Yu's Kitchen — Restaurant in Tecumseh

In response to the owner’s question: I don’t remember the exact date, but I decided to give this place a second chance. Unfortunately, it was another disappointment. The General Tso’s chicken was a total letdown. The batter, or rather what was supposed to be the batter, was bland and not at all crispy—but that wasn’t even the biggest problem. The chicken itself was the worst part; I haven’t had such rubbery and overcooked chicken in a long time. The sauce was mediocre. That’s why I’m changing my rating from 2/5 to 1/5, as the portion sizes also don’t justify the price or quality. Sadly, I cannot recommend this place.

Original review:

I honestly don’t understand where the 4.5-star rating comes from. The food was very underwhelming. The noodles were seriously undercooked — not in an “al dente” way, but as if parts of them never even touched boiling water. The chicken was bland and lacked any depth of flavor, served in a sauce that tasted more like starchy water than anything else. On the bright side, the broccoli was cooked perfectly — tender with just the right bite. Unfortunately, that was the only highlight in what was otherwise a disappointing meal. I wouldn’t rush to come back.

Owner’s reply: Yu’s Kitchen (Owner): We’re pretty surprised too! Do you remember what day...

My husband has ordered S&S chicken twice now and both times he got a lot of green pepper and onions but both times the chicken was very stringy and some pieces couldn't even be cut with a steak knife. The S&S sauce tasted very watered done and thickened with little taste and chop suey was pretty tasteless too, just a little bit of brown water in the bottom, no gravy or sauce coating the besnsprouts. I can almost eat plain beansprouts because I love them but chop suey needs flavour. S&S chicken is the only thing my husbands ever...

Pros.

Where do I start!

Chicken balls... Amazing Chicken fried rice... Amazing Chicken chop suey... Amazing Chicken Sue Guy.... The chicken part. Pretty good. Egg rolls.. yum! Wonton soup. Honestly one of the best I have had in a long time. Lucy's noodles. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Cons.

The gravy was a solid mass of wiggly jello. Once it was heated it became more jelloiee.

The best Chinese place in Tecumseh. It's like the old Fongs, reincarnated. If you are truly looking for good Canadian Chinese...
