Each time I’ve come to the restaurant, the food is always amazing. They’ve revamped the menu with a lot of new and amazing items. A must try for some good food, great atmosphere and great staff

The spicy fish was amazing. Also had the dry fried beans and chicken. The chili peppers are cooked so perfectly, I was eating them like potato chips. Highly recommend this place. Great prices too

Food has changed for the worst, the same high prices remain but now for lack luster food. Disappointed with the change of ownership and change of food.

My wife and I found out about Dating Yummy a few years ago when our friend who lived in Shanghai China before who was visiting and wanted to find authentic Chinese food and dumplings. We loved this restaurant particularly the YuShan Eggplant and MaPo tofu.
We had noticed that the restaurant had changed names and the menu had removed these items a month or so ago and were disappointed. Tonight we were looking to get takeout and noticed the name and old menu had been restored. We were excited to have our favorites again but were quickly disappointed.
First when I picked up the food I was told that they did not have a lot of MaPo tofu but that they gave me what they had and gave me a $5 bill back…weird.
Then I got home and looked at the food and could tell right away that it was not right. The MaPo tofu had peas and carrots that were obviously from frozen and def not in traditional Chinese MaPo tofu. The eggplant was mostly bell pepper and odd pickled vegetables with very little actual eggplant. The crab cheese wantons were dry and flavorless.
We were very upset after spending $50 on food that we could not stomach to finish after a few bites. I threw the food away.
I decided to call and request a refund. The new owner was very hostile. I tried to be nice and just said the food was not what we expected and that we could not eat it as it did not taste right that we would like a refund. He raised his voice and was angry and kept insisting the recipes had not changed and asking when was the last time we ate there. He insisted that I drive the food back so he could look at it and maybe he would give a refund. I told him I threw the food away and would not spend another 30 minutes total in the car to drive back there.
Even if I was in the wrong, the new owner was insulting and never made any attempt to listen to my concerns. I stated that MaPo tofu does not have peas and carrots. He responded stating “this is traditional Chinese, not Americanized.” The man is gaslighting me because I knew this is not true as I have had this dish at other restaurants for years and it never included vegetables. I looked it up apparently ONLY Americanized versions of this dish have peas and carrots.
I will be filing a dispute with my credit card company for a chargeback. It is completely unacceptable to treat customers this way.
Two thumbs down.

Dating Yummy was my husband and I’s all time favorite Chinese restaurant in town. We ordered all of our usual favorites tonight for take out and were extremely disappointed. The crab cheese wontons were so dry and flavorless and the other dishes weren’t remotely close to what they once were. We both took a few bites and had to toss the rest, which we NEVER do. We absolutely hate wasting food, but there was no way we could force ourselves to eat these. We called the owner to let him know and ask for a refund, and he said they were the exact same recipes as before the change in ownership and he would no refund. Please, do not waste your money at this establishment. My family and I will not be returning to Dating Yummy.

I used to really enjoy coming to Dating Yummy — the food was always hot, flavorful, and came in generous portions. The service used to stand out too. The Asian lady who used to work the front was fantastic: she always had water on the table right away, checked in on how the food was, and made sure you felt taken care of.
Unfortunately, that level of quality is gone. The current service is slow — it took forever just to get water, utensils had to be asked for, and no chopsticks were available. Even the chili oil, which used to be on every table, is gone. On top of that, the food portions have shrunk drastically, and what used to feel like a reliable, satisfying meal now feels underwhelming.
It also seems like there’s been a shift in ownership, and it shows. The Instagram is filled with Italian food posts, and even the décor now feels mismatched — like the restaurant doesn’t know what it wants to be. Sadly, Dating Yummy is no longer a go-to spot for me. The new management is failing to carry on what made this place special.
New ownership responded to previous reviews will a defensive attitude rather than understanding why customers are upset when portions are small and service is lacking. Thank you for carrying out a deep clean in the kitchen but it did nothing to help with the service and atmosphere.

The food here is so much wonderful! The staff is super friendly and the pork and the chicken was so excellent. Love the soups and fried rice!! I've tried has been top-notch. Me and my friends are going to take it as our best dinner restaurant!! I feel so lucky that we found it!
The food is absolutely delicious! I usually have a light appetite but the chef really knows how to make it taste so good I end up stuffing myself. Fried green beans are great, amazing wonton, and all the main dishes I've tried are really flavorful.

The Seasonal stir fried string beans were my favorite. The service was excellent, the owner even came by and checked on us.

I had the Mongolian beef and fried rice and it was delicious spicy but not overly spicy. The tomato and egg soup which didn't sound very good was actually pretty amazing I'm actually craving some now.

The numbing and spicy taste，like the mouth is dancing. I love it!! I have always liked spicy food, and I have been coming here for 2 years, but this place has refreshed my understanding of chili peppers. The new boss has introduced many Chinese spicy dishes that I have never seen before, but this is indeed a numbing taste.
