Drove from Houston to Birmingham to support my beloved Houston Cougars. First place I tried in Birmingham was Yummefy, a Nepalese/Himalayan/Thai cuisine restaurant. Saw the amazing review and thought i should try since its also very close to my hotel. I ordered the Pork Belly rice and drunken noodles(spicy) and oh, it was really impressive. Pork belly was flavorful and tasty same like the drunken noodle, they give out plenty of meats so the portion are huge. Friendly waiters, nice ambience and fast service. Recommended.

Got two orders of the chicken and shrimp pad Thai and it's the worse pad Thai I've ever had in my life. It looked good but was completely flavorless. Not salty, not sweet, not sour, just completely bland. Terrible! Can't speak on anything else, but whatever you do DO NOT get the pad Thai. read more

Great variety of food options. Everything I've tried has been good. I was hoping for great though.

Great food, fast. Always a go-to for lunch when I'm in the area. Healthy options as well as being able to drink a beer. read more

No, just no. I was excited to try this place out. Pictures looked good and positive reviews . Unfortunately we can't really trust Alabamians reviews of Asian food yet since most people can't recognize it. Masaman curry just tasted like dry chicken, spices , and broth. It didn't have many of the flavors that contribute to a good masaman. Momos we're sort of ok and edible but not anything to write home about. I may try to salvage the masaman leftovers with some coconut cream and sugar. The portions were big which is nice. read more

Went early afternoon and had the place to myself but also means the food came out quickly. Excellent chicken tandoori. Came out on a fajita plate with sizzling veges. Also had the unsweet Thai iced tea and he put some half and half in for me. The owner is very nice and engaging, food is wonderful. Will come again next time husband needs eye surgery! read more

Yum! What a great explosion of flavor! Their momos are delicious and they have a huge range of other great options! I like the curry the best, though the drunken noodles had a wonderful smokey flavor. My husband's favorite is the spicy mountain noodles and they are spicyyyy!!! I love that it's a sit down service now (rather than order at the bar). Owner is so fun and friendly, that plus outrageously good food always makes me eager to come back. They are serving even sit down meals in to go containers, but that's not a problem for me. read more

Yummefy Flavors of India, Nepal & Thailand - Drunken Noodles MoMo 10 Piece Spicy Mountain Noodles - Asian Fusion Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

On this Thank You Thursday, I want to thank Yummefy for being a place that I wanted to try. For being a place that was there for us when we really needed something safe, tasty and convenient. And for being an all around great experience for us. Through the quarantine, we have really wanted to branch out and try places we hadn't before. This is a place that I regret saying, it took all of this to get us to try Yummefy... but I am glad that it happened! Spring rolls were the perfect amount of crispy to filling ratio. Pad Thai was different with the flat noodles. But was absolutely amazing. The shrimp fried rice blew our socks off. And stayed that way for leftovers the next day. Really tough for a rice dish to do!! The ordering was easy. The delivery was great. The meal was perfect. And all I can do is say thank you with a 5 star review. read more

Service was AMAZING! Everything came quick. Food was fresh and hot. My boyfriend got the Drunken Noodles to go for lunch the next day. You have to try the slushees (not pictured), they were really good and fruity. We also tried the Hot Sake, it was very smooth. We will definitely be back! Food is affordable and the location is convenient. read more

Great Indian dishes- super quick service and delightful staff! We did carry out but they have nice tables as well.

This is a review that will probably have to be modified upon more visits. I came when they first opened, excited for a new place to get pad Thai. Just like most places around Birmingham, it was not very good. Didn't have much flavor at all, much too sweet. Not a good dish overall. I avoided coming back for a while but finally ended up trying the coconut curry, and to my surprise it was really delicious! Extremely rich, large portion, very fresh and had big juicy chunks of chicken. Unsure if they changed things up or you just need to know what to order! But looking forward to trying the rest of the menu and finding out! Plus, the owners are extremely nice and personable when you come in. That goes a long way! Fingers crossed they last and continue to improve in this high turnover location. read more

I think this place potentially has better dishes than the one I ordered and for that reason, I'm not giving it the two stars that I think the dish kinda deserves. Ordered the drunken noodle and I think it lacked a depth of flavor. It felt completely submerged in sodium and it wasn't pleasant. The veggies that were sporadic throughout the dish felt like a reprieve from the noodles that were quite literally drunk off whatever extremely salty sauce combination it was given. Not sure if it was the day that I went in that it happened to be like that or if it is consistently that salty. Ate all the veggies and about half of the noods and had to call it quits. Would be willing to give it another try if the dish were executed differently. The location of the place is extremely convenient for a lunch break if you're at UAB without a car (which would probably be best case scenario bc the parking is just street parking). I remember the service was friendly, space was clean, and the environment gives a step above fast casual bc of the rolled silverware which was a nice change of pace from the places next to it. Might give this place another go at some point because there are some decent reviews about other dishes, the prices are reasonable ish (and there's a 10% if you check in on yelp!), and it's walking distance from class! read more

