We have eaten here almost once a month for the past 5 years and have been coming to this restaurant since they opened. This past visit was the most disappointing we had order the General Tso chicken one of favorite dishes,since they took the Korean spicy noodle soup off the menu. It was the worst meal we had there the dish for one was not the meal we order and the chicken and sauce was way to spicy to even eat one piece of chicken. We mentioned it to our waitress as the Couple next to us order the same dish and his was exactly what we where expecting (thank goodness since it was his first time there and we recommended it) you could tell by looking at the Two dishes that one was correct and the other was not what the same even through we both order the he same dish. We explained to our waitress she apologized but never tried to make the meal correct. It is making is question if we will go back. Since most the of the dishes we have order are now off the menu. The Korean spicy noodles is not the same as the Korean spicy noodle soup and the heat of the dish most determine who cooks the meal, There is no consistency to the dishes. The last couple times this year I have never been so disappointed in the service and the meals that have been served. I really wish and hope they can go back to what they where. read more

Just ate dinner at RuYi and the food was ok, but the service was horrible. It took probably 10 minutes for our waitress even notice she had a table and after taking the order we had to flag her down for refills on our drinks and our bill. I can see the service being slower when a restaurant is crowded, but this was not the case here. I honestly think my meal was brought to the table next to us, since the lady said I didn't order that. My food was at ok at best. We should have gone with our first choice Emperor of China. read more

Fresh fish has a distinct flavor. I'm seriously concerned I just ate $55 of gas station equivalent sushi. Something that's been I unthawed and refrigerated for a very long time. The last roll of the three was sketchy, it just tasted so mildly bland, not like fish. I'll come back and re-rate it a one star if I end up barfing tonight. Probably might have great Chinese food or something else, but they don't have great Sushi. read more

The best sushi I've had in Milwaukee. Perfect rice. Fresh. You've got to stop at the casino to eat here, so that's less appealing, but otherwise, this place is as good as it gets. read more

One of my favorite places to eat! We had a party of 6 for dinner on Saturday. We stared with a few appetizers. Our server was excellent with making recommendations. We all had different entrees and shared with each other. My favorite was the volcano chicken! None of us had room for dessert. Portion sizes were large, food was cooked perfectly and flavorful, pricing is lower than expected, service is top notch. Make sure you add this to your places to try if you are at the casino! read more

Let me start out by saying that I am not a huge fan of Potawatomi as a casino. With that being said, I do have to give them credit for having some very good dining establishments. Ru Yi is an amazing Asian restaurant that features Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai food. The service is very good, and so is the food. My absolute favorite meal here is the shrimp fried rice. Not only do you get a decent amount of shrimp in there, but they are very generous with the portion that they give you. I have also tried the General Tso's Chicken. It had a little kick to it, but is very good. I definitely recommend the Crab Rangoon as an appetizer. If you are a fan of sake, Ru Yi has a nice selection of sake for you to choose from. You have the choice of having your sake warm or cold (I personally like my sake warm). There are also other drink options available. On a side note, I appreciate the fact that the restaurant is smoke free. With as smoky as the casino is, it's nice to have a smoke free place to go to there. read more

Ok usually screw up my order...but when they get it right pretty good...could be better

RIP Tochi- you've been replaced. If you can handle the smoking in the casino- RuYi is a must try. Excellent variety of noodle dishes, including ramen. Over the top steamed buns. Light, puffy, spongy with a savory light filling. If you can't handle the smoke, pop in for a quick drink and order to go. read more

Orange Chicken was spicy and tasted NOTHING like any other orange chicken I have ever had at any other Chinese restaurant. Awful

Stopped in here since I was craving Chinese. I ordered the crab Rangoon, egg drop soup and shrimp fried rice. And had the banana stuffed wonton for dessert. The crab rangoons were to die for, only complaint they skimped out on the crab meat. The egg drop soup was decent but I wish they didn't add too much fried wontons , I've had better but this was pretty decent. The fried rice was really good, again they seemed to skimp out on the shrimp. Now the star attraction was dessert, the fried banana and cinnamon wontons were to die for!! Definetly a solid place , the service was really good. read more

