    We visited Yu on the 1st of March and it was an amazing experience! The restaurant was beautifully decorated, everything was clean and presented well. Our waiter was LOVELY, super friendly and considerate. We had a mixture of the small plates, the Dim Sum and the Bao Buns. Everything tasted amazing, each item had a different flavour profile that worked so well! Would definitely recommend, I am already planning my next visit.
