Great variety of dim sum, and they still use the traditional carts on Sundays--which makes the whole experience even better. The regular menu is excellent too, with plenty of great options. The service is friendly and responsive, and the dim sum carts just keep coming! We usually end up taking more home than we actually eat. Definitely a great spot for dim sum and a fun, relaxed meal. read more

They have a new menu and they eliminated the dim sum carts except for the weekend! They renovated interior now includes Bakery 1908 inside this location. (See my new review) The dim sum is now prepared during the week by special order and is fantastic! It's better than it was before. There is a 15 - 20 minute wait for them to prepare your request and they came out piping hot and delicious. Service was great and the new atmosphere is clean. Hopefully this represents the new Yummy House that is being built in Ocala on SW 27 Avenue. The price point has increased and our lunch for five items was $55 for two including a 20% tip Still the best dim sum in Gainesville read more

Great service and super friendly staff. The onsite connected bakery has a large selection of goodies and even coffee stall for a pick me up. Can not wait to bring the rest of fam. Tried most of the dim sum but saw many large groups eating traditional American Chinese fare and did not see any complaints! Don't miss the mango mochi! read more

Yummy House - Shrimp ball - Cantonese Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I love Yummy House! It's a non negotiable anytime I'm in town. The staff is always so kind and patient. They have a bar and a bakery inside as well which is convenient. Our go-to order is the wonton soup, house fried rice and lo mein. The sesame chicken is a personal favorite. They have dim sum and their bistro fried rice for lunch is amazing. 10/10 recommend. read more

There is no way I would ever return to this overpriced flavorless food restaurant. The only thing they have going for them is tasty bakery goods. The description on Yelp does not match the food and is an insult to Chinese food. I also ordered Hong Noodle, but was already so disappointed, I didn't even take a photo. Another tastless dish. read more

Wife and I just had a really nice lunch. Service was excellent and the food was really good, especially compared to the take out only Chinese food places. We had pork fried rice, the sizzling shrimp player, and the Mongolian beef. Very nice atmosphere, seems they've redone it since the last time we went here, which was a long time ago. Only thing that would make me give it 5 stars instead of 4 would be if they had bbq pork spare ribs and Mai Tai drinks, seems they only have beer and wine. read more

This place is so much fun! It was my first time here with my family and it was a surprise to me that they bring different carts out and you can see what they have and get it right off the cart! Super fun for me and the kids! We easily tried 7 different things off the carts. Dumplings were delicious, sesame buns, egg tarts and so much more! We also ordered the sweet and sour chicken and chicken with veggies and both were so yummy! Definitely going back again soon! Great experience! read more

Amazing Chinese food - DIM SUM !!!! Service perhaps a little over-attentive Ambiance approaching that of the big Chinese restaurants that I have visited on Hong Kong Sadly, no Dim Sum carts at dinner, but an informative menu with pictures descriptions and prices of the Dim Sum dishes Hong Kong roasted duck was a huge portion and one of the kitchen specialty dim sum dishes , all priced at $12.99 If you know this strain of Cantonese cuisine, you will not be disappointed read more

I literally love yummy house dim sum. Fav pick me up / treat for anything. The service is good and my back grows a little bigger every time I get dim sum here. read more

Yummy House - Shrimp Dumpling - Cantonese Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Best dim sum in Gainesville. Yummy House is not a large sized dim sum restaurant like the ones you'd find in a large metropolitan city like NYC, LA, Seattle, or Chicago but for its size and location it does an impressive job with its variety of dim sum dishes. If you have not tried their dim sum, go and try it. Dim sum is traditional served during breakfast and lunch hours but now many restaurants serve it throughout the day. Dim sum is made up of small plates of steamed and fried dumplings, buns, and snacks served with tea. There is a large variety to chose from, and the ones I have tried from Yummy House: har gow, siu mai, sticky rice lotus leaf wrap, turnip cake, soup dumplings, braised chicken feet, pork buns, steamed stuff tofu skin rolls, egg custard tarts and egg custard buns, steamed black beef tripes, steamed shrimp balls, fried shrimp balls, shrimp rice noodle rolls, beef noodle rolls, roast pork puffs, shrimp chives, deep fried taro cake/puffs, peppers stuffed with shrimp, sesame balls, and I am sure I am forgetting some. For the past 10 years, Yummy House is where I go when I am craving dim sum and am in Gainesville. I am headed there today which made me realize that I'd never left a Yelp review of Yummy House Gainesville. They have other locations in Ocala and Tampa. I have only been to the Gainesville location. read more

