    Bbq pork spareribs
    Karen C.

    Upon arrival the server (older gentleman who I now suspect was filling in until the regular servers arrived) asked, "can I help you?" There were no other customers present, and his tone made me wonder if we imposing on them before they were officially open. So I asked if they were open? Lol. Then he softened his tone slightly by replying yes, and asking for how many? I noticed as others arrived he didn't ask the same question and definitely not with the same "what the hell do you want" tone. Rather he greeted each of them with "hello, table for 2?" Hmmm. Ignoring that for a bit, we were hungry, and in preparation for placing our order we asked a question about a menu item - to which the server snapped at us - telling us basically that any "authentic" Chinese restaurant would prepare the item the way they do. Wow! Really? Again it was his tone. We contemplated leaving at that point but decided to try and make the best of the situation since we had done our research, liked the reviews, and already had our sodas, etc. In hindsight we shouldn't have stayed. The food wasn't bad except for the bbq ribs. They were extremely tough, full of fat, and we couldn't eat them. Even though we took leftovers we dumped them because of the memory of the experience. Won't be back and can't recommend. We'll take our GREEN money somewhere else. 2 stars for the food. If I could give zero stars for service I would.

    Restaurant front tons of free parking lot

    Honestly drove by this shopping so so many times never really noticed Canton Village until I had to pull over for a phone call. It's next to Trader Joes, Round Table and Michael's shopping plaza. On to the lunch and first impression. I was greeted right away not busy at all and got sat at any table I chose a booth close to the front. I was in the lunch special time slot so it that was a bonus . One thing noticed right away although the tables were clean they didn't have any condiments or hot sauces etc only one napkin and utensils spoon and a fork. Iced water was given right away I had to ask the server woman for black pepper, hot sauce because it wasn't readily available on the table . The Kung Pao shrimp was asked to be little spicy but it didn't have the dried out whole black/red peppers like it's supposed to. I have had better tasting Kung Pao shrimp in Downtown & in Pleasanton on Main Street .The egg flower soup was alright but overall the meal was just average Americanized Chinese food to me. Lots of to go orders were being picked up. They have a large banquet room, plenty of parking . Most important the value of the luncheon will probably have me come again to try another dish maybe at dinner time. It's been a Livermore staple for a while so they are doing Things right .4/5

    This place is really good. We even hosted a few events here and the food is always fresh and delicious. The food always comes no more than 10-15 min with is fast for a Chinese restaurant. Once got takeout and it was still good.

    Singapore noodles and spicy asparagus

    singapore noodles and spicy asparagus were great :) food arrived with in 10 minutes - great service - will definitely recommend to others and come back for more .

    Mongolian beef!

    Canton Village is a solid Chinese restaurant in Livermore! I'm so glad a friend introduced me to it. :) I recently visited for dinner on a weeknight and had no trouble getting a table. It seems like they do a lot of their business via takeout. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive. I ordered the Mongolian Beef at the waiter's suggestion. It was delicious - tender and flavorful beef mixed with onions. My friend ordered the orange chicken and it was perfection - I'd order this next time I visit! The orange chicken was breaded nicely and was the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory.

    Pork chow fun
    Monica C.

    Rounded up 3.5 stars. The first time I ordered takeout from here years ago (pre-pandemic), it was a 40 minute wait. I decided to try them again after seeing good Yelp reviews. The food was ready on time. It's conveniently located near Trader Joe's so I was able to get some groceries while the food was being prepared. The best dishes were the General's chicken and the sizzling rice soup. The cha siu bao tasted a little artificial to me and the chow fun noodles stuck together a bit. I think the pot stickers might taste better in person since they were a little soggy by the time I got home. I plan on dining in person in the future to try out different menu items.

    Dry, hard, pellets called rice and very small shrimp
    J S.

    We stopped by this restaurant on the way to Sacramento instead of going to the Ale House and boy was I disappointed. Rice is the main staple in any Asian restaurant and this was one of the worse plain rice I've ever had in my life of eating out. How can they not know how it make rice?!? First it was not piping hot as rice should be coming out of a rice cooker that stays warm. It was dry, hard, separated, and mealy. Now I've had all types of rice and this was VERY poorly cooked. Whoever cooked this one pot of rice should read directions on how to cook it or how much water should go into the rice cooker. This is not rocket science. I asked the young girl working there about it and she asked if I didn't want it...? No, I want rice, otherwise what would I eat my eggplant and Mongolian trio with? I asked why is hard and not hot? And she said they only had one pot of rice. Not sure what that means but hard cold mealy rice ruined this dinner. Who can enjoy eating anything with hard separated pellets that don't soak up any sauce be considered a good meal? Jasmine rice of high quality is fragrant, light, fluffy, and soft. Rice of any culture from Spanish, Japanese, or basmati is the highlight of any cuisine. Either learn how to make rice correctly, add more water, make a fresh batch but don't keep serving bad old rice. Ask ChatGpt or watch YouTube but to serve this rice at any restaurant establishment is plain awful. No wonder it was not busy on a weekend evening. Mongolian dish had way too many onions and not enough protein. Eggplant was too sweet and dry fried too long or fried prior as a fast prep method because it was not plump/juicy as it should be but rather wrinkly and dried out.

    Sauteed green beans. You can get them without the hot spice, and they're still yummy.

Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, the hostess was extremely rude, cold, and dismissive. Every question was met with attitude, and the way we were treated made us feel very unwelcome. As a family of a different nationality, I couldn't help but wonder whether that played a role. When I asked to speak with the manager, hoping she would address the situation, she was immediately defensive and completely dismissed my concerns. Sadly, the poor treatment continued with the rest of the staff. I kept giving them chances, thinking the next interaction would be better, but it wasn't. To top it off, the food was nowhere near the quality we remembered--it was mediocre at best. We came in excited to share a restaurant we had previously enjoyed with our family and left feeling unwelcome, disrespected, and extremely disappointed. After being repeat customers, this experience has completely changed how we feel about Uncle Yu's.

The man who answers the phone is always really nice and helpful when I call in an order, and has helpful advice and suggestions, like when I accidentally order all spicy dishes (and I'm feeding kids always) or if I just ask (do you have something with this and this?). I love how friendly and helpful they are here! They have a dedicated easy to access parking lot which I love over downtown places, and the interior looks nice and comfy although I've only ever done takeout. Everything is always hot and fresh, we've never had anything taste stale or old like Peking did in the end on Las Positas. The wonton soup also was delicious on last visit! Plenty of flavor but not too much oil, and my kids loved the broth. I was excited to learn you can swap in almost any entrees you want for the family meal, making it a good deal! I especially love the whiteboard menu of specials at the door. This is how our old favorite restaurant back home always did it, and I'm now taking it to mean the mark of a good restaurant.
