I have been going to this restaurant since I was a teen. One of the staff taught me how to use chopsticks there. The food is always great, and very fresh. Love the General Tao's chicken, very addictive. The interior could use an update for sure, looks like a little greasy spoon, but serves the best Chinese in the city. I come into the city from the country to eat here (35 min drive)!
If you go you have to try the Scallops and chicken with snow peas, comes in a beautiful fried noodle pedestal bowl. Very good, lots of meat, scallops, ginger and peas. To Die For! -

From the outside Yang Sheng looks run down, yet authentic, they have ducks hanging in the window and advertisements for dim sum etc.
I keep wanting to like this place since they are one of the few Chinese places that deliver in my neighbourhood... But I just can't. EVERY dish I've ordered from here is gross. To name a few things I ordered the 3-4 times I was there: thai chicken with potatoes, vegetable dumplings, sweet and sour chicken, general tso's chicken, rice, eggroll etc. The general tso's chicken tasted like it was cooked in peanut butter and red food colouring, no spice at all, the chicken was also really fatty and barely edible. The thai chicken was also disgusting, the chicken was also pure fat (with a few pieces of bone) and undercooked potatoes. The sweet and sour chicken is 90% batter and 10% chicken in a watered down sweet and sour sauce.
And to top it off, the 2/4 times I was hungry enough for this place to appeal to me, I got delivery off of an online ordering site which allows you to tip the driver online, which I did, and both times different drivers demanded cash on top of the electronic tip I gave them.
I don't know, some of their dishes sound crazy and exotic and maybe if I wasn't so allergic to things from the sea I would try one of their more exotic dishes. I think their menu caters more to Chinese-Canadians that want a taste of home.
Maybe the only plus to this place (for me) is that whenever I'm inside I like to pretend I'm in a restaurant in China. That's fun if you're like me and have the imagination of a 5 year old.Listed in: Asian food

I'd say that the food at Yang Sheng is probably better than most Ottawan Chinese. But they are awfully slow and expensive. The dive-like atmosphere is on par with most other Chinese restaurants. Not that there's a lot of tough competition in Canada's capital.
It was decent enough food that I came back. There was a sign about dim sum on the window, and I had been craving some char siu bao... so I got two orders! Again, it took a long, long time to get my food. Unfortunately, my two orders had only two baos each (4 total) and cost nearly $8. Yikes!! At home on the West Coast, I could buy a few *dozen* for the same price! hmm. At least they were tasty?Listed in: Food, eh?!

I went here the other night with some friends for a friends goodbye dinner. We were a group of five and we made a reservation ahead of time, though we wouldn't have needed to, since it was a weekday.
They brought us tea right away and then we went about deciding what to order. At first we were picking individual dishes, but then realized that the dinner for four came with several dishes, as well as soup and spring rolls to start.
The wonton soup was delicious, especially since it was a cold night. It was a great appetizer.
Then they brought out the main plates. We had fried rice, cashew shrimp, chicken with snow peas, szechuan beef and sweet and sour pork.
We had wondered if a dinner for four would be enough for five of us, but we couldn't even finish it all, we were stuffed when we finished.
They brought us fortune cookies and the bill and didn't mind when we split it up.
The service was very good and fast. -

Yang Sheng is open late, offers delivery, and has a pretty wide selection of items on their menu, making it a really popular restaurant in Chinatown among locals and students.
They have all kinds of Cantonese and Szechuan foods, including dim sum, many different soups, rice and noodle dishes, and vegetarian, meat, and seafood dishes, and even bird's nest, a Chinese delicacy. My favorites include any of their sizzling plates, moe-she pork, and roasted duck.
All of their dishes are very savory and flavorful. They are also very reasonably priced and the portions are large. The service has always been fast and friendly, regardless of the time or day, or how big or small our group is. -

The was the first Chinese restaurant that would do delivery on Monday night so I went with it. The food cold, which was my own fault--I gave them the wrong hotel room number. Dammit. Anyway, the roast duck was tasty and very meaty. The yi mein was very good but they forgot the pork I asked for. The crisp won tons were greasy and strange----like huge deep friend pasta wings with a little package of pork (not much and not tasty). Considering it was cold (again, my fault) and Monday and I was starving it was not bad. I would probably go to the restaurant and give it a try if I lived in Ottawa.

I found two hairs in my beef. Not the same bite, awhile apart.
