Aggressive Server at Dim Sum
My experience at this dim sum restaurant was marred by the aggressive behavior of the lady server. I have never been asked to tip at a dim sum restaurant before, and she exclusively asked me because I spoke in Mandarin first. This was a very uncomfortable and unexpected interaction.

Comforting Char Siu Wonton Noodles
My experience was a comforting one with a bowl of char siu wonton rice noodles that truly hit all the right spots. The broth was light yet flavorful, possessing that perfect homemade taste. The wontons were plump and juicy, the char siu tender and sweet, and the flat noodles were silky and smooth.
Fresh green onions and cilantro on top provided the perfect finish. It was simple, honest food that warmed the soul—I loved it.

Delicious Food, Packed House, Great Value
My experience at this restaurant was that it's a locals place to eat. It is a small restaurant with mediocre ambiance. I went for lunch on a Wednesday and the place was packed!
The food was delicious, and the service was kind and attentive. The prices were quite reasonable.

Avoid This Restaurant: Bland Food, Poor Experience
My experience at Yummy Yummy was overwhelmingly negative. I would strongly advise others to avoid this establishment. The food was incredibly bland, making it difficult to consider it authentic Chinese cuisine.
Furthermore, our orders were consistently incorrect. The restaurant itself had an unpleasant smell and was not aesthetically pleasing. While I acknowledge the hard work involved in running a restaurant, the food quality was simply not up to par.
I believe even Panda Express offers a better Chinese food experience.

Bad Taste and Service, Overpriced Water
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food tasted bad, and the service wasn’t good either. What stood out negatively was their policy of charging for boiling water and essentially anything you want to drink in the store.
While I understand charging for tea, it felt excessive to charge for boiling water. Furthermore, they expected extra tips despite providing no discernible service. It's a place where you feel overcharged and undervalued.

Loved the dim sum!
My experience at the restaurant was great. I loved it. The dim sum menu on the wall had items not on the regular menu, which was a nice surprise.

Yummy Dim Sum, Basic but Good
My experience at this restaurant was that it's a place where old folks hang out. The food is yummy, specifically the dim sum, which was described as basic but delish. However, the service was limited, with only 1 to 2 servers.
Nothing fancy, but the food was good.

Authentic Chinatown Home-Style Cooking
Located in the heart of Chinatown, this small restaurant offers 100% home-styled Chinese cooking. We visited for dim sum, and everything was made fresh. While it might lean more towards a noodles and rice place, the food was good.
It strikes us as a spot for locals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The steamed Shrimp Dumplings and Siu Mai (pork dumplings) were the highlights – wow! We also enjoyed the Steamed Rice Rolls with Shrimp, Deep Fried Meat Dumplings, Deep Fried Sesame Balls, and BBQ Pork Buns.
The service is friendly and welcoming, and the food arrived hot and freshly made. Remember to bring cash as it's a cash-only establishment.

Mixed Bag: Good Dishes, Soapy Water
So many places to dine in this area. I deferred against better judgment to a family member 🙄, as they were eager to eat and this place was very close. We ordered Gai Lan, Har Gow, Chicken Lo Mein, Ma Po Tofu & Steamed Rice.
The total was about $54 excluding tip. Our experience started positively with fresh and hot tea 👍. This was followed by the Har Gow and Gai Lan.
The Gai Lan was perfection, except for some random mung bean sprouts mingled in, and the Har Gow were perfect. However, the water served to the younger child was a bit foamy/soapy. While the cups were still warm from being cleaned, I wasn't comfortable giving a child soapy water to drink.
The remaining dishes arrived next. The Ma Po Tofu was spicy 🔥 but incredibly flavorful in a nuanced manner. The Lo Mein, ordered for the child, was unfortunately too salty and too spicy for them to eat.
On a positive note, the sliced chicken within the Lo Mein was likely the freshest chicken I've enjoyed in months. The Steamed Rice was as expected. The bathroom was a little better than a gas station but worse than I'm used to.
The ambiance was unimpressive for those who care about that sort of thing. Overall, it's a decent, simple, fast-service, cash-only joint with fairly priced portions. It was an overall okay experience.

Delicious Dim Sum and Ambiance
My experience at the restaurant was wonderful. I enjoyed the dim sum shrimp balls and beef meatballs, and shared an order of Hong Kong style tomato beef. Everything was delicious.
I also enjoyed the ambiance and the fact that the space was spacious.
