Quick info
About Yumm Tumms 美食美客
On Old Christchurch Rd in Bournemouth, Yumm Tumms 美食美客 is a Chinese restaurant serving Szechuan and north Chinese cuisine alongside Asian fusion and Cantonese dishes. The menu runs from Sichuan Boiled Fish to egg fried rice, with less common cuts such as gizzards, intestine, and pig ear also listed. Portions are large, and dishes tend to arrive generous rather than sparing. Payment is cash only, though bank transfer has worked for some, and diners can bring their own bottle for a small corkage charge. Seating is walk-in with no reservations taken, and when a large group is ahead in the queue, the wait for food can stretch longer than usual.

“Went as a group of 6 to this unassuming Chinese restaurant. Looks are definitely deceptive here. The decor is basic and this is not one for a romantic night out. But the food!!! Oh my goodness! So delicious. And very reasonable. We ordered a main each to share plus 3 rice and one egg fried rice and bill was £100 for all of us. It's BYOB with small corkage charge. Offi next door. Also cash only so bring some! Cash point nearby for emergencies. Don't tell too many people about this one as it's only a small restaurant and you might not get in !!”

“Service was good, servings are in big portions...ambiance is ok.. we ordered the tom yum noodles, the broth was delicious and generous on toppings but the noodles were soggy.. the kimchi fried rice and gyozas can be better (taste wise) Lot of food options which is good. They do cash only. Id say 3.5”

“Tasty food and huge portion, but wait was unfortunately very long for us which took 45 minutes for the food to arrive, as there was a big group before us.”

Customer Review Summary
The caveats are practical and recur. Several note the restaurant is cash only, with one paying by bank transfer instead. One reviewer found the Sichuan boiled fish not spicy enough and missing Sichuan peppercorns despite asking for heat. Another found the tom yum broth delicious but the noodles soggy, with the kimchi fried rice and gyozas underwhelming. One waited 45 minutes for food behind a big group.
