    Surf and turf fried rice
    Samantha B.

    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!

    Came here to celebrate my nephew's birthday and the food and service was amazing! Large portions too, great for sharing. The Thai-Tini was so unique and delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more!

    Chunky soup
    Lori L.

    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.

    bar area. Thai wings. Potstickers.

    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

    Half crispy duck - very strong curry taste
    Thai V.

    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.

    Locally brewed beer
    Natalie K.

    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.

    Egg Drop Soup
    Melissa B.

    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.

    Wednesday special, Nigiri $1 per piece

    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.

    Spicy Korean Noodles (chicken)
    Alex G.

    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!

    Seafood delight
    JJ G.

    Pretty good the portions were huge. The price was very reasonable. Service was a little lackluster ordered the seafood delight. It had a length of full amount of shrimp, scallops, vegetables, and such.

    Rob M.

    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.

    Terrible terrible terrible

    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.

Plenty of space for parking in the back. Dark, smoky atmosphere with Asian interior designs. Perfect ambiance for BBQ! We had both Korean BBQ & hot pot, absolutely worth the price for both. The BBQ was by far everyone's favorite. We recommend the beef bulgogi, beef short ribs, and pork belly--these were the best for BBQ. Since it was all you can eat, we had a few servings of them. There was also a counter for different types of sauce one could get and a dessert section. The hot pot was great as well. We recommend the bone broth and the fish/shrimp/meatballs with it as well as udon noodles. The service was great overall. Our server was busy, but she managed to be attentive with us. We left with our belly full. We will absolutely come back.

I have ordered squid, but the dish ended up feeling more like a hotpot squid and no flavor, It was also a different kind of squid than I expected.

I hope the restaurant can improve this. The price is reasonable. I enjoyed the pork belly and the fries were good. Overall, it was okay, nothing too bad, but nothing amazing either.

Multiple people greeted us and then thanked us on the way out. All of their sushi options sounded delicious. I got the Very Crunchy. It was served with a fun presentation over dried ice. The sushi itself tasted amazing, even though sushi isn't my favorite. I got the Pad Thai for an entree and I honestly think it's some of the best Pad Thai I've had in a while in Milwaukee.

We came after visiting one of the nearby breweries. We were seated right away at the bar. I had a glass of the Black River sake and my boyfriend tried the Blossom of Peace. His was much sweeter and I was very happy with mine. They weren't served in traditional sake cups, just in regular wine glasses but this was good with me as they were a normal sized wine pour. They had a special for Bluefin Tuna. We shared the Nigiri trio by cutting each piece in half. My favorites were the two fattier cuts ( otoro, and chutoro ) I remember at this point we wished we had ordered another appetizer since the restaurant was busy and our main sushi rolls took a bit of time to arrive. We decided next time we would at least get the edamame in between plates. The rolls we ordered were the Ponzu Jello and Riverwest. The Riverwest description listed a smoky miso mayo which I did not notice a different from regular flavored mayo on a roll. The Ponzu Jello was unique and worth trying! The rolls were fat and very filling so we did not need to order more than two! I think we both agreed that the Riverwest roll was our favorite of the two. After that we noticed there was a special for some premium sake, so we ordered the G Joy. Very delicious, easy to drink and a perfect size to share.
