Rated for the plain looking but awfully tasty clay pot rice. Ordered mushroom and chicken clay pot rice on a rainy day. Almost everyone who entered the restaurant could be heard uttering 'Bo Zai Fan' to each other upon sitting down. Several options were available including live swamp eel ($48.99) that comes with soup. Choice of soy sauce, xo sauce or bean paste sauce can be specified. The rice at the bottom, semi-golden, had excellent crispness but not burnt. Pouring soy sauce over it prior to serving made it sizzled, softening the rice but not diminishing its crispness. The slices of chicken breast on top were mildly or not marinated albeit well-tenderized. Mixing things up (mushroom, ginger and scallion, soy sauce, fluffy rice, crisp rice) resulted in a delightful spoonful of home cooked goodness that tingled forgotten tastebuds. Stir fried green bean and eggplant (xo sauced) was well-portioned, cooked well, good for mixing into the rice. Jasmine tea was strong/prepared well. Responsive and helpful waitress. read more

Eating clay pot growing up in hong kong, I was craving some when I saw yum yum cafe. Not from the area but had some time to kill before my flight so I stopped by this hole in the wall spot. Overall good flavor on the clay pot rice, and the rice is CRISSPYY. hot and sour soup is very good too. read more

I love this place! It feels like a hole in the wall but the service is awesome, the food is all classic, and everything is so fast. It's a typical Chinese place that serves tea to everyone. - Salt and Pepper Squid: This was so great! I thought it was flavorful and a great portion size. - Pork Congee: Nothing special, just your typical pork congee. I thought it was a tad too ginger-y. - Salted Fish and Chicken Tofu Stone Pot: Super interesting dish, I haven't had salted fish like this before. I think you are supposed to eat this with rice, but it was fine on its own too. The salted fish wasn't my favorite but I liked the pieces of chicken and the tofu! read more

A hole in the wall, located in white center with easy parking in the front! Great spot for stone pot rice and fried tofu! Staff is friendly and attentive read more

I wasn't unhappy but I felt the food I ordered was too Americanize like the lemon chicken. The sauce for the lemon just too sweet. The chicken was made like katsu but thin and dry. The tofu and mix veggies was good and the beef chow fun yummy yum yum. The orange beef was just okay not anything I would crave. They were out of the pork hash and salted fish. The salted and spicy fish was good but the portions were kind of small for to go. It's authentic Cantonese food but not compared to the San Gabriel valley food. read more

Yum Yum Cafe is a great restaurant! The pea vine in broth was especially good. Very fresh tasting and simply good. The rice stone pot with salted pork (pork belly) and Chinese sausage was pretty good. Instead of stirring up the crisped rice immediately, it might be good to pour a bit of soup broth so that it softens the rice a bit. That's how my family used to use the hard rice on the bottom of the pot and it was good that way. The spicy beans with pork was pretty good. Service was prompt and friendly. read more

I ordered salted duck egg pumpkin, dried scallop egg white fried rice, and the ginger scallion chicken. The pumpkin was amazing where it was piping hot and crispy. The pumpkin was cut a bit thick in my opinion but the flavor was good. The fried rice was disappointing because I didn't see any scallop nor taste it. It was on the greasy side. The chicken was decent but was on the small side for a half portion. The flavor was good but not what I'm used to where the chicken was salted instead of a soy and oils base. Overall, would come back but skip the fried rice. Seems like a decent place for Chinese comfort foods. This place was clean and easy to get to. The service is also really awesome. I know I just got take out but the cashier was so friendly and offered utensils with any seasoning. read more

Have been a couple times when it was decent but the quality here has become awful. Tastes like microwaved freezer food. Better off going to Panda Express or making your own Chinese freezer food at home. read more

Excellent food Good portions and good price highly recommend to anybody The staff is also very attentive and friendly read more

The great thing about this place is the food is not greasy or heavy. Usually when I eat Chinese food I feel so heavy and stuffed- not here. The food was better than I expected! This place is no thrills, no alcohol, and we were the only non asian people in the spot. I have to say that this is probably some of the best Chinese food I have had in Seattle and I fully intend to go back! read more

