Yum Yum Chinese Restaurant - Cincinnati

This place has been around for 44 years! I always thought it was an abandoned, shut down restaurant until I noticed the door was open and being the gentleman adventurer that I am, I stuck my head inside. Walking into Yum Yum was like going back in time to some little eatery in China. The waiter is ancient. I mean like he could of been one of Caine 's teachers from the tv show, 'Kung Fu. ' he 's quick to point out that its take out and cash only. As I wait for my order, I look around a place that was once a proud sit down restaurant but the ravages of time and a deteriorating downtown had abandoned it. And yet Yum Yum abides. A delightful older Asian lady appears with my food and asks me to taste it before she bags it. Who does this? Pleased with the spice level in my shrimp fried rice, I thank her as she places the container in a brown paper bag. This place is a hole in the wall in a good way. You 'll feel like your eating in old China here.

What can I say... a perfect gem or any foodies looking for an interesting dining experience! I must admit, the place is quite unassuming from the outside...very humble sign, leading you into a dining room from GOD only know which era

Awesome authentic food. Taste is totally different from the commercial Chinese hotels. The couple who runs the restaurant are too good and respectful. We enjoy the dining service because the setup and interior takes you back to olden days which we could have never imagined. Had been there twice and both the time we were the only people in the dining area as most of their customers prefer To Go service. But that gave us exclusive feel being the only people while dining. If you like authentic food this is the place! Cheers!

I admire this spot! They give tasty meals, their menu is nice, The chief cook in that place is a real pro, I like a lot trying all their dishes. The food is always of high class, the attitude towards the customers is very good too. I often eat in this place and I was never discontended. Highly recommended.

I meet friends in this great restaurant many times a year! This is my favorite place to have a bite. I go to this spot routinely. The cooking is great, the staff members are friendly and the rates are good. I enjoy eating in this restaurant to have a tasty meal.
