New Yee Dynasty

I’ve been to the yee before last night, knew it was the type of place that you warn your friends «it’s a bit trashy», but I couldn’t believe the service last night. I heard their scorpion bowls were good, that’s a lie. They are served in a pitcher and taste just as awful as their Mai Tai. Our waitress never came over to check on us until I made a comment to the bartender. Then it took her forever to get things so much to the fact that I ordered a beer from her and it took her so long I just went to the bar, thinking maybe she forgot, and I was able to get that and walk back to my table before she finally came over with the beer I ordered from her. She made us feel as though doing her job was an inconvenience to her. Their scorpion bowls are 15 dollars and they don’t mention that at all. It was 13 dollars for two shots of fireball which is rediculous. The karaōke is admittedly fun but the creepy 60+ year olds that sit at the corner of the bar and whistle at you while on stage was intimidating and made me stop going up to sing. They don’t have free soda refills and don’t tell you of this. I wouldn’t be as upset about how slow and inattentive she was if it was busy, but it wasn’t. Then after all that she didn’t know how to split our bill. Awful experience, if I get dragged there again hopefully I arrive drunk so I don’t have to remember the experience.

Wife and I had the dinner buffet. What a joke. It is very limited in its offerings and what there seemed to have been on the steam table for some time. Another place I won’t return to. We also had to walk thru a gauntlet of smokers to get into the place.

I really enjoy this place. The night life is always fun and the food always tastes fresh. The bartender and waitresses are always friendly and available. The vegetable soup is awesome. Beware of the mixed drinks if your a lightweight, they can be toxic but delish.

The food is is NOT GOOD! The problem is with this place is there are too many drunk people, and when someone orders food in the bar and they don’t eat it all, they take it out back and heat it up and serve it to the other drunks, they never throw anything away! I have also seen customers send back drinks that they didn’t like and after the customer drinks out of it the Bartender takes it out back and puts it in another glass and serves it to someone else! I have seen it happen. It’s also a dirty place with mice running around the kitchen. The owner is very rude and service is lousy! It’s a completely skanky place. And the Bar has cameras everywhere to watch the drunken cock roaches! Food and drinks are horrible! stay away from this place! If you eat or drink here you will probably be very sick the next day, I was!

I have never been spoken to so rudely by a restaurant staffer. Female who answered the phone was rude beyond words, even though I was extremely polite. Food is ok, but I will NOT be going back to this place because the conversation I just endured was absurd. Get some help, lady.

The host at the door was friendly and professional then it went downhill real fast. Took one look at the buffet and said, ooohhh maaan let’s get out of here. If you remember the scene in the movie Vegas vacation where Clark Griswold is at the buffet with Cousin Eddie where the food is different colors and not fit for human consumption that’s what it looked like. I hear this place is a hit with the bar crowd but I can’t imagine being that wasted to think that food is edible.

Embarrassing!
We just moved to Manchester from r.i. To pay back my uncle for helping us move in and unload he just wanted a good dinner. We went to Yee Dynasty because it was the only Chinese restaurant we had seen up to this point. We were seated by a guy who seemed pretty polite. Then an older blonde woman came over to wait on us. She was as peachy as they come, and it actually makes me hate having to give a bad review. The food was repulsive. My kids and my husband both got sweet-​and-​sour chicken dishes. Neither of them could finish because the chicken was so hard and old and overcooked. I got a combo plate with my uncle and we divided up what was edible between all of us because the kids had nothing to eat that they could chew through. The fried rice tasted really weird and greasy and I don’t know how to explain it but dirty. We aren’t really complainers so the waitress noticed that nobody wanted to eat their sweet-​and-​sour chicken and asked us if we didn’t like it we all kind of shrugged and that was all that was said about it. Never going back.

I don’t understand why they don’t have more stars. There food is very good. Its more Americanized chinese but still very good. Best hot and sour soup around. Is fresh made to order. Best crab Rangoons. Best egrolls. Got some shrimp susu. Delish! I usually eat in the dining room it’s decorated nice

Wow. So I’ve always defended this place because it sorta reminds me of Kowloon… I wish I’d read Sarah’s Unilocal review earlier. I kept seeing the sign for the dinner Buffet and so I raced from work. Got here at 8:15pm, the sign advertises it’s open til 9. The front desk guy was pretty rude and said the same thing as the previous review — they only set it up if it is asked for — he then proceeded to say I should get there before 8:30pm if I really want it — I said «well it’s now 8:19 and we’ve been chatting for 4 minutes»
I walked out out then walked back in and attempted to order off the regular menu — I was going to get a combination but was told if I wanted more chicken fingers instead of the wings it would cost $ 1.50 more to substitute — I was already paying $ 16.00 and hadn’t even gotten to drinks yet — he did nothing to try to satisfy it — and then, I asked for a manager and Brian said «he didn’t read emails» — I said «well maybe you should read your Unilocal reviews because I’m not the first upset about the false advertising» — someone else can get my business.