If you're looking for watered down wine and average service, then by all means, check it out! I ordered a glass of the house Cabernet. They went to the back and poured it for me. I would have to say that it seemed as though the wine was combined with water. I have never tasted a wine like this before and was highly disappointed. Stick with a beer from the bottle if you order a drink. We also ordered the specialty drink, which was served to us in styrofoam/plastic glasses. I've never been served a drink in a glass like that at any restaurant. So that was strange. However, the drink was tasty. We added a bottle of cold Sake. This came to us at room temperature, so we had to ask for ice. RuYi has been advertising their sushi lately but what they don't tell you when you go in is that you can only order it on one side of the restaurant...as if there is this invisible line drawn that the sushi can't pass. We ordered the Crab Rangoon, which was your standard crab rangoon. Nothing special about it. We also got the Tempura Vegetables which were decent. The next appetizer we ordered were the Spring Rolls, which I thought were great. Crispy on the outside and not overly greasy tasting. For our main dishes we got the Singapore Noodles, which were all right, nothing special. We also got the Fried Rice, which was great. The Bulgogi was a decent dish as well, except the portion size was small. Overall the experience and drinks were terrible at RuYi. I don't think I'll go back and wouldn't recommend this place to friends. read more

This place has the best sushi in town. Always fresh and the sushi chefs are always friendly. Plus...thank them for the great sushi and you may get a sampler roll. read more

Decent. We were at Potawatomi Casino for a concert over the weekend and wanted to eat before the show. Options are limited at this place, and we weren't sure about RuYi's multi-pan-Aisian menu. But we took a chance and were very satisfied. Beer - he had the big Sapporo and I had a Singha, both good. Started with pot stickers; they were yummy and 5 was just the right amount to share. Big ones and they arrived nice & hot. Entrees - he went with the safe Kung Pao Chicken and I had the pork & shrimp Singapore noodles. Both dishes very good, but a LOT of food (especially the noodles) since I also... At the last minute opted for a side of spicy eggplant (fried with a spicy sesame sauce) that turned out to be the best think I ate. I wish I had ordered that with some white rice as my entree, really delicious. Will probably eat there again next time we see a show at Northern Lights Theatre. read more

I love to use my monthly food voucher from the casino for carry-out from RuYi. The food is always fresh and is usually enough for 2 meals. Some of the tasty meals I would highly suggest are as follows: 1) Fresh Spring Rolls, shrimp, romaine lettuce, carrot, rice noodles, mint, basil and cilantro with sweet chili and plum sauce 2) Tom Yum, vermicelli rice noodles, cucumber, onion, cilantro, basil and bell pepper with beef or shrimp 3) Pad Thai, rice stick noodles, tofu, bean sprouts, bell pepper, onion, egg and peanuts with chicken, beef, tofu or vegetables, shrimp or seafood 4) Orange Beef or Chicken, spicy orange sauce with sesame seeds and crispy chicken or beef read more

I love the fresh sushi bar added! Nicely updated decor and menu. I had lettuce wraps, spicy crab and a mango margarita, all very delicious. The staff was extremely helpful and attentive. read more

RuYi - Chinese Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Delicious food and good service. We had the General Tso's chicken and appetizers, standard fare. The cocktails were amazing. We were seated a bit away from the door, which was nice to escape the smoke and sounds of slot machines. If they had another restaurant outside the casino, I'd be sure to visit. read more

It was my first time here. The service was horrible, I would understand if it was full/busy but there was a lot of servers around and the dinning area was less than half full and their service was still horrible! My brother and I order drinks, appetizers, and a meal each. We got our appetizers (cold) then had to remind our server about our drinks. Food came out cold. I ordered pho, it came out with an Asian soup spoon, and when I asked for a regular spoon because I don't like the Asian soup spoons, the waitress asked "how regular would you like your spoon.... it wasn't a pleasant experience at all read more

Went there for my birthday dinner and we had the LOVE PLATE, nine pieces of chef's choice nigiri, nine pieces sashimi and dragon roll. For dessert we had the CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE. Best food as far as sushi I have eaten. The cake was very good. The staff is very helpful explaining the different types of sushi and rolls and customer service is excellent. This should be a 5 star sushi Restaurant. read more

The Korean BBQ beef dish the beef is very tough and fatty. Nothing authentic. Would not recommend!

