Our usual place was closed, so i yelped this place. I ordered through the app. It was easy to order. They offer a vomment box so you can ask for what you want. The wait was an hour for delivery, but it came hot and packed against spools. The egg rolls were like spring rolls, but tasted fresh. The orange chicken had actual pieces of orange. The kids loved it. I think i might have found a new place to order from.

Tried some last minute takeout here a couple of weekends ago. Prices were good and the service was great. We ordered shrimp fried rice, crab rangoon and egg rolls. The fried rice was very good, but the crab rangoon and egg rolls were so heavy handed on the oil that it ruined them.

What a deal for lunch. Less than $6 for lunch including tax. I got a small cup of hot and sour soup, a crab rangoon, an egg roll, fried rice, and Generals Tsos chicken. The egg roll was very good and fresh. They make it themselves. This is not that mush every other Chinese place has in their eggrolls. Highly recommended this place.

Solid food, nice owner. Decent service. Great for take out and the table service is not beautiful but it is functional.

The fried rice was excellent and portions more than generous. They get to the order quickly and the place has a nice small restraint seating available. Nice place

I will not be ordering from here again. I was glad to see online ordering and thought I'd give it a try, it was quick and easy. 90 Minutes later I was calling them to see where my order was. I was told the delivery guy had just left. He showed up about 5 mins later. The food was cold so the delay wasn't that I was getting something fresh and hot for my order. The food did not make up for the time it took. Definently moving on to try another place next time.

In driving down Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn I noticed that yet another Chinese restaurant had opened up. In a spot that once housed a K.F.C. and more recently than that Arvati's Pizza, I noticed a sign on the outside saying lunch buffet from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM and then made a mental note to stop by when I had the opportunity and that day was yesterday. In walking into Yu's Garden you'll notice there's a handful of tables, a bar/checkout counter and a buffet tray in the corner. Shortly after walking in I was greeted and told them I wanted to try the buffet, I was assigned a seat, asked what I wanted to drink and soon was on my way to the table. Right away I recognized some of the staff as being from the now closed Bejing restaurant that was right down the street. I got a few plates of food, and lo and behold it was identical to the food served at Bejing in the past few years. A very sweet sauce on things like General Tso's chicken rather than being particularly spicy, identical cheese wontons. Overall the food was good for a buffet but not exactly knock your socks off fantastic either. Finally in checking out I noticed that my receipt that it said Bejing on it. Clearly, Bejing simply moved down the street to a smaller location and changed their name. If you were a fan of Bejing before it closed, then Yu's Garden is exactly what you would expect. I'd say overall it's average Chinese food and that some better options do exist in the area (though not that offer a buffet). The service here was extraordinarily friendly and the buffet was inexpensive. Overall I am going to give it three stars. This is good food, at a fair price with excellent service.

This place does have alright tasting food, however, they mess up their orders. Ordered two lunch specials with my family, was way overcharged for the dinner entrees instead. Called them back, instead of getting new meals and returning the uneaten food, they said since we got bigger portions we would only be able to get the crab ragoons and the egg rolls (no fried rice.) It took 30 minutes for those two egg rolls and crab ragoons to get to our house, and they were mediocre at best. Probably won't order from here again. Giving them two stars for the orange chicken which is decent.

I yu's-ed to go here when it was Beijing. The food is still as quality as when they were the larger sit down restaurant, it's just a cozier, more humble setting now. The customer service is always fast, friendly, and on spot. It's a sort of taste yu expect from Chinese food; yummy, & filling. Think 5 star chef in a humble location. Their prices are extremely reasonable, and I'd encourage yu to try their dinner & lunch specials. When I tried their competitor across the street one day (by mistake,) I wasn't nearly as impressed with their taste as I was with Yu's. I also prefer yu's ambience, which feels more like an authentic urban Chinese restaurant, than their competitor across the street (which feels Americanized, and lacking in authenticity & quality ingredients.)

Yu might really enjoy trying this little place! And when yu least expect it, a carry out working dinner can prove to be a diamond in the ruff. I'm new to Yu, but my friend enthusiastically recommended Yu; so no problem. What was also great is that Yu will deliver to yu. Very helpful. What was also very helpful? The extensive menu options. I was particularly impressed with the vegetarian options, as well as a ton of choices that were gluten free, sugar free, msg free; free, free, free. My colleague and I decided to share an appetizer and get separate dinner entrees. He said, 'yu have to try this'. Well, okay, fine. The appetizer in question: the spicy, crunchy baked tofu, accompanied with a great sauce. He chose the Pad Thai for dinner; I picked the garlic Chinese eggplant with brown rice. Our order from Yu was not only prompt, but hot (temperature and taste). I really loved the appetizer; the tofu was really fresh and my eggplant dish was delicious; came with tons of veggies, scallions, and extra garlic sauce which I'm sure my friend wished Yu had lost on the way over. His Pad Thai looked wonderful, smelled great too. Yu sure didn't skimp on the veggies and chicken or even the peanuts, for that matter. The prices were fairly reasonable. The dinners ranged from 12 dollars on up, and the servings leave plenty for a second dinner. I'm pleased we tried Yu. I recall that where Yu is, it used to not be Yu, but something other than Yu. I'm sure I will try Yu again, at some point. Great meal! Thanks Yu!

A very simple Chinese restaurant. The food was very good. We had five different dishes. The sauces were tasty, meat was moist but not greasy, and the vegetables were fresh. The dining area is very simple but extremely clean. The help is friendly and makes it very obvious they like to serve their customers.

It's hard to screw up chicken fried rice but somehow they managed to do that. I have tried this place three times and every time I kick myself. I am definitely "breaking up" with Yu's. It's time for me to move on to another crab Rangoon.

We were having a hard time finding a Chinese restaurant in our area that we really liked until we found this place. Great service, great food, great prices! I can't say enough about it and how much we liked it.

We placed an online order from Yu's Garden on a Saturday evening. After waiting a long while for our food to arrive, we received a call from the restaurant saying that our order had been sitting unnoticed on the printer for an hour because the restaurant was very busy and that, in the future, if it is a busy time I should call to place the order rather than ordering online. I'm curious how someone placing an online order would know how busy the restaurant is at any given time. Also, if the restaurant is going offer customers the ability to order online, it should be able to fulfill the order in a timely manner. We always received excellent turnaround on orders under prior management when the restaurant was Beijing Dynasty.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
