Yummy Yummy Asian Cuisine

DO NOT EAT HERE. DO NOT EAT HERE. DO NOT EAT HERE. Just moved into the neighborhood a few weeks ago. Was super excited to try this place. Ordered Spring Rolls and Crab Rangoons that were good! Then got my orange chicken with white rice. I counted 17 hairs before I finally gave up in the rice. Literally coated in black hairs from all angles. Not one or 2 hairs. Coated in black hairs. Waitress came by and I showed her and she said “sorry” instantly and took it away. No comment. Like it happens all the time. Paid 30$ for spring rolls and crab rangoons that seem like they were filled with nasty hair as well. Will never come back. I recommend you stay away as far as possible from this place. Seems like 80/20 takeout. Maybe they pick the hairs out before it goes for takeout. Sorry the photos are so weird. I took the video on Snapchat. Would love to share it with anyone that asks lol.

Has been my go to for take-out American Chinese food over the past few years. It feels like it used to be more consistent in quality but the last few times I have gotten food here it really has been a miss, while prices keep climbing up. The last few chicken dishes I have gotten have been a mix of soggy, lacked proper sauce, over cooked, freezer burn, and /or tasted like old oil. The noodles and or rice have had similar experiences. I was hesistant to leave a review as it has been good more than bad and I am still giving them 4 stars, but the last few times were bad enough to say something.

Absolute favorite Asian cuisine in Chicago. My goal is to eat the whole menu because there is no misses! The cold sesame noodles, and moo shu pork are my favorite. Wonderful food, wonderful people 10/10!!!

When I walked in the door the smell of mango and pineapple was delightful. This restaurant is very fresh. They offer a lot of fresh fruit smoothies and boba tea. I ordered the General chicken lunch special. I paid $2.00 extra to have fried rice. It was very good . I also ordered a crab ragoon. Also very good. I wish they had a smaller order you only have one order of six. I will definitely be back they have great flavors and are very fresh. They have Coke products, and have can pop.

Location is basic set up with some decorative pictures and meal pictures hung up. Service was so inviting and friendly. We ordered orange chicken, which was perfectly cooked with a crispy crunch. The orange sauce was more of a glaze that was delightful and not overly sweet. The Spicy Lemongrass Chicken was seasoned with a right amount of peppery , lemony notes and sliced green peppers/onions, served over white rice that was fluffy and tasty. The crab rangoon were fried and crispy full of flavor, and the egg rolls were generously filled and paired great with the sweet and sour sauce. Entire meal was deliciously fabulous and filling, the staff friendly and engaging, and service fast and accommodating. Looking forward to another visit.

Food is so good. One of best in the area. The restaurant itself is very small. Would recommend take out. The strawberry smoothie was amazing, better than smoothie places in the area. Ordered online and picked up and food was hot and fresh. I will be back!

Love to order takeout from here. Lots of great vegetarian options, we love the soy protein dishes and the Mongolian seitan. Small space inside so recommend ordering takeout!

Their smoothies is the absolute best in town so far!!! You got to try them. When they say something is spicy, trust them. Nice selection and price on the lunch specials. Vegetables were super fresh.

This place has an expansive and well-done vegetarian and vegan menu! The staff is very knowledgeable and can tell you whether things are vegan or merely vegetarian. Both items I got were great. I tried being extra healthy by getting brown rice, but I would have gotten white rice next time. Pairs much better with the dishes. The brown rice was slightly dry. The twice cooked wheat gluten was not like the pork version--perhaps because wheat gluten is not fatty. It was tasty, and I would get it again, but I would not say it's a good imitation of the dish. I would give this place 4.5 stars, but I rounded up for the friendly staff. If you need it, they have a bathroom in the back for patrons! :)

Small space inside. The server was in a hurry and was not responsive to answer our question. They have a good selection of vegan and vegetarian food. Vegan BBQ Seiten- 3/5 - sweet in taste with chewy layer Vegan protin noodle - 3/5 - fewer veggies lack spice, but their spicy sauce helps.

