    Shanghai Dumplings
    Kara S.

    How nice! We stopped here randomly and we are glad we did. There is a good amount of seating. Very traditional and they have a lot of beautiful artwork and things to look at. The lighting is calming the seating is comfortable. The service was quick and very attentive and everyone was very friendly. We had the Shanghai Bao Buns which were warm and flavorful. Then we both had the Beef Stew Wonton Noodles. The broth had amazing flavor and was very hearty with noodles, wontons, beef, and bok choy. We hope to come back, their menu is extensive and has a bunch of things I've not seen before!

    A few years ago we lived in Sharonville and Uncle Yips was one of our favorite Asian restaurants. Then some changes occurred: we moved to West Chester, Covid hit and Uncle Yips changed ownership. As a result we have not been back for several years but we saw from the reviews it is as good as ever. So, we decided to drive the extra few miles on a rainy Friday night and found the place about 1/2 full at 6:30 pm. The interior has had some upgrades but it seemed to me they needed more wait staff. In spite of that, they managed to get us seated, served and out the door in a reasonable amount of time. Our Seafood fried rice and Singapore Mai Fun were very good. I think Johnny Chans Mei Fun is the best ever but Yips is a respectable second. Portions were enormous so we will be eating our leftovers for two more days. Prices have remained reasonable except for the twin lobsters that used to be $39 several years ago. This night they were an unbelievable $99! I give them a 5-star rating and will be driving out of my way again to eat there again.

    Just a small sample of the dim sum deliciousness!

    I absolutely LOVE dim sum, and it's been sooooooooooo long since I've had it, and would GLADLY again drive 1+ hours again TOMORROW to get MORE at Uncle Yip's cozy, POPULAR restaurant!! So many wonderful, DELICIOUS choices, as usual I wanted one of EVERYTHING, and probably would have sampled MUCH more, but my dining companions were much more "sensible" (boring?!?) eaters than I am!! We smartly arrived early (around 11:30, they open at 11) on a Sunday morning and were seated (and rolled out our "first course") almost immediately!! Be brave, adventurous and willing to try all the WONDERFUL, tantalizing "small plates" that come your way, and leave FULL, happy, and already planning your next visit!! Friendly service, authentic fare, and very reasonable prices. Come with a group, arrive early, and ENJOY!!

    Went for Christmas Day dinner as I've always wanted the Christmas Story experience. It was very crowded, but totally to be expected. I made a reservation, that was lost, however they managed to seat our party within 10 min. Once seated, we were told our food would take about an hour to arrive, which I appreciated. Once we sat, we received our drinks within about 20 min. After our food order had been placed for about 30 min, I was told that the special lobster dish I ordered would take at least 2 hours. I promptly cancelled that and I believe that the issue that occurred is our whole order may have been cancelled vs just the dish. After waiting for another 1.5 hrs for food and watching the restaurant clear out around us, we were finally asked what we had ordered. It was then our meal began to come out in waves and we finally opted for takeout. While I totally understood how busy the day was, I was a bit perturbed with the length of time our food took. However, appreciated the fact the restaurant comped our meal as a result. Overall, I thought the service here was very kind and the food was good enough to try again on a less busy day.

    This "old school" Chinese restaurant is located in a strip mall. It maybe easy to miss if looking for it the first time. The inside is full of warm woods and Asian decor. We were seated quickly. Their menu is extensive, with everything from appetizers to main dishes. And some fairly authentic ones at that! The fried shrimp balls we ordered as an appetizer were very good and served steaming hot. My beef dish had ample amounts of fresh veggies mixed in with the beef. The prices are moderate and and the service efficient. Our servers were friendly and helpful with menu questions. If you're looking for Asian cuisine that goes beyond your 'fast food' Chinese then I definitely recommend giving Uncle Yip's a try.

    Sticky rice with salted smelt, shrimp and various other dishes.

    Used to come here a long time ago for dim sum. Decided to stop by and try. This Sunday had quite a few people. The carts were pushed around and I got the fried shrimp, fried smelt,l tendon, sticky rice, and bean curd. Typical dim sum fare. I was excited... but too soon. The extra priced smelt and shrimp were cold. They must have been on the cart for awhile. The food was overall really salty. One dish had nothing but pure soy sauce on it. I initially asked for water but never came until asking again mid way through meal. I puzzled it and had to wait awhile so I could ask for more. I would have ordered more but unfortunately the service leaves a lot to be desired. My bill came out to be around 41 dollars. Yeah I ate ate quite a bit. Not sure what I really think. It has changed a bit I feel. Again just too salty. So a 3 star (would eat and pay) to maybe try again on another day.

