This is one of those 'hole in the wall' places that hide in plain sight. Known for their clay pot specials, there's a great selection. The beef chow fun was brimming with delicious flavors, and lots of onions. Helpful service. Loved by locals. Enjoy! read more

This is a typical hole-in-the-wall, cash-only dining spot with mostly local Asian diners. The lady server was nice and attentive. Food came out quickly. Will definitely be back to try other items from the dimsum and regular menu. read more

Hole in the wall restaurant that is always filled with locals. It's almost winter solstice so was craving some tangyuan - Yummy Yummy has a savory Toisan tangyuan that is delicious. The glutinous rice balls come in a large bowl of savory soup with dried shrimp, Chinese sausage, cabbage, etc. Highly recommend to warm yourself up in this cold! Another menu highlight was something posted in Chinese on the walls: beef tendon rice roll clay pot. I'm a huge fan of beef tendon but never had this combo -- worked super well together. read more

It's a hole in a wall Chinatown restaurant. Can't expect perfect service, but food is usually decent. I'd give this place a solid 3.5 stars for food but rounded up 1/2 a star because we've had better food the other times dining here. BBQ PORK and SHRIMP RICE NOODLE ROLLS: We come here for their rice noodle rolls. They're really soft and melt in your mouth, GOOD! And they give a big portion for that dish. 5/5 BEEF BRISKET WONTON NOODLE SOUP: This dish is good and pretty hearty. Decent flavor and not overly salty. The wonton meat filling was quite soft too. 5/5 STEAMED EGG CUSTARD BUNS: I was disappointed with these buns. They did not taste fresh. In fact, they tasted old even though they were steamed. The bread was hard and inside did not liquify and was also hard and crumbly. I'm assuming that these were frozen or refrigerated and they did not steam them long enough. I think microwaving them would have been better. We won't order this again. 2/5 Next time, we'll stick with the noodle rice rolls because that dish never disappoints! read more

Didn't get the dim sum so I can only speak to the mains. The food from this place is from the Toisan region so not really my palate food-wise. Tried the porridge, salted fish and pork belly, veggies with garlic and Szechuan fish. I liked the flavor of the latter. Service is a bit slow and the place is intimate. read more

The food here is Excellent! I love the hong kong style noodles as well. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Would I eat here again if back in the neighborhood and seeking a reliable Pho spot? Probably. Would I come all the way to the Sunset for this (from downtown)? Probably not. Stopped by here for a quick Sunday lunch. Got seated immediately without a wait, restaurant was pretty full. The waiter did stop by a little too quickly after we sat down, but otherwise was very friendly and pleasant (I'm not Vietnamese but yes Asian). Started with an order of the Banh Khot (we actually ordered Banh Cuon, but guess he might have heard us wrong), decent! It was a little bit doughier than some others I've tried, but still good. I personally got the Pho as my entree - generous portions with plenty of sliced beef and beef balls (a custom combo). Thought it was quite good, but definitely one of those meals that leave you a bit thirsty after. Would advise against getting the Viet coffee unless you love your coffee extremely sweet, but otherwise reliable neighborhood spot! read more

Good food that filled my belly while walking the neighborhood. CASH ONLY! Service was quick.

Ever since Yelp came out with a photo contest, I'm less inclined to take pictures? Not good enough? Or have people already catched that beautiful photo? Or i'm too hungry to care. Probably the latter. You got to try the fish bone claypot. Fried and stewed in clay pot with tofu. Dish for 3 people. Crunch your way to the fish bones, and the tofu will melt in your mouth. So much flavor, of course, garlic. Tiny cabbage, but not enough. Tiny gravy. Also, I had bittermelon wrapped in rice noodle. It's an acquired taste with bittermelon. Stick to getting a whole plate of bittermelon. the fried dim sum (ham siu gok) that is light beige color really hit the hungry spot. So fresh. Cash only. Be brave , try the fish bone with tofu. There is lots of fish meat. I just emphasize tasting the crunchy fried bones. You won't regret it. Also had the rice noodle with chicken. Just watch what the seniors eat and copy them. They know what's good. This place is so affordable and good. For the price we pay we get two meals and leftovers. Tea is $1 per person but it is real tea leaves not that tea bag thing. The service was great. You scream in cantonese, and they listen. Go for the food. They are busy and sorry this is not the michelin service. read more

