Like this place. About 20 minutes from where I live, but worth the drive. I've had my favorite here, and they were good. Great thing about this Chinese restaurant is they don't add peas & carrots to the fried rice, and do add onions and bean sprouts. They're a keeper for that reason alone. - Shrimp egg foo yung - Shrimp & Broccoli - Beef & Broccoli - Chicken wings & French fries It's carry-out only, and the name indicates. Service was great, ambiance, basic. I recommend. read more

Chinese carry out can be daunting but you don't have to guess with Yumms! They are consistently good. Have ordered multiple times for takeout/delivery and have not been disappointed yet. Food is always hot and service is always fast! Not the prettiest place to be at but it's always clean and well we know not to expect pretty from a carry out spot! read more

If you're looking for a solid dc spot to satisfy your carryout cravings this fits the mold. I found myself trying them out on a late night (apparently they have late hours most nights) and they offer all the standard carryout items like wings and fried rice, rib tips, lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, etc. with prices ranging from around $10-$15 per item and depending on the size. I ordered the pork fried rice and shrimp lo mein and overall I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor and quality of the food and the shrimp portions of the lo mein. Given the time of night some places feel it's ok to give you the scraps remaining from their busier hours of the day, but not here. Also as an added bonus if you're from a northern state and used to seeing your carryout fried rice a golden yellow color then you won't be disappointed! read more

I got the chicken wings and fried rice. It was so-so. Absolutely nothing to rave about. The typical DC carryout service was in rotation. No smiles or welcomes or greeting to show an appreciation for my patronage. But, it is what it is. It's a carryout. No fine dining or lavish lighting here. Pick up and go is on the menu. After the fact, I was told I should have tried the fried wings and french fries with ketchup, salt, pepper, and mumbo sauce. I was also encouraged to try the steak and cheese. So, the next time I'm in the area of 14th and P St., NW, I will venture into Yum's II carry out one more time to give them another shot. In the meantime, if you get there before me, happy eating! read more

Personally I enjoyed the wings. They were seasoned and fried to perfection. I just wished I had a little bit more Mumbo sauce. I did remember to ask for salt & pepper on my fries. We enjoyed everything! Service was quick! It is a true authentic carry out without a dine- in option. read more

For under $10 you can get your fix of fried chicken and a side of fries or fried rice. I came here specifically to try the mambo sauce. The wings were fried perfectly. The sauce itself was on the sweet side, but I can see where the hype comes from. The fried rice was decent but nothing special. read more

It's gonna take you at least 45 minutes to an hour to get your food and it's actually not good at all. The lady behind the counter sits and talks while everyone stands in line. Don't recommend. read more

A solid meal after a night out. The space isn't spectacle but it's a large open space to order your food and go. Service was nice. I enjoyed my food but if I go again I'll try something different. read more

For the need it fills, the food is excellent. This is a bare-bones takeout establishment, so service and ambience really do not enter the discussion. read more

The lady at the front was absolutely rude in her response. They had no chicken options. Meanwhile half their menu is chicken dishes. I understand being out of the offered options but the absolute disregard for any level of customer service AND THEN to be so rude to those of us ordering food was not necessary. read more

This spot makes the best pork fried rice I've had in DC: white onion, spring onion, and bean sprouts. There are no peas or carrots.

Take it for what it is - corner Chinese spot so idk why people are reviewing like they're dining at capital grill. Wings were your typical Chinese chicken wings nice and crispy - piping hot when they were delivered through Uber eats. Mumbo sauce wasn't my favorite but served its purpose. It was really sour and had a ketchupy taste. I don't like ketchup like that. Rice was honestly NOT GOOD - it was like yellow overcooked mushy rice. I wanted fried rice. If the rice was good I would give 4 stars. read more

Yum's II Carryout - Wings - mumbo sauce came on the side - Chinese Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Late night munchie favorite for chicken wings with mambo sauce hits the spot all the time

Fast and tasty -- I have not one complaint! I was greeted and thanked. Wait was under 10 minutes. Food was fresh. Even after commuting home and stalling, moments later, everything was still piping hot. I ordered the chicken wings and fries with mumbo sauce on the side. Caveat first: this was my first time trying mumbo sauce, and as suspected with any ketchup-based sauce, I personally don't prefer it, but don't regret trying it. The chicken was where it's at! It had that unique Chinese takeout taste -- crispy, juicy, and seasoned well! Fries were fries -- fresh with pillowy insides. Overall, I enjoyed everything. Will definitely be back! read more

Second time coming for some wonton soup. It appears to be a popular location for standard Chinese takeout ambiance. There's no seating so it's primarily designed for carryout. I've ordered in the shop both times I came and my food was ready within 5-10mins. I'll be interested to try other menu items one day. read more

The definition of mid. Prices are mid. Food is mid, it's reliable but mid. Open late which is good.