Wow these drunken noodles set it off the other night! Came by for a quick dinner and was not disappointed. The noodles were tender and fully coated with a sweet and savory sauce that kept you licking your lips! The dish came with broccoli which was also perfectly cooked. I asked for medium heat and it was definitely more on the safe/mild side which was fine for me so if you like spicy you can definitely request it and they will kick it up some not he's! My SIL asked for Indian spicy and it was a nice heat level! Would dine in here or take out. Planning to try more menu items as well. read more

Yummefy Flavors of India, Nepal & Thailand - Super cute and very clean! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

An unsuspecting little place in downtown Birmingham, but WOW, you need to be here instead of anywhere else you might be thinking about. Great fusion food here. It was all over the place, but if you have to call it something call it Thai food. SOME OF THE BEST THAI FOOD EVER! The drunken noodles were spectacular and some of the best I have ever had. We had two curries and those were great as well. Awesome food! Great service! Put your car in park now. read more

Ordered the coconut curry chicken and the sauce was thick and salty. Big chunks of chicken pieces were very tender. Might have gotten the bottom of that bucket. Cheese naan was good. read more

Disclaimer: It is an affront to my moral standards to eat at establishments that serve (unrelated) pan-Asian cuisine (that is not intentionally "fusion"), but in the case of Yummefy, I will make an exception, due to the frequency at which I eat here and consistent quality of the food. From my understanding/first time eating here, Yummefy served a combination of Nepalese/Indian cuisine (not that I'm an expert on either), but as the months have gone by they've branched into Thai/Chinese take-out as well. Much to my surprise, I've enjoyed everything I've ordered here. I enjoyed the Gorkhali and Spicy Himalayan Chicken off the Nepalese menu (but why is it served with kimchi?) I have also enjoyed their Thai iterations of Spicy Basil Chicken and Spicy Drunken Noodles. I am glad they respect/understand that when I want something to be *SPICY* I want it to be actually so, and the last time I had the Spicy Drunken Noodles, it was very hot/delicious. The owner of this establishment is very cute/friendly/nice, and he always greets customers warmly & with enthusiasm. Would recommend coming here to eat (turn-around during lunch time is pretty fast so you can call ahead or just order there and you won't have to wait long at all). read more

Today I decided to go to Yummefy for Lunch. I've never tried this before but I used to always pass this restaurant on my way to class. I ordered Togo but my takeout experience was still good. The workers were nice and friendly. I asked about the vegan and vegetarian options and they were able to help me and give me information about each dish. I decided to order edamame, vegan chow mein, and coconut curry. While I've had edamame and chow mein, I never had chow mein vegan style. The vegan chow mein was pleasant. The coconut curry was very different for me but I really enjoyed it. I I really liked my experience with Yummefy. read more

Great food! Coconut soup was nice for a cold day. Get the spicy Himalayan chicken for entree! read more

Way too soggy. Not sure if it sit too long as it's a take out order . The wrap couldn't hold the fillings when I picked up a piece . I had to eat the wraps and fillings separately . On the other side , the fillings tasted good . I ordered pork and veggie. The dipping sauce is also delicious . read more

Super friendly people with a wonderful selection including vegan options. I will definitely be visiting again next time I'm in town.

This place is a gem! Everyone who works there is quiet, but that will serve you with no hesitation. The best thing on the menu is the drunken noodles! They are perfect every time. read more

Very interesting Asian restaurant in the UAB area. I would not call it Indian, neither​ Chines​e,​ or "fusion". I think they are their own thing! Very tasty after all, but that's in part thanks to a large use of salty dressing. A bit too salty for my taste. Indeed, enough too salty to make me limit eating there just once in a while instead of often. The place otherwise looks very nice, welcoming, and clean. Possibly the most clean looking in the area. The staff is super nice, which is a big pro. They aslo have a small seating area outside which is great of you have a dog with you! Overall a great place. read more

Wow, this Asian fusion restaurant sure has extraordinary food!! Everything looks appetizing. All my friends really enjoyed their dishes which we all tasted each others and just couldn't get enough of it. My first time at the restaurant I had the Spicy drunken noodle. At first I was surprise of how the noodles looked but once I took a bite, I was hooked. Beware of choosing spicy, only if you love the heat then I would definitely recommend it. There were so many wonderful flavors that filled my noodle plate, and my chicken was so juicy and infused with all the seasonings. My second time I had the Spicy Gorkhali chicken with white basmati rice, kimchi and yum yum sauce. Like all their dishes, this dish is also full of flavors. Beware that there is an ingredient on the dish that felt like I was eating popcorn husk, but still ate it anyway, didn't mind it. I love the fact that every dish is full of flavors but each has its own distinctinction from the others. Definitely a place I will keep coming back to. read more

Came here for the first time yesterday during lunch to try it out. Heard good reviews about it, so had to give it a try. Came during lunch hour, so they had some pretty good lunch specials. We shared the pad Thai and pan fried pork momo's. I was impressed. First of all, they had the lunch special deals as well as an extra 10% off for checking into the location on FB. On top of that, the food was quite impressively delicious. The pad Thai is my. New favorite in town. The momos were also very good, the pork inside were hot, juicy and tender with a bit of pink to it. Well seasoned and very flavorful. The pad Thai was on point, all the flavors were there and textures as well. Very friendly and nice staff. Loved the place, and had a great experience. Will be back again. read more

The fried rice is good, the rest was ok. The mochi ice cream is a big no. I don't think I will come back.

