It's amazing that one of the best Korean places is a crab shack in Maine. Just north of Ellsworth . Luckily they were out of the chap jae, so I had to order the bi bim bap and it was fantastic. read more

YU Take Out - Bi bim bap - Korean Near Me - Hancock, Maine

We came by to grab some food on our way back from Ellsworth grocery shopping. We were happy to see they were open for the 2024 season as there are still limited eating options in the area until the rest of the businesses open up full time for tourist season. I ordered the spicy pork entree and my partner ordered a double cheeseburger with fries. Both dishes were tasty. I did notice their prices did go up from last year. read more

YU Take Out - Sooo! Yummy Bulglgi - Korean Near Me - Hancock, Maine

We had driven by this place a few times and decided to give it a shot. As others had mentioned, it is a Korean run joint with a few Korean dishes along with the expected Maine seafood fare. We ordered crab rolls, crab, mac & cheese, and some eggrolls. All were very good! The only reason why I would ding this place one star is that when we arrived, hoping to get lobster, we were told that they were out of lobster! Maybe we just went too late in the day. I would still recommend this place. read more

I had a lobster roll here today. The price was very reasonable, and it came with chips and cole slaw. The roll was loaded with lobster! Service is always friendly and quick. read more

It's dirty. The people are rude and the food just wasn't that great. Tried to the very soggy. There's a lot better places to get food in the area. I would skip this one. read more

Driving down Route 1 and I was hungry. Stopped here and it was quite the eclectic menu. They have standard seafood for the area and it was great. They also have some interesting Korean/Chinese dishes as well. Lobster Bisque and Fish Chowder were great. Egg rolls were exactly like I remembered as a child and the Scallop Dinner was great. I will stop here anytime I am in the area! read more

If you are looking for excellent seafood, fresh fresh lobster and fish, you might pass by this take out restaurant on Route One , not too far from Ellsworth. We would not have stopped but for a recommendation from a local friend. We have eaten here three times this summer, and each time the food was excellent. The lobster rolls were generous and the coleslaw very tasty. The one day that they were out of lobster( !!! ) we tried the fish and chips and it was excellent too ! The breading was light, not too greasy and the fish super fresh. I was impressed by the generous portion size. Now I might consider doing the fish and chips instead of the lobster on our next visit. There is a nice outdoor seating area with picnic tables and umbrellas, and also a covered and screened in seating area, so you can sit protected from any Maine sprinkles. read more

YU Take Out - Generous order of yummy fish and chips! - Korean Near Me - Hancock, Maine

Stopped by while driving to Bar Harbor and that was a great decision. Had a delicious Crab Roll with Cole Slaw and Chips for around $10. Most places around here are so expensive so I thought it was pretty affordable. They have a nice outdoor patio. read more

We come here every time we are in the area! Quality meals at reasonable prices. Never had anything we did not like! Korean food can be spicy, so be mindful if you don't tolerate spice. Lobster rolls are ALWAYS phenomenal! It is always quick and I love the use of the outdoor area for seating. read more

Can't believe we found great Korean food in Maine. The bibimbap is pretty good. The bulgogi was also very good. We wanted extra spice to it so we used the bibimbap sauce which made it perfect. If you are craving Asian food, this is the place to go. Credit cards have an up charge. Use cash if possible. read more

