Frommer's Review

Open for more than 30 years, family-operated Yang Chow is one of Downtown's most popular Chinese restaurants. It's not the dining room's bland and functional decor that accrues accolades; what makes Yang Chow so popular is an interesting menu of seafood specialties complementing well-done Chinese standards. After covering the Mandarin and Szechuan basics -- sweet-and-sour pork, shrimp with broccoli, moo shu chicken -- the kitchen leaps into high gear, concocting zesty dishes such as sautéed pork shreds with spicy garlic sauce, hot and spicy whole fish, and spicy Hunan beef. The key to having a terrific meal is to first order the house specialties -- Slippery Shrimp and plump steamed pork dumplings -- and then ask for recommendations from your server.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
