    crispy char siu bao (3)
    Chase F.

    We really liked our food at Hey Yuet. Dim sum often gets overlooked, but is a really fabulous way to try a lot of different foods from one place, and I'm glad we did. The Bao Buns are the star of our meal. Fluffy, fresh, and very tasty. The puer tea was better quality than I've ever had at a restaurant, and they gave you a nice serving for $7. Prices overall here are perfect. One let down was half the duck. Why half? It seems like they brined it vertically, so the bottom parts were salty and delicious, but the top breast was pretty cold and bland. We also think the duck sauce didn't pair well and a hoisin would be a better fit. The decorations inside are nice, but it does get very loud. The staff was overstretched, with them taking our order and never checking on us again. We needed to flag someone down to get our check and still waited another 8 or so minutes for them to come back. We would go back.

    Quick and easy lunch! Hey Yuet has a good lunch deal and portions and the service was attentive. I say it's a great place to stop by for lunch!

    Pork Soup Dumpling and Walnut Shrimp
    Aida F.

    Came on a busy Sunday (though dim sum places are usually busy on Sundays). Made a reservation last minute and was able to get seated immediately while walk-ins before me had to wait. I order the shrimp rice roll, walnut shrimp, soup dumplings, and a chrysanthemum tea. Now shrimp rice rolls are my all time favorite so I am rarely particular how they're made because sometimes they just fall apart, which defeats the whole purpose of the shrimp being in a roll. But these however were perfectly done, they held well and were the perfect texture and soo savory. Honestly some of the best I've had. The tea was in a cute kettle and they filled the tea to the very top, a bit too much as it spilt a bit on the table. Make sure to let your tea steep before pouring. I made a mistake of not and it was a little watered down at first. As for the soup dumpings they were very good. Make sure in order to keep the soup inside to use the tongs and very slowly grab the dumplings from the very top and slowly pull it up and off of the wrapper, then placed the dumpling on the soup spoon. Then I recommend biting off the top part of the dumpling and pouring the sauce inside. They were so good and the soup held very well. The walnut shrimp was so delicious huge portion, perfect ratio of shrimp to broccoli and the flavor was so yummy. I would have to say walnut shrimp is one of my new regulars to order at dim sum places and this place did it well. The dining area was cute. There's two separate rooms. the first room where you walk in is where they cash you out and where the hostess is. The second room is where the dining is. There's decor of cameras and Chinese signs. A lot of Cantonese spoken staff there. And my favorite decor, was in the woman's bathroom.

    Pork Soup Dumpling

    Stumbled off the train around 11am on a Monday with loose plans for the day. There's lots of food available in and around Penn Station, but we decided to search Yelp for Dim Sum. Hey Yuet was a quick enough walk in the rain and worth getting a little damp for. We arrived before the lunch rush, so we were seated immediately and started ordering soup dumplings, rice rolls and a variety of other delicious dim-sum options. We ate our faces off. I wanted to keep going but hit maximum capacity and waddled out of there very fat and happy. Everything was wonderful-including the service. There were 2 young people managing all of the tables - they did great job. I sent some of the food pics to friends that no longer live in/near NYC..they were very jealous.

    Walking into HEY YUET feels like stepping through a time capsule straight to 1950s Hong Kong warm lights, vintage décor, and the comforting aroma of freshly steamed dim sum. Great aesthetic and an extensive menu featuring authentic Cantonese cuisine.

    Tofu Eggplant Pot
    Ashwini A.

    SERVICE - located near Penn station - decently sized interior with tables to seat groups of 2-4 - service is polite but not overly friendly - ambiance suited for a semi casual meal - restrooms available for customers in the back of the restaurant MENU - cantonese cuisine - vegan/vegetarian options available upon request - average price ($20 per person) FOOD - tofu chow fun (6/10): stir fried rice noodles with deep fried tofu chunks in a sweet and soy sauce heavy sauce. This was a custom dish we ordered based on our server's suggestion. When eaten on its own it was just okay. The sauce was predominantly soy based giving it a strong salty and umami taste. The tofu tasted like it was fried in old oil as it was not crisp but soggy. - eggplant tofu clay pot (6/10): eggplant and tofu in a sweet and sour sauce. This was presented very interestingly in a hot pot that was still steaming. While i liked the tofu in this slightly better, it still tasted old. The sauce was also too sweet and tasted almost dessert like. WOULD I GO BACK? No, I was not a huge fan of the food and it made my stomach hurt.

    Service was honestly pretty bad. My friend ordered rice and didn't receive rice until he was halfway done with his entree. My other friend has a shrimp allergy and there was no mention of what the wontons in his soup contained on the menu. A simple "wonton soup" was listed under appetizers and that's what we ordered, only to have it taken back. Then, as someone who specifically asked for chicken and duck, no pork, in my 2 choice protein meal, received 2 servings of duck and pork. I asked the server if they had my order correct and they informed me I ordered 3 proteins, not 2. They offered to charge me for my 2 protein meal. After the server left the table, my friends say they heard me request only chicken and duck. Anyway, for the price, the meals are filling and they weren't untasty. As far as service is concerned, however, it was absolutely according to whatever the servers wanted to do. And so for that, I wouldn't entirely want to come back.

