Yang Sheng Chinese Restaurant

Food was really good and the atmosphere was nice. Gave me small Chinese food place vibes and it's an accurate assessment. Reminded me of a lot of the places my parents used to take me an my siblings when I was younger. I will definitely be eating here again.

Quality of food was desirable. Will never eat there again. Only bokchoy was in the fried noodles with half cooked chicken. No soy sauce was even added.

Coming here since I was little, anytime I’m in the city I make a point to go and get my favourite meal!

It’s not the top of the line chinese Restaurant but good service and food. Bbq duck skin wasn’t crispy and some dishes weren’t good. They are fast and amazing with kids very caring. No line ups or long wait times.

Ordered spring roll, shrimp dumpling, fish perfume meat string and mushroom oil vegetable. Tastes authentic. Spring roll tastes so good. Only 3 shrimp dumplings for appetizer and too hot in my mouth, too expensive. The rest is average price. Lots of selection on menu, service okay. Tried D1,90, good.

Not impressed.slow delivery.hounded for tip.no rice side dish.no cutlery.napkins.soy sauce.an where my fortune cookie?

Super super super delicious! ! ! The aunts who work there are also very nice! ! I would like to go to Ottawa again just to eat this place! !

Do not go to this restaurant it’s a ripoff. I paid 16.75$ for a fried rice and the portion is very small. If you order a fried noodles the portion is double and the price is the same. Owner is rude and has no customer service experience. Doesn’t know how to talk to customers

Friendly unassuming Chinese dining. Huge portions, for a fair price. Hot and fresh- my faves are anything with eggplant. Happy they were open late as we were looking for a meal at 10pm. Will absolutely be back

The staff there are always very friendly, and the food is just incredible, very good portion sizes and the prices are equally reasonable

Wow what a little Gem Ottawa has with this little place. Food was great and reasonably priced. Service was fast.

Lovely Boxing Day lunch. The egg rolls are great. The beef and eggplant was my favourite. General Tao was a little spicy for me (it’s always hit or miss for me, I can’t take much spice) but it had a good flavour. Sweet and sour chicken balls were tough and dried out. The won ton soup was a bland but good. I would try again and skip those two dishes.

I’ve been ordering take out for since 2016 via apps from this place, sadly the new app they’ve gone too doesn’t allow me to place orders as they are always closed. Such a shame. Oh well I will have to find a new Chinese place to order from.

Not sure what has changed, they could not understand my address despite spelling it out - food never arrived, ordered twice, driver got lost despite being 10 blocks away from restaurant, and driver asked stranger to call me giving my name and phone number to people I don't know. Wow! Called to follow-up - put on hold -

Been going here for over 25 years and it is the absolute best Chinese food in Ottawa! Try the Hongkong style real BBQ pork!

Best Food in Ottawa. Period. I have been eating here since the 80s and I have never been disappointed. Huge menu.

We asked for FRIED rice and they gave us rice with sauce and beef, the description of the meals were inaccurate to what we received. All the meat which were in the dishes had a smell. The taste was not the best.

Absolutely AMAZING every time! Great to dine in or get delivery. They are super friendly and never disappoint. The delivery guy is so warm and friendly. Big portions with DELICIOUS food and egg rolls. They have NEVER provided anything less than perfectly wonderful food. I HIGHLY recommend! Thanks Yeng Sheng! I love you guys!

J’ai découvert ce resto au début des années 90 alors que nous voulions profiter du Chinatown de la rue Somerset. Le hasard m’a fait découvrir ce merveilleux restaurant qui offre bon nombre de repas asiatiques savoureux. J’y vais encore régulièrement même après toutes ces années!

Des nouilles frites (bœuf, porc, poulet, etc.) aux sautés de légumes, tout est succulent. Les prix sont sont raisonnables et les portions, très généreuses. Il ne faut pas vous fier à l’apparence générale du restaurant. Je vous le confirme: vous ne le regretterez pas. Ce resto fut mon élément déclencheur pour tout l’amour que j’ai pour les mets asiatiques!

We really enjoy everything about this place. We accidentally walk into the restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the size and the cleanliness of the dinning room. The staffs are very friendly and the foods are so good. My daughter love the ducks and the bird nest.

Excellent food, best service. They stayed 45 minutes passed closing time just for us to finish out meals. I would go again.

At restaurant in downtown Ottawa. Craving authentic Cantonese dishes. Meal was awesome and brought back great memories. If you are in the area I highly recommend. Yang Sheng is the oldest Chinese restaurant in Chinatown established in 1976.

This is the best Chinese food I have had in Ottawa lately. The food is delicious. Arrives hot and very fresh. Non greasy, flavourful dishes. Everything is good and the delivery person is pleasant, honest and always has a kind word when he or she arrives.

