    Broccoli beef

    Great late night spot! Friendly service. Get the skewers! General tso chicken is good too

    Lamb skewers

    Yu's diner is under new management and is now a Chinese BBQ/Skewer restaurant now calling itself 客串江湖. We came on a Saturday around 8 p.m. It was absolutely packed when we arrived, but we only had to wait 10-15 mins to be seated. There's a waitlist where you can leave your phone number, and they'll call back when your table is ready. They've completely redecorated the interior - there's plenty of seating, it's brightly lit, and there were some nice beats playing. Maybe it's because they recently reopened, but the service was horrendously slow. We ordered a lot of skewers, so I won't list them, but I will say that we waited an hour and a half for all of our food to come out. Unfortunately, the taste was between very mediocre and borderline bad. Most of the meat skewers were cold, everything else was at least edible, and the sweet pork was super dry and drenched in sauce.

    Food was AMAZING!! So good, I forgot everything we ordered. Great place for skewers! Got the sweet and sour pork, so crispy even after all the sauce. There's Chinese music playing the background and nice clean designs on the wall. Service was a little choppy just cuz a little bit of language barrier but had no issues whatsoever ordering! Highly recommend, atmosphere is cozy and the lighting is perfect for a date night!

    Yu's have rebranded.

    I recently revisited Yu's Asian Diner and was surprised to find that it has undergone a full rebrand, possibly under new ownership or under new management since their old Yelp page is now "closed" The interior has been totally updated with a fresh, new look, and they do play music, giving the place a livelier vibe. They've expanded the menu to include skewers as well as other additions while still keeping the classic American Chinese favorites and lunch specials (now about $2 more). I will definitely need to comeback not just for lunch special now as they have new items on the menu.

    Sesame Chicken

    The sign says Yu's, but Yu's is gone . I've been eating here for 10 years. Back when the specials were $4.99. They must have sold and I miss them. Old Yu's only used white meat. Today I had Sesame chicken popcorn chicken in a very thick sweet sauce. It wasn't great. The big pieces were weird . Old Yu's had yellow fried rice with fresh onions, carrots and peas. Now fried rice is white rice with lots of soy sauce and peas. Think St. Louis style but not as well done. Old Yu's had hand rolled spring rolls with a homemade citrus ginger sauce- it was so good! These egg rolls were flavorless and could have been frozen. Please steam that broccoli, it was fresh off the salad bar crispy. It you are gonna buy the place, buy the recipes too. Slapping black paint and red led lights on the walls does not make you better. It just made you $3 dollars more expensive for nothing. Can't trust a Chinese place without a waving Luck Cat anyways.

    General Tso's Chicken

    Unfortunately, this place was a miss. We ordered the General Tso's Chicken, Cashew Chicken, Chicken Egg Roll and the Vegetable Egg Roll. The General Tso's Chicken was WAY too crispy (like rock-hard) and so breaded you could barely taste the chicken at all. And the sauce almost tasted like ketchup? The cashew chicken wasn't much better. The sauce had no flavor, and the cashews were all burnt. The spring rolls were super mushy and didn't come with any sauce. The fried rice had no veggies or egg in it. Just a few pieces of peas and soy sauce. If you're looking for a Chinese spot, there are so many better options in the area. Unfortunately we won't be ordering from here again.

    Dined in and had the skewers. Coming back to try the crawfish. Buy 2 lbs, get one free. Fantastic. Will be back!

    The Chinese BBQ skewers are good,our favorite ones were beef! They also provide delicious roasted coated peanuts to munch on while you wait for your order. Overall, a great spot if you're craving authentic, Chinese skewers! They have not yet had their grand opening and we will be going back. The service was good.restaurant is nice setup but kind too dark for us.

    seasoned chives, shrimp skewers, black pepper skewers. (we also had pork belly skewers not shown in picture)

    Skewers are good especially the fish maw, lamb, and gizzard. The lunch special fried rice is also worth it.

We arrived on a Wednesday evening around 7 p.m., and surprisingly, we were the only customers there, considering it was peak dinner time. We also discovered that we needed to pre-order the duck in advance. Luckily, the lady informed us that there was one available for us, but it would take about 30 minutes. We ordered the crispy cucumber salad, xiao long bao, and the dry-fried string beans. The dry-fried string beans were my favorite. The string beans had a delightful crisp texture and a flavorful taste. The cucumber salad was also good, but some parts were a bit soggy. The XLB skin was too thick and chewy, and it didn't taste like the usual soup dumplings, which was disappointing. I was excited for the duck, but I was honestly disappointed when it arrived. The portions were quite small, considering it was a whole duck. It wasn't carved tableside, which was a letdown. Some parts of the duck were dry, and the skin wasn't crispy enough. To add to the disappointment, they charge extra for almost everything. If you want more pancakes or their homemade duck sauce (which tasted like black bean sauce), you'll have to pay an additional $5. Another thing to note is that they are BYOB, so you can bring your own alcohol. However, the menu pictures on Yelp are outdated, and they only offer whole Peking duck, not half orders. Overall, the food was just okay, and I'll probably try a different spot when I'm in the mood for duck again.

This is close enough, that I'm considering it Dallas. I liked everything we've chose. Soup dumplings- Xio lao bao and the pan fried dumpling were both delicious and surprisingly something that my children actually wanted to eat. This is more of an authentic restaurant, and so they don't even offer a french fries (childrens go-to food). So I was pleasantly surprised that they liked the dumblings enough to eat them all. The crab cheese puff was good, but the beef burrito was absolutely delicious. If choosing between those two- I would go for the burrito. The three pepper spicy chicken was also very good, and we especially liked the bang bang noodles with beef. It was a fun twist to have scissors and I love a location that makes their own noodles so that was fantastic. It would be great if we had them down in Houston. The only thing that I didn't love was the customer service. They we're not attentive, and I had to keep asking for things like straws for the cups, napkins and other basic things that you think they would bring out on their own. Overall, I'm not docking off any more stars because we were just grateful to have halal chinese options.

He always takes care of us and knows just what to recommend. Pretty sure he sees us and just puts in the duck order at this point.

But regardless, we didn't have enough skin so asked if we can get 2 more skins, even if we had to pay for them. The waitress barked at us that it comes in 10-pks and that she can't get us just 2 pieces. Fine, but there's no need to be annoyed and roll your eyes at us. The service was much to be desired. We ordered the A-Choy vegetable and it was awful, old and yellow and not cooked well. It's like they didn't sauté it in a hot enough wok so it wasn't crispy. So disappointing this time. Don't get me wrong, the Peking Duck and the soup that comes with it were still pretty good. Thus the second star.

I don't claim to be a Mapo Tofu snob, but I'd rank this pretty up there, from a flavor and spice standpoint. The Taiwanese Pork Chop Rice and Spicy Wonton were also great; although, I would have preferred the pork chop to be a bit juicier. Lastly, the Cucumber Salad had a nice marinade, with a nice crunch on the cucumbers themselves. Their menu is relatively extensive, making for another visit a must. Service: No wait on a Saturday afternoon. There were only a few tables occupied in the main dining area, but we were seated in a relatively secluded section to the right of the restaurant. Overall, service was OK--our food came out soon after it was ordered, and we were well attended to. Ambiance: Casual, traditional. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.
