Fay Yin Restaurant

Disgusting! The food was dried out. Fried rice tasted and looked like it was cooked days ago. The foods are greasy all over. There are only about 12 choices for food. Just the basic essentials to be even called a Chinese restaurant. The teriyaki chicken tasted like it was expired or close to spoiled. That’s just the food. The restaurant itself looks like it’s somebody’s dining room. There’s stacks and stacks of Chinese newspapers on the table where the stacks of plates and bowls were and there seems to be random stuff just placed throughout the dinning room. If that’s how the dinning room looked like I can’t imagine how disorganized or dirty their kitchen looks like. At least it’s cheap I don’t know how they were able to get a grade A by the health department when it should be a D. I will never EVER eat here again. So gross!

The best Chinese food in town! I’ve lived in McFarland mostly all my life and now I live 30 mins away :(but when I come to visit I leave with some Fay Yin! My husband isn’t from McFarland but when we married and lived there for 3 years together this was his favorite place and still is! Their orange orange chicken, chow mien, broccoli beef, egg rolls, sweet and sour shrimp is what I get and my husband loves their salt and pepper shrimp! But everything is delicious! The owners are nice and friendly! So don’t let the outside discourage you from going inside. You will not be disappointed! Lol, even when I was pregnant this was my number one pick! I cried when I didn’t have it lol hormones!!! But I love it!

Diamond in the rough… Was very skeptical of even getting out of the car after parking in front of this place. However we were pleasantly surprised after taking the change. Their food is quite good and the owners, who were taking orders and serving food at the time, are incredibly nice and talkative. The portions are great, food is good, and you can’t beat the price. Orange chicken was perfect and their chow mein and rice were very tasty.

Great service and beats out Panda Express. It is an inviting hole in the wall owned by very special people. They have superb orange chicken and a fantastic arrangement of choices. It is very convenient and close to the 99 so perfect to pass by when on the road.

I will stop here on the way back from yosemite every time. Try ordering off of the menu instead of the buffet. Really nice owners!

Rough on the outside but a polished jewel in the inside.
It doesn’t get more authentic than this, and boy oh boy this topped a lot of the usual chain restaurant food. Just by the look, smell and taste of it anybody with that veteran tongue for food you can tell it was made from scratch.
First glance at this place and you would think you hit a detour or the wrong place but I am at times never too judgmental. It’s a diamond in the rough and deserves more ratings and reviews than what it has. The owner and I had a great conversation and was very social and a happy man. His wife was very nice to me and my family, we didn’t even asked for nothing and everything was offered to us. Down to the refills of soft drinks, extra napkins and to-​go plates. Just by eyeing us they knew what we needed.
Building, interior and menu need all updating really bad but it’s a clean place but feeling you get is that you just stepped into a portal back to 1977 and the BeeGee’s, «Staying Alive» record playing in the background type of feeling.
Back to the food, the food was superb. It was the phenomenal, so many words to describe it. It wasn’t that pre-​cooked, Costco boxed-​Panda Express sauce bottle that you would get at 60% of most restaurants. Food was legit and ranked up to the top five Chinese places I ever went to in my life. Honest to the bone, the emperor would be please.
I rate this place 5.0 for GREAT food and service.

Walking in its very small and almost inclines one to get back into your car and leave. After taking a gamble and trying the food we were amazed. The buffet was delicious, although small and not a lot of choices. The orange chicken and fried rice were extremely fresh and bursting with flavor. Ive been back a few times since my initial visit.

I was very impressed with the food at a really good buffet price during the week, the Egg Rolls were really good and the egg foo young was also very tasty, the place is small but is worth the drive.

Great Chinese food. Well priced, huge portion, and friendly service! Overall great value!

My daughter and I read the Unilocal ratings while on the road halfway between San Diego and Sacramento, and gave it a try. We couldn’t have been more pleased. Their numbered specials were $ 7.95 each, and provided a full plate of fresh, tasty Chinese food – some of the best I’ve had anywhere! Lots of people were coming by to pick up take-​out as we ate, signifying the popularity of their food in this small town along Highway 99. The owners were exceptionally friendly, and the atmosphere ideal for a family. I just wish this place was closer to where I live. Next time I go to San Diego, I’ll take 99 rather than 5, just so I can stop here again!

This place had great food and service. It’s a tiny hole in the wall place right off the fwy. I suggest the salt and pepper shrimp! It’s a bit spicy, but has lots of flavor :-) Nothing here is spot-​on authentic, and they sugar their tea (which is why it got 4 stars) but everything is yummy (everything we tried anyway!)!

The #9 with salt & pepper shrimp is the signature dish. Great food! All fresh and no msg.

This place is the best chinese food you’ll find for miles!!! Great family owned joint. Big portions, freshly made, and cheap. The best orange chicken I’ve ever had.
