My friends were eating pho downstairs at the casino, so we went to join them. They said it's pretty good. I wanted to eat sushi but they stopped making sushi at 10pm. They had us sitting near my friends. Service was fast and friendly. They gave us hot towels before the food. Complimentary shrimp chips. Restaurant had a huge lucky cat in the front and nicely decorated throughout. read more

RuYi - Chinese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

"Joined the waitlist at 5:40 PM on a Saturday and was quoted a 30-minute wait. I got the confirmation text saying I'd be notified when a table opened. At 6:26 PM, 46 minutes later, I still had not received any text or update. When my husband and I walked by, the host stand was actively seating guests who had just arrived. If those were reservations, fine, but nobody communicated anything to us, and the quoted time came and went with zero follow up. A waitlist system only works if someone actually uses it. A quick 'we're running behind' text would have made all the difference. Disappointing, because we were looking forward to trying RuYi." read more

Food and the service was great No wonder the restaurant has hardly any patrons is when I looked at my receipt I noticed a service fee of 15% added to my bill then you need to add on the tip for the wait staff. Guess I'll be ordering take out like everyone else read more

So loud. Was very hard to talk to my partner sitting across the table from me because neither of us could hear each other well. Maybe a different area within the restaurant might be better? Perhaps it was that we were tucked away towards the left corner and noise just carried into the area - no idea. But for me it was less enjoyable as I didn't feel relaxed or able to talk to my partner. Mango sakenori cocktail is okay. Really it tastes good, very mango-y but I'm not feeling like it's worth $12. I guess if returning I probably wouldn't go with a cocktail again. Maybe try their sake or just have water or a light beer like Sapporo. Our Edamame was extremely salty. Veggie sushi roll, good, but fell apart while eating it so not a very tight roll. I think I'd prefer to eat rolls at the nearby sushi spots I've tried in the past before ever getting them here again. I do understand that sushi is not their primary focus here so maybe I should have known I wouldn't be impressed. Seafood Lover was a good amount of food and could be shared. I wasn't into the sauce much but did enjoy the veggies, scallops, and shrimp in it. My partner had the Duck Curry and I thought that was very good!!!! He also said in the past he has eaten the Singapore Noodles and really loved them! Overall I was excited to try this place but found it a bit disappointing. Maybe I'd come back for some appetizers, soup or salad but that would be it. The host and our server were very nice though and accommodating. read more

The staff was super friendly and checked on us often while also letting us enjoy our visit. The food was delicous. I ordered the duck curry and it was to die for. I did find a small chunk of bone in the duck meat that threw me off, that being said props to the chef for having knives sharp enough to cut through bone without noticing. Will be back next time I stay at the hotel and gamble @ the casino. They also had fun art on the walls! read more

We were super impressed by this place. I think we had low expectations for a casino restaurant but everything was great. I loved the panko shrimp appetizer & the little chips they serve. Super unique. I ordered the Korean Wok Ramen which was good - I think I prefer ramen as we know it but the flavor was still great. The best thing we got was the surf & turf fried rice. Steak and lobster was perfect and the omelette was to die for. The service was great, our waitress has worked there for years and was very knowledgeable. Lost all my money on the slots afterwards, though! read more