Got a lychee strawberry smoothie with boba from here and wasn't a huge fan of the taste. Overall sort of generic, nothing bad but nothing special or standout either. Texture was a bit weird, think "foamy". I think my issue with it was that it tasted a bit too much like those fruit syrup concentrates that you dilute to make juice. Overpriced imo. The boba were overcooked and were soft rather than satisfyingly chewy. Service was reasonably fast though. Didn't seem too active when we went later in the night, but maybe the vibe is better during the day.

Amazing food and bubble tea, great vegan options! Very small restaurant but well worth it!

If you are a Jewish American that grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland like me chances are you've had your fair share of Americanized Chinese food growing up. Even after living in China and being exposed to "real Chinese food" (and LOVING it) sometimes I get nostalgic for the fake stuff. Yummy yummy Asian cuisine hits the spot of all the greatest hits -- egg foo young, pork fried rice, eggrolls are all solid and full of that msg flavor. I've never been here in person, only ordered carry out. The bubble tea smoothie is solid too. I'm a bit skeptical of the food from other Asian countries on the menu haha.

I have absolutely no bad things to say about Yummy Yummy Asian Cuisine. We came in for lunch after a 3 hour flight that left at 6am (+time difference did us in), and it was the perfect meal. During lunchtime on a Tuesday, there was 1 other couple dining in and a large number of takeout orders. The staff was very patient and kind, despite how many orders they were juggling! We started with the Crab Rangoon of course, and it was well above average. We then shared an order of General Tso's Chicken, which came with a bowl of rice, and Vegetable Lo Mein. The portions were hefty, so we got to take some home with us too- there is nothing like leftover Chinese food! This will be one of my go-to's for easy takeout.

The boba drinks at this place was fantastic. I visited it late on a weekday night with my family and the service was great. We had a such a good time and will be visiting again soon enough whenever we are in the neighborhood.

Incredible food and even more incredible service! Love this place! Great smoothies too!!

Solid Americanized Chinese food to satisfy your cravings! Egg rolls are crispy on the outside and full of tasty veggies and meat on the inside. Wonton soup was good- not too salty and wontons were full of meat. Pork fried rice was just that. Pork egg foo young was very good. Eggplant with garlic sauce had plenty of eggplant as well as an assortment of other veggies. We got carry out so can't speak to ambiance or table service but door dash was only $3 and took about 35 min on a Sunday evening from the time I sent in the order. Overall a great experience.

I was originally a meat eater, then developed an allergy to pork and beef...and I used to love wonton soup. However, I can't have the normal version anymore, so I've been on the hunt for a vegetarian version that tastes similar to the original. I tried Urban Vegan's version but that didn't satisfy me. But holy sh*tballs, Yummy Yummy's made me cry happy tears! It tastes very close to the original and even the broth is superb. I'm not even a broth person and I sipped that sucker dry like a kid that forgets water exists. I also got the broccoli soy gluten and I found this good but the sauce was a little watered down for my liking. If it was just a wee bit less watered down, it would be glorious. I ordered via UberEats so I can't comment on how the restaurant is inside but it's on my list to check it out in person!

Truly delicious. I enjoyed the food so much I stoped by 3x in one week. It's down a side street and easy to miss. The food is super fresh and very well seasoned.

Just as its name, this place is YUMMY! I've had their Kung Pao Soy Gluten with brown rice and it was to die for! Also had their vegan miso and mango lychee smoothie (best damn smoothie I've ever had!!). All three are must haves. I was with my friend and she ordered 6 dif dishes and loved each and every one of them! It's a vegan galore as it has SO menu vegan and vegetarian options, full side of the menu. Absolutely give this place a try!

Love! My favorite spot to get great food and great smoothies! The service is always very friendly and quick! The place is small but it's great for take out!

I'm so disappointed :( I was really craving Chinese food and ordered a Chop Suey. It is flavorless and smells really weird.

I absolutely love YUMMY YUMMY this was a guess from the pictures on line. Fast delivery, hot at delivery. Always will be ordering from here.

