Walked around the casino for an hour waiting for this place to open today. I must say it was worth the wait! The spring rolls were HUGE stuffed with shrimp roast pork and noodles. The peanut sauce was disappointing . It wasn’t a sauce at all, more like a lump of peanut butter with peanuts on top. I also got the Yang chow fried rice which had lots of plump juicy shrimp and a delicious Chinese sausage. The rice was plentiful and full of eggs and spring onion. Last thing was dessert! A coconut bun. It was warm and delicious if you like coconut you will love this dessert. I sat at the bar and was thoroughly entertained by Kim! Wonderful attentive staff in this chic restaurant. I will be back!

Going in there with low expectations as diners that does a myriad of Asian cusines usually doesn’t do it well. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the food. The dishes served wasn’t as authentic and traditional as what I am used to but they tasted good overall As a big party, we had pho, Yang Chow fried rice, hot and sour soup, satay beef, and Korean fried wings, and half of a roast duck. The pho broth was bland, but I’ve haven’t gotten good pho broth in Ohio area yet. It was acceptable. Everything else about the pho was acceptable. The Yang Chow fried rice was very good and followed the traditional recipe. Well done. The hot and sour soup was unique but good. Korean fried wings were too salty per the party and doused in too much sauce. The outside was hard rather than crunchy. Satay beef was okay. The roast duck deserves its own category.

The food is uninspiring and tasteless, but the service and atmosphere are fine. I felt like I was eating cardboard so I had to dump a lot of seasoning spices to give the food some flavor.

We tried for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised. The short ribs were tender and the portion was large. Also tried the stone bowl. It was delicious. The coconut bun was OK. Definitely will go back. The service was exceptional

Another great addition to the Hard Rock. Food presentation here is 10/10, the pork dumpling appetizer was prepared perfectly, and the sundae tasted as good as it looks. In terms of overall taste and style it’s somewhere between authentic Asian and Asian-American food. It is not overly sweet like most typical Asian-American chains. Overall a solid place for dinner.

Finally got around to eating here and loved it. We ordered and shared several items from both the Sharables and Wok menus, with the Singapore Noodles being my personal favorite. Also, the Chili Crisp on the table was outstanding. Haven’t tried the Sushi yet. Service from the bar was prompt (though it was late at night) and friendly, with good recommendations.

My best friend’s mother funeral was earlier in the day. After the funeral, repass and family/friends over all day, we decided to get some late night food. We saw that the Hard Rock Casino was open, so we headed there. Some friends were in the area so they went ahead and got the table. When we arrived my brother walked to the table and turned the turnstile on the table. He didn’t realize that the turnstile was going to turn so fast. The condiments were in three glass containers. They flew off the table along with all the contents inside the glass containers. Glass was everywhere and it was a mess. When the waitress arrived we were apologetic. We assisted with the clean up. We told her that it was a mistake and he didn’t realize that the turnstile was going to turn so fast. After the clean up, we placed our order and waited on our food. About 10 minutes later the manager and the police came over. The police said, “This is the manager, he is going to have a conversation with you and then I’m going to have a conversation with you.” The manager proceeded to say, “We saw you come in and knocked the condiments off the table. We think you are drunk.”

I never write reviews but i am here to di3 on a hill. First off to the guy that is angry about the bar. The bar is fine. Im sorry youre short but being short is the restaurants fault im 5’5 and i got over it when i was 15. The food was fine. I got the short ribs and had an amazing waitress who was very sweet. The sake was excellent she made an amazing suggestion with the entree and sake. It was a bit chewy but ey cant win em all. The dipping sauce was insanely good and rich i mean it was phenomenal i love asian food and yes it does have a spread out menu but not too many options (gordon ramsey says stay away from places with too many options)

YouYu, you are a very confused Asian fusion restaurant. With a menu offering Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indian, and Japanese specialties, it’s no wonder YouYu misses it’s mark by a long shot.