Let me first say that the food here is amazing . I come here at least twice per month and I don't even gamble! I literally come to the casino for this restaurant. However, the service was extremely poor on this visit. Let's start by saying that I've never had bad service here until today. We sat at the bar that was clean and not too busy, there was a shift change but the host at the podium told us this in advance. Once we took our seats we were greeted with a food menu and was told we would be seen In a minute. No drink menu. I asked a member of the staff who wasn't our server for a drink menu. She gave it to us and asked for our drinks right away . We waited to place our drinks with our server . When our server finally came we placed our drinks and I asked for veggie chips and sauce along with our drinks. He only came back with our drinks and took our food order . Our food came fast , but we didn't get our chips . The entire time we were eating our server never came back and asked if everything was ok . We didn't receive any warm towels , offer to get extra drinks or an empty plate for my lobster shells . Then to add an extra layer of bad service, the lady who was next to us was giving the staff a hard time about her fire card point and trying to use someone's Points who wasn't even there . They paid more attention to the customer who Was trying her hardest to not pay for a full bill and being very rude than the customers who were paying in full who were pleasant and only asked for good service. I asked for the check cause atp I was over the service and was ready to leave. Zack was more concerned about everything else than cashing us out . I asked a completely different server to finish assisting us cause he was clearly too busy to take care of us . Alexis took care of us , and she did great . I was very greatful that she stepped in I gave her a 28% tip for her service. She was nice and was working hard with the customers she already had . For her to stop And assist us was a save ! This is a prime example of how good service goes a long way . As a consumer I will always base the tip I give based on service and not the size of my bill or who my server is . read more

The restaurant has a nice ambience and an option for table dining or counter dining if you like to watch the chefs cook. I was in a party of four so we decided for a table. The decor is nice and the host and servers are very nice. Service was for the most part on par. Now, the food. I appreciate the attempt, but I wouldn't consider the dish I ordered, Kung Pao Shrimp, to resemble anything of a traditional Kung Pao sauce. The sauce was more like a szechuan brown sauce. There was plenty of vegetables in the Kung Pao dish and they did give a good portion of shrimp as well. Overall - the dish was just OK at best. While it was some kind of a Chinese dish, if you're craving Kung Pao, it's not going to be the Kung Pao you think it is. read more

Food was delicious, We both had the beef lo mein, portions were plentiful. The server was very polite and on point. I would definitely recommend this place at Potowatomi if your looking for a little break from all the bells and whistles of the casino read more

I honestly hate to change a rating this dramatically. I have tried a couple of times before writing this update and this is not the same place when it reopened. The menu shrunk like many places which is not bad - limited menus make typically for better service and cost conservation for the restaurant. I was not really hungry so I got what used to be one of the best egg drop soups in the area along with the potstickers. After I placed the order I realized they never asked me if I wanted the potstickers steamed or pan-fried. I quickly got the order changed to pan-fried. I watched after the kitchen filled all of the to-go orders way before they took care of the people dining in. I waited over 40 minutes for the food which honestly wasn't good. The egg drop soup consistency was way off. It was almost chunky with egg and lacked flavor. I didn't finish the soup and nobody even asked me if there was an issue. The potstickers were fried but they lacked flavor just like the soup. The dipping sauce was needed to make them taste okay. The to-go menu is VERY limited and if you want to order from the regular menu and take out they upcharge 15%. The new to-go application is way too limited but on the plus side they will get you your food way before people dining in at the restaurant. This was one of the best restaurants for Chinese in the city but it is no longer. Hopefully they take the feedback and get back to the amazing restaurant it was a couple of years ago. read more

Looking for a unique pan-Asian eatery experience? Look no further than Potowatami Casino. Yes, the casino. Please note: I've been to this restaurant a few times and it is very inconsistent in terms of food and service. Food: Looks amazing, but can be bland. Great portion sizes. Drinks include bubble tea, sake, speciality cocktails, wine, beer, and canned cocktails. Service: Needs improvement. Certainly a 'hit or miss' on the service, but I'd say mostly a miss. On my last visit, I sat at the bar and still received poor service. The two women on my right were upset that they waited 30 minutes without realizing it for a box and a gentleman to the left ordered an appetizer and drink. He received the drink and waited 25 mins for potstickers, but requested the manager and asked to pay for the drink so he could leave due to the wait time. It was ironic to have poor service when all the staff were in the bar area, though they were huddled there to sort out food that had been sitting a while as they confused which entrees go to which tables. Value: Great value for portion size. Can use player rewards/comp. Cleanliness/Restaurant itself: Small restaurant, but often busy. Kept fairly clean. Easy to locate. Location: Located on the lower level of Potowatomi Bingo Casino. 1721 W Canal St, Milwaukee, WI 53233 P: (414) 847-7335 read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. The pot stickers are beyond delicious and the hot & sour soup is tasty. The kung pao chicken was also delightful -- fresh veggies and not laden with the heavy goopy sauce you get at so many restaurants. My husband is obsessed with their Thai wings. The service was attentive and the ambiance and hubbub enjoyably exciting read more

