A super down-to-earth and friendly family-owned restaurant. One of my favorite things about this spot is the couches--you don't usually find that in restaurants, and my friend and I love coming here just for that. We're always on the lookout for cozy, relaxing places, and while we usually end up at cafés, expanding our search led us to Yan's Garden. I always order the soup dumplings when I visit, and this time, I also tried the boba--it was delicious! They offer water or tea, and since it was a cold, rainy January night, we went with tea, which made for the perfect cozy vibe. The prices are also really reasonable. Highly recommend!

I'm not usually big on Chinese food because of the salt and oil. I have to say that not one dish we ordered was overly salty and had little to no oil. The sauce was silky and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. Delicious

*Parking: Located in downtown San Carlos, it's street parking only. *Experience: We arrived around 6:30pm and was seated immediately. Restaurant definitely started getting busy at dinner time as most tables became occupied. This is a mom & pop Chinese restaurant ran by a family of Cantonese speakers, so I felt right at home. Service was super friendly and efficient. The drinks range from boba to alcoholic beverages like beer and wine. There's literally something for everyone! *Food: Since it was only my husband and I, we ordered two main dishes and a bowl of steamed rice. The general's chicken was very flavorful and paired perfectly with the steam rice as to balance your palette. The salt & pepper porkchop was good and on the healthier side as there is no msg. Both main dishes were solid if you're craving some Chinese food. The steam rice was the only thing that was subpar as it did not taste or look like fluffy fresh jasmine rice. I have been quite skeptical about coming here but was glad we tried it! We will definitely be back to try other things, and perhaps even the boba!

Yan's Garden is definitely a one-stop shop for all your asian cuisine needs. From boba tea and pot stickers to Mu Shu pork and Pineapple Chicken fried rice, this place has truly got you and your taste buds covered from beginning to end. I stopped in recently with my boyfriend for dinner and we had such an excellent experience. I love the family-run dynamic of this place... They're a fast-paced bunch and very efficient!The food here is not only prepared with the freshest of ingredients, but its also bountiful in portion and you can't beat the homemade taste! We shared between the two of us practically a whole feast... but enough for lunch leftovers the following day. Based off what we ate, i'd highly recommend: Hot & Sour soup, BBQ Pork Buns, Honey Walnut Chicken and Orange chicken. I also paired the meal with a black sugar milk tea and that was delicious--an absolute must, for the next time you visit. Long story short--the food and the service is above par and you can't beat the bang for your buck here. The menu is plentiful so the possibilities are endless. I look forward to future stops here!

I haven't ordered the food here yet BUT I have stopped in for the boba many times. They have such a unique boba tea menu from mango pomelo sago to tiramisu lattes along with regular boba tea options as well. I'm way more impressed with their boba tea menu and quality than Boba Guys right across the street. There is also a convenient little kiosk at the front where you can input your order which is nice if you're an introvert, are indecisive, or have anxiety ordering things (lol). My only complaint is that I've tried ordering the boba online for pick up a couple of times and the system hasn't worked for me. I'll input my order, get ready for check out, and as soon as I input my card and press finish it says "oops there is an issue". I tried a few different cards (and know my credit cards are fine) and it still does this. Not sure if that's an issue on my end with internet, etc. but it's happened a couple of times. So I'll mostly just order in person and it's fine. The restaurant side has a mom and pop family feel to it. I'll have to try the food sometime soon!

So glad we finally ordered. We live in the neighborhood and have had some hit-or-miss experiences with Chinese (with one exception also on Laurel St that's always good). I had picked up a menu on one of many walks along Laurel and it was on our fridge for a while. The menu is pretty extensive. We ordered for pickup through the app just to make sure we got it right. I had the Spicy Mango Chicken and loved it. Just a little bit of spice and sweet. We also had pot stickers that were just the right level of freshness and not doughy, just a great mouth of flavor. Everything seemed expertly cooked, nothing too oily/greasy, sauces tasted fresh. We'll definitely be back for order or to stop by and dine-in.

Whenever we come and stay for the weekend, we always make it a point to come here. We were so excited to eat here again however this time it was just meh. You can tell right off the bat the girl who was taking our order didn't want to be there. Maybe she was having a bad day or something. Either way okay understandable, but then when we got our food,1. We got the wrong item2. The wontons were on the cold side, usually they're hot 3. The rice was blandWe'll give it another try before we decide to step away

This is my friends and I go-to spot for Chinese food in San Carlos! The food is always solid and the service is impeccable. In addition, you get a coupon for $15 that is valid for 60 days if you spend at least $100. We're a group of 6 people and have never had issues getting seating on Saturday or Sunday nights. The food is somewhere is a mix between authentic Chinese and Americanized Chinese, so it caters to both the Asian and the American crowd. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot!
