This is one of our favorites in downtown Livermore for years now. The quality & taste of the food has been consistently high. It's the place you go back to when you crave a dish & get it exactly the way you remembered! Cravings satisfied. We have never been disappointed. This time, I want to highlight their Special Dinners for $22.95. We first tried it for dinner when we were craving the staples - fried rice & sweet & sour pork. We tried the Special Dinner & realized that for the cost of those dishes, we could get another dish, appetizers, and soup! Check out the photos for the Special Dinner for 2. Service is always friendly & attentive. The dining room is well lit & decorated with Asian art pieces. It is casual & comfortable. We've always enjoyed it here.

Yin Yin is very delicious and super authentic. Everything that you order taste really fresh and has great flavor. I ordered the chow mein, pot stickers and beef broccoli . You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. They are very nice and the service is very quick. You don't wait long for your order to come out.

First visit to Yin Yin and we were impressed. Service was fast but patient as the menu is vast with many options including lunch specials. To be honest we had an ulterior motive as we wished to try their pork egg fu yung to compare it to the East Coast version elusive since being in Ca. Many restaurants do not even offer this staple. We ordered 2 orders and 1 order of pork fried rice. The egg fu yung was hot in temperature and was freshly cooked and with much savory flavor. Three patties in each serving which was more than enough as we took one each home. The rice was moist, tasty and the portion was huge. The atmosphere was attractive Asian decor and fairly quiet despite a busy lunch crowd due to how the restaurant separated some tables. Definitely a place to return too!

The Food is fabulous!! I have now had the Wonton soup. Very authentic!! Just what the Doctor ordered! I also have had the Walnut Shrimp. Best I have tasted. Glad they are back open!!!

I got the: Pork fried rice Orange chicken Yin Yin chow mien & Egg rolls. Everything was fire , sorry no pictures. The prices were good, and large portions.

Mongolian beef lunch plate. Very very tender beef, very crispy onions. Not a large quantity. Plate also has limited quantities of both fried rice -and- chow mein. Both surprisingly tasty despite complete lack of vegetables or meat. Efficient service. Rest room is through a side door in the bar next door, which means you have to navigate past drunken people to get there. Signs says it's to the right, it's actually to the left.

The food was very good. The price point was not as high as I would've expected for a downtown location. The portions were generous. I forgot to take pictures of my food again because I grew up in an analogue childhood. But I got the string bean chicken and it was really good. My friend ordered their war wonton soup and that was pretty amazing as well. The vegetable fried rice had no egg in it for people who are looking for no egg food. I have some vegetarian friends who are no egg people so this would be a good place to get the rice.

We've been searching for a new go-to Chinese place that has good prices and good food, and we think we've finally found it with this place! The food was nice and fresh and not greasy. It tasted great, and their menu has lots of choices that we can't wait to try. We ordered delivery through their website and even though the time estimate was 45 minutes, I kid you not 10 minutes later our doorbell rang. We both looked at each other and were like "there's no way".....but yes, it was the food! I guess they have some dishes ready to go and that works well for us lol. Pork Chow Mein ($10.50) - Pork does mean BBQ Pork (we weren't sure it would). This was my favorite of everything we got, it had a nice almost smokey flavor and wasn't greasy at all. It had lots of meat and overall tasted very fresh. 5/5 Chicken Fried Rice ($10.50) - This tasted okay when we had it with everything else. I thought it was a bit bland, and it's unfortunate the only vegetable in it is green onion. But when we had the leftovers the next day just on its own it actually tasted a lot more flavorful. Also it was fresh and not greasy, and you get large pieces of nice chicken. I'd try this again with another meat though to see if it was more flavorful. 3/5 Szechuan Chicken ($12.50) - This was disappointing, it wasn't spicy at all and it tasted more like sweet and sour chicken to me. That being said the chicken was great quality and it came with assorted vegetables which was nice. But I need me some spice and this didn't live up to its name. I wouldn't get this again. 2/5 I also love how much food they give you. For two people we got like two and a half meals out of this. Amazing value. I can't wait to try more things!
