The following is an exerpt of a review as written by author and culinary food critic and a native Central Floridian On Yen Yen Restaurant. My Family and I discovered a delightful restaurant in Cocoa Beach. It's worth the trip from anywhere. The interior combines the rich woods and colors of a traditional English establishment with Chinese accents. The decor befits Yen Yen's Hong Kong heritage. Similarly, the cuisine is a mixture of several upscale chinese styles. This is not a "noodles in a bowl" Cantonese restaurant with lots of chow mein and chop suey. The entrees featured are mostly of Szechuan, Mandarin and Hunan heritage. A full bar is available and a fairly impressive wine list compliments the extensive 12 page, full-course, a la carte menu. My family shares, so I can recommend any of the items I sampled which included several of the soups and salads, a variety of excellent fresh seafood, beef, pork, chicken and duck. I particularly enjoyed the Curried Chicken Puffs, Sizzling Pork and Snow White Prawns. Prices are reasonalblefamily oriented with several children's meals under five dollars and many adult entrees under ten. The following is an exerpt from a review as it appeared in Florida Today Newspaper by Kathy Reakes Kathy Awarded Yen Yen Restaurant Florida Today's HIGHEST RANKING OF FOUR FORKS!!!! Yen Yen, Cocoa Beach: Get ready for a culinary adventure. Yen Yen is unlike any othe Chinese restaurant in the area. Elegant is the word for it. The restaurant is beautiful with rich marble, rich woods, Chinese vases and dripping chandeliers. The interior is inviting. Deep booths covered in linens run around the upper level of the restaurant with tables on the lower level. The food is unlike any other in the area. You won't find the usual egg foo young, chop suey or chow mein. You will find large selections of seafood, chicken, beef, duck and pork- each prepared in a new and unique way. I ordered the snow white prawns, which are flour dusted and pan fried on both sides and served with a low fat cream sauce and sesame seeds. The menu says it a dish you can't afford to miss. I agree, this was the best shrimp that I have ever eaten. No kidding, after 30 years in Florida, this was the best. The sauce was super light and flavorful, and the shrimp were cooked to perfection.
