    BBQ Pork and all noodles...
    Robert G.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE. The people there are fantastic. Such patience. It's always crazy busy and yet they greet you with a warm smile. THEARA was amazing today. She served EXACTLY what I wanted. BBQ PORK! ALL DAY LONG. Thank you Theara. It's service like yours that keeps me coming back. See you all soon! Rob

    OG in the game and incredibly delicious. The home of the original recipe for Orange Chicken fries. Perfectly crispy fries and juicy chunks of crunchy orange chicken with a heaping serving of green onions and spicy mayo on top. It's a perfect balance of tangy and savior textures that you and whoever you wanna share it with will love! Service is quick even if the lines get long! Small indoor seating available but they some outside too!

    So I just so happen to hit up MR. You for the viral orange chicken fries on a whim and boi let me tell you so fresh so good. I never thought orange chicken and fries would work well perfectly but it did. With the help of Theara she point me to go spicy and I so glad I did. Her customer service was very welcoming. Also a lil tip if you are not a real eater lol then you would need to share, bring some friends The wings are amazing also. This was my first visit and it won't be the last. Ok I may have to try more socially aware places more lol

    We finally checked out Mr. You's Chinese Food in Montclair after seeing all the hype about their viral Orange Chicken Fries, and it definitely lived up to much of the buzz. The Orange Chicken Fries were the highlight of our visit--my son absolutely loved them. The fries were crispy and flavorful, and the orange sauce paired really well with them. Presentation was also on point, making it easy to see why they've become so popular online. The portions are incredibly generous, so you'll definitely get your money's worth. Customer service was friendly and efficient, especially considering how busy they were. The only downside was the wait. The line was extremely long, and we waited about 30 minutes before reaching the counter. If you're planning to visit, be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially during peak hours. My only critique is the orange chicken itself. While the flavor was very good, the batter was noticeably greasy and seemed to absorb quite a bit of the frying oil. It wasn't enough to ruin the dish, but it was something I couldn't help but notice. Overall, the food was delicious, the portions were excellent, and the staff provided great service. If you're a fan of Chinese food or have been wanting to try the viral Orange Chicken Fries, I definitely think Mr. You's is worth a visit. Just arrive with a little patience--the line moves, and the food is worth the wait.

    Orange chicken. Lo mein. Another beef entree

    This is it. The original Mr you place! Or well the place that crafted the viral orange chicken fries! I've been going to another Mr you location for a decade before they closed down so this chain is definitely in my cozy Chinese takeout in fact every time I try another Chinese takeout I can't help but compare. Their lo mein noodles were so tasty and I could see a buttload of them being prepared in the back. They had so many employees and the line moved fast. Orange chicken was good as always but honestly I came here bc I was craving coconut shrimp. Imagine my surprise when they don't have it! Chinese takeout without coconut shrimp. Preposterous! Their other locations have it so I was a bit confused but food was tasty. Quite small in there also the water tasted funky prob bc we took it from the tea machine..? Either way Chinese fast food always yum just wished they had my coconut shrimp. Perhaps next time I'll get the orange chicken fries

    Orange chicken fries are a must-have

    Stopped in for dinner the other day. Plenty of parking is available. The restaurant itself is small, charming and don't be surprised how packed it can get but service it friendly and efficient. They are the home of the Orange chicken fries. These are a must have. From the house made Orange chicken sauce, the crispy crinkled fries and the crispy on the outside but tender on the inside chicken, everything screams try me! And you will need someone to share these with cause the portion is massive! We also got a simple combo plate that took me back to my childhood. Lots of steamed white rice with char sui and beef ribs on top. The beef ribs were fall off the bone tender. The char sui was fatty, tender and delicious. Some of the best char sui ever! And believe it or not we got one more plate. They have chow fun. So rare to see a mostly take-out place with chow fun. Ask for it with chili oil. We got chili oil beef chow fun. Another massive order and some good heat level come with it. Easily a must-have when you come. Awesome service and incredible food make this a go-to Chinese food place!

    This is the type of big back food I crave late at night, and it hits every time. I saw this place on TikTok and had to give it a try. It did not disappoint! The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. The only thing I'd change is getting less sauce next time since it was a little too much for me. Other than that, everything was delicious. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm trying the Spicy Orange Chicken.

    Orange chicken fries still hot when we got back home

    We drove all the way from Orange county for the viral orange chicken fries and it did not disappoint Yennie was so nice and friendly. If we didn't live so far this would be our go to spot for our weekend cheat meals lol

    Orange Chicken Fries - Spicy

    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.

    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.

    Orange Chicken Fries!!!!!! Have you heard of this viral favorite? Mr. Yu in Montclair is actually the original creator of the viral Orange Chicken Fries! It kind of feels like an In-N-Out secret menu item with a Chinese-American twist They serve massive portions of Chinese fast food at incredibly affordable prices! And this char siu gives me all the Hong Kong comfort-food vibes The Combo C is only $13.59, and it comes with chow mein, fried rice, and three entrées! IG: socalhkfoodies

    Half noodles and fried rice with spicy orange chicken
    Edward C.

    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

    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.

    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

    Order: Fried chili chicken, dan dan dry spicy, cauliflower…read moredry pot, & beef & tripe in chili oil. Atmosphere: 10/10 Beautiful inside, the ambiance is going for a modern zen vibe. Very peaceful. Service: Good service. No complaints. Cooking technique: One of the best chongqing style fried chicken I've ever had. Beautifully fried, not greasy. Everything was cooked so well, it's impressive. Price: 10/10 Great prices. Mala/spiciness: 1/10 I really wish this place was spicy. I love sichuan food and I have an extreme spice tolerance so maybe this place is spicy for people who normally eat mild spice but for me, I expect so much more from Sichuan food. I was conflicted writing this review because sincerely the cooking was nearly perfect. It just had no spice to me. If it was spicier, it would easily be in the top 5 of my favorite Sichuan places just based on the cooking technique.

    I had the best experience booking my daughter's graduation reception at Ginkgo, despite never…read moretrying it before. I decided on Ginkgo for its proximity to the Claremont Colleges, and a close friend reassured me that it was an excellent choice. From beginning to end, Joy (the manager) was gracious in answering my questions and made helpful recommendations to allay the stress inherent in planning a large party. On the day of my event, Joy and her assistant, Ling, paid attention to little details and checked in with me regularly to ensure a memorable experience. My guests praised the food, attentive service, and the warm ambience. Overall, it was a lovely celebration, which my family and I will forever cherish. Joy and the entire Ginkgo staff treated me like family. Joy even introduced me to her mother, who was working in the back. I highly recommend Ginkgo for a fancy banquet or a simple meal. Stop by, and you will surely be made to feel like family. MY SINCEREST GRATITUDE TO JOY, LING, AND THE ENTIRE GINKGO STAFF!!!