We found Yummefy through Yelp when we found ourselves in Birmingham for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon. We were familiar with some of the foods and were intrigued by the Nepali. I got the spicy drunken noodles with chicken (went with mild on the spice level and it was perfect) and the dragon chicken. Both dishes smelled and tasted amazing. We also got the spring rolls and coconut soup - excellent! The restaurant was convenient to downtown near UAB. We had no problem parking. The staff was very friendly and helpful too! We will definitely visit again to try other menu items when in town! read more

Finally came to check out all the buzz- The lunch crowd I'm assuming had already gone bc it was totally empty. Since there wasn't a crowd , we were able to take our time and review the menu. Hate to point this out BUT the menu has some typos on it which obviously made it difficult in the ordering process. Once you get past this , you can place your order. No biggie . I ordered the pork belly bowl (spicy) with a side of the vegetable spring rolls. Since I checked in on the yelp app, I received 10% off my already reasonably priced meal! WIN/WIN! They also have a sign posted that if you check in on Facebook you get 10% off . So basically you can use either or to get a discount. We sat down and our food was coming out fast and the presentation - amazing! My lunch crew all agreed that their meals were savory and succulent! And , ALOT of food!!! OMG, the portion sizes were very generous! Some of us had to go boxes. My pork belly bowl was loaded with pork , sautéed stir fry veggies and paired with what we think was basmati rice ??? I loved the texture of the rice . It didn't get mushy at all!!! I ordered my dish extra spicy, so I was given a side of sauce that looked and tastes like sriracha sauce. Note: they also have this sauce on the tables. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. They talked to us a bit about their other location that burned down . Sam told us that this current location is doing great! We assured him that we would spread the word about our experience. So I am doing just that . Give Yummefy a try if you want some nice Asian flare cuisine that's reasonably priced and delicious ! Take it from a true Yelper! read more

During a road trip on thanksgiving day we were looking for a place to eat in Birmingham AL. We were looking for soul food but just about every place we tried was closed. Found Yummefy on yelp. Did not have a lot of expectations walking in to restaurant but was I wrong. Food is simply amazing, they make it to your spicy level. Highly recommend spicy basil fried rice, spicy basil chicken. I also recommend the spicy chicken skewers. Very clean inside and nicely decorated. Very clean bathrooms. Outstanding customer service with super friendly staff. read more

I love having yummefy close by. I typically run with their pad thai which has a solid serving size with great taste. Service is always friendly and they offer discounts for Yelp or Facebook check ins. I started coming here when it opened a while back after the old place burned down and they rebranded as yummefy. Covid has messed up the amazing feel of this place. I loved going here after work sitting outside next to patrons of other restaurants while sipping on one of their special soda fountain drinks. They've finally gotten back into full swing and I'm excited to start fully enjoying this place again! read more

I've passed by Yummefy a handful of times on my way to grab food from some of the surrounding restaurants, but I decided to stop by and check it out recently. I was craving pad thai and my usual restaurant is closed on Mondays so I figured I might as well try out a new place that's conveniently located downtown. The restaurant wasn't super crowded when I was there and the food came out pretty quickly! The pad thai was freshly cooked, bursting with flavor, and had plenty of shrimp and chicken in it. While I'm still partial to the restaurant that I normally go to, this was definitely a nice surprise, and much more of a convenient location for me to visit as it's located downtown. That being said, their menu contains a wide variety of dishes, and I'm excited to try their drunken noodles or some of their curries next time I stop by. They also currently have a deal going on through Yelp where you can get 10% off of your order if you check in, so definitely check it out! read more

My disclaimer is I'm from LA, and we've got a pretty large "Thai Town" (it's hella big actually). I came out looking for Thai food, came up in Yelp, and I found Yummefy. I say all this cuz Yummefy was a mix of different Asian cultures, mostly Indian sub continent it seemed, man at counter told us he was Nepalese. He said it was a fusion of Asian flavors. Thai wasn't the vibe I got...or the taste. We got the coconut soup and Yummefy soup bowl, with chicken. Got the spicy Himalayan chicken too. My coconut soup was watery, and maybe that's how it's made here, but not what I'm used too (it was ok tho). My partner said his soup was bland, and ramen tasted out of the package. The Himalayan chicken was peppery and spicy (and I like spicy), and they have us what seemed like homemade(?) kimchi. I gave this place three stars cuz the owner seemed sincere, bland soup and good chicken. Another plus was Asians were cooking the food (not used to that at home). I'd come back... read more

I did not enjoy my visit here. The food was okay. There was a very rude gentleman that made for a very bad experience. I was not greeted when I walked in, after 5 minutes I decided to walk up to the bar to let them know I had an online order. The gentleman in the photograph got very ugly with me. I apologized and got my food and left. read more
