If you're looking to try some Hong Kong style cuisine, Yummy Cafe would have been the place to go to! I am very sad that they closed down, and it feels heavy in my heart as I'm writing this review. When you first step in, you are hit by a wave of nostalgia and it feels like you've been brought back to your childhood. The restaurant gives off a feeling of being back home and it's decorated simply with some pictures of their food on the walls. The servers are friendly and straightforward, which is something I'm used to with other Asian restaurants. My favorite item to get was the stir fried chow fun with chicken. Every time I ordered, it was cooked to perfection! The noodles had a great texture and the dish was seasoned nicely overall. I also liked to order a Hong-Kong milk tea on the side with it as part of the lunch special. The wait time for the food wasn't that long, as I typically come with a few people every time I go. I will miss Yummy Cafe, and I really hope they open up again in the future. The food was made perfectly each time I visited and it does not disappoint in any way. Thank you Yummy Cafe for the wonderful experiences I had! read more

Yummy Cafe - Stir fried Chicken Chow Fun - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

We have been on the lookout for a HK style cafe since relocating from the Bay Area and we're happy to say this is it! Visited (twice now) on Saturday afternoons after perusing the Midtown Farmer's Market. This is the type of place where you know locals frequent. Tons of menu options and authentic tastes await. Look around on the walls for postings of (seasonal) specials/menu add-ons. We were checked on frequently and had everything we needed. If you pay in cash there's a discount on your total. We're sure to hit this place up whenever we're in Sac! read more

This place is so nostalgic because coming here always brings back memories of good times with family. It also has major Hong Kong cafe vibes, and the pictures on the walls are such a throwback. I don't come here often anymore, but it seems like the price always increases by $1 every time I visit. A few years ago, I clearly remember how it used to only be $10.99 for their lunch special and now it has slowly increased to $13.99! They have a special lunch deal that comes with your choice of a selected drink. I like to get either an iced lemon tea or milk tea. They have a lot of lunch entrees available. I usually get the stir fry black pepper chicken udon, baked pork chop spaghetti, or spicy Szechuan chicken and rice. The food is flavorful and yummy, but portions could be bigger. After finishing a plate of food, I am always wanting more! Their Hong Kong milk tea is strong and perfectly sweetened. It gives me the shivers if I drink it too fast, so I would sip on it and take it to go if I can't finish it. The lemon tea is refreshing as well and is a good palette cleanser! read more

This review is solely based on the baked spaghetti. I Used to come here a lot for the baked spaghetti with meat sauce but it looks like they might've changed owners and the recipe. It doesn't taste the same. I don't think I'll ever find a place that makes it like they used to. So sad. read more

We were craving for good Taiwanese / Chinese food and found this restaurant. We arrived around noon and were seated immediately although it was pretty busy. - baked pork chop on rice: the dish tasted good but the pork chop was thin. - salted fish & chicken fried rice: the portion was very generous for the price. I requested lots of salted fish and they did gave lots of them. - hot milk tea: good, creamy and perfect sweetness read more

Amazing service. We called ahead and order. The food is ready on the table when we walk in. Save time especially when have hungry trip-mate who eats a lot! . Lemon tea is also legit.

Friendly staff. Food is hit and miss. Salted fish chicken fried rice: 2.5/5. Bland. Not enough salted fish bits. Hey, at least it was warm this time! Scrambled egg & seafood chow fun: 3/5. The chow fun was good. Not stingy on the seafood. But the sauce was a bit disappointing. Wonton noodle soup: 4/5. The wonton tasted good, but the shrimp was a bit small. Noodle was perfect. The soup was also good. Mango pudding: 4/5. For only $2.50, it's a must have. It has also mango jelly and mango bits. Egg puff: 4/5. Great taste. Sweet, but not too sweet. The only complain: it wasn't crispy enough on the outside. Mango sago: 3/5. The tapioca was too hard. Undercooked? Borscht soup: 3/5. Full of ingredients. When it came out, you could smell the flagrance! Unfortunately, it lacked a bit of taste. Not sweet and sour enough. read more

Yummy Cafe - Salt and pepper Chicken wings, Chicken Chow Fun, baked fish over fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Sacramento, California

Been about 10 years since I eaten here. I think this used to be Yummy Guide. The food was just ok. Pricing has gone up for smaller and less quality dishes. $15 for salt n pepper tofu was a bit on the high end for this low cost ingredient appetizer. The beef crispy noodles was seasoned well. The pork rib stir fried eggplants were missing black beans as described. I was more excited to see Mango Sago as a dessert, but turns out all they did was made frozen mango smoothie and poured it in a bowl and added some sago to it. It tasted nothing like the Chinese dessert I was used to. And the black sesame dumpling soup completely lack sweetness. This was not one of my best experiences here as far as food taste, and desserts. The staff was friendly and sweet. read more

