The Youyu servers and the restaurant were amazing! I ordered the chicken lo mein, and it was a delicious entree. The chicken was moist and tender, and the noodles were beautifully sauced with crispy onions and green and red peppers. No additional sauce was needed for the entree. The chicken satay was grilled to perfection and accompanied by a tasty peanut sauce. The shrimp springs were crispy and served with a sweet and sour sauce.

Beautiful ambience. Despite some challenges, I was satisfied with the overall experience.
The prices are fair for the casino. We went late at night when it was not busy. Drinks were available in cans – to be poured in glasses with ice. We saw many things that looked interesting and new on the menu. I ordered the most expensive rice bowl, an Indonesian entree, called beef rendang. It is a spicy, rich, and creamy Indonesian/Malaysian beef stew made with beef, spices, and coconut milk. What I received looked appealing except it was very dry and lacked the spicy coconut milk sauce on it. I immediately asked the server about it and she brought it back to the chef. The manager immediately came over and rectified the situation. I ordered the entree of curry noodles. It was spicy & good yet it was not what I really wanted at that time. When it came to pay the bill, we noticed they had comped my meal and taken off the beef rendang. My husband said his fried shrimp with rice was so so. I bumped my rating to 4 stars since the service was excellent towards us despite the problem we encountered and my dinner was satisfactory in the end.

I really want to like this option at the casino. The dumplings were fantastic and the spring rolls were crispy and packed with shrimp. However, our main entrees were under-seasoned and dry. Not pictured was the pistachio and chocolate ice cream with an almond cookie. The dessert was bland and underwhelming. The noodle bar is still new and perhaps working out the recipes. We will return to try other entree options.

My wife and I visited YouYu for the first time for a meal on our first anniversary and everything was exceptional. Our server Carson and the manager that visited our table Eric were both incredibly polite and friendly and made sure we never wanted for anything.
Our appetizers the crispy shrimp spring rolls were delicious and every bite was packed full of shrimp. The Mongolian beef was tender, sauced well and full of flavor. The Hong Kong style Won Ton soup was savory and complimented the other entree quite well. Carson also recommended the strawberry Yuzu dessert and my wife as an avid strawberry fan absolutely loved it. Thanks for the amazing service and delicious meal, we’ll definitely be visiting again.

Service was great here very friendly staff, was very much on top of it when it came to making sure you had a great dining experience. Food was delicious and filling. The chicken lo mein, and chicken fried rice where both delicious and full of flavor. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants great food and to relax for a moment.

We were in the mood for some Asian food but it was a little later on a Saturday so we thought we would try this place out.
Started with some soup dumplings. Dumplings were small, with very little broth inside them. You could not taste the pork at all, just an overpower amount of spices.
We then ordered some orange chicken and Mongolian beef. Never been here before, so wanted to keep it simple.
Orange chicken was bitter. Not the sweet and spicy you expect. It tasted like they had zested and peeled an orange and cooked it with nothing buy soy sauce and the peel that should have been placed in the trash. There was no orange flavor. There was no heat at all to the dish, like there was no chili flake used at all to try and give it that little hint of heat you expect from it.
The Mongolian beef……burnt. There were spots of charcoal black all over the beef. We are not talking like some edges that were black, we are talking burned like they had just left it setting in the bottom of the wok and forgot about it. If there was any other flavor in this dish you wouldn’t know, because all you could taste was burned.
White rice. Can’t get this wrong you would think. Turns out you can. Their recipe? Water and rice. No salt, no aromatics, nothing. And I love plain white rice with my food, but when I’m spending around $35 each for some basic Chinese food I would hope you would at least put some freaking salt into the rice cooker. Maybe even use chicken stock instead of water.
We took maybe 1 or 2 bites of each and could just not finish it. Honestly would have better food from Panda Express and cost less than half that. I don’t say this as if Panda Express is some bastion of fine dining, quite the opposite. It is the base line. As in, if you can’t make basic Chinese American food AT LEAST as good as Panda Express, then close the doors. Especially at the prices you are charging.
To make matters worse you are getting bombarded by the loud and annoying music from the casino floor. I don’t hold this against them, but it did not make the experience any better.
Made our opinions known about the food to the manager who could tell we were not happy with what we were served as we were not touching the food after 1 or 2 bites. Don’t bother asking me what is wrong with my food if you do not intend to fix the problem.
Asked for my ticket, paid and tipped. Won’t be back.

Definitely do not recommend. There was plastic in my lo mein, it was gummy. The rice was more peas than rice. The pot stickers were not flavorful AT all the spring rolls were the only worth buying. But you would be better off going to Publix and getting spring rolls from the freezer.. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!!!

10 dollars for some tasty but itty bitty spring rolls… Orange chicken was really good but the prices are too high. Also not telling us the water was 4 dollars a bottle was insane. I have never paid for water in a restaurant that already charged exorbitant prices. Like I said, good orange chicken, but we won’t be back. 🙁

Do not go. Just a bad idea for chinese/ indian food. Bad menu, bad recipes, bad cooks. Second time here. First 3 items I ordered were not available. Exactly like the first time. Lo Main had too much sauce and too sweet. Never had it like that before. Butter chicken had the sauce from the jar and chicken was nasty. Uncooked, cold, with fat and skin.

Been here to dine several times and love the atmosphere, service, and food. Shrimp rolls are so light and crispy full of shrimp. I love the Vietnamese Pho and Orange Chicken. Andrea, Amanda, and Anna are wonderful servers with upbeat personalities and on point in their caretaking abilities. They easily answer any questions you might have, and always wish to make each visit a delightful one. The chef’s are always doing well to push out food that is filling and taste worthy. This restaurant adds a little bit more to the Hard Rock atmosphere and gives a bit of Asian flare.
