Especially during the extreme weather during the winter they're cold in here and during summer they're kind of over hot. The woman owner i deal with every time. She's incredibly kind caring and a darling to talk to. This older Asian woman who doesn't even know me came from behind the plexiglass window and spent some time talking to me on a few occasions. She even invaded my personal space and was mere inches away. Such an incredibly sweet woman. They're always very quick here when I've placed my orders. Very very quick service. One time she did get my order incorrect but made it right on my next order. The restaurant is basically pick up take out and they have delivery. It's a basic looking Chinese no frills restaurant with pics of the food for your ambiance viewing. The food itself is very good. Keeps me coming back aglain and again for more. Very friendly. The parking is along side the street right in front. Easy peasy.

"I give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think…read moretwice, it's all right" (Bob Dylan) We visited Yue Se twice for takeout. Visit #1 was for steamed pork dumplings, and two soups -Won Ton and Hot & Sour. The six dumplings ($6) were fantastic. Plenty of overall size with a thin noodle wrap, and a wonderful meat filling. I detected some diced water chestnuts in the filling which gave the dish a nice crunch. The dipping sauce that came with the dumplings was exceptional, so all in all, this was a fantastic dish. The Won Ton soup ($3.50) was stocked with five huge wontons, more than you usually see in comparable containers. And Lord oh Lord was my H&S soup ($3.75) excellent. Never mind that it was meatless, it was by far one of the very spiciest H&S soups I ever had, and that was fine with me. I can't tell you how much I loved it. Visit #2 was for two of their $8.99 Box Lunches, and they are quite a deal. You get one of 21 entrees plus fried rice and an egg roll. The $8.99 base price is for a chicken or tofu or vegetarian dish; upgrades to pork or beef or shrimp will be a buck or two more. Similarly, the $8.99 base price is for plain fried rice, but you can upgrade to beef or shrimp fried rice for $3 more. My wife ordered Snow Pea Chicken and I went for the Mongolian Beef prepared hot and spicy. My Box Lunch was excellent. The egg roll was full-sized, and not the slimmed down mini version you sometimes see in a lunch special. Yes, it was mostly cabbage, but tasted great and wasn't greasy at all. My Mongolian Beef was a winner with plenty of delicious and tender thinly sliced beef mixed in with onions, scallions, and peppers. It was prepared hot and spicy, and I loved it. Oh, and the lunch had plenty of fried rice too. The meals were so generously portioned that we each had half and will finish them up in a day or two. So that means we'll get 4 servings for about $20 total. And how can any Asian food loving Yelper argue with that?

Stopped here a night when my usual dining spot was closed. I decided to purchase orange chicken…read morew/pork fried rice, crab ragoons, pan fried dumplings, and two shrimp eggrolls. The orange chicken was tasty, and the pork fried rice was good, tasted fresh. On the other hand, my three other options weren't the best. I had gotten the crab ragoons and they tasted horrid, you could taste the oil it was fried with, making me to believe they may be using the same oil to fry everything without proper oil changes. The pan fried dumplings tasted like it had been cooked all the way through, it didn't have a pleasant taste. The eggroll tasted dry and I couldn't even finish them. I'm not one to usually throw away food, but after eating have of the crab ragoons, and a poor attempt at trying to finish the dumplings, I had to throw them away. If I ever bought from here again, I'd only buy a Dinner Combo w/Pork Fried Rice. No way would I trust their appetizer/fried options again.

We loved our old places so tough to live up to them. Most stuff we had was decent/fair. The pan fried dumplings were excellent. The crab Rangoon was really bad - almost all crab, with minimal cream cheese. Definitely looking forward to checking out a few other items on the menu.

I would definitely try again and do recommend.
