I felt this restaurant fell into the trap of trying to do too many things. The menu is expansive and cuisines covered was Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and maybe Filipino. This also includes the various types within those countries .... We heard great things about the food and was recommended by someone that knows good Chinese food. As mentioned, the food fell flat... Lacking distinct flavor/execution was lacking. Service was fine and inside was what you would expect for an independent Chinese/Asian restaurant. read more

My review is based on takeout. I was In the mood for Chinese food and I wanted to give Ye's Asian Bistro a try. This place is more of Asian fusion style restaurant with a unique variety of cuisines. As I waited for my order I could see that they have a nice dining room with linen tablecloths for dining in. You can also sit outside if the weather is nice. This is a BYOB restaurant. The staff was very nice. It was easy to place my order and I didn't have to wait long for it to be ready. They have a good selection of Chinese, Vietnamese,Thai, and Malaysian dishes, along with some unique offerings like Jellyfish Salad, Sweet n Sour Jellyfish, Pickle with Pork Intestines, Sautéed Pork Liver with Vegetables,Crystal Dumplings, Fish Maw Soup with Crabmeat and a whole lot more of interesting and unique dishes. They offer a separate Chinese menu for authentic dishes, and a menu all in Chinese for those who can read it. Ye's Asian Bidtro also has a nice variety of Soups, Salads along with Vegetarian options. They offer Beef, Chicken, Pork, Lamb, Seafood, Chef Specials, Noodles and Rice Dishes, Casseroles, and Pho. They have Lunch Specials too. I ordered for an Appetizer Steamed Leaf Shape Pork Dumplings. You get 6 in an order, they were very good, I could've stop eating them. For my dinner I placed an order for their Combination General Tso's Chicken with Fried Rice. It was really delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly and it was tender. The sauce had good flavor and the Stir Fried Broccoli was a nice accompaniment. My bf ordered their Combination Pork Lo Mein with Fried Rice. He really enjoyed his meal. I shared my dumplings with him, and gave him a taste of my General Tso's Chicken. He too thought the food here was very good. There is a large free parking lot in the back. There are a few handicapped parking spaces. I will definitely be returning. read more

Restaurant servers authentic Asian food. My daughter two favorite dishes are their fried sticky rice and the lamb chops. Portions are on the smaller side but overall everything tastes great. Dining room is clean, staff is friendly. The only suggestion I would make is to brighten up the room a little. read more

Truly a hole in the wall. This restaurant served authentic well cooked Chinese food. We ordered the variety appetizer dish, green beans, fish special of the day, honey walnut shrimp, and fish of the day. Everything was cooked deliciously. My favorite was the fish of the day, it was so soft and melt in your mouth. The service was also quick and to the point, which I like. There's ample parking in the front and I would definitely come again! read more

It's a matter of WHAT you order! The staff have great recommendations. We've only done take out, but the inside seems nice, clean, with a medium Chinese fancy atmosphere. What we've loved: - shrimp fried rice (add extra shrimp!) - eggplant with minced pork - razor clams with scallions - salt and pepper squid - all sautéed veggies What wasn't too bad but we wouldn't order again: - basil fried rice - chow fun We will continue to try items on the menu to explore what's good. But overall, all the seafood has been on point and the staffs recommendations haven't let us down yet. read more

Thursday night dinner Service was great. There were other patrons at 8:15pm, although not heavily busy, but there were other patrons. It's BYOB with $2 service fee. We had a bottle of wine. Ordered the sautéed string beans and the spicy beef. Both were delicious. Both dishes came out hot and fresh. We had brown rice. Service was attentive. There was a table of 8 women having a great time laughing. Check plus tip came out to under $50. read more

