My name is Martha Maksymowych and I got a phone call that I won a free dinner. Could I exchange it for a free lunch instead? Also, your restaurant is the best. The food is excellent and so are your workers. My mom and I visit is often.

My husband and I have been coming here since 2007,we love the food,for it is always fresh,hot and delicious. The employee's are very friendly and helpful asking if we need anything very often. The prices are very reasonable! We will continue to go to this location at 591 Clairton Blvd! We also have went to the new location on route 51, next to The Red White And Blue store on the bottom of Bausman street and it was Horrible!!!! None of the food tastes or looks like Old Town Buffet's, They really need a different name because it was nothing like the original place. We will never go back there again! The staff,food and service was terrible!!!!! I will not be surprised when they close down!

I was looking forward to this becoming my new favorite place until I just went into the restroom. The chart on the door indicates that it hasn't been cleaned for 48 hours. The handicap stall is so filthy that I would not use any of the stalls. I did not finish my meal. I can only imagine that the kitchen is just as dirty.

Worst buffet I've ever been to. The manager was dumber than wood. The employees were eating while waiting on people. Sushi was brown. Nothing was fresh. After complaining they didn't offer to comp our meal. Grossest place in Pittsburgh.worstmeal.

My husband and I are devoted customers to Yu's since opening. The food is good, fresh and appealing in all varieties, you always see an employee cleaning something or dusting something and the server that replenishes the buffet is always stirring the food or wiping the counter off, I will say it is clean, however, the servers do not speak good english at all and do not come back to you to ask if you need napkins, re-fills, etc. There is never a wait for a table. They do not replenish the crab leg bin nearly enough..they put a certain amount out at a time and everyone scoops them up (there isn't alot put out in the first place) and then you wait for the next round to come out. All in all I would recommend this restaurant as what I mentioned doesn't really have a whole lot of bearing to keep us from going back again and again as the food is really good especially for a buffet and the cost is so reasonable.

We found you on the internet and decided to give you a try. Yes, the food was ok, the service was ok, and the price was ok...but that's all it was. With that much hype from the other folks, it seemed to raise the specter of a higher degree of expectation. I'm sorry to say that we were slightly disappointed as a whole. The diversity is tremendous, but we found the food rather bland - not seasoned enough. We understand using wait staff that may not know much of the English language, but should be instructed on some basic courtesy phrases: "could I get you some more of this-that, are you finished with your dinners?, how is your meal so far?" type of stuff. The coupons were appreciated but confusing and we were embarrassed when the waitress came back to announce we gave her the wrong one - 6 people usually means 'up to six people' and we didn't understand you HAD to have 6 people to use a certain coupon. The place was well lit and clean and, in all fairness, we didn't try the sushi bar being full from trying to sample as much as we could from your other bars. In all, we would rate you C /B-.

I love Yu's but when you advertise crab legs you need to fill the pan more than every half hour. I eat more than just crab legs (when I can get them) and pay the same as those that fill up on carb legs. That said, I will not stop coming back, the food and the entire staff are the greatest.

We stopped in for Thanksgiving dinner because we didn't want all the hassle of cleaning up a lot of excess food and left overs. This place was worth it just for that. But the quality of the food it's self was wonderful and well worth the trip. If you have a chance, please stop in for a great dinner at a great price. You'll be glad you did. Trust me.

We love Yu's. Never a wait to be seated and everything is always clean at the tables and fresh on the buffet. Even our 3 year old picks this as her favorite restaurant choice. Wait staff is attentive. Tons of food choices, many of which are kid-friendly and traditional, non-Chinese fare. Absolutely worth trying if you've never been there---you'll be back!

This is the best buffet I've ever been to. Best selection, chinese, japanese and american. The food IS FRESH (the sushi chef will make sushi to order and there's a mongolian grill made to order too). Contrary to other experiences, I've seen them replace older food, and even stop me from taking older food to replace it and give me fresh food. That being said it IS buffet, and if you're looking for the greatest food you ever ate at a buffet, you're crazy. If you're looking for buffet food, however, don't pass up Yu's! We come back all the time.?