I've been going here since I was a small child back when it was hot Diggity dog. We live in the area seasonally and have been here many many times. Yu picks their own crab there and it is very fresh, their crab rolls are excellent. I like Tracys but every once in a while theirs can be hit or miss. I guess that's the case for anywhere, and lobster rolls too; you take the occasional tough and/or unpleasantly fishy once every once in a while and grin and bear it *gulp* But what really do you really expect from a roadside eatery in Downeast maine? And what are your other options? I suggest you try them all and see for yourself! But keep in mind They're all staffed by family Members, hit or miss, severely short staffed, and doing the best they can so go eat there, support them and use my two cents as an informed decision. SO! The Korean food is for me, personally both uneatable and inedible. I'm sure it's good for rural maine, but it's heavy, greasy and many components of each dish are over cooked. When Downeast Mexican is such a consistently good shining beacon for authentic Mexican cuisine, in my opinion Yu's korean is kind of like the McDonald's or cafeteria equivalent of Korean food. The eggrolls I've had here are sadly mediocre. I only come here now for their fish sandwiches so I can really only give you a truly thorough review of those. Their fried haddock can range from very fresh good great excellent and flavorful to-- ugh they have not changed the frying oil in too long bland under salted and flavorless. If we order fish sandwich(es) we have found we must ask for extra mayo and a side of mayo because they are extremely stingy with toppings and condiments, even ketchup packets. And napkins. When and if you ask for lettuce tomato and onion on your sandwich there you rarely ever get all three. When you receive said lettuce onion and tomato on your sammich-- The tomato is flavorless, the lettuce is wilted iceberg and the onion has been pre-cut (perhaps the day before, and or soaked in water for onion rings) so naturally it doesn't have very much onion flavor. You have to go back to beg and plead an offer to pay for a small portion of sliced vegetable for your sandwich and get an eye roll in return. I suggest bringing your own lettuce tomato onion, mayo, ketchup, and lemon wedges here to save yourself the trouble of groveling for toppings. However their fries are excellent!!!!!! They never have cut lemons, they always run out so we don't order fried clams there. They also tend to run out of onion rings, which are DEELICIOUS. If you haven't had MAINE onion rings, you haven't lived. I don't like their chowder or traceys for that matter. But we love traceys, Yu's has different days and hours. The one thing I will note is that you uses a proper roll for their fish sandwich (it's not a Kaiser but at least it holds up, Tracey's rolls are cheap and chintzy and immediately disintegrate into bits which makes for a very messy eating experience... but both places are an elbow is on the picnic table vehicle speeding down the highway at 60 miles an hour 20 feet away kind of place so who cares). HAPPY TRAILS AND TRAVELS TO YOU read more

Now I know what you're thinking. Asian food or a lobster shack? Well, never judge a book by the cover. We came here for a quick lunch bite and I'm a fan. We ordered the lobster roll and a cheeseburger from the window and were greeted by friendly staff. We waited a very short time before our food came out. There is no indoor seating but a bunch of picnic tables outside. It was a nice day out so that was fine with us for a quick lunch. The lobster roll was delicious and I have to say, the cheeseburger was amazing! I love burgers that are cooked correctly and not perfectly round like a frozen patty. This was an absolutely addictive cheeseburger. Great little side of the road restaurant! read more

Great crab rolls. They were out of the lobster rolls so I tried the bulgogi instead for something different and it was delicious. The egg rolls were great as was the fried clam dinner. We tried the blackberry ice cream afterwards and it was delicious. read more

Don't go here unless you like Saran Wrap cooked into your burger because that's what happens to my 10 yr old sons food,and when we told them about it they said I was lying and I put it in there because she said she prepared it and it wasn't there when she made it.so ya I guess I'm at fault for calling them out on this. I do not recommend this place! read more

We got ice cream- they had 24 flavors of soft ice cream! Yum!!! Looks like the serve Korean food And some seafood. Did not try it read more

Crab roll is always on point. And service is quick and friendly. Outside seating or Togo.

Amazing fried seafood!! I had the combo fried clams/scallops and they were the best fried seafood I have had in my life and I am 60 years old!! Huge serving of at least 12 large clams and 12 large scallops. My husband got the fish and chips and his fish was delicious, generous portions, and white and flaky. Don't pass this place by! read more

We tried the crab rolls and crab cake, both were good. Staff was friendly and prices were good.

Great Korean food for local Maine. My mom really likes the crab rolls. Thank you for being here during the summer.

Great crab rolls. Very fresh and on a nice toasted and buttered split top roll. Awesome deal too: 2 for under $20 and they came with slaw and chips. read more

This is a roadside tourist trap. The special was for 1 crab roll and 1 lobster roll. For $19. What they dont tell you is the size or how much meat they put in. I have had several lobster rolls and this place is by far the worst. Both rolls were very small with just a pinch of meat in each. I took all the crab out of 1 and put it in with the lobster. It still was less than what others make for 1 roll. A waste of time and money. read more

After a trip to Schoodic, my friend and I decided to give this place a try. My Aunt had raved about the egg rolls. My goodness, she was right. We had two orders of egg rolls and an order each of the chicken and the vegetable wontons. I think they must use air fryers because everything was super crispy, super fresh and not at all greasy. I definitely will be going again while in the area. We ordered and sat at one of their outdoor picnic tables not wanting to risk the food getting soggy by waiting till we got back to camp. The food was so good! read more

Decent crab rolls but for the price, you really can't ask for more. It comes with slaw and chip and properly filled. Unfortunately for us, all the korean food were sold out when we got there so we didn't get the chance to try that. The chowder and the fish and chips were alright. Definitely not something you'd come here especially for. More like something you might order if you've decided to grab the crab roll deal. read more

Absolutely delicious off the road foodstand! We are going to definitely be returning when we come back to Maine in October!

