Uncle Yip's

A mini-trip to southern China tucked into an Evendale plaza. Uncle Yip's has been a favorite among Cincinnati's Cantonese food seekers for years, offering authentic Hunan, Sichuan, and Cantonese dishes far beyond sweet-and-sour standards. The twin lobster specials are legendary—check the board for daily preparations—and weekend dim sum brunch (11am–3pm) brings out the push carts for a true Hong Kong experience. Roast duck, rock salt pork chop, and stuffed eggplant with shrimp reward the adventurous eater, while a full bar stocked with Asian beers rounds out the experience. The owner personally ensures quality, and visitors from Guangdong say this is where they go to feel at home.