There is a viral video where the person said the best Chinese restaurants are rated 3 1/2 stars on Yelp. This is definitely the case here. I don't understand the subpar rating for this restaurant, this is such a hidden gem and one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in NJ. The owner does a great job in incorporating fresh seasonal seafood and vegetables into special dishes. If you don't see them listed on the menu, ask the owner or the server and they will be glad to help you. Or just use any of the photos you see and point to them. The oysters are spectacular and so huge, you definitely can't go wrong with them. My personal favorite is the pork belly bun, eaten in the same style as Peking duck, so scrumptious! I also enjoy the E-Fu noodles, they are a must for birthdays! Other standouts include the lamb chops, roast ducks, squid and crabs. Bring your appetite and an open mind! read more

Food was amazing, service very good. Only complaint, there was what appeared to be a specials board outside written in Chinese, saw what appeared to be a lot of special dishes on other tables which were not on the in store menu. read more

This is, hands down, the best Chinese food in the area, ESPECIALLY if you're a seafood person. I have never had a bad meal here and the fish/shrimp is always incredibly fresh and well prepared. The veggies are incredible as well. I try to order a new dish every time I come and every new thing I try is amazing. read more

We tried this restaurant as an alternative to a fast food Chinese restaurant. The food was plentiful. Average flavors. Maybe we will try eating in next time read more

We had been ordering takeout a few times till we decided to crash for a late Friday lunch. The food isn't typical American Chinese and we have ordered stir fried spicy lamb, chicken with peppers and salt and pepper calamari. We also ordered the vermicelli noodles. Fast and attentive service, the interiors are not impressive but the food is definitely at par with food at nyc China town. The calamari had sautéed onions and peppers and piles of fried bay leaves, the lamb had aromatic greens and the chicken though a bit over fried had tons of dried red chilli and Sichuan peppercorns. We also asked for extra chili sauce. I did see tables ordering loads of cooked crabs and mussels so would like to try it next time. One thing I noticed that they added a service charge which I had never seen before. Overall a great Asian joint with authentic food! read more

The pho is good but not great and shows that this is not their specialty, as true pho has broth that takes 12-18 hours to make and is often the true hero of the dish. 3 stars for the food but 4 for the staff who is attentive and friendly and 4 stars for the atmosphere that is both warm and well decorated. read more

Ye's Asian Bistro - Beautiful interior makes this place to take a date. - Vietnamese Near Me - Warren, New Jersey

Good spot for Chinese Food in the Warren area. Favs here are the fried soft shell crab, young Chow fried rice, fried shrimp as well. The crab soup is also very good as well. The restaurant has a good mix of different seat configurations. 2 tops, booths seats and the traditional circular table for 7-8 people. Any group size should feel comfortable here. The restaurant is in a small strip mall and all the parking is in the back. Gladly the parking is free as well. This place has a lot of different Asian dishes (Korean pancake, Pho) but I suggest ordering the Chinese food here as that is there presumed forte. read more

I got the seasoned cuttlefish and it was tasty and cooked to perfection. The bao buns were pretty good - may have been better if I ate dine-in instead of takeout. The staff are super friendly and helpful read more

Although this place is a farther drive than usual, it was really surprising to the taste. The seafood in this place was great, and one of the few places I want to revisit again as often as I can. The clams were really good, alongside the bun and pork. (Absolutely must try). read more

Definitely a hidden gem restaurant in NJ for Chinese food. Authentic Chinese food with attentive service and food is delicious.

This little restaurant in the center of Warren purports to have Asian fusion. Ok, that's nice, but I'm really not expecting anything exciting about Asian fusion in Warren... but, I went anyways, because it was easy. Thankfully... it was a good food experience, even if we didn't order any fusion dishes. So what did we order? Well, if you like real seafood cooked Chinese style (as in sautéed or pan fried or something like that), you'll be happy here. The food is very fresh, and they only offer what's been recently delivered- the deliveries seem to be frequent at least twice a week, or at least it was two days in a row when we asked/ experienced. What if you don't eat seafood? Oh, you'll be fine. They have brown rice and white rice and noodle dishes. They have tasty Chinese vegetables that are not on the menu- like mountain medicine, Chinese broccoli, baby baby Bok Choy (not Shanghai choy), Napa cabbage, and water spinach (yuck). In terms of what they have, it's, yup, whatever is fresh- so don't expect it all to be on the menu. The coolest part, because I like any veggie fresh and lightly sautéed, is that all of the dishes had a different flavor. Whether it was garlic or onion or dishes of cooking wine or vinegar, no msg, no soy sauce, just delicious. Impressive. That means... I'll be back. Even the mung bean noodle dish was way legit and more flavorful than other restaurants' (and my mom's!) cooking! Whoa!!! So... I'll probably end up here again... but I doubt I'll order off the menu. The best dishes aren't there. You've gotta ask! read more

