Very disappointing . From the wine , appetizers and the one main course my wife ordered we did not enjoy anything. Combinations of flavors just did not work for us. The duck meatballs were uneatable, dry with no flavor. We have dinned at an Italian Asian restaurant in Wayne in (Blue Elephant) which was very good. DaVinci & Yu needs a lot of work in my opinion, would avoid.

Out to dinner with 5 friends - ordered all different dishes on the menu so we could try a variety of things. We shared everything. The flavors, the textures, the presentation - all were amazing. Each dish had distinctly unique and delicious tastes. The cod dumplings were tender and delicious, the bao buns were flavorful and tasty, the orange chicken parm - cooked perfectly with that hint of orange that made it tingle (in a good way) on your tongue. The brisket was simply amazing - falls apart on the fork and is the tastiest brisket I've ever had in my life. Each dish brought out different flavors and textures and were all delicious. 5 out of 5 for sure! Oh - and the server was astute, delightful, helpful, present and available when desired and responsive!!!

Sushi was awesome! Wasabi sauce should be on all sushi. The orange cosmo was perfect with a bonus of tasty lime foam on top. Eggplant flat bread was crispy tasty and a great mix of flavor. Brisket was very tender and a lot! Definitely going back.

Quite possibly the worst meal I've ever had. I knew the concept was different, but hoped it would work. It doesn't.

I wanted to really love DaVinci & Yu, especially since my husband and I loved flannel. My husband and I were very disappointed in everything we ordered. I also didn't care for their cocktails.

The service was great and unfortunately the only memorable part of the restaurant. The idea of the fusion restaurant was great but execution was a bit lacking. We thought it was a bit odd our drinks were served out of plastic drinkware and it wasn't packed on a Friday night during peak dinner time. On paper the food sounded intriguing, but there wasn't anything we ate that seemed in line with the price paid. We expected the dishes to be more elevated. The orange chicken parm is a regular chicken parm dish with orange peel garnish and boxed pasta.

The Food did not disappoint! We tried a few dishes like the Black Cod Dumplings, Cacio E Pepe E Miso, Korean BBQ brisket, Ball Bao, and the Lamb Neck. Huge thanks to the kitchen staff—clearly some serious talent back there turning out amazing dishes. And shoutout to our server Louis, who was basically a menu wizard and helped us make all the right picks. First time here, but definitely not the last!

went to Davinci and Yu on a Sunday night after seeing a piece on the restaurant on "FYI Philly"...the food was incredible (and the pricing was reasonable!). Waitress was very helpful and attentive. we will be back

Food was ok. Asian with Italian fusion doesn't seem to work in harmony with the entrees that we got. The brisket was average and the duck meatballs were tasty. The appetizers were better. Black cod dumplings were excellent. The service was outstanding. Our server was accommodating and patient. We were all impressed with the attention and detail. We will try the brunch and excited for the chicken and waffles. See you soon.

This was an unforgettable meal! Every dish was a 10! Friendly service, incredible fusion foods, and even had a great conversation with the owner. Would recommend to anyone!!
Lovely gem of a restaurant! Cool decor. Our server Jamie was fabulous. I felt like I was with my best friend. Food was good, needs a little refining to drive the Italian/Asian theme home. For example, the cannoli was not well executed. Perhaps a ginger filling? Just a thought. Loved the ube espresso martini!

Great new restaurant! Service was courteous and quick. They have an ube espresso martini that is unique and delicious! The shrimp toast, Kung pao bao buns, cacio e pepe miso, Duck Meatballs over upon noodles, Orange chicken parm and Adobo Stinco are all must orders. The flavors go together so well, what a great concept! I can't wait to go back!

Never been more excited to try and restaurant after seeing it on social media, so I had kinda high expectations and DiVinci & Yu met every single one of those! Everything was incredible, the waitstaff were kind and knowledgeable, and the food was incredible. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. Cannot recommend enough!!!!

It was difficult to decide what to order! The food was all very creative and I'd say the Japanese influence was muted in some dishes (would be okay to be bolder!). Service felt rushed but otherwise a great dinner, would definitely return to try more.

Amazing combinations of flavors. They really have something special here. Also don't sleep in the expresso martinis
