Yummy Kitchen 闻香居 offers a casual dining experience with delicious food cooked right in front of guests in their open kitchen. The mapo tofu is a must-try, served sizzling hot and full of savory flavors with a numbing kick. The stir-fried string beans with pork are flavorful and not too greasy, although the pork can be a bit salty. The Sautéed Cabbage and Tofu Fish Fillets are authentic and well-portioned. The Chicken Chowmein and Cashew Chicken are tasty and toddler-friendly in terms of spice. The service is fast and friendly, with attentive servers.
The owner is sweet and thoughtful, quickly noticing if customers are uncomfortable. Dishes like the Battered Pork Tenderloin come with a delicious spiced powder, while the Stir-fried Beef with Cumin is tasty but chewy. The Kung Pao tofu is standard, and the Vegetable Chow Mein has a sweet soy-sauce-based sauce but perfect noodle texture. Complimentary julienned carrots and potato, savory with hints of vinegar and garlic, are a nice touch.
Popular items include the House Special Fried Rice, Sesame Balls, Crispy Garlic Chicken Wings, and a mild Stewed Beef Brisket w.Tofu Casserole (with fish upon request). The Egg Fried Rice is moist and piping hot, while the Sichuanese-style Chilli Chicken tingles just right. Although the interior is simple, the food makes it worth a visit. Customers praise the fresh, flavorful dishes made with care, and highlight the spotless kitchen and pride taken in preparing the food. Many find it a great, authentic place to enjoy Chinese cuisine, with friendly service and generous portions.