Pad thai doesn't have a ton of flavor, I picked it because the menu said it was spicy, it's not. BUT dumplings smack, chefs kiss. Service was on time, went at the 25-30 mark and it was ready for pick up. Not pictured but the tapioca boba teas are FIRE!

Wonderful service. Amazing food. And the sweetest staff-- made me feel welcome and familiar. Will definitely be coming back!

Authentic Chinese food. Excellent Lo Mein. Egg rolls were huge... good flavor. Over all good food. Service was excellent. Nice young lady brought my order to my car ... no parking on the street. Was not aware that they have parking in the rear. That's what I was told. I enjoyed my take out meal. Will go again.

Good Chinese takeout. Large portions and the egg rolls are amazing!! I frequent here often and have never been disappointed.

This is my go to spot for smoothies, specifically Taro smoothies. I have come over a dozen times for a combination of smoothies and food and have never been disappointed! The lady in the front is the sweetest. She always knows I'm going to get my daily taro smoothie and is such a nice lady. She is always there and always working very hard to make the experience as smooth and quick as possible. This is a pick up spot only, there's unfortunately no indoor dining. This is the only place I come to for smoothies! The best in the city

One of my favorites and a go-to in Lakeview! Never had a bad meal or service. Highly recommended

I ordered from here again since my last experience was great. This time...not so much. We had the sesame chicken and the crispy sesame beef and both tasted just about the same and both were quite soggy. The chicken was hard and had a lot of 'yucky' pieces. We also tried the wonton soup which was fine, but I wouldn't bother ordering again. Same with the vegetable potstickers. The picture on the menu makes them look steamed with a spicy sauce, but they arrived fried, looked shriveled up, and did not have much filling and did not come with chili/hot sauce. The red curry chicken was not quite right. It seemed like they used a thickener (like gelatin?) to thicken the sauce, but it really needed coconut cream/milk to create the perfect creamy and sweet notes. I would not recommend. We did enjoy the crab Rangoon and the egg rolls.

Love this place! Food is made quickly. Favorites are the Mongolian beef, sweet and sour chicken, and sesame chicken

Excellent Chinese fast and cheap! It's a hole in the wall so if you want atmosphere this is not your spot. They do takeout and the soups are all delicious. They have excellent stir fried rice and their string beans with chicken was really good!

Excellent Mongolian Beef! Asked for not spicy, no mushrooms, add carrots, green beens and crunchy noodles on bottom! Excellent dish! Egg-Rolls delicious!!!Excellent customer service!!! Nice people! Highly recommend. Never ate there, small but quaint seating.

The other day I got some pad see ew and a honeydew smoothie with boba. Pad see ew is okay, considering the price though..it's not bad! The beef is a bit too fatty, and the noodles seemed a bit thicker than what I'm used to in terms of pad see ew. Still super good and makes for some good hangover food too. They use real fruit in their smoothie which is so different than most places! I'm used to more powder drinks in California so this was refreshing. It's so nice that this place is right next door!

[Smoothie review] The good: The smoothies are absolutely delicious. They are made with real fruit (instead of powders and sweetners like other places) with lots of different flavors to choose from. For $5, they are well-portioned and are almost a meal on their own (gotta get the tapioca balls, obviously). Staff was very friendly and super quick. The not-so-good: Not really a knock per say, but it'd be nice if they had a take out window (given that I'm guessing it's the majority of their business). The inside is rather small, especially during COVID times. Food/drink: 9/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 Service: 10/10

My go-to Chinese spot! Quick and easy and always exactly what I want. Not a huge fan of the egg rolls tho

Yummy Yummy was great. Our daughter just moved into the neighborhood and we were looking for a quick and casual dinner. We couldn't decide what to order so we got three dishes to share (orange chicken, chicken lo mein, chicken with snow peas, and a large wonton soup. Everything was fresh and delicious! We had plenty of leftovers to take home. Staff was very friendly. We made a reservation online, but it wasn't necessary for the time we were there. The restaurant was very busy with take out and delivery orders.