    The place was solid. Dim sum choices are a little limited but they were delicious. We ordered some larger dishes to share as well and they were tasty. We liked the roasted duck a lot! Desserts were super cute. Service was great. The place was very cold on a cold day. Wish they had more heat.

    Chicken w. Broccoli
    Dom G.

    Good decent lunch time men, available Monday to Friday. Chicken and broccoli came with rice and soup. Also ordered some dim sum items as my friend ended meeting me there. Place is clean and was good to see decent lunch traffic at the restaurant. Less than $20 pp for a lunch special and 3 dim sum items.

    Sticky Rice deconstructed
    Esther T.

    They had a deal on Uber Eats, so I gave them a try. Unfortunately, it really fell short in comparison to my go-to dim sum spot. I ordered shumai, chicken feet, sticky rice and a roast pork rice bowl. Shumai was not good. Just a mushy texture. Chicken feet and sticky rice were fine. Roast pork rice bowl was abysmal. I've never seen roast pork slices that huge my entire life. The meat was dry, the fried egg was overdone. Super underwhelming place. If you're desperate, go for it. If you have choices, pick somewhere else.

    Tasty food, fast service, good ambience. Checks all boxes. The fried rice was our favorite.

    Tina C.

    Delicious! We walked out of Penn Station craving some brunch and stumbled upon this place right as it was opening. We didn't make a reservation, though would recommend doing so because it got packed very quickly. Service was efficient but can be delayed as there were 2-3 staff serving the whole restaurant. We ordered off their dim sum menu (shu mai, soup dumplings, pork ribs, pork and veggie bun) and their lunch menu (char siu and duck over rice). Everything was very umami, warm, and tasty. Also ordered the Hong Kong milk tea (no boba), which was delicious and not too sweet. Cozy and clean interiors, indoor seating only, modest sized space.

    Taipan Mei Fun
    Alexa K.

    Absolutely amazing experience! Pick up was super efficient, and this Mei Fun was one of the best I've had in the city. Totally recommend this place for a great bite in Chelsea!

    Do we need a reservation for a Sunday?

    Yes.

    Is it BYOB?

    I would suggest calling the restaurant. When I visited I didn't notice a wine or liquor menu but that was during the soft opening. Maybe it has changed now?

    How long will the soft opening promotion last?

    around a month maybe

    I ordered the General Tso's chicken which was highlighted as a favorite on their menu for good…read morereason. It was absolutely delish. The sauce was spicy & you could enjoy the sweetness as well. The chicken always tender and juicy. The broccoli was steamed fresh. The spring rolls we a little over cooked for my liking but had a great flavor. The restaurant is themed but I a very taste way with paper lanterns hanging from the ceilings The staff was responsive and kind. Definitely would come here again.

    I'm a big fan of Cantonese cuisine, so I was excited to try Uncle Lou's! I went on a weekend…read moreevening, and they were PACKED. There was a wait list, tons of reservations, and the whole place was hustling and bustling. The food smelled amazing, and the ambiance was lively and fun overall. We were excited to eat! We were walk-ins, so I appreciated that they were able to get us in. The hostess was running a very tight ship - very "no BS"/no nonsense ... and hey, I get it, it was crazy, but at times it erred a bit unnecessarily rude? It just left me feeling a bit off, but not the end of the world. Food-wise, we tried a lot of different things. The highlight was honestly the scallion pancakes. They were DELISH! Not too doughy, not too dry, and the vinegar dipping sauce was amazing (I know it's just the standard vinegar but dang it's so good). It was a classic really well executed. The steamed pork dumplings were also quite yummy. For our mains, we got the garlic baby bok choy, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. The beef chow fun looked amazing and we had heard really good things about it, but unfortunately it was a little dry and lacked flavor... just sort of bland? We ended up pouring some of the vinegar sauce over it, which helped, but I was a little disappointed because it looked so good. The baby bok choy was really loaded it up with garlic chunks and was also yummy and a good portion. It was juicy and had a great texture, but my only note was that it felt like it needed just a little more seasoning or salt? Overall, though, it was good. The kung pao chicken was INTENSE. I knew it'd be spicy, but truthfully it was my first time ever trying it and it was a tad difficult to eat without rice. The chicken thighs had a texture that felt a little gummy to me? I wished the chicken had been a bit more browned too. The peanuts and veggies rocked, but the sauce and chicken were huge misses for us. I typically would never send anything back, but my friend insisted as it was tough to enjoy. They did take our dish from the table... but then a manager brought it back and was a bit condescending towards us saying they didn't do that and everyone knows it's a spicy dish... which, I'm trying to be fair about because he didn't know it was my first time, but it just again felt unnecessarily rude. I hate wasting food, so we kept it and took it home rather than let it go to waste. I just thought the whole interaction was a little strange. Truly - I wasn't really looking to get something for free. We just didn't enjoy the dish and were trying to figure out what our options were and it basically felt like he just came over to make us feel small instead of problem solving together. Weird. I'm always one for second chances so I'm hoping to try it again, but I would highly recommend making a reservation to ensure a calmer experience.
