I had to register now just to put my 2 cents in on Yan's though, among others. \n\nI was quite surprised by a few harsh reviews on Yelp for Yan's and I really disagree with nearly all of the negativity.\n\nThe host guy at the front counter is a wanna-be comedian, but it's all in good fun. A restaurant should be reviewed and judged by it's food first though, and this is probably the best Asian restaurant West of 101 and certainly the best in Goodyear and Avondale that we've had. \n\nI've eaten at hundreds of Asian restaurants all around the country and was pleasantly surpised when Yan's opened. They have a respectable hot and sour soup, excellent sized portions and the food is all freshly cooked to order. The Mongolian Beef has better quality meat than most and is very good. They even had Asians doing the cooking, can't find that at PeiWei or Panda, etc. these days.\n\nDo yourself a favor, try this place for yourself. If you don't like the relatively simple, but clean, decor then take it home to eat."^^ . "2009-09-12T00:00:00"^^ . "2"^^ .
