Yan You - Chinesisches Restaurant in München

I don't understand the good reviews at all. Unfriendly service, very crowded tables, a stressful, loud atmosphere and (probably authentic) meat dishes that are fatty, gristly and seasoned with an extremely large amount of dry chili. In any case, the food didn't fit into my stomach. But if you like it...

Food was good, atmosphere was good as well. Porsions were bigger then expected so I asked for a package. Can recommend 23.

Top restaurant. The food is authentic and very tasty.

The food is good but the service is too rushed. The room is too small and there is too much smell of grease.

No service at all, the waitress had a very bad attitude, a very bad meal.

The restaurant was full, which immediately led me to think that it must be great. Friendly staff and wonderful food. Normal waiting time.

Definitely the best Chinese cuisine in Munich.

Very tasty and authentic Chinese food! Many dishes for vegetarians. The store is always full, so it's best to make a reservation otherwise you'll have to wait in line.

The crispy large intestine is really amazing, the food is enough, and the boss is enthusiastic. Turnaround is very good when there are a lot of people to look after. But overall it's a bit greasy. It would be better if it was lighter. Parking is available in Area 30 across the road from the hotel. Free during Sunday night time slot.

I came here specially from Nuremberg to eat there. I ate there once a year ago. The food was very generous and tasted very good. The main reason was that the price was affordable, much more affordable than the Chinese restaurants in Nuremberg. I highly recommend the Sichuan cuisine in the store. The chef is from Nanchong, Sichuan. As a Sichuanese, I feel that the taste is very authentic. The picture is of boiled pork slices with tofu curd (that should be the name). Based on my experience, I blindly estimate that pork tenderloin is one pound, and tender tofu is seven to one pound. I won’t analyze the details of seasoning and pickling. In short, it is very delicious. Come to Munich Must check in, but unfortunately I was in a hurry today and didn’t finish the meal

Exquisite food and exceptional service

Very good food. I only had simple fried noodles with chicken, but it really tasted very good. All ingredients prepared to perfection. Only the portion size is a bit small. But otherwise a clear recommendation.

Fantastic food - with huge portions! Very flavorful, very good quality, & a variety of options. The service is also very friendly.

Good food at a reasonable price. Yummy

Fantastic place. Great Chinese food, good price and super friendly stuff

The food was very tasty, also the Staff were frendly and hospitality, alway come with a smile. Highly recommend if you are looking for Chinese food

Good authentic Chinese food. Very crowded, therefore a bit hectic

For me one of the best restaurants in Munich with authentic Chinese cuisine. My absolute top favorites are the beef stew in chili oil and the fried beans with garlic and chili🥰

Our favorite shop! We come several times a month and the ladies are super friendly. And the food is just good. Very good dishes. Price-performance is simply right

Authentic and very tasty food. Mostly full, so make a reservation :)

Authentic Chinese restaurant? Hell yeah! Portions as big as my a** 😆😅 it's true 🤷‍♀️ Price performance ratio top. The only disadvantage: always full... but if you do something well... 🥹

Best Chinese food in Munich. No doubt about it .

I ate here with my friends. Everything was fine, except that the food was a bit too salty for my taste and the staff's German was difficult to understand I dined here with my friends. Everything was fine, except the food was a bit too salty for my taste, and the staff’s German was a bit hard to understand.

Great food, unfortunately the shop is far too small, there are too many tables, which makes it incredibly loud. But we'll be back the food makes up for it

The staff that assigned the table was very rude. We were in the middle of eating and she just pulled our table away to make room for other table. Why couldn’t she just ask first like a decent person? Unbelievable! Bad manners!

The food was very good, and the portions were sufficient. we had to wait a very long time for our plates and service due to the crowd.

We ordered a beef with garlic shoots and a sweet and sour pork. It was very tasty - very authentic Chinese flavour. The portions were quite big so we took some food home. Rice is free if it is not for takeaway. It gets super busy around dinner time. We went there around 6.30 and it was packed so had to wait a bit. Food and service is fast, just a bit too hectic with lots of people in a small place. Only one negative side - A GLASS of water (0.5l) is 3.80 euros, wasn’t even sure if it was from the tap or a big bottle. They should just serve a sealed bottle instead of serving it in a glass and charging 3.80. Although it was super busy, I will still recommend having food there if you are craving for authentic Chinese food.

