Thank you for reading.

House of Yang was perfect for our quick lunch needs. A very sizeable portion of pretty solid Chinese food for a reasonable price and very kind (and fast) service. They even let me use their employee restroom when asked. We tried the tangerine beef and lemon chicken lunch combos - the chicken and lemon sauce were very good, the beef was a little salty and not a lot of citrus flavor but still tasty. The egg rolls were definitely the highlight of the meal. Food was ready in about 4-5 minutes from ordering and was quiet around 2pm when we arrived. Pretty small dining area that's dated, but let's be real - you typically get this food to-go anyway. Highly recommend when you need your hole-in-the-wall Chinese lunch special fix.

The food here is great and I just tried these wings that they recently added to the menu and I was astonished by how great they taste. I highly recommend this place to the people of Scottsdale who want a great meal.

Today I just had to have Chinese food and House of Yang hit the spot. They've been around for over 50 years and they're food doesn't disappoint. We enjoyed egg rolls, BBQ pork fried rice, wonton soup, sesame chicken. We're left completely satiated.
