Due to COVID restrictions, we were of course seated at their beautiful outdoor patio. The menu options were great, full menu unlike some restaurants who have cut down the offering. With exception of one item ordered which did not come out right (which by the way they offered to remake or take off the bill without hesitation), the rest of the items ordered were all 5/5 stars, on point with flavors, freshness, colors, and presentation! It definitely was enjoyable. One thing that stood out, the friendliness of the wait staff, 7 stars out of 5 :) a delight!

Overall it was a good visit. The cabbage slaw was fresh and delicious. The eggplant was a bit too sweet. The green beans were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The curry was disappointing and lacked depth of flavor. The two chicken dishes my husband ordered were average, a bit under seasoned. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing. Service was good.

Very elegant decoration and the service was great. Food style is similar to P.F.Chang but with better presentation. The (Hong Kong style) beef chow fun is too oily for my taste. The egg plant dish and the sweet & sour spare rib are nicely made. Be aware that the portion is not as large as typical Chinese restaurant.

I visited this restaurant recently and was impressed with the overall service experience. There was no wait, plenty of seating available, and the staff made me feel welcomed right away. The service was top notch—our server was friendly and attentive, though the check-ins were spaced a bit far apart. I ordered the Pad Thai and the Kung Pao Chicken. While both dishes were decent, I’ve had better versions at other restaurants, so the food didn’t stand out as much as the service did. Overall, a pleasant dining experience, especially if you value a smooth seating process and warm service.

This restaurant is an excellent choice for a date night, offering attentive service and delicious food. My only minor critique is that a few dishes didn't quite hit their full flavor pot

The restaurant overall is gorgoeus and provides plenty of seating, a nice spot for a dinner with family, friends or a companion. The staff is very friendly but had a hard time getting their attention during both lunch and dinner hours. They do have bar seating and I will be returning for their drinks, just might be my favorite spot in Livermore for cocktails. Food was good with large portion sizes-designed for family style eating so come with an appetite. If you're going for lunch I highly recommend the vegetable broth soup, for dinner the crabmeat cheese puffs are very satisfying. However my entrees fell short in comparison with the rest of my experience and it's price point. I still plan to come again!

I have been meaning to write my review of Uncle Yu’s. I have been going to Uncle Yu’s for many years now. I started going to their location that used to be in San Ramon (Now Long gone for many years) Anyway, I have been to the Livermore many times and I’m surprised I haven’t written a review before now. Almost 5 Stars actually but I used to love their Chinese Chicken Salad but something has changed with their dressing. Not as sweet and savory but still good - not great anymore. Their other dishes are really good. We celebrated my birthday recently and had a really good meal with great service. This restaurant does get busy, so make a reservation We started with Chinese Chicken Salad (like I said earlier good not great any longer) Sweet & Sour Pork (Good Flavor & not too saucy), Yu Shang Eggplant (Fantastic Dish) General Tao’s Chicken (really good dish we thought) , and Singapore Noodles (Nice Flavor made with Curry but not overpowering). Nice meal!! Then they surprised me with a Birthday Treat (that was really unexpected) but a nice Sweet Treat to cleanse the palate and end our meal. I recommend going here if you are in the area.

Delicious and well-made Dim Sum, especially the shrimp dumplings and the lobster dumplings. Beautiful and tastefully designed interior with white tablecloths for lunch service. Spacious interior dining with COVID safeguards. Ample outdoor seating is available. A bit pricey but it's fine dining at an upscale Chinese restaurant with a full bar. Definitely, a place to return for those special occasions. Professional, friendly, and attentive staff.

Upscale, quality delicious Chinese food in an elegant setting. Delicious food and friendly staff. Menu had a wide variety of authentic Chinese dishes. Hot and Sour soup was proper Chinese style with apt amount of spices. Salmon Spring Rolls are a must try in appetizers. Other appetizers we tried were Crab Meat Cheese Puffs and Pot Stickers. Best thing here is any menu item can be customized by removing or adding any meat, just mention that to waiter while ordering. We also ordered Crab Fried Rice, Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian lamb, Chicken chow-mein and some chef special spicy chicken. We did not find any dish spicy even though it was mentioned spicy. I have to specially mention about the deserts. We ordered Exotic Bomba, Pistachio Ricotta Cake, Hazelnut Torta. They not only looked delicious but also tasted great. Plenty of parking is available behind the restaurant from where there will be enough walk. Definitely recommended if you are into pure Chinese delicacies.

Very good Chinese food. I feel like trying a new Chinese restaurant is more risky than most other types but Uncle Yu's did not disappoint. The food was very good, a little pricey. We had Crab Meat Cheese Puffs, Lotus Chicken, General Tso's Chicken and Stirfried Garlic Noodles. All of it was good. I really liked the lettuce wraps and the garlic noodles went really well with the general tso's chicken. The service was not great though. I know it was Saturday night, but we had a reservation and still waited 40 minutes for a table. At one point they told us the party leaving our table already paid the check but hadn't left yet. Took another 20 min after that. The hostess apologized and offered a free appetizer for our trouble. That did help, but then the server didn't seem to have been told, she looked surprised when we mentioned it. After taking our order, we never really saw the server again. We saw her walk past a few times talking to other tables, but the only people who ever checked on us seemed to be passing bus boys. My recommendation: get it to go. Good food without the hassle of poor service.

Interesting place: Chinese food (do not expect it authentic), wine tasting, western-style decoration, use Korean-style chopsticks. Food was either under seasoning or over seasoning; I did not have any favorite here. The service was a charm. Look fancy for a date but not practical for foodies like me huhu 🥲🥲🥲