758 Pacific Avenue location. The food was mediocre at best. I ordered shrimp * blk bean sauce over rice and I felt sick a quarterway through the meal. I paid for my meal and the waitress had the audacity to ask for a tip. And then they demanded a tip. The interesting thing about that is the guests next to us didn't tip and she didn't say anything. Ugh... never again. read more

My family and relatives enjoy coming to this place. There's usually no wait and it's good for large groups. The service is not the best but what else can you expect when you are in the heart of Chinatown. The menu offers dimsum, soups, noodle soups, and other typical Chinese dishes that include meat, vegetables, etc. The food for the most part is ok. The prices are reasonable. The one thing that I enjoyed the most was the Wonton noodle soup. It's very comforting, the egg noodles are chewy, and the wontons are juicy and delicious. read more

Excellent chicken chow mein and steamed pork bow was tasty. Restaurant was full of locals, we were lucky to find an empty table. Will return! read more

This is what we were looking for - an old-school dim sum place. This place can be a little intimidating for tourists and those not used to the ways of Chinatown, but get yourself over to this place (next to the former New Asia/Asia Garden that has now been converted into a market). 90% of the clientele are old folks from Chinatown, but we managed to grab a table. Interesting that the chairs have these fancy covers - something tells me they got them when New Asia closed next door. They have a limited dim sum menu, but you just need to ask for some of your favorites and they'll get it for you if they make it. We ordered lots of dishes for the four of us and it was $74 total! We added a few more dishes after we initially ordered and the waitress had a recommendation or two as well. The real slice of Chinatown was one table that broke out a bottle of Jameson Irish Whisky (full-size fifth) and a table that had a compact Hennesey bottle (clearly had been refilled before). There was also the table of 5 old guys in the back who were just shooting the bull - no food in sight. Definitely a slice of Chinatown and we really enjoyed it. read more

Yummy Yummy is located on Pacific in Chinatown in San Francisco. I happened to be in Chinatown looking for a quick bite to eat. This restaurant would do the trick. The staff all spoke Cantonese (and English). Originally I had planned to have Dim Sum, but their specials on the wall (in Chinese) offered some interesting eats. So I ordered the House Special Lai Fun Clay Pot and the Pork Spareribs Clay Pot. For dessert, I got one Dim Sum item -- the Black Sesame Rolls. The food came out pretty quickly -- tasty and hearty. The Black Sesame Rolls weren't Rolls but more like Gelatin -- also good. I would definitely come back. read more

I almost don't want to write this because I love this gem so much for pho! I don't want it even more crowded than it already is. But hands down, this place is the best spot for Vietnamese family style and pho in San Francisco. my roommates and I would often make our way over here for hangover soup. the only thing that is not so fun is they usually close during the summer time and go on family vacation! It's hard to live without them during that time. read more

Man the beef pho here I can legitimately say is the best pho I have ever had. The 5 spice chicken is similarly extremely good. The broth is filled with so much condensed flavor it's hard to describe. Service wise my experience was just average, but granted they are typically very busy I wouldn't hold it against them. Def give them a shot! read more

A no frills place that satisfies the dim sum craving. You order at the counter, pay and can take out or find a table to sit and eat at. The portions and prices are very reasonable, although some things were cold depending on how long they have been sitting out. Good place to stop for a quick bite to eat. They also offer bakery items in addition to typical dim sum fare. read more

Incredible food! We had the lemon chicken, BBQ pork buns, shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and deep fried sesame balls. all were delicious and the service was prompt. despite being english-speakers in the heart of chinatown we were met with patient wait staff. if you're looking for dim sum in SF this is the place! note: cash only!!! read more

After a long day at the California Academy of Science, my family wanted hot noodle soup and came upon this place. It is a quaint little restaurant with a bunch of locals eating. The atmosphere is very casual pho restaurant. Service was excellent. Our sever was attentive and very helpful. Pho Dac Biet was good. A little sweet so not quite traditional for my taste buds. Chicken pho was good too. The salt and pepper wings were tasty. They had other tasty options that I did not try. Maybe next time. Recommend for a quick fix of Vietnamese food. read more

