Young's Gourmet — Restaurant in Duarte

This place is super clean! Not that feeling of greasy oil over coating the entire restaurant. The tables were very very clean! And hand sanitizer everywhere!

We've been here many times over past two years most excellent service!

We ordered

MSG warning. I did not feel it then but about half hour after I started to get an MSG headache. I do have sensitivity—I should have asked but forgot bc many places I have eaten recently do not use.

Chef special Walnut chicken. Superb 5/5 The batter coating was light. No oily greasy feeling or oil absorbed into batter. The honey mayo dressing was also perfect light

Mongolian beef. My husband gave it 4, me 3 stars. Because it was not really Mongolian beef. The correct name would be black pepper beef. It did not taste like Mongolian beef

Kung pao chicken 3 stars was not as good. It was passable. The chicken seemed like it was lightly coated in cornstarch then fried. But it was fried a bit too long bc chi he was very dry. Also the sauce was not great. Tasted also a bit in the burnt side. I like smoky but burnt not great. See pic. I like tre chicken more lightly cooked so it’s still a bit soft and juicy. Sauce also too burnt

We had ordered sesame chicken on a bed orange slices do taste s little like orange chicken. Delicious 4.5/5 stars

Rice better this...

I'd read all the 5 star reviews and decided to give Young's Gourmet a try. We ordered Flaming Pu Pu platter, Rainbow Chicken and House Special Chow Mein. The food smelled amazing in the car on the ride home. Once we got home and began to eat said food, it was a totally different story. Seriously, the worst Chinese food I have ever experienced!!! Most of the items in the Pu Pu Platter were just not palatable. The "meat" on a skewer was tough or overcooked/burnt or both- did not even remotely taste like beef to me. Fried shrimp and egg rolls had very minimal flavor. BBQ spareribs were burnt and dried out. Chow Mein had little to no flavor- very bland. Not sure if we actually got Rainbow chicken but whatever it was it had very little taste except white pepper. We ended up tossing most of it because it was that bad. $42 was a high price to pay but , lesson learned, won't be back. Really disappointed. Alot of folks seem to enjoy their food but I can't honestly say we...

My husband and I have been here multiple times because service is great and the food is always good. We went in on Valentine's Day in the evening. The place was not packed and we were seated right away. We ordered tea and it was served right away. Right after that we ordered our meals. Three separate couples walked in about 20 minutes after we did. They were seated right away and they were served their meals before my husband and I were even though we got there first. There were plenty of open tables and they were fully staffed. It didn't sit well with us that no one bothered to ask us if we needed anything. My husband and I walked out and will most likely not be...
