Reviews for Yan's China Bistro & Bar in Walnut Creek, CA
Mongolian chicken was tender. The black bean chicken could have had more sauce. However, for the price you get soup and salad... for lunch special. Read more
Went there for the first time with my brother-in-law and his wife not knowing what to expect. It was around 5 and they were just... opening for dinner. Plenty of parking in the back, off the street. Walking in from the back you walk past the galley and seeseveral chefs furiously working their woks, preparing some of the nights features over roaring gas flames. The decor is likeyou'd expect, somewhat dark, but we were seated in the empty bar station where there was still some daylight sneaking in. Service was prompt and attentive. We ordered some apps and they came in minutes. Our hosts had been before so we let them orderfor the table. I'm sorry that I can't be specific about what each dish was, but I can say every serving we had seemed betterthan the one before. I was more than pleasantly surprised. The food was as good as any Chinese food I've ever had. Every bitewas singing with flavor and was outstanding. We will back. Read more

Yan's China Bistro & Bar is a standard American Chinese restaurant. The restaurant caters to the American taste. The bar is the... highlight of the restaurant. We had high expectations when we went to dine at this restaurant. The ratings were 4.5. Afterdining we thought it was over rated. The food was bland and tasteless. Maybe we ordered the wrong food. Please try thisrestaurant and determine for your self. The service was exceptional and the food was served hot. Read more
Delicious food! Very tasty, fresh, good price, and good quality chicken compared to other Chinese places. *Crabmeat cheese... puffs and orange chicken* Read more
Disappointing Chinese food. Had hoped for more in the Bay Area. Maybe I should have tried something in San Francisco itself. Had... the Mongolian beef which was almost tasteless and the spicy tofu - what a joke - spicy??? It was pretty much as tasteless as theMongolian beef. I had to ask for chili paste to spice it up. Best part of the meal was probably the white rice. Would not returnhere. The photo may make it look good, but don't be fooled. Read more
