Take out that day, we were all full and plenty of leftovers. Our vegan order was great.
The worst Chinese food ever. I spent 110.00 for 6 and I could only eat the egg roll and the noodles. The only place that has more salt is the salt flats...never again.
Messed up order, and not the first time. Know others who have ordered here recently with this exact same issue. Order here if you like your time wasted.
Atmosphere: It is very strange that the dining room has been closed since Covid. The management says it due to lack of staff. There are lots of students and others in town looking for work. It look terrible from the street with the dining room closed. Food: I choose the deluxe dinner for 2. The food was primitive and below average. The vegetable/almond chicken was just greens with no colour (pees, celery, peppers). There was little seasoning. General chicken was very soupy and not sweet at all. Completely unlike the typical in a bad way. There is a reason why this restaurant has a low 3.7 rating. Please try to do better, it not that hard!!
Tonight we called right at 7:30 not realizing that it was closing time. Thankfully they made our order happily. When I arrived to pick up our order she informed me that the egg rolls were possibly not up to par. I said thats np and took my food back home to enjoy our dinner. When I arrived home I immediately tried an egg roll and to our absolute horror they were actually the best egg rolls weve ate in a long time. Apon trying the rest of our food we came to the conclusion this was the best batch of food weve eaten from there and we are return customers. They went above and beyond with service for us and we cant thank you enough for this. This is what small towns and Family businesses are about. 5 stars in our books
My first time trying Yin's pick-up. Ordering by phone was pleasant. Easy parking right in front or across the street at the park. Food was ready on time. Spotless inside, proprietors were welcoming, nice selection, food cleanly packaged and solid storage containers. Food was piping hot when I got home. All selections delicious, and properly cooked. No need to eat Chinese anywhere else. Lots of leftovers. Place is a winner. Lucy to have this establishment in Port Dover. We'll be back
After the change over to Yin's, there were some bad times, we basically stopped getting food here. However, 2018 we tried it again, wanting to support local, and boy were we surprised and happy. The food was amazing, better than ever. Chicken dishes were fresh, Vegetables were crisp, Shrimp was amazing (and larger then ever, Bonus!), Egg rolls were on point, and the sauces/gravy seemed better than ever. We have gotten their food for 2 weekends in a row now, and I am happy to say, its the first time in a while leftovers were all gone by lunch the next day. 10/10 Yin's, glad you are in Dover, and we will happily order from you every time.
The food here used to be good when it was Lee's. Now that it is Yin's, the quality of the food has gone way down. The staff insist it is the same recipes but it's not or it's just that the ingredients are not the same quality. I have eaten there a few times before this review to try to give them a chance to improve since taking it over. Tonight was the last time. They did not get the order right. Take out food and we did not get one of the dishes we ordered and there was no sauce for the Su guy almond. So it was chicken. If you just want chicken balls and rice and aren't looking for good flavour then this will do. I prefer delicious and fresh. The one star is for their staff who are always nice but sadly the food needs to improve.
Nasty food and bad service
Dietary restrictions: MSG Free option Food
Food was hot and tasted good, but upset stomach thru the night. Will not be returning.
Great Service Great food Food
We are very disappointed we used to love the order from there but now we dont anymore because the portion of the food is very small we wont order from there again
We ordered dinner last night and I just have to say that it was absolutely delicious..
Enjoyed a delightful lunch of Wonton soup
General Tao chicken, mmmm. So good
Great Canadian Chinese food. With so many different restaurants in Port Dover you would think there would be more ethnic places, but other than 4280 Pho which is open about 24 hrs a week, this seems to be the only regular option.
Good Chinese food. Ordered takeout. They only have take- out at the moment.
Not bad Chinese food with decent portions
One of my favourite restaurants! Fast service, amazing staff, amazing quality of food. Overall a great experience. Thank you Yin s!!
Very disappointing. Nothing tasted good. Bring back Lees. New owners failed this place big time.
Love ,love yins,Karen from the kitchen always makes mine a bit different ,thank you so much
Great surface and the food was great.
