Is this restaurant still open? The website (and menu) are gone.

yes

Hello back again!!! I was wondering about the main vegetarian meals. Do they have any dairy or eggs in them? Are they all vegan or could be made vegan? Is there fish sauce in them (can I request it out)? Can I ask for no eggs? Thanks!!!

If they're listed as vegetarian, then they may not be vegan...should probably call them with your concerns...

Dominic QWEA do you work there?

Yes ma'am. Only part time and mainly delivery at this point. I've been with the King Yen for many years.

Sorry for all the questions but what noodles would not be vegan and what are vegan? My apologies I'm just really excited and curious!!! 😊

It's no problem! The noodles for lo mein are actually 'egg noodles' which you can guess is made with egg! (Just confirmed with a cook) However, our chow Mei fun is a angel-hair rice noodle (also gluten free)

Ooo also are your scallion pancakes vegan? What's in them?

Mainly flour and scallion (and spices like salt), King Yen uses vegetable oil as well.

So does your Moo Shu pancakes contain any dairy or eggs in them? What about the veggie rolls as far as the wrapping and sauce go? Yay I'm excited from all the options though!!!

Nope, the pancakes themselves do not, but I believe the dish itself does. (You could always request it out) As for the rolls though, they aren't made from egg, however to get the wrapping to stick properly, they are dipped in egg.

Yes!!! However I'm a vegan so it's different...meaning no eggs, no honey, no meat, no dairy, and no animal byproducts. I was wondering about your noodles and things like veggie chow mein/suey...is that vegan? Are your sauces with the tofu vegan? TY!

When it comes to Vegan options, King Yen is much more limited. The vegetarian chow mein and chop suey are vegan. (Neither of those are noodle dishes by the way, the Lo Mein and Chow Mei Fun are) You can also request things without egg just by requesting it over the phone. They'll tell you if it's possible or not.

You guys seem to have a ton of vegetarian options which makes me very happy but out of those which are vegan or can be made vegan? Are your veggie moo shoo pancakes vegan? Can they be veganized? Thanks for the help!!!

Almost anything can be made Vegetarian! Things like egg rolls, or spring rolls are pre-rolled, so we can't take any of ingredients out of them, but everything else you can request the absence of meat. Our Moo Shu pancakes are flour-based.

I ordered over 25$ worth of food last night to be delivered to my house here in Agawam. I did not notice that night that I had not recieved my duck sauce for my crab ragoon; upon calling them for the duck sauce I was told that I could be a liar and thief because he knows he put the duck sauce in the bag. He told me I would have to come in a get it if I wanted to recieve the sauce. Husband is at work so I guess I get no sauce. They also wont get my money again. If you cannot be honest in fixing YOUR mistake, then you dont need service. Very rude. Disgusting.

We actually love the food but don’t love the attitude. We used Grubhub to order our dinner tonight which all arrived hot minus one order of Hunan tofu. When we called we were given an attitude and told they could not help us. The order they received was different from the order I placed. We were told to contact Grubhub. Then, they HUNG UP on us... So unfortunately they have lost a customer over one order of Hunan tofu.... $9 it’s really too bad!

I've personally HIGHLY recommended this place for YEARS! I have such deliciously fond memories of the sweet and sour pork and the best rice in Western Mass. But, today was the worst I've ever had from them. Granted, I haven't been there in many years, but I have to ask, have they sold?Everything was very, very greasy and bland. I started to panic because I thought my taste buds were going, (covid-19) I actually had someone else taste the same food I was eating. The meat in the chicken wings tasted rancid. I started to nibble on the way home because I was so hungry, and had to throw it out the window, I was gagging.$40 later the only thing I found palatable was the rice, and even that was pretty salty. I have to mention again because it's THAT disturbing to me, the amount of grease was unbelievable. King Yen, what happened today?

We were around the area and decide to try them based on some of the good reviews, but we wish we had gone somewhere else. We ordered a Pupu for 2 and Shrimp LoMein the food came out very very quickly but we quickly figured out why!! All the food was preheated and way overcooked. Either they refried everything or they microwaved it whatever was done to the food made some of it inedible. This is usually our meal of choice as it allows us to eat at the restaurant and have enough leftover to eat later, needless to say we did not wrap anything up and will not be returning. I must said the LoMein was not the best or worst I ever had.

I haven't been there for awhile but decided to stop by for takeout. The food was nicely cooked and the rice was not sticky. It tasted fresh and not overcooked or dry. It has a nice atmosphere too.

GREAT and nice employees.. But the food.. I will probably not order again. Its generic Asian food you can get pretty much anywhere.. Its not bad.. I just like the sweeter tasting rangoons and chicken that tastes and feels more like chicken. The texture is strange. But the service was fantastic.

Some of the best Chinese around. I have been going to this place since it opened next to Food Mart in the 80s. I now drive from East Windsor to get my fix! Even though the ownership has changed, the food has not. Absolutely delicious!

Disgusting and rude attitude and poor service. Went with my mother at about 9:45pm (they close at 11pm), and the man attending to us kept implying, almost insisting that we were getting take out. We proceeded to tell him that we'd like to dine in, which he then told us rudely and bothered if we can make it quick because they close at about 11:45pm and did not seat us either. He isn't even making sense at this point because they close at 11pm. We stood right up from the table and walked right out. Side note: if you decide to eat here you might want to pay cash as well. My friend had an incident there as well in which he paid with his credit card and the waiter decided to tip himself an amount that my friend did not sign off on or consent. Basically stealing money from someone and fraud. The owner and workers in this place need a crash course on customer service and etiquette ASAP.

Quality of food and service went down after ownership changed. We ordered from them regularly and loved it until my husband ordered a meal and it was terrible. He brought the entire meal back to the store for a refund and the owner refused to come out and talk to him. My husband paid over $20 for the meal and left with zero money or food. Not sure that's how you should treat a loyal customer. We will never eat there again.

The american chinese here is pretty generic but good. I ordered only Dragon & Phoenix and Hunan Shrimp from here but they give you a good amount and the flavor was decent. I'll try other stuff next time and I would recommend this place if you're looking for your american chinese fix.

I ordered orange chicken, they ran out of the meat they usually use so they made it using their chicken fingers. Basically got soggy chicken fingers drenched in sauce, not ideal.
