    Shrimp Dumplings with Scallops ($8.95 since it's a "SP" option)
    Ryan N.

    Now THIS is a great dim sum place! Although there aren't any carts being pushed out like at Panda King in Gretna, all of the food was still fresh and tasty. Service was quick with our orders. The inside was clean and had enough seating, in contrast to Dian Xin in New Orleans. My mom and I tried about 8 of their dim sum options. All of them were really good, but I'd personally recommend their Crispy Taro Dumpling with Pork & Shrimp ($5.99), Shrimp Dumplings with Scallops ($8.95), and Salted Egg Buns ($6.99). For the quality of the dishes, I'd say it's worth trying. With pun intended, Yummy House in Kenner is YUMMY! *I do want to note that their dim sum pricing is located on their dim sum sheet instead of the menu, as they base it on sizing. That can be a bit confusing, so I do want to let you guys know that.

    Great place to get dim sum especially near the airport. They have a large selection and I definitely appreciate how there's pictures for each dim sum item. I love the hours of this place as well. The food comes out hot and fresh. My favorites were the shrimp dumplings. I highly recommend this place and when I would come back.

    Yummy House - is pretty good solid option for DimSum and Chinese food in Kenner - this is our first time here and we'd definitely come back. This place is not the typical pushcart dimsum which is fine with me, because sometimes I wonder if what I want is coming thru the cart, I like that I can order and that it comes out fresh. In this trip. We ordered the following as pictured, roasted pork bun, Chinese broccoli, chicken feet, shrimp noodle, curry squid, and soup dumpling. The food I say is an overall 3.5/5 my favorite was the roasted pork bun and the curry squid. To me, the soup dumpling was off, the dumpling was thick and it was hard on the outside (maybe it was off that day as I'm seeing good reviews on the dumpling here), other selections were good and tasted as expected. Service was also great, they consistently checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. Ambiance is a typical dimsum spot, and we went here on a weekday so it was not crowded.

    Pork Buns

    3.5 stars. Service was very quick. I got the pork buns, crispy shrimp/pork dumplings, & Hong Kong soup. Nothing blew me away. I liked the soup but the meat inside the dumpling was not very tender. The crispy dumplings were probably my favorite with a good tasting filling. I will be trying it again, as it was my first foray into dim sum.

    What!? Dim Sum in Kenner and available every day of the week!! Heck yeah I'm happy! I visited on a Wednesday with mom and sister, and the place was moderately busy. The majority of the customers were Asian. These are good signs that the location and community will support this Cantonese tradition in this suburb of New Orleans. I'm not sure if they offer cart service on weekends, but on our visit we marked a sheet with our dim sum order. There is a picture menu to help with identifying the items. This method is sometimes better than the rolling carts. Your items are cooked to order, and you don't need to hope for items you want to be on the carts. I was very pleased with wide variety of dim sums on the menu. We ordered Shrimp Stuffed in Eggplant, Bean Curd Skin Roll with Pork and Shrimp, Steamed Rice Noodle Roll with Beef Short Rib, Sticky Rice with Pork wrapped in Lotus Leaf, and Curry Squid. Overall I thought the quality was pretty good. Thank you Yummy House, and I'm certain that I'll be back.

    I ordered take out here because I was craving dim sum and it's the only spot in Kenner to my knowledge that offers it. It's a small, family owned business. The dim sum was really good. It's a little pricey compared to what I've spent out of town but it hit the spot. The service was typical for a pick up an hour before closing experience. I'll have to come back to dine in soon.

    We were hoping this place would outdo their dim sum competitor so we wouldn't have to travel far anymore. I've read other bad reviews and was a little hesitant trying it out. However, it wasn't too bad. The restaurant wasn't too packed when we came but we still stood at the door for a few minutes without being acknowledged before I decided to go straight to the counter to ask if it was a seat yourself or what kind of deal. It was a wait to be seated ordeal, but of course, the employees only decided to glance quickly at us and carried on. Either way, we sat and quickly ordered. They serve more than just dim sum. There's also Chinese food and authentic Chinese specials on the board. I noticed some of the Vietnamese translations of the items were wrong, too, but I'm guessing they used Google Translate. You'll still be able to navigate the menu, though, as some do have pictures. They also have large tables with a lazy Susan to have a family style meal. The menu is large enough to have options for everyone. Everything is made to order. There are no push carts for dim sum, so be prepared for a slightly longer wait time. Overall, the food was ok, mediocre. It's close enough to get you through your dim sum cravings if you live in the Metairie or Kenner area.

    Came back to give them another try with family. Better experience than my initial visit when they just opened. Food is still fresh to order and no hovering waiter. They have grown in clientele which they were pretty busy with most of the tables filled up. With a busy restaurant, they seem to keep up with everybody which everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Thankfully the food is fresh to order which got me back to a nice, bustling restaurant.

    Beautiful restaurant right by the airport! Everything was tasty and authentic, and the service was excellent! It was my first time having dim sum, and I'm really glad that I tried it here. I'll be back soon!

