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
Crystal W.

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.

I've gone here about 4 times in the past 3 years, and I'm glad to say I will keep returning. The…read morestaff here are amazing, and so helpful on giving tips, especially if it's your first time at kbbq. I'm glad the staff are knowledgeable about the place they work, and the energy surrounding the place is nice too. Peaceful and quiet chatter amongst others and no unpleasant noises or disturbances. The food is definitely something to praise too. I always end up eating nearly 2-3 all you can eat plates of bulgogi myself, their shrimp, and la galbi (beef short rib) are quite nice too. But the side dishes are my absolute favorite! Although the chicken and dipping sauces aren't something to fuss over, they're not horrible. Top recommendation: Bulgogi, la galbi & side dishes I'm looking forward to coming back again, and hopefully (unlike the many times before) I leave room for dessert! The yakgwa sundae looks promising.

As regular patrons of hot pot for date night, bf and I decided to try this place…read more I'll sort by pros and cons as I see it related to other hot pot places we've had: PROS: - Hot pot and BBQ grill at the same time for the same price! Great value there - Fairly large vegetable/noodle/etc bar - Waiters were incredibly attentive - All meats tasted high quality CONS: - No true "sauce bar"--I kind of tried to replicate my usual combo using the salad supplies and sauces - The meats are clearly made for either the grill or the pot 80% of the time with very few that can do both. For example, pork belly (grill) is different from THIN pork belly (pot). Beef belly worked best in the pot. Chicken worked best on the grill. Etc - Beef broth I got for my hotpot was decent but worse than most pork bone broths I default to For the same price as Seapot, I'd still personally prefer Seapot. But I think this place does best a lot of competition like Nan and Hai Di Lao. Give it a try for sure.

This place is newly opened and replaces the vacancy of Bull Daddy's. We came by around 2 p.m. on a…read moreSaturday for a late lunch. I think they kept the same decor and seating arrangement as the previous owner - still very spacious with lots of seating. It was pretty empty when we came by -- probably normal a couple of days after Thanksgiving. Pro tip: there's a section with only Chinese names, and that's where the better, more authentic dishes are. The "lunch special" side feels more Americanized. Food came out fast (about 10 minutes). My favorites were the litchi-shaped pork, 老酒蛏子, and the three-braised combo. The pork was very lean with great sweet and sour sauce. The 老酒蛏子 was fragrant, tender, and full of umami. The three-braised combo was braised just right and very flavorful; didn't need the extra sauce on the side. Only one person was working the floor (the boss lady), who was very chatty since it wasn't busy. Overall, a decent spot.

Fangs Wok is a new restaurant here in Plano. We were curious about this place and the type of…read morecuisine they specialized in. So we decided to check it out. Since it was our first time here, the server suggested some dishes for us. We finally settled on the drunken pork ribs, egg tofu, and a meat soup. The egg tofu was delicious. But don't get it wrong. Egg tofu is not really regular tofu. It was made from steaming beaten eggs and soy milk. The texture was just as soft and silky as tofu. Fried to a golden brown, the tofu was placed on top of bok choy in a glossy brown sauce. The dish looked simple, but it was very tasty. The drunken fried pork was crispy and tasty. But the alcohol flavor could be stronger. The rabbit soup was the star. Yes, rabbit soup! I don't remember the last time I had rabbit meat. The soup was prepared with red yeast rice (紅糟米), which is new to me. To my surprise, the soup was very savory with a strong taste of wine (from the yeast fermentation). We loved it! This item is not on the menu for some reason. So if you want to try something exotic, ask the server about it. The place is cozy and homey. The server was attentive and friendly. She came by to check on us a few times. We appreciated it. Overall, we enjoyed the meal. We'll come back to try the other dishes.

Cris and John Review The Tamarind Burger with fries and sweet and sour wings -- the fries were perfectly crispy and meaty. The siracha mayo was mild so if you can't handle spice, no worries, it's not spicy at all ! The sweet and sour wings tasted more like honey mustard. It was so much food, i barely got to taste the burger so i will update my review when I've done so. So far, foods lookin pretty good ! Update: the tamarind burger needs its own review cause it's a STAR. First off, the burger is huge af. I love the flavor, it's kinda sweet, with a little light tang in the back, i never would've thought of tamarind on a burger but it's probably my favorite thing from the whole meal . 12/10 Veggie egg rolls -- fantastic !! So crunchy and flaky High protein platter -- mean was thick cut and flavorful however the plate as a whole was lackluster in overall taste. The service was great ! The kind woman who took our order was really helpful when i needed to correct my order and the staff was genuinely kind , checking up on us throughout the meal. It was kind of empty cause we came in a Tuesday at 3 pm so it was nice to relax and enjoy the atmosphere while waiting for our food. And Happy birthday to the kind girl at the front !

Don't be intimated by the line though, it goes quickly & the staff has things running so smoothly... all while being super friendly & attentive. The birria Bao buns & pork belly banh mi were our choices. The bao was delicious, it held the filling well & had a good crisp to it. Banh mi, so generous in the portion, hearty to say the least. Flavor & presentation were on point for both with a perfect blend of each culture. Brightly colored decor that makes you feel like you're in another place, very inviting with a busy outgoing vibe. We definitely can't wait to go back!

The ambiance tries to give you a fun Asian street food feel, minus the gravel and actual cars zooming by. I also loved that they have games you can grab and play at the table while you wait. We grabbed an UNO deck and had fun with that. We wanted to try a variety of things without ordering so much that we wouldn't finish it, and honestly, every single item we tried was delicious. They did a great job staying true to the traditional flavors and recipes. The nasi lemak was SO good! It has such a unique flavor that I know isn't for everyone, but they did it really well. Definitely one of my favorites from the meal. Our server was also wonderful. She asked about food restrictions, and one of our dishes accidentally came out with nuts. She immediately brought us a replacement and apologized before we even noticed. That kind of attention to detail and care really stood out. Definitely coming back to try more items. We really enjoyed our meal!

While I waited, several different employees came up asking why I was there and what my order was, which made it feel like no one was communicating with each other. My order wasn't ready until almost, 35 minutes past my scheduled pickup time. Around 7:25 PM, someone asked if I wanted whipped cream on my Thai tea, but instead of handing it to me, they set it on the back counter, where it sat until the rest of my order was ready. By the time I got it, it was watered down and sweating. I'm really disappointed. The whole point of ordering ahead and scheduling a pickup time is to avoid a long wait. A few minutes' delay is understandable, but 35 minutes past a pre-scheduled order is pretty ridiculous. I hope they improve how they handle pickup orders, because this experience makes me hesitant to order ahead again.

I got gyoza and Katsu Don, and my partner got a Charashi Bowl and Red Clam sushi. The gyoza I'd say was above average and pleasantly crispy. The provided salad was pleasant with a strong citrusy ginger flavor. The Red Clam sushi had wasabi hidden underneath the meat, so keep that in mind if you're a spice baby like myself. My partner described the Charashi bowl as good, especially for the price. My Katsu Don is where I felt everything fell a little flat. It was overly sweet, the rice underneath tasted a bit stale and like nothing, and the katsu itself was a bit too moist and no longer crispy on the outside. However, I must note that it was an impressive $13, when I feel the usual is more like over $20, for a decent amount. The waitstaff brought us these lovely pre-peeled and cut oranges with the check and they were a nice touch to the meal. Overall we had a decent, pleasant experience here!