Nice modern Japanese restaurant inside Potawatomi. The place is decently clean, the tables weren't straight and you can tell someone just got up with some food crumbs on the floor or seat. The food and pricing is fair compared to any other Asian restaurants around the area. Felt like the half duck was a little over priced otherwise no complaints about the food and taste. Nice size portions for sharing. The only complaint I'd have is the food wait time, longer than normal and had to ask for water. read more

I've never eaten at a restaurant inside a Casino before but RuYi surely did not disappoint for my first time! Depending on how busy the casino is, there is usually a line with a wait time but we did not have to wait long since it was a Tuesday evening. The ambiance of the restaurant is modern yet traditional and our waitress was very kind and attentive. I ordered the cashew stir fry which is a perfect option for vegetarians. It was extremely flavorful and hearty. My grandma ordered the sweet and sour chicken which was delicious. My mother ordered the kung pow chicken which was also great but on the spicier side. Our food came out fast and there are many options on the menu. I have had the shrimp fried rice before and definitely recommend that to anyone who is picky or not sure of what to order. I haven't been to any of the other restaurants in Potawatomi but i would highly recommend this one to anyone coming here to play! I would eat here again and definitely also recommend the locally sourced beer they have on the menu. read more

Prices went up on the sushi by at least $10 bucks on each item. The fire keeper roll for example was 13 and is now $23. I am only eating here because it's the only thing open at Poto. Sushi is empty. The prices are too high. read more

Have been here a number of times and always have a pretty good experience. Ruyi is a beautiful space inside Potawatomi, and the staff work hard to accommodate the constant flow of patrons. The food here is delicious, with the Chicken Fried Rice being large enough for two people to share. Their take on Egg Drop soup with fried wonton on top is interesting, and while the soup is good, I personally find the wonton unnecessary and distracting. There are a few good restaurants inside Potawatomi, and Ruyi is definitely a great addition worth checking out. read more

Good food. Service is good. Kinda small space. The price isn't bad for a casino either.

I was initially reluctant based on some reviews, but after 4 visits I am becoming a regular! Service has been exceptional, in particular at the bar. Quality of the chicken has improved, beef for me is tough and I stay away. You can bring drinks from the casino in which I appreciate. I fell like they are trending up in food quality and we have enjoyed our past few visits after a disappointing first trip. read more

The quality of food is there! Love how hot and fresh my meal was. They were definitely busy but servers were very attentive! Make sure you ask before you order if their credit card machine is working because I think when they are busy it doesn't work because that is what happened to me the night I was there. Not much else to really say because their food is ALWAYS good! Side Note- They're actually open later than what's stated on google, Yelp and other internet sites! read more

This is a fairly frequent stop for me while I'm in Milwaukee. Located in the lower level of Potowatomi Casino. For dining options.... in terms of quality vs price this will be one of the better options you can find Most recent visit I had a rib appetizer and Lo Mein Seafood Note- I have done a supplemental video tied to this Yelp review on YouTube Channel: Mad Respect TV Pros: + Food portions have never disappointed for an average appetite like mine,. Prices have good value despite being inside a casino + Food quality is one of the better options in the casino. Seafood soup WAS absolutely amazing. Pity they removed it. + Restaurant is very well kept. Fairly easy to find and access. Compatible with players rewards Cons: - Ruyi post COVID removed my most favorite item from the menu!! This kills. The Seafood soup is what made me want to come here. At time of review Sushi was not on the menu either. - This place is prone to getting packed. Service is a tad on the slower side. Bottom line: The menu changes are a hard pill to swallow. If my favorite menu items were to return, I'd almost go 4.5 stars.As things stand its kind of at a 3.5, but I don't feel like holding that against Ruyi too much. We'll leave it at 4 stars and keep checking the menu as able. read more

