    General chicken
    Danna B.

    Siu is our favorite - whether it's the Korean bbq side or the express. We always order the general chicken lunch combo with hot and sour soup! Other items we have ordered and loved are the popcorn chicken, fried calamari, garlic noodles, beef broccoli and spicy pork belly. So good and can't beat the price! We have tried the drinks here and honestly, it's not our favorite. I've tried the oolong milk tea and Thai iced tea, both are just ok. Today, I tried the Vietnamese iced coffee and maybe we just had a bad batch or something because it was far from a Vietnamese iced coffee. I was expecting a strong coffee taste, but it just tasted like milk. Just by looking at the drink, you can tell it was mostly milk. Not gonna take off a star though, because I'm hoping we just got a bad batch.

    Excellent service, the staff is super fast and accommodating, the atmosphere is so relaxed and friendly and then there was the food; so much good food. The price is worth the service alone; what a great find. We will definitely be back.

    5 season wings, nice crispy and delicious

    Best Chinese food I have had in a while. We were on a family road trip from California and are foodies at heart so we gave this place a chance and were not disappointed at all! It looks like a hole in the wall from the outside but looks can be deceiving, the inside was not what we expect, very nice and clean establishment. Employees were so helpful and polite. We ordered the 5 season wings to start (then a second order to finish. That's how great they tasted). For a family of 4 we ordered combo chow mien, combo fried rice and beef with broccoli. Everything tasted amazing and fresh. We could not leave without trying out their boba teas and of course again we were not disappointed. When ever we are in town again, this will be a must go to for us again.

    Came here for a milk tea and a sea salt caramel ice mocha with boba. Did not like the milk tea as the tea has a weird Earl Grey like flavor. The sea salt caramel was pretty sweet and lacking that salty foam goodness. We wouldn't come back for boba drinks here. Service was good and the place is really nice. On the flip side the Chinese food menu looks good and we would like to come back and try some of those items. This review for BUBBLE TEA only

    This review is for the boba drinks only, but I can't wait to try the food! I've had a few different drinks and they are always pretty good. Not the best I've ever had, but they have a good flavor and plenty of customizable options. I found the milk tea to be a little watery for my liking, but the boba is perfectly cooked! I had the coconut milk tea this last time. Great flavor, not too sweet! I think I would like it in blended form better so I'll try that next time! Customer service is always great and they are pretty quick. Like I said, I can't wait to try the food. The menu looks great!

    Generals Chicken no brocolli

    The best Chinese food in town. My favorites are the lunch specials Mongolian Beef and Generals Chicken. They give big servings and quality and taste are the best in town. So cheap too. Try their milk teas they are good too. Food is always fresh. Loved their chow mein, Generals Shrimp and Orange Beef too!

    Chicken w/ broccoli and Hawaiian steak
    Shadia A.

    Chinese isn't my favorite cuisine but Siu's food has me second guessing my choices. They definitely have some of the best Chinese food in town. It's always fresh and tasty. The portions are big and at a reasonable price. They also have lunch and dinner specials that come with rice and soup. It's a lot of food to say the least. I always get the chicken and broccoli with hot and sour soup. They also have a lot of appetizers; my favorites are the crab rangoons, sweet potato fries, and popcorn chicken. One of the main reasons I find myself coming here is for the boba! I've tried a lot of boba places and Siu beats out most of them. Their drink menu is simple and consistent. You won't get overwhelmed by a million different drinks like at some other boba places. Less is always more. My go to drinks are the Thai tea and Vietnamese iced coffee. The sea salt cream is a game changer and a must try! You can customize how sweet you want your drink as well. It can be 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%. I don't have a big sweet tooth so I always go with 25% and it's perfect. They also do take out so if you call ahead they'll have it ready for you by the time you arrive. The workers are very friendly and welcoming. The service is fast and always high quality. The Asian express is connected with their kbbq restaurant so make sure to check that out too!

    Mongolian Beef with Veggies
    Beatrice A.

    New or a local? This will be your go-to-take out ...thank me later! Being new to Reno and coming from Texas full of great food. It was a must to find my go to Asian take out spot! After trying a few, I always found myself going back to Sui. The food is always consistent, my favorite is their beef fried rice. Their beef is always nice and soft and full of flavor! The best part to top of things is their boba bar, (highly recommend Iced Caramel Salted Latte w/boba) is not to disappoint.

    Jasmine milk tea with boba, 1/2 sweet. PERFECT
    Stefanie Q.

    Love this spot! I don't come too often, but if I'm in the mood for some comfort food in the way of general's chicken and a boba drink, this place hits the spot. Lunch special prices are the way to go, and the portions are super generous. The broccoli beef is a fav, and I love their chow mein. The employees are always friendly, and the ambience in the dine-in is casual yet modern and makes for a great lunch or dinner date.

    New favorite bubble tea place. The boba is nice and soft. Thai tea flavor was not overly sweet.

