Lamb skewers
Tom L.

Yu's diner is under new management and is now a Chinese BBQ/Skewer restaurant now calling itself 客串江湖. We came on a Saturday around 8 p.m. It was absolutely packed when we arrived, but we only had to wait 10-15 mins to be seated. There's a waitlist where you can leave your phone number, and they'll call back when your table is ready. They've completely redecorated the interior - there's plenty of seating, it's brightly lit, and there were some nice beats playing. Maybe it's because they recently reopened, but the service was horrendously slow. We ordered a lot of skewers, so I won't list them, but I will say that we waited an hour and a half for all of our food to come out. Unfortunately, the taste was between very mediocre and borderline bad. Most of the meat skewers were cold, everything else was at least edible, and the sweet pork was super dry and drenched in sauce.

Grilled Glutinous rice cakes

I really love their grilled glutinous rice cakes, perfect spiced, savory and chewy combo. it comes with 5 per order. Their orange chicken is also really good too.

Food was AMAZING!! So good, I forgot everything we ordered. Great place for skewers! Got the sweet and sour pork, so crispy even after all the sauce. There's Chinese music playing the background and nice clean designs on the wall. Service was a little choppy just cuz a little bit of language barrier but had no issues whatsoever ordering! Highly recommend, atmosphere is cozy and the lighting is perfect for a date night!

Yu's have rebranded.
Marianne C.

I recently revisited Yu's Asian Diner and was surprised to find that it has undergone a full rebrand, possibly under new ownership or under new management since their old Yelp page is now "closed" The interior has been totally updated with a fresh, new look, and they do play music, giving the place a livelier vibe. They've expanded the menu to include skewers as well as other additions while still keeping the classic American Chinese favorites and lunch specials (now about $2 more). I will definitely need to comeback not just for lunch special now as they have new items on the menu.

Sesame Chicken

The sign says Yu's, but Yu's is gone . I've been eating here for 10 years. Back when the specials were $4.99. They must have sold and I miss them. Old Yu's only used white meat. Today I had Sesame chicken popcorn chicken in a very thick sweet sauce. It wasn't great. The big pieces were weird . Old Yu's had yellow fried rice with fresh onions, carrots and peas. Now fried rice is white rice with lots of soy sauce and peas. Think St. Louis style but not as well done. Old Yu's had hand rolled spring rolls with a homemade citrus ginger sauce- it was so good! These egg rolls were flavorless and could have been frozen. Please steam that broccoli, it was fresh off the salad bar crispy. It you are gonna buy the place, buy the recipes too. Slapping black paint and red led lights on the walls does not make you better. It just made you $3 dollars more expensive for nothing. Can't trust a Chinese place without a waving Luck Cat anyways.

General Tso's Chicken
Bianca L.

Unfortunately, this place was a miss. We ordered the General Tso's Chicken, Cashew Chicken, Chicken Egg Roll and the Vegetable Egg Roll. The General Tso's Chicken was WAY too crispy (like rock-hard) and so breaded you could barely taste the chicken at all. And the sauce almost tasted like ketchup? The cashew chicken wasn't much better. The sauce had no flavor, and the cashews were all burnt. The spring rolls were super mushy and didn't come with any sauce. The fried rice had no veggies or egg in it. Just a few pieces of peas and soy sauce. If you're looking for a Chinese spot, there are so many better options in the area. Unfortunately we won't be ordering from here again.

Dined in and had the skewers. Coming back to try the crawfish. Buy 2 lbs, get one free. Fantastic. Will be back!

seasoned chives, shrimp skewers, black pepper skewers. (we also had pork belly skewers not shown in picture)

i have always loved Yu's diner even before the rebrand. my boyfriend brought me here on our first date 3 years ago and we've always made it our spot. then it went through a rebranding and we loved it even more. our server is always the same guy and he is always so kind! yes it sometimes gets busy but we are not impatient people and we love the ambiance! OH AND THE FOODDDD! The food is always amazing! I bring my sister along since she enjoys it so much as well! It is filled with so much flavor, there is never nothing we don't love here! We have been coming here for three years and will be coming for many more years to come! Thank you Yu's for always giving us a wonderful experience, food, and memories!

Skewers are good especially the fish maw, lamb, and gizzard. The lunch special fried rice is also worth it.

They are so slow. Food was promised at 9:02 and 15 minutes later still waiting. This has happened twice. Will not be going here again.

Thrilled we came here, the roast duck was amazing, tender and flavored well. I loved every bite,…read moreand the dumplings were seriously really good. My girl wanted to come here for our anniversary, it ended up being a great choice. Service was great and tended to our needs throughout our dinner, the stir fried clams were very flavorful and came out excellent. Overall, great experience, tried to make the duck and string beans look as good as they tasted! 10/10 experience!

My friend and I were craving Peking duck, so we decided to try it out. The reviews were promising,…read moreand I had heard that they carve the duck tableside. We arrived on a Wednesday evening around 7 p.m., and surprisingly, we were the only customers there, considering it was peak dinner time. We also discovered that we needed to pre-order the duck in advance. Luckily, the lady informed us that there was one available for us, but it would take about 30 minutes. We ordered the crispy cucumber salad, xiao long bao, and the dry-fried string beans. The dry-fried string beans were my favorite. The string beans had a delightful crisp texture and a flavorful taste. The cucumber salad was also good, but some parts were a bit soggy. The XLB skin was too thick and chewy, and it didn't taste like the usual soup dumplings, which was disappointing. I was excited for the duck, but I was honestly disappointed when it arrived. The portions were quite small, considering it was a whole duck. It wasn't carved tableside, which was a letdown. Some parts of the duck were dry, and the skin wasn't crispy enough. To add to the disappointment, they charge extra for almost everything. If you want more pancakes or their homemade duck sauce (which tasted like black bean sauce), you'll have to pay an additional $5. Another thing to note is that they are BYOB, so you can bring your own alcohol. However, the menu pictures on Yelp are outdated, and they only offer whole Peking duck, not half orders. Overall, the food was just okay, and I'll probably try a different spot when I'm in the mood for duck again.

Love bamboo house! This is one of my favorite places to come whenever I'm craving Peking Duck. Not…read moreonly do you get the duck with the perfectly done crispy skin in a cute dish shaped like a duck, but you also get the rest of the duck in a bone broth soup. It's so much better than chicken soup with the tenderness and flavor. They give you plenty of the pancakes and veggies. David is the absolute best everrr! He always takes care of us and knows just what to recommend. Pretty sure he sees us and just puts in the duck order at this point. Anyways, the pea shoots are basically one of the only vegetables I love to eat and I'm always so happy to see it on the menu here. All of the dishes are great and you really can't go wrong. Come with a small group for family style while enjoying the intimate environment and good food! There's always plenty of parking and it's perfectly located right off the freeway.

Of course we were here for the Peking Duck. Usually the half duck comes with 10 pieces of skins but…read morethis time we only got 8. It's possible that we may have had a couple stick together. But regardless, we didn't have enough skin so asked if we can get 2 more skins, even if we had to pay for them. The waitress barked at us that it comes in 10-pks and that she can't get us just 2 pieces. Fine, but there's no need to be annoyed and roll your eyes at us. The service was much to be desired. We ordered the A-Choy vegetable and it was awful, old and yellow and not cooked well. It's like they didn't sauté it in a hot enough wok so it wasn't crispy. So disappointing this time. Don't get me wrong, the Peking Duck and the soup that comes with it were still pretty good. Thus the second star.