Awful. No taste Dont waste you time. Rice was burnt with no taste
Definitely not the same great food. Meat Wong ton had very little meat and over cooked. All dishes over cooked very odd tastes to everything. Duck sauce in packets for egg rolls. Upset stomach. Unfortunately we will not be repeat customers again
Called to place an order and didnt realize it was so close to when they closed and I was going to say no dont worry about it but the lady insisted it was fine so I placed my order and when I went and picked it up I was carrying my child in her carseat and they both adored her and the gentleman then took my food order and carried it out to my car for me. Talk about above and beyond service and the food was so tasty too! Highly recommend Yins!!! Great people and great food
We had a good experience at this restaurant we will definitely go back
Ive ordered takeout 2 or 3 times, the latest being Dec 24, 2020. It hasnt improved...its okay but nothing great. Its expensive for barely palatable food
The food quality is very poor for what they charge. The last time I ordered, they forgot to add the shrimp to our shrimp soup. Not impressed!
Good quality food. Quick and friendly service.
Finding my takeout, very bland. Small quantity, for what I paid.
The food was good. Will go again
I enjoy the food here
Too much vegetables and not enough shrimp.
The best Chinese food place in Port Dover!
Always great food
Excellent service and tasting canadian chinese. Best along Simcoe, Delhi, Tillsonburg, Alymer corridor.
Excellent food. Decently fast service
Wonderful food and service
We ordered items from Yins take out menu for the first time since moving to the area. The food was ready when they said it would be available for pick up. Best of all every item we ordered was absolately delicious and probably some of the best Chinese food we have ever had!
Chinese food.
The best Chinese food ever...
I am not sure what it is about Norfolk county but I have not had good Chinese food at any location I have eaten at, yet. Most dishes are filled with lots of celery and very little meat. Dont put Kung Pao on your menu if you dont know how to make it. There is no celery, broccoli, or peas in Kung Pao. The only thing you got right was the hot chilies and they werent even hot. Oh there are peanuts in it to. The few pieces of beef were not marinated either, just the same beef that goes in your other dishes. I believe everyone giving a 5 star review must either work there, no someone who works there, or has never left Norfolk County for Chinese food. If you would like a caucasian to show you how to make Kung Pao, I would be happy to do so. Overpriced, lack of flavor and just plain wrong. Will not go back. I will stick with Asian Kitchen in Hagersville. For a small outfit, they at least know how to make good food.
Put in our take out order (4 things) at 6 pm. They said it wouldnt be ready until 7. No problem. Finally got our order at 725. Got home and it wasnt all there. When I called to ask them to correct the mistake, they told me it was up to me to correct it .. By driving back to pick up the missing item. No discount, no delivery of the missing item. Absolutely back to Hoys in Simcoe.
Yeahhhh....maybe not....the general tso chicken was extremely salty and tasted like Pure oyster sauce.. it was terrible 90%. The chicken was good quality and fried well however. The sauce was very unappealing. To the point I didn t eat any. Their shanghai noodle is 30% good. The noodle is well cooked and veg is crisp and that s about it I think..sauce tastes like saliva and msg. (Even if I did order vegetarian) Also the meat is dry and flavourless. There s no doubt these two items were not worth $30.00 today. Thanks, Amanda
Food was very good. Better than their Waterford location. Service there is horrible.
Had take out Sept 24th and all the food was excellent. Fresh, hot and the counter service was also friendly and professional.
Make sure you check your bag before you leave.
Waited 45 minutes for bill.
We probably wont go back. The food was ok.... Not much chicken in the chicken Chow Mein or the chicken, vegetables and almonds, and it was all dark meat. The poor waitress was run off her feet with no help and the phone just kept ringing, loudly. She had to serve all the tables, answer the phone, get the take out orders from the kitchen and bring them to the front, clear tables etc . She was literally running the whole time. She definitely need help, even if it was just someone you answer the phone. The one in Waterford is much better.
It was just ok! Large portions! Not bad for what you pay for! Wouldnt go back!
Love this place as always , good chinese food
Ordered combo for 1 with sub good size chicken inside the balls and ordered general Tao (chicken nuggets ) in sauce but it was to go and sauces were mixed red sauce and the Tao. Worst part I got burnt rice and extra oil. Made everything bad. Not sure if I want to give them a second chance but has potential to be better with the less oil and burnt food.
