Yummy House

Really great experience. Good substitute for the queen (iykyk), cheaper and just as tasty; they just have fewer options. Shanghai noodles had an unorthodox combination of shrimp and chicken, but still delicious. That and BBQ pork fried rice had terrific wok hay. Chili chicken way too saucy, but they offer a dry version. Teriyaki chicken was fresh tasting, but also really saucy. Dumplings are quite large, so with a loose filling, it was a little difficult to eat. Service is extremely friendly and inviting. Looking forward to going back!

Been over 15 years since I ate here. The “popcorn chicken” is NOT what it used to be… back in the day it was actual chicken bits. Today, I sadly received and threw out what was supposed to be popcorn chicken… ended up being deep fried batter. Very disappointed. Wasted $4 as it went straight to the garbage. There was a review, posted a year ago from today, experiencing the same issue.. ‘deep fried dough- no chicken’

Best Asian food in the neighborhood. Wonderful friendly takeout place with incredible Chinese food that's delicious, authentic and great value. I have seen the reviews before and I should have tried it much sooner. I order the mixed seafood noodle and my partner got the chili chicken on rice. Both are phenomenal, huge portion and good price. I am going back ASAP for sure!!!

We have just moved into the local area & were pleasantly surprised to find this amazing Chinese. The food is fantastic! So much in fact we have now had food from here 4 times the last few weeks! Haha 😅 highly recommend the popcorn chicken (that will have you going back time and time again) & the sweet & sour chicken was also great!

We were delighted to find that this place lived up to the reviews. Delicious, authentic, home-cooked food and pleasant, friendly service. Great value too. In my opinion, this was the best Chinese food I have ever had, and my partner felt the same. We ordered the Chili Chicken on rice, veggie spring rolls, popcorn chicken, and dumplings. With just two of us this was enough to feed us two dinners, easily, and the reheated leftovers were just as delicious. We’ll be back to try more menu items. Thrilled we will be adding Yummy House to the dinner rotation!

We have been buying bubble tea from Yummy House for many years and they are always so friendly. But it was our first time ordering catered Chinese food from them. Tom and Susan were accommodating by helping us with suggestions for the menu and especially for cooking on their day off. Our family and friends enjoyed the fresh, tasty and generous portioned foods. I noticed that they even make frozen dim sum and their own chili sauce. Try it, it’s yummy! Thank you again!

November 6, 2023 update: I had to come back and update my review of Yummy House. It's still a 5 stars, everything continues to be amazing but I just had their chicken balls and I can't believe I'm raving about chicken balls! You'd think chicken balls would be a boring standard fare, right? NOPE, so wrong! Yummy House makes their own chicken balls, fresh, with actual pieces of chicken breast and their own batter. This was the first time ever that I've had chicken balls that I enjoyed! The batter was crunchy but soft, not too thick and you can taste and see the chicken chunks. Sweet and sour sauce, of course, is divine. You can get it as a meal or as an appetizer on the side (which I did. I ate the whole thing while walking and scrolling). Soooo good, another must try if you're in the area! Thank you Yummy House for all the good food! Oh my gosh, can I say enough good things about Yummy House? This place is a must visit if you want a classic Cantonese Chinese dish like fried egg noodles (the yellow kind) or fried rice noodles (the flat white kind) or a rice dish with all the delicious fixings. Featured here are their signature Beef Fried Noodles and their Cantonese Fried Noodles. The portions are generous, the food is well flavoured but I appreciate that it's not too salty - perfect for my taste buds. Can I tell you their secret though? You HAVE to try their Popcorn Chicken. The small is $3.50 and you get a generous portion and you get so much more for your dollar than if you spent that on a bag of chips/fries. You have to get it in the larger size featured here for $7. So satisfying - crunchy, not oily at all, savoury with a hint of 5 spice powder. My favourite are the little crunchy bits at the bottom of the box. Chase that all down with a classic bubble tea and you are good to go. Their bubble tea prices are also reasonable ($3.50 for a small, $5 for a large) and comes in a variety of flavours. They also have smoothies as well. If you see frozen dim sum in their fridge, pick them up! Tom makes these fresh and freezes them. Each pack is $10 and so much more affordable to steam them at home. They are delicious (try their shrimp dumplings, pork shiu mai, and more!). Tom and Susan have been running this place since 2003 and they are the gems of the neighbourhood. The local high school students are regular patrons and somehow Susan manages to know their 'usual' orders! They are such lovely easy going people. Yummy House is ideal for takeout so grab some delicious food and enjoy to your heart's content! Man, I want popcorn chicken right now! :)

I was thrilled to see that they have reopened! They have been there since about 20 years ago!! I used to live up the street and went to high school across the street so they were definitely the go-to spot for quick eats! I'm sad that they no longer sell the same food that I was looking forward to (fries supreme, chicken burger, etc) but I'm so happy for them to be back! They now sell Chinese food but they still live up to their name of being "Yummy"! You can totally taste the "wok hei" in the food. I also picked up some of their homemade frozen dim sum. I don't go downtown often at all but when I'm in the area, I will ALWAYS make a trip to Yummy House for some food and to say hi to Susan and Tom. They are the most genuine people ever and they always make you feel so welcomed!
