Yen Yen Chinese Restaurant

Very quite place. The service was fast and we got reminded several times its family portions. Not the friendliest vibe.We had egg drop soup,chicken n vegetables plate, house fried rice and beef fried rice. The food was very bland. Not very fried fried rice. Just over all it was bland. Decent portions for sharing on the fried rice but the chickwn and vegtables is just for one.

Service was attentive and fast! Food was delicious! Everything was going well until we got the sweet and sour pork. When my wife went to dig in, she quickly spotted a black wire-y looking thing on the plate that looked out of place. Upon closer inspection, it was sharp and hard; metal hard. We're guessing it was a twisted staple or something like that. I included a picture below. It could've been a very dangerous situation if my wife or I had bitten down on that, or swallowed it. It's a shame. The food was good and all the service was spot on. But not sure if I would eat here again with this type of dangerous quality control problem.

It's true that people remember experiences more than any detail. This has been family-owned for years! (I don't know the exact history of this restaurant.) It was empty when we sat down. Lots of people ordered takeout during our dine-in. Anyway, very friendly service here. Hidden in the corner of this shopping center, close to Kailua Cinema. We ordered steamed fish filet with ginger sauce, stuffed bittermelon, shrimp fried rice, orange chicken, and Chinese chicken salad. All dishes were awesome!! 😋 I especially loved the chicken salad. It's rare that I finish it all; the chicken was not dry! the dressing was perfect. Got to talk to the owner a bit. She is very nice too. (Sorry, I forgot to ask your name!) But I definitely recommend this restaurant, and I will come back again! I want to try other dishes 😁
