Yummy House

"Crowds still clamber to fill the seats at this spacious, no-frills eatery, whose sizable menu presents ample options for a range of tastes. Diners can find contentment with familiar American-Chinese staples, like orange chicken and salt-and-pepper fried calamari (or tofu). However, dishes like clay pot-braised fish have their own unique, earthy appeal. During lunch hours you’d be well-advised to select from the separate dim sum menu, which features typical bites like dumplings and turnip cakes, as well as sweet regional specialties like pineapple buns and Hong Kong-style egg tarts.Thanks to the popularity of the original, a number of offshoots can be found throughout southern Florida, including a more upscale one in South Tampa." - Michelin Inspector

This was our first visit and we were all impressed and satisfied with our meals. Our server was very kind and provided good options and descriptions of all the entrees. I rated the food 4 stars just because the amount of my order seemed small for the price. However I must admit, the food very very tasty. I have nothing negative to say about the food, service and atmosphere.

We had dim sum and the beef chow fun and cashew chicken. The food was excellent for the most part and service was faster and friendlier than expected for a casual dim sum restaurant. The beef chow fun was so good that I had to beg my husband to leave me some, haha! For the dim sum, I especially liked the turnip cake, duck and clams with black bean sauce. My only disappointment is that the beef tripe is cooked very differently than the standard dim sum offering. However, I think they still deserve a 5 star rating because all other dishes were excellent.

Our experience began when our party went to wash our hands upon arrival. We had both men and women in our party and everyone who entered your restrooms were SHOCKED with the conditions, which are in disrepair and skeevy. Restrooms are not only part of the environment but also an extension of your hospitality and should be brought to code and repaired immediately. We heard that Yummy House was the #1 Chinese restaurant in Tampa and was excited to experience the food. We ordered several dishes and appetizers for the table to share. The food was okay, and did not meet or exceed our expectations. The service was fine, not remarkable. One thing that truly disappointed me was our order of assorted seafood fried rice, which was supposed to include crab, shrimp and scallops—there was no identifiable crab meat in the rice and small sized shrimp and scallops (small meaning THE SMALLEST) which ruined my experience. You should never use tiny shrimp for fried rice. This business seems to be successful enough not to be so cheap that tiny shrimp are used in fried rice, and with tiny shrimp, scallops and no crab meat— my dining experience was ruined. We were underwhelmed and will not return.

Had high expectation for Yummy House since it has a Michelin star, but honestly left pretty disappointed. I’ve been to three of their locations (check my other reviews), and this one was the worst so far. The hot & sour soup had no flavor—had to ask them to redo it with more seasoning. Dim sum was meh, some dishes even came out overcooked. Duck was probably the best thing we had. Salted egg bun, which I usually love, was mushy this time. Service was also slow overall. Definitely not the experience I was hoping for from a Michelin-rated spot.

Amazing dim sum! We came here for the first time to try their dim sum, and it did not disappoint. All the dim sum food we ordered were good. What I like most especially is their customer service. We’ve been to several dim sum restaurants and almost all the time the customer service is not good and chaotic atmosphere. But Yummy House is different. They are organized, you come in, put your name on the waiting list kiosk, and the attendant called us with a smile. Our server came to us right away and checked on us often to see if we needed anything else. The atmosphere is also very nice and calm. We loved the food and the experience. We will definitely be back here again. Thank you

This was my first Dim Sum Experience and already had a line before it opened up. I loved the food, but did feel a little rush getting in and seated. If you’re an introvert or get overstimulated easily I would not chose this option. That said, my son was welcomed and hubby loved the food… I will go back, but not going to get the main dish and just stick to the Dumplings because it’s like a sushi with the paper and x marks.

The food is almost the same as the one on Dale Mabry, like the service here better though. No pics but it all looks the same. I really like their Bistro Fried Rice. Lunch specials are great deals compared to Chinese takeout places, the food is way better.

