Yu's Chinese Cuisine — Restaurant in Mankato

So this Chinese restaurant is a little different because their menu is split up in to different sections "Chinese food" and "American Chinese food" things like sesame chicken and beef and broccoli are under the American Chinese section and well it's not anything special.

The Chong Qing Spicy chicken ( recommended by the gentleman behind the counter), had an odd flavor and what tasted like burnt chicken. The hallway to the restroom was completely dark, as was the restroom until I located the light switch after considerable effort.
