Yummy Cantonese Restaurant

My go-to place for some morning congee. Nostalgia factor 6/5. The preserved egg and pork congee has a lot of fillings. Although my favourite really is just the congee. The texture is silky and thick. The cheung fun is also packed with fillings. The photos are of the pea shoots and coriander. Not too salty and silky. Most pay with cash.

The rice rolls don’t have many folds, and the texture is nicely balanced—chewy but not too firm. The soy sauce has a pleasant sweetness without being overly sugary. While I personally prefer a softer, stickier rice roll, this one was still enjoyable. The portion of beef is generous, though some pieces were a bit large and thick, with one not fully cooked.

This used to be our go-to place for Cantonese food - generally tasty and quite authentic. Our favourite dish was the deep fried squid tentacles. This past week when we revisited, the dish was simply atrocious...Not only was it not deep fried, it tasted bland and mushy, almost as if it was steamed! The portion was also exceptionally small - shrinkflation at its best.. We'll be looking elsewhere for Cantonese food in the future.

Local neighborhood hole in the wall place. Needed a quick meal, it was either this or Taco Bell. Was not impressed when i entered, certainly a place you wouldn't take a date or a secret lover, yeah I said it. However, my red flag gut intuition slowly began to soften when perusing their menus, a separate page for congee, separate page for noodles, separate page for rice rolls and a separate page for snacks. Now that's what I'm talking about. This is where people come for serious no nonsense eating. No fusion, no signature dishes, just straight up good basic Chinese comfort food It hit me when I out of the corner of my eye I saw pork intestine noodles on the noodle menu. Whaaaat, no way, no restaurant would dare serve this dish unless their customer base demanded it. People who like intestines described the taste as gamey barnyard funk, let's get real, it's poop, don't want it. Don't wanna even try. I got excited, any restaurant serving this dish must know what they are doing. I ordered the congee with century egg & pork, fried dough sticks and beef brisket dried noodles The beef brisket was tender with fat and attached membrane, beware, it is just not pure beef brisket, this type of brisket is not everyone's cup of tea. The noodles were firm and chewy The fried dough sticks were overcooked, too crispy and oily. Dipping them in the congee softened them up. The congee arrived very hot with creamy century egg and tender pork. It was so tasty I have to admit, their dishes were very authentic and a representation of what great cooking skills can accomplish with Chinese ingredients (including intestines). It's a shame these hole in the wall places are not well known but then the neighborhoods probably want it they way. I walked away very impressed

Yummy Cantonese Restaurant is always busy no matter what time of the day it is. They partnered with Fantuan Food Delivery for those who prefer to have their order delivered to them. They close early, so better call them to confirm their opening hours. Beef Brisket noodles soup. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Abalone and chicken congee. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shrimps and chives rice noodle roll. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s a full service eatery. The Waitress who took our order was fluent in English. The food came out rather quickly. It’s a small cozy eatery, but hard to maneuver when using a walker. The staff are friendly. Paid in cash. Noticed a new eatery opened right next door. February 1st, 2024 was the opening day. The gentleman told us as we walked by on our way to our parked car.

I came here with my friend for a late lunch and this place did not disappoint. It's an old school hong kong style restaurant, the food is flavorful and has a great selection. We ordered chicken and abalone congee, beef with rice noodle, squid, fried dough, and milk tea.

The food: The beef brisket noodle soup broth was flavorful and tasty, and the noodles were good as well but the beef brisket was not that good in comparison. The beef brisket has a tinge of cinnamon which I did not enjoy, as the beef brisket I usually eat does not taste like this. This cantonese food was alright, but I would not use yummy as the defining word for this restaurant. I would retitle this restaurant as Alright Cantonese Restaurant. The tea: Complimentary hot tea was tasteless and lackluster. It tasted like hot water with a hint of nothing. The chili oil: The chili oil enlightened me and brought joy to our otherwise bland meal. This will only apply to the chili oil fanatics like me, though, so take this review of chili oil with a grain of salt. The chili oil was flavorful and brightened up the other flavors in the food, which caused me to give this restaurant 3 stars instead of 2. The chili oil was splendid and enriched with flavor. The service: The restaurant itself was full of people but probably not because the food is good, but because there are not many options for Cantonese food around here. The waiters were okay, but you must write down your order yourself. The food came out at a relatively okay pace, but three dishes that we ordered in the beginning did not arrive until almost 45 minutes later, after we finished the other dishes. The ambience: The interior was alright, and the walls have a nice design, but only on one wall is there a design. Restroom: The restroom exists, which is good. There was a small fly in the toilet that instilled fear in me as I released my bodily fluid into the porcelain bowl, but I finished my business quickly and then everything was alright. Conclusion: I would not return to this restaurant. Everything was okay, but there are definitely better Cantonese restaurants out there that I would travel farther to eat at rather than eat here. I give this restaurant 3 stars, but my mother who did not receive her food until 45 minutes after we finished our food would like to give this restaurant 1 star. As we pulled out of the parking lot, a sign caught my eye: a restaurant called Perfect Chinese Restaurant. Next time, I will travel there for a meal instead, as I may not be bamboozled and fooled by their restaurant name as I was dining at Yummy Cantonese Restaurant.

Great flavor at low price :) me and my gf drove 50 km to come here for their dishes, and we are not disappointed. Be mindful that they close early, but if you manage to give a call to put in the order, they can get it ready for you even 30 mins after they close.