Sadly our 'Sunday night' family dinner place is closing...and we are not in town to give our goodbyes and gratitude to Lina, Anna and the chef (who looks like my dad's buddy)! The food and service was always superb...they know our preferences regarding lower salt/no msg /hot water. Unknown their reason for closing but wishing them the best in life from this day forward. We will miss you guys very much!! read more

This is my first time eating at this restaurant, so I didn't know what to expect in terms of food, service, prices, etc. The place was not busy so we were seated right away. I decided to try the String Beans with Chicken and Fried Rice, and my colleague ordered the salted fish with fried rice. The presentation was pretty simple, nice, and clean and appetizing. The chicken tasted really good; however, the string beans were a little on the overcooked side. I prefer my string beans cooked on the crunchy side and not overcooked making the beans too soft. The flavor was really good. The lady that helped us seated, also took our order, served us water, served our food, and was our cashier. She was very pleasant and attentive to our needs. Overall, our experience with this restaurant was very good. If I ever come around this area, I will definitely come back and maybe try other menu items. If you're looking for something simple and quick to eat, I definitely recommend this place. read more

I love Yummy Cafe! This place was the spot when I was in college, they used to be open till 2 in the morning yet they close earlier now. The highlight of this place is their lunch specials, for $10.99 you get an entree and choice of milk tea, hot tea, or soda I believe. Which isn't bad for today prices. I ordered many things here and yet the highlight of this place is the salt n pepper pork chops. The pork is very tasty with just the right salt and spice. I will order this again! I also really like their milk tea, it's Hong Kong Style which it is hard to find some days. If your in the area for lunch I would strongly recommend this place! This is definitely a hidden gem that serves authentic Chinese (Cantonese food). I'll be back to try the bake pork chop spaghetti! read more

I ordered from here in a state of despair after too many drinks last night and Yummy Cafe brought me back to life. The wonton noodle soup was the perfect flavor from the broth to the egg noodles and the wontons. Probably the best in Sacramento for the price. I also got a hot lemon honey tea that healed my soul. It was sweet from the honey but also had a slight bitter bite from the lemon that was quite enjoyable. Yummy Cafe is out here saving lives. read more

Wonderful customer service. We came late and they were about to close. (~30 minutes before). They didn't rush us or gave us looks when it got closer to closing time. They offered us a complimentary egg puff which was super kind of them! I really enjoyed the salt and pepper tofu. The seasoning was flavorful. I didn't enjoy the mango pudding though. read more

Calling all Hong Kong cafe fans in Sacramento! Yummy Cafe hits the spot for those nostalgic flavors and classic dishes.

Fresh pulled noodle dish was yummy and had that chow fun flavor from the wok. They offer a cute frozen milk tea bear to add to your drink!

On a Saturday it was near 8pm and we were starving. Up to me to pick a good grub spot. It was cool with the warmer weather pulling back and dropping some rain earlier in the day. It seemed as we all agreed on some warm or hot soup. Asking my teen and giving her the option of Pho, ramen, noodle soup or congee, she chose congee. I found a bevy of options and settled on Yummy Cafe. Upon arrival inside, I noticed I have been here a few times over the past 20 years. We ordered a bowl of fish fillet congee or fish fillet congee with preserved egg. I got some Chinese donut to go with the congee. In Cantonese we call congee "jook". Nourishing rice soup good any time of the year but especially when it is cold outside. I later added a dry beef chow fun. Also, an item that caught our eye was the Hong Kong toast. We got the one with peanut butter. Congee: Awesome. Nice and hot. Perfect flavoring. An ample amount of fish fillet pieces. Delicious for sure. Dry beef chow fun: Not bad at all. It had a slight smoky wok flavor. Not as good as some I have had. Too many onions. A tad light on beef. Not a lot. Just a tad. Peanut butter condensed milk toast: A solid rendition of this HK fav. Sweet and and peanut buttery goodness! When I was 10 and visiting my late grandma in HK, I remember this being served for breakfast by her servants/cook. Also fresh fruit, English tea, Horlick's, Ovaltine, Tang, Marie's crackers and more food and drink she had on hand. A must try! In summary, this is a small authentic spot serving up HK cuisine. Oh man, so many items I wanted to try. They also do a baked spaghetti over pork chop! Some creamy pasta, noodle soups, wonton soups, many kinds of congee and great HK style desserts including banana split with mango and green tea ice cream! They also serve teas, boba and other drinks. Daily specials also. I can't wait to return and try more. Hopefully sooner than later! The best part is......they open until 1:30AM on weekdays and 2:30AM on Friday and Saturday for night owls! Hard to find late night eats in Sac except near drinking holes. This is a true winner! read more