When you ask for takeout boxes, do you check if they are clean? Today, when I finished my meal, I asked them to take out 3 takeout boxes. When I put the food into the boxes, I was about to close the boxes and found that my hands were covered with white plastic. It was terrible. The other two boxes were the same. The food I was going to take home was also covered with plastic particles! I explained the situation to the waitress and she told the front desk manager. I saw the waitress's face turned red when she was scolded by the front desk manager. I knew it was not her fault! The waitress told me that the manager would come but I waited for a long time. Then the manager asked me if you want to make a new one or return it. The manager didn't apologize for this matter at all, so I chose to return it! I used to come here often with my family to eat, but today the attitude of the manager made me choose not to come back again. Once again remind everyone to check the meal boxes! Also, pay attention to the tips! They have added 18% tips but did not tell the guests when paying. I suspect they use this method to get guests to pay more tips! I have already paid about 35 yuan in tips today. If this had not happened, I would not have looked at the bill seriously.

Dim sum for lunch. Great to share - large restaurant with plenty of seating. It was super quiet for lunch, We had congee, buns, shumai and sticky rice , it was all delicious and super fresh. Slow-ish service during lunch but they may have been understaffed.

Overpriced. Over oiled. Bad service. Braised eggplant & turnip cakes were so oily. The duck & pork buns were ok. $70 for a lunch for 2? Never again.

Came here during our visit to Tampa , of course when the craving for chine food came about. First impression was the place was clean and ambiance was nice. We started with hit and sour soup and that was how it should be, it even had shrimp and pork bits. The honey walnut shrimp was delicious but the chicken curry was a bit sweet. The eggplant with sauce tasted a little bland and the sauce too watery.. the rest was okay, salt and pepper squid and noodles.

Very nice atmosphere, quick to seat you. Parking lot looks busy but it's big inside and there was no wait. Nice decor. Food took a little while to come out and it doesn't come out at the same time. This is good and bad because one person is eating hot food and others are waiting. The veggie fried rice was a disappointment but other dishes were given a "mmm mmmm this is great" on first bite.

Overall, comparing this restaurant from the SF Bay Area made this restaurant rating a little lower. For the price they were charging, I would expect the food to taste better. - Food: Vegetable fried rice was a little dry but flavor was good. Salt & pepper seasoning went well with the fried tofu flavor but presentation-wise, a smaller plate would have made it look less empty. Egg rolls were pretty small and flavor didn't taste great. Siu mai flavor was not bad compared to the SF Bay Area. - Service: on par with a normal dim sum restaurant - Ambiance: family friendly

authentic dim sum on a sunday! delicious food, efficient service, and a comfortable atmosphere. i was delighted to find this place and taste real cantonese-style cuisine. on a sunday afternoon, it was packed--super busy with a small lot. however, the wait time was surprisingly minimal and once seated our dishes came quickly. everything was super tasty and i can't wait to make this a regular spot!

One of THE most authentic Chinese restaurants in Tampa. Whether its the entrees or dim sum this place is top tier. Obviously you can't feed take out customers real chinese because they don't know the difference and likely judge based on price. Salt and Pepper Shrimp or Pork Chops are a wonderful start. Then the dim sum carts have something for everyone! Hot dogs, pork sui mai, shrimp balls and even soup dumplings. I've been all over the world and love coming home to this!

I've been here before, primarily for dim sum. My wife and I took some friends and their kids for lunch and Yummy didn't disappoint! Usually it's crowded on a Saturday for lunch but it wasn't this time. Nice! We ordered shunting, fried shrimp balls, pork ribs in bean sauce and some regular entrees like salt and pepper pork and their fried rice. Oh so good! The prices are reasonable and the amount they provide is filling. The service is quick and helpful. The restaurant is clean and modern. They have a bar which looks well stocked. Parking lot offers a lot of spaces but those spaces seem tight and small. Overall, this is the best dim sum in Tampa. Check them out!

Best fried rice! This place has ruined all other Chinese food for my family. We drive 25 miles to eat at this restaurant and never regret it.

I really enjoyed this restaurant! Six of us went to dinner and enjoyed this place a lot! The portions were plentiful for our group AND so affordable for all that we got! When we first arrived, they offered us pineapple buns from their dim sum menu (which is not available during dinner hours) as we read through the menu. After coordinating what we were all going to eat (note: this is family style, which makes it better to try more things), we began to order our food. We had potstickers (not shown) and egg rolls (not shown) first and they were delicious! Perfect for when we were waiting for all the dishes. We enjoyed our beef lo mein, chicken fried rice, garlic chicken, sesame chicken, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, and Szechuan style pork. My absolute favorite was the Peking duck! I very much enjoyed my birthday dinner and can't wait to return one day to try out their dim sum!

