"I have dined at many Chinese restaurants throughout my life, and at nearly 70 years old, I have found the best place to be Shan Shan Low on Willow Pass Road in Concord. The food is always fresh and delicious, and I have been a loyal customer for over 28 years. However, on a recent evening out with my wife, we decided to try Yan's Garden. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. We spent over $50 on our meal, only to be served food that was subpar. The lemon chicken was chewy, old, and cold, and the accompanying butter lemon sauce lacked any real lemon flavor. The fried prawns seemed to be of low quality, likely frozen and not fresh. The hot and sour soup was also lacking, with an unidentified ingredient that ruined the taste. The restaurant was practically empty when we arrived, with only the front desk attendant and her children playing in the empty dining area. To make matters worse, they did not even serve hot tea, which I found to be quite surprising for a Chinese restaurant. Overall, I was thoroughly disappointed with the quality of the food and service, and I will not be returning to Yan's Garden in the future."