I went in to pick up an order. Was waiting at the front for a while then finally someone came. The order was still not ready and I asked the Asian lady with glasses how much longer and she was rolling her eyes and giving bad attitudes. Food was alright; service needs to be improved. read more

food tastes horrible, everything is too sweet and vegetables were not thoroughly washed at all. one of my guests happened to bite into a pebble in one of the dishes and almost broke her dental crown. read more

Pickup experience felt noticeably inconsistent. While I was in line, I watched a white male customer at the counter being greeted warmly with full-service language ("Hi--of course!"), his name repeated back for confirmation, the bag slid forward into his reach, and a friendly closing ("Thanks for waiting--have a wonderful night!"). When it was my turn immediately after, the interaction felt markedly different. The HongKong cashier used clipped, directive language ("Name." "Order number?") and did not do the usual courtesy of repeating my name back or saying "Sure/one moment." When I offered to show my confirmation, I was told to read the details out loud and was asked, "Are you sure it's this location?" After the bag was found, it was placed on the inner side of the counter without being slid forward, and I was told to open it and "check it here" at the counter. Same counter, same time window, minutes/seconds apart. I'm sharing what I personally witnessed because the contrast left me feeling unwelcome. For the context, I'm Black. read more

Yummy House - Cantonese Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

We went for Dim Sum and they had the carts out, which was great. And the food was very fresh. I usually go to the two Yummy Houses in Tampa, but was up here visiting a friend...yeah ! So we decided to try this YH too. We did get shumai both for lunch and to take home for later ( My Favorite ) Shanghai dumplings, Hong Kong sticky rice ( My 2nd fav) and an order of Salt & Pepper fried chicken wings......I would have given 5 stars but for the fact that it was freezing in the restaurant and had to go outside to warm up then come back in to continue lunch....and also by the time the wings came out of the kitchen we had finished our Dim Sum, had everything packed for takeout and we just took the wings to-go. The wings btw were smaller and kinda over cooked.....the wings in the South Tampa YH were always big and juicy It wasn't very busy and it was before 2 pm read more

10 out of 10 on all accounts food was fresh service was amazing atmosphere was really great. Love this place.

Usually when we stop through Gainesville en route to or from Orlando, we grab fast food. But we were a bit sick of unhealthy fast food so we decided to find some Asian food. My dad suggested Yummy House so we ordered takeout at the restaurant. And PHEW the wait was FOREVER. I do prefer my food cooked up fresh for sure... but sheez. We ordered 3 dishes that we hoped would be relatively easy to munch on while en route home in the car: a house fried rice, a beef chow fun and a braised tofu dish. Not the best Chinese food I've ever had - seeing beef chow fun on the menu I thought it would be a little more authentic but everything tasted like typical Chinese takeout. I would say, coming from Atlanta, I'm pretty disappointed but I'm sure it's not bad for a Chinese restaurant in Gainesville. read more

I have been to Yummy House a number of times over the years, and frankly it is now falling into the category of restaurants that I have labeled "Only if invited". This is kind of sad, because in the beginning (and I am talking about when they were over on Newberry Road) they were so good! The one dish that I have always loved hasn't changed, and is still just as good now as it was back then: The Salt and Pepper Shrimp. I love this dish! They do it just right, and the pop you get when you bite into one of those shrimp is just perfect. Unfortunately, the rest has just declined over the years. My mom was just not satisfied with her dish, and mine wasn't much better. We probably should have just ordered two plates of the shrimp and some white rice and been done with it. Frankly, I have never really liked the new location. The old one had a happy atmosphere about it, even though it was a bit cramped. There was just a liveliness about it that was completely lost when the new location was opened. Today it is just this sterile dining area that feels kind of oppressive when you are eating. Sadly, there is no chance of going back to the old location... that ship has sailed. Can something be done? Perhaps, but I just don't see it happening. read more

