Yummy Café

One of the best places for Chinese food in Northeast Seattle!! I have ordered from this place nearly every Thanksgiving since we don't do the traditional "Turkey dinner" at our home, and they've NEVER failed us each time. We've also gone in person and the staff was very friendly and accommodating, and it's an intimate restaurant just across from Metropolitan Market. Will definitely continue to be loyal customers here!

My husband ordered some takeout from here tonight, and the food is absolutely delicious! They also give generous portions at good prices, and I like that they don't use MSG. They actually remind me a bit of a restaurant I used to go to in my hometown, which I miss now. Yummy Cafe reminds me of them because it's also family owned and serves wonderful tasting food that also feels wholesome. I'm glad we found this place, and we'll definitely be ordering again!

I was very much in the mood for simple, no frills Chinese food. I was also cold so I definitely was in need of some hot soup. Luckily they serve up some free hot tea upon sitting down. This is a welcome start.To warm up a large shared bowl of 'Hot And Sour Soup' soup was in order. Definitely hot with some tangy-ness to which hit the spot. For an entree I was lured away from the basic fare by their specials menu. One thing that jumped out was the was the Sweet and Sour Pork chop. It reminded me of a similar entree I've had at a Thai restaurant I used to frequent but not quite as good. The flavor was there for the most part but nothing in the way of crispiness. Also I found it kinda lame that they charged an additional $1.50 for a small rice to go with it. The aforementioned Thai spot that has that same meal comes lots of rice and is slightly cheaper actually. The rice is important because the Pork chop is pretty saucy so the rice helps with getting more of the sauce.The service was good, but our server was a "Tablewatcher". The kind of server that typically when it's slow they're just watching the tables for signs they're ready to leave or need something. I appreciate being mindful of the tables you're managing, but staring makes it weird.Overall probably about what you'd expect -- a sizeable eat in Chinese food spot with some free tea, but tacked on prices elsewhere. Wasn't looking for exceptional which is fitting, Yummy did hit the spot, it was exceptionally average.

Yummy Cafe has been my go to Chinese restaurant for over 15 years. Vivian and Fey have been wonderful to me. The food is great and they deliver promptly which means that the food is hot. Don't you hate getting food that is cold. I will continue to patronize Yummy and be a loyal customer. Try them, I'm sure you will be pleased.

Ordered take out during Lu at New year because I was craving Chinese food. I ordered broccoli and mushrooms, salt and pepper squid, salt and pepper wings, and fried rice. The wings were really really good. The squid needed a little bit more seasoning in my opinion but it wasn't bad. The broccoli and mushrooms were good. The fried rice was just ok, a little bit oily. Will definitely try other menu items in the future.

ambience wasn't great but food was even worse sadly. got both chicken and beef dishes- BOTH types of meat were terrible quality and borderline gelatinous. flavor was majorly lacking. also quite overpriced for what it is, especially since they don't come with rice!

So I'm a travel nurse from the northeast (DMV) and Chinese takeout is one of my favorites! This place was a hard no for me.Great service and nice people!But the food was not good at all. The pork fried rice I ordered was not fried and the pork inside looked uncooked and slimy. I'm used to chopped pieces of pork spareribs mixed in my fried rice. But this place did something different. I'll show you in a picture attached.The Szechuan style string beans had an odd, sour taste. Similar to it being old or sitting for awhile. They look good! But, the taste was sour and old. I had to throw that away.Overall, I'm disappointed. I had high hopes for this place. I won't be back, unfortunately.

First of all , the hot and sour soup is awsome. MY main pet peave is...When you go online to veiw the menu for delivery...WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE PRICING !....The ONLY pricing is add $1 for this and $1 for that... Advice for Yummy Cafe...POST pricing and update as needed ,your LOSING customers without pricing on menu. HOW can anyone give $ amount on cost rating when there is NO pricing on ITEMS..... IDIOTS!

Have recently started getting my take here because the food, price, and service have been outstanding. Always greeted with a smile and a thank you.

We LOVE Yummy! The only Chinese restaurant we order from in Seattle. Our order is standing - fried rice, Mongolian beef, General Tao's chicken and bbq pork. They are the kindest team and provide excellent service! Do yourself a favor and go!!
