I did a small take out order here yesterday. I got the boneless spare ribs and hot and sour soup. The spare ribs were good. They weren't too sweet or greasy. The soup was decent but I would have liked it a bit more on the sour side. All in all, Yummy House was good take out Chinese. It wasn't amazing but it certainly wasn't horrible either....just good, solid take out Chinese and that works for me. read more

Pretty solid Chinese! The staff is fast and nice! Never had any issues, not my favorite place but definitely on the top. Food is good! read more

The food is good. It's exciting. There's a good variety of Chinese regional foods and the spicings vary from mild to hot, so every taste and mood is met. Appetizers -- including but not limited to crab Rangoon and beef triangles -- are delightful and certainly key the appetite for meat, poultry, and vegetable courses. Service is very professional. As I always pick-up, I've found orders are prepared with care, and ready when promised by the staff. It's a friendly and community-centric restaurant business. Although we've never eaten "in", it's clean and bright and welcoming. It's a real asset for our town. read more

We enjoy the food here the best above and beyond others! For that reason we have come back many times all without issues! For taste a level above give them a try! read more

Sadly the food was subpar. I wanted to give them another shot since last time I got old rice and cold food. This time my rice was not cooked all the way leaving a starchy crunchy mush in my mouth... gross. My pork spare ribs sadly I think were from yesterday and refilled to warm up because the consistency was charred jerky- (really bad!) it was so dry I fed it to my dogs cause I was flossing my teeth with it. read more

Not quite as consistent as it used to be but still some of the best food around for the prices. Their sweetened crab rangoon are my favorite anywhere. We pretty much always get Pu Pu Platters and Lo Mein. Egg rolls are big, chicken fingers are real good, the House Special Lo Mein is our regular purchase. read more

Prices are responsible food is good, service is ok. There egg foo young is awesome however; they need to add more gravy to the meal

I love the combination variety they give here. They are always so fast getting everything out. Every time I call in, it's never more than 15-20 minutes max. Reasonable prices, good portations, and very filling. Insides small, but they do have a few tables you can sit at. Honestly its more of a grab and go kinda place. I always order out to bring home though. read more

Yummy House - D.2 Beef teriyaki, chicken wings/fingers, crab Rangoon, red boneless pork - Chinese Near Me - Sanford, Maine

First time going and we had excellent fresh food. Crab Rangoons were awesome! Definitely will order again.

Do not go here if you want good food. I have always enjoyed Yummy House in Biddeford and assumed it would be the same or similar. Egg drop soup consisted of chicken broth and eggs, no veggies and no flavor. Crab rangoons had a very sweet taste, as if someone had used flavored cream cheese. They did not appear to be deep fried, and the filling was neither hot nor melted. In fact it still looked like it looks when you slice it off the brick of cream cheese. Portions of pork fried rice were very big, although I was hard-pressed to find any pork. Cashew chicken was dried out and very salty. read more

Without a doubt this was the worst food I have ever had to the point that after a few mouthfuls we threw it out with the exception of the egg rolls. The sweet and sour pork was all dough and totally raw inside with a piece of grey pork in the middle. The chow fun was so-so, but not good enough not to throw it in the garbage. I spent the night with a stomach ache and frequent runs to the bathroom. All in all, this was worse than canned Chinese food. read more

I stopped for lunch at Yummy House located next door to Goodwill in the Midtown Mall (plaza). The place is not fancy and has the atmosphere of a typical old school strip plaza Chinese takeout restaurant with a few tables and open kitchen. They also offer 17 Luncheon Specials ($4.95-$8.25) served until 4PM daily, 8 Combinations ($9.25) and Kid's Happy Box (served with soda). The prices seem a bit high for Chinese food, but the portions coming out were pretty generous. A group of folks were enjoying their lunches, a smorgasbord of food on the table. I decided to get takeout since the restaurant was pretty hot inside and it was in the mid 80s outside. I ordered the L5 ($5.25) Vegetable Lo Mein, Pork Fried Rice, & 4 Chicken Fingers and a can of Diet Pepsi ($1.25). The food was cooked to order fairly quickly and I enjoyed my lunch outside by my ride on a nice day. The food was very good and tasty. The vegetable lo mein had a good mix of vegetables (onion, carrots, sprouts, green peppers) in firm noodles. The fried rice (light colored) had tender and soft pork cubes. The chicken fingers were very crispy outside with tender boneless chicken inside. There was enough food left over for dinner. "Yummy" is the proper word to describe the food at Yummy House. read more

