    Shrimp Dumpling
    Katherine C.

    I literally love yummy house dim sum. Fav pick me up / treat for anything. The service is good and my back grows a little bigger every time I get dim sum here.

    soup dumpling, steamed Bbq Pork bun, har gow, braised beef short ribs, steamed black bean pork riblets.

    Best dim sum in Gainesville. Yummy House is not a large sized dim sum restaurant like the ones you'd find in a large metropolitan city like NYC, LA, Seattle, or Chicago but for its size and location it does an impressive job with its variety of dim sum dishes. If you have not tried their dim sum, go and try it. Dim sum is traditional served during breakfast and lunch hours but now many restaurants serve it throughout the day. Dim sum is made up of small plates of steamed and fried dumplings, buns, and snacks served with tea. There is a large variety to chose from, and the ones I have tried from Yummy House: har gow, siu mai, sticky rice lotus leaf wrap, turnip cake, soup dumplings, braised chicken feet, pork buns, steamed stuff tofu skin rolls, egg custard tarts and egg custard buns, steamed black beef tripes, steamed shrimp balls, fried shrimp balls, shrimp rice noodle rolls, beef noodle rolls, roast pork puffs, shrimp chives, deep fried taro cake/puffs, peppers stuffed with shrimp, sesame balls, and I am sure I am forgetting some. For the past 10 years, Yummy House is where I go when I am craving dim sum and am in Gainesville. I am headed there today which made me realize that I'd never left a Yelp review of Yummy House Gainesville. They have other locations in Ocala and Tampa. I have only been to the Gainesville location.

    Food is great, some of my favorite Chinese food. Portions are massive. I'd probably order one dish for me in the future.

    Best Dim Sum in Gainesville! Service is impeccable and everything is so delicious.

    Stopped by for lunch on our road trip down to Miami. Food came out quickly and was pretty good

    I finally got a chance to try Yummy House for some takeout on a Monday afternoon. Even around lunchtime on a weekday the inside of the restaurant was packed. Picking up takeout was pretty easy, just enter and go immediately to the cash register at the end of the bar to pay. I ordered the salt and pepper calamari and the lunch special Spicy Yummy Chicken (crispy chicken stir fried with asparagus and fresh mushrooms in their spicy yummy sauce). The calamari were unique, mostly because they were tossed in Yummy House's famous salt and pepper mix (fresh green onions, cilantro, roasted garlic and minced chili). The portion was massive for an appetizer, leaving plenty leftover for another meal. The Spicy Yummy Chicken was good, although I would say it was nothing mind-blowing that I would immediately need to order again. Overall I was impressed with all different options on the menu, giving me plenty of reasons to check out Yummy House again soon.

    We went for Dim Sum and they had the carts out, which was great. And the food was very fresh. I usually go to the two Yummy Houses in Tampa, but was up here visiting a friend...yeah ! So we decided to try this YH too. We did get shumai both for lunch and to take home for later ( My Favorite ) Shanghai dumplings, Hong Kong sticky rice ( My 2nd fav) and an order of Salt & Pepper fried chicken wings......I would have given 5 stars but for the fact that it was freezing in the restaurant and had to go outside to warm up then come back in to continue lunch....and also by the time the wings came out of the kitchen we had finished our Dim Sum, had everything packed for takeout and we just took the wings to-go. The wings btw were smaller and kinda over cooked.....the wings in the South Tampa YH were always big and juicy It wasn't very busy and it was before 2 pm

    Beef Chow Fun
    Tiff H.

    Usually when we stop through Gainesville en route to or from Orlando, we grab fast food. But we were a bit sick of unhealthy fast food so we decided to find some Asian food. My dad suggested Yummy House so we ordered takeout at the restaurant. And PHEW the wait was FOREVER. I do prefer my food cooked up fresh for sure... but sheez. We ordered 3 dishes that we hoped would be relatively easy to munch on while en route home in the car: a house fried rice, a beef chow fun and a braised tofu dish. Not the best Chinese food I've ever had - seeing beef chow fun on the menu I thought it would be a little more authentic but everything tasted like typical Chinese takeout. I would say, coming from Atlanta, I'm pretty disappointed but I'm sure it's not bad for a Chinese restaurant in Gainesville.

    Yummy House in Ocala is our favorite Chinese restaurant without having to drive to Orlando. We live…read morein The Villages, unfortunately there just aren't any authentic ethnic restaurants in The Villages. There are wanna be Chinese restaurants in The Villages but the food is Chinese-American and I would not even eat there or recommend them. Yummy House in Ocala was actually referred to us by the owner of Square 1 Burgers in The Villages, another fantastic restaurant but that's another review. Yummy House offers a variety of authentic Chinese dishes, and they also offer Dim Sum on weekends. The first time my spouse and I went there, we couldn't believe the choices. We used to always drive to Peter's Kitchen in Orlando but it was over an hour to drive there for us. Ocala was much closer and to be quite honest just as good as the restaurant in Orlando. Every dish I've ordered there has been out of this world. Which makes it so hard for me to choose my entrée. I do have a favorite server at Yummy House. His name is Ming. So, when I dine at Yummy House, I always ask to be seated at Ming's area. I also golf in Ocala which friends, about 8 to 12 of us. After golf, we normally have lunch together too. So, Yummy House is at the top of the list for us. When we do, I call the restaurant ahead to make a reservation and ask them to assign Ming to us. Ming always provides excellent service and especially with me being Asian, he kind of knows what type of dish I like and when I order a dish he will normally make suggestions to add to the dish or cook a certain way that knows I would like. He also makes suggestions to each person in our group and sometimes he'll tell them to try a dish that he's sure they've never had before. He tries to take them out of their comfort zone. They've always been happy with his suggestion. The restaurant itself reminds me of some of the Chinese restaurants I've been to that is not a fast-food restaurant. Very authentic inside. They also offer a beer called Lucky Buddha. I think everyone likes to order the beef because the bottle is in the shape of Buddha. Yesterday, we met friends at Yummy House who are visiting from Boston. Unfortunately, Ming was off and another server took care of us. He was a good server but just not like Ming who really goes out of his way to talk to you, joke and laugh. However, he was not a bad server but he was just there to provide server and do his job. So, I cannot fault him for that. So overall the entire experience yesterday was good. I highly recommend Yummy House if you are near the Ocala area and are craving for authentic Chinese food.