I've been coming here for over 5 years. The only HK cafe I know so far in Sac. Best HK comfort food hands down. They open til very late and thats just one perk! So while I chose to hit the cafe when I'm in town, I took a trip down memory lane. Sure, the cafe is all newly renovated and whatnot, but the nostalgia is there and the building still stands. New owners, but all hail to them for keeping a wonderful memory alive. Big menu, and I love most of their desserts. I probably tried the whole menu by now. Egg puffs are eclectic. You will not find them anywhere else that makes them like these. I used to love their rice dishes, especially the fried rice. If I remembered them years ago, they are worth remembering now. Some of the dishes are a hit and miss. I normally avoid the salty dishes, as they tend to be overly salty. In any case, I would definitely let the servers know if there's anything wrong so I would have an enjoyable meal. No need for that yet. Servers are very attentive and sweet. They tend to get a little stare-y though. I don't mind though. Since I have a partner who's from Hong Kong himself, I decided to take him here for the first time to see if these comfort foods really hit home for him! And it sure did! We proceeded to order curry fish balls, icecream red bean tea, and the original egg puffs. My partner says these are what he used to get in HK at vendors on the street. He would tell me his wholesome experiences and it sure made a nostalgic moment for him right then and there. He hasn't been back to HK in years. Egg puffs are a hit here, be sure to get them. Many varieties available. Strawberry, mango, and whatever else they have. Icecream red bean slush was yummy! But my partner says not enough slush for him. Nonetheless delicious. Curry fish balls were okay. But it did make my partner snack on it enjoyably. So there ya have it, good ol' HK comfort food. Food that sparks nostalgia: the real definition of comfort food. Definitely will find our way back. This place is seriously underrated. read more

I do appreciate the Hong Kong comfort food that Yummy Cafe serves up. There are not a lot of places that offer this type of food in Sacto. Plus they do serve up the basic Chinese food, but I don't come here for that or the boba. What the heck is HK comfort food you may ask. Well, google it. My take is in post WW II Hong Kong experienced a change to the food scene due to the mix of cultures residing in HK. British, American, and Chinese mix of comfort food. Thus you get one of my favorite dishes of baked pork chop over spaghetti. The chop is boneless and is served sliced on top of spaghetti and covered with tomato purée (not marinara). It is baked and broiled a bit and served in a stainless steel tray. It is Served hot with a slight crisp top crust. I love the slight sound of a crackle that the crust makes when I dig into it with the long edge of the fork prong. The flavors are basic. Yummy Cafe has it as a lunch special $8.25 and comes with your choice of milk tea, lemon tea, coffee, or soda. The iced lemon tea is fresh made but they put syrup sweetener in it. It was tasty, but really sweet. Another favorite of mine is the egg puff. I first came here nearly 20 years ago. That was the first time I ever tasted a egg puff. It was delicious and is still. Their version is not overly sweet or vanilla tasting. It comes out hot and on a wire rack, the rack allows it to crisp up as it cools. The egg puff crackles as you tear each bubble off. Another favorite is the HK French toast. Sliced white bread sandwich slices dipped in egg batter and pan fried in butter. Decadent foolish deliciousness. I like the peanut butter version. The menu choices are eclectic and not your typical Chinese fare. However, if you don't speak Cantonese or Mandarin, it may be difficult to communicate especially if you have questions about the menu. The staff speaks English but limited. The menu is huge. My advice is not to overthink the menu. Plus if you have food allergies or diet restrictions, this is not your type of place. Plus the interior is basic, simple bare bones. The furniture is several decades old. The place is a hole in the wall. No cute fancy furnishings or decor. The tv is set to the Mandarin channel. Parking is easy peasy since they have their own lot with plenty of parking in the back. read more

After moving to the States for 3 years, I have never been to anywhere reminds me of Hong Kong like Yummy Cafe. Staffs are really nice and they will actually engage with you to recommend what's good on the menu. My personal favourite is the black pepper stir-fry spaghetti. Flavour is rich and the portion is huge. Perfect for my post-workout protein intake. I Love their milk tea as well. It's not like Thai milk tea and Taiwanese boba milk tea. It is THE milk tea, Hong-Kong-styled. read more