My husband and I picked up togo for dinner and food was delicious! I am a pescatarian and there were lots of options for me. We got the fried pumpkin, seafood chow mein, and fish congee - all of which were full of flavor, high quality, and not too salty or greasy like some Chinese restaurants. My husband got the beef brisket and stir fried salted pork and Chinese sausage with cauliflower. We recommend all the dishes we tried today! The owner is super friendly! read more

太好吃了！ --- Kind of at the edge of Seattle, the price might give a little surprise. But the unique cooking cuisine, presentation, and taste will comfort customers that this is one of the best. And especially there were a couple dishes not easily found at other locations, if not in other cities. Came in around 3 PM and enjoyed a quiet and family-style lunch. By the way, it closed on Tuesday. read more

Yum Yum Cafe is yum yum. Generous portions, food cooked just right. Nice to find an authentic Chinese restaurant in Burien.

We were welcomed and seated promptly. We were given hot tea. I would like to comeback and try everything on the menu. Very authentic cantonese cuisine and delicious food. I was satisfied with the quality and variety you get. read more

Been meaning to try and finally got a chance to stop by after picking up someone from the airport, we stopped by at an odd time, around 3pm and the place was still pretty full! This was a decent Cantonese cuisine spot and as such, I would recommend you stick with Cantonese dishes. Sadly they didn't have the eel stone pot, so we ended up getting the Salted Pork And Chinese Sausage Rice Stone Pot (5/5) which was flavorful and crispy. Chicken with Scallion & Soy Sauce (4/5) - was fine, not something I particularly enjoy as a dish but saw many others ordering it so we got it as well. Yuxiang Shredded Pork (3/5) - Ok but not great, probably wouldn't get again Sauteed String Bean w/ Spicy Minced Pork (3.5) - I like to order this dish pretty much everywhere I can, it was decent, could be more crispy but flavor was good. Beef Chow Fun (4/5) - Also something I order everywhere since I grew up eating it a lot, sauce was a little sweet but wasn't burnt/overcooked like many places tend to do. Noodles were cooked perfectly. Crispy Tofu (5/5) - Another thing we saw everyone order and I can see why, easily a must get. Flavor was great, outer coating of tofu was perfectly crispy. read more

Seeing many people recommended this restaurant, so we specifically gathered with a bunch of friends to try. It was good but not good engouch for an authentic Cantonese cuisine. may be we have too high expectations "The baozai rice is very good, lacks a little aroma and sweetness of the rice, but overall it is tasty "Stir-fried eel slices + eel and tofu soup" : one eel for two dish, skeleton and tail for soup, the American eel is too small, probably cooked in soy sauce, but it's quite different from the Shanghai eel tube and the Guangzhou jelly pot. "Fried tofu" is very tasty and crispy "Bean seedling in Soup" is a very refreshing dish, the egg and soup are very fresh "Chicken with chestnuts" and "Braised lamb belly in pot" and "Duck with bean curd in pot" are too disappointing! The seasoning is basically the same, the bean curd in both dishes is not soft enough, and one of them is burnt. This heavy taste does not reflect the respect of ingredients that Cantonese casseroles should have. Well, anyway it's good in Seattle just because I was expecting too much before coming here. read more

Great small business. All the dishes I've had were good. I really love the green bean with eggplant and XO sauce dish. Food comes out quick.

It might be a weird thing to compliment, but I have never had more perfectly cooked vegetables in my life. The perfect amount of crispness that somehow managed to be uniform between thin things like the snow pea pods and thick things like broccoli crowns. I would love to know how they accomplish that. Also might be a weird point to compliment, but this was one of the cleanest restaurant bathrooms I have ever used. The Kung Pao tofu I had here was the best I have had in Seattle. The service was wonderful. 10/10, will probably go broke eating here. read more

Delicious food and great service! We came in for lunch and enjoyed all of of the dishes we tried, which included pea shoots with garlic, tofu and fish clay pot, salt and pepper squid, and soy sauce and scallion chicken. All fantastic. The waiter took great care of us, and the tea was good too. We'll definitely be back. read more