Looking at the dim sum, price isn't too bad. There is not a lot of selections but it's all under $3. I ordered a 2 kinds of gravy fried rice, or yin yang fried rice $11.70. Expensive and not worth my money. It was SO nasty. Their recipe is not like other places. Their white side was an eggy substance. It was bearable. The other side was some ginger mixed weird taste. Ugh so disgusting. Never coming here again. Ok maybe to try their dimsum but that's it... read more

Context: Visiting SF, ate tons of Chinese Food before. We only went in because they had my favorite item. I came into the shop and then read the reviews, so I was somewhat worried. I ordered Pan Fried Beef Crispy Noodles and my mom, the House Seafood Rice Noodle and nothing else besides Jasmine Tea. These 2 dishes were ENORMOUS and freaking delicious!! I don't know about the other reviews, but these 2 were not very greasy at all. They didn't skimp out on ingredients either! Tons of beef veggies, noodle, and tons of fish for the dishes. They were extremely delicious. If I ever return to SF and around Chinatown, I'll definitely come back here. For the quality and quantity that I had, even price felt very fair. read more

First time ordering by phone for pickup. Read ok reviews mom wanted chop suey so we ordered from here. First thing coming in older lady says can I help you. Stated full info "ordered by phone under "name and name" lady walks away saying nothing, comes back your number is "1234" ahh yea. rings me up, no smiles no thing. gives me receipt to sign and goes to grap food. Ok standard service for yuma. Comes back places food on table behind me, I ask for receipt, gives me CC receipt. I ask for the receipt for the actual purchase, she says "no that is receipt" I ask for menu she says nothing. I see the bag she placed on the table had x amount of trays in it. I excuse me " there is suppose to be 4 orders she says " that that is yours" Hey like Im suppose to know the other bag on the other table is mine. By the way the terriyaki chicken is plane chicken no sauce WTF. i could have made it myself. Nope never going back. Rude lady, Plane food, and Aweful service. read more

I said that I was going to give the items in this restaurant a try and provide a review update, so here it is. I came in here today and ordered Shrimp Dumplings with a plate of BBQ Pork Rice Roll. The items came out fresh, the plate, chopsticks, cup and tea pot were very clean. This restaurant is also very clean so this is always a good thing. The staff are very nice and the customer service here is very efficient. Dol Ho up the block from here is closed for vacation, be prepared to know that it'll be busy. It was lunch time when I walked in here to get something to eat. This restaurant serves up Cantonese style cuisine so be prepared to know that it will be busy. New Asia restaurant is right next door, but today their place was booked for an event or something. Overall, this place is A-OK as the rating suggests but it can still be better. The only downsides are: - path between chairs and tables aren't very flexible - parking isn't always very easy to find 4/6/2013: My mom was hungry and wanted to get something to eat, so I recommended that she come into this restaurant. I was hungry as well, it wasn't crowded since we came in at 2 pm today and the lunch rush was over. I enjoyed the Shredded Trio with Fried Lai Fun in a Clay Pot and Dried Beef Chow Fun. Needless to say, the food is fresh and delicious so I am loving it. read more

Took my first trip to china town in San Fransisco. We wandered around looking for a restaurant to catch our eye. So many places looked good, but my stomach knew this was the place! Yummy Yummy was a small restaurant but not super busy so I felt comfortable. The servers spoke English and were very friendly. The menu had so many choices we weren't sure what to get! After some debating we had an array of different things. We got some chow mien noodles, crunchy green onion and ginger noodles, combination fried rice, Wonton soup, and shrimp dumplings. I have to say I was incredibly impressed with every item that we ordered that afternoon. It was one of the most delicious meals I ever had. Although I was full I couldn't put my chopsticks down! My favorite was the crunchy noodles and the wonton soup. Now for the best part....With all this food feeding 3 chubby adults with big appetites, we left paying only $60! I was so shocked by how well priced the food was. We even left with some leftovers. Seeing that good price at the end of the meal had us leaving satisfied and happy! I would highly recommend this little china town restaurant in San Fransisco to all and every one! It had so many delicious options, a friendly staff, awesome prices, and it was not crazy busy so you can have a nice relaxing meal. One of the best places I have been to date! read more

