We went for New York for a long weekend and wanted to have a nice dinner on Saturday. When we passed Chef Yu (corner of 8th Ave and 36street), it looked appealing. Very cosy, which is quite hard to find in New York, unless you want to spend big bucks. And guess what? The food was GREAT and the prices very modest. As a starter we had Shrimp Dumplings: 8 dumplings for the price of only $5.99 and springrolls around $2. The portion of the springrolls was very small, but then again, so was the price. The dumplings were really very tasty. For main course we had Prawns with mango ($13.25) and Prawns with vegetables ($11.95). And it was full of prawn: 9 in each dish! Top that of with a nice Pinot Grigio of only $7 and a coke of $1.60. and we had a complete meal for a mere $45 dollars and it was very very nice. So I recommend going to Chef Yu if you like good chinese food for affordable prices in a cosy atmosphere.
Pros: Great food, nice portions, cosy ambience

I've been staying in NYC for a few weeks and Chef Yu is the only decent Chinese restaurant within walking distance from where I was staying. Luckily the food is pretty good. I ate there 3 times in 2 weeks. Decent service. Good Chinese food. I'd definitely recommend this place to people.

I ordered the chicken with eggplant and received a flavorless glob of mushy eggplant swimming in a pool of grease. The chicken had some flavor but was also drenched in the grease. I estimate that the plate contained about 1/2 cup of pure oil. My dinner partner ordered a beef dish that was slightly less greasy. If you are planning for a heart-attack, this is the restaurant to help you get there.
Pros: Good atmosphere
Cons: the food

The ambience is great; the food pretty good; the wait staff fantastic. I was truly surprized with find this on 8th Av. When I return to the city I'll dine there again with my friends. Another thing the drinks were pretty cheap because of the hour I had dinner.

Came here for dinner with a friend and was not too impressed with the food and more surprised at their prices. Descent place but would rather take train to Chinatown and get some authentic chinese.
Pros: Nice looking place
Cons: Food not impressed
