Not much to say anymore except EXCELLENT! Was visiting Socal from Canada. And made it a point to visit this place for the amazing spicy orange chicken fries. And boy oh boy, it's not just a hype but wow! It's is insanely great! It's a must. Their cha siu & garlic shrimp is amazing too! There was a long line up few minutes after we arrived, then we know that it's worth the visit. Tin (owner) is so involved in the daily operations that he made sure the guests are served well & the fountain drinks are always available. Lia is also very accommodating, constantly checking and sure we got all we need. Place has a cool air conditioning dining and outdoor patio seating. read more

I love this place!!!! Not only is the food delicious and in big quantities for a great price, but their employee Lía is literally so nice and she gives great service. It's not super hot in there even though it's summertime, and I love the theme and design of the restaurant. No but really Lía girl I love you read more

Well worth the wait! Shoutout the worker Yeni for being helpful as it was my first time. Will definitely be back

i came specifically for the famous orange chicken fries, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. the crispy fries topped with juicy orange chicken and that sticky, sweet, slightly spicy glaze are such a unique combo!!! it's easy to see why everyone talks about them. the char siu was another standout. it was perfectly glazed, smoky, juicy, and incredibly tender. the chow mein was flavorful, fresh, and not oily, making it the perfect side to pair with everything. what really surprised me was the portion size you definitely get a lot for your money and can easily have leftovers for the next day. even though the restaurant was packed during peak hours, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and worked incredibly fast to get everyone's orders out. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I came here with my brother and his girlfriend around 5:30 p.m. on a Saturday and I will say this place is packed!!! The line was turning and twisting indoor and even went out the side door exit. You already know before ordering this place is legit and expected to have amazing food. They are the original home/founder of the Spicy Orange Chicken fries. The inspiration was from carne asada fries with a Chinese American food twist to it. They also have a secret menu item called the carry-out noodles, which consist of their chow mein with their spicy house sauce and orange chicken stir fried together. And of course, like any other Chinese American takeout/fast casual location they are known for their 1,2,or 3 item combo with the 3 item being only $13.59. That alone can feed a family of 3-4 people. I had the pleasure to meet the owner and his staff behind scenes and everyone was incredibly hospitable, efficient, and welcoming! There is a sense of closeness and comfort I of course had to order their popular and viral dish (the Spicy Orange Chicken fries) and wanted to take on the carry-out noodles and see what it's all about! Spicy Orange Chicken Fries - 5/5 I couldn't believe how well this worked together. Stir fried in their extremely hot wok along with chili pepper, crinkle fries, orange chicken, topped with shredded cheese, special spicy house sauce, and green onions. Simple yet packed with flavors! The fries were crispy along with the orange chicken that was cooked separately in coated battered. Every bit is packed with flavor and crispiness. I could barely put much in my mouth because each ingredient holds its integrity on its shape. Carry Out Noodles - 5/5 Noodles are bouncy and chewy with a slight kick to it. The orange chicken held its integrity and wasn't soggy. The dish itself did not taste as though it was drenched in sauce, but was nicely coated on top. 3 Item Combo - 5/5 I got the chow mein&fried rice as the base. My three items were bbq pork char siu, beef broccoli, and steam vegetables. The char siu was perfectly cooked with the right amount of chewiness and although they poured the sauce on top, it was not drenched in the sauce. The beef broccoli had tender beef and the broccoli itself was crunchy and fresh. Steamed vegetables was how I remember it to be. The spicy orange chicken fries and carry out noodles are only made to order and not readily available. I just love that because it guarantees its freshness and comes out piping hot! read more

We drove out from Anaheim to check this place out. Especially the viral Orange Chicken fries. This Montclair location is the original genius behind the Orange Chicken Fries!!! The place isn't big so people are always coming and going. At one point the line was spiraling inside the tiny restaurant and it was getting pretty hot in there. And the crowds kept coming. Good thing the line moves really fast. The food is shoveled into everyone's plates which they could barely close. The crinkle cut fries were the perfect choice for the orange chicken. The textures of the fries and the chicken were like heaven with every bite. Don't let these sit out too long. We also ordered Chow Fun with beef and it was also delicious! They are creating new concoctions so keep an eye out! read more