Needed to update. I have been eating here for 38 years. I have become extremely dissatisfied with their customer service and their takeout. There is one older women who is always rude for at least the last 7 years. No matter day, or time. To the point of, if I am going to eat there, I see her I don't bother. Believe she is the owners wife, or owner. Eddie is always friendly and caring. Remembes your name says hi. Asks about your family ect. Other staff is great ALSO. Authentic food. If you have allergies to shrimp stay away from the wonton soup. Again very authentic food.

Awesome Chinese restaurant! Absolutely love the food and amazing service! For me the hot tea is always the best ️

I love this place! I always recommend this place to anyone who likes to feel like you aren't in Canada anymore once you walk in!

Slightly upgraded. Better experience but still issues with ordering. Some days better than others on food quality.

I have been going here for 44 years, still love it. Yang Sheng is my go to for Chinese food no matter where I live in Ottawa.

An institution in Ottawa. It's among the oldest restaurants and shops in ChinaTown with at least 30+ years of patronage by friends and family. Always good, simple and affordable Chinese.

Went for the first time and one of the main things I can say about this place is the employees of this place are so welcoming and friendly. They even offer us free tea while we wait for our take out order! Plus they offer an extensive menu with different options for you to pick! Highly recommend!

Ordered food in. It was sincerely underwhelming for what we paid. Small portions and the food was either underflavoured or flavourless.

A dining establishment of substance over flash.

None of that over salted, over sugared, over sauced stuff.

Just good old school top notch Chinese cuisine.

If authentic is more your taste, this is the place to go. Good service, good food.

The decor is classic, hand carved dragon arch and all.

After a long drive from Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario to Downtown Ottawa, we were famished and found this gem (the only restaurant that was open) amongst the restaurants that we tried going to.

Great food all around and the service was bar none!

Food was like home cooking at its best - great flavours, big servings and most of all, fresh ingredients!

Thank you so much for hospitality and great food! ️

The best BBQ pork and duck in town.been going there for over 44 years. Now when I come back to Ottawa I make it my mission to go here

I tried several chinese restaurants nearby, but always come back in this one. The food is fresh and flavorful. I've never been disappointed.

Will change their delivery radius at the drop of a hat. I used to enjoy eating delivery from here, but I was abruptly told that they 'dont deliver that far' despite me ordering from them dozens of times in the past, several of which from the address they now refuse to deliver to after allowing it for several months.

Previously a 4 star review.

This is the best Chinese food we have tried here. Bravo to the Chef's.the service and great hospitality.

I started eating at Yang Sheng about six months ago, and have been many many time since, and I can’t tell you how much I love this place. Always generous portions, served steaming HOT and filled with freshness, and to top it off, every single time my meal is prepared with AMAZING CONSISTENCY ️ Seriously! You’ll never get a bad meal at Yang Sheng. Ive been for both lunch and dinner, and I have had a ton of items on their menu, and every time, it’s both delicious and very well prepared. My HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION

Very friendly staff, timely orders, and most importantly - food is DELICIOUS! Lots of vegetarian options and they seem accommodating.

I am so happy and impressed with this place.
I am a BBQ Duck Fanatic and it's some of the best I've had.
Really good price for the amount of food that you get, I ordered over UberEats and $60 was enough to feed both my partner and I for two days.
If you haven't tried this place yet, do it. You won't regret it.

This is the absolute most incredibly delicious food my mouth has ever EVER encountered. I'm literally moaning with every bite.

For authentic Cantonese cuisine along with North American offerings like chicken balls, this place does the job well.

Food pretty bland for the price. I've had much better chinese for cheaper. Also I can understand it was about to close but the place was a bit clunky.

Exactly what it says on the tin, great chinese food at a decent price!
Also owned by chinese people as far as I can tell. Great selection, too!

Today I had the best order from here that I have had in a while. Feels like the old yang sheng. Cheers guys:)

I ordered via Uber Eat. Hated the food. We had noodles which was tasteless but I was really disappointed by the Seafood XO. It’s quite pricey and the taste was not at all what I expected. The noodles were so oily, none of my kids ate it.

The duck had an awful taste, the rest was alright albeit very bland.the menu is overwhelming, despite the waitress being nice I can't recommend. A real shame for a small business

Anyone looking for actual Chinese food, avoid at all costs. Mushy saltless fried rice, with the egg over hard, and their fired noodles was just mush in cornstarch sauce.

Didn't like the egg roll at all neither the "fried noodle bbq pork" it was swimming in sauce and mostly just had pieces of meat fat.

The buns are okay.

Ordered my food. Got sent in a box with extras. Cockroaches. Unbelievable and disgusting. Have the photos.uploaded them. Look through the photos and you will see it

Being biased and bad towards Chinese customers. It’s funny cause they came from China, but the attitude treating Chinese customers is like SHIT. Maybe you can still have local customers with your preferred attitude, there will be consequences coming one day.

