Mr. You Chinese Food | Our Story
One Montclair Counter
Mr. You started on Central Ave in Montclair with a single strip-mall counter and a simple promise: pile the food high, keep the prices honest. The cooking came out hot, fresh, and genuinely generous. No gimmicks, just good Chinese-American food at prices that made sense, and that promise hasn't changed.
Word of Mouth Over Marketing
Mr. You never ran a big ad campaign — it grew because people texted their friends and dragged their coworkers in. Families who first ate here two decades ago still make the drive back.
The Orange Chicken Fries
A cook in our Montclair kitchen threw orange chicken over fries one day, and the internet lost its mind. That's what happens when your staff feels free to experiment.
Loved by Locals
Reviewers still call out our staff by name and thank the Montclair team for staying open late so college students can grab a hot meal.
Your Spot
One guest called the portions "anti-inflationary" - you leave with more food than you expected at a price that still surprises you. For Montclair, Mr. You isn't just Chinese food. It's their spot.
