    Orange Chicken Fries - Spicy
    Maritza B.

    The Orange Chicken Fries are worth trying. Definitely shareable. Very saturated in sauce. We got the spicy fries and it was mild for me. Friendly service. Outside tables could use some cleaning but the inside was clean.

    I've been seeing the orange chicken fries all over my feed, so we finally made the trip and wow... the hype is actually deserved. We ordered the carry out noodles with orange chicken and chow mein, and the portions were HUGE. Definitely the kind of meal that leaves you with leftovers for later. The orange chicken was crispy, saucy, and had that perfect sweet-and-tangy flavor without being overly heavy. The chow mein was flavorful and paired so well with it. You can tell why this spot has such a loyal following. And of course, we had to try the famous orange chicken fries. It's wild knowing this Montclair location is considered the original home of the viral orange chicken fries. Crispy fries loaded with orange chicken just sounds wrong until you try it... then it somehow makes perfect sense. If you're craving classic Chinese fast food with generous portions and want to see what started the orange chicken fries craze, this spot is worth checking out. The service is great, everyone is super nice! And love the ambiance, it makes me feel nostalgic being in there.

    First time at Mr. You Express. Came here after a fun day at Lucky Art Crayology with the kiddos. Was getting hungry and my wife found Mr. You on yelp. Mr. You puts panda express to shame with their menu variety, hospitality and portion size. Explains why this place was busy when we came in. Patron after patron came in. The staff were all very welcoming, nice and helpful. They made the kids feel welcomed and the food was delicious. My daughters loved their noodles and fried rice. We ordered their entree menu i had their one item plate and my wife got also one item plate. Mine was half fried rice and noodles with my entree being spicy orange chicken which i have not seen at other Chinese fast food. My wife got their two item broccoli beef. The spicy orange chicken was gooooood!! I loved it nice balance of flavors and not too spicy (mild to medium) spicy level. Their broccoli beef was cooked well and flavored nicely with a hint of the peppers that balanced with the veggies. All in all 10/10. The portions are large especially when i saw the bbq pork (char siu) they packed that sucker up it was over capacity of the container. The price is on point with whats out in the industry but the portions also matches it so this place is hands down the best place for chinese food thats authentic and everyone will enjoy. If you live in montclair or are passing by make sure you stop by Mr. You Express for some well made chinese food plus you will be supporting a great small business. P.S. my wife said their door said they have a secret menu IYKYK . Now i have to come back and check their instagram @mryoumontclair to see what this secret menu is all about. Too bad they are not out where i am. Now i will have to come back lol

    If you haven't tried the Spicy Orange Chicken Fries yet, drop everything. Shoutout to Mr. You Chinese Food--the official creators of this masterpiece that started right here in Montclair, California! Fresh crinkle-cut fries wok-tossed with crispy chicken in that perfect sweet & spicy glaze, then absolutely loaded with cheese, fresh green onions, and a spicy drizzle. Sweet, spicy, crispy, and 10/10 elite comfort food that is sooo addictive.

    Came for the viral orange chicken fries. It's listed as a secret menu item, so don't hesitate to order when you don't see it on the written menu. You can order it spicy or regular. There's plenty of parking at this location. The establishment itself was busy with a line. Ordering was fast and easy with staff. There's seating inside and outside of the store. One order of orange chicken fries is enough to share for two people. Portion is about the size of half a plastic bag! The takeout box lid doesn't even close. The fries were dense and bland. The orange chicken itself is airy. I had expectations of it being crispier or tangier. The sauce, cheese, and green onion combo makes the whole entire dish. The fries and chicken end up as the way to get the sauce mix into your mouth. Overall a delicious sauce combo that is worth the hype!

    We were near this place and stone to kill so we de used to try this place. The selections of entrees are huge. Can order different entrees if it's not on the showcase. All the combination varieties are on the billboard. Choose from one to two to three entrees with rice and chowmein noodles. The portions are hugeeeeeee! We shared a combo B with two entrees. Added the shrimp for an additional $1. The orange chicken came with spicy or non spicy. The place is small only few tables inside and few outdoor seating tables. Food was good, the spicy orange chicken was so so. It doesn't have the same flavor as Panda Express but it was good. The salt and pepper shrimps were really good. The shrimp was quite big! Couldn't even finish it. They also have really good smoothies and boba tea with different flavors. Need to go back and try their famous orange chicken fries. Part of the local business ow et so go there and support them.