The food was incredibly tasty and the staff was extremely friendly. It is the best Chinese restaurant in Munich that I have ever visited

Great food, fast service 10/10 overall

The food’s OK. The portions are big. I went there on a Saturday for lunch, it was super busy. The tables were SO close to each other I couldn’t eat without dropping stuff on the floor and my elbows on the other table. The prices are average. The service was kinda slow. Since there are lots of people, it takes some time to order and pay. However, after we ordered the food was delivered quickly. There was water on the ground in the bathroom. Other than that, it was clean.

Rubbish service, very bad attitude, business is good because your opponent is weak, not because you are awesome. The restaurants in Munich go up and down, so you just keep having fun and look forward to the collapse! come on!

As good as it gets in terms of food but this is outrageously good Chinese food

Very authentic, very good quality and quick service

A very chic restaurant. The food always tastes very good. The employees are very nice. We have been your guests for years and as a guest you always get something sweet with your food. I think that's really sweet. Again and again ❤️

It's not beautiful inside, but the FOOD is!! Incredibly good, incredibly authentic and not so Germanized. What a surprise!

One of the best, authentic, Chinese restaurants in Munich! Update summer 2024, still the best Chinese restaurant in Munich!

The fish-flavored shredded pork is highly recommended.

Service was friendly, but my friend had to wait half an hour for his food because they forgot it. What should be noted is that each person gets a sesame ball and a spring roll voucher. Half the star is because of the nice Swabian friends.4.5

Insanely good food and wonderful service

Great Chinese restaurant on Harras. Large selection of good quality.

The service is good until it comes time to pay. Food was very tasty and the prices were ok. Maybe a bit expensive at times but it was definitely worth it

Very busy restaurant. Food is excellent. Waiters are reasonably friendly. Will come again with more people.

I had a sore throat and really wanted to eat Chinese food. I happened to live nearby and found that there were many people in this restaurant every time I passed by, so I went to eat. It's really delicious and not expensive! I ordered a stir-fry for less than 20 euros. The rice seems to be refillable for free. The restaurant staff are super friendly.

Excellent Chinese cuisine in a cozy environment Yan You impresses with a diverse selection of authentic Chinese dishes that impress with fresh ingredients and careful preparation.

Waiting times are usually short and care is taken to ensure that the food is served at the optimal temperature. Overall, Yan You is an excellent choice for Chinese cuisine lovers looking for an authentic and quality dining experience. The restaurant offers a successful combination of excellent food, pleasant ambience and courteous service.

I packed it and took it home to eat. It was a big portion and came with sesame balls! Happy eating🍚

Food good. Service, as a European, unfortunately not good. lots of “locals”, which is always a good sign. Prices are now slightly higher. Sesame balls are probably only available for locals, not for us Germans.

A real Chinese Restaurant. Hardly any of the staff speak good German or English, and the walls are covered with art and menus in Chinese. It looks amazing, and is romantic. We had pig ears as a starter, Duck and a pork soup. The food gets served in huge bowls and everyone on the table has his/her own bowl and the whole table shares. We loved it. Great place to eat.

very good service, staff where very kind. The food was very good and nice, you might think it is expensive but the quantity is worth the money. The positioning is nice and for Sundays it is extremely easy to park. It looks like a very cultural Chinese restaurant. They deliver food very fast, and the people who come here to eat were also very kind and welcoming. The staff weren’t only Chinese, so also for non-Chinese people I would highly reccomend.

Top!!!! I recommend to everyone! Delicious food at a low price, top service, extremely kind and generous waiter, not to be missed!

Amazing Chinese restaurant. Be mindful not to order too much before seeing the portions, they're massive! The food is delicious and truly spicy where noted. Not a large selection of beers but after all that's not the point of the restaurant. We got there at 6pm which apparently is rush hour so we weren't served right away but in the end the staff was very accommodating and provided us with take away boxes.

Magnificent Chinese restaurant. It shows that half of the clients have Asian features. The degree of spiciness of the dishes is clearly indicated on the menu. Also to take home.

