    This place stays packed so be prepared for a 10-15 minute wait most times. Limited parking and seating lunch is always crowded so come early to beat the crowd.

    Salt and Pepper Calamari or Seafood combo (with shrimp, scallops, and calamari) is to die for!! House fried rice is very tasty and a great portion size! Love this place!!!

    This is easily the best Chinese I've had in the southeastern USA. Crazy generous portions - the plate in the photo already had a third of it eaten.

    The lines are always long at Yummy House. However, there are a number of larger tables (seating for 6-8 people). Arrive with a large party and get seated more quickly!

    Dim Sum lunches are good and a good value. The XO sauce is very good though not very spicy, but if you're use to fresh Gulf Grouper, stick with something besides the grouper.

    Good food and service. Not much ambiance. Not a Bonefish. Also a lot cheaper. Hunan dish was a little sweet. Wanted it hot (spicy) but it did not come that way.

    Black pepper egg plant is fantastic and food portions are quite large. Bring your own chopsticks because theirs are too thick and slick.

    Yummy House can get very busy. To avoid having to wait, arrive by 11:30 am for lunch and 5:30 for dinner.

    Parking is awful.. People stand on places so you can't even park if there is spaces. Owners do nothing about the issue. Good food though. Get take out.

    If they say it's a 20-minute wait, expect 45. The ambiance is poor and the service is dire (even worse if you're stuck in the back), but the food is very good.

    Wait was very long fir dinner. Food did not arrive together and was not hot. It was okay. Maybe just too many people and not enough staff.
