Reviews
Had a wonderful time at this Halal Chinese restaurant. It was my first time and we were not disappointed at all. Food was great, better then most Chinese I had over the last few years, and the atmosphere was good as well.
Grils were great with the service, were very agile, quick to take the empty plates away and polite and helpful at the same time.
I think the girl named Hong at the reception was their team lead and was managing it all very well. She was fast and very responsive and looked very experienced in dealing with a busy restaurant.
Overall a great team effort backed up by great food. Highly recommended!
The BEST Indo-Chinese food ever!
We come here regularly and often need a fix of Yen Lin. Dont let the basic interior fool you :)
Our standard order is:
Manchurian vegetarian chow mein,, Manchurian vegetarian fried rice both garlicky and super tasty.
Chilli broccoli is insane as is the chilli garlic mogo, perfect combination of crispy and soft texture.
Szechuan aubergine is crispy skin and soft on the inside.
Tofu or paneer are both tasty too.
The food can be ordered mild or spicy - the latter can have a kick to it!
Pre-book because it can get very busy. And the food comes out fast and as and when it is ready!
Nice family friendly restaurant. Very simple decor but flavourful food and reasonable prices.
The crispy chilli chicken was my favourite thing on the menu. Amazing as a starter.
Prawn toast also a nice starter (quite oily so wouldn’t have too many)
Chow mein was very tasty and had a slight smokey flavour.
The only thing that wasn’t great was the sizzling beef - odd flavour.
Would visit again.
Busy on a Saturday evening - call ahead and reserve a table.
the exterior and general decor of this restaurant may put a certain demographic off - those who are used to frills such as flower walls and dry ice will not be pleased with the dated hole-in-the-wall style of yen lin.
however as far as the food goes, it has to be the most authentic tasting chinese restaurant in the area. it has a well deserved respect from locals so i thought i would try it out myself and i was not disappointed.
overall the food was great, you could taste the strong oriental flavours in each dish. the crispy chili chicken and garlic squid were standouts for me, strongly recommend those. i was served promptly by the friendly waiters and can’t complain with the service. and although the carpet looked like it could do with a revamp, cleanliness was not an issue either.
seems like the perfect spot for families and those looking for a quick bite. i left my house and went there, ate, and drove back within the hour.
It was such a lovely experience.the food and staff was amazing.. quick efficient service
I recently dined at Yen Lin, and while the service was okay, the food didn’t quite meet my expectations. It was a so-so experience.”
As always, a pleasant experience. Customer service was very very good, food also was delicious, all dishes were well made.
A bit disappointed with the Manchurian chicken, but spicy crispy chicken and others were really good. Good sized portions.
Regular visits to this restaurant and will return.
Fully Halal.
Best Chinese/indo food I have ever had. Been here so many times over the years and always had a good experience.
This restaurant is no frills. Very basic decor, paper table covers and basic cutlery and chinaware but the food is 10/10. All prepared fresh and sizzling from the kitchen. All made to your own spice level.
