Clean location and super nice staff! Prices have gone up recently and they changed the child pricing. However, we always go with the larger bowl and a to go box and get at least two meals out of our bowl. For 3 adults and 2 kids ( 2 and 4 year old) we paid about $75. One of the more expensive faster food options but great quality. We enjoy it here.

My brother requested coming here for this birthday meal with the family. We arrived here around 4:30 on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. We were able to walk right up to the counter and check-in. My mom saw they had a 10% senior citizen discount so you bet she and my dad used that lol. We were also able to pay the cheaper lunch price due to us coming before 5pm. The part where you actually pick out your food and try to pack it all in one bowl was only open on one side, but right when we walked up to it, a worker opened up the opposite side so we got first dibs, which was awesome. There are so many options from proteins, veggies, noodles, you name it! Also, sauces galore! I love that they display sauce recipes because when you're in front of several vats of liquids and you don't know what would go well with what, the recipes are life-savers. My game plan was basically pouring every non-spicy liquid in my sauce bowl and that was it lol. The fact that it wasn't as busy as it could've been helped with the actual cooking part too. We were able to hand our bowls over to the chefs and get our cooked food within a couple minutes. Everyone loved their meals! Also, in this economy, the prices aren't bad, considering how many meals you can get out of your bowl. Just be sure to bring your own take-out container if you don't want to pay 50 cents for one there. No complaints about the staff either! There are always workers wanting to help you choose your sauces and actually take your bowl and pour everything for you. Every time we come here, it's always a hit.

We came here for my little brother's 22nd birthday and had an amazing time. When you first walk in you're met by a nice host who will explain how everything works. After creating your bowl at the self serve frozen food bar, you take your bowl of treats back to the chef where you watch him work his magic. After a short wait and a free show you take your tray back to the comfy dining room. In the dining room you can find a self serve soup and rice station, fountain drinks, and even a soft sever ice cream machine. 10/10 recommend, not only did we have a great time but we have yummy left overs for tomorrow. THANK YOU STAFF OF YC's

Love this place. Lines were long but move quickly. Service is always top notch. Drink options are not good. Bring back Dr Pepper please.

Love the hot and fresh food, self selection service of ingredients, and chefs cooking in front of you Taste, food quality and value for money are good. Seating is ok. But I go there for my lunch many times.

Haven't been to a YC's in years! The food was good...just like I remember it at the original location in Tempe. They have definitely grown over the years. It was fun for the kids to customize their own bowls and flavors. They also enjoyed watching the guys cook it for them. The employees were awesome from the moment we walked in we were greeted and asked if we had ever been there before so they can explain it to us if we were newbies. When we were in line making our bowls there was someone there to help if you needed it, especially in the sauce area. That was really nice because it can be overwhelming with all the delicious flavors they offer. The rice soup and chip area was very clean. The soda, silverware and ice cream area was also very clean. While we were eating, there was an employee that also came in to check on us to see if everything was tasting good. Their bathrooms were very clean as well. Overall, this restaurant is nice and clean, the food was fresh and the employees were awesome and friendly. The only bummer is that back in the day of the ice cream machine area would have cones or cup selections. I guess they did away with the cones. :( Still a good, nice and casual family dinner experience.

I used to frequent YC's in my early working years as it was delicious, good for larger groups and near my work (frequented the Southern and McClintock location). Now most locations are gone but the Power and Ray location stands strong. If you are not familiar with the process, you order a bowl size from the hostess at the register when you enter. Small bowl is usually enough for a single meal. If you want 2 meals you can get a large and a to-go box. Next you enter the line where the ingredients to customize your bowl are lined up. There's two sides to prevent backup. The meat is chilled and sliced. There are about 15-20 veggie options and then 3 noodle options. Compacting your food with the wax paper and then piling the bowl up high is encouraged. Finally you can make your own sauce from about another 15 options. For those with food allergies, the workers welcome to help you and will pour the sauces from the original bottles to prevent any cross-contamination. Next you deliver the sauce and bowl to the chefs manning the hot plate. They will spread out and cook your food and recombine into a new bowl. It's a fun process to observe. Again for those with food allergies you can request them to clean the stone before cooking your food! There's also a station with rice, wonton chips, soups and sauces for even for food if your bowl isn't big enough! The dining area is pretty large with some natural lighting. There's also a patio! The only thing preventing 5-stars for me is the price. The small and large bowl are only $1 apart and both over $15. Several premium items may cost more as well. The froyo used to be free, but now it's only for dinner unless you want to pay. This if you are only getting one meal out of it...it may be pricy. If you plan for two meals it's very reasonable.

We come here often. Always great customer service and so clean. But the last 2 times the flavors have been off. I wish I could figure out how to make it saucier. I've done double sauce and it just doesn't seem to "stick". My noodles are dry. Oh well!

I love myself some good Mongolian BBQ!! First time trying YC's and it was amazing. Price includes drink and rice. They have a self service rice and soup station. Staff is friendly and keeps the lobby clean.

Great lunch today at YC's! The buffet line starts with proteins, then vegetables, noodles to choose from including a GF Rice Noodle then sauces! All items are labeled GF or if they include wheat! The restaurant is clean and everyone is so friendly! Everyone is greeted and thanked upon leaving!
