Takara Plum Wine
Grace L.

It had been a while since my last visit, but this place at Hard Rock still delivers. We were seated almost immediately after arriving. We placed our order, and the food arrived promptly and exactly as requested. Our server was excellent. Very fast, efficient, and checked on us throughout the meal to make sure everything was okay. We don't visit this casino too often, but we will definitely consider stopping back in next time we are here!

Wonton soup

Food was pretty tasty. Fast, quick, fresh. The tossed noodles were my favorite- we got chicken veg chow mein & garlic noodles. The duck was crispy like my dad likes. Shrimp egg rolls were fire! Service is fast and friendly and attentive. Ambiance is classic casino restaurant vibe. We'd come back!

"Teriyaki rice plate" .. looks like sesame chicken though
Kourtney W.

Had lunch here today and food was ok.. I wanted to try new things here and honestly I should've stuck with my original orders lol. The restaurant is a good size with plenty of seating. Service is always nice and friendly. We had the chicken with scallion special, chicken chow mein, beef stir fry, chicken lettuce wrap and my son ordered a teriyaki chicken rice plate. The chicken scallion was ok. The chow mein was good. The beef stir fry was on the saucy dry side. I know sounds weird but it really was saucy but the beef was dry like beef jerky almost dry lol. The lettuce wrap was ok. My son's teriyaki chicken rice plate looks like sesame chicken rice plate instead. Overall I think I would stick with my usual .. which is beef chow fun and salt n pepper shrimp or walnut shrimp next time.

Opens at 11am on Friday

Youyu Noodle Bar is located inside Hard Rock Sacramento at Fire Mountain (otherwise known as Wheatland, CA). Ambiance is dim, cozy, and inviting. Staff are friendly and provide good service. We've dined at Youyu a few times. The food ranges from decent to good but doesn't compare well against Chinese Dim Sum Restaurants in Sacramento. Still, I like having this restaurant option at the casino and will come back for their sweet and sour chicken alone because they use dark meat pieces - they're salted, fried to perfection, and the sweet and sour sauce is superbly balanced!

The only time I've been able to try the food here is to redeem my free bow of pho/ramen. The pho is decent for being free, but it's definitely better than the ramen. Every time Ive tried to eat here for it's been too busy or closed. I did order a beef chow fun to go and it was disappointing for being $19! The noodles were too soft. Maybe one day I'd get to try their other food.

Good place to get pho. I'm so glad they added this place to Hard Rock! I just get the simple dumpling pho with noodles. Good seating and lighting in the restaurant as well.

Beef broccoli
Clarissa P.

Tried Youyo recently and was pleasantly surprised with the variety of flavors. The beef broccoli was packed with flavor and had that perfect balance of savory and tender beef. The walnut shrimp stood out with its nice sweetness that wasn't overpowering, making it a great dish to share. I also really enjoyed the spare rib, which was cooked perfectly--tender and full of flavor. The chicken feet leaned a little sour for my taste, but it might be enjoyable if you like a tangier profile but i'm pretty sure it might have been bad. Thank you to our server, for switching it out for us though. On the other hand, the Hainanese chicken was excellent, especially paired with the ginger sauce that really brought out its flavors. Besides the food, the restaurant provided a very cozy and relaxed feel to it that made our dining experience enjoyable.

Won ton noodle soup
Colin O.

Found this place inside of the Hard Rock. Kind of an interesting mesh of asian food. Some Chinese, some Vietnamese, and some sushi thrown In. The roast duck was actually pretty good, the noodle soup, the broth was good, the noodles were supposed to be egg noodles but definitely didnt look like it. All in all, not too bad. Just an interesting mix of foods.

Menu

Yummy, yummy, yummy get in my tummy. We went to a concert a Toyota Amphitheater down the street and were hungry for some noodles afterwards and decided to give YOUYU Noodle Bar a try. The casino was so busy and we did not have a reservation so we decided it might be worth the wait to sit at the bar. Glad we made that decision because after 30 minutes or so wait, we were seated at the bar. We started with a couple appetizers, and then got pho and another noodle soup. The service was great. This is our new after concert spot. The bar was great, but we'd like to make a reservation in the future, and sit at a table.

Ground Chicken Basil Stir Fry
Anastasia C.

We've been here a handful of times late night after the A1 Combat fights. I recommend making a reservation on Open Table. Regardless if it's packed, which it usually is, or empty- the staff all seem to love their job! They are friendly and have an energetic mood. Theres a busser in particular who has such good energy every time we see him - playful with the other staff and genuinely happy. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and has an up-scale Chinese vibe. The red accent lighting and brightly colored rugs complement the ambiance nicely. The food is always fresh, hot, and flavorful! Some of our favorite dishes are: Szechuan Green Beans - helllla flavorful with a little bit of that tongue-numbing heat Pad Kra Pao (Ground Chicken Basil Stir Fry) - the chicken is chunky ground pieces so it's meatier than other places. And love that it's loaded with veggies and tiny cut green beans. It comes with a side of rice too! Steamed Pork Buns - comes with 3 per order but they are pretty big! Super soft and fluffy and has a generous amount of bbq pork inside. The pork is meaty, not fatty and saucy to soak into the bun. Black Pepper Beef Tenderloin- good portion of beef for 2 people with lots of bell peppers and onions to add to the volume of the dish. The black pepper sauce is delicious, has lots of garlic pieces mixed in. Really good on top of the complimentary rice to soak it up. Pork potstickers- pan fried and taste like they are made in-house. Appreciate that it comes with 6 pieces so that there's enough to go around. The dipping sauce is good too, not your average soy sauce. The meat itself taste high quality and really tender. I only had one piece that was a little chewy. Also realllly like their chili paste that's on the table- it's Smokey and umami without too much heat. It's great on errrythang!

