My wife and I recommended Yu Seafood to our family for dinner. Boy was it a letdown, and embarassing. We were a table for 6. Service was great as our server was very lively and had a great sense of humour. Food on the other hand was a let down.
We ordered the Lobster & Dungeness Crab combo.
1. Premium Shark Fin Soup with Lobster - Half the table found it too salty and rinsed their palette with either beer or water.
2. Stir Fried Lobster with Garlic - It was actually two lobsters that added up to 8lbs. But one of the lobster was obviously not fresh. As the meat was not plump and juicy. It was dry and glued to the shell.
3. Stir Fried Dungeness Crab - Exactly the same as the lobster. Two crabs that added up to 5lbs. One was clearly not fresh (probably dead). Meat was dried up and stuck to the shell. It was like a 50/50 draw, not knowing if you chose a dead or fresh crab to your plate. Very disappointing. No one at the table actually wanted to finish the crab.
4. Deep Fried Lionfish - Another dish that was an utter disappointment. Meat was not juicy at all. It was a bit rough and dry. Deep frying it didn't make it any better.
Everything else on the menu was good - steamed eel, oyster, pea sprout braised in broth, shark fin with rice, and dessert.
But when we ordered this combo, we expected the stars of the combo, namely lobster and dungeness crab, to shine. Neither one shone.
Not sure if they changed owners. Or if there's a new chef in town. But for the price we paid that night, there are about 3-4 other options in the area. Family won't be coming back again.
