Yum Yum Chinese Restaurant

I was raised in Cincinnati, but since have lived in both Seattle and San Francisco who incidentally are known for their Asian food. But the Yum Yum tops both cities! And that is no boast. I remember when I stepped into this unassuming place my freshman year in college. i didn't think it would be much but I was hungry, but after ordering the Eight Treasure Lo Mein, I knew all of ther chinese restaurants would pale in comparison. The owners are meticulous and will insist that you tase your food before you leave to make sure it was made to your liking (yea, like that will ever happen in San Francisco or Seattle!) Ok, so the location leaves a lot to be desired (but I have heard that they are fixing up that section of Race Street) and the decor looks a little run down but take a chance. You will no be disappointed. Whenver I go back home this is one of the first places I go to. Well, that and Izzy's Pros: Affordable, fantastic food, fantastic service Cons: The neighborhood, inconsistent hours, cash only more

Easily the most authentic and tasty Chinese-Han restaurant in Cincinnati. Warm and attentive family owned and run. Ask as many questions as you like, all orders made from scratch!!! Call ahead to make sure they are open; usually only open for dinner. Also, they only take CASH because they are a small and family owned business. If you like Red Pepper in Clifton, cuisine at Yum-yum is far better than Red Pepper. Try and see for yourself!!! -Bob more

I have been eating at Yum-Yum since I was 2 years old. They have become a second family to me over the years. I wouldnt want anyone to pass up a chance to have Mrs. Li cook you a knockout dinner. She cooks everything as you order it, nothing sits under a light,,,,its all made fresh as you order it, that is why it is so good. more