What this place lacks in ambience it makes up for in great quality food. Ordered 4 separate dim sum dishes and each was great. They all came out separately and were steaming hot and delicious. All total $28! We were the only Caucasians in the place and other diners were older Chinese clientele who clearly knew what they were ordering. Felt like I was back in China. Very reasonable and fantastic food. read more

Was excited to try but very disappointed. The lady who took my order was extremely rude. Ignored me to take orders from the people behind me who spoke Cantonese. I asked them how I'm supposed to order here because she clearly was ignoring me and one of them apologized to me, I think because she feels bad the lady is ignoring me. Felt very unwelcome here and ended up just walking out without ordering. Lots of great places nearby though. read more

Yummy Yummy is well Yummy! This place has some of the best sliced fish porridge (or also known as Congee). And it is only $4.99. They also do great dim sum. The best in the city. Most people come here for the dim sum, but they also have great Chinese food too. Some of my other favorite dishes are the shrimp curry noodles, Schezwan Beef, shrimp with chive dumpling, Sui Mai, beef rice noodle rolls, & the egg custard buns. This is one of the few Chinese restaurants I have found that actually have salt on the table! Beat the crowds and order takeout. They even let you call in your order ahead of time. The prices are great, the food is great, big portions, and the tea they serve is delicious. It is a must try for all. Note: This is a Cash Only restaurant read more

Okay, I agree I got lured in by the charming lady who was chatting up passengers on the street in front of the restaurant during lunch time on a weekday. Are they really that desperate? But hey, no harm in trying this one out as other places definitely looked sketchier. On the plus side, Yummy Yummy has a good selection of Chinese lunch and dinner items, including dim sum. Prices are very reasonable, dim sum about $3, entree $8-$12. I liked the CHIVES & SHRIMP DUMPLING as well as the SPINACH & SHRIMP as I'm not a big fan of pork. Our table also got the BEEF RICE NOODLE dish which turned out to be a good portion, filling and tasty. After all, I felt it was an okay choice in the area. read more

Walking the Chinatown Chinese New Year street fair and getting hungry. Saw Yummy Yummy and remember reading they serve dim sum. Looks like a decent space so we walked in. There were only two large tables open - a rectangular in the front and a round one in the back. They were speaking English to us and asked if we mind sharing a table - we said no worries and were lead to the back round table. I also told them in Chinese, no need to speak English to us - we saw a big smile and a look of relief. It's a small place so there are no carts. Instead, ladies will come out with trades of different kinds of dim sum - we mostly saw steamed items. We got shrimp dumpling and shu mai from the first lady. They were both ok but at the price, I would expect better quality and taste. The next item we got was the chui chow dumpling, which is one of hubby's favorite. This was bad - the whole dumpling was mushy from the skin to the filling and it was not hot. Those sharing the table with us had the chicken rice in a tin - it didn't look good, the chicken looks like it was recooked. The combo udon in clay pot looked pretty good - at $5, it seems to be a good deal but not sure how it tastes. Based on their price and ok/subpar food, we didn't want to stick around any longer. Looking at their menu, their prices are high - $10 for chow fun and noodles. Seriously? I can get that anywhere else for less. Their dim sum prices are S=$2.35, M=$3.25, L=$4, K=$5. read more

Gawd, this place is so crass and ghetto. They try to dress it up as New Asia's fancy kin but with long cafeteria style tables, it isn't shouting high class here. I prefer a small table that seats 4 rather than sidling in the cafeteria table with the rest of the masses (so China dining!). We didn't eat their dim sum but ordered won ton noodles yet these sad ass clowns still chose to charge us $1 per person for tea money. Sorry in other restaurants, if you don't order dim sum, they would waive that fee. The won ton noodles wasn't even that great! The noodles were hard. Another indication that you are eating ghetto style, an older gentleman neglected to leave a tip and the server ran out after him shouting, "You forgot to leave a tip!" Well, maybe he didn't forget, maybe he wasn't happy with the service! How uncouth! Never again. read more