I lived in China for a bit, and I've had several friends who have as well. We all LOVE Yummy House! It's the most authentic Chinese food around, and I've never had a bad dish here. I absolutely recommend going for family style dining and trying lots of things (one per person is more than enough). You can't go wrong with the veggie of the day or the lotus root, and any of the sizzling pots are slammin'. Staff are great, and I've never had a bad service experience. I highly recommend!

Dim sum only served during lunch. Doesn't specify on Yelp so we wasted our time and gas.

We always come here when we visit Tampa. Good Chinese food and always good service. We got the salt and pepper squid, house fried rice, and orange chicken. Love the squid, the chicken was okay. We'll definitely come back again

The service was great here, servers were efficient and kind. Atmosphere was busy but relaxed and enjoyable. The food was good, we enjoyed dim sum dishes and the orange chicken and sesame chicken. My one gripe is well, it doesn't really taste like what I know orange and sesame chicken to be. (My only claim to Chinese food knowledge is growing up in Northern Virginia so take this with a grain of salt, but neither dish had the distinctive flavors I'm used to.) The sesame chicken tasted like breaded honey chicken with sesame seeds on top, no dark, tangy, sesame flavor. The orange chicken tasted kinda similar, smelled a little like funnel cake, sweet, with little bits of mandarin fruit scattered throughout. It was good, I'd eat here again, but I don't really consider it to serve those dishes (as I know them) and am still looking for my go-to sesame chicken place!

Came here on a Friday afternoon, after the lunch crowd and the place still had a few people. This is a large place and able to accommodate large parties. As we were seated one thing I noticed right away was a Dim Sum ( YAY!!) menu in addition to the regular & lunch Menu. The Dim Sum menu was not extensive but had the usual faves, Har-Gow, Shu-mei, Rice Rolls and Egg Tarts to name a few. Unfortunately no carts but still nice having Dim Sum available. On this visit, Dim Sum was our food choice and did not disappoint. The dim - sum were nice sizes, served hot and was very good. One of the better dim-sum's I have had in the central Florida area. The place does close down after the lunch hour (2:30PM) and it was nice we were not rushed out since lunch service was already over ( we didn't finish until aprox 2:50PM) Service was attentive and provided suggestions when asked. I will be adding this location in my rotation, one to visit again.

Food was delicious. I had the Spicy yummy chicken. Chicken was tender, asparagus and mushrooms were plentiful. Sauce was amazing! First timer and will be back! Server was attentive and very nice.

I was shocked as to how crowded Yummy House was. It was the middle of the day and we waited for 40 min. I recommend coming during the week if possible, if you can't then the 40 min wait was worth it. The service was attentive and helpful in understanding how this restaurant works. I like how you can order your main dishes with your server while they have someone coming around with a cart offering you dim sum. To me that seems to be the most efficient way because we got our dim sum right away and didn't have to wait for our server who is already busy with such a crowd. The dim sum was delicious, one of the best that I've tried. For our main meal we ordered fried rice and the OX beef. The OX beef could have used a bit more seasoning but overall the beef and fried rice were tasty. Overall we had a great experience and worth the 40min wait. I 100% recommend, especially since they are features on the Michelin guide

Great Chinese food restaurant option in Tampa. We we're hoping to have dim sum here but they only serve dim sum until 3pm I believe on weekends so we got their dinner entrees instead. Our waitress spoke Mandarin which was a plus and provided excellent recommendations. Service was great. We got the Buddha Delight which was vegetarian, hot and sour soup, drunken noodles, and fried rice. The options we relatively Americanized but still good. Would come back to try their dim sum.

We stumbled upon Yummy House China Bistro on a weekday and decided to give it a try. There was a bit of a wait for our party of 12 on a Friday, but it was well worth it. Once seated, the employees were very attentive and helpful, ensuring our water cups never sat empty. The dim sum we ordered was very fresh and delicious, with everything arriving steaming hot. We had no complaints about any of the dishes. We will definitely be back.

