Customer Review Summary
Many recent reviewers describe overcooked, dried-out chicken balls with batter one called "like biting into a brick," alongside salt and pepper chicken and spare ribs found dry and overly salty. Several report sauces tasting off, with one comparing the ok sauce to "brown source" and another likening chicken and mushroom sauce to "bisto gravy," plus complaints of undercooked spring rolls and fishy-tasting fried rice. Close behind the food complaints are delivery problems: one order took over 1.5 hours against a stated 35-45 minute window with no apology, and another arrived over two hours late after being told the kitchen was busy. A few longtime customers say standards have slipped, suspecting new ownership. Not every order disappoints, though: some reviewers enjoyed the beef black bean, hot and sour soup, and noodles, and one praised a chicken foo young with chips as hot and delivered quickly, with plenty of chicken.

“Updated review! The last two times I have been the food was so salty that we couldn't eat it and threw it away. I will never go again! It's such a shame I used to like yangs. …”
- Robert Taylor
“Delivered on time friendly driver. The food is very bad never had a Chinese close to as bad as this place :/ got a variety of stuff and it was all bad just some bits worse than others. The ok sauce tasted like brown source which was very concerning.”
- Robyn King
“We have used yangs for years, hardly ever had a problem maybe odd times with over cooked chips but NEVER this bad! Omg I can’t believe what a waste of money it was! Got told they weren’t busy tonight (not surprised) but we thought oh they …”