Food is very good. And the portions are huge. And very friendly staff. Only issue it needs some updating

Where do I start (should have read reviews before I ordered). Chicken Cho Mein was hot on bottom, cold in middle and top. Boneless spare ribs are like jerky. Chicken wings WAY over done. Orange chicken, the only good thing was the orange, chicken was way over done. would not recommend at all. read more

Simple & Fast. Packs some items separately to prevent being a soggy mess when you get home. Good basic Chinese food. Generous portions that allows sharing. Available parking. read more

Not sure what's going on with this place. I love their egg rolls but EVERY SINGLE TIME I go they are closed. Even when it clearly says online they are open. frustrating When there isn't really anywhere else you want to go.. read more

Best Chinese food ever!! The duck sauce is the best I've ever had. I've been all over the country and this is by far my favorite. I love their chicken teriyaki and there pork fried rice. It's fast and easy. It's pretty clean too. The man that takes your order could work on his attitude but besides that 5 stars! This is a very yummy house. read more

Yummy House - a red lantern hanging from the ceiling - Chinese Near Me - Sanford, Maine

out of all the places for Chinese food that we have in sanford Yummy house is by far the best! I have never had Chinese as flavorful and "yummy" as this! We got the pork fried rice which was so flavorful and amazing. The beef teriyaki was the best iv ever had! read more

We became addicted to Yummy house the first time we moved to Shapleigh and tried it 7 years ago. Portion sizes are generous, the people there are extremely friendly and work very hard to get orders done on time even when they are overloaded with orders. We love the Pu-Pu platter, they have the best-tasting crab rangoons we've had (and we're very picky), and their lo-mein and fried rice is always loaded with the good stuff. The single drawback is that the dining area leaves room to be desired - but we don't go there to dine - it's primarily a take-out place, and money is clearly spent on the quality of the food over the quality of the ambience. Fair tradeoff. If you want the best Chinese takeout in Southern Maine (possible all of Maine) - this is the place to pick up your order. read more

my favorite "greasy takeout Chinese" restaurant of all time, I grew up eating the happy boxes and still order them to this day! The food is always consistently delicious and portions are huge. the Owners are super friendly and if there is ever a mistake with the order they make up for it by giving extra food and free drinks without hesitation. The place is always crowded, especially on fri/sat evenings but that just shows why its one of the only businesses left in the midtown mall read more

The food sucks. Go to green tree. The original owners opened a new restaurant. The food is great and the portions are huge

Yesterday I tried Yummy House after my favorite local Chinese spot was closed for the weekend. I was bummed and craving Chinese, so the next closest place was Yummy House. I have heard of it before, but never tried their food. I looked up their menu online and decided to go with a Combo plate, C3. The restaurant itself was blah. The outside didn't stand out at all, and looked old. The inside was pretty much the same. Service was average. I got home and dug into my food. The portion size was quite large. So the taste test began. The fried rice was flavorless. It wasn't greasy which I appreciated, but it just didn't have any type of flavor at all. The pork spare ribs were very fatty and greasy. The flavor of them was kind of burnt. I tossed most of them. The beef teriyaki had a nice flavor, but the beef was extremely tough. The crab rangoons were pretty good, they were much sweeter than what I'm used to, but not bad. The chicken wings were also pretty good, but they too lacked any flavor. They tasted like they were just deep fried with no seasonings or sauce. I also got to try a egg roll from them (my dining partner's meal came with one and they aren't a fan of egg rolls). The egg roll tasted like one you'd buy from the frozen section at the grocery store. At the end of the meal, in which I ended up throwing away most of my meal, I decided once there was enough. It kills me to throw away food. But this food was just horrible. Save your time and money, and skip this place. If you are looking for great tasting Chinese food, with excellent service, check out Green Tea Restaurant in Sanford. It's right down the road from Yummy House and it got a 5 star rating from me! read more

Great, traditional Chinese food and not overpriced! This is my regular spot for Chinese food.

