We have eaten here many times and never been disappointed. The staff has been helpful. Don’t hesitate to ask the staff for suggestions they are more than happy to help you make some new choices that work together. Tan Tan noodles and Mongolian Hot Pots are worth a try. They have a good variety Szechuan cuisine along with house specials and other Chinese dishes. Service is good and the décor is above average for a Chinese restaurant. We will return.

The Yum Yum Chinese Restaurant is a very popular spot in North Van, a popularity I can only conclude attests to the dearth of really decent Chinese restos on the North Shore. We bring my Mum here every once in awhile as she, and all her friends love it. Green beans, Bei-jing Duck, Spicy Prawns ...... and all the usual dishes are actually quite well prepared, and taste fabulous!!! Definately will come back!!!

I saw Yum Yum last week, and when I returned to the area, I thought I would check it out. It’s lunch time anyway.

I like it, clean, cozy, friendly service, and I ordered Chicken in black bean sauce with rice. My food arrived quickly, super hot, fresh and lots of chicken, this was great meal on a rainy day. If I had more time, i would have explored the menu but It will have to wait for my next visit.

I like their food, it cost under $8.35 before tip and will be back.

Recommend.

this is a great place. The food is amazingly delicious and authentic - real and prepared with pride by the owner. Try their special green beans and authentic dishes- I've never had this before but it will be one of those dishes that I'll crave if I ever leave Vancouver. The menu is full of delicious dishes that never over powers the goodness of the ingredients.
I'm definitely going back!!!!

We paid $14 for 8 Chicken Balls. We're pretty sure it wasnt even chicken. It was pink in the middle and the only reason I ate it is because we all figured it was actually pork. I debated on phoning and demanding a refund but what a headache. We're just gonna chalk this up to a learning experience : Never eat here again.
Must say, the chow mein was decent, but not good enough to convince us to order from there again.

the wanton soup was very sad, i hate cheap wanton soup.. and the rest didn't blow me away either.

the waitress didn't know much english but that's not uncommon but the food just really cheapened up the whole experience.

not going to be returning...

We have only ordered delivery from Yum Yum, and consistency problems aside (dishes don’t always taste the same), their food is pretty good. We've found it to be especially tasty on Friday and Saturday nights, so perhaps that's when the good chef is cooking!

Usually we steer clear of the appetizers, though their Crispy Spring Rolls are nice (they add a little hint of cinnamon or nutmeg ... not sure which) and their Mooshu Pork is excellent with a noticeable ginger flavor and lots of wood ear mushrooms (not sure why it’s listed as an appetizer, there’s enough to be an entree).

Deep fried prawns are good if you like fried things – definitely a homemade batter. Other standouts are Chicken with Chinese Broccoli, Black Pepper Beef, Double Cooked Sliced Pork with Garlic Pepper and Cabbage, Prawns with Curry Sauce and Fried Green Beans Szechwan Style.

Delivery is always prompt and within the time frame quoted, and phone manner is friendly and courteous.

I've eaten here just now, and once a couple of years ago.

I'll preface this review by saying I don't dine at chinese restaurants very often due to a myriad of poor service and cleanliness experiences at most of them.

So on my first visit to Yum Yum I was very pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and friendliness.

The food I've had so far has been good enough. Nothing mind blowing, but that's probably just me not finding the interesting items on the menu yet as I'm not a chinese food expert.

Service, I am conflicted about. The staff are friendly, especially what I am guessing are the young owners. They don't seem jaded and seem to be putting a lot into the restaurant. That alone means a lot to me as most chinese places I visit make you feel like you are inconveniencing them with your visit.

Service on the first visit was great. Service on the second visit started out well but deteriorated as the evening went on. They present the dishes in a friendly way, pour your pop, your soup, place the dishes right in front of you, etc. My drink ran out and nobody came by for a while to check. We started dining a bit after 8 and were done by about 9:30 when the restaurant was winding down to close. While a number of people were still eating service seemed to grind to a halt as the staff all seemed more interested in counting up their tips for the night. After about 30 minutes with no bill in sight had to go up front to pay. You could see the other diners in the place wondering what was happening too. My advice is don't come near closing time. I think we were also overcharged but by that time just wanted to get out of there.

Ambience - the room is an open square but the decor is nice and it's clean. I'd give it 4 stars but have to take one off because it was way too hot in there. This was on a cool 20C summer day too. I'm not sure if they have A/C, if not, this place would get ridiculous on a hot day.