I finally got a chance to try Yummy House for some takeout on a Monday afternoon. Even around lunchtime on a weekday the inside of the restaurant was packed. Picking up takeout was pretty easy, just enter and go immediately to the cash register at the end of the bar to pay. I ordered the salt and pepper calamari and the lunch special Spicy Yummy Chicken (crispy chicken stir fried with asparagus and fresh mushrooms in their spicy yummy sauce). The calamari were unique, mostly because they were tossed in Yummy House's famous salt and pepper mix (fresh green onions, cilantro, roasted garlic and minced chili). The portion was massive for an appetizer, leaving plenty leftover for another meal. The Spicy Yummy Chicken was good, although I would say it was nothing mind-blowing that I would immediately need to order again. Overall I was impressed with all different options on the menu, giving me plenty of reasons to check out Yummy House again soon. read more

Excellent dim sum. You can order from the menu or choose from the carts. Our favorites include the taro puffs, shu mai, har gow, sticky rice in lotus leaves, sesame balls and their delicious crab balls. The dim sum are huge so try not to over order or you'll be taking a box home. Great service and fairly priced for the great quality and ingredients. read more

For someone who is craving Chinese dim sum, this is the place to go! One of the only places in Gainesville but it does the job. They classically have the push carts and let you pick from there.

We have been eating at the yummy house for many years and love the food. I ordered the salt and pepper pork chops like I always do. However, there was no flavor on the pork chops and chewing them was like cheweirg rubber. The server told us they changed how the cooked the pork chops. Also, they remodeled the whole restaurant. We felt like we were in a box and did not enjoy the experience. I don't think we will be back.... read more

I'm going to preface this by saying that I don't know the motivation behind renovating the restaurant and converting half of the dining area into a bakery/cafe. However, the recent renovation this place underwent is such an abomination that I don't even know where to start. They lost all the esthetic of a Chinese Cantonese restaurant and now looks like a hospital cafeteria! Whoever thought of this rebrand must have been the same people who did the Cracker Barrel renovation. While the food is still decent, they also limited the choices on the dimsum cart. You now have to order from the menu! I feel bad for the staff who now have to contend with very long lines! Will probably not be back. Too bad! Please stop trying to modernize everything. This was a pretty decent dimsum place. read more

Wiw! Excellent service, great selections, affable and helpful personnel. dim sum selection plentiful and fresh. beverages (water, tea and cokes) kept filled to the point you had to say 'no more please'. In addition to Dim Sum we also ordered a number of dishes off menu. Every one of them was enough for 2 or more! plentiful. Well prepared, very tasty and enjoyable. There were 8 of us and to the person we are all extremely pleased with guys choice of restaurants during our 4 days in Gainesville. Enough so that it was a highlight of our visit to the town! read more

Overall 5/5 Food:5/5 sooooooooo good! All the dim sum they had were bigger than other places I've had dim sum, which made me think they were homemade. There was a specific dumpling that they served that was, I'm sure, homemade dumpling wrappers. I was there for the dim sum. I didn't order any entrees. For those that are adventurous, definitely try the chicken feet! Sooo good!!! I've also had the siu mai, har gow, sticky rice, fried shrimp balls, braised beef short ribs, eggplant with shrimp, bbq pork buns, pork dumplings, sticky rice shrimp balls, and probably some other stuff lol I had zero complaints about the food! Yummy House really lives up to its name. Service 5/5: always had my water filled and the cart came by often. They were also very prompt with any request. Setting: very nice and clean! Definitely a group type of place to eat. read more

Food is good, music was loud and apparently for the staff as it was Rap and R&B. Judging by the demographics not a customer there would appreciate it. Recently removed fountain drinks, you get a can and a glass of ice. Other than that.. ok read more

A friend d absolutely loves this place and it was her birthday so a group went. They were able to accommodate eight of us right away. The waitress did well with the different rapid fire requests being made. I had the seafood rice bowl with tofu. There was more tofu than seafood. It was good. I would probably order something different. I expected the rice to be crispy on the base of the steaming bowl. Everything was more moist like. A friend next to me ordered an appetizer with friend calamari and shrimp, she wasn't that enthralled with the flavor. I tried a piece and it was okay. I wouldn't order it though. The spring rolls were really hot and tasty. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food. I have been there in the past and have enjoyed the crispy rice bowl. This time it came out differently. I will be back next time I'm in the area to try something new. Enjoy! read more

Yummy house has great regional Chinese food. It is Cantonese so nothing is scaldingly spicy. You can always add chili oil to ramp it up. We love anything "salt and pepper" flavored but the salt and pepper calamari is our favorite. Dim sum is great at lunch time. Only place in Gainesville with the rolling carts. It's not quite as nice as the big city dim sum but still delicious. read more
