Yu's Mandarin (Vernon Hills)

Our first time at Yu’s even though we’ve lived here over 20 years. Seemed pricey but this was a special occasion to support a friend. We’d say it was alright. Not bad but not great. Some things were really good. The honey walnut shrimp was outstanding, as were the scallops. My lemon chicken was plentiful and looked promising, but was disappointingly not sweet enough and not super lemony. The rice was nothing special. Service was also just so so. My lemon chicken was served a full 10 minutes before any of the other dishes and last dish was 5 minutes behind the others. We had no robots, just human servers. So not sure what that talk is about. The revolving table is interesting and the decor gives it a great Mandarin atmosphere. I was joking on the way in their slogan should be Yu’s got it ( like the digital tv station jingle). But I’m not sure they do.

We ordered last night for my daughter 's birthday. The food was awful. Dry, soup was oiley.. The beef sticks had barely any meat on them, and it was way to dry to eat. We will never order again. Nasty food.

This is the second time at this restaurant. The first time was a year ago and the food was good. This time, however, is terrible. We ordered a few dishes to share such as Orange Beef, Walnut Shrimp, and noodles. The Orange Beef is terrible, cold with no flavor at all. Do not order this dish at $19.95. They didn't have white rice at the time, so the waitress brought out some fried rice. We were happy to see that but the fried rice was not even cooked, cold with a few peas on it. Terrible!! Why did they even serve that to us. We're Asians and we know what's good and bad. Can't fool us with half cooked so called fried rice. They really need to think about that. Overall, it was not good. Find another restaurant in the area. Really hate to say that.

It’s finally open under new management! The remodeling gives out a new vibe of peace and harmony. It’s a little confusing at first trying to call the restaurant since the number has been changed and Google hasn’t updated yet. I added a screenshot of their new phone number from their takeout menu. Hope that helps whoever in the same process. Food: as delicious as the other two locations. Dinner portion was good for the price. We had honey glazed walnut shrimp, shredded pork with green chives&bean curd, and fish fillet with sour cabbage. Definitely will visit again for some authentic Chinese food.
