“ Amazing schezuan dishes! Authentic flavors and great hospitality! I am inlove with their eggplant in garlic sauce and steamed pork belly &preserved mustard with soya sauce. We also got a duck dish with soup dumplings and they're just as amazing! We ordered a lot for two because we got so excited with our new found restaurant so we also had a lot of take home food! ”
“ We just had my brother’s 50th birthday party here at Yi Pin and it was very good. Upon entering they decorated our tables with balloons. We know they are new owners but compared to the old one this new one has better customer service. The service was top notch. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. They even bought 2 birthday cakes for us which was nice. Food was great as well. Overall would definitely be back for more parties. ”
“ The most authentic Chinese restaurant in this area. Nice decor and atmosphere. Very good and authentic Chinese dishes, prepared and cooked the right way. But be warned that many dishes are kind of spicy. Special recommendation on the Soup Dumplings (6 pcs)小笼包 (not spicy at all, and also not supposed to be their specialty). Juicy and very tasty, better than other restaurants nearby. Fried Mantou (6 pcs)黄金小馒头 also good but a little pricey.干锅肥肠,葱爆羊,羊肉炉 dishes all very good. Will come again and often. Update: Have been back there several times and was never disappointed. The owner Mr. Yang and the servers were all very friendly. Here are several more dishes to recommend: Fried mixed pork liver and loin 腰肝合炒, 毛血旺, 红烧牛肉面,红烧牛腩煲. Still 5 star rating! ”
“ This is one of the best meals I’ve eaten out in a while. Everything we got was so delicious, well presented and generous portions. There was something for everyone in our party, from vegan, vegetarian and the meat eaters. Service was excellent too. Great touch on the complimentary jelly dessert at the end. Will definitely be back soon. ”
“ Most authentic Chinese restaurant in Lancaster! Great, kind service. The owner always comes out to check-in on the guests and makes sure that everyone is satisfied. The food is delicious, fresh, and very very authentic. There’s a separate menu for the Chef’s specials that include fresh seafood and vegetables. Lots of spicy options, but also there are lots of non-spicy alternatives, and they are always willing to make things less spicy or not spicy at all (upon request). For those who are looking for more traditional Chinese American cuisine, they also have a large selection of those common dishes. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone! ”
“ definitely plan to go again. So many interesting things on the menu. I went with the soup dumplings and spicy braised beef soup the waiter made sure I liked it spicy and I didn't know what I was getting into but said sure! It was great though. Lots of flavor, tingling from the peppercorn, and still had other notes to it. While I can't say the same for the dumplings, they were good but the filling lacked the flavor. @lanco.food.dude ”
“ On a snowy winter night, we wanted to try something new and randomly selected Yi Pin from Google. Little did we know that we would stumble upon such a splendid restaurant! Despite its unimposing exterior and unremarkable location along Columbia Ave, this truly is a hidden gem! The restaurant has a special ambience, with decorations and music to welcome guests. Our food was delectable, and the portions were extremely generous. We will definitely return to Yi Pin again soon! ”
