Yat Son Restaurant

Nice out of the way spot. Unable to check my order before I leave they staple the bag shut. Get it home and my pork noodles are actually wontons and it’s 23 mile round trip so didn’t get $20 of food.

Very nice staff and great service. Comfy atmosphere like a home town cafe which was odd for a Chinese place but it worked. Prices were very reasonable. However the food was just ok. I think most of it was homemade like the egg rolls and won tons which was a plus but they were just average. I had some chow mein and it was mostly celery and a couple water chestnuts. The wife got chicken almond sub gum and the veggies were all celery. The egg fu yung was tasty but was just not awesome like I would expect being homemade.

The only vegetables you get is a ton of celery and 2 slices of red peppers. The 3 little bites of chicken is boiled and dry. The best part is the brown rice.

Open only Thursday and Fridays. i ordered food to go. I got the Chow Mein with Fried rice and an egg roll. The celery in the chow mein was bitter and the chicken was sparse and pre-cooked and kept warm. the egg roll was very dry and greasy. this is my third try at this restaurant, we need a good Asian Restaurant in the Helena area, but this isn’t it.

To me, leaving a negative review is a difficult decision. On one hand I want to let people know of my experience, but on the other hand I feel for small family owned businesses especially in the service industry.

To say the food was some of the worst we’ve ever had is not an exaggeration. The kung pao had peanuts, and the sauce def was not kung pao sauce. The chicken was precooked and cold and some of the toughest meat I’ve ever had. The Fried chicken was raw and the batter wasn’t even cooked all the way through. The sweet and sour dipping sauce must have been out of a packet and sitting under a
