Très Yan & Wu

One of my favorite «fancy» Chinese restaurants. Prices are definitely higher than any take-​out place but service worth the price. I ordered an entrée that my server said wasn’t good, all fried (thai shrimp tempura), so he convinced me to change my mind and choose another shrimp dish, which was delicious. My server could have just taken my order but he was a gem and very interactive with our ordering decisions, as my dining partner changed his sushi order to omit the avocado and his entrée substituted broccoli for other vegetables. We also had dessert to share and the mango and passion fruit sorbet was delicious served in a white chocolate shell.

Outstanding Restaurant!!!

By far, this is the best authentic Chinese restaurant in the area! They consistently serve fresh and authentic dishes. My family absolutely loves the chicken teriyaki, the mongolian beef, the eggplant in garlic sauce, and the sushi. Paula is very nice and friendly. The wait staff is pleasant and courteous. The décor is beautiful and upscale. We have been eating here for years and will continue to do so for many more years.

Really LOVE this place. However they are now using dark meat in their general chicken which isn’t great. I used to love it. Now it’s really fatty. They have great Lo mein though!

Usually love this place. Recently there food hasent been as good but still good. Very expensive. Please keep chicken quality what its always been. They did annoy me because one time I ordered lunch special on a saturday. They took the order, then when I arrived they gave me full meal prices. I understand they may not do that on weekends, but if you take the order honor it. We didnt know?

Came here for dinner with friends. I was pleasantly surprised. The portions were large, the food was fresh and tasted good. I also tried a few of the sushi rolls and was very surprised that they were up there in quality and freshness. The price tag is steep, but one of the better asian/​sushi places around in the south jersey area.

As long as this restaurant and Unilocal allow racist rants like the one posted here by scott s, several posts down, I can not take anything posted here seriously. I contacted Unilocal and they did not think there was anything wrong with his post. So if Unilocal does not remove racist and disparaging posts that means they condone it. Do you really want to use such a service? This site is to review the restaurant, not post his opinion of the other people that use this site

Best sushi! I love sushi and by far this is the best sushi I have gone to in years. I always sit at the small sushi bar with my husband, we order each roll one by one to enjoy how fresh they are. Great service, quite enough to have a conversation, it also looks very fancy and nice inside.

Freshest and tastiest chinese food I’ve ever had…

This review is based on calling in a large pick-​up order for a family gathering.
3.5-stars, rounded up for nice phone customer service, and quality execution of all dishes.
They only have one line with no/​limited call-​waiting. So you just have to keep calling back if you get a busy signal. Rather old school to not have an online ordering option. But the gentleman was nice, made sure he understood the order, and they got everything right.
All of the dishes we ordered were quite good. Portion sizes were good-​to-​generous. The Cream of Crab & Sherry Soup was excellent! Very good, light crab rangoon. Very nice sweet and sour sauce (not thick and cloying like your standard cheap chinese take out).
My only qualm with the food is that the Mongolian dishes (both the beef and the lamb) are VERY heavy on the bamboo. For these price tags (which are equivalent to nicer Chinese Restaurants in NYC), the balance of protein and vegetable should be more generous on the protein side.
Still, we’d all order again in a heartbeat. It’s a splurge for this type of cuisine, but well worth every ducat.

We recently stopped in for dinner on Christmas Eve. The restaurant’s décor was tasteful and welcoming, and our dinner was delicious!
I find a lot of Chinese restaurants in the US to be «Americanized», but this was a pleasant surprise.
The ginger dressing is wonderful. The crab and asparagus soup was tasty and had real crab. The sushi was fresh and delicious. My beef and Chinese broccoli was wonderful!
We found out the restaurant only closes for Thanksgiving; they are open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Will definitely be back the next time we visit this part of NJ.

Love this place. Never had a bad dish. Food is fresh, and delicious. Love their sushi!

I noticed this restaurant had multiple plaques in the front window from the Courier Post for best sushi and Chinese restaurant so I was intrigued.
Tres Yan is BYOB. This is not a typical Chinese restaurant. The atmosphere is nicely done, it’s relaxed with classical music playing in the background. The food is amazing. The waiters were pleasant and attentive.
I highly recommend the sushi. It was fresh, tasted great and was beautifully plated. I also recommend the grandfather chicken, honey walnut shrimp, seafood pan fried noodles. I will definitely be back.