My friend and I spent some time looking for a place to order delivery from, and we landed on Yummy Yummy. It is definitely your standard Chinese takeout--we got the orange chicken, Mongolian beef, fried and white rice, and potstickers. I especially loved the Mongolian beef and the potstickers--very good! The chicken was a little off to me and didn't seem like it was cooked right. Overall, this was a solid experience; since I don't live in the area I likely won't be ordering it too often!

Cannot go wrong with the lo mein or chicken dishes and don't skip on the egg rolls. I've only gotten delivery but it is so good every time.

I Love the Egg Drop Soup! I try and try to make it at home and that never works as Great as it is here! Also, more Szechuan wonton dumplings *drool*

I think I order from here every Sunday if not every other. Every single thing I have tried in the menu always fulfills my craving! Bomb @ss orange chicken & egg rolls!!

Forgive and forget, I suppose --- ah 2013, when Uber Eats didn't exist yet. Did I get irrationally angry b/c I was hangry one night 9 years ago and Yummy Yummy took like 3 hours to deliver food for 1 person? Yes. (See below, ha). Did I start ordering from them again during the pandemic and realize this is the most delicious and least greasy American-ized Chinese food on the north side? Also yes. Crab rangoon - 10/10 stars Szechuan Wontons - 100/10 stars I am literally addicted Orange Chicken - my husband wants to order this easily once a week, I don't even like orange chicken and I think it's good Udon Noodle Soup - the only thing I will ever want again in cold weather I could keep going.... Also I think this is obvious from the other reviews but they have a HUGE vegetarian menu here for those looking for that. In summary, I have probably ordered *almost* enough from Yummy Yummy in the last year to make up for 2013-2019 when I was being mad instead of having Szechuan Wontons.

Okay I tried this place out for the reviews actually and WHO PUTS SUGAR OR SWEETNESS INTO BEEF CHOP SUEY! I could taste sugar or some type of sugar in my chop suey since I eat very little of it. I do not eat Thai because of the food loaded up with sugar. So short story to my review I won't be coming back, if the chop suey is sweet I'm sure all there dishes have whatever the chop suey had in it. If you like sugar in your food go for it, it doesn't float my boat. Now I did complain which takes a really bad dish for me to do. It did get replaced and tasted completely different but then it tasted like too much salt was add, so thanks but no thanks. I gave this place 4 stars for the service and the quickness to try and fix my dish but zero stars for me on the food and like I said before I don't knock people that love sugar in their food, I just don't.

Ordered delivery from this place tonight, and man were we disappointed. Orange chicken was very meh... bland with nothing good to say about it. The sesame beef was literally almost the same tasting. The only thing that was semi-good I guess was the fried rice (with chicken) and the egg rolls, which really isn't saying much because those items were also subpar at best. The only good thing about the entire meal was getting it delivered but a really sweet old smiling man who we assumed worked for them even though it was on Grubhub. Not sure if we'd want to try this place again given all of the Chinese food options around us. Maybe we will have to though in order to give a fair judgement.

Hard pressed to find better or more reasonable priced Chinese food in chicago. By far the best egg rolls I've ever had. Very small dining area so it's better for takeout.

The move here is to get takeout with other people so you can get multiple dishes and share. Some of our favorites are crab Rangoon, Szechuan wontons, general tso chicken, and the spicy Basil noodles

Had some really great Chinese food here. I ordered the hot and sour soup, egg rolls, and sesame chicken. All the food tasted really fresh and the order was correct and on time. I would definitely order from here again! I would also like to try some of their other options in the future, as they have a lot to choose from.

Really like this restaurant. The food has been very solid, i have liked everything i got here so far. The flavor is rich and you can get a fried rice with your meal for a small upcharge. Portions are generous. Talking about a take out. when i have eaten inside, the service is very curteous and timely. Highly recommend it.

The smoothie i got there was so so great. I got the strawberry banana smoothie with tapioca. And the best part is when I walked in to pick it up they had the smoothie ready to be blended and blended it when it got there so it wouldn't have been sitting around melting. I really appreciate those little details. On the other hand i've had the food and it's good but the smoothie had me coming back!

