The most delicious Chinese in the area. Love!
Personal favs: crispy chicken and salt & pepper prawns. Beyond!
I drive miles to eat here and get take-aways, it’s that good.

Recently discovered this place and I’m really enjoying their menu. Love their Mapo Tofu as well as the Black Bean Chicken. Give this place a try.

I've been coming here for 5 years and the food is always consistently great! Whether it's getting quick take away or eating in, Yung Chen is always on my list for Chinese food. Their black pepper beef is fantastic, best I've had in The country!!

Okay so I'm a big fan of the Yung Chen restaurants. They make the most delicious Chinese cuisine. The service is always super friendly and the food is consistently good.

Would definitely recommend trying them out! 🍜🍲

For years we felt compelled to only go to the Chinatown in Bruma for a good, well made, traditional Chinese food. Upon stumbling on this small and secluded jem, our first taste of the pork and beef fried rice, we were hooked.

A weekly staple in our home. Yung Chen is absolutely delicious and the best fast food Chinese food I have had in Johannesburg. Tasty, fresh and so good!

Great little chinese resteraunt! Located in a small centre just across the road from melrose arch. The food is always fresh and the service is always great! Variety of options - single portions and sharing portions available. We had the beef chop suey - super tasty and its served with the most divine veges! The spring rolls are served in a portion of 4 - the chicken spring rolls were delicious! Seating available, but they do an enormous amount of takeaway orders.

Some of the best Chinese food I've had in a long time! As you can see in the photos, I couldn't help myself 😁. The pics definitely do not do the food justice. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Probably the only Chinese takeout place I would eat from. Being Chinese myself, I'm usually extremely fussy in picking a place for Chinese food. Their service is fast and I've yet to have a badly prepared meal from this place. Some of my favorites are: fried wonton with sweet chili sauce, beef in blackpepper and chicken chow mien.

This is a family run Chinese restaurant and take away. I am a long supporter of the owner of this business as he passionate, friendly and really puts a lot of effort into his business.

Nothing is every too much a request to fill and I always enjoy my meal here which is usually in the form of a take away. For meat eaters it is recommended that you try the crispy beef / chicken or black pepper on the menu otherwise there is a good selection for vegetarians from noodles to veggies and a filling Foo Yung (Chinese omelette).

Even though meals do not necessarily come with rice or noodles then you can order this separately as their prices are not too bad. If you are lucky and there is some tofu available, then Johnny can make one of the best crispy and spicy tofu dishes in Joburg.

Great Chinese takeout. Crispy beef is always on point.

Bob Ilgner

Excellent Chinese fare . Chinese owners with Zim support crew. All nice people. Takeaway orders can be hazardous as some Cantonese interpretation takes place. My recommendation is the Yung Chen noodles with a little chilli.

Justin Gribble

Delicious and quick Chinese food. I recommend the Black Bean with Beef or any of the chow meins They also serve sushi, pricing looked very good

John Lin

Perfect for single meals, its full for adult. Recommend to order no.4:chopsuey, that is enough for your daily vegetable and meat needs.

Miguel Chan

One of the most reliable and authentic Asian cuisine cook with consistency, been going for over 6 years now, their wonton soup is one of the best in the whole Johannesburg and their beef chow main and chicken chop suey are equally very good Their side of red chilli sauce is awesome with any of the above #MiguelChan