Shouldn't even be getting a star... only eating here because we are hungry but with this long wait I was better off driving out the casino and ordering from McDonald's.... Or a real fast food restaurant 45 minute to 1 hour to get seated 45minutes to 1 hour in order to get your plate after you put your order in....: Probably one of the worst places to visit if you are traveling. Do not waste your time or money on a place who doesn't put customer service first. Having a chef able to put dishes out in a timely manner is customer service. Please get better. The crowd here all looked disappointed as well. With the wait here you're better off running out the casino to eat and coming back. So upset. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the city. Love the late-night hours. Stopped in on Monday night for some late night food. Was pretty busy for a weekday night. Decided on taking food home instead. Basil grapefruit margarita that I ordered while waiting for my takeout was amazing. Also plenty of sake options and other drinks that are super delicious and well-thought-out. Love the crab rangoon here and also the sweet and sour soup. Cantonese Trio is dynamite and I love the beef and broccoli dish. Pho here is not good. I wouldn't recommend ordering it unless you plan on being extremely disappointed. Kitchen and dining area always look extremely clean here. Staff is always very professional and friendly. Food is always fresh, warm, and delicious. Have yet to try sushi down here but definitely am going to in the future. read more

I had no expectations coming into RuYi. It was past 11 pm and the only "Asian" restaurant I could find was the one in the Casino, hahaha. They have a vast variety of Pan-Asian Cuisine. There is probably something for everyone-type of restaurant. We were very, very hungry and craving noodles and rice. Milwaukee for a week and we started missing home. Everything we ordered was pretty good. I enjoyed all the flavors of the dishes except for the eggplant; it was too sweet for my taste but maybe after eating so many dishes, it was too much for my palette. My favorite of all the dishes we had ordered were the Thai spicy wings and bbq pork fried rice. The wings were very crispy, not too salty, and extremely juicy (like, really juicy and not that juicy because it's oily) a great experience and we won a bit of money at the casino as well! Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Place has changed quite a bit as far as food quality since pandemic. Sushi is not what it used to be. Very limited selection.

RuYi never disappoints. The quality of the food is always excellent. Portion sizes will please everyone. They have expanded RuYi's into two locations within the casino. The old Buffet area has been converted to a RuYi and Fire Pit combo to-go service or pick-up and dine-in this large area. While the long lines were worth the wait, you no longer have to stand around in the lobby. Simply order At the front register and then go in and grab a seat, and get a free soda, visit with your friends or family, and it will bring it to your table. Check out these photos. Smart thinking Potawatomi Casino. read more

We've ordered Pad Thai, General Tso's battered chicken, pork bun (worst I've ever had), crab Rangoon, egg drop soup (worst I've ever had), and chicken fried rice. They are all not good per my taste. Ambiance is ok. Service is meh since I've been given a wrong meat. Not coming back. read more

My parents and I recently had an early dinner/late lunch here. Note - this restaurant in in the casino, so you do have to walk through some lively action and some smoking areas to get here. However, a lot of the casino noise is muted once you get inside. I tried the fried noodle dish with vegetables and tofu. It was very good and I finished it off I also had a specialty drink - an old-fashioned made with Japanese whiskey that I enjoyed very much. My mom's noodle dish was also excellent, as was her drink. My dad had spicy noodles with beef and his was really good with a nic spice level. It paired well with a beer. Service was friendly and efficient. This is a solid choice with some variety for everyone. read more

I like the space here; it is a respite/an oasis away from the casino action.... without leaving the casino floor. First time here today, for lunch. I sat at the bar/counter, facing the open kitchen. I noticed they have a small (full) bar set up here and two TV's. Might be a cool place just to get off the casino floor for a break and a cocktail. I ordered (chicken) Pad Tai, spicy, "please." On arrival, I immediately noticed that two of the main ingredients were completely missing from the plate; i.e., bean sprouts and green onions. I said something and they took it away, poste haste. On the next try, I actually saw a couple of shards of green onion and a bit of bean sprout. I was disappointed. Having said that, I did enjoy the dish and ate most of it, though there was little or no "spicy" in the plate, whatsoever. I asked for some chili paste; a common condiment at any Chinese restaurant. I was informed they actually don't have Chinese chili paste, but offered me a small plastic "cup-let" of Siracha sauce, which I accepted. I'll be back to try something else. Might even come back here just to chill out between video poker and craps come-outs. read more