Not sure if I have too fond a memory of Yummy Yummy's food pre-COVID, I ordered at an off time, or what -- but they just didn't do it for me tonight. The only dish I remotely enjoyed was crab rangoon. Their crispy honey chicken came with separate sauce, which was essentially straight honey laced with garlic. It was too sticky and sweet and thick, definitely not what I am used to. The chicken itself was dry and chewy, even when coated in "sauce." The Mongolian chicken tasted burnt rather than savory, and it wasn't sliced as thin as I prefer. The sauce pooled at the bottom rather than coating the chicken (opposite of the honey chicken). I ordered delivery through their website, which directed me to Beyond Menu, which has reduced fees versus other platforms. But it took an hour and twenty minutes for delivering after ordering at 4:10pm. Maybe I'll revisit in a few months, in case today just wasn't their best...but feeling disappointed.

Honestly this was straight trash but I'm giving it 3 stars because I'm a fat little piggy.

We ordered the spicy basil fried rice with soy gluten, general tso tofu, and vegetarian egg rolls on DoorDash last night. Delivery was fast and food was hot. I have been a vegetarian for years. I cannot believe I have never heard of soy gluten, and don't understand why every Asian restaurant doesn't serve it!! My boyfriend didn't believe it wasn't chicken. The texture and taste was great, and a perfect substitute for chicken. Try it! However, I wish the menu/website provided an explanation of what soy gluten and soy protein is. At first I just thought they were referring to tofu. The basil fried rice was great, as was the general tso tofu with white rice. I would probably skip on the egg rolls next time. Seriously try the soy gluten. I can't wait to try more of their vegetarian options. They have soooo many vegetarian options in comparison to other local spots. This will be my new go to for Asian cuisine. Portions and prices are great too!!

Amazing food here! I order takeout from Yummy Yummy every 2 weeks or so. It's become a staple for me. I always get a few appetizers when I'm having company over and they are always well received by friends and family. The staff is super friendly too! I could not recommend this place enough.

This is my favorite Chinese place in Chicago. It's packed with flavor but you don't get the over-stuffed-you-need-to-roll-me-off-this-couch feeling you usually get after you eat Chinese food. My favorite dish is the cashew chicken. It offers a variety of veggies with the chicken that I really enjoy. I recently ordered their shrimp with broccoli and was surprised it was in a white sauce. Was just as good, if not better than my go to so I will definitely be ordering that again in the future. They are not open on Wednesdays but open from 12pm-10:30pm every other day of the week.

Cleanliness: 5 Quality: 5 Service: 5 Taste: 5 Ordered takeout delivery through yelp. The process was straightforward and we were expecting our delivery to arrive within the hour but it came early! The driver followed special instructions that were provided and contacted us upon arrival! The packaging was almost flawless when we received our order! There was no spillage and the portions were much more than expected! We ordered the general Tso's chicken (with no corn) and Tom yum soup with shrimp. The soup was spectacular!!!! All the ingredients were fresh and taste was honestly fantastic!! The same sentiments were felt after taking a bite of the General Tso's chicken! The breading was just right and so was the amount of sauce. It also had fresh vegetables which was pleasant! I absolutely love that there isn't a trade-off in preparing this dish in an attempt to "accommodate the white man's palette". This is as authentic as Chinese cooking gets in Chicago.

We ordered several times for delivery. Each time the delivery person was a very kind and polite person. I loved their fried egg rolls. My kids love the lo mein. We're trying new items with every order. Photos in this review are from tonight's order. Family already started to dig in when I took the photos. The portions are generous.

Apparently I had some kind of Doordash deal, so I used it to try out Yummy Yummy. This is a solid Chinese-American delivery spot, and they're also pretty fast. So far I've had the veggie egg rolls, spring rolls, and chicken broccoli, yellow curry, and cashews (all three tasty and not oily at all).

Visited Chicago and was happy to see that one of my favorite places was still open during covid. It's take out only, but I ordered when I got there and they made my order very quickly. The food is just as amazing as always and the staff if so friendly. Hands down some of my favorite vegan food.