I wasn't very impressed. Ordered food over the phone. Was not offered any size options. When I picked up my order, it was much higher priced that I expected. They gave us large on everything. Food was just okay. read more

PLEASE READ... Dont be fooled by the appearance of this restaurant. It is small and yes, its in a strip mall, but the quality and quantity of the food is AMAZING!!! I have been going there since they opened and they have stayed consistently good. You are missing out if you dont give this place a try. read more

This place used to be great, but unfortunately times have changed. Food is tasteless and over priced. Portion sizes are decent, but what does that matter if the food is so bad you don't even want to eat it!Usually in my household save our leftovers, this time we didn't think twice before throwing them away. Do yourself a favor and AVOID! read more

We love the food an go there weekly, it is the only Chinese restaurant we go to in town. Don't let its looks scare you. It is very clean and the food is great with portions large enough to make for 3 meals instead of 1. Try it out. read more

One of my favorite Chinese food places! Great tasting food and huge portion sizes. It's always super busy Friday and Saturday nights, sometime a 45 minute wait for take out. read more

I go here all the time and the food has always been good and the service is very good. Great people and great food. If you are in town and want some Chinese food I would highly recommend!! read more

This has been my favorite place for Chinese for years. The food is delicious and the staff is always very pleasant. I usually get egg rolls and boneless ribs. The egg rolls are never greasy or dry and the boneless ribs have minimal fat. Love this place. read more

I live nearby and go here perhaps once every 6 weeks. The qulaity of the food is good to excellent. It's definitely a take-out place; the on-premesis dining is perhaps 8-10 tables along the path from the entrance to the counter and especially in winter gets a bit of drafts as people come and go through the enrty, which doesn't have a vestibule. My biggest criticism is that for take-out orders they often ignore minor reqeusts like "skip the duck sauce, but extra mustard". A solid "4" read more

Horrible service. In the past year, three times we've called ahead for our food order. You are NEVER given a number, nor do they take your name for the order. When we arrived to pick up our order, they ask you what you ordered, take payment and THEN proceed to make the food. This past Sunday, it happened again. However, this time, I called him out on it. When I brought up the fact that they just started my order AFTER I paid, he said "I know". Exact words. No apology, no explanation, nothing. When the order was done, just handed me my order. Not a word, just a stare. Will NEVER come here again. Worst service, ever! read more

I lived in Sanford for 11 years always went here. I am visiting and I wanted to treat the kids to luncheons and I am disappointed I was OVERCHARGED. I added up on the beyond menu prices I got $29 and when I got there $39. I compared the menu with the online there were a few increases but I will still over charged almost $10 and if I knew that I would've went to Egg Roll Cafe where the food is much better! :( read more

For take out Chinese food, it's quite good! I have eaten at all 3 places in Sanford and this is our go to. The fried rice is good. The spring rolls are awesome, although too greasy some days. read more

I think this place might be closed down now? Either that or they were closed for renovations when I tried to go a month ago. The food was really good! The wonton and hot and sour soup were good, along with the combination plate I got. The portions were big and priced good. The drinks were very strong (which I like). I'll need to check again if they're still open, but if they are I'd go back in a second! read more

This was the best Chinese food in town until it changed ownership. Not so good now and portions sizes are noticeably different....

The food is very bland every time I eat at the establishment. The service provided is half decent. The only good thing is the portions and only if you can stomach the food. I would suggest visiting a different place to eat if you enjoy Chinese food. read more

Went there on a whim after hearing it was pretty good. I have to say for chinese in Sanford it is the best in town. Just don't look in the kitchen when you order. Not a dine in restaurant, only take out unless just a couple of friends for lunch menu. read more

Yummy House USED to be the best Chinese place in Sanford, now that they have changed owners... their food and service is AWFUL. Take your money to Green Tea or Golden Palace instead read more

Best...the VERY BEST chinese food ever!!!! Just moved to Sanford and the food here is by far the best I have ever eaten. Fast and reasonably priced especially for the amount of food you get... I can never finish it all. I still can't decide what my favorite thing to eat there is since everything is soooooo wonderful. Not a fancy place, but well worth a visit for sure. Biggest and most flavorful beef teriyaki on the planet!!!! Give them a try...you'll be pleasantly surprised I'm sure. GOING THERE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