I come to the casino just for this restaurant. I've never been disappointed leaving this place. I had the fried spring rolls and potstickers for an appetizer. Both extremely good and fresh. Came out hot with great sauces on the side. For the entrees, we had chicken broccoli and General Tso. The General Tso always has more flavor but I can never get away from the chicken broccoli. This is by far the classy version of a Chinese restaurant. Never disappointed leaving here read more

Really disappointed with my experience here. The food is barely better than what you would find on the Buffet. My wife ordered the Korean spicy noodles. The noodles were mushy and way overcooked. DON'T order the Bulgogi! It was not Bulgogi in any sense of the word other than it was meat. The marinade was atrocious and nothing but soy sauce. As a person of Korean descent I'm actually OFFENDED that they would try to pass that off as Bulgogi. They offered to replace with something else but the manager came over and made it clear she thought I was trying to be difficult and even though the fried rice they were replacing my order with was cheaper they would charge me the price of the original order which was much more expensive. The waiter said he had brought the manager to make things better and I informed him she actually hurt him with her self righteous attitude. Oh and NOW while I'm still here they are trying to charge me for BOTH plates even though they took the first away. Absolutely ridiculous! So I told them to take the rice away and apparently I'm paying for a meal I didn't even eat. What a JOKE. Didn't know Potowatami was so broke they had to try screwing over customers. *** Edit, the table next to us who had a problem with their dish had their order replaced at no additional charge and no need for a manager to come over, we had to have a hospitality manager come over and after finally took the Bulgogi and the fried rice off. read more

Second time at this restaurant. I was a little more impressed the first time. The place is in potawatomie casino. They have a nice menu of sushi and Asian dishes. Our service was moderate. I wouldn't say he was real friendly but he certainly wasn't rude. He more just processed us and moved on. I got the sweet and sour chicken and crab Rangoons. The crab Rangoons were very good and my sweet and sour chicken was ok. Friends of ours got the cashew chicken and it didn't look good. They did not enjoy it at all. My husband got the Korean chicken and he liked it. All in all the dining experience was ok. I am not sure I would rush back but would not refuse to go back. read more

The food here is a little pricey but it is inside a casino after all and when you're hungry you just have to eat! I had the teriyaki chicken with rice and it was delicious!

Would recommend if you're at the casino but otherwise I'll go somewhere cheaper. read more

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of our dinner at RuYi. I really wasn't expecting much from a restaurant located inside the casino but RuYi is "Three-Star A-OK." We started our meal with a fresh spring roll and a sushi tasting flight. The tasty spring roll was plump and filled with all the traditional ingredients. The "out of the jar" dipping sauces were adequate. Technically speaking, the "sushi tasting flight" was not sushi because it was not the traditional formation of seasoned rice and raw fish. And it wasn't really sashimi either because the seafoods (scallops, tuna, salmon and yellow tail) were diced instead of sliced, I.e., more like a tartare or ceviche than a traditional sashimi. But the seafood was fresh and nicely seasoned. For our entrees we ordered Korean wok noodles with shrimp and Chow Fun with vegetables. The portions were ample. You could taste the char on the grilled veggies. The plethora of shrimp justified the $2 up charge for shrimp or seafood. Everything was properly seasoned. All in all our dining experience was fine. But that said, I would not make a special trip to eat here. If you happen to be staying at the hotel (like we were) or are visiting the casino for an evening of gaming RuYi would be a fine choice for dinner. Otherwise I'd look elsewhere to avoid the persistent background din of the slot machines and the whiff of smoky air from the adjacent gaming rooms. read more
