Yuan Japanese Asian Restaurant

Seated immediately upon entering and asked what we were drinking. There was no one else seated in the place which I found odd being that it’s a Thursday evening at 6pm. Got our drinks within mins and then the waitress was off giggling on her cell phone. Eventually she took our order. A container of fried noodles was placed on the table with duck sauce which is complimentary. I’ve had fried noodles before so I know what they “should” taste like. These were stale as if they sat around for a few days in an open container. Not good. Pushed them aside. I didn’t want to say anything to the waitress regarding the noodles being stale until our food was in front of us. Our order is eventually taken and the food was done and on our table within 10 mins of ordering. We ordered 2 chef specials and 1 À la carte. Upon trying the chicken with mixed vegetables, there was no taste/bland and the little bit of veggies I did receive were more mushy than Al Dante. The white rice that came with the meal was actually good. The 2nd order was sesame chicken. I immediately can tell that’s it is way overcooked/hard just by looking at it. I tried it and yep hard as can be. This also had a very sweet taste. I found this to be unusual because sesame chicken is not sweet. General Tso is sweet to taste. Rice with this meal was good. We ordered a side of house lo mein which was actually the hit of the meals. Served pipping hot and good tasting with beef, shrimp, chicken and some veggies. Maybe there was two different chefs cooking the meals tonight? How can two meals be cooked badly and one be very good. I don’t know if the service we received this evening was a fluke because prior visits were pleasing. I do hope for their survival, they straighten out whatever the issue was tonight as this was once a very good place to eat at. Unfortunately, we will not be returning to Yuans.

Tried this restaurant out..first impression was the smell..it did not smell great. Not the 1st place I've been to on this street that has an odor. I was going to leave and head to plum blossom (a must try if you havent already) until they came out with crispy noodles..I was stuck, i love crispy noodles. I stay and ordered. The service was great the dining area was very clean and I must say the food was pretty good. I have the general toas shrimp bento box and Kani salad. Very good

I really have nothing negative to say about this place. Our sushi was decent and the service was good. There was just no wow factor here. Three of us shared the Love boat ,pictured.
