    Chicken
    Sherprina L.

    The chicken and duck here are very flavorful, prices are very reasonable as well. This is becoming my new fave BBQ place. I have yet to try noodle dishes they offer.

    Char siu fan
    Matt W.

    To be clear: I had a nice time chatting in Chinese with the lady at the counter. I can't fault the service. But I can fault the food. I wanted char siu (BBQ pork) so why not go to a place with BBQ in the name? Ordered, picked a veggie, watched them chop my pork. It was a tiny portion, which was actually a blessing in disguise given the dry, grizzled texture. It wasn't the worst char siu I've ever had but probably the worst in a Chinatown.

    My mom and I shop here once in while. Today is the second day of Lunar NY, most shops were closed. Came in around 10:30am, or it would be busy like other shops. My mom and I made a quick stop before heading home to do some more prayers. We purchase a whole roasted duck and a pound & half of roasted pork. Both were fresh cooked from the oven and it was volcano hot!! The service is always nice and fast. The guys there are always accommodating with what we want and don't want. Or if my mom wants extra things, they're nice and give us a discount. It's a really small space with limited tables if you want to order a rice plate and eat there.

    We rolled in here late to get some dinner takeout. It was around 5pm on Saturday and their duck was already sold out so we settled with charsiu and roasted pork. Everything was cooked perfectly and definitely solved my craving for roasted pork. Just a bit sad that I couldn't get the duck since my bf loves it. Seems like they change the veggie options as well since we got lotus root instead of bokchoy or other veggies in the photo. They only accept cash, Venmo or Zelle. Other than that, we were happy with the meal and will go back to try their duck.

    Roast Duck w/ Wonton Noodle Soup
    Adam B.

    This place straddles the line between BBQ joint and restaurant. They have the typical roast meats, but they offer multiple permutations of meal options that use the BBQ meats. More than just your boring roast meat over white rice pairing. I'm especially a fan of their noodle soup with BBQ meat. Sweet & Sour Pork w/ Chow Mein: This kinda looked like something from Panda Express, but tasted much better. The pork chunks were bigger and very firm and nicely fried. If I was a betting man, I'd even suspect they twice-fried yesterday's crispy pork belly that didn't sell. Anyway, it all tasted great with the sauce and peppers and pineapple. Pro-tip, you can substitute the chow mein with white rice, which I think goes very nicely with the pork. Unfortunately, they wasted space with some green vegetable side dish. Would have much preferred if they just put more sweet & sour pork in that slot. BBQ Pork, Roast Pork with Rice Noodle Soup: First of all, these weren't rice noodles. They were more like the egg noodle used in wonton soup. But that's actually a plus in my book since I only like rice noodles in pho. Anyway, I absolutely love the combination of noodle soup and freshly cut BBQ meats. The soup broth and all the starch of the noodles really help cut the saltiness of the meats. Much better than munching the meat by itself or with a little rice. Best of all, the last few slurps are broth are full of flavor from the meat! Roast Duck w/ Wonton Noodle Soup: Another nice pairing of roast meat and noodle soup. The duck meat portion was smaller than the pork in my other soup, partly because there were fewer pieces but also because the duck had bones. But to compensate for that, there were six large wontons. So meaty, they were like pork meatballs with a light doughy wrapper around them. It was a bit of an effort to careful pick off the meat and skin from the bones. More concentration than I usually care to spend on soup. But it still tasted nice together. Unfortunately, not edamame as was seen in the photo.

    ** The following review reflects my takeout experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** I was kinda wondering if this Yummy was related to Yummy Bakery on Jackson, also in Chinatown. Is there a Yummy dynasty that I'm not aware of and perhaps the basis of an Aaron Spelling family soap opera about power, greed, big shoulders pads in sequin gowns, and cat fights in a public fountain. OK, maybe I grew up on too much '80's TV because this compact spot looked like a more intimate family operation with chickens and ducks hanging in the window. I was actually lured by a photo of their $10 Salted Chicken. It was as close to steamed chicken I could get since it came with garlic ginger sauce. It was actually roasted and chopped up aggressively by (presumably) the husband (photo: https://bit.ly/2JQ0BoL). It was pretty tasty though my tongue sometimes ran into random bones. The wife (again, another presumption on my part) was quite social beneath her mask and tried to convince me to go for a Chinese doughnut. Tempted but decided to pass on the carbs. Alexis Carrington wouldn't have wolfed one either. FOOD - 4 stars...I likes me some salted chicken AMBIANCE - 4 stars...surprisingly sunny spot and kinda old-timey Chinatown SERVICE - 4 stars...nice but no need for a doughnut please TOTAL - 4 stars...the Yummy Dynasty...costumes by Nolan Miller RELATED - Exploring Chinatown?

    Lunch Special - pick your own veggie protein sides and comes with noodles or fried
    Hailey C.

    Delicious lunch special - you can choose rice and three items or noodles and two items for $6! Are you kidding me?! 6 dollars for a meal in San Francisco. Unheard of. Even if they raise the price, it's still a great deal. You can pick from rice, noodles and two sides which include various protein and veggies. I got the braised beef and broccoli with fried noodles and it was tasty. The owners are really nice and speak Chinese and English!

    Pork Spareribs with Vegetables. With complementary soup in the cup!
    Melinda L.

    There's usually not a whole lot to say about quickie Chinese food places, because they just fulfill your hunger or whatever Dim Sum cravings you may have. But man, I never thought I could be pleasantly surprised by some old school Cantonese-style food for under 10 bucks! For some reason, while I was in the area, I had a deep craving for some Spare Ribs with Bok Choy and Cantonese-style soup that includes the best pieces of roasted duck. Yeah, I ordered both on two different visits and they were so perfect and just brought me back to feeling like home. The counter staff here are real chill here and they speak suprisingly good English, along with Cantonese, and Mandarin. So don't be shy when you order, 'cause they'll understand you. I had a nice lady at the counter who was just the kindest. Like a long lost Aunt! But, like I said, the staff here are all chill. You can also dine here, as there are some tables for patrons. But, they can get occupied fast. I think this place does only cash, but that's all I use when I'm in Chinatown anyway. So bring cash! I will be returning here!

I enjoyed the whole experience, but I don't think it was necessarily anything super special or worth any longer than an hour wait, personally. There was a long line after we left, so we definitely felt a little rushed to finish our food and leave to make room for others to dine. It is indeed very tiny (literally 11 seats).

We were a large group of 15, including several kids, and we completely understand that the restaurant is small and accommodating a group our size can be challenging. We waited in line for almost an hour with around 6 children. During the wait, a staff member named Sue came outside, asked how many people were in our group, and handed us menus. Since it was our first visit, we were naturally asking questions and trying to understand the menu. Unfortunately, throughout the interaction, her body language and expressions felt impatient and unwelcoming. There was visible frustration and eye-rolling, which made us feel uncomfortable rather than welcomed. Even after we were seated, the experience continued to feel tense. One of the toddlers in our group started crying briefly -- something fairly common with young children -- and we were told to "keep it low out of respect." While we absolutely respect other diners, the way it was communicated felt lacking in empathy, especially on a busy Mother's Day with families dining out. A small gesture of kindness or understanding could have gone a long way. Instead, my friend felt compelled to take the child outside, which was disappointing. Additionally, after being seated, we had to remind the staff multiple times to come take our orders. What makes this especially unfortunate is that the ramen itself was truly delicious and lived up to the hype. The food was excellent, which is why this experience was so disappointing overall. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because customer service and hospitality matter just as much as the food experience. Unfortunately, this was not the ideal way to end our Mother's Day celebration.