The ambiance was nice the service and food was served expeditiously. My waiter was attentive and kept my glass filled. The Rangoon was delicious and I ate all (8). Nice combination of crunchy and soft. I also ordered veggie fried rice that came out vibrant and colorful. I liked that the veggies were chopped fine and not these huge pieces of vegetables that's in most fried rice. I will definitely be back for Pho and dessert. read more

This review is limited to only Peking duck. We ordered a whole peking duck. It was ready in about 20 mins; I assume they reheated but it was not warm. Obviously, it would take longer than 20 mins to make peking duck. I called them ahead of time - to see if they would get the peking duck going - assuming that they need an hour or more. Interestingly, they said they don't take phone orders, even though I offered to give my credit card number. The lady says "How do we know it is your credit card"? This kind of policy is new to me and seemed rather unusual. Anyway, the duck: It was ok. Not bad and not great. If the duck was cooked and stored overnight or longer, the meat would have had a bad taste. The meat itself was not tasting bad. It was acceptable.. Hence 3 stars. Peking duck is served with thinly julienned green onions and carrots. There was no such accompaniment. They brought rice over. We requested the tortilla (not sure what the chinese version is called) and that took about 10 mins to arrive. Over all, it was a 3 star experience. It is quite possible that some of their other dishes are superior. In the past, I had once tried to go to Ruyi and immediately walked out - because of the strong smoke. Today, it was bad but not bad enough to make me leave. read more

This place has gone from excellent service to horrible service. We had to wait 30 min to get miso soup which the server said would be served according to the ticket. That's a strict no no read more

Went last night. Completely unimpressive. My volcano chicken was bland with chewy chicken and my wife's sweet and sour chicken looked like it was out of a 5 gallon bucket. Don't waste your time. read more

I love this place.. I get the same meal EVERY time..LOL Pad Thai TOfu add broccoli w/ peanuts on the side and a side of curry powder.. This is by far the best Pad Thai I have had thus far and I have travelled worldwide... LoVE IT! :-) read more

Stopped by the casino last weekend to check out their dining venues. After seeing what was served at "The Buffet", we decided to try Ru Yi which proved to be a good decision. Shared the RuYi Platter that included fresh spring rolls, crispy fried spring rolls, pot stickers, edamame and crab rangoon. Ginger garlic soy sauce, sweet plum sauce, sweet chili sauce and a couple of other sauces accompanied that platter. Everything was fresh and delicious. Portion size was huge! It was fun to try a little bit of this and that; I would definitely order the platter again. Next up? Moo Shu Pork. Wok-seared pork loin, shredded cabbage, carrot, bamboo shoots, black mushroom, green onion and eggs with pancakes. Seriously gigantic platter of delicious meat and veggies accompanied by 4 delicate pancakes. We each had one, then packed up leftovers which were terrific the next day for lunch. Server was very nice and the restaurant was pretty-much smoke-free, something we appreciated. If you're looking for a tasty meal or snack at the casino, I would definitely check out Ru Yi! read more

This is literally the only place to eat at inside potawatomi. I've ate at all the other options but nothing like here. The staff is truly amazing, if you go there you will appreciate how great they really are. read more

Delicious sushi! Generous portions for the rolls, and right up there among the best sushi rolls I have had locally. My husband and I ordered 3 maki rolls and the basil spring rolls-that was plenty to satisfy us. Would definitely recommend and will go back! Great service as well. read more

I've been here before a few years ago after winning in bingo and treated my family to dinner....I didn't treat this time since none of us won ;( Bubble teas were ok but not worth $5. Roast duck noodle soup was good but the noodles could be better. The spicy chicken wings were good but could be a lil spicier. The chicken fried rice was spot on. Service is good...specials looked good but cost more then the regular menu read more

Singapore Noodles were fantastic. Nice and spicy with great flavor. I love to see a restaurant like this in a casino.

