| - It is sad to see what was once Louis Tambellini's magnificent, enormous restaurant now as a Chinese buffet, but time marches on.
The restaurant remains attractive and comfortable, room after room of tables.
I do not see any evidence that there is a manager or owner that a customer could ever get to know as the place is rather impersonal. One server of mine was sullen; one was pleasant.
There is a tremendous selection of items, including sushi, hibachi, appetizers, salads, soups, entrees, good fried mushrooms and zucchini, fresh strawberries and pineapple. The fresh fruit was a nice treat, but not as sweet or tasty as that which is served at similar restaurants. I was afraid to try the "Italian meat ball" at a Chinese restaurant!
There is a sign addressing our "value customer": I suppose you could call us that!
It was disappointing that the only tofu was a container of small pieces of it to be added to soup. The mixed vegetable dish contained no tofu.
The price of $8.99 for Saturday is quite reasonable, but not by comparison with Grand China in Bridgeville and Washington, Pennsylvania, which is $6.99, sometimes less with discount coupons that are received by mail. Grand China offers the same types of dishes and stations that Yu's does and I like its food better.
There is something for everyone here, but I would not go out of the way to return.
