“Service excellent, food good although the crispy duck was not crispy. The plum sauce it was in was delicious though and my sweet and sour pork balls lovely. Lots of pork, nice batter ans sweet and sour sauce has good taste if a little thin. Over all good!”

“I recently visited this place for a takeaway dinner with my friends. The biggest issue that I was faced with is their only cash policy which I was told of after I had done my order. I had to go back all the way to a cash point and get money from there. Secondly, in terms of the taste and flavour, I wasn't really fond of it. The taste was a little bland for me and the rice was extremely dry. I could not even finish it because of its dryness. The chicken and beef were still cold. I wasn't really happy with the food.”

“We used to order from The Yummy House years ago but hadn't for years (why?). We had a takeaway tonight and it was amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection - piping hot, tasty and so satisfyingly yummy! And the delivery girl arrived 6 pm …”
