The food was delicious. Restaurant looks like it's unfinished. Very loud inside. Not to appealing.

Tried the Singapore Street Noodles with curry, very enjoyable. The servings are a good size. I also had a bite of the Mongolian Beef which was delicious.

Best Asian in the city.
This restaurant is absolutely beautiful. I was immediately captivated by the art on the outside of the building, which gives it a unique charm. The vibe inside is all about family and friends—it has a welcoming, communal atmosphere. Every table is equipped with a spinning disk at the center, perfect for sharing food family-style. Unfortunately, since we got our food to-go, we didn’t get to experience this, but I can imagine it would make for a fun dining experience.
The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed while ordering and waiting. For my meal, I chose the Yang Chow fried rice and egg rolls. Unfortunately, both dishes fell short in terms of flavor. The egg rolls were very small, resembling more of a spring roll, though they were fresh and crispy. Personally, I wouldn’t order them again, but if you’re a fan of spring rolls, you might enjoy them—just be sure to ask for extra dipping sauce to boost the flavor.
The Yang Chow fried rice was fresh, served hot, and had shrimp and BBQ pork, which I thought were great additions. However, the rice still needed more flavor overall. I ended up adding chili oil and soy sauce, which really elevated the dish, bringing it close to perfection. But if you’re not into spicy food, this might not be for you. I’d definitely order the rice again, but I’d hope they improve the seasoning so I wouldn’t have to add sauce myself.
In the end, while I truly loved the ambiance and atmosphere, a lot of the food could benefit from a little more seasoning to match the beautiful surroundings. With just a bit more flavor, this place could easily be a go-to spot for family-style dining.

I had been in the Hillsboro location of the Yummy House. This one is as good as that one. The Fried Rice is my favorite!
I’ll recommend to anyone that likes Chinese Food.

We went there for lunch and ordered 4 items: lunch special spicy yummy combo, shanghai style dumplings, steamed rice roll with bbq pork, and stuffed tofu. The combo was not spicy at all. Other foods are good. However, the waitress was terrible. She threw the napkins on the table in front of us. She didn’t focus on our table. We will never come back again even the food tasted good.

Me and my fiancée had lunch. we had the house fried rice and chicken lowmain, which was decent but not the best we've had at Chinese establishments. Service was not very welcoming from the host and wait staff our waiter had a spiting issue when he talked so that in it's self wasn't pleasant to experience, along with not being welcoming made the who experience un enjoyable. I would like to come back and try other menu items just with better service.

This un- assuming restaurant right off of the main road doesn't look like much. If I did not Google it I would never would have found it.
They have a very large menu but I have my mind set on half of a roast duck. It was not on the menu however so I asked the waiter and he told me they do have it for $25 for half a duck.
I also want to try the crab and fish maw soup. Fish maw is the swim bladder and I never had it. The bowl came out and you could probably have four cups from it. I asked the lady what condiments do people normally use which was red vinegar and hot chili sauce. This made the soup went over the top I almost ate the whole giant bowl myself. Highly highly recommended if you enjoy savory soup.
The Roast duck came out it too was pretty good not dried like some places. I've had a roast duck many times and this one is near the top.
All the servers were Asian which probably means the owners and the cook were as well. This is a good thing because you will get authentic Chinese food not the Panda Express kind.
It was $20 for the soup 25.00 for the duck and $2.95 for the hot tea.
Very filling. I would definitely go back there again. And if you're looking for an authentic Chinese food experience definitely give these people a shot.

Always the best for comfort, consistent & authentic Chinese. I don't even know how long I've been visiting all Yummy House locations, but too many years and will never tire of it. A true gem!

Just a suggestion. Please, do not mix the sweet orange sauce and the chicken in the same container for to go orders. When I got home my sweet orange chicken was like a soup. The breading was soggy and falling from the chicken.
