This is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Sometimes there's even long lines as well when you come. They are that popular n good

    Spicy orange chicken fries

    This place is delicious. A typical Chinese food walk up were you can get a two item combo of pre made meat, rice, and noodles, but they also have a secret menu!!! I was instructed to get the pin noodle deluxe and spicy orange chicken fries. The pin noodle deluxe was soooo good. The delux noodles have beef, chicken, and shrimp. The noodles are tossed in a chili oil that is made in house. The sauce is all natural with no msg. I couldn't stop eating them. The spicy orange chicken fries were so good too!! I was told that if I wanted them to go, I should request the fries extra crispy. This way they don't get soggy. If you like a loaded fry, you definitely need to try these. My group also got the combo C, which is 3 meats, chow main, and fried rice. We got sweet and sour chicken, bbq pork, and broccoli beef. All were great. They don't skimp on their servings either! Ours containers could barely close! Overall, it was a great experience for me. The food and staff were great. I will definitely be coming back. Worth the drive for sure.

    OG in the game and incredibly delicious. The home of the original recipe for Orange Chicken fries. Perfectly crispy fries and juicy chunks of crunchy orange chicken with a heaping serving of green onions and spicy mayo on top. It's a perfect balance of tangy and savior textures that you and whoever you wanna share it with will love! Service is quick even if the lines get long! Small indoor seating available but they some outside too!

    Chow fun with beef

    We came back a few months later and tried some other items. It wasn't busy like the last time and it was a lot cooler. This time we ordered Spam Fried Rice, Beef Pin Noodle with Chili Oil, and Orange Chicken Carry-out noodles (chow mein). Wow, these items were even better. The noodles take the orange chicken flavor to new heights, they were soo good, and I think I like it better than the fries! The other two were just as good too! I could definitely eat the spam fried rice all day if I could

    The place was nice and clean the staff was very friendly and very helpful. Food was fresh and fast so much flavor. The price was very decent for the amount of food they gave. I was help by Lia she was so sweet . I totally understand why it's so hyped on social media. I recommend if you're in the area come check them out . I love the orange chicken fries with the spicy peppers. The chow mein was delicious also next time I'm try the other stuff on the menu. But today I came for the fries

    We finally checked out Mr. You's Chinese Food in Montclair after seeing all the hype about their viral Orange Chicken Fries, and it definitely lived up to much of the buzz. The Orange Chicken Fries were the highlight of our visit--my son absolutely loved them. The fries were crispy and flavorful, and the orange sauce paired really well with them. Presentation was also on point, making it easy to see why they've become so popular online. The portions are incredibly generous, so you'll definitely get your money's worth. Customer service was friendly and efficient, especially considering how busy they were. The only downside was the wait. The line was extremely long, and we waited about 30 minutes before reaching the counter. If you're planning to visit, be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially during peak hours. My only critique is the orange chicken itself. While the flavor was very good, the batter was noticeably greasy and seemed to absorb quite a bit of the frying oil. It wasn't enough to ruin the dish, but it was something I couldn't help but notice. Overall, the food was delicious, the portions were excellent, and the staff provided great service. If you're a fan of Chinese food or have been wanting to try the viral Orange Chicken Fries, I definitely think Mr. You's is worth a visit. Just arrive with a little patience--the line moves, and the food is worth the wait.

    Orange chicken fries are a must-have

    Stopped in for dinner the other day. Plenty of parking is available. The restaurant itself is small, charming and don't be surprised how packed it can get but service it friendly and efficient. They are the home of the Orange chicken fries. These are a must have. From the house made Orange chicken sauce, the crispy crinkled fries and the crispy on the outside but tender on the inside chicken, everything screams try me! And you will need someone to share these with cause the portion is massive! We also got a simple combo plate that took me back to my childhood. Lots of steamed white rice with char sui and beef ribs on top. The beef ribs were fall off the bone tender. The char sui was fatty, tender and delicious. Some of the best char sui ever! And believe it or not we got one more plate. They have chow fun. So rare to see a mostly take-out place with chow fun. Ask for it with chili oil. We got chili oil beef chow fun. Another massive order and some good heat level come with it. Easily a must-have when you come. Awesome service and incredible food make this a go-to Chinese food place!

    This is the type of big back food I crave late at night, and it hits every time. I saw this place on TikTok and had to give it a try. It did not disappoint! The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. The only thing I'd change is getting less sauce next time since it was a little too much for me. Other than that, everything was delicious. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm trying the Spicy Orange Chicken.

    Shrimp Fried Rice - A lot of shrimp at the bottom and inside
    Nate N.

    Mr. You in Montclair always comes through! I usually get the orange chicken fries, but this time I switched it up and ordered a party tray of orange chicken and a tray of shrimp fried rice. Everything was delicious, and it was a hit with the whole group. I'll definitely be back. Theara did a great job helping me out! Thank you!

