Mr. You Chinese Food — Restaurant in Montclair

Where to begin, I had high hopes for this place and I might return just for the one item, which I actually found very savory! I went ahead and ordered their two item combo, seemed logical I would need to try two choices of meat to be just and fair, right? Okay, I hate to say this but the fried rice is hardly fried, there’s no bite to the rice, there is a massive lacking of flavor if you ask me, and unfortunately it’s just mushy rice, definitely not for me.

The noodles I wanted to love and I liked them but also hated them, they have bite which I love, but they tasted of fish sauce or cheap oil, they where incredibly oily, like I had “lip gloss” vibes after one bite, so no for me on the noodles sadly.

Let’s talk about the orange chicken shall we?! WHAT chicken?!?! It was mostly clumps of breaded dough smothered in orange syrup, there was no tanginess, just syrup, although it was crispy, that was a hard no for me. Would some actual chicken make it better??? I don’t know, I just think they’re cutting corners and think that people are too dumb to realize that there is hardly chicken in that “orange chicken”, lol. People are so into the sweetness we don’t even notice there is no actual chicken, but to each their own, I prefer some noticeable protein in my orange chicken, sorry I’m passionate, lol. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now I’ve saved the best for last, and I have to say I was surprised! I had the bbq pork, like you can’t mess that up, and to my surprise I was quite pleased with the flavoring! It was fresh and tender, my only problem was how cheap the cut was, she cut a whole 4oz of it and about 40% of it was chewy fat, like ugh.

So in conclusion, this is fast Chinese food friends, it’s not about quality, but about quantity, what do we expect? Anyway, this is my honest review, no hate, I personally miss the old donut shop that use to be here, but if sweet, fatty, overcooked and $12 average price food is what you’re going for, then eat your heart out, I personally can’t bring myself to do it again, maybe the pork, maybe! Lol best to you Mr. You! It’s fairly clean and the customer service is great! And they have diet option drinks, so I give you 3...

I saw some Instagram influencer made reel of this place, and good looked great in those videos. I could not help and wanted to try this place out. I drove 1 hour in traffic, and hoping to get tasty Chinese food.

Parking was easy, and there were plenty of parking spot. There was a line when I went inside the restaurant. I have never seen a Chinese fast food restaurant has a long wait time! I waited for 30 minutes, and ordered an item from the secret menu - Orange chicken fries, and a small container of fried noodles. The food was made fresh, so it was another 15 minutes wait. The restaurant only had 4 tables inside, and 4 tables outside.

I was hungry because of the wait, and when I had my first bite. It was a great disappointment. The food is very Americanized. The orange chicken fries had a total of 4 pieces of orange chicken, and a full box of fries. The orange chicken was far too sweet, and I am wondering how much sugar they put in it. Also, orange chicken and fries were not a good combination! The fried noodle is a surprise, and it was the best thing in this meal. This meal was pretty sad to me. I am a big fan of fries; however, I could not finish it and had to throw it away. Also, I felt very thirsty after the meal, and it usually happens when the food I ate had a lot of msg in it.

Two stars for this place because of the fried noodle. I will probably not come back. The food is not worth the drive, time, and...

I went here to Mr. You recently and was truly disappointed. I went in to try this place for the first time since I have been seeing a bunch of pictures on Instagram about this place and their food looked good from the pictures I saw. A heavy set Filipina looking woman was behind the counter looked irritated by me trying to place my order. I ordered the two item combo with all Chow mein, orange chicken and Mongolian beef. As she was fixing my plate I noticed she had thrown some orange chicken on my box and then removed several pieces off the box after and did the same thing with them Mongolian beef shorting me yet she charged me for full price shorting me with my food. Very stingy! When I asked for some soy sauce she let out a sigh which sounded like she was getting irritated with me and threw three packets of soy sauce in the bag and walked away. Her service was terrible! The little food that I will serve was actually good and flavorful that is why I only gave this place two stars. Other than that I will never be returning here again and I recommend those to...
