Yen Du Restaurant

I was taking my daughter somewhere new for lunch & wanted to try Yen Du because the reviews are fantastic. Upon entry, I was shocked by the beautiful decor. Atmosphere A+! We arrived just as they were opening & were quickly seated. This place filled up fast. People coming & going for dine in & take-out. What struck me most was the familiarity the staff/owners had with the guests. They knew each other. When I described us as “Guest”, you are treated like one. We chose a dinner for 2, which was more than we could eat. Food was delicious & service beyond A+. Will definitely go back.

We were looking for a quick yummy meal on our drive and this exceeded all expectations. The owner gave us recommendations when we call in our order and was so welcoming when we arrived (just before closing). The food was absolutely delicious and we couldn’t help but devour it

The restaurant is quite big, the lunch is cheap, the service is fast, and the people are nice. The food's ok. Parking area is small.

I ordered for 3 peoples menu which served 6 items. All of them are good. The restaurant is quite full and busy and many order for to-go. There are only 2 servers and 1 cashier, but they're all work very fast.

Been other places this is by far my favorite chinese place in town. Once came across this place. Food is great. House chow fun is my favorite. Employees are always friendly.

I've been here about 4-5 times and that's due to not only delicious food (every time) , but impeccable service. They are patient with my kids, too! The family that owns/runs this restaurant are wonderfully kind and attentive no matter how busy they are. The service is spot on- Every. Single. Time. I will continue to come back over and over again. I can't sing their praises enough! My only tiny complaint is that it's usually very loud but that's never been enough to keep me away.

I have been here on several occasions. Every single visit the employees always provide the best quality food and service. I love that they have really large portions of food. The consistency is incredible. Love it here

The food at Yen Du was wonderful, a great surprise. This is a very hidden gem!!! We have lived in Stockton three years and did not know it was her. The restaurant is beautiful also! The service was superior.

My normal hole-in-the-wall chinese restaurant located off of N. Yosemite Ave was closed Sunday, so I had to search for a new place. I'm glad I did, because we stumbled upon a gem that we've never tried. The ambience is great for family outings & celebrations. It's a quaint spot that is very nice. The ceiling decor was really nice. The staff greeted us with warmth & energy. The phones were ringing and restaurant was buzzing!

Let's get to the good part, the food. A patron suggested the sizzling 💤 rice 🍚 soup, and it was tasty 😋.... had veggies, shrimp 🍤, small pieces of pork, and the crispy rice. Portion is good enough for 4-6 people.

Salt & pepper fish 🐟 - my favorite of the entrees. It was hot, crunchy, flavorful. It was garnished with jalapeños, fried garlic, salt & pepper. Try it over rice 🍚.

House chicken - their version of orange 🍊 chicken. It was good, but would want to try other entrees next time

Chow mein 🍜 with chicken - good dish. A little on the salter side, but tasty nonetheless. Large portion.

Black mushrooms 🍄 & Chinese greens (like bok choy) 🥦 - this dish was really good. My 3rd favorite behind the sizzling soup & the 🐟. The sauce tasted buttery and the greens were fresh.

I'd highly suggest trying this place out. We'll definitely be back!

Thank you Yen Du!

Absolutely amazing experience. Food was high quality and not overly expensive. Staff was so welcoming and hospitable. Will 100% be coming back very soon.

We reserved three tables for thirty people. The food was great, the service friendly and fast, and the area where we were served was fairly private. I would recommend Yen Du for both casual and professional lunches and dinners.

Me and my wife tried Yen Du Chinese food. It was sooooo good. We had fried shrimp rice with fried chicken wings, crab rangoon puff and sweat and sour fried chicken and eight delicatessens mixed seafood with meat. Everything was cooked delicious and amazing. No complaints at all , service was good and place was clean

You will not regret going here. Unbelievable service and food. Extremely friendly staff who served us right as they were closing. Disliking every single negative review.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in town. I have been going there over 20 years. Hands down the best in town. People and the employees are great 👍. If you like Chinese food this is a must try. Very clean establishment. I guarantee you'll be happy 😊

Good service. My wife and I always get the number 1 meal for two, which actually can feed 3. Food is delicious.

Great service with good food!

Wow, this is another hidden gem in Stockton. The food was exceptional and service even better. Family owned and operated. Our server was attentive, and made recommendations since it was our first time. We will be back, and back often. Can't wait to tell our family and friends about this gem, and break bread together. The sizzling rice soup was outstanding and a fun treat. Highly recommended!!!

I’m in Stockton a couple times a year for family. Over the years I’ve built up a cadre of restaurants I like in the city, but Yen Du
Is the ONLY one that is a must-visit. Over the 30 years I’ve been coming here, the quality and consistency of their food has been amazing. Three home runs: Sizzling Rice Soup, Pot Stickers, and Prawns Yen Du. That said, nothing on their menu has ever let me down.

Guess where we’re going tonight!

The service is always great, and the food tastes delicious! The food is not greasy, and the veggies are fresh. The music is quiet, so you can have a conversation.

The food is delicious! The customer service is great! The restaurant is very nice inside. Thank you Yen Du for always giving me a great experience.

Great atmosphere, great food and excellent service. My first time here and I was not disappointed. The sizzling rice soup is a must try. The family style meals are plentiful so you will have some leftovers for later.