Ye's Asian Bistro - Just a few dishes... - Vietnamese Near Me - Warren, New Jersey

One of our go-to Chinese places in NJ. The food is fairly good. We always order from the Chinese menu (which is only available in Chinese for some reason), which seems to have more authentic dishes than the regular menu. In particular, we like the chicken and chilli dish here. It is extremely flavorful. Also, they have a combo of 3 dishes for $35. It's great value, and is another default order of ours. There is a fairly wide range of dishes that you can select from. read more

This is my go to place for good Chinese food. We have been coming here for years. They have great menu posted on WeChat. $35 for 3 dishes of your choice. We can get all three of them with seafood. They also have great party trays which is basically 3 potions of a regular dish for price of two. I get to shrimp tray and the noodle tray every party. My friends often suggested me to bring Chinese food to their party because they know I always order from Ye's. Love this place #legendagejianusa#amazing read more

We had been ordering takeout a few times till we decided to crash for a late thrusday dinner. The food isn't typical American Chinese and we have ordered stir fried mediun spicy lamb, chicken with peppers and salt and pepper squid rings. We also ordered the vermicelli noodle. Fast and attentive service, the interiors are not impressive but the food is definitely at par with food at San fransico China town. The calamari had fried onions and jalepenos and piles of fried mocha leaves, the lamb had a wafting smell of greens and the chicken though a bit over fried had tons of dried red chilli and Wuhan peppercorns. We also asked for less chili sauce. I did see tables ordering loads of cooked lobster and clams so would like to try it next time on saturday. A thing I noticed that they added a service fee which I had never ever seen before. Overall a fabolous Asian place with authentic cusine! read more

Came here for the first time last night for dinner. I was looking for a new place to try some Pho that was local and this is where my yelp search brought us. We arrived around 6:30 and there were only a few others dining. I guess that's probably typical for a week night. We were promptly seated at a booth and our drink orders were taken while we looked over the menu. They have a pretty large menu with a lot of variety and many things I would like to try. Starters- Spicy mango salad- This was pretty good, a combination of sweet and spicy and crisp and the Peking Duck steam buns- these were good too and had a nice flavor. Mains- I had the Vietnamese Grilled Pork over vermicelli which is also served with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and a homemade chili lime sauce. It describes it as also having peanuts but I didn't find any on my dish. I really liked this dish it was very flavorful especially after I added some hoisin sauce. And of course the reason for coming here the Pho... we had the Pho Dac Biet. It was loaded with meat and I was told by my "Pho connoisseur"...lol this broth was delicious... much better then where we usually go. It was a really filling dish not just filled with mostly broth like some places serve. Also the service was great and very attentive, everyone was very friendly. So needless to say I got a gold star for my dinner selection tonight and I'm sure we'll be back. read more

I stopped in for a late lunch when I was craving pho. I was leery of the fusion menu offerings and didn't have high hopes. I asked my server which she preferred - the beef noodle soup (chinese menu) or the pho, but she just said that the pho was more popular. Pho dac Biet and fried veggie rolls were my final selection. The veggie rolls were petite but packed with fresh vegetables and the thin skin was fried as crispy as could be. They were definitely on the greasy side, so if you're looking for something light, look elsewhere! Pho was a huge portion. A ton of noodles and lots of beef, way more than is typical at a pho restaurant. The broth was clear and light, but decidedly lacking in flavor. It was ultimately a bit disappointing even for my moderated expectations. read more

