Lamb skewers
Tom L.

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.
Marianne C.

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
Bianca L.

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.

The customer service here is so friendly and sweet, you feel welcome from the moment you walk in…read more My fiancé and I grabbed a booth this time, but I couldn't help noticing the tables with giant lazy Susans throughout the dining room. This place is absolutely made for a group outing, and we're already planning to come back with a group to take full advantage. The food was a delight. The Singapore noodles had this wonderful curry flavor that I absolutely loved, and the combo fried rice was just as satisfying. We also ordered the Peking duck (P1 on the menu). It was good, though not quite as flavorful on its own as we'd hoped. That said, once you load it up with the hoisin, cucumber, and spring onions, it all comes together beautifully. The bao buns that came with it were soft and delicious, honestly a highlight. We also sipped on hot jasmine tea throughout, which was the perfect, refreshing complement to the whole meal. A solid spot with great vibes, tasty dishes, and room to grow on us even more with a return visit.

Cute little mom and pop show with affordable prices and good food! I wish the servers understood us…read moremore though bc I think they had a hard time when we were ordering. The bbq pork and roasted pork was okay. The bbq pork was lacking flavor and the roasted pork was not very juicy. Overall, we liked majority of our dishes. There was a few that lacked flavor but we would come back to try other dishes!

All the food had amazing flavors so I would recommend everything. My only note was the beef in the noodles was slightly chewy so I would suggest another protein option. The service was great. Our server was patient with us while answering our questions on the menu and knowing the menu well enough to recommend us things that suited our palettes. The restaurant is spacious with many tables to accommodate different size parties so it did not take long for us to get seated.

If you live in the area, it's a quality spot to get your soup dumpling fix. My Overall Rating - 3 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking, the first thing I noticed was Chef Sun's was very busy (great sign). The restaurant itself wasn't very memorable, and the table we sat at was next to a drink fridge and lots of traffic. 1/2 Star. Service - The staff at Chef Sun's was great, especially for a busy Chinese restaurant. The staff proactively kept our glasses full of water and were always on hand to help. Once we placed our order, food just kept coming from the staff as each dish was brought out piping hot and fresh. 1 Star. Food - The Xa Long Bao (soup dumplings) were nice and plump, freshly cooked and super-hot. This was the best part of the meal. The traditional Chinese dishes like their noodles were all a bit oily for my taste. Thee two appetizers - fried shrimp (very safe choice) were crispy without being greasy and the red dipping sauce was more sweet than spicy. And the spicy edamame was good. Overall plenty of good, but nothing super memorable. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Only if I'm in the area and I want soup dumplings. Chef Sun's Noodle & Dumpling has some oily noodles and great dumplings. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit here, but now that I know they exist, I'll stop by next time I want soup dumplings. 1/2 Star.

Love bamboo house! This is one of my favorite places to come whenever I'm craving Peking Duck. Not…read moreonly do you get the duck with the perfectly done crispy skin in a cute dish shaped like a duck, but you also get the rest of the duck in a bone broth soup. It's so much better than chicken soup with the tenderness and flavor. They give you plenty of the pancakes and veggies. David is the absolute best everrr! 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. Anyways, the pea shoots are basically one of the only vegetables I love to eat and I'm always so happy to see it on the menu here. All of the dishes are great and you really can't go wrong. Come with a small group for family style while enjoying the intimate environment and good food! There's always plenty of parking and it's perfectly located right off the freeway.

Of course we were here for the Peking Duck. Usually the half duck comes with 10 pieces of skins but…read morethis time we only got 8. It's possible that we may have had a couple stick together. 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.