Not your average lobster/crab shack. They have Korean food, barbecue, and seafood. Tasty and unique offerings with decent prices. We were really happy to find this place. Many lobster shacks are not yet open on May 15th. We were very pleased with this place. We had crabs rolls, fish and chips, and the huge egg rolls. You might fill up on these two egg rolls for just $5! We had two crab rolls with chips and slaw for just $20.95. We may even come back later this week for some Kimchi, Japchae, spicy pork tacos, and MORE EGG ROLLS! read more

The owner here is an absolute jerk! He had a crap attack about where we were parked when there is no outlined parking spots. The price is majorly overpriced! The shakes are watered down! Will not be coming back . read more

Quick, easy takeout. They even have a screened in dining area, if you want to eat there (no table service.) We ordered the chicken teriyaki skewers (delicious and lean), bi bin bop (excellent and authentic), fish chowder (meaty), Szechuan chicken (tasty), and fried chicken wontons (really good and crispy). The food was all ready in about 15 minutes. We got all of that for about $50. read more

Ordered a crab roll (advertised as $2) that came with about 10 potato chips and tiny portion of coleslaw and an order of the fried scallops (1/4 lb) that came with fries and a tiny dish of coleslaw and they charged $40.00. Crab roll was good, scallops were decent, but definitely not worth $40.00. read more

When I'm in Maine, roadside seafood shacks are all I ever want. YU takeout fulfills this craving ten fold. I got a crab roll as a shift from the usual lobster, and it was perfect: warm crispy roll, jam packed with delicious, juicy crab, perfect ratio of meat to mayonase. No complaints here, price was very reasonable, especially for the area. The korean twist on classic New England seafood shack was fun too. My friend go the potstickers and loved them too. Will certainly be a regular stop when I'm up in the area. My mouth is already watering thinking about next time. read more

The fried clams were the star of our order. Beautifully well-prepared - not over-cooked, but still crunchy. Crab rolls were quite good but honestly I'd just assume make my own as around here you can get really fresh crab meet and crab rolls are not exactly a challenge, and many really good recipes online. For how popular, the service is prompt and the wait lines not really bad. If you don't want to sit and wait, go on weekdays and the lines are no issue. read more

Surprised to find this better than even the nearby fancy sit-down restaurants! We had the seafood and found it to be amazing.

Delicious!!!! It's worth every penny! Everything on the menu there is amazing! It is always very busy. It is also well priced for all you get. The outside isn't much to look at but they do have cute picnic tables to eat at! We really enjoy this place. It's a very popular tourist attraction as well. Service is quick as well. read more

Easy to pass by this place (and we did many times) as it looks like a tourist trap and the name is a bit cheesy. Ignore all that. We saw more local people here than any other restaurant we visited in the area. The prices are the best you are going to find. The staff are friendly and efficient albeit sometimes a bit dirty looking with stains on their t-shirts (hard workers!). Anything fried is delicious - perfectly cooked and not greasy. We tried the eggroll, fish, chicken tenders, and chicken nuggets. The french fries - don't get me started! Hot and crisp with a bit of breading that adds just the right crunch. We literally fought over these things. The lobster stew is served in a luscious cream sauce. There are no vegetables just lobster and the sauce. But boy is it good! The lobster roll has a bit of dressing, and they do take the extra step of toasting the roll which makes a huge difference. The crab rolls were another menu item we fought over. All white crab meat in a light dressing again on a toasted roll. These were to die for! Oddly enough(remember the name YU Take Out), the only thing we were disappointed in were the Korean ribs and fried rice . The ribs had more of a boiled texture and the fried rice had no flavor. So skip those but don't skip this place! read more

After repeatedly seeing a sign for 2 crab rolls for $18, we decided to stop here the last day of our trip. We were kicking ourselves afterwards for not stopping the first time we passed it. The service was fast. The crab rolls were delicious. This place will be a regular stop during futures visits. read more

While staying on a lake house in Franklin Maine I kept passing this place. Seemed to always be cars in the lot so I had to stop and get my first lobster roll in Maine. I got a lobster and crab roll combo. The crab roll was good. The lobster roll was a huge let down. Meat was super tough and chewy and almost fishy flavor. All the other food was decent read more
