Why Travelers Love Ying Ying
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We were greeted by a few slots behind a waiting list but it literally only took us less than 10 minutes to wait. The staff are quick and attentive, although not as polite. Food is good with just the right portions. We ordered a lot and paid around ₱1,500. Food was mostly cold and dry which greatly affected the taste. Check the menu and picture of the spring rolls, i added a picture of what they actually look like lol… sweet and sour chicken looked like they cooked leftover chicken from a previous dinner, tonight portions of chicken covered in breading. Overrated. Food was served cold. We ordered hakaw, siomai, steamed lumpia, asado, white chicken, yangchow and milk. All of it were served cold or room temperature. Food and serving is okay considering the price. Won’t probably go back. Servers were nice and polite. Parking - no parking space, you will only park outside the street

Upon arriving, it seems intimidating seeing the line but there's a staff member that lists your name, gets your order, and gives you a form. Once there are free seats availble, you just bring the order form to the staff near your seat and wait for your order. All the food we got to try were really good and tasty but unfortunately we over ordered. That was ok cause they would pack it for us before going. We really recommend the cold cuts platter and the beef mami noodles! But honestly whatever you order is a good idea haha. Definitely would recommend and would bring our family and friends there again.

The food is hit or miss. We ordered yang chow rice, beef mami, hakao, xiaolongbao, pepper beef, garlic chicken, and spicy squid. The dimsums are not served hot, xiaolongbao is missing the juice. The pepper beef is the best, its savory and the meat is tender. We came on a weekend so I think it adds up to the reason why the food is served late...we waited for an hour with multiple follow ups on the service crew. Other tables also experienced the same thing, so I think they're a bit understaffed.
