This is a good spot to head if you are looking for chinese food in Wayne/Radnor. People will tell you it's much better than it is, but I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. A little better than average. Definitely not a risky meal.

I received $100 gift card to YangMing in a raffle and was really excited to go, considering they were named the "No. 1 Chinese Restaurant in America". Hmmm. The front house service was nice and welcoming, and we had no problem getting a table for a late dinner on a Saturday (it was empty except for us and a larger party). It's more expensive than your average Chinese food, and I get that it's basically that but with more "presentation." The food wasn't bad by any means, just more restaurantized than my favorite Chinese takeaway. The steamed dumpling appetizer was quite good, and I probably could have just stopped there and used it as an entree. It was only a couple months ago, but I can't remember exactly what I ordered for an entree, which is never a good sign (meaning that the food was forgettable.) I'm fairly certain I got the sweet and sour pork, and I'm fairly certain that it was just OK. Boyfriend and I were both a little bummed that sweet and sour chicken was not a menu option, but I guess that was them trying to fancify the menu. I was excited for the chocolate toffee torte on their online menu, but when we went, they didn't have it. I can't remember what we got for dessert instead, but I don't remember it being too mind-blowing.Also, the booth seating was really uncomfortable. It like propelled you forward into the table and didn't leave much sitting room. The service was mostly absent, even though there were almost no diners in the restaurant.So, don't get me wrong, it's good food. Better than average food, in fact. But there was just an extra special-ness that I was expecting from the top Chinese food restaurant in the country (really?!) that wasn't there. I still have half my gift card left, so I'm going again, but this time I know to focus on the appetizers. I may try the Buddha's Delight, because that does sounds quite good.

Nice staff, broad choices on menu but absolutely overpriced. We had a steak and short ribs entree cooked right but tasteless. Two people and with tip 90 dollars...for chinese....not worth it. Furthermore, during a prior problem visit they offered us gift certificates rather than taking something off the bill. They dont give ANY change or credit even if you spend even a cent under the amount of the gift certificate. Seems like a racquet. We'll use the gift certificates then get back to Sang Kee in Wynnwood where you can get authentic chinese food and with management which isnt just in it for the buck

MY PARTNER MADE RESERVATIONS AT YOUR RESTAURANT FOR 7PM ON JANUARY 21ST. WHEN WE ARRIVED WE WERE SEATED IMMEDIATELY. THE WAIT STAFF WAS VERY EFFICIENT A POLITE. OUR APPETIZERS WERE VERY GOOD, THE SOUP WAS DELICIOUS. MY PARTNER ORDER THE SWEET AND SOUR PORK WITH WATER CHESTNUTS ADDED, IT CAME WITH CASHEWS. HE SENT IT BACK IN JUST A FEW MINUTES IT CAME BACK TO THE TABLE WITH IT LOOKED LIKE A FULL CAN OF WATER CHESTNUTS AND JUST THROWN ON THE PLATE. NO PRESENTATION WHAT SO EVER. I HAD GEN'L CHOAS CHICKEN AND IT WAS GOOD. IT WAS MY PARTNERS BIRTHDAY AND THE GIRL THAT TOOK THE RESERVATION NOTED THAT IN THE RESERVATION. ANY FIRST CLASS RESTAURANT OF YOUR CALIBER WOULD HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT WITH A SMALL AND SIMPLE DESSERT, COMPLIMENTARY FROM THE RESTAURANT. I WAS MOST SURPRISED, BEING VOTED THE BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT IN AMERICA 2011. I CERTAINLY HOPE YOU CAN TAKE COMMENTS AND BUILD ON THEM. I KNOW YOU ARE ALWAYS BUSY BUT I THINK YOU HAVE MORE WORK TO DO TO BE A #1 RESTAURANT IN AMERICA. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME TO READ MY COMMENT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. SINCERELY, WAYNE BARNWELL

this place sucks like dick

Yangming, with its soft lighting, busy bar and dearth of red dragons, is not your average suburban Chinese restaurant. The atmosphere and the food are much more sophisticated than one might expect away from the city in staid Bryn Mawr. ...?

its at an elite level. The decor is certainly better than your average Chinese restaurant, but I personally opt for take-out. Its just a little too dark and dreary, and the service level can be inconsistent. Please note that the current features listing is ...?

Superb appetizers, especially spring rolls and crab cake. Soup and entree good: Manchurian chicken and soft-shelled crabs. Dessert very good-hazelnut-chocolate mousse. Server superb. ...?

My wife and I had our wedding reception at Yang Ming. Being we only had about 100 guests so people were not scrunched into a tight fitting area. I still have people that went to my wedding tell me it was the best food they've ever had for a ...?

ten years now, and I'm rarely disappointed. We make the 50-mile drive over once every couple of months. The crabcakes are exceptional. Though there's one particular matre d' who can be a little off-putting, the service in general is first-rate. So many restaurants could learn ...?

We booked a table for 5 on a weekend night, and when we arrived, there was no table available. They attempted to seat us in a booth that typically seated 2!!! When we declined the seat, we were asked to wait for about 20 mins further, ...?

Not only does the food here differ, the company too. Everywhere you look, you can see families gathering together, friends going out for a drink, or people meeting to discuss business. For us, it was family outing. There are chairs in ...?

I've been going to YangMing for years, and am always pleased with the food and service. The ambiance is excellent as well, but I care more about the food and how/when it arrives. I've never had anything there I didn't like - the worst I ...?

The crispy spring rolls and mushroom dumplings are great appetizers. The four flavor beef is very interesting but very tasty, too. The prices are a little more than a regular chinese restaurant, but they have many different entrees and a ...?

We eat a lot of Chinese food and have tried all the local places. Yangming is by far the best Chinese/Asian restaurant on the Eastern Main Line. Upscale atmosphere so dress up a little when you come here. Its pricey, but worth it. ...?

food" that is heavy on salted sauces, with not the freshed ingredients. This restaurant survives in business based on "Mainline tradition" and not based on great food. A poor value for your money. Hoi Choi, down the street is much cheaper, fresher, and more authentic. ...?

The quality has dropped decidedly since our previous visit. My daughter and I had an entrie of shimp and scallops with Chinese vegetables and were very disappointed. The dish was tasteless and what was offered as scallops were large whitish ...?

This place is extraordinary. We had a wonderful meal here when they had a chef visiting from China during the Beijing Summer Olympics. Yangming never disappoints. ...?

you a table if you call ahead, or better yet - make a reservation. We feel the food is well-priced, is both consistent and good, and they'll work with you for special preparations. ...?

local Chinese places, but often worth it. The problem is that sometimes YangMing is not up to par and it feels like you've wasted your money. Usually, the specials are intersting and flavorful fusion creations with seasonal touches. The staff is very good, and the decor is main line ...?

it's a nice getaway and not obnoxious as most "palatial" chinese places tend to be. family friendly and also able to fulfill on large orders for home parties, though i rather favour the cozy decor and ambiance ...?

Just average chinese in a pretty package. Sure, they seem to have a decent seafood menu, which is nice and unusual for chinese, but if you want really good chinese for about the same price, go to suzanna foo or margaret kuo. far, far better!?
