Basic window-serve spot for Chinese eats. Simple window-serve pit stop featuring a large menu of Chinese, Mexican & American eats.
Amazing food!! Prices look to have changed from the menus posted already. Did not have a chance to take a photo of it. Well worth the price and portions you get. Seems like more a “locals” spot which makes it’s great! Does take while on the wait, I would say about 20-30min. If you have the chance to park closer to the widow area, do it. They don’t have indoor seating, so they call out your number with an intercom. Loved it! Spot worth checking out.
Don't get me wrong. The food is delicious. The reason why they get one star is because they take so damn long to serve the food and every week the price changes. Again. The food is amazing. The service and prices are absolutely trash. If you love waiting when your in a rush, this is the place for you. I waited an hour today for 2 egg rolls and a cream puffs. ? smh. Good luck.
Horrible tasteless presentation sucks everything is in a styrofoam plate besides the white rice. I've never had a pre made egg fu young patty thats 1in thick and rectangular shape gravy was watery. the jalapeno chicken was gross chicken covered in chili flakes feathers all over the chicken big pieces of chicken just tasteless. I just donated money my kids didn't even want it!! I will be reporting this place!
I tried Liyuen on a whim as it was the highest rated Chinese food restaurant in the area I happened to be visiting, but I was so happy I did! The food was delicious. The noodles and chicken I got were both amazing. And to the top it off the price for the amount of food you receive is an excellent deal. The only criticism I have have is that it takes about 15-20min from the time you order to get your food. As far as I can tell it's take out only, and as you can see from the picture it's not much to look at from the outside either. It did seem like you could phone ahead and order before you arrive and I would suggest doing this if possible. Parking can also be tricky as it seemed to be street parking only. I highly recommend you give this to place a try if you have a chance.
Must get jalapeño fried chicken wings and fried rice combo!!! The bomb!!! Wait may be long but worth it.
So, the food is phenomenal and though the accents are heavy, and the wait is long, the customer service is friendly. The spot is not for the faint of heart though, especially at night. This is Phoenix and it LOOKS like a dive. If you are interested in appearances, theb steer clear BUT if that hole in the wall atmosphere doesn’t bother you and you love great food, friendly and diverse customers (I met so many cool people in line), and you don’t mind waiting a few extra minutes to get well worth the cost you paid then have your next Asian food experience at Liyuen. And ORDER AHEAD if you’re in a hurry! ?
I am from the East Coast where Chinese food is beyond exceptional. I stopped eating Chinese when I moved to AZ from the nasty taste. This place has given my hope! The food was hot fresh and delicious. Very affordable and good customer service. I got shrimp egg foo young and shrimp & broccoli w/ fried rice. So good. The best I had in past 5 years! Come try it you won't be disappointed. ?????
Speedy, considerate, smells good in the kitchen, they use real ingredients in their food and it's the best orange chicken I've had in phoenix so far. The aroma of the food is to die for. I can see why everyone is buzzing about this place.
