Came to Yu-Yu for a get together dinner with the LV Yelp family... In our group, there were 11 of us, but the resto could easily accommodate a group of 20 max.
FOOD: Panko-breaded skewers... Shiitake mushrooms, King Oyster mushroom, Curry beef tongue, Tiger shrimp, Squid, Bacon-wrapped mochi, Quail egg, Zucchini, Potato Yam, Asparagus, Broccoli, Okra, Gingko nuts.
TASTE: *** [Wasn't too impressed... Every skewer practically looks the same... and after a while, everything started to taste the same. Guess I was most impressed with the Shiitake skewers... guess that ain't sayin' much. The bacon-wrapped mochi didn't seem very "bacon" at all. I had to ask if there was any bacon in it, they said just a hint. :-| I also enjoyed the complimentary curry salt, chili powder, & raw cabbage palate cleanser. The daikon ponzu sauce was okay, I preferred the House sauce best.
DRINKS: Currently working on alcohol license.
CONVENIENCE: **** [Located in the Chinatown plaza, ample parking.]
AMBIANCE: **** [Well ventilated, enjoyed the memory foam seating, resto accommodates large groups.]
SERVICE: *** [Friendly, decent service... no problems splitting check among group.]
PRICE: $$ [Skewers range from $1-3 each, can easily add up.]
OVERALL: ***/* [3.5 stars... they offer a wide variety to choose from, but after a while of consuming the panko breaded skewers, it really started to taste the same. Not too impressed, but at least good for groups.]
Nuff said.