    Better than it has been in the past years. I feel like Uncle Yips stepped it up a notch. Fresh weekend dim sum with endless choices. Along with dim sum, I ordered sweat and sour chicken. By far the best S&S chicken I've ever had period. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I give this place 5-stars for their category.

    Beef Stew Wonton and Beef Noodle Soup Taiwan  Style----台湾牛肉面
    Aaron W.

    Unassuming location and decor. We were a bit apprehensive about this place, but the reviews were good. We had the Beef Noodle Soup Taiwan Style, and Beef Stew Wonton Noodle Soup. Both were very good and HUGE portions. The only negative comment is that the service was very slow. There was only one server during the lunch service. It was a bit frustrating. But overall it was a decent experience. Definitely a repeat offender.

    I hosted 8 friends at Uncle Yip's on Friday, for authentic Chinese food, and we had a fantastic time. They seated us at the round table with the giant glass lazy susan, which we played with pretty much all night (when each dish came my friends had to maneuver it to me first, so I could take pictures, then on to the person who ordered it -- I was calling it the "photo tax"). We discovered that they have new dine-in menus -- they are now thicker, with beautiful pictures of each dish, so customers know exactly what they're ordering. More than one person at the table said that they didn't know what to order:"I want all of them -- they all look so all amazing!!" And yes, they all were! My favorites around the table were the crab rangoon, the Kung Pao Chicken, authentic style (all dark meat, no vegetable, very spicy), the Spicy Sizzling Beef (my dish, which was amazingly tender!), and the Chicken Lo Mein. All together, still strongly strongly recommend, more than ever before, for great service, a beautiful setting, and fresh, authentic food!!

It was one of my favorite dishes we had. Other winners included the General Chicken which was made in a way that I hadn't tasted before. I wish it had more broccoli on the side because it was goooood The kung pao chicken was also a huge success. It came SPICY. The portions of all the entrees are huge. All of the other dishes that were ordered and shared were greeted with positive feedback. Highly recommended! The service was friendly. They could use one more person to help out because on our second visit they were in the weeds a bit. The parking on the street was a little rough.

The gentleman asked if we had reservations. We did not. He simply said, "Then we'll have three more guests for the evening" or something along those lines. He was very kind. Before our friend arrived, a woman stopped by to welcome us. Top notch service so far! The ambiance is beautiful. The lighted tree and decor behind us was a lot, but it felt tasteful. Jack, our server, stopped by to get us water. When our friend arrived we had a lot to talk about. Jack stopped by several times and was very chill about us taking our time. He said he didn't mind if we still weren't ready and he'd return to check on us as often as necessary. Again, kindness and patience abound at Oriental Wok. The Ma La Dumplings were absolutely delicious. The filling was delicious and the spice level, which we knew would be spicy, was perfect. Truly a wonderful bite. I had Five-Spice Tofu. The tofu was crispy as advertised and the greens were in a very light and delectable sauce. Green onions were sprinkled with the greens. I feel sometimes greens like these are an afterthought at many restaurants. At Oriental Wok they were as much a star as the crispy tofu. Mark had Orange Chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it. He mentioned the orange flavor was perfect. Either Jack asked if we wanted dessert and I missed it or he didn't ask. Our friend thought maybe he did and she said no, but she couldn't be sure. I just remember him stopping by to ask if we needed boxes. Anyway, next thing I knew we had our checks. I really wanted dessert, but I took it as a sign it was time for us to wrap up. I'm absolutely certain he would have been more than happy to bring us some dessert and update our checks, so going without was on me and that's cool. I think it's safe to say we will be back!

I really liked the Curry Laksa, Nasi Lemak, and the Hong Kong chicken was crispy and seasoned very well. They offer so many different dishes and options and they're all made well. Their prices are affordable and their portions are quite big. I recommend trying dishes from each category, you can't go wrong. We also got a couple bobas and I get my usual, durian milk tea. They're one of the only places I know that has this flavor option and they make it well. Overall, the quality of food is great and tastes delicious. Staff is super nice, kind, and patient. We took a little bit longer to order but our server was so nice. Our server recommended a few dishes and we got a couple and those were fantastic! I would recommend this place for a casual date, small group, authentic dishes, and delicious boba. Overall, a very comfy, warm, and welcoming place for delicious food and I recommend it.