The service was excellent and the food was good. Had an awesome grapefruit margarita.The place was packed but out waiter was right on top of things and friendly. It was also very clean for it being so busy. Would difently be back. Price was a bit on the high side but well worth it. read more

fishy smelling Sushi -- YUCK not sure about the rest of the menu but stay clear of the sushi read more

One only since that is the lowest possible. Food was terrible, not real asian and even then not cooked properly. Noodles were mushy!! Manager was extremely rude!! Charging us for inedible food! And their policy here by the way is to make it their way and if it is bad or wrong too bad for you. Manager even said to us they have had too many complaints that is why they don't do anything to fix complaints anymore. How freaking scary is that shit! read more

Came here after reading many of the positive reviews. Ordered the fried spring rolls, the egg drop soup, and the Singapore noodles with chicken. Of all these items, only the egg drop soup was good. The spring rolls were dripping with oil and tasted like they'd soaked in oil all day. The insides were almost mush. The Singapore noodles were just nasty. The flavor was entirely one note -- cheap yellow curry -- and the chicken was dry and almost rubbery. It had only a small scattering of vegetables in it and was topped by a partially cooked omelet of egg that was nearly burnt outside and cold and runny inside. I told my server that it was nasty and he apologized but did nothing to correct it or adjust my bill. It was so inedible that, despite my misgivings about spending more money here, I sent the noodles back and ordered the cashew chicken to replace them. The server told me he has never had a complaint about the cashew chicken. Which frankly I find hard to believe -- the sauce tasted predominantly of bok choy. Anyway, long story short, the food here was nicely plated but what I would consider to be slightly below average In quality, and well below average for what I paid. I wouldn't come back here... I would rather eat in the food court on level 3 than eat here again. It just was not great, by any standards. read more

RuYi is inside the Potawatomi Casino, which is a little weird if you're just looking to come to the restaurant, but the food is worth it. We got the Friday night fish fry, which is tempura walleye. It comes with rice and stir fried veggies, which is a nice alternative to the usual fries. The fish was awesome. Maybe the best fish fry I've had in Milwaukee so far. The service was good. Walking through the smoky casino to get to the restaurant was about the only minus. read more

The only thing I really enjoyed at the casino was eating at this restaurant and the Menomonee Valley Food Court( bingo). At RuYi I had crab ragoons and beef lo mein, DELICIOUS!!!! My server was very friendly and professional. read more

Came in for dinner around 5:30pm on a Thursday and had a great experience! Sat at the bar and service was very attentive. Received food right away. Ordered kung pao with chicken, great portion and great quality of food. Would definitely come back for just dinner! read more

This place often has bad customer service from the greeters to the manager. Food is most often good. However for the price, they need to upgrade their customer service skills. Also cooks need to be consistent, the dish should be the same every time it's ordered. read more

A little on the pricey side but our experience at potowatmi was phenomenal! The food was outstanding and we loved the selection of dishes! Definitely coming back! read more

I've been here a few times and it has always been good, but not great. The whole Peking duck is excellent though for those who like duck, a real treat. Prices are a big high for what you get, and unfortunately you have to walk through the smoke laden casino to get to the restaurant. When we got home we stunk of smoke heavily. I wish there was an exterior entrance. read more

My wife and I come here 4-5 times per year. I must say we have NEVER had a bad meal. The services is always good and the drinks are also right up there. I love the volcano chicken as it is a bit different than the traditional Thai version. Update...Volcano chicken is A1. Wife loves the pan noddles and the firecracker roll is really good. We try to get here 1X per month. read more