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 read more

I've been seeing the orange chicken fries all over my feed, so we finally made the trip and wow... the hype is actually deserved. We ordered the carry out noodles with orange chicken and chow mein, and the portions were HUGE. Definitely the kind of meal that leaves you with leftovers for later. The orange chicken was crispy, saucy, and had that perfect sweet-and-tangy flavor without being overly heavy. The chow mein was flavorful and paired so well with it. You can tell why this spot has such a loyal following. And of course, we had to try the famous orange chicken fries. It's wild knowing this Montclair location is considered the original home of the viral orange chicken fries. Crispy fries loaded with orange chicken just sounds wrong until you try it... then it somehow makes perfect sense. If you're craving classic Chinese fast food with generous portions and want to see what started the orange chicken fries craze, this spot is worth checking out. The service is great, everyone is super nice! And love the ambiance, it makes me feel nostalgic being in there. read more

Came for the viral orange chicken fries. It's listed as a secret menu item, so don't hesitate to order when you don't see it on the written menu. You can order it spicy or regular. There's plenty of parking at this location. The establishment itself was busy with a line. Ordering was fast and easy with staff. There's seating inside and outside of the store. One order of orange chicken fries is enough to share for two people. Portion is about the size of half a plastic bag! The takeout box lid doesn't even close. The fries were dense and bland. The orange chicken itself is airy. I had expectations of it being crispier or tangier. The sauce, cheese, and green onion combo makes the whole entire dish. The fries and chicken end up as the way to get the sauce mix into your mouth. Overall a delicious sauce combo that is worth the hype! read more

I recommend everyone try the spicy wings and spicy orange chicken or if you're feeling exceptionally hungry go for the orange/spicy orange chicken fries read more

Mr. You's is quintessential fast Chinese cuisine at its finest. No frills just good ol fashioned oversized scoops and serving of some classics. Tender broccoli beef sauced up real nice. And when the orange chicken is fresh you get an insane crunch to them with that sweet (and optionally spicy version) citrussy bite. The star of the show was the viral orange chicken fries ( check my IG/tiktok @mattchu_eatchu for the review) Service is simple and straightforward. Pick a 1-3 combo playe or ask for the orange chicken fries. The fries take 10-15 mins depending on how busy they are so give em a break! Ambiance is filled with seating inside and outside along with all kinda of Mr. You's decor! read more

Mr. You Express This place is the business. I've been coming to Mr. You for years, way before the internet hypebeasts catapulted them into the zeitgeist. There's always a decent line, but it moves fast and is unequivocally worth the wait. Fresh food is always worthwhile to me, and Mr. You consistently delivers. We get their chow mein, which is old school Chinese restaurant delicious and completely timeless. Hands down the most transcendent rendition I've ever encountered. They don't skimp on the noodles like other spots. Other places egregiously pad it out with cabbage, but Mr. You has the proportions so impeccably dialed in that it makes my tastebuds breakdance, but not like that Australian lady. Usually we go with the chow mein, orange tofu, kung pao tofu, white rice, wontons, and egg rolls. Every dish is high quality, meticulously prepared, and audaciously piled into the takeout containers. They cram a buffet's worth of food into each order to guarantee you get your money's worth, and that kind of culinary generosity speaks volumes about their ethos. That's the kind of joint that makes you want to show up every week and bring everybody you know. Five stars. My only complaint is that I don't live closer. Te lo recomiendo.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

We were near this place and stone to kill so we de used to try this place. The selections of entrees are huge. Can order different entrees if it's not on the showcase. All the combination varieties are on the billboard. Choose from one to two to three entrees with rice and chowmein noodles. The portions are hugeeeeeee! We shared a combo B with two entrees. Added the shrimp for an additional $1. The orange chicken came with spicy or non spicy. The place is small only few tables inside and few outdoor seating tables. Food was good, the spicy orange chicken was so so. It doesn't have the same flavor as Panda Express but it was good. The salt and pepper shrimps were really good. The shrimp was quite big! Couldn't even finish it. They also have really good smoothies and boba tea with different flavors. Need to go back and try their famous orange chicken fries. Part of the local business ow et so go there and support them. read more