What a great find. We decided that we might get authentic food if we selected a restaurant on a side street and we are glad we went in. The first thing I noticed was that while we looked at the menu that was posted outside the maitre d' came out and asked us to come in with a huge smile. We later learned that the smile was not used just to lure us in, the entire staff was unbelievably friendly! The restaurant is clean, and bustling. You can tell that there are a lot of regular customers and there seem to be a large amount of tourists that were purposely looking to eat here. As for the food, I would recommend the pot stickers, Mongolian beef over rice and Chinese broccoli. All were superb and I will return soon! read more

Fast paced dim sum in San Francisco Chinatown. This reminded my hubs of China. Crowded, loud, lots of older folk reading the news and enjoying cha! The place is super small and if you don't like strangers you may not like the fact that you'll more than likely sit next to someone you don't know . Because they are small they sit many at the same table to accommodate them. We don't mind- it's fun! We had a little bit of everything : dumplings, chinese broccoli, rice porridge w duck egg and pork, Shu Mai....very tasty and inexpensive. read more

We went there on a Friday night at 7:30. We were surprised that it didn't have a lot of customers that time. Not only in the restaurant but also the street. We wondered if that is due to the World Cup. Anyway, someone made a special reservation with the Chef Yang for some special Cantonese and Hong Kong style dishes. Special dishes we had are as following: - Geoduck Clam & Fish Maw cold dish - Pepper Salt Crab - Pigeon braised in master stock - Deep fried & Steamed Rockfish - Pan fried Fish stomach - Lobster We loved all the dishes. read more

Yummy Yummy is more of a no no. Hands down some of the greasiest (not to mention not very fresh/tasty) dim sum I've ever had. Definitely a pass, and I wouldn't recommend it here or be back soon. My party first sat by the front door but later was forced to move after noticing a heavy smoke/smoker smell which kept blowing in from the front, where a lot of their patrons who were smoking were. Since they refused to close the door, any ash and smoke just blew in from the outside, making the entire table smell like an ashtray. After several complaints, they decided to seat us near the middle of the restaurant, as I wasn't exactly in the mood to eat from a table that smelled like an ashtray. I ordered the dim sum here with my family, and the food was so oily and greasy it was practically dripping off the plate. You can also tell by tasting that the food here was most definitely frozen and resteamed, as it had that 'post frozen' aftertaste. Granted prices here were rather inexpensive, coming in at less than $5 a plate, but I've had much better quality dim sum elsewhere. Also, tip is already factored into your bill, so don't be too mislead into double tipping twice. I've seen a lot of reviews in the past complaining over the tipping system, and they add the tip in already to your bill (make sure to double check your receipt). Customer service here was fine, but the wait for food was definitely slow. We waited a while for the food to come out, and were disappointed when it did since everything was so mediocre and greasy. I still can't really get behind Yummy Yummy at all. Some of the greasiest and worst dim sum I've ever had, and I won't be back soon. Sure it's cheap, but definitely skip and find another dim sum spot, because this isn't worth the small price tag. read more

This did not give me my fix with chinese food or dim sum while in Chinatown. I should've gone somewhere else.... The hot and spicy soup was blah. Spicy but didnt taste like the typical/authentic hot and sour soup. We ordered Fook Kin Fried Rice and the guy insisted that we get the Combination Fried Rice because it was typical white people want he says. Uhm, we're asian and we wanted to try something new but no, he insisted. It was a good combination fried rice but I've had better. The dim sum were mediocre. Service, 3 stars. read more

This is a local eat, as in, there are no tourists here. If you're looking for an "authentic" experience, this is it. If you don't speak Cantonese or Taishanese that's ok too; you'll just have to order off the main menu, but the daily offerings written in Chinese on the wall is a must eat. I got a beef and tofu rice plate (on the menu), a egg gravy and beef rice plate (off the menu), Chinese crepe, and tea. $20. read more

I wouldn't recommend nor go back. We were browsing around chinatown for some dim sum/dine in restaurants. This place provides bad customer service. Waiting time is horrible; Took long on our order to come out. Even taking our orders was long. We only order a 'house special' fried rice plate &a plate of dim sum(which never came out); we finished our plate &the dim sum still never came out so we decided to leave &pay for what we ate. The cashier even had the nerve to ask for tip. She should be glad my husband was the one that went to paid; if it was Me, HELL NO. Food is definitely not YUMMY. read more