The food at yummy house is amazing restaurant with plenty of vegetarian options. We had the veggie lomein, veggie fried rice and tofu. Everything is delicious and the portions are great. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to have authentic Chinese food. The service is top notch and the family style dining makes it a great experience for everyone.

I had high hopes for this place. First of all, I want to be clear that I was looking for American Chinese food. Not authentic dim sum. My girlfriend and sister concur in the 2/5 judgement. We ordered online on their website and it was seamless. When we arrived, the place was packed. There were 4 staff members diligently filling orders. Our large order was 100% correct. First, the wonton soup was not bad. It was flavorful and the wontons were tender and delicious. I did not personally eat the Kung Pao Chicken but my girlfriend and sister referred to it as "trash" and "bland." I will say it looks like a healthy choice. I had the orange chicken. I would describe it as carnival food. It was akin to a funnel cake with an orange marmalade sauce. Not very flavorful. It was more like a not so sweet dessert than the sweet and savory treat I was craving. The house lo mein was not bad. The flavor of the noodles were delicious but it had pieces of chewy pork. The calamari in the lo mein was unique and special. Overall, disappointing but edible. Maybe the dim sum is good and we just got the wrong things.

We were excited to try the restaurant but disappointed in the food. The orange chicken tasted more like a dessert. Not like any other orange chicken we've ever ordered. House rice was flavorless as was the chicken and broccoli. Sticky rice wasn't sticky funny but true. Dumplings were ok i guess; edible. Egg rolls were ok. Not bad. Overall not impressed. Th

Yummy House China Bistro's website literally says "Best Chinese Restaurants in Florida". It's not only a clever way to make sure the place pops up when someone Googles that but it also rings true. My wife and I had a short date night here and left impressed with the food. My wife and I needed a date night. Yummy House China Bistro seemed like a good place and we both are fans of Chinese. The reviews and research I did all said this place off Hillsborough Blvd was the best around. I made a reservation. I do suggest you make one too. My wife and I arrived to Yummy House for our 5pm reservation a few minutes early. A few cars were parked around but there were plenty of places to park. There was a line at the door. A handful of people were waiting for the clock to strike 5 and be the first in line. When an employee finally opened the door, people started exiting their cars. It was like waiting to get into a theme park or Best Buy on Black Friday. Well, not really, but still, this place had people waiting for them to open. That's a sign of the good food to come. I'm not sure we needed our reservation, but I let the host know we had one. We were seated and our server was around quick. She offered waters and we looked over the menu. Based on the website, I felt like this place would have been fancier on the inside. I expected a whole different vibe. Instead, the place is super simple. Concrete floors. Paper tablecloths. Two rows of tables lined a long room. A big window let a lot of natural light in. It wasn't cozy or refined. It was good enough. We looked over the menu and each picked out what we wanted. We got the crispy egg rolls for an appetizer. We initially were each going to order the chicken we wanted but after talking to the server, we realized the food is served family style. Everything is super large portions. One order of the Sesame Chicken was enough for us each to have two servings at dinner and had lunch for the next day. Same with the rice. One order of pork fried rice to share. The egg rolls were up quick. These were smaller than I expected them to be and looked more like spring rolls. My idea of an egg roll is bigger, crunchier and deep fried. These were small, slightly crispy with thin wonton wrapping. They were good though. We each got two. They were filled with savory, soft veggies. No meat. The dipping sauce they came with reminded me of duck sauce. It was sweet and made for a perfect balance of crispy egg roll to sweet, thick dipping sauce. Then came the two plates, one with the chicken and one with fried rice. From there, we spooned the food to our individual plates. The chicken was really good. Think about the last time you got takeout Chinese food from the place around the corner or tucked in the strip mall between the grocery store and the family dollar. Now think about that chicken being all white meat chicken, large chunks in a fresh, crispy, light fried breading. It was exactly as it should be. It came out piping hot and was well sauced. The honey sesame sauce was sweet and savory. It had the consistency of honey and clung to the meat smothering each bite in flavor. Adorned about was bits of steamed broccoli. There could have been more of those but that's a minor complaint. The fried rice was the best bbq pork fried rice we've ever had. It had small bits of bqq pork in it, enough to give it a strong flavor and a heartiness of its own. The eggs, green onion and cilantro added depth and consistency that was perfect. They had multiple different fried rice dishes to choose from, from chicken, pork, shrimp, you name it. You need to get the fried rice. All in all, I'd say check out Yummy House. This Chinese food restaurant does it right. The service was prompt and friendly, the food was fantastic and generously portioned. Well worth it.

