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

This is an OG Irvine gem! The first time I came here I was probably 6 years old. Nothing has changed, except that now they accept credit cards (with an 80 cent fee, lol).
Where do I begin? There are so many delicious options. I love their tofu options, their eggplant, their cold sides. You also get to choose from a side of rice or porridge - ALWAYS GET THE PORRIDGE. It’s so homey, and even more perfect especially if you’re feeling under the weather.
Need I also say that you won’t find a better deal for a three-item combo - only $12! If you live in Irvine and haven’t been yet, I highly encourage you to stop by and give them your business!

When the chef stops cooking at night, I suggest you not open the door. When it's dinner time, I suggest you not to order from this restaurant. After all the dishes have been ordered, they will notify you in batches that the dishes are out. Every half an hour, they tell you that one dish is out, and every half hour they call you again to tell you that another dish is out. It took nearly 2 hours for a takeaway to arrive at my doorstep, and I only had a 6-minute drive from this store. Really ridiculous. If there is no food, it is recommended to close the store and not open it.

Authentic traditional Taiwanese food! The food taste like the food in dining hall of high school/college, serving by hospitable aunt.

The most speechless restaurant experience! The child likes to eat one dish and wants to choose that dish for both dishes in the three-course set meal, but he is sternly rejected! Say no! You can’t choose the same dish! Otherwise, how could she sell it if there was some leftover! ? ? What did I hear? ! ! ! Is this just because the business is good, or is he already so confident that he is like this? ! 😓

My wife and I bought 3 orders of meals at/about 11:15 am Friday 2/21/25. The quantities of the three-items of each order were so few comparing with those we bought a few months or years ago. We decided not to visit this place from now on.

Always a loyal fan of Yu’s Garden. We haven’t been here over couples of months. Today went for lunch and surprising the portion was like shrunk 50% in size 😱! We used to have some leftover after dining in as the portion was huge in the old days. Inflation is a Bxxxh! Food still tasty, will keep going for it.
