Our Guestbook
“ We were craving authentic Chinese food last night and came across Ching Yen. You can tell the owner, Sue, takes great pride in her food, and it really shows. We started with the Sizzle Rice soup and Hot and Sour soup. Both soups were rich and delicious with fresh ingredients. We ordered the small bowls and each was big enough for two people to share one and have extra. We decided to try the Combination Appetizer platter which came with two of each appetizer and two dipping sauces. The Sizzling Beef Iron plate and Chicken Fried Rice had quality fresh ingredients. You could tell the pride that went into each dish. Sue was a delight and expressed how much she enjoyed her customers. She made it feel like you're visiting family for a home cooked meal. I'm a soup fanatic too, so I can't wait to try some of the other soups on the menu. We'll be back soon! ”

“ I stopped and ate here for Christmas. I had the privilege and honor of speaking with the owner and we talked about life and family as he was also there alone. I was the last customer and James really was not planning on opening that day but something told him to. He has been serving this community for over 40 years and I felt the love and hospitality. Thank you! ”
“ This food is the best American Chinese in town. I love that the dishes have distinct flavors and everything doesn't taste the same. It's an older restaurant, in a rough neighborhood, but I've never had any trouble there. ”