Pad Thai - noodles were too sticky.
Amy H.

We ate here twice and in both times service was great, the servers were awesome, attentive and friendly, but their food weren't the best. It is a nice cozy spot sit and eat. I just wish the food was better. The pork fried rice looks like it was just mixed together and not tossed in a pan. The duck was dry. It may have been sitting out since the morning. Green beans were overly salty. The pad Thai noodles were way too sticky to each other. The best things were the chicken feet and hot & sour soup.

Vegetable fried rice - no flavor
Chef Will G.

Went to Stripper Fest in Yuba City then went to Hard Rock Cafe since it was close. Ambiance Bright colors, very clean. Customer Service It was ok. Food Seafood with vegetables. Fresh vegetables but no flavor sent it back. I rarely do this. It was not good. Substituted Kung Pao chicken which was very good, crisp bell pepper. Vegetable Fried Rice It was ok, a bit bland. The chefs need to taste their food or follow the recipes. They have no pride in their craft. Should have ordered a hamburger at Hard Rock Cafe.

So there I was... sitting on an oil rig in Alaska, talking to a sheriff's deputy with over 20 years…read moreon the job. He says, "My buddies keep telling me about this place called Pho King Good." Funny part? Even he had never been there. Well, that little story stuck with me. Fast forward a few weeks. My road trip partner, Koda, and I are heading home from Disneyland, cutting through Sacramento toward Grass Valley. We roll into Auburn and BOOM there it is. Pho King Good. Now let's just take a second to appreciate that name. If you're gonna swing for the fences with a name like Pho King Good, you've set the bar about as high as Mount Everest. You don't get to be "pretty decent." You'd better make me question every bowl of pho I've ever eaten. The sign? Absolutely iconic. It practically jumps out and hollers at you from the side of the road. Easy in, easy out. Road-tripper approved. Walking inside, though, I was expecting a little more "Pho King Palace" and a little less "we've been meaning to remodel since the Clinton administration." The marble counter looked nice enough, but the place just felt like it needed a little love. If I owned a restaurant with a name that good, I'd lean into it. Give me lanterns. Give me atmosphere. Make me feel like the King just walked in. Charge me another couple bucks if you have to I wouldn't mind if the experience matched the name. Then came the menu. It felt a little like Dysfunction Junction. They had everything listed, but it wasn't organized in a way that made ordering easy. Give me sections. House Pho. Beef Pho. Chicken Pho. Special Pho. Help a hungry traveler out. The food? Solid... right down the middle of the road. After hours in the car, a hot bowl of pho hits the spot no matter what. Koda really enjoyed his chicken dish, and our vegetable egg rolls with the peanut sauce were decent, although the wrapper was just a touch on the rubbery side. The owner was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable, which always counts for something. My only real disappointment was this: with a name like Pho King Good, I expected to leave saying, "That's the best pho I've ever had." Instead, I left saying, "That was... good." And then came the plot twist. Time to pay. Cash only. So now I'm walking out to the ATM like I'm making a withdrawal for a back-alley poker game or a dispensary run. I'm standing there thinking, "Well... this tip just took a hit because I wasn't planning on paying an ATM fee for my noodles." I still don't quite understand it. You're giving change, printing receipts, running a business... we're already 95% of the way to taking cards! Overall, this wasn't about whether the food was amazing or terrible. It was about the experience. Sometimes that's the story worth telling. Would I stop again on another road trip? Probably. Because sometimes a bowl of pho, your best buddy Koda riding shotgun, and a restaurant with the greatest pun in California are all you really need. And if they ever decide to polish the place up and make it live up to that legendary name... It might just become Pho King Great.

VEGAN SIGHTING!!! I…read moredon't even know where to start my fellow vegans. This quirky, Vietnamese restaurant in the city of Auburn, CA, has by far the best vegan Banh Mi sandwich. The tofu was prepared so it did not take up the whole sandwich. The pickled radish and carrots had the perfect and balanced of sour and sweet. Of course, can't leave out the herbs of cilantro and fresh jalapinjoes. The french bread was crispy outside but still soft and hearty as you take a bite. My earth was it a 2 thumbs up!!! Then their vegan pho with veggies and tofu did not disappoint. Their veggie broth was perfectly blended and made wonderfully that I was not even thinking this was vegan. The staff was kind and informative. They were attentive and friendly. Then comes the merch. If you like a play on the word Pho, then come and check out their shirts for sale. All I have to say is "Life is Pho king good." With this said, another gem in Auburn, CA.

I visited this restaurant a few days ago and had such an amazing overall experience that I wanted…read moreto leave a review. The ambiance is fantastic with beautiful, well‑thought‑out decor. The whole dining space looks really stunning and comfortable for dining in. It was amazing watching the chef cook in the open kitchen! I ordered the Sichuan shrimp combo fried rice and Mongolian beef. The Sichuan shrimp combo fried rice was perfectly wok‑hei, well‑seasoned, plenty of plump, juicy shrimp in every bite. Mongolian beef was absolutely fantastic, tender slices of beef coated in rich, savory‑sweet sauce, not overly greasy at all. Every dish tasted fresh and full of flavor. The staff provided excellent, attentive service, very polite and quick to respond to requests. Service was friendly and efficient. This place is definitely on my to go list, highly recommend stopping by!

Wow just wow!!!! In the word of Arnold " I'll be back!"…read more We just stopped in for a quick bit but I think I just found my new restaurant. We ordered the Mu Shu pork which was to die for!!!!!! 100000000% recommend. A little sweet a little nutty, and blasting with flavor. We also order the lake beef soup . Now if you don't like cilantro I highly suggest getting something else. Or at least order it with out cilantro cuz that is a lot. The potsticker are ok honestly nothing special about them but they were decent. I can't wait to come back and try many different options.
