Uncle Yu's at the Vineyard - Review - Livermore - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Old favorites are all over the menu at this Livermore Chinese spot, like spicy kung pao chicken, silky wonton soup, and flavorful tea-smoked duck. But you’ll also find updated dishes, like buttery lobster shumai, a fun and vibrant “pizzetta” of raw sliced salmon atop a crispy onion pancake, and warm goat cheese wontons that taste like a crab rangoon’s sophisticated older sister. This place lives up to the “vineyard” in its name with an excellent, lengthy wine list with bottles from around the world. We like the bright, lightly sweet albariño from Cellar 13, especially with anything spicy. The décor strikes a pleasant balance between elegant–think white tablecloths, stemware, and fresh flowers–and comfortable–with lots of booth seating and a bar with multiple TVs." - Gabi Moskowitz
