Uncle Yip's Restaurant

Better than it has been in the past years. I feel like Uncle Yips stepped it up a notch. Fresh weekend dim sum with endless choices. Along with dim sum, I ordered sweat and sour chicken. By far the best S&S chicken I've ever had period.The staff was super friendly and attentive. I give this place 5-stars for their category.

So a very positive update to my prior review on Uncle Yips! I was stuck at the youth sports complex across the street, was hungry, and needed a place to be, so I dined in at Uncle Yip's.My previous review was based on take-out, and I was unhappy. I dined in this time, and had a much more positive experience.Dining in gave me the opportunity to talk to the server, describe what I like, and get a recommendation. I got the sizzling beef and the chicken corn soup, and was very happy with my meal. Soup was good and was a huge portion. Beef came in sizzling life fajitas and also featured vegetables and some jalapenos. Everything was good and I was happy.Service was attentive. Dining room is large with neon lights and some big tables. It was empty on the weeknight I visited but doing a ton of carryout business.Not sure I'd do carryout from here again, but I would dine in again.

I just have to weigh in on Uncle Yip's one more time. I have been one of their "regulars" for the past year, sticking with my tried-and-true favorites: the Vegetable Delight with Tofu, because of all the fresh vegetables, the Kung Pao Chicken authentic style, because of all that luscious dark meat chicken, no veggies, perfectly spiced with peanuts, and the crispy sesame balls with black bean filling because, well, they're crispy sesame balls filled with sweet black bean filling. Tonight, however, I tried a few new dishes, and was equally blown away. OMG, the Jumbo Shrimp with Hot Garlic Sauce is spectacular. It was still hot when I got it home, and the flavor was amazingly complex -- just spicy enough, green peppers and plump shrimp swimming in brown spicy goodness!! I also tried the Thai Curry Chicken for the first time, and it too surprised me with an unusual and dynamic taste (though I have to say the Jumbo Shrimp is my favorite). The chicken was in these plump strips, and though it didn't have a sauce it was no less flavorful. Add that to the always friendly staff, and the comfortable and warmly decorated setting, and you have a home restaurant I'll be loyal too for life. Especially now I've got the courage to start working my way through the rest of the menu.

They were very busy when we went on a Saturday, however we did not wait long. Food was FABULOUS, staff extremely friendly. Best authentic Chinese food had in a while.

This is still one of favorite places to eat. We've been coming here for over 16 years and have been regulars for the last 10 years that Vera has own it. We're here a few times a month - sometimes once a week. The food here is consistently delicious and the service good. The staff are welcoming and Vera treats everyone like family coming to visit. Our visit this week I had one of my favorite dishes here - Cumin Beef. My husband had the Tiao Tiao Fish, another favorite. Both very flavorful dishes! We also had the Stuffed Chili Pepper with Shrimp for an appetizer, off of the Dim Sum menu.

Uncle Yip's is very nice inside, which was surprising given the state of the strip mall in which it sits.We were there today, Thursday, at noon. Business was steady, but it was nowhere near packed. We were there with friends and I didn't check in with them on their meals. One ordered Steam Shrimp Dumplings for the table. They were very good. The shrimp flavor was clean and the dumpling was tasty. I had the Ma Po Tofu. I saw a picture of it here on Yelp and I was sold before we even got to the restaurant. I noticed the meal had a chili pepper next to it on the menu, which gave me pause. I'm glad I ordered it anyway. It was not spicy, but still very flavorful. It did appear to have chili sauce in it, but again, it wasn't overly spicy by anyone's standards. The bowl was chock full of tofu. So much tofu! The nice thing about tofu is that it's not super filling. Even though it was a lot of food, I was the only one at the table that cleared my plate (bowl).Mark thought the General Tso's Chicken was okay.Service was good. The guy running the show did a good job of keeping up with everyone and everything.

We drove up here from northern Ky because it had great reviews for dim sum. It was super quiet when we were in there but the servers were nice. We tried lots of different dishes and they all tasted yummy. They are authentic and well priced. Some take longer to come out than others but they make it all fresh.

Overall, I would probably look elsewhere than this spot. They offer a good variety of lunch specials for a fair price. I placed a to go order for the Mongolian beef with fried rice online which was about a 10 to 1 ratio of onions to beef. Also, I received white rice rather than fried. If ordering from here, I'd advise avoiding the online ordering. It seemed like there was some confusion when I arrived to pick up because they did not begin cooking my order until I arrived about 20 minutes after placing it.

Restaurant is in a non descript retail strip. The minute you sit down, they come over with carts of steamed dumplings, egg rolls, and other yummy confections. Family owned and the wait staff is always pleasant. The food is authentic and so amazing!

Overpriced and overrated Chinese Uber Delivery. Worse Orange Chicken ever. It is just sticky dough. Hardly any chicken meat. 10:1 dough to "chicken". The Special Shrimp, Chicken, Pork fried rice was not great. Hardly any chicken, 3 tiny shrimp. At least the Szechuan Green Beans was good. I will not order from this place again.