For what it’s worth, the food is amazing, made to order, not sitting in a hot plate in the back and thrown onto a plate. Consistently the food is fantastic and the waitresses are kind and prevent an over indulgent experience. Their Szechuan dishes are on Hong Kong point, and it’s no frills atmosphere, free wifi and accommodating staff make this place my #1 for a solo, quiet Chinese experience, or large group gregarious to do. Just such a comfortable unassuming experience. Love it!

Authentic Chinese food. The best BBQ Duck I have had so far. Combined Chinese and Viet Nam food. Free tea, quick food. It looks like 1960s diner.

So i ordered from them, spent $25 and told the lady to put no red sauce on the chicken balls, which I am allergic too, and they delivered it anyways, and then i called to get a new one and the lady told me she is not going to deliver a new platter because she said she never heard me say that, since i am allergic to the platter now, and i was on the phone with her for 5 minutes telling her how bad that is for customer service, after that she said she will make me a new one but "not wasting my deliver money for me". Absolute worse ancient restaurant ever.i don't know what her problem is, but allergies are usually and should be taking seriously, not happy at all.

Reasonable price for large portion of food! My favorite Chinese restaurant. They are always so generous on meat. In some other Chinese restaurant, they always serve a large bowl of noodles with two or three pieces of meat. In here, the ratio of meat and the noodles is almost 1: 1.5. Absolutely a good place for meat lovers.

I've been here twice and I have to say this is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to in Ottawa. They were very nice and friendly, the place was clean, and most importantly the food was amazing. The first 2 pictures are the Chiu Chow Dumplings ($6.00), the 3rd one is the Jumbo Shrimp in Black Bean Sauce (around $19 I think), the 4th one is shrimp Siu Mai ($6.00), the last 2 are pictures of Golden Creamy Buns ($4.50).

Gross. Everything is bland a chewy or laced with raw ginger so you can’t taste how bad it is. Worst Chinese food I’ve ever had, and small portions to boot. So mad.

Screw what people say! This place is consistently great! Best pad thai around for sure!
Update Jan 2019: Food is even better! Love these guys!
UPDATE 2019: thank you Yang Sheng
UPDATE Apr 2019: wu se #1!

Had the fish ball soup and I was very disappointed, the fish balls were like eating rubber balls and the spring rolls were poorly filled and not vietnamese at all save for the fish sauce to dip them in. For a simple dish like fish ball soup it should be much better.

Great food, the staff are very friendly and the service is fast. If you want authentic Chinese food, it's the place to go.

This place is legit. You want good BBQ pork? They will sell it by the pint. You want some good chinese food they have it. Yes it isn't the prettiest but I will fight anyone that denies it isn't one of the best chinese restaurants in Ottawa.

I have limited experience here as I have only tried 2 items on the huge menu. I love duck and have a hard time choosing a dish. So I always order the #44 duck delight. It comes in a 2 person giant plate with half a duck topped with chicken pork calamari shrimp and a few vegetables surrounded by bok choy. I will update with a picture next time I go. Free unlimited tea and white rice that is always fresh. They do delivery and also uber eats and skip the dishes. I always eat in, nice decor and I dont get judged for eating the whole thing alone.

Authentic Chinese food that has been consistent over 25+ years that I have gone there. Wide variety of dishes. Some of the ones that we really love are: Mustard Greens with Duck & Salted Egg Soup - the flavour contrast is very good with the salted egg, greens, and duck. Snow Pea Sprouts with Garlic - great if you want greens, Eggplant & Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce - so yummy. They are also able to tweak dishes for you. We always get Yang Sheng special rice with black bean sauce for instance instead of the regular sauce. Yang Sheng is our goto Chinese restaurant. Food is great and there are so many options.

A hidden Chinese culinary gem. The food is authentic, delicious and in abundance. Whether it be their specialty and my favourite dish, Rice Noodle, or the excellent lemon chicken, you’re guaranteed a wide selection of reasonably priced dishes.

Be sure to order a pound of their BBQ Pork to go. You exit Yeng Shen, hop in your car armed with the takeout, and before you arrive home, half <if you’re lucky> the addictively tasting appetizer is gone.

A friendly yet active environment with knowledgeable and attentive service. Once you visit Yeng Shen, you will make it your secret Chinese/Asian food getaway. Somerest and Bronson, eat in or prompt delivery. Mouth watering Dim Sum dishes too. That’s it, gotta run, I’m starving.

Just might be some of the best Chinese food in the city. It's a weekly spot for me.the staff doesn't speak English to well but they are very nice and the service is very quick

Food is good, service is good (if you can flag them down). My only quibble would be that the tea tastes like earthy bokchoy.