Very good food. Seems to be a regular restaurant for Chinese citizens. But TOP. Really recommended. Reserve a table. ☝🏻

The food was very authentic and plentiful. 😄 There were two of us and we ordered two main courses and a starter. In the end we had to literally “squeeze in” the food, there was so much. The location is right on a large street, which makes sitting outside (if you want to sit outside) not all that pleasant, but the food makes up for it. The price-performance ratio is definitely top!

Fast ordering, unfriendly female service. We didn't receive the starter we ordered but it was canceled after the second request. My main course was ordered as "hot", meaning very spicy, but was hardly seasoned at all.

Presentation and quality of the dishes beyond all expectations. Super generous portions!

Excellent quality food: fresh and well-cooked products, everything prepared very well, very generous portions, quick and friendly service!

They wrongly charged three extra drinks for two of us, we ordered one drink and three dishes for two people. Then I went outside and my boyfriend went to the reception but he only spoke English, not German or Chinese, then I went inside and saw the receipt with three extra drinks, totalling the number to 4. I was very shocked and they gave us a refund of the overcharge. I don't know how an experienced restaurant would make such a mistake like that if I assume it is not intentional. I'm still emotionally hurt by it I once recommended and brought my friends there. It was meant to be a nice memory but no more.

The food tastes yummy. This Chinese restaurant is so authentic.

From the hotel window you can see this place always full. So we decided to try it and we did well, really well. Excellent cuisine, very friendly service, not the usual dishes of Italian Chinese restaurants. Interesting prices, absolutely worth a try if you are in the area

Please don't put hot food in foam container. The hot oil touch the foam and it got melt ,so I ended up have to throw food away as it might cause cancer. I understand that restaurant is very busy but watch out for this. Last time I also got a wrong order while I get take away

Most authentic Chinese food in Munich. A must try! 👍😎

The large and affordable Sichuan restaurant recommended by a friend certainly lives up to its reputation.

It's best to come at the beginning of the opening time, when there isn't much going on or there are fewer guests. It's worth it. The food was prepared VERY quickly and freshly. 😊 Very intense spices. Good for people who like to eat spicy food. You have to tolerate a lot of oil well. Sorry for the image quality. I was really hungry and was able to put a lot of effort into taking photos 😅 So for Munich you have a very good price-performance ratio 😃 and it's best for 4-5 people to eat together so you can try more dishes! P.S.: Rice is free 😉

Very bad experience!! 🤢We ordered takeaway. After the food was ready, no one notified us. After a long wait, we had to go to the counter ourselves and ask. They had even forgotten that there was a take-out order... What was even worse was that the beef we ordered tasted completely like lamb❗Apparently they didn't clean the pans after frying lamb, so the taste of the lamb was completely in our court passed over. Terrible🤢. Furthermore, the other dishes were very, very greasy, inedible and not authentic at all! We won't be coming back😨🫠

Very good authentic Chinese price-performance ratio

I had dinner two days in a row. There are things like sweet and sour pork, and an acquaintance who went with me raved about how delicious the steamed malatang was. It costs 2 euros and comes with a generous portion of rice. They also provide glutinous rice donuts as a service on Friday evenings. It's a very good restaurant.

Food in good portions, tastes quite good - especially the authentic dishes. Price-performance ratio for Munich is top. Shabby atmosphere, but you come for the food Service is rather slow, but it works.

I ordered the curry vegetable tofu. Unfortunately it wasn't tasty. How unseasoned. Way too expensive for the quality. A pity.

Food is authentic and tasty. They have variety of spicy food and different spicy levels. Place is cosy but a bit crowded until 8 pm.

Waitress super nice and helpful The duck had more fat and crust instead of meat You can go and eat something else The selection is huge 2 main courses 12 spring rolls 3 drinks and that's €52

Very yummy Chinese restaurant with large portions and large selection of vegetarian items. Service was very fast and efficient!

one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in Munich full stop!

If you want Chinese cuisine rather than something European-style: it's here. Not lame but good and different. Impeccable toilets.

Although there is a little misunderstanding with the boss, he is very nice. If you have any questions, try not to call (the store is too noisy and the staff can’t hear clearly). Go directly to the store to solve the problem. The boss will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Reply

Very authentic Chinese restaurant However, the spiciness is a little milder The service was great

Best Chinese restaurant in Munich. Always have a very good time here. The crew is also really nice.

