Yu Garden Asian Cuisine - Taos

We accidentally discovered this delightful restaurant, and it turned out to be a fantastic find. The charming Taiwanese woman who served us made a great impression, but it was the exceptional food that truly won us over — some of the best Chinese cuisine we’ve ever had. We began with chicken dumplings (also known as potstickers), which were lightly fried to achieve a perfect crispiness without any hard edges. The cashew chicken was generously packed with zucchini, mushrooms, and pineapple, along with plenty of chicken and cashews. The mushu pork was another highlight; it was expertly prepared, not at all soggy or greasy. We wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem!

The owner of this restaurant is incredibly sweet! The food is authentic and absolutely delicious. The spring rolls were bursting with flavor, and the General Tso's chicken, along with the tempura vegetables and shrimp, was fantastic! And I can't overlook the cheese wontons—they were amazing!

We had the vegetable Udon noodles and they were fantastic! They understood our vegan request and left out the egg. Everything was delicious, and we were very pleased with our meal.

We had lunch today and mentioned that we are vegan, ordering the Kung Pao Tofu. The woman who took our order was unfazed and informed the chef about our dietary preference. The miso soup was vegan, and the rest of the food was delicious with generous portions. I'm really glad we decided to stop here!

The care and attention given to my vegan meal to prevent cross-contamination with non-vegan food by the restaurant was impressive. The staff informed me about which items were vegan and provided guidance on how to order for my next visit. They packaged all the vegan food separately in its own bag to go, even separating the almond cookies (non-vegan) from the fortune cookies (vegan) into their respective compartments.