Probably will return. We had a take out a few months ago - I didn't realize it wasn't posted. Here they're - two dishes for take out were very sweet and I wouldn't return again. Today 2023.7.07, we came here again with our friends who love them. Decor: Simple and clean. Service is good but you need to raise your hand and keep it up in the air for a while. We've - Beijing duck - so so - pea tips with garlic - good - Mongolian beef - ok - spicy fish eggplant pot - not bad. The temperature is on the cold side. The Peking duck isn't really a Peking duck, just a cooked duck. The creep is thick hard and cold. The scallion is fresh, but no cucumber . They've a wine list.

Chinese Food Paradise in Tampa! My wife and I moved from Atlanta to Tampa earlier this year and have been looking for a great Chinese restaurant in the Tampa area. We decided on a last minute wim to give Yummy House China Bistro this evening for dinner. It was about a 15 mile drive from where we live so we were hoping that it would be worth the drive. When we arrived it was completely packed with about 25 to 30 people also waiting for tables (next time we will plan in advance and make a reservation) - usually you dont see this type of mass crowd at Chinese restaurants so we were intrigued by the popularity. We put our name on the waiting list and it was about 1 hour before we were seated so by this point we were really hoping it was going to be worth the long drive and wait. Even though they had a lot of very interesting appetizers and entrees we decided to go with things we usually get at Chinese restaurants so we could really compare the food to the other 150 or so Chinese restaurants we have tried throughout the country. We started off with the crispy egg rolls (next time we will try one of their famous salt and pepper appetizers such as salt and pepper shrimp or salt and pepper eggplant) and we also ordered the egg drop soup. For our entrees we ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and Mongolian Beef. First we got the crispy egg rolls (these are vegetable only egg rolls), they were piping hot, not greasy, and in my opinion were just the right size for a small appetizer to start off with for 2 people. The sauce they provided with the egg rolls was extremely flavorful and was definitely a premium style sauce and not something out of a jar. Next we got the egg drop soup--normally at Chinese restaurants the soups can be good at best but are usually nothing spectacular. In this case the egg drop soup was spectacular--the extremely flavorful yet clean taste and texture were way above any egg drop soup we have ever had at any other Chinese restaurant--it was definitely not the routine egg drop soup you usually expect to receive at Chinese restaurants. It was so different and so good that I will definitely be trying all their other soups in the future and will probably also be ordering addl soup to take home. Next our entrees. 1 bite of each and I was instantly hooked. The Kung Pao Chicken was perfectly cooked, very fragrant, very clean and not greasy/oily at all and it had a unique extra flavor profile unlike other Kung Pao's I have had in the past. None of the vegetables were over-cooked and it was simply perfect. The Mongolian Beef was equally as good. You could tell instantly that the beef they used was definitely much higher quality than the usual used at most Chinese restaurants. The flavor was just right and not too sweet and had a vast richness of flavor to it with plenty of punch--Mongolian Beef the way it should be. To sum up out of the 150 or so Chinese restaurants we have tried in NY, LA, SF, Atlanta, Tampa and other places across the country this is definitely the best of them all. Definitely worth the drive and any wait (if you dont have a reservation). My wife and I look forward to returning and trying everything else on the menu!

Hadn't been here in quite some time looking for good Chinese food. It was not what we remembered. The service was very good and the hot and sour soup excellent but the the rest of the food was just ok. Its hard to expect good Chinese food outside of New York City.

Love coming here when in the mood for higher end Chinese food that's not your typical take out. We always get the Spicy Yummy Chicken and Pineapple fried rice. Good portions always cooked to perfection. Went in for dim sum during lunch hour on a weekday. Wasn't too busy. They didn't have those carts they have on weekends so it took some time for the food to come out. Thoroughly enjoyed all the different items!

