People split hard on Yuu. Fans call the French Japanese tasting menu incredible and say the is the best they've had, with some very good bottles opened.

“Restaurant Yuu has good pairing for sure and they open sometimes open very premium bottles, but the food is just not worth traveling to Greenpoint for and makes me feel bad for the wines. I also found the service stiff and unpolished.”

“Thought it was great. A bit theatrical, my boyfriend and I laughed that we felt like we were in the menu (and I go to a lot of Michelin star places) but service was friendly and enjoyed all of the food. And it was a lot of food. Was stuffed by the end. Personally, think it’s worth it.”
