    Beef Chow Fun
    Toma C.

    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.

    Spicy Green Bean with Pork (special)
    John W.

    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.

    Salted duck egg fried Pumpkin with Salted Egg Yolk
    Jennifer T.

    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.

    Fried pumpkin, seafood chow mein, fish congee, beef brisket with black pepper, stir fried salty pork and Chinese sausage with cauliflower

    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!

    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!

    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.

    The food here is really great! Everything perfectly flavored and veggies never overcooked. I especially love the Kung Pao Chicken. Very casual seating. Give this place a try!

    Too good to be true Thank you so much for the " bao zai fan" The flavor is number 1 in Seattle area And the service here is unbeatable I love it soooo much

    My friend took me here sayin that they have best salty egg chicken !! YES !! They do ! The chicken is so crispy and even when it cool down still crispy ! We had eel rice and Chive flower very tasty ! Not much parking space. Will come back again !

    Good Cantonese food The lamb and the crab is nice When crowded it is hard to find parking spot

    Niya Z.

    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.

    A tiny place with big portion and authentic food…read more We came here on a Sunday afternoon, the restaurant was almost fully packed. I had my all time favorite dish at a Hong Kong café cuisine, gon caau ngau ho (乾炒牛河), aka beef chow fun, along with a childhood favorite drink, iced Horlicks. I liked how everything moved at a quick pace here and yet the staff were still friendly. The best part was that no one stopped by to ask how the food was while your mouth was full, because they already knew the food was good. The beef chow fun was just as good as the ones back home. It was savory and full of wok hei (iykyk). The bean sprouts were added at just the right time, so they were still a slightly crunchy. The sliced beef was tender too. If you like adding extra spice, be sure to try the crunchy chili sauce on the table. It was awesome, fragrant, spicy, and full of flavor. Just be careful not to choke on it, I did, and it wasn't fun. I hadn't had Horlicks in twenty years, and the first sip brought back so many memories. Be sure to stir it well and maybe wait until the ice melts a little, otherwise it may be slightly too sweet. My partner is a vegetarian. He looked through the entire menu and said there weren't many things he could order (listen, people, choose your future SO accordingly if you like sharing big meat dishes). He ended up ordering the curry vegetable rice and added a fried egg. He said the curry was delicious. I tried a bite of it and agreed. I think there may have some coconut milk in it because it was rich and creamy. The rice was a little too dry to my liking. Sitting there and listening to the background music from the Hong Kong TV news, I felt like a kid again.

Not sure what they added in, but the flavor of the broth was not my favorite. There's so much good wonton soup in the area! I wish this broth was better and more savory. Beef chow fun: pretty tasty and the beef was pretty tender. There was no work hei, so didn't have that distinct flavor Half chicken bone in: this was surprisingly our favorite dish! Steamed chicken with a ginger oil. The ginger made this dish and the chicken was very tender. The chicken comes cold so eat it with some rice and it's the perfect combo

Honey Walnuts Prawns - honey walnut shrimp is such a classic, easily one of my favorites from childhood and still near the top of my list. I don't know if it's the takeout container, but the quantity with respect the box was disappointing.

Minced Pork with Green Bean - now this was a hefty box, lots of green beans tossed with the classic XO sauce and a solid amount of pork. Honestly not much to comment on, this was a hearty dish and very comforting. Would recommend for green bean or string bean lovers.

I remember the days when you'd see them sitting at the corner table, hand-folding wontons right in front of you. They've gotten so busy now that they do it in the back, and if you don't time your visit right, be prepared to wait in a long line. This is my absolute go-to combo on a chilly day, and honestly, the best hangover cure: Wonton Noodle Soup, Cod Fish Congee, Chinese Broccoli, and Chinese Donuts (Youtiao).You cannot skip the donuts--they are a must! My personal ritual is adding a splash of pink vinegar and chili paste into the congee, dipping the donut in, and taking a huge bite. It's pure comfort that warms you up from the inside out and instantly heals a tired soul. My husband prefers the beef wonton noodle soup because it's rich and hearty, but I love the classic, clean flavor of the plain wonton soup with its seafood-based broth. A quick heads-up: The service is typical for an authentic, bustling Chinese restaurant--don't expect fancy fine-dining treatment, but the staff is genuinely friendly and efficient. Also, **it's CASH ONLY**, so come prepared! Among the handful of restaurants I've stayed loyal to for 20+ years, this spot holds a very special place in my heart. Highly recommended!