    Orange chicken fries, not spicy

    THIS is the Mr You you want to go to. Theres another one close by but we've been there eh. We came to this one the other day and the food is superb!! The noodles and rice are so damn tasty, I NEED MORE!!! Typically this Mr You has a line but they have a lot of workers grinding away so it goes fast enough. Only a few tables for eating inside with a couple outside. We tried the orange chicken fries and were not disappointed, bomb! Come down and get you some good ass noodles and fried rice

    The food was okay. We will definitely try again. Guess it depends on who you get. Some peoples boxes were fully loaded. We got grumpy lady. The OC fries I think are overrated. Mostly fries. I should Of ordered a side of fries and orange chicken. On the two item menu beef and zucchini cut the meat up into bite sizes.too many onions and way too big. Ambiance fine small inside dining. But customer service needs to step up.

    2 combo plate

    Mr. You's is quintessential fast Chinese cuisine at its finest. No frills just good ol fashioned oversized scoops and serving of some classics. Tender broccoli beef sauced up real nice. And when the orange chicken is fresh you get an insane crunch to them with that sweet (and optionally spicy version) citrussy bite. The star of the show was the viral orange chicken fries ( check my IG/tiktok @mattchu_eatchu for the review) Service is simple and straightforward. Pick a 1-3 combo playe or ask for the orange chicken fries. The fries take 10-15 mins depending on how busy they are so give em a break! Ambiance is filled with seating inside and outside along with all kinda of Mr. You's decor!

    Orange chicken and spicy green beans with chicken and under all of that is chow mien and rice
    Demetrius G.

    Seen all the hype about this place, so I had to try and see for myself. I ordered the orange chicken and spicy green bean with chicken along with steamed rice and chow mien. The food was fresh and delicious and the server really packed the food in the styrofoam container. Well worth the 12 dollars and change for the food!

    First time at Mr. You in Montclair and the main reason was because I kept hearing about the viral Orange Chicken Fries!!! I love Orange Chicken and Fries so I had to try it!! It was bomb!!! Sooo good and lives up to the hype - my family loved it as well! We will definitely come back for these. There was a long line but it moves pretty fast. Thanks to the great staff for the awesome customer service and fast service. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for good Chinese food in the area.

    Double Orange chicken , and veggies .
    Daniel H.

    Way over hyped , I came here and wai 35 minutes in line just to get over charged for some basic Chinese food I paid 25$ for combo C , it was obvious the lady didn't understand me . I didn't want chow main or fried rice , and for some reason 15$ turned into 25 . Instead of fixing the problem they argued . I really dislike making bad reviews but charging me 10 extra dollars for no reason was wrong . I just left and got tired of trying to explain myself . Never coming back !

    Combo B - Half Fried Rice & Chow Mein with Broccoli Beef and Teriyaki Chicken
    Angela N.

    Generous portions! My container was PACKED with food that it could barely close. Easily could feed me about 3 times. The food is your average Chinese food. I did enjoy their chow mein and teriyaki chicken. Their broccoli beef was okay. The beef wasn't as tender as I'd like. Overall, I enjoyed it and you definitely get a bang for your buck.

    Will they make me Almond Fried chicken? It is a NW American/Canadian Chinese classic with fried chicken pieces topped with a gravy and a sprinkle of almonds. I asked a Chinese friend and she said it's called War Su Gai.

    Not sure

    It's hard to beat this quality of Thai food for the price…read more Went to Sanamluang Thai on a Saturday due late lunch. We were seated quickly and order was taken. The restaurant is spacious and my wife and I were seated on a large booth. We ordered an appetizer or beef strips, and two items. Food was delicious with generous portions. The beef strips were a little tough for my wife's liking but I thought it was good. We will be back for sure whenever we are in the area. Overall 4.5

    I've always heard such good reviews about this place so decided to try it out. We got a lot of food…read morefor just us 2 (our kids barely eat). I'll go from best to worst. The best thing is their tom kha soup, soooo flavorful and filled with lots of chicken and mushrooms, highly recommend. Another great item were their fried chicken wings, very good and crispy and the sauce they give is super tasty. Their pad see ew was also very good, packed with beef and moist. The trout (kinda pricey depending on the seasonal price it was $23) was good as well, the lightness and freshness of their vegetable pickled slaw really cut thru their super crispy oiled fish. The duck was good, but it was super gamey, more than I'd like, the spinach was sautéed nicely tho. The chicken larb was our least favorite, it was way too sweet and just tasted like batter to me, the flavor was just off, we didn't even take home the leftovers. Their Thai coffee was hella sweet, like super sweet, Idk if I would get that again. Their mango sticky rice was $14 and honestly it was just ok, I've had better. Overall the service was quick, the place is clean overall, it does get crowded bc I can see why, the prices are reasonable and there is a lot of options of food. We would come back if we are in the area. Oh and ps just so u know parking is horrible, if u park on a wrong area u will get towed. They warn you multiple times to be careful where u park. It's just not a big enough lot, especially for how popular the place is. So be prepared to fight for a parking spot