    I randomly found the Montclair Mr. You Express today and it immediately became my favorite local Chinese takeout spot. Funny enough, I actually saw an Instagram ad for their "famous orange fries" this morning, crinkle fries covered in orange chicken sauce, but that's not even what brought me in. I was doing my usual Costco run, needed lunch ASAP, and a quick Google search showed this place just one block south of Costco. Very glad I stopped by. I ordered Combo B: one side and two entrees for $12.59. I went with chow mein, orange chicken, and mushroom chicken. The portion was ENORMOUS. The picture honestly doesn't even do it justice because I had already taken several bites before taking it . Even after separating everything out, I couldn't believe how much food they packed into that container. The orange chicken had that classic sweet, crispy Chinese takeout flavor I was craving, and the mushroom chicken was loaded with chicken, mushrooms, and veggies. I also grabbed a Dr Pepper Cream Soda for $1.50, bringing the whole thing to just $15.36 after tax. For the amount of food you get, that's an awesome value. Service was super fast, and Theara at the register took care of me. Exactly what I want from a neighborhood Chinese takeout spot: quick service, huge portions, good prices, and that classic Chinese-American takeout taste. Apparently they also have a Claremont location that's actually closer to me, so I'll definitely be checking that one out too. And next time, I HAVE to try those orange fries.

    If you haven't tried the Spicy Orange Chicken Fries yet, drop everything. Shoutout to Mr. You Chinese Food--the official creators of this masterpiece that started right here in Montclair, California! Fresh crinkle-cut fries wok-tossed with crispy chicken in that perfect sweet & spicy glaze, then absolutely loaded with cheese, fresh green onions, and a spicy drizzle. Sweet, spicy, crispy, and 10/10 elite comfort food that is sooo addictive.

    Orange Chicken Fries - Spicy

    The Orange Chicken Fries are worth trying. Definitely shareable. Very saturated in sauce. We got the spicy fries and it was mild for me. Friendly service. Outside tables could use some cleaning but the inside was clean.

    Half noodles and fried rice with spicy orange chicken
    Edward C.

    First time at Mr. You Express. Came here after a fun day at Lucky Art Crayology with the kiddos. Was getting hungry and my wife found Mr. You on yelp. Mr. You puts panda express to shame with their menu variety, hospitality and portion size. Explains why this place was busy when we came in. Patron after patron came in. The staff were all very welcoming, nice and helpful. They made the kids feel welcomed and the food was delicious. My daughters loved their noodles and fried rice. We ordered their entree menu i had their one item plate and my wife got also one item plate. Mine was half fried rice and noodles with my entree being spicy orange chicken which i have not seen at other Chinese fast food. My wife got their two item broccoli beef. The spicy orange chicken was gooooood!! I loved it nice balance of flavors and not too spicy (mild to medium) spicy level. Their broccoli beef was cooked well and flavored nicely with a hint of the peppers that balanced with the veggies. All in all 10/10. The portions are large especially when i saw the bbq pork (char siu) they packed that sucker up it was over capacity of the container. The price is on point with whats out in the industry but the portions also matches it so this place is hands down the best place for chinese food thats authentic and everyone will enjoy. If you live in montclair or are passing by make sure you stop by Mr. You Express for some well made chinese food plus you will be supporting a great small business. P.S. my wife said their door said they have a secret menu IYKYK . Now i have to come back and check their instagram @mryoumontclair to see what this secret menu is all about. Too bad they are not out where i am. Now i will have to come back lol

    Will they make me Almond Fried chicken? It is a NW American/Canadian Chinese classic with fried chicken pieces topped with a gravy and a sprinkle of almonds. I asked a Chinese friend and she said it's called War Su Gai.

    Not sure

Why did I give it a five? - Rarely busy so prompt service, decent overall seating, many options, good portions, and solid prices. Verdict? - What more can you ask for?

    Order: Fried chili chicken, dan dan dry spicy, cauliflower…read moredry pot, & beef & tripe in chili oil. Atmosphere: 10/10 Beautiful inside, the ambiance is going for a modern zen vibe. Very peaceful. Service: Good service. No complaints. Cooking technique: One of the best chongqing style fried chicken I've ever had. Beautifully fried, not greasy. Everything was cooked so well, it's impressive. Price: 10/10 Great prices. Mala/spiciness: 1/10 I really wish this place was spicy. I love sichuan food and I have an extreme spice tolerance so maybe this place is spicy for people who normally eat mild spice but for me, I expect so much more from Sichuan food. I was conflicted writing this review because sincerely the cooking was nearly perfect. It just had no spice to me. If it was spicier, it would easily be in the top 5 of my favorite Sichuan places just based on the cooking technique.