Lemon chicken is little pieces of chicken and too much batter.
Food good but I ordered takeout an hour ago and people that orders 10 minutes ago have food
Easily the worst chinese food I have ever eaten. I have ordered multiple times thinking I may have just caught them on an off day but the food repeatedly tastes stale. Lees had the best lemon chicken but once it switched over to a Yins the chicken became chewy and tough, and tasted very processed. Hardly any beef in my beef fried rice as well. I wont be ordering again.
Wow! The curry chicken was amazing! Ordered it with the intention of having it for tomorrows meals, but after trying it as a snack it barely made it!! It will be tonights dinner now instead, what is left over that is!!
They have good Chinese food, prices and quality, we get it from them periodically.
The server acted like it was a inconvenience to serve us because it was the last hour of operations and the food was lacking freshness
Good food, not greasy or salty like most Chinese restraunts. Could use a fresh coat of paint on the walls.
Food was tasty. Average size portion. Restaurant was small but very clean. I look forward to trying their lunch combos on a future visit.
Food was good
The best!
Does not do the name justice
Good food, clean, freindly courteous staff.
The food and service is really good. We had a lovely time.
Food taste bland and the portions are smaller . prices are up . Loved it when it was Lee . will not order from again . pleasant wotkers though
I was there to order a large Won Ton soup for take out for lunch. I was served by a very polite young woman. The soup was excellent, as always. I live in Port Dover and am a regular customer of Yins.
As a Asian man I approve the quality of Chinese food at this place! The owners were nice enough to give me an additional set of noodles after accidentally giving me the wrong order! I usually eat here for lunch as my go to and love it every time! Be sure to check out their lunch special combo on the weekdays.
Waited for 15 minutes with no service in an empty restaurant...
Enjoyed the dinner for 3 meal even though there was only 2 of us. Had lots of leftovers to take home. Food was tasty, fresh and served hot.
Service was excellent, food was excellent. Ive had plenty of chinese food ( no the mandarin doesnt count) and Id happily put these guys up near the top!
amazing as always
Best Chinese food ever....friendly staff..portions are huge...especially if you eat in then take the rest to go. Happily made the drive to Waterford. Welcome to Port Dover.
Food was great. Awesome lunch special.
Not like it used to be food didnt seem as fresh
We were very disappointedwith the food. The Hot & Sour soup has changed as have the Egg Rolls. We found the food dry and the flavour was terrible. I miss Lees. Wont be going back until I hear that the old recipes are being made again.
Good food
Presley was a awesome waitress-took orders, answered the phone,friendly and attentive...food was fresh and cooked perfectly
Sorry. Before it was Yin s the food was great. Now that it sYin s the food quality has declined. Gave them three chances. But they struck out. Bring back your old menu and food quality but I won t know you did it as I won t order again.
One waitress. She was so busy. Decent food. Hot but not their best. Too stressful watching the waitress run around. Phone constantly ringing. Prices are higher since it became Yins . No Senior discount. Expensive.
Wonderful food, large portions, great wait staff, excellent experience, love it here, take out was just as great fast service, absolutely perfect!
You wont find authentic Chinese food here, but it is a good affordable place to eat. The food is great and the service is very fast.
Good food

Quality food for a great value! Recent revovations and new management have lead to stellar improvements! Atmosphere is casual and cool, and the service is great as well. All waitresses are super cute to! Average menu price of $10 will provide you with a filling, flavorfull eating experiance. This place is Phillafresh approved!
Always, always, always fresh, hot and delicious. Also, the service is outstanding and the price is very affordable. We dont go anywhere else for Chinese.
Yummy food
The only option but better to drive on.
Great food, Chinese cuisine, fast service and takeout.
Lees is fantastic! We dont go anywhere else for Chinese food! Great food, great prices, excellent service!!
The service is TERRIBLE. I order take out every week and I tip the deliverer generously and lately theyve messed up EVERY simple order and do not even apologize when i bring it to their attention. The delivery lady is so rude. I was once a regular customer and now i am NEVER ordering from here again.
