The prices are a bit high for my liking, but maybe this is a norm out here in Livermore. We ordered 3 items: Combo fried rice, Orange Chicken, and Chicken Corn Soup. Spent about $50. The food would have been only enough for 2 people. Food was good, soup was a bit salty and had a bit too much cornstarch. Orange chicken was delicious, I would go back for this anytime. The fried rice was okay, a little too dry, but not too bad. Overall the food was good and service was quick. We didn't wait too long for our order.

I did one of…read morethe combo dinner meals where the minimum is 2 for most combos, but they also offer 1 solo combo as well. I think the combo i choose was $26/pp. In the combo it comes with two entrees, i got mongolian beef and replaced the kung pao chicken with sweet and sour pork, it also came with the soup of the day, fried rice or chow mien, and fried prawns & pot stickers. Yummy and perfect for 2 people! They also have extra add ons if you have 3 or more. Everything was delicious, i enjoyed all the onions and peppers in the beef and the sweet and sour pork was also notable in this meal. The fried prawns i wish the batter was a bit seasoned but the sauce helps. The service was great, we came a little before closing so we were like 2 out of maybe 10 people in the restaurant. The ambience was bright like traditional canton restaurants as well as booths and regular seating. I revisted this place for a lunch special later down the week and it was still great! Definitely returning, I suggest you stop by and visit :)

One of the worst dining experiences we've had in Livermore. We had family visiting from out of town…read moreand were excited to take them to Uncle Yu's, a restaurant we had enjoyed several times before. Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, the hostess was extremely rude, cold, and dismissive. Every question was met with attitude, and the way we were treated made us feel very unwelcome. As a family of a different nationality, I couldn't help but wonder whether that played a role. When I asked to speak with the manager, hoping she would address the situation, she was immediately defensive and completely dismissed my concerns. Sadly, the poor treatment continued with the rest of the staff. I kept giving them chances, thinking the next interaction would be better, but it wasn't. To top it off, the food was nowhere near the quality we remembered--it was mediocre at best. We came in excited to share a restaurant we had previously enjoyed with our family and left feeling unwelcome, disrespected, and extremely disappointed. After being repeat customers, this experience has completely changed how we feel about Uncle Yu's.

I ordered the salt and pepper fish which was filet of sole that looked like nuggets, accompanied by fired rice and a cup of egg flower soup. The other dish we had was garlic shrimp again with fried rice and soup. We will definitely be back.

I enjoyed my meal at this Cantonese spot in Dublin…read more I stopped by for dinner with a friend on a Tuesday evening around 5 pm and it wasn't too crowded. My friend got the hot HK milk tea ($4.95). I tried a sip and it was delicious with the perfect blend of tea, condensed milk, and sugar. The menu selection is decent, with plenty of options for noodles and rice and a smaller selection of meat dishes. They also serve congee and chang fun / rice noodle rolls as well as Cantonese bbq meats. We shared two dishes: #12 salt and pepper tofu ($8.95) #47 braised egg tofu beef cube ($25.95) Both the tofu and beef were delicious. The tofu was fried perfectly and had the right amount of seasoning. The beef cubes were super tender and I appreciated all the veggies that it came with, in addition to the egg tofu. I paired both with a bowl for rice for an extra $2.50. Portions were large for both items and we ended up taking some leftovers home. They heated up well the next day for lunch!

3.75, rounded up to 4 stars…read more Dismissed this restaurant for years since I didn't have a reason to frequent this side of Dublin. I've now moved here, less than 3 miles from GC. Didn't realize they had a change of ownership and name a few years back so wanted to check them out. Not gourmet but hearty, tasty food. Dated deco and dining room seems cramped and claustrophobic despite all the windows. The black and red color scheme probably contributes a lot to that. Giving hole-in-the-wall Chinatown vibes but cleaned up for the 'burbs. So far, faves include congee with 1,000 year egg&pork and roast duck over rice. Cube steak with assorted mushrooms is beef tenderloin. Good but the seasoning is sweetish, just added a little salt to fix this. Also there was a mixup on my latest takeout order. Don't know if it was a miscommunication or I pointed to the wrong tofu dish my mistake. I wanted the mixed veggies with tofu. I got baby bok choy with goji berry/bean curd sauce. One dish not to my taste isn't going to deter me. The yummy duck and congee has me excited to return and explore more of the menu.

Soooo, after some ownership changes, my peeps moving on…read more Not only have they increased the prices by 100%, but the quality is not the same. Fried rice is bland, the portion of my Mongolian beef lunch staple, feels light. Def a different cook, just not the same. People are still friendly, even if it's a new crew. But it really is no longer the great deal it was for years. So just needed to update my review for the current situation. I understand lease rates in Livermore has gotten stupid, but 3-4% inflation doesn't agree with 100%+ increases we are seeing. Sucks when our local favorites jump on that bandwagon .

We love that they have Szechuan cuisine as well as American Chinese, and it's not too salty, too oily, or too bland. The spicy dishes we've been getting our excellent. And while they don't have a traditional twice cooked pork, they do have excellent cumin lamb/beef and dry-spiced chicken! Next we plan to try the Dan Dan noodles and mapo tofu. The man who answers the phone is always really nice and helpful when I call in an order, and has helpful advice and suggestions, like when I accidentally order all spicy dishes (and I'm feeding kids always) or if I just ask (do you have something with this and this?). I love how friendly and helpful they are here! They have a dedicated easy to access parking lot which I love over downtown places, and the interior looks nice and comfy although I've only ever done takeout. Everything is always hot and fresh, we've never had anything taste stale or old like Peking did in the end on Las Positas. The wonton soup also was delicious on last visit! Plenty of flavor but not too much oil, and my kids loved the broth. I was excited to learn you can swap in almost any entrees you want for the family meal, making it a good deal! I especially love the whiteboard menu of specials at the door. This is how our old favorite restaurant back home always did it, and I'm now taking it to mean the mark of a good restaurant. Try something off that menu, it's got the best dishes!

Ordered the fish in spicy garlic sauce thinking that it would be in more of a garlic soy sauce. Instead it was fried pieces of fish in a sweet & spicy sauce similar to the chili dipping sauce.

I brought the rice & chow main home and added it our to dinner.

We were instructed to come up to the register to order when ready, and the food would be brought out. I don't mind this setup, but since the restaurant is small and the tables take up a lot of space, it can get congested at the front when busy. FOOD - Cucumber Salad - Shumai - Pork XLB - Chili Wontons We ordered these four items along with drinks, and everything was DELICIOUS. The quality is evident, as they prepare everything in-house, steaming and cooking each dish to order. The staff were very friendly, and the kitchen was busy with many people cooking and prepping. My FAV was the shumai. These were juicy and so flavorful. I look forward to returning to try more menu items!

Smaller restaurant, maybe 10-14 total tables. Light decor. With a see through window into the kitchen. When you enter you are pointed to a table. They drop down menus but you walk to the cashier to order. We ordered the following: Popcorn chicken Crab and pork xiao long bao (8) Lo mein Pan fried pork buns (4) Popcorn chicken doesn't feel like they skimp and have good size chunks of chicken. Feels like Taiwanese fried chicken from your local boba shop. Xiao long bao was the star of the order, solid soup dumplings with great filling and broth. Pan fried pork buns, second favorite dish. Similiar as in a broth on the interior but purely pork. The bun is more of a softer bread you would get in like siopao in Filipino dishes. Quick service, food comes out quick, and plenty of portions that we eventually take home left overs. Staff is friendly and quick to clear tables. Highly recommend to stop by.