Love the dumplings here! It is a nice cozy little place. Could find decent Vegetarian options.

Super delicious Chinese food! There are a lot of Chinese people there to eat, so you can't go wrong!! 😋

Stuff very unfriendly and disorganised, it took them 30min just to bring us some tissues. The food was good

The worst organization I have ever seen in my life. We waited in line as two people for half an hour, they took the next 3 people to the 2-person table that was vacant inside, and one of them was standing waiting for a chair. They told us to wait another half hour. It was incredible. We left without eating.

We just went without any expectation but to taste Chinese cuisine. There was no seating place available, which led to assumptions that the place was the good choice. The food was excellent, and we were given sesame balls as free dessert. Service was also great. The seating arrangement was congested and therefore was not so comfortable but the taste of the food will make us forget.

You are so unfriendly. We politely ask if we can buy water and the lady replies dismissively. She offers a bottle of water for €5.50, so my friend asks if she has a smaller one, and the lady allows herself to make an "ouste" with her hand in farewell. I have never experienced such miserable service in my life.

Very good Sichuan restaurant, large portions and not expensive

Great authentic Chinese food. Highly recommended👍🏼

Food is average but portions are generous. Some dishes stand out, like their fried pork intensities but the classics like Mapo tofu are nothing to write home about. The place is packed so a reservation in advance helps. Service is fast

This is a restaurant that serves really delicious Chinese food. China and Germany are on the other side of the world, so how can the standard of Chinese food be higher than that of Korea right next door? The portions were so large that even though we ordered one menu per person, we almost couldn't eat it all.

The worst service I have ever experienced. I was alone and when I arrived there were a lot of tables inside and outside. Still, I got a seat at a dirty counter between two strangers. The space was so tight that I was constantly elbowed (unintentionally) by the others. I left without ordering. Subterranean unfriendly service.

Yan You is my favorite restaurant in Munich. Delicious food, quick preparation and nice people.

Super tasty, large portions, very nice staff, reasonable prices. Extremely fast service. We'll be back.

One of them is the boss's wife (?) The attitude is very bad. I dare not compliment (but others are very nice!) Ask if there is any drink so we can look at the menu ourselves. We just don't understand German so we have to ask. So the meal is like this == I am very disappointed.

One of my favorites when it comes to Chinese cuisine in Munich. Especially the dishes with pork colon are very good.

My girlfriend and I love it here. Price performance is unbeatable in Munich. We get on very well with the nice family that runs the shop. I wish that the two European ladies employed were a little nicer. But that's left out. I can only warmly recommend Yanyou. The takeaway service is also very quick (wait about 10 minutes). Thank you 🙌🏽

Very authentic Chinese cuisine, large portions

Fantastic cuisine, delicious dishes, very nice service.

A dingy pub with terrible service. May 6th, 2024, it's pouring rain. My brother and I went to dinner. The restaurant was half empty. The waitress screamed like a madwoman because I had placed my purse on a chair next to me even though, I repeat, the restaurant was half empty. She said there could be more guests coming and that we had spread ourselves too thin. By the way, for some reason they sat us shoulder to shoulder next to two girls and we left the restaurant without ordering anything. The staff speaks as if slaves had come to them. If you expect good service, you've definitely come to the wrong place!

The food there is really very tasty and very authentic! We always only order take-away there, as there is rarely a free space there without a reservation (very busy + very small restaurant). The “Pho Bo” soup is an absolute dream (the correct name on the menu is a bit too long and confusing for me 😂 sorry about that). Price-performance is also great! Baked duck with various sauces is also super tasty. However, we haven't dared to try the "non-German dishes" yet... a sample plate with all sorts of things would be great 😀

Really nice place and atmosphere! Locals know about! Very tasty 😋

I ate at this restaurant twice when I came to Munich! ! It’s our canteen! Big portions! The food is delicious too! Recommend this boiled beef and this spicy millet beef! ! So delicious

We decided on 2 different duck dishes. Even though it was very busy, we didn't have to wait long. The staff was also very friendly despite the full house. The food was very tasty and plentiful. Come again!

It can be very crowded but i csnt blame them when the food and service is really good fast and delicious. Friendly and very helpful staff. The food serving is big very worth the price and the quality is really great.
