    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Chicken w. Broccoli

    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.

    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.

    My friend suggested this place and after comparing reviews via google and Yelp, I was looking forward to it especially after seeing pictures of the chicken and Chinese broccoli. Made reservations through the site via google. There was no line so I think you can just walk in but did go there on a Tuesday. Kicked it off with soup dumplings (pork) which was on the smaller end in size compared to the ones I've had in other spots but still good and comes in 4. Also got the chicken and mushroom dumpling which the inside had a shumai-vibe to me (4 piece). For the mains, got the beef chow fun which was good with plenty of beef. I haven't had chicken with Chinese broccoli in a long time so had to get the chicken with Chinese broccoli which was predominately broccoli, just wished it was more balanced but still good. Overall it was a good experience and wait staff would always fill our cups with water and asked if we needed anything. I would say this is not a place to go out your way to but solid if your in the area and in the mood for good Chinese food. *Good service

    No wait needed on a Saturday afternoon. They offer dim sum and Cantonese style dishes such as three meats over rice or some crispy noodles and rice and so much more. Service was quick and efficient for the most part. Interior is two dining rooms with some interesting items on the walls. The thousand year old egg and pork congee was delicious as the pork was marinated very well and packed with flavor. The Siu Mai was really good too. Rice noodles were good. The three meat was a little dry, but overall sim Sun dishes were not bad.

    Back for dim sum. Great selection of both dim sum dishes and entrees. Wish tea was free. Otherwise great selection and flavors.

    Was craving some dim sum and this was a great place to come! Came by myself around 11 am on a Sunday and was able to get a seat. The inside is cute and has nice decor. The menu has a variety of options and it was hard to choose. I ordered the Crispy char siu bao, Roast pork Rice roll , and Pan fried pork and veggie bun. They were all delicious. Prices were very fair ~$7 for each. I was so full afterward. I would love to come back with a group and try a lot of different things!

    Chicken feet

    Freezing cold, not at life-threatening levels but enough to make you wonder. I'm guessing the temperature was in the mid-fifties, at the highest. The food was okay, though some of the wrappers on the dumplings had hardened and the soup dumplings were stuck to the basket, making them impossible to remove without spilling the broth. Chicken feet were good but not cooked long enough to make it easy to suck the meat off. Service was okay. Prices were low and portion sizes were generous. But the overwhelming impression of the meal was of the teeth-chattering cold (even though we never removed our heavy winter coats and scarves). Even the bathroom had no hot water and the air hand dryer blew cold air (I was hoping to restore feeling to my fingers, but no luck). Unless you're adept with chopsticks while wearing winter gloves, avoid on cold days.

    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

Dish highlights include the shrimp and chive dumplings, beef chow fun, and my personal favorite, the stuffed eggplant. Other items were a little bland, like the turnip cakes and har gow, and the pan fried shrimp noodles were awkwardly plated and made them difficult to eat. I also wish they had rice noodle rolls, which I didnt see on the menu. Really what pushed it to 5 stars to me was the service. We came as a huge group of 20, with a baby and stroller in tow, and they handled everything without so much as a grimace, just an outpouring of helpfulness. They sat half our group at a round table and the other half at a rectangular long table and also helped us navigate dietary restrictions, asking specifically who in the group had those restrictions. The menu is labeled too, so you know which items are vegetarian or gluten free. At one point our helpful server noticed we hadn't really touched that awkwardly plated noodle dish and offered to replace it with another. We didn't take him up on that as I'd find that wasteful but I thought that was so attentive and earned them a generous tip. The space is nice looking, and the food came out very quickly. We also didn't break the bank, even with plenty of drink orders. Dao's is an easy recommendation, especially when you factor in how seamlessly they handled our chaos.

I was browsing for places with scallion pancakes and I came across this restaurant. I saw they had a scallion pancake beef rook which I'd never seen before. It was fried and crispy on the inside with tender beef on the inside, that was slightly savory slightly sweet. I had the roll on its own, which made for a light meal, but it can also be enjoyed as a large snack. It was a little greasy, which can be expected, but not sure if I'd get it again. I did think it was innovative though. The most impressive thing about the restaurant was actually the space. I came to pick up my food and was surprised to see this beautiful place. The outside is unassuming and nothing special but inside has the aesthetic of an old Shanghai restaurant. It's ornate and slightly quirky. It's also really big, bigger than I expected. Even the bathrooms had traditional Chinese flare with the sliding doors. Definitely worth checking out,

It's also nicely decorated, which makes you feel like you're in China. It's definitely for a younger crowd with how loud this place gets.

Some of the most memorable dishes were the Mapo Tofu ($13.99), Hutaoli Roast Chicken ($43 for whole), Spicy Pot Potato ($19), Roasted Green Beans ($22), etc. All of the food is good, but definitely pricey. While the food also came out quickly, our drinks came out towards the end of our meal. It's a good spot for big parties as it never got too busy even on a Saturday night. They also have private rooms. The live music was fun, but also made it hard to have conversation.
