Meh...
We ate there Saturday for lunch and that's about all I can say...meh.
We walked in, party of 5, with no wait, around 12:30 pm. Y&Y appeared to be ready for a huge influx of guests, as there were tons of servers floating all over the restaurant. Nice because the service (for the most part) was spot on. However, there also were dozens upon dozens of empty tables, begging for guests to sit down and have a bite. It was a bit pitiful. We did have a bit of a strange situation where a waiter at the table next to us, when told by the family he was serving that one of the college aged girls in the party planned on entering the Disney College program this summer, went on and on and on and on about how the girl should not do it, that it's doesn't pay, that it's a waste of time, etc, etc, etc. I mean, aren't these people brainwashed not to rip Disney while at work? The girl seemed a bit put off and it really seemed to deflate her enthusiasm about the program. The guy was a real Debbie Downer...give the girl a break, already!
The room was OK, not as grand as it appears online. In fact, I thought for the size of the place, it was sparsely decorated and a bit underwhelming, especially seeing how well Disney does with so many of their other restaurants.
And now, the food. The food was, for lack of a better word, average. We ordered the potstickers, the Pho, the Shaoxing Steak & Shrimp, Stir-Fried Beef & Broccoli, and a steamed vegetable basket that isn't on the menu (for all you vegetarians). I'd rather not break them down one by one, as none of them really deserve the attention, but I'd like to point out an example of how "average" the meal was. The Pho: the broth was passable and it came with all of the accouterments they usually accompany a bowl of this traditional Vietnamese soups, but the shrimp was pathetically overcooked and rubbery. Instead of a few nice sized plump unpeeled shrimp (with all the flavor that they add), they threw in a bunch of tiny, pre-cooked, pre-peeled bay shrimp in it instead. I guess it could best be described as almost...but not quite.
Until I start hearing that the food getting better, we won't be trying it again.

Thanks for the review. It gives me 1 less restaurant to review for ADR's.