Saw a sign advertising Buffet! 5 – 9 or whatever. Sounds great, not so much. Walked in and the chick posted up on her rear in the waiting area scrolling her fb newsfeed on whatever smart phone «there is no buffet, we only set it up if people ask for it.» …makes sense right? Confused when your building is promoting it. Lies.

Pros: karaōke, not having to dress up, location.
Cons: parking, bad drinks, rascal like crowd.
I’ll go back.

I’m simply tacking another 2 star review onto this oversized dive bar that calls itself a restaurant. Unilocal has this one down to a tee. Do not eat anything, the food is awful. All of it. The only people who would eat this stuff are the regulars who drink themselves dumb and need something to soak up their insides. The drinks are strong and the prices for them jacked up.
They have karaōke 7 nights a week, it’s packed solid on the weekends and this is where they make all their money. The service is friendly, but slow and inefficient, On a Friday night they had one waitress for literally 30 people, so the slowness is on management for not having enough people on rather than the waitstaff itself. Come for the karaōke with a big group, other than that stay away.

This place needs a total revamp. I’ve been here several times and it’s a quintessential dive bar. If you drive by on most nights (and some days, sadly) you can see the crowd of people that frequent this place standing around the front entrance smoking or chatting. The staff is a bit rough around the edges and not very personable, but the manager and one of the bartenders are really nice guys. One of them even remembers me after I asked him how to make a certain drink he didn’t know of and always asks me if I want it whenever I go in. They have karaōke as well, which is entertaining to say the least and a dance floor. The food is typical Chinese food and there’s not much special about it but inexpensive. The strangest thing about this place is that they serve their scorpion «bowls» in solo cups, not traditional bowls, because according to the staff they get stolen if they are given out.

On too many occasions, I have defended the Yee from neighbors and friends who have said «yuck» or «gross» when we said we were headed to the Yee for a changeup in our usual Chinese food selections. After eating there today, their statements were no longer propaganda but they were speaking the truth. We went for the Saturday buffet today and it went like this:
As we entered the restaurant, the man at the front desk was coughing hard into his hand. He was coughing hard and was on the verge of hacking. He grabbed our menu’s and led us to our table. I will give them the 1 star for the fact that our table was clean. He placed the menus on the table and I told my wife not to touch them because of the coughing incident we didn’t need them because we were getting the buffet. Well we waited for a while for the hostess to order drinks but it took so long that we just got up and got our plates and food.
The Crab Rangoon in the buffet was in between the cold and warn stage. I’m confident that they were leftovers from the night before that had been refrigerated and placed in the warming pans. The pork fried rice tasted like a deep cigarette smell. You could actually taste cigarettes in the rice. My wife had to spit out here broccoli that was in a chicken dish because it had a very fishy taste. She tried another piece and confirmed the fishy taste and put that plate aside. The chicken wings were tasteless and had a hint of old fryolater grease. You know what I mean about frying grease that has been used a few times to many. The Little chicken teriyaki was not to impress as it actually tasted Rancid. The boneless pork strips were decent but were much to fatty.
Back to the drinks, we both ordered cokes. They were good until my wife found a fly on the side of her glass.
We paid our bill and left never to return again. My defense of the Yee to friends and neighbors in the past will never happen again. I should have listened. Don’t waste your money going there and don’t risk your health.

Very disappointed by the advertising outside of this restaurant. I was drawn in by the fact that they had karaōke 7 – 9 and decided to stop in with my friend to shake off a hard week of work with some lighthearted karaōke performances. Upon entering, the atmosphere was decent, but very quiet. I was then informed that I wasn’t able to enter due to the fact that I was under 21. Disappointed, I walked back towards my car and happened to see a someone clearly younger than me leaving. I’m slightly disappointed to say the least.

