Welcome to Yen Yen Restaurants!

Yen Yen was first established in September of 1988 in Brooklyn, New York. Within three months of its opening, the restaurant was deemed, “The best Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn” by Sylvia Carter, a food critic for the New York Newsday.  At the beginning of 1989, another review written by Ms. Carter, she declared Yen Yen as her #1 choice of favorite restaurants for the year of 1988.  Sequentially, Yen Yen received numerous awards from the local community boards for stimulating the growth of the neighboring businesses.  In May of 1991, Yen Yen was presented with the “Outstanding Small Business Operators in Brooklyn” award at the City Hall from the Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden.

On January 15, 1992, Yen Yen had successfully acquired an English restaurant in Cocoa Beach, Florida, called The Prince of Wales.  In May, the restaurant then renovated and had its name changed to Yen Yen Chinese Restaurant.  About 2 months later, Yen Yen was awarded with the highest rating of “4 Forks” by the Florida Today newspaper, becoming the best Chinese restaurant ever in Brevard County.  Again, in May of 2007, Yen Yen received the same honorable review from the Florida Today.

After selling its sister restaurant, Gin-Seng, which was located in Cape Canaveral, Florida, in November of 2006, Yen Yen opened its 3rd one in Winter Springs, Florida. In May of 2007, Scott Joseph from the Orlando Sentinel newspaper wrote a remarkable review about Yen Yen’s Chinese cuisine and sushi.  He stated that, “Yen Yen’s Chinese food is authentically delicious….”  Since its opening, Yen Yen has earned the highest reputation for introducing a unique and distinctive style of Chinese cooking into the local communities.  In addition, it offers an upscale dining environment coupled with incomparable professional service, Yen Yen ensures that every customer will have a satisfactory return.

The hallmark of our culinary style centers on the delicateness of the sauces and seasonings, contrast in flavors and textures, and an emphasis on the freshness, quality, variety and exoticness of ingredients.  By inspiration and request, Yen Yen has either created or rejuvenated many dishes for its customers.  Snow White Prawn, Shelly's Chicken, Murray's Choice, Veal a la Vitas, Steak Kaplan, and Pumpkin Chicken are a few dishes amongst the most popular revived and exciting special entrees on our menu.  Although innovation and uniqueness are the signature qualities to Yen Yen, many common dishes can also be easily prepared and catered to the various palates of our customers.

Yen Yen is simply not an ordinary Chinese restaurant. Please come in and experience an unforgettable dining experience with us. One visit is worth more than a thousand words!