Before coming to DC, I was unfamiliar with the concept of a Chinese takeout place that would also sell cheesesteaks and sandwiches. While I haven't yet tried those, I can say that the Chinese food is a very excellent middle-of-the-road. It is cheap, both in price and in quality. I ordered a beef and broccoli combination plate (which came with a hefty side of rice, a spring roll, and a fortune cookie), and paid $14.25. Quite good for a place right on 14th St. And while the food is flavorful, you can taste the freshness (or lack thereof) everywhere, from the too-soft texture of the beef to the unsettling hardness of the spring roll shell. It's just slightly off, the edible equivalent of a fake Gucci bag. Nevertheless, it works in a pinch! I have found myself here multiple times, and it has always met expectations. One just needs to keep those expectations well-grounded. read more

This is my favorite late-night establishment in the world. The combination lo mein is excellent and the staff works so hard. Lovely ambiance and a short wait time! I love Yums! read more

This is really junk food. Affordable carb-heavy, take-out Americanized Chinese food that happens to also sell a lot of fried chicken and mambo sauce. If I was going to eat here again, I may just get the fried chicken - and without the mambo sauce too considering it makes the crispy chicken breading mushy and the flavor of the sauce isn't really all that (unless if you just wanted to get a sense of something that's only-in-DC - not worth it IMHO though). But for Chinese, you have more than one better options within walking distance. read more

I work in the neighborhood and when I want a cheap lunch this is my got to. If you have a change order ahead of time as they get busy during lunch. Not much of a restaurant but a true carry out with a window to order with no drama. I've had everything from the lunch specials to the wings and enjoy every time. Make sure you ask for sauces if you want. Can't go wrong ordering the basics. read more

I ordered shrimp fried rice by ubereats and it tasted so bad. Plain and shrimp is spoiled. I would never order again. WASTE OF MONEY!

A DC staple so I had to try it out. I went asking for the wings with mumbo sauce. A couple of minutes later I was given freshly made wings covered in the sauce. They were great and I would love to stop by and grab more again. It is cheap and good food so not a bad place to get food. read more

This is a go to spot for me when I want a quick, cheap, and satisfying meal. Food wise, it's what you expect from a Chinese take out dive, but the quality is actually quite good and the portions are decent. They're also quick with preparing your order in a handful of minutes My go to are the 3 piece whole wings. I've made it a mission to try as many wings from as many DC carry outs as I can, and Yum's is still at the top of my list. Overall, this place doesn't pretend to be anything it's not, you know what you're getting, and it's a good deal. read more

Unassuming American Chinese carry out spot. The folks are from Fuzhou. The thing is... DC local food is known for this sauce called Mumbo sauce. It's like a tangy BBQ sauce, little sweet, little smokey. Has its own character. Lots of local people said good things about this one. It's nothing fancy but I liked it. Most people that visit DC don't know about this, but I saw a lot of YouTube content about this and had to try. read more

Yum's never ceases to hit! Wings, fries and mumbo sauce were delicious. Mumbo sauce is going to be different everywhere but this is some of my favorite. I gave a four because my friend did not like the fish fillet. The fried rice that came with it was really tasty but the fish wasn't impressive. It wasn't rubbery or bad per se but nothing special. read more

Was freaking awesome! I am from the DMV so for a chance to be in the area, grab some chicken wings and Mumbo sauce, steak egg and cheese sub, shrimp fried rice with extra eggs and onions and then fries yes I gained a whole 1lb for 3 days! read more

Always unbelievable - sober or not. Cannot speak more highly of Yums. The Mongolian beef is truly incredible, and the general tsos is too.

Food is delicious very large portions, and very fresh as well. Great carryout place. There may be a long lines in the evening, but it's well worth the wait read more

They open and close when they want hours on web and door don't mean a thing prices are all over the place high as hell and don't match web and have seen rats running in front on store on sidewalk. I would not recommend to anyone read more

All around pretty gross. We got chicken fried rice, pretty tasteless and sesame chicken. The chicken was soggy and mushy with terrible quality meat. I could've cut it with a spoon. YUCK! The best thing was the white rice with enough soy sauce to give it flavor. Skip this one. read more

First time trying it, the flavor is a mix of sweet, sour, tangy, ketchup BBQ taste. I liked it but I will def try from somewhere else to compare! read more

I saw a short documentary about Mambo Sauce on YouTube and I had to get some. Apparently, if you've never had Mambo Sauce, you've never been to D.C. So, like any true Yelper, I Yelp'ed "Mambo Sauce" and did an evaluation as to which is the best spot to get some. My criteria included: 1) Many reviews 2) Star rating 3) Location 4) Review highlights Get some chicken wings, fried rice, and Mambo Sauce. My assessment is that Mambo Sauce is pretty much just ketchup and sweet & sour sauce. Also, Mambo Sauce must be obtained from a random Chinese carryout joint. Ideally, you should be a least a little bit intoxicated before checking out a place like Yum's II because this type of food is more enhanced that way. Have you not experienced D.C. if you've never had Mambo Sauce? No. read more

Food delicious, service was quick and efficient, the Ambiance could be better, they should invest in just upgrading their look. I know it's a staple in DC, but a modern look just makes the waiting time nicer. I mean no sitting anywhere just a big white space that needs reno. Other than that keep making that amazing food! read more

Service, food, not what I ordered and when calling back, the lady was rude, accused me of not knowing they put their own noodle (not sure what) instead of wonton soup and not wonton's noodles. First time going to this restaurant. What appeared to be meat was half cut up and then others large slivers of what may be steak. I asked for Steak, Green Peppers and Tomato. When you only have an hour for lunch. Egg roll hard and looked like someone just threw them in oven just to warm them. I happen i called a lady. On the phone call she was rude, telling me to bring food back. Not caring about customers. read more

Great service at the window. A little pricey for what I had hoped - $12 and $13 entrees. But the food was excellent. read more