    This review is for their Dim Sum menu. Overall their Dim Sum is very good and fresh. I've dined in twice and ordered take out a few times. Everything was fresh and made to order except the bbq pork buns on one occasion but let me tell you why. The first time we ordered it we saw them bake them fresh. It's understandable to not bake 1 order at a time, so they baked about 3 orders. That time it was very fresh for us but whoever may order it after us may not get the same experience. The next time we had it it was warm but you can taste and see the difference in the bun. (Assuming someone ordered it earlier and the order we got was one of the extra ones.) But the filling was consistent and very good. This isn't a big deal as most items aren't made to order/perfectly fresh at any push cart dim sum place. Everything else we ordered came out very hot and was delicious. I even craved for some items I don't normally eat, such as the pan fried radish cake, sesame balls, and banana leaf sticky rice. All 3 were delicious! Their chili sauce on their dining tables are delicious and VERY hot. I'm used to the chili sauces not having much kick to them and mistakenly added too much to my soy sauce. Their sauce is legit. (If you order to go they don't give you the sauce, you'll have to ask for it.) Service is average and the restaurant is clean. The service isn't exceptional but it's typical at a more traditional Chinese restaurant for them to give you your space and check on you from afar. When we did need something it wasn't an issue getting someone's attention. Highlights I always order: - Fried Shrimp Balls (ask for a side of sweet and sour sauce to dip) - Steamed rice roll with shrimp - Steamed rice roll with fried bread (Very good but I would only order this for dine in. When I had it for take out, the steam made the bread mushy by the time I got home.) Everything else I'd still highly recommend. Only item I had that I didn't like was the shumai. Maybe I'll give it another try but the first time the texture was off. The ground meat mixture (pork and maybe shrimp?) didn't have any texture and just tasted soft and mushy. Overall they're my go to dim sum place. I love that it's fresh, made to order, and available daily during all hours! Having dim sum for dinner at 9pm just hits different.

    Came here in October 2023. Our table (6 people) ordered just enough to satisfy our tummies and kept the cost down to $23. We ordered roast pork buns, beef short ribs, steamed rices rolls with shrimp, and shumai (not pictured) which were memorably delicious and satisfying (and inexpensive). I think we ordered a couple others too, but I don't remember them. Highly recommend as a Sunday dim sum place. I think our group arrived right as it opened (10:30AM), and the place filled up pretty quickly 30 minutes afterwards. Arrive early!

The location is fun and creative (food arriving by dumbwaiter never gets old), but the lack of tables makes it tricky if you're planning on more than a quick bite. The menu itself is wickedly tempting, and the flavors are there--the wings especially were excellent. Easily some of the best chicken I've had in the city. My only real issue was the salt. And not the soy sauce or seasoning kind you'd expect with dim sum--just straightforward table salt. We ordered four dishes, and I was glad I saved the wings for last since they were the least salty. By the time I circled back through the other plates, all I could taste was salt, which sadly masked what were otherwise really well-balanced, flavorful dishes (the Dan Dan dumplings in particular had great flavor underneath it all). Overall: clever concept, fun atmosphere, tasty food--but dialing back the salt would take it from good to outstanding. Solid 3/5.

I love that he has found a consistent location because it makes it easier to get my fix. I always order the dumplings and rangoons as staples but everything else is always so flavorful, unique and filling as well.

Rather than pursuing a burger, I decided to try this well regarded Chinese restaurant across the street from my hotel. This review is based on one item I got for takeout: Szechuan Beef. I am never one to equate quantity with quality. I'm also not well-versed in authentic Chinese. I'm mostly familiar with American Chinese. I ordered Szechuan beef expecting a dry stir fry of beef strips tossed with dried Szechuan peppers. Instead I got a 1 quart container with a zesty, moderately spicy broth loaded with tender strips of melt-in-your-mouth beef. This was pure heaven, and was an explosion of tangy flavor. The quart could've easily served a family of 4. That would just require another side of rice. This was just outstanding! The restaurant was compact yet inviting and service was great.

When the bill arrived, I noticed I had been charged extra for the broccoli and also charged for shrimp--even though shrimp was already the protein included in the menu item I ordered. I politely questioned the charge, and the explanation I received didn't seem to match what was stated on the menu. I then asked to speak with a manager so the issue could be addressed. After quite a bit of discussion in the kitchen, the server returned, but instead of a manager coming out, I was given essentially the same explanation we had already discussed. I calmly explained why the charges didn't make sense and expressed that I was unhappy with how the situation was being handled. Unfortunately, there seemed to be little interest in resolving the concern or retaining my business. The food is fine, but my advice is to carefully review your bill before paying. Based on my experience, management does not appear particularly concerned when customers raise billing issues.

Additionally, the chicken pho broth lacked flavor and tasted more like dirty water than a properly prepared pho broth. Service was also lacking. Throughout much of our visit, several staff members appeared to be sitting at the bar on their phones rather than actively attending to guests. The overall hospitality did not meet our expectations. To make matters worse, when paying with tap-to-pay, the gratuity screen only presented tip options of 20%, 22%, and 25%. The server held the payment tablet while we completed the transaction, creating an uncomfortable situation where customers may feel pressured to leave a substantial tip regardless of the quality of service received. Given the level of service we experienced, this left a particularly poor impression. Based on our experience with both the food quality and customer service, I would not recommend this restaurant to others looking for a place to eat while visiting the area.
