Youyo Noodle Bar, tucked inside the Hard Rock Cafe, is a convenient stop for a quick Asian-inspired meal, especially if you’re already in the area and don’t want to commit to a full sit-down restaurant. The biggest advantage here is speed. Ordering is straightforward, food comes out fast, and it’s easy to grab a meal without disrupting your plans. For travelers, shoppers, or anyone short on time, that level of efficiency is a real plus.
The menu offers a mix of familiar noodle bowls, rice dishes, and appetizers. Several of the main dishes were solid and well-executed, with good portion sizes and flavors that hit the mark for a casual meal. When Youyo gets it right, it’s satisfying and convenient comfort food that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
That said, pricing is inconsistent. Some items feel noticeably overpriced for what you get, particularly the two-piece spring roll appetizer, which was disappointing in both value and substance. For the cost, the portion size simply didn’t justify the price, making it an easy skip. Overall, Youyo Noodle Bar works best if you choose carefully: stick to the stronger main dishes and enjoy the quick service and convenience, but be selective with appetizers to avoid paying more than the experience is worth.

The food wasn’t as expected. That’s is probably why they have such a low rating. Authentic Asian food would have made me much happier. I don’t even like gambling. I came for the food and me and my friends were not Impressed. The steamed dumbling looked liked they were microwaved.. very upsetting.

I’m giving 3 stars because of the customer service. It was pretty good, I cannot deny that, however, the food was not amazing for me. I order the shrimp fried rice and the rice was not fried. The taste was just ok. If I have to add soy sauce and hoisin sauce with every bite I would prefer to go somewhere else. I also ordered the pork dumplings, which I did not like. I mentioned it to the waitress in hopes she would offer another option, however, she did not. I will not return.

I had Lo Mein with shrimp. The food came all burning hot, which is great. The only thing is that I would want to have more shrimp in that food. It was only a few very small ones. They only have pork dumplings, so I suggest adding other options. I paid around $20 with a tip. It’s an open kitchen, and it was spotlessly clean.

The atmosphere was great from all of the loud sounds coming from the slots and the people talking. I enjoyed being able to sit down and eat a delicious meal at 1am. It reminded me of Las Vegas nights. The food was good but the service wasn’t the best. The food is overly priced, and the portions for apps are ridiculous if I might add. I like the open kitchen concept as well.

I had high hopes for this spot and was truly let down.
They are not friendly at all. We ordered two apps and Sake.
WHO serves Sake in a wine glass????
The food was very flavorless and plain. MY friend got really sick from eating the pork dumplings.
Since they basically kicked us out after saying we just wanted apps, I mean hello, if the apps were tasteless, why would we waste more money on an entrée. Anyways the minute we said no entrée, she brought over the check. They acted like we were taking up a spot for waiting customers. There was NOBODY in line. Unlike the other restaurants. SO excuse me but that was rude.
We didn’t even finish the Sake and left, especially after that treatment. I shouldn’t have even left a tip.
DO not waste your time or $$$ here. Unless if you wanna be treated poorly and eat flavorless food and a chance of getting sick from it.

GROSS! Do not eat here!!! Always wanted to try this place since Hard Rock opened. We took one look at our plates, check please! We actually paid the $32 for 2 dinners we left sitting on the table the same way they brought them. I’ve never seen a boiled, bone-in, jaundice yellow skinned chicken served on a plate. I don’t think that chicken was happy about it either.

The food was excellent, but the waitress approached us after we paid the bill and left a tip, inquiring about additional compensation for her services. Notably, our total bill was $83, and we provided $90, which included a generous gratuity for a table of two. This interaction unfortunately marred the evening. I did report the incident to the front desk staff, but I remain somewhat frustrated.

Beef stew was terrible, no meat, just fat and tendons. Butter chicken very spicy, impossible to eat, chicken tikka was so dry , tasted like cardboard. The manager never came to explain the situation. Don’t waste you money, strongly don’t recommend.

Can’t give it a 1* because the host was nice and the rangoons appetizer was decent after you cut off the excessive breading. Duck was incredibly dry, and yes I know it’s smoked but a very fatty bird and shouldn’t be dry. Shrimp Pad Thai was horrible. No flavor at all, in the noodles or the shrimp which is hard to do. Disappointing.
