Tonight I experienced something new, an extra-ordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about Chinese food cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Yummy City's famous motto: 'Chinese food is not hard to make.' But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Yummy City, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest Chinese food cook in UES. I will be returning to Yummy City soon, hungry for more.
Delicious food. Friendly service. They make it pretty quickly too.

I pass by 10 to 15 take outs going out of my way just to come to this place. Food is great, prices are beyond fair, and Steve, and his wife are the most humble and kind folks. ABOVE & BEYOND!!!

Once upon a time I was unable to find decent Chinese food in East Harlem. I tried most from 125th to 96th from 1st to 5th Ave trying nothing but Sesame chicken. It was a brutal trip not soon forgotten. Yummy City not only has the best Sesame chicken,(in East Harlem) the service from the young gentleman at the window is flawless. Got a special order, no problem. Want to alter your order, no problem. He just tells you how much it's gonna be with a smile and no attitude. I usually get my Sesame chicken fried soft with no rice extra broccoli and a dollar extra chicken. His reply is always flawless, with a great attitude to match his positive stance always displayed to everyone's delight while ordering and picking up their food. This is almost unheard of when it comes to Chinese restaurants in Harlem. It seems that most Chinese restaurants do not like black people from America.
The food is always fresh and cooked the way you ordered. They lost a star because they're not open consistently. I imagine that they probably don't open until they can properlyserve their food.. so it cool because the food and service is great. I would recommend trying this spot because in this hustle and bustle city, they deserve the business. "Good job young man.." is what I usually say when I leave the establishment. Yummy city is good.
As an Asian who grow up in Asian. I don’t really eat American style Chinese food. Today I went to the next door get some carrot cake, and saw this place, I bring it all the way back to Brooklyn, veggie lo mein still so good even after 1 hr travel. Probably the best American style takeout Chinese I ever had! Clean, delicious and affordable! 10/10
Love this spot! Staff is always so friendly and the food is great

Those wings!? And the kindest person behind the counter. They could to charge more if they wanted. I was visiting for a week in the neighborhood and ate here 3 times. And I'm not crazy about Chinese food.
Great food with great portions and even better people. Sweetest employees!

I recommend this place to go buy Chinese food, clean place, good friendliness of the Chinese guy and more because he does his best to speak Spanish. I only put one but, you can't eat in the place, there is everything good, delicious and cheap food…