It's great that their milk base is already non-dairy and that you can adjust your sweetness level. There's lots of tea options and topping options. The staff was friendly and did a stellar job with making my boba drink. I ordered original boba milk tea at 20% sweetness - it was perfect. Not too sweet and the boba consistency was just right! One of the best bobas in town. I also ordered the vanilla egg waffle and it was nice and crispy in the outside.

They even have an air hockey and foosball table. The fact that they have halo halo drinks is definitely a plus in my book because I've been craving it and I can't find Halo halo anywhere in Reno. They had two options: Taro/Ube or Buko Pandan. I went with the Buko Pandan (if you know, you know). And my husband got the Tiger smoothie. The halo halo isn't the traditional dessert where you use a spoon and eat it, BUT I love the convenience of it being a drink and using the same ingredients anyway. I do like the Buko Pandan flavor so next time I'm going to try the Ube. The Tiger smoothie was also really delicious! You can taste both the Thai tea and the milk. It was on the sweeter side, but was still pretty delicious. There was only one employee working the store so it did take a while because a lot of other people showed up after us. But I'll definitely be back to try more things!

    Hidden Gem!!! Authentic Banh Mi!!! Nice boba!!! Dairy free alternatives…read more I'm so glad I stepped into this wonderful and locally owned establishment. Vibes are cute and cozy, not ample seating but could probably fit a group of 6. Cute backdrops for those social media posts. Boba and drink: So many options. I got the coconut milk tea and it's coconut forward which I love. Elite tip, it's sweet so you may not need to any any sugar or sweetener to this. I love that they give you the option to also choose between milk alternatives and sweetness levels!!! Banh mi This is the star of the show! I have been craving a good authentic banh mi since my favorite place closed and I found it. The meat is well seasoned, the picking on the carrots and daikon are perfect, cucumbers are fresh, and they use banh mi paste!! The price is also very competitive. I got the grilled pork will get their Locked cut next time. 5/5 Lastly the service was great! Friendly greeting, staff answered questions, and it was a truly enjoyable experience. I'll be back!!!

Their regular fruit teas are also tasty and refreshing! Staff was friendly. The vibe inside is cute, lots of space to sit and super clean! I definitely recommend coming here for the bahn mi and drinks! Looking forward to trying their hot teas when it gets cold.

    SIU Korean barbecue is solid Korean barbecue restaurant. I've come here many times over the years…read moreand appreciate the authenticity of the menu and experience. The menu is full of cups of meat and not found at the other KBBQ restaurant and generally speaking quality is there on all of it. We enjoyed the birthday celebration here the other night, and discovered a few new favorites, including the pork GALBI, which is delicious, sweet, tender cuts of lean pork marinated in the sweet sowing which grows up wonderfully and delivers a nice char. I also am a huge fan of the Sydney slice of beef tongue that cooks chicken. Did that in a little bit of sesame oil salt or add a bit of the seasoning spice from your condiment tray and throw that in lettuce or radish wrap, and you are set. They also offer a couple of specialty cuts at dinner only like the thousand stripe and premium GALBI, which is a crosscut beef short rib. I personally think their short rib is the best in town as it comes out nicely marinated and extremely tender with just the right amount of fat versus some of the others that I've tried which have a substantial amount of fat versus meat. There was also a specialty cut of fatty pork that I cannot remember the Korean Nemo, but that took a long time to cook, even though it was in sliced, but then result was this delightfully crispy piece of meat that could be eaten on its own or added to another wrap that you were creating and was quite enjoyable. The reason for decreasing into four stars is just service. That's where the other KBBQ has this place beat. Part of a we were seated at two tables right next to each other and for some reason, it seemed one table received more attention than the other and after a point it seemed that the server just stopped coming back altogether, and they also forgot items multiple times throughout the meal left water glasses on filled and didn't clear place on the act. Normally not a big deal but you're consuming so much as a larger party and you're dealing with brought meat. You are putting your diners at risk for not helping to make sure that we maintain a clean and sanitary dining experience. Even to the end of the meal, the server did not come back to see if we wanted to order more food or bring us a check and I had to get up and go to the front to ask for it. Lastly, I was shocked that they did not have any hot sake in the restaurant to order nor did they offer any type of dessert either included or for purchase. We came to celebrate a birthday and can't be the only people that stop here for special occasions, so I would assume that there are people that want that when they're dying here and it was just surprising to hear that. Again, this is a great Korean barbecue spot and then I will certainly return to you and hope that the service experience improved so that the dining experience overall is that much better.

Yelp Elites Michael T and Kathy B are right about the meat sweats!! It's been a few weeks since we went so I can't recall all of the meats we tried, but the spicy pork belly is one I remember as it was delightful. The kimchi stew is INCREDIBLE, and I enjoyed the banchan a lot. Depending on where you sit, either a server or robot cart with a cute face will deliver your food and drink. I'm generally anti-robot, but these are adorable! The ambiance is nice, but prepare to get pretty smoky. They do a great job of swapping grills often to prevent some of this, but smoke happens. Definitely will be back in the future!
