Had a bad encounter about how much I should’ve tipped, no one seated me and when it was my turn while standing in line to order, the old lady almost served someone else who came after me first just because they claimed they did.. also had to go up to the counter to pay, that being said i think it’s reasonable to not tip that much considering how little service was provided. After I paid for my bill at the counter with cash and was given the change, the old lady saw I stepped left(to leave room for the next in line to check out) to put those one dollar bills in my wallet, then she asked for mandatory tips, which was something I was about to do since I intended to give them all the coins I had, in front of another customer..
After reading the reviews apparently they’ve been like this for nearly a decade now. Not sure why they’d think asking for $1 or 2 more on tips would be a better practice than just letting it go and having a repeat customer who will bring them more than $2 in profits in the future.
Also food was always cold when served dine-in

Went here for dinner and decided to do takeout. Ordered the dinner special which mentioned $9.99 for two items with rice, but for to-go they offered three dishes — nice surprise! Got the basil chicken, eggplant, and tofu, plus an order of chicken noodles. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. There are a few tables if you prefer to dine in. Located in a plaza with plenty of free parking and other food spots around. Great option for a casual, tasty meal. 80 cents extra for credit card usage.

I like that they have a variety of entree options here. It doesn’t matter if I am on vegetarian diet or not, they have something tasty for me. Sister Yu and her staff are super friendly. Highly recommend this place. 🩷

When we moved from NorCal we were bummed there were no good 稀飯 places nearby. Then this place and it became an instant favorite. The staff gives the best service, the food is great, AND it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg like most things in Irvine!!!

I've been getting their 3-dish lunch special for years. Even though the lunchbox size has shrunk but it's still a great value. However my most recent experience caused me to question their food refrigeration practice. I bought 3 cold dishes and 2 were spoiled. So be aware of those cold dishes. Better to choose freshly cooked hot dishes. The place is always crowded and people waiting in line to get lunch takeout during lunch hours.

Absolutely love Yu’s Garden!
I don’t live nearby, but I’ve visited many times — it’s that good. The food is always delicious, full of flavor, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Every time I come in, the staff are warm, genuine, and truly welcoming. once I come by for pickup, they show so much affection toward my dogs Great food can bring people in once, but it’s kindness and sincerity like this that keep people coming back.
Highly recommend!

I've been here a few times before, and the price was very reasonable, about a dozen dollars (three dishes to choose from), but this time I had dinner, four dishes including a porridge, and the cashier charged me $23. I gave a tip, and it was twice as expensive as before. I'm not sure if I was overcharged. The price is more expensive than before , Compare Prices, There are many places better than this