Delicious meal every time. Never disappointed. A hidden gem. The staff is fast and efficient

This restaurant has been one of my favorite seafood restaurant in the area and I have recommended all of my close friends to this place. The most recent experice is disturbing and disappointing. I ordered a eel made with Chinese method. With all the expectations that how delicious they are going to be. Ironically, the eel was as hard as rock, in my hubby's words, they are like a dog's rubber chew toys. Their excuse is that the eel is from the sea not from the river and that's why they are harder. But seriously, it's not tough or harder, they are as rock. The hardest part for me to go through the experice is that I've appreciated their quality so much and it's disappointing they take advantage of the reputation and blend in low quality seafood. So think twice before you order seafood there or explore other seafood restaurants. read more

Just ordered from here for the first time. Asked for noodles with no mushrooms and noodles had mushrooms so $16 dish went into the garbage. Mini rolls and golden buns were both incredibly creasy. Not going back. read more

Good Afternoon Vietnam! Lunch of this ethnic bent is nouvelle in this neck of the woods! Solid cheap lunch specials in an attractive dining room with cool non Muzak Vietnamese tunes which gives this joint an appropriate ambiance. The grilled pork over rice noodles with fresh veggies and herbs was a welcomed change from the cookie cutter Asian fusion fare found in the cultural backwaters of warren town. They mix in some Chinese favorites on the lunch menu to cast a wider net... I look forward to trying the PHO as well as some of their true Vietnamese goodies. I give this 4 stars for being a pioneer in the area and they are testing with waters with how well Vietnamese food can be accepted in the burbs... I hope it is well received and they expand their menu. read more

Making another updated review for Ye's Asian Bistro in the midst of the global COVID-19 Pandemic. After much consideration, we finally ventured out of our shell and decided to eat out, but not jus anywhere, only places we trust that will follow pandemic health code properly. As a germophobe, you must understand our hesitation. In any regard, Ye's place does a great job of offering that peace of mind to me, granted, they do not offer delivery, but I am happy with takeout. For the purpose of complete isolation and sanitation as well as potential contamination with the outside world, the restaurant seems to have erected a barrier at the front door where customers only pick up food, and no other interactions or transactions take place beyond that. They use a microphone to speak with you through the barrier and give you the food through an enclosure window. The process is in and out in about 15 seconds. If you prepaid online, it is even faster. Give name -- Here is your food -- now Leave. I love it. Very few places do as of a good job as Ye's, the ordering process is fully online or via telephone, if you use WeChat, the menus are constantly being updated and new dishes roll out almost daily. The food is delicious, more menus have been added, we dine exclusively here now. I also heard the owners helped out with local hospitals during the peak of the pandemic, way to go guys! Respect. read more

I've been wanting to come to Ye's for years... I went there for pho and the pho wasn't good at all, compared to another local restaurant. We started with veggie mini rolls and Hawaii shrimp rolls; both were excellent! There were 4 pho options; we ordered 2. We ordered pho dac biet and pho bo vien. Both were awful. No offense to the restaurant, but tendon sausage has a terrible consistency... Service was awesome! If we return, it won't be for the pho... the spicy crab dish looked amazing! The table next to us were very happy with their fried rice and dumplings... read more

it is that good. Took the family here and we were blown away. There was no wait for us since we came about an hour and half before closing, the wait staffs were terrific. The dishes were a little salty but they were still amazing. Maybe its also because where i live it's hard to get authentic Chinese food. If i were closer I'd come here atleast twice a month! read more

Great authentic Chinese dishes, portions are more than fair for the price - my favorite dishes here were steamed fish and fried soft shell crabs read more

Ye's Asian Bistro - Fried soft shell crabs - Vietnamese Near Me - Warren, New Jersey