    Tried YH Dim Sum and it totally hit the spot!…read more Everything we ordered was on point the shrimp rice rolls, sesame chicken, and BBQ pork were all so good. Flavor, texture, portion... no notes. The lychee martinis were a highlight (especially since they were doing BOGO ), and the staff made the whole experience even better super fun and great energy. If you're craving dim sum and a good time, this place is definitely worth the stop.

    I love visiting Saint Augustine so I was so excited when I found this dim sum restaurant!…read more Unfortunately I was very disappointed. I was dining by myself. I always order a lot of dishes because I like what I like and I also know I'll have leftovers. I sent back the pan fried taro pudding because it was so bland and it didn't have many of the main ingredients in it. If it were there, it was so skimpy I didn't find any. (The Chinese sausage and dried shrimp) The pain fries soy sauce noodles were overcooked. It's suppose to be pan fried and it was not. Also very skimpy on the black mushrooms. Not very flavorful. The Steamed shrimp dumplings were mediocre. The skin was gummy and fell apart. The shrimp filling wasn't too bad. The shrimp with rice pasta was probably the best dish there. But it was still lacking in flavor. The steamed ribs with black bean sauce was very bland. The ribs were tough and tasteless. The braised chicken feet were over cooked. The texture was horrible like eating mush. The flavors were also off. The egg tarts looked good but the flavors again were off. Borderline going bad. It had that slight aftertaste of sourness. The shell was also flavorless. The BBQ pork buns were also disappointing. The ratio of bread to filling was off. Very small amount. But I was a little happy this happened because the filling didn't taste good at all. The hot tea was also disappointing. I always order jasmine tea when having dim sum. They used a low quality tea bag instead of real loose jasmine tea leaves which also includes the flowers. No fragrance at all of Jasmine tea. Needless to say, I will not be going back on my next visit. It was very expensive for what they give you. Especially since the food was so bad. I gave it two stars because the service was very good and the view was decent. I am Chinese... born in Hong Kong. So I know what dim sum should taste like. I wish I had seen the review that had a photo of the salt and pepper shrimp before I went because I would not have gone. Their salt and pepper shrimp is not authentic and I would have not gone and saved myself $80 for my lunch.

    We were in the area and early for an appointment so we stopped in here for a Diet Coke and snack…read more Very nice establishment. Music was perfect but soft enough to have a conversation. We ordered cucumber salad in spicy sauce and soup dumplings. We've never had either dish anywhere. Service was very friendly but we thought at first it was slow for what we ordered. The answer to that was, there was a party ahead of us that ordered quite a few dishes, but we were served before them, SO the answer became apparent that the kitchen was slammed and we were fine with that! The cucumber dish was fantastic! The soup dumplings looked and tasted fresh and delicious. The one downer was only one dumpling had soup, but we poured the spicy sauce on them and that was great.

We got two styles of dumplings: The chicken and cabbage, and the shrimp and chive flavors. We enjoyed the chicken and cabbage one the most. We also got one of our goto's: Turnip Cakes. These were also good, but very soft, almost fall apart. We also got some soup dumplings. I was wondering why they didn't give us any soup spoons, which is customary. Now, I may know why: There was no soup in them. They were soupless dumplings. I also ordered some spare ribs. I thought I ordered some blackbean sauce ones, but maybe I either mis-read the menu or they brought the wrong ones, because these were more like black pepper ribs. Regardless, they were decent, and tender. Even the connective tissue around the bones wasn't too tough. One dish I wouldn't get again was the Rice noodles with bbq pork. It was very bland. They don't have a large menu of non-dim-sum items. The service was decent, and the restaurant isn't very large.

As…read moresoon as my niece and I got a hold of the list of items we could order, we couldn't stop checking off one delicious-looking dish after another! While we ended up ordering more than we could possibly fit in our stomachs, we were okay with that, because we could continue enjoying the food at home. Once we put in our order, dish after dish kept on coming out, filling our table and dazzling our eyes and noses. The highlights of the evening were the pork and chive dumplings, whose filling was plentiful, savory and was perfectly blanketed by a chewy silky wrapper perfectly pan fried, but not oily. The other amazing dish we both gobbled up without delay was the fried rice, that was seasoned to perfection and had big chunks of pork throughout. Fried rice like this can be so simple and yet so delicious - highlighting each of the ingredients individually and how they work together in harmony. Overall, the experience at Lucky Cat was exemplary, and I can't wait to return!

The restaurant was basically themed and noise was not overwhelming. It's a nice spot for a casual dinner or a date.