Opted for the seafood fried rice with spicy xo sauce. I guess it's a pretty special sauce, as my brother wanted some on his house fried rice and it was a $3 upcharge. I wouldn't say it was really spicy but it had a lot of flavor and was delicious. We also tried the egg rolls as a starter. They were ok, pretty typical egg rolls but the rice was REALLY good. Service was friendly and fast. Very casual place and plenty of parking.

Love meeting friends for dim sum on a Sunday always crowded. We always order salt and pepper calamari and pea shoots. We love the assorted dim sum from the carts - different dumplings and we always end with the pineapple buns Just wish there was a location in Pinellas

Yesterday several of us met up at Yummy House for lunch. When we arrived there were 20 people waiting in a line outside. That is always a good sign. 30 minutes later we were seated. There were two options for eating. You can order off the menu if you prefer the Dim Sum service, where carts parade food through the restaurant & you pick what you like. I chose the other option & ordered off the menu & chose Mongolian Beef. When my plate arrived the food smelled fantastic. The taste was equally as great. The meat was tender & not fatty or gristly. The serving was large & delicious. The food was excellent. Unfortunately the service was lacking. Our waitress never returned to check on us or refill water glasses. Despite that, I'd return for the excellent food.

Heard great things and always looking for the next best Chinese food restaurant. While this is a really nice place with a large open interior and great service, the food is good but not fantastic. The listed egg rolls are really spring rolls but they were hot and fresh. The fried wontons were also good but not the best we've ever had and the dipping sauce bland. The Salt & Pepper wings were good, very crisp and hot so that's a plus one. The scallops and shrimp in black bean sauce was tasty but very lite in the scallop and shrimp portions. The chicken fried rice was bland and again very lite in the chicken portion. Malaysia chow fun was ok just bland and again lite in the meat and fish portions. The pork dish was the stand out of the night. What white rice with your food, well that's a dollar extra per person which makes no sense. Give it a try you may enjoy it

Come early or make a reservation because this place gets packed! We decided to wait out the 40 minute wait time and it was worth it. The food was delicious and fresh, and from what we heard from others it was authentic. My favorite part was the carts that come around with the dumplings, buns, shrimp balls and more. It's like being a kid in a candy store! My favorite was the honey bbq pork buns and shumai. We also got the fried rice and XO steak. I decided to try to XO sauce because on the menu it said it was a unique, pricey sauce but honestly I didn't find it to be that special or different. I definitely will be back!

We had dim sum here today. Food is a little pricey for the portions. What we ordered: Chicken feet - advertised as being stewed in black bean sauce. There wasn't a black bean in sight (or taste). In fact, there was very little flavour in this dish, which sadly, summed up the food in general. Sui mai - meaty, but not much flavour, Shanghai dumplings: a little scallion & ginger flavour. But could have used more. Shrimp stuffed eggplant: shrimp portion tasted great, but the sauce was just watery and brownish, adding nothing to the eggplant. Pan fried turnip cake: nice consistency with some tasty bits (loo cheong?) Summary? Mediocre & not worth what we paid.

The food was much better than the ambiance. We entered at evening opening time (5:00 p.m.), so we were the first at our table for the evening. Thus, there was no excuse for the streak of dried gravy on the pepper shaker, or the small holes in the plastic tablecloth. The food was very good, except for the broth of the wonton soup which was much too salty. The dumplings in the wonton were excellent though. Some attention to detail front of house, and this could potentially earn 5-stars.

We ordered orange chicken on door dash and it was terrible , it has a bad taste to it we could not eat it . It's weird because we have had orange chicken there before and loved it . Not sure what happened today The chicken lo mien was good . But we wasted like 20 dollars on orange chicken that was inedible ...