Ordered salt and pepper fried pork chop, sizzling lamb slices, xo sauce noodles, and eel rice stone pot with soup. Waited 1 hour for food. 1 hour. Bro 1 hour. I ordered to go cuz my kids were sleeping and they took an entire nap and woke up and food wasn't ready so we switched to eating in the restaurant. I'm convinced they have 2 teenage chefs and a half trained monkey working in the back. Portions are small relative to prices. Rating is for taste, and taste wise this is a low 4 star restaurant. My wife says it's comparable to a plus Hong Kong restaurant near where we live but I think it's not even close. All in all, decent restaurant but pretty bad eating experience. read more

This place had the best yellow eel dishes! We ordered the pan fried yellow eel and it was amazingly tender! Light sauce but no fishy smell at all! Yellow eel soup also came along with it. Again, it's a nice combo and no fishy odor at all. 5 stars for how they cook yellow eel! We also ordered clams (forgot its name). This one gave me a mixed feeling. Taste was very good but the meat was too raw for us. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like a "medium well" level, I just prefer "well-done" read more

This place is amazing. One of the best Chinese restaurants in the west seattle area. Everything is good

Blech. Ordered almond chicken and garlic chicken. Sauces were awful. The almond chicken was not meaty or juicy, just a heavily fried flat like a shoe sole chicken patty. The 'sauce' was runny broth, like brown tea water with absolutely no flavor, none. Not even salty. The garlic chicken was hard as rocks. Inedible, Terrible. I ordered to go, live about a mile away and will never go back. So many better options nearby including Taco Bell and 7-11...that's how bad it was...blech. read more

Good taste! I heard that they have changed their owners. I tried some today. This is delicious. This is the Cantonese style that I like! If you also like Cantonese food, it is worth a try! read more

Best Mongolian beef I have ever had! Wasn't too spicy although I do enjoy spicy Chinese food. The beef was cooked perfect and it wasn't smothered in onions and green onions although they are there. Price was as expected in the $11-$13 range and the portion size was great. I enjoyed a nice amount for dinner with a little bit to take home for later. This place is 9/10 for me so far and hope to try more of their dishes! This place has changed ownership a few times over the years but this new ownership knows how to make a great dish. If you came here months/years ago, please give this new place a chance! It's fantastic! read more

Yum Yum Cafe - Mongolian beef - Cantonese Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We got a pick up order. The food was fine. The chicken congee was very watery and not creamy as other congee I have had in the past. The best thing we ordered was the honey walnut shrimp, it was both sweet and savory. We ordered Singapore vermicelli and it did not say what type of meat to order as an option so we assumed it would be vegetarian. At other restaurants it lets you know what kind of meat is in the menu. We brought it home and it had pork. When we called to ask for a replacement the woman on the phone said have you not ordered Singapore noodles before it always comes with pork. I told her we have at other places and it tells you what meat is in it. They replaced it but with a lecture. read more

Took the family there tonight - after loosing our usual Chinese restaurant we needed to find a new place. This was much closer to home and had good reviews so far. We ate there and we loved having the small dinning area to ourselves. They had dished I've never had before - There was fried sticky rice with peanuts I thought were amazing and some fat teriyaki noodles I've never had but enjoyed. The Egg drop soup was warm and comforting while it snowed outside and House Fried Rice has so much flavor. Also the prices were very reasonable. We will totally be coming back again. read more

Wow, with all these amazing reviews...it's so crazy bad and disgusting. I feel like I lost 1 hour of my life I can't get back. Horrifically horrible. If it fair food, I go easy, but this was beyond bad. Not sure how they have all the good reviews with great pictures. read more

The food is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! However, the woman who takes the orders and sweeps the floor, is very unfriendly and rude, especially toward Non-Asian female customers (perhaps she is the owner). She makes unkind faces at you as you try to order, and you must repeat many times what you want. When she's done sweeping the floor, she handles your food and food containers, and payment methods without first washing her hands. Awhile back before the pandemic, this used to be Ying Ying Cafe, I believe this business recently opened since the pandemic is considered over. Good food safety rating with Seattle and King County. read more
