Andy & Yu's — Restaurant in Pleasanton

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area. The food is well prepared, I especially like the vegetable mixture that comes with some dishes(lightly sautéed pawns with vegetables in light sauce, and home style tofu). It’s has generous amount of broccoli, bokchoy, cabbage, carrots and asparagus in the mix, cut size is right, cooked tender enough yet still remains its crispness. I don’t even know how to cook it well like this in my own kitchen…we have came to this place for at least 6 times and have tried different dishes. The food quality has been consistent, which is really important… :) the price is very reasonable, given the food quality, downtown location, parking lot in the back, and of course, something also tickles my fancy, white table linens. Of all things, I haven’t mentioned about the service… that’s also brought me to write this review today. We always felt being treated nicely and warmly at this place. Today we came for lunch, I asked my husband to order me a Yuxiang pork, and he mistakenly ordered a different dish and we didn’t notice that until the dishes came. I was initially surprised, this is not what I ordered… and the waiter quickly apologized and said they will make the dish I wanted. My husband told them that he made the mistake at ordering and we will pay for it. The waiter right away told us not to worry about it. Coming from a hospitality profession, this smooth gesture of always make your customers feel right, is a gold medal. Very nice people work at this restaurant, you can tell. The restaurant is clean, and artfully decorated. It has a nice wine bar and lovely cocktail selections. I can’t wait to go back again and try something new! In the...

This is part of the Uncle Yu's group and is some of if not the best Chinese food in the area. I live in Fremont but whenever I am near Pleasanton or have any excuse to go there, I almost always stop there for a meal especially given the general mediocrity of sit-down Chinese restaurants in the Fremont area. For me the Uncle Yu's group is the equivalent of Chief Chu's in the East Bay. However, I must disagree with the price point rating as I would give it $$$ not $$. That said, given the quality and service I feel it is worth it. Normally the service is terrific but on my last occasion, stopping by after the County Fair, service was disappointing. We arrived around 7:30PM and ordered multiple courses around 15 minutes later. All the food was served at once and many of the dishes were cold when we got to them. We were then told that the kitchen closes at 8:00PM except on weekends when it closes at 8:30. This is obviously not a place for late night dining. In any case we had the cold dishes packed up, took them home, carefully reheated them in a microwave at low power and they were delicious. Some good points are that while charging for rice they do not charge extra for brown rice and unlike so many other restaurants these days they do not tack on a mandatory service charge or tip other than for parties. One of the negative points that seem common with the restaurant group is mostly bare walls and floors with poor sound absorption leading to a quite noisy environment during prime dining hours. That said overall this is a great...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Experience at Andy & Yu’s!

I recently dined at Andy & Yu’s and was thoroughly impressed by both the quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. • Honey Walnut Shrimp: Perfectly cooked shrimp with a light, crispy coating and creamy, slightly sweet sauce. The caramelized walnuts were crunchy and rich — a great balance of texture and taste. • Fried Rice: Classic and satisfying. It was filled with vegetables and bits of egg, not greasy, and seasoned just right. • Chicken Lettuce Wraps: Crisp lettuce cups filled with savory diced chicken and crunchy noodles, served with a tasty hoisin-style sauce. Great starter! • Wonton Soup: Comforting and clean, with tender wontons, fresh greens, and a flavorful broth that wasn’t too salty. • Ambiance: Elegant and calm setting with white tablecloths and attentive service. Great for both casual dining and special occasions.

Highly recommended for anyone craving high-quality Chinese cuisine in a pleasant, sit-down environment. I’ll definitely be back to try...
