It was my first visit which did not went very well in terms of service and the attitude of the owner or the manager whoever it was. The food was served after an hour or more. But the food was good. It is over a 35 years old restaurant with aged waitors and so is their service and attitude but again its an old school type restaurant so its ok.

Extremely pathetic dining experience. Not at all a fine-dining vibe despite their pricey menu and dim lit atmosphere.
Firstly, the seating arrangement is too congested, you cannot be seated or move out without bumping a few diners here and there.

Secondly, service was poor. Waiters are least bothered about customers concerns and you have to shout out every time you need their attention. Excessive delay in serving food and billing as well.

Thirdly, the food portion was too small. We paid Rs 2500 per head, we left the restaurant almost empty stomach (we are not bulk eaters).
Also, the quality was deeply compromised: all I could taste in fried prawn balls was flour paste and chickpeas. Sizzling chicken was not tasty at all and Rs 1000 rice was hardly sufficient for the appetite of one person.

Lastly, there was an error in the bill (over charging). Couldn't expect this from an old restaurant having a customer reputation.

Would never prefer to go there next time. Absolutely not !

Old school Chinese food... still tastes and smells like when I was a kid. The restaurant, its cooks and staff have stayed the same in 40 years (or more). We ordered wonton soup - amazing! Followed by beef with veg, egg fried rice, and American chosuey. Everything was delicious and didn't need any additional sauces, etc. It's not a fancy place but the food is good. For three adults, our bill was a little over PKR 4000.

Alright... That was fabulous.... After such a long time I am writing a review wholeheartedly... The food there was amazing, fresh, tasty, authentic chinese and simple...

The ambience was too good... What I found interesting was that almost 80% of their customers were aged about 40+ goes to show that its authenticity and taste has been this good for a long time...

I really liked their prawn chilli dry as the prawn were fresh and well cooked... Their chicken chowmein was awesome as well as it held all the tenderness and juiciness of the chicken all too well and not to forget their special hot and sour soup which carried shrimps, chicken and tons of other things...

Its been a pleasure to visit this heavenly place for food and really appreciate the quality they are serving....

Had a sudden plan of lunch with wife today post shopping so opted for the oldest and somewhat famous Yuan Tang today. Its located on a street just behind Aerosoft store in a bungalow. The outside is old style with roadside parking.

Indoor dining is somewhat candid with classical dim lighting (suggestive of oriental cuisine) with paintings and mirrors all around.

Coming to the food and the reason im rating it 3 stars is that they dont have any deal for 1 or 2 persons and all dishes are served full (no single bowl of soup and no single chicken curry served with rice). All are separately ordered

I opted for Chicken Chilli with vegetables and Chicken fried rice alongwith drinks and both were costly (serving size is ok)

Popular in chinese community living in Karachi and closes at 3pm (starting from noon) only to be reopened again at 7pm

Overall recommended a try 👍

First of all the ambience was really good and vintage looking. It was really busy which really affects in service as there was a lot of waiting first for the table then for the order. Now comes the food which was really Good and authentic Chinese, we loved the food but I think it was a bit pricey as well. Overall it was a good experience.

Wow what going back in the time and memories 📝. I was a little skeptical going back after very long time, but first look at the entrance and just right after walk into the restaurant. 😯 wow

I went after an years, customer service, menu and test all was great as expected. So ordered Kung-Pao Chicken with plan rice 🍚. And steamed-Fry dumpling 🥟. Both dishes were great in tests and value for money. Also was more enough for 2 people.

So we went again for-second time and ordered chicken chilly “ well! Was a little 🥵hot“ i hope chicken staff or chef give some option to customized the test accordingly.

Again i would definitely go back again in next trip.
So great job 👏

Yuan Tung is one if the oldest Chinese Restaurants in Karachi. Must be operating for the last 40 plus years.
I am a regular customer here. The taste is consistently good.

Dry Prawns with chillies are lip-smacking.

Sweet and sour prawns and chicken both are highly recommended.

Dry beef chilli is not to be missed.
