Nice Place – Went to this place a few times. Very nice. Food is good and prices aren't bad.
Solid Lunch place – The options around here are pretty dreadful. This place has been a refuge for me. The food is fairly good for the price and the noodle soups are a savior in this weather. Although I'm a fan of variety, I find myself here pretty frequently. The lunch special are good value here, the ambiance is not bad for a Chinese restaurant and the noodle soups are wonderful here.
Good Value for Lunch Special – Decent Chinese restaurant with fine decor and quick delivery/takeout. Their cuisine is Sichuan style so for spicy eaters, this is a good spot. Lunch special comes with a house salad with their special in-house spicy dressing. I personally think their dishes are a little too greasy at times although the flavor is authentic and tasty. In the West 30s area, this is definitely still one of the best Chinese restaurants.
We were waiting for a table and the hostess offered us a table that was up against a coat rack. We said no to that table and said we would wait a bit longer for a suitable table. Then we were finally seated we saw that other people were being served that came after us and we hadn't even had our order taken. My date went to the bar and ordered drinks and tried to get service. Finally a waitress with a nasty attitude came after 20 minutes and asked if we were ready to order, imagine that. We couldn't even get a glass of water.... read more
The service stinks!! – My table and I waited over 30 minutes to get served...the staff at Chef Yu really needs to get a clue.
Good atmosphere, average-ish food – I am Chinese who went to Chef Yu with a bunch of caucasian friends. We past by the place and thought it looked promising and priced reasonably. We ordered Mai Tai, and it was great! However, that was pricey...$9 (Aug 2008). I had the whole fish in hot bean sauce. It was below my expectation. The fish wasn't fresh and it taste like it had been fried a few days before. The sauce was alright but since the fish wasn't fresh, I didn't particularly enjoy it. My friends separately ordered slices ... read more
Bad Attitudes! – This is a good place to go in a pinch for a quick business meeting or after work drinks. However, some of the staff at this spot have the worst attitudes I have ever encountered. They can be very nasty for no reason at all. They greet you so rudely and act as if they are doing you a favor for allowing you to eat in their establishment. I mean if you can ignore that, it?s a cool place. The food is pretty good and the prices are too.
Great chinese food in cosy ambience – We went for New York for a long weekend and wanted to have a nice dinner on Saturday. When we passed Chef Yu (corner of 8th Ave and 36street), it looked appealing. Very cosy, which is quite hard to find in New York, unless you want to spend big bucks. And guess what? The food was GREAT and the prices very modest. As a starter we had Shrimp Dumplings: 8 dumplings for the price of only $5.99 and springrolls around $2. The portion of the springrolls was very small, but then again, so was th... read more
Great for lunchtime take-out. Prices for happy hour and very good. Chef Yu has the best Young Chow Fried rice. My stop at least once a week.