I have been going here for years! And I have always loved it until now. They are known for the general tso chicken and I always raved about it telling people how it was a great portion and all white meat. Well the last 3 times I got it, it was just gross. Fatty and greasy. They absolutely changed suppliers to save money and yet still charge $ 17 for it. I first thought it was a Fluke but if it is that bad 3x in a row it’s just bad. I’m sure they have saved pennies by changing the rest of the product quality too.

This place is wonderful. It has a great option of teas, the sushi is always supeeeerrr fresh and the Chinese food is never greasy, always yummy. The only downside is its super pricey so its easier for us to just get regular Chinese takeout most of the time.

The service was great and the food was great. Menu items are a little pricey and this place is not really good for kids.

Great food and great service. They have an amazing seaweed salad. Love to shush too. This is one of the first places with sushi I tried in Mount Laurel and it is by far the best.

First time visit tonight! Had shrimp wonton soup and seafood tofu soup, followed by a special sushi roll appetizer, and general chicken and mango chicken dinner entrees. Food top notch, service very good, prices about right for the location and décor. We will definitely return for dinner.

Great Chinese, garlic shrimp is delicious and sesame chicken uses actual white meat which is fantastic.

Stopped here for take-​out after a visit to the urgent care center next door. The place is beautiful inside, but guess what… you’re paying dearly for that décor.
I asked the woman at the front desk for their lunch special menu, figuring I’d get something decent for $ 5−7…nope, nothing under $ 10 on it. I ordered the shrimp with mixed vegetables & won ton soup — a measly 3 shrimp in this entrée, which was filled mostly with zucchini and absolutely flavorless. The won ton soup was tasty but was half the size of what you’d normally get with a lunch special at any other Chinese restaurant. Also, kind of annoyed when I got back to work and opened my meal and no utensils or napkins were enclosed.

Chinese fusion by a great chef with decent prices is how I would summarize my lunch grab and go order. Clearly the food is much fresher than you typical ‘Chinese food’ joint. This is fine dining with a casual vibe inside. It’s perfect for those, like me, who wants to get a good meal and doesn’t mind the extra few dollars for fresher ingredients.
I went in for a lunch order pick up on a cashew shrimp with peppers, brown rice and miso soup. Mmmmm, goooood. The atmosphere inside was good for business, friends or family. It looked clean and the hostess was sweet as pie.

Shrimp dumpling soup was pretty good. Light tasting, good dumplings, the broth wasn’t hot enough (temperature) and there wasn’t enough of the broth.
The Peking Duck was… fine, the duck was sort of spongy. The skin was crisp, but it seemed like the two were cooked separately. They use crepes with the Peking Duck as apposed to buns (I prefer buns). The plum sauce was pretty good, and not overly salty. I wish there were more greens on the plate with this dish.
The server was a bit forgetful, we needed to remind him a couple of times about things that we ordered. Now, we were a group of 8, so I can forgive this a bit due to the large variety of things that we ordered.
BYOB