I love this place now as my go to Asian food (not just Chinese style but a blend of Thai, vietnamese, and other southeast Asian dishes that all are familiar with the American crowd and really tasty. I always order the pad Thai here rather than the pad Thai from the Thai restaurant that is next door actually. The shrimp that you get from Ye's is so much bigger, more, and always juicy. Somehow the times I tried in the Thai restaurant next door they have been dry and tiny. More than twice is a no go for me, so Ye's has always been consistent with amazing large juicy shrimp. The pho soup bowls are also amazing. They may not seem to have a lot in the bowl but only because they make sure to give you enough piping hot soup to cook everything in so by the time you put your veggies and etc, the bowl is almost overflowing. My children have always loved the Pho Thai because it has simple beef pieces (for those less daring to try other parts of the cow) and delicious soup. The pho is also good and not stringy or mushy. For people with peanut allergies (since there are many Thai items with peanuts) both my children are allergic to peanuts but the pho Thai is just fine and there are enough nut-free items on the menu to enjoy the Asian cuisine. The real jewel of this place are it's specials which are almost like a secret menu. Sometimes Ye (herself?) lists it somewhere in some Chinese website but she writes it on the outside board as well. We love the Cantonese style sticky rice (for anyone a fan on sticky rice) and the weekly special sautéed vegetable is very healthy. The special crabs are also superb and good to order by the dozen even for parties or get togethers. On a smaller note Ye's offers a small selection of bubble tea and smoothies and other Asian mixed drinks. My family's favorites are the black tea, lychee and strawberry smoothies, and sometimes mango smoothie. I would definitely bring my friends and family here anytime. read more

Cantonese and American Review - So far so good With a confusing identity, stayed away until we got a rec from a Canto/Toisan family member. Ordered the House Stir Fried Rice Cake and General Tso's. Rice cake is authentic but only decent but maybe we picked up takeout too late as they got soggy. General Tso's is the best in the Warren "Flags" area. Will update on other experiences but may stick to what they're good at being Chinese owned and recommended. Five stars for the area, not overall, people should know what is the best place nearby vs in general. read more

Just arrived in town and my cousins told me that I have to try this place. Amazing authentic food, huge menu, and the Pho was great. The server custom made us a Pho dish after they were out of one and the combo scallops and tofu was terrific. read more

We noticed this place just the other day while leaving 4 Brothers. Picked up a menu. Ordered some take out. What a refreshing break from the run of the mill Chinese take out. Ordered a lot of food. Fried Calamari, Korean Short Ribs, Indian pancake with Chicken Curry, Green Curry with Tofu and Crispy Lamb Chops with cumin. The fried calamari was the only stinker. Tough and chewy. Little to recommend it. But the other dishes were winners. Really flavorful and well prepared. Especialy the chicken curry. Next time I will order extra pancakes. There are lots of other dishes we want to try but we so enjoyed what we ordered we might not get to them. I also need to take a crash course in Chinese so I might order from the secret menu. Can't wait to return. read more

Lunch Review. Okay, the Pho is $14 so its definitely more than the usual but in this area its pretty normal. Great Pho!!!!! Lots of meat and broth is a bit spicy but I like it that way. Co-workers ordered some typical lunch thing and it was pretty good too. I visit about once a week for either pho or the duck noodle soup - also sooo goooood!!!! I like authentic asian food and so far this is the closest that I have found in this area, noodle soup wise. I have never ordered any of the other stuff but it looks okay and the price for that is pretty reasonable. read more

First time here to this new place on a Tuesday evening. Only one other customer to be seen. Thus, I hope they are able to build a following to keep them in business. Some of the items on the menu are an overlap but for me it was nice to see some unique items for the local area. For dinner I sampled the Thai Spiced Lettuce Wrap -- tofu, stir-fried with basil, onion, chili pepper, pineapple, fresh lime juice, severed with lettuce leaves and then had the Pho Dac Biet -- this pho bowl is packed with rare eye round steak, well-done skirt flank, soft tendon, and beef balls. It's a different texture in every bite. The appetizer was really awesome and the pho was good but I do not have much experience with pho to be able to compare it to other places. The big plus for the menu was a clear note of GF - gluten free items. read more
