Amazing Chinese food! I look forward to keep coming back here to get their food. The food here is so good. The past few times, I got the Hong Kong Style Pork Rib and The Soup Dumplings. Their other menu items have wonderful flavors and spices. Every time I see what other people have ordered, it makes me want to try it. This place is my personal favorite restaurant to get Chinese food.

we were looking for a restaurant that could fill us up and what better option that to go for an asian one (we were looking for rice after all lol) - and so we ended up checking Yi Pin out. When we arrived around 6:40pm the place already had a good number of people and seeing fellow asians dining here was a good sign. Staff and service was good and our food arrived timely. We enjoyed our soup dumplings and pretty much everything we order. The fried rice was delicious and unique, the sautéed cabbage was surprisingly flavorful and the salt and pepper shrimp had a nice crunch. The fried ribs was a crowd favorite as well. The hot pepper pork was quite spicy so will most likely skip that one next time. Overall we had a very satisfying meal and glad we gave the place a go!

A diamond in the rough. I’ve been underwhelmed with a lot of the Chinese restaurants in Lancaster but Yi Pin takes the cake. It’s a Szechuan-style menu and the food is excellent. The lunch specials are super cheap and comes with plenty of food. This place would get a lot more business if they advertised more.

I love going to this place. Small restaurant with home cook vibe to it. Menu is awesome and they have some interesting specials depending on the time of the year. They do serve a few eggplant dishes worth to try.

Can’t believe I’ve been missing out on Yi Pin for so long! Ordered takeout from there recently and everything was flavorful and perfectly spiced. Highly recommend the mapo tofu with pork, eggplant, dry pot chicken and dry chili chicken! I can never get enough of Szechuan food so I will definitely be back to try more menu items.

Very good food. The wait staff are nice. The price is affordable and the quantity is huge. Overall very good experience. It did take them a while to serve the food and it was in random order.

This is the real deal Authentic Chinese cuisine. Fresh and authentic ingredients that you can’t get at cheap shopping plaza restaurants. Try some of the chefs specials if you want to go on a food adventure!

Awesome authentic Szechuan food!! If you use a little discretion when ordering (don't pick the Americanized stuff), you can really get some amazing dishes. I happen to like dishes that feature eggplant, wood ear mushrooms, and steamed fish. Also the spicy noodle bowl appetizer. Excellent!

Our food was very good. It however came with cold broccoli, which was puzzling. The very confusing part was the french fries smothered in ketchup garnish. The General Tso chicken was on point and so was my wife's honey chicken. My wife said the french fry garnish was good just too much ketchup.

Really enjoyed coming here with the family! The food was great. We shared four dishes; shredded chicken with garlic sauce, general tao chicken, shredded chicken with sweet bean sauce, and sautéed sliced pork with wood ear mushrooms. All the dishes tasted great, but I recommend the chicken with sweet bean sauce and the pork with wood ear mushrooms. They both had such a distinct flavor that set them apart from the other two! For apps, we had the scallion pancakes and soup dumplings. Definitely recommend the scallion pancakes! Atmosphere is the only thing that lacked here (which doesn’t bother me, personally). Wasn’t super nice inside, but they did make the restaurant out of an old fast food spot. I’d imagine that’d be difficult to make into a dope restaurant. Anyways, altogether I’d definitely go back and recommend it for good Szechuan food!

We ordered 7 dishes. Every single one was a 10/10. Amazing flavor!!! Only thing I’m upset about it not coming here sooner. Maybe we lucked out on what we ordered but this is one of those places I now have to bring friends to.

The food in here is phenomenal, I love it. We were two people and ordered two lunch specials, including a soup, rice and the entrée, and we also ordered a couple of spring rolls as an appetizer, every single thing we ordered tasted awesome, the total amount we spent in all this food was $23.32dlls + tip, which is super low! 100% recommended!!! This restaurant will be added to my favortite restaurant's list no doubt about it.

Szechuan Gourmet (formerly Mount Pepper) is a great spot for quality, authentic Szechuanese food in Lancaster! This is definitely NOT the place to get your standard Americanized fare like General Tso chicken, (though it is actually on the menu). Instead you will find delicious dishes like Mapo Tofu rich in Szechuan peppercorn flavor (see attached picture), Chinese garlic eggplant that is succulent and flavorful, or seaweed and spare rib soup that is the perfect warm and comforting antidote to a cold day. The menu is expansive so even if you're not particularly adventurous or spice-tolerant you should be able to find something to your liking. Keep in mind that at authentic places like this food is generally meant to be shared "family style," which means the individual dishes (including sides) might seem more expensive but are large enough for at least 2-3 hungry people. The best way to approach this is to grab a few friends and each order something different, creating a buffet at your own table. :) The ambiance needs some work (some non-fluorescent lighting would be nice), but overall this is a great spot for cuisine that's not always easy to find outside of big cities or China itself!
