Best WLM Reviews
The staff here are very kind. Unfortunately didn’t enjoy the food very much. If I remember correctly, we got the Szechuan style shredded beef. This is listed as spicy, it definitely was not. The portion size was enough for two people to share. We also got the spring rolls which were meh. If you have a larger group this place could definitely accommodate you. I think the prices are also pretty decent compared to other places in the area.
Was in NYC for the weekend, did a quick google search for Chinese food near my hotel…found Chef Yu. The older gentleman that took our order was very polite, food was ready in 10 minutes. The ambiance was beautiful, modern, sophisticated and not crowded. Seated as soon as my husband and I walked in. Food was fantastic, the best beef and broccoli I’ve had in a long time. We will definitely be back next time we are in NYC.
I met my big homie here as he said their lunch special was a quick meal and a potential inflation buster. Nothing gets me out of bed like a potential inflation buster...
Chef Yu is like a Chinese version of Buca Di Beppo. A big space with ample room and huge portion sizes at decent prices, but just straight Americanized... they don't even give you chopsticks ahahahaa.
But Buca Di Beppo does have its time and place lowkey...they don't wanna have that conversation though.
The menu was huge, but I went straight to the lunch specials as you know why I'm here. I got the spicy diced chicken, and I swear to god it came in under 5 minutes from the time the words "spicy diced chicken please" left my carmex filled lips.
It came a little too quick (haha) as now I am fully aware that they have a big pot of that chicken on simmer in the back and just go and scoop it out, or they just throw it in the microwave and bring it right out to you. They should have just waited 10 min and I wouldn't have batted an eye.
However at $11.95 and a portion big enough for 2, this EASILY qualifies as an inflation buster. The mix of chicken, white rice, and vegetables was honestly pretty damn good I can't even lie. It didn't have me feeling like I was going to die after like some americanized Chinese food does.
I ate the whole thing because the chicken did SLAP, and when you from where I'm from you don't leave food on the plate. I'm also just an animal and built different so please don't beat yourself up if you can't finish it...
Another reviewer said "the food is like an upscale Panda Express," and I couldn't agree more. Nice comparison Emily C, keep doing you we see you workin!
Call it in. Tell the good people. Inflation is in TROUBLE. Chef Yu's lunch special is on its head!!!!!

Terrific Chinese food near Penn Station. Pan fried noodles with shrimp was delicious. Excellent light sauce, crisp noodles, succulent shrimp. We also had soup that was delicious. I will be returning.
A surprisingly spacious restaurant in Manhattan. The menu is large, with plenty of vegetarian choices. Try the vegetarian or pork dumplings in soy and peanut sauce. The whole fried fish was delicious. The fried rice is good to share aroubd the table. Service was attentive, and the food comes out pretty fast. Prices, given Manhattan, were closer to reasonable for such a nice place.
Lobster is super delicious ! The way of cooking from south of China , I have to come back in these coming days! Strong recommended.
The taste and portion of the food was just good. The staff's response was excellent and i filled a satisfying meal.
We were visiting NY for Comic Con and were very hungry and found this place as we were walking back to the Subway. It wasn't busy and the service was fast. By the time we entered, sat, down, and got our food, and cocktails only took 12 minutes. Which was awesome cause we were hungry from exploring the city. The prices here are very affordable, and the serving size is decent. You can probably feed 2 people with each dish. They have a special cocktail menu. In the photo is the Killer Kool-Aid, which was ok, and I had chicken Chow Mein. I also tried their pork, and fried rice was amazing. The staff was very friendly. And the atmosphere was fine dining but without the high prices. It was high-end, classy, and most important, uper clean and tidy!!
If you'rearound the area. I highly recommend it here.