Dear uneducated, racist/​ignorant people that just casually surf Unilocal without knowing the difference between Japanese/​Chinese/​Korean/​Thai food:
In case you haven’t noticed, this restaurant is owned by Cantonese-​speaking Chinese people and predominantly serve food inspired by the Sinitic mainland. Sure, restaurants nowadays like to capitalize on the fact that most Americans that have never been abroad cannot distinguish between what’s authentic and what’s watered-​down and offer dishes that are slightly outside of their taste palate (e.g. Chinese/​Korean restaurants that serve Japanese food; Chinese «phở» restaurants, etc.) but if you’re a smart consumer, you don’t go into McDonalds and order the salad and expect for it to be the best thing in the world. Or go to Olive Garden and expect the pizza/​tomato pie to be better than LL Spumoni’s or Uno’s (the real one in Chicago, not the grille franchise)
That being said, one should know better than to be ignorant enough to order Sushi/​sashimi from a Chinese restaurant and have an epiphany regarding the futility of said act, and then try to mask the newfound shame through an uninformative, lackluster Unilocal review centered on loaded and negative phrases.
Now that I’m done being a Negative Nancy, on to the actual review.
I don’t quite know what part about this restaurant is very yan and what part of it is wu, but it seems to be working well for the restaurant itself. Yes, the restaurant is slightly pricier than your run-​of-​the-​mill delivery/​takeout Chinese restaurant, and to miss the fact that TY&W is not one of the aforementioned establishments, you’d be a square. The interior of the restaurant is very well decorated, and has the air of elegance to it; all the wait staff don white button-​up shirts and trim black pants, which did make me feel slightly underdressed, but they didn’t seem to mind it anyhow.
Service was excellent and on that note, to people that complain about the lack of service or the quality of service in Chinese restaurants: if you ever go to China, to get any service in ANY restaurant period (save the ones frequented by the upper/​middle class) you have to yell «Waiter/​Waitress» and yell at the top of your lungs and pray to dog they heard you. It’s actually kind of like a bar — you try your darndest to establish eye contact and communiation with your server and then pray to Buddha that you don’t end up with the runs within the next two hours.
In any case, the waitress was very friendly and attentive to our culinary needs.
The food here – so long as you figure out that they’re a Chinese restaurant and you should order things that Chinese people like to eat – is outstanding. We ordered the eggplant, stir-​fried bok choy in ginger/​garlic sauce, (which was replaced with Chinese cauliflower because they ran out of bok choy) beef and scallops in pepper sauce, and because I was at dinner with non-​Asian people, Thai Shrimp. The chef was also more than willing to cook up an egg and scallion fried rice for us even though it wasn’t on the menu, which, along with the rest of the meal, was probably some of the best Chinese food I’d had in Jersey.
TY&W probably benefits from the fact that they’re located in Mount Laurel, NJ and not Philly Chinatown, but it’s a solid choice if you love Chinese food and are tired of eating it out of silly paper/​styrofoam containers.
Oh, and BYOB.

We ordered lunch for three on a Monday. The bill was $ 60 — way, way too expensive for what you get. The food was very tasty and well prepared, but the prices are out of control.
I had sushi: mango roll and shrimp tempura roll. Very good and fresh but teensy tiny.
Mom had shrimp dumplings and she mentioned that they were good
Boyfriend had pad Thai — he was happy with it but it’s «Thai from a Chinese place.»
We also shared egg rolls and edamame. The edamame was fresh but not seasoned — what? Egg rolls were average.
If they cut the prices in half, we’ll talk. But until then, there’s food for better prices.

best shrimp dumplings/​wanton i’ve had in the states! that’s definitely a must get when you come here~
other dishes on the menu are solid too. the taste is very authentic. the only down side is that the price isn’t all that pleasing… for the price of one meal here i can probably get 2 in chinatown for the same stuff. quality wise– it’s pretty clear tres yan & wu has a cleaner setting and better presentation than that in dirty o chinatown.
i would recommend coming here if you’re bringing a date. otherwise, economically speaking, it’s wiser to stop by elsewhere like joe’s peking duck house or sankee noodle house. but of course, don’t expect the same ambiance. no other chinese restaurant in the area will serve you water in a fancy wine glass like at a french restaurant. pinky up!

Atmosphere feels fine dining but you can be dressed very casual.
I am sorry, but either the chef was on vacation or I had the one bad meal that everyone missed.
The best dish of the night was my appetizer — Fried Pork Dumplings — EXCELLENT!
I was really excited that my meal started off with a bang because I was sure to enjoy the rest to come! However, I was FULLY disappointed.
We ordered three dishes to try — Walnut Shrimp, Kung Pao Chicken, and Pan Fried Noodles with Pork.
O.M.G. — Where is the flavor? The Pan Fried Noodles lacked so much flavor my 2 year nephew could have made it better. It was like eating colored paste.
The Walnut Shrimp was a 3 star — again — where’s the punch? I give it a little more praise for two reasons — 1 the shrimp were cooked perfectly with the right amount of crunch (breading) fried. There was more potential to this dish — just needed a hint of sweet.
Kung Pao Chicken — I have had numerous times at other Chinese restaurants and buffets and again — NOT spicey at all and lacked any flavor that was hiding in the kitchen and did not want to be seen.
Thoroughly disappointed and for the prices I paid I expected better. I TRULY wanted to try again, but 1 out of 4 dishes were good so the odds are not there.
I will not be back. I wish I had enjoyed my time as much as others… but I was better off spending my money on a movie and bag of popcorn.
P. S. They only serve water to drink. I am not sure if it is a BYOB… but no drinks listed on menu and water is what you get.