I came here to eat in the dining area rhe other night. The first thing that happened after walking in the door was the rude host DEMANDED to see our I. D’s even though we had no intentions of going in the bar. We told him this, and he pointed to a waiter who was standing awkwardly behind us.
We were seated in a completely empty dining room. Our waiter was good. He was quick and attentive without being annoying. He brought us over tea and menus right away. We ordered a pupu platter for 2 and a side of lo-​mein. The food was all out in under ten minutes. No joke. I’m not sure if this is a good thing because our chicken wings were slightly undercooked. There was so much of everything else that we didn’t really care UNTIL we found this black curly hair in the lo-​mein. Ewwwww. We said something to the waiter and he brought us out more and we still had to pay for it.
Also, the bathrooms here are freaking disgusting. I walked into the ladies room and saw a sink that was so clogged with some unidentifiable stuff that it was about to overflow onto the floor. One of the stalls was out of order and one of the other ones had crap stains on the wall.
Not exactly a good dining experience. The place was completely empty so there is no excuse that I can think of to leave a bathroom in that condition. I have gotten the take-​out here before this and it’s always been pretty good with no hairs or undercooked food so if i ever come back I’ll stick to the take-​out.

This is «The Yee» folks so don’t expect anything fancy. This is a local dive that is always a primo spot for a laugh and a HUGE scorpion bowl… Or should I say pitcher.
The food is nothing special but it fills the drunken hole after a scorpion bowl pitcher. The place is always crazy busy on the bar side after 8pm but you’ll find a seat on the other side of the restaurant.
Oh — Also be prepared to hear some hilarious renditions of your favorite songs being butchered karaōke style on stage.
All in all a fun dove to get a killer drink but don’t come expecting anything but that.
Oh one time I did see two prostitutes get in a fight outside — dinner and a show. What more could you want?!

Had to write a review after being treated so poorly today on January 2, 2014.
Friends of mine came to Manchester for a hilariously dumb ghetto photoshoot featuring me in cornrows and shorts in the middle of the blizzard of 2014. I looked like an idiot. Decided to come here for some funny shots and to eat some lo mein.
Checked out the bar and dirty looks galore, but that was expected from the blue collar middle aged fare who go to Chinese restaurant bars at 3PM. Not the Yee’s fault. Whatever. I’m used to looking like a dumbass. But I’m always a POLITE dumbass.
We’re just kinda standing around the lobby, waiting for anyone to acknowledge us. Who I presume is the owner pipes up, «You have to have IDs to go in there!»
«ok, we just want to have some food and drinks,» we say.
«You have to have IDs!» says owner
«yeah, we get it. can we see a menu?»
«There’s a guy who has been waiting for you this whole time! *points to nondescript, quiet-​as-​a-​mouse employee behind us* Go with him!!!»
Wow, what a RUDE DUDE. There’s like 5 people in your restaurant. Why are you acting like we’re inconveniencing you? To note, our waiter was extremely pleasant and I wish I had read his name on the name tag to give him props. Thank you, waiter, for being kind and unobtrusive during our silly pictures and for giving us proper service.
We order a piña colada, some other drink, lo mein, and wonton soup. Waiter takes our IDs, checks them, leaves. Then, the blonde bartender coolly walks over to our table and demands our IDs again. She says, «I don’t care if you’ve already shown them, I’m the one making your drinks,» checks them, then walks off without saying a word. I would not have given a damn if she had asked politely. Her holier-​than-​thou and unapologetic demeanor was unacceptable. Because I’m younger than you and wearing shorts and Timberlands in a blizzard means I deserve to have you talk to me like I’m the underage Elephant Man?
Wonton soup tasted like nothing. Lo mein was mediocre. Go to Heng Won for takeout in Manchester.
You know what, I’m sorry if your staff are a jaded and tired lot from being treated poorly by other guests, but customer service goes a long way when you serve entirely underwhelming food. Be weary of young kids who are internet savvy because we’ll TALK. Treat customers like people and not parasites. What happened to smiling?

This is the absolute worst tasting Chinese food I’ve ever had, most of the food was over cooked and tasted like 5 spice was dumped all over it, the lack of cats in the area shoulda been my first clue, the outside of the place had knee high grass growing outta the sidewalks, going into the place, food on the floors, ceiling tiles missing, dirt and dust all over the lights, empty sugar packets stuffed into the seat crevice where you sit, after seated and our drinks came, we didn’t see the waitress till about 15 mins after we were done eating, never got offered a refill, this is the first time I ever did not tip, this place is disgusting

The food is nothing to rave about, but the portions are huge and very filling. The rice is not exactly the best, but it’s edible. They do have a buffet during the afternoon, and that is pretty cheap if you’re hungry. At night, they usually have people who are really drunk and trashy. It’s a good place to get messed up quick.
The service is nice, though. I love the manager. He always talks to me whenever I’m there.
