What made the experience even worse was the staff. The service was rude and dismissive from the moment we arrived. Simple questions were met with attitude, and when concerns about the food were brought up, they were brushed off instead of addressed. No effort was made to make things right or even acknowledge the problem, which is unacceptable in any restaurant.
Dining out is supposed to be enjoyable, but this place managed to miss the mark on both food and service. There are plenty of restaurants that value their customers and take pride in what they serve — unfortunately, this is not one of them. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience.
Where do I begin? There are so many delicious options. I love their tofu options, their eggplant, their cold sides. You also get to choose from a side of rice or porridge – ALWAYS GET THE PORRIDGE. It’s so homey, and even more perfect especially if you’re feeling under the weather.
Need I also say that you won’t find a better deal for a three-item combo – only $12! If you live in Irvine and haven’t been yet, I highly encourage you to stop by and give them your business!
When we got there around 9 most of the hot dishes were out already so only cold dishes left. I love their sweet potato porridge which is thick hot and creamy with soft grains of rice and chunks of soft orange sweet potato. I could eat this plain happily but it also serves as an excellent base for the side dishes. My favorite side dish was the scallion chicken served cold. The pig ear was good too with spicy chili oil. They also had honeycomb tripe but we didn’t get that. They were out of the bok choy so they let me combine it with the leftover dredges of spinach. Lions head meatball and bamboo shoots were not great, overly sweet with thick oily sauce. The cold smoked chicken also wasn’t my favorite as the meat was mushy. Overall love the concept and ability to try many different things in their food bar. Just need to come earlier for more options.
这是我最爱的饭馆。Dunno why it gets so much hate on google maps. The prices are great, the people help me practice Chinese. The staff know what gluten is. It’s great.
Yu’s Garden is one of my favorite Taiwanese restaurants for takeout during lunchtime. Their combo boxes, priced around $13, offer three delicious items that my family loves.
Our top picks are the beef tripe (牛肚), beef shank (牛腱), and pig ears (豬耳朵). Sometimes, the three-cup chicken (三杯雞) is not as tender as I’d like, but it’s worth a try. Other great options include scallion oil chicken (蔥花雞), eggplant (茄子), and braised bamboo shoots (油燜筍). Paying with a credit card adds just 80 cents to the total.
The only downside is the poorly planned ordering line, where customers move back and forth before paying at the front, causing some congestion. The payment counter can be moved to the back, like Panda Express ordering line, because the staff can easily get items from the kitchen.
Despite this, the food quality and value make it a great choice for lunch.