A friend and I went here on a Saturday. I kept hearing great things about this place and figured it was time to try it out...parking lot was packed and you had to sign it at a Kiosk to wait for your table. It was around 20 minutes and that was with empty tables in dining area..short staffed perhaps? Not sure.. Offered a few menus and were looking at Lunch and she took the menus and said no lunch, guess not on a Saturday, keep those in another place for next time then.....once seated carts come around for you to order Dim Sum and Buns, etc. server took drink order and then took food order shortly after..I kid you not, food was delivered in less 5 minutes...it was served hot. Ordered Shrimp and Pork Dim Sum, we found it to have a very odd taste and the consistency was unappealing and we did not eat...ordered the House Fried Rice and the Beef Chow Fun, portions were very plentiful...Rice was different from what we usually get but the flavor was very good. The Chow Fun was not good, Noodles were gummy and sticky and I know the food has to be sitting in containers and is warmed up..not cooked fresh or would not have been there in less than 5 minutes... service, there was none, dropped food and never came back...after hearing such great things this was a let down all the way around, would I come back and give it a try again? No just the food coming out that fast and as crowded as it is in there and the gummy sticky noodles are a big no here..

Fantastic place!! Had dinner one night and lunch following day for dim sum. I think dinner was better. Dim sum was good but but on the expensive side. But glad we tried it.

I've been a fan of Yummy House for years and always enjoyed both the service and the quality of the meal. Sadly, went with another couple this past weekend and found it less than ideal. We got the salt and pepper seafood combo, which was outstanding. Really good quality and really enjoyed the salt and pepper seasoning. After that, it went downhill as service was very sporadic and never the same server, we had to ask for drinks refills and when the meals came, they just did not taste fresh or good. We took home leftovers, but decided to throw them away as we did not find them worth eating. Hopefully this will be a one off as happens sometimes , and going forward. everything will be outstanding as it has been in past visits.

Yummy House has been on my list for quite some time. Thought it would be a great place to celebrate my parents 38 year anniversary. It was a party of 11 and everyone's first time. I've heard so many great things about the food and the place. So it was a must for me. Well... 3 stars was like pulling teeth for me. I wanted to give 2. But there were a few good things. Let's start with the few good things. 1. The chicken fried rice was bomb. So good. Everyone really enjoyed it. 2. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was very tasty. As well as the chicken lo mien. Now for the not so good. The service was horrible. The young lady they had taking care of us gave 0 effort. So unfortunate. Because we are all very good tippers. And all she got was what was calculated based on the size of our party. Then the temp of the food was not good. It was barely warm. That was so disappointing especially since it's served Family Style. I had very high expectations. Only because I've heard such good things about this place. Will I return? Probably not.

This place had some bomb dim sum and Chinese food. My cousins and I went on a random weekday and this place was packed. The shumai, rice crepe, hargow, shrimp dumplings, sweet buns, and other traditional dim sum dishes were on point. I would avoid the Xiao Long Bao soup dumplings. The inside of the XLB's didnt have a lot of meat or soup. Prices are fair and service was really quick. The location itself is very clean and you can order traditional dishes during lunch time as well. Noise level is low and they have seating for large parties. I see why they are voted one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area.

I wasn't too fond of the food here. The service was kind of lack, too. The servers seemed rushed, and in turn made me feel like I needed to rush. It wasn't overly busy, but they were watching to see who was done so they can clean up and wait for the next guests. What the place looks to be on the outside is certainly not what's on the inside. It was rundown and gross on the outside but nice on the inside. I ordered the curry and didn't like it at all. It was very bland and did t have much flavor. I also got the honey bun Dim Sum and that was good. The only thing that was good. I ordered iced tea, and it's a surprise I just didn't run home after drinking all that sugar. I was leaving with heart palpitations after drinking their tea. Not sure if I'll ever come back here. I don't like to feel rushed, and didn't care much for the food. The ambiance was nice.

Yummy house used to be a family favorite for so long but lately the food quality has been down. For my folks anniversary this year, my mom picked Yummy house. I made reservations and we were seated on time. Service was ok, i had to ask another server to fill my glass since ours didn't really come over that often. For food, we ordered our usual: salt & pepper calamari, Singapore noodles, sesame chicken and Mongolian beef. They def raised the prices by $2-3/entree and lowered the portion size. Mongolian beef was predominantly onions and scallions. It was def not the right dish because it wasn't stir-fried. I wanted to send it back but again, our server was no where to be found. Overall, it was ok meal. I think my folks are over Yummy house. Time to find a new fave