This place is a true gem, serving satisfying, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere at an affordable price. The restaurant looks small from the front, but space is used efficiently and they manage to fit quite a bit of seating into not that large of a dining room. Tables are mostly four tops, quite spacious at that, and surrounded by sturdy wooden chairs. I came for dinner on a Friday evening and there were a few other tables at any given time. Service was quick and our water never ran empty. We had the wontons in hot oil, topped with peanuts, I had the beef chow fun, and my dinner buddy had the pork with hot sauce noodles. The wontons are very very good, stuffed with flavorful pork and swimming in a sauce that sits in that perfect spot at the intersection of hot and sour. The peanuts and scallions add a delightful crunch. Their beef chow fun satisfies every bit of childhood nostalgia I have for this dish, with lots of wok hei, bouncy noodles, and the most tender of beef. I think my favorite beef chow fun in the city still lives at A+ Hong Kong Kitchen, but this is a close second. The portion here is also huge. I am a human vacuum and I actually brought leftovers home, which is rare for me. The pork with hot sauce noodles is seemingly a fusion of zha jiang mian and dan dan noodles. My friend really enjoyed it and actually finished the whole thing, which is saying something given that she doesn't usually eat that much. There are so many other items on the menu that I'm eager to try, so I will definitely be back.

When we went in, it was pretty empty. We were immediately sat, and ordered. The hot jasmine tea quickly followed.

I quickly surrendered as he does stab people...see above...he parried my fork and stabbed the last piece before quickly finishing the move. Our mains came out shortly after we finished the calamari.

The wife scoffed at the idea that there's such a thing as too much chili oil and ate some of his soup. This was after she dug into her hot pot. I did get a chance to sample the delicate pork pieces and the flavorful rice. The slightly crispy rice at the bottom of the pot were so delicious. I had the Singapore style fried noodles. Really tasty. The noodles had so many flavors from the vegetables to the meats (shrimp, chicken meat & egg, and pork) and the sauce. I enjoyed the meal, and look forward to discovering more dishes to try on our adventures trying to find parking. JuFeng, thank you for the delicious meal!

Also, when did we start calling it, "The International District". If we had Mexican, Italian and other ethnic restaurants in the neighborhood, I'd get on board, but not only do San Francisco, New York and L. A. have the biggest Chinatowns, cities also have Barrio's and Little Italy's, so clearly cultures are ok with us specifying. A friend brought up Scallion Beef, so I did a search, Scallion Beef is sometimes called Ginger Beef, so H Bistro came up in my results. Initially, I wondered if H Bistro was Hong Kong Bistro and they rebranded, but HKB is still in business and around the corner and not very good mind you. Reviews for H Bistro are strong and the photo's convinced me that this should be a better than average meal. People talked about the lunch special and since I had a meeting downtown in the afternoon, I thought I could pop in here before my meeting. Once there I was sat. I didn't see lunch on the menu, so I asked and was told, lunch was no longer offered. Again, with no website, I had to rely on Yelp so despite reviews from 2024 talking about lunch, it's not longer offered. I got the Ginger Beef and asked if they did soup by the cup and was also told no. That is why Chinese Lunch is so popular, you typically get soup, rice, entrée and even an appetizer. That is a full meal. I just had my entrée and rice. I asked for chili oil and was brought a very small portion, It had good flavor, but no heat. The entree was good, but without soup and appetizer it just wasn't well rounded. Also, the food would have benefited from being served on a hot iron plate. Not only does it add sear, but it keeps the dish hot. Post meal, I had hoped for a cookie and despite being a block from the fortune cookie factory, no cookie was served. Would I return, sure, with a large group, that would be the only way to truly experience the menu. With 2 people I could have added soup and appetizer as the entrée is also large enough for 2. That said, this was one the cleaner places in Chinatown. That is not to say Chinatown is dirty, but many restaurants need paint, have old furniture or have water stains. This place was fairly nice inside and could be classy with a few more bucks invested. This place really shot itself in the foot by discontinuing lunch, despite being decent, there was just too much disappointment today.
