Yum Yum Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Dartmouth

I've lived in the area over four years and just tried here last night for the first time, when out running errands with a friend. Around 7pm we pulled in and I was the only customer to order. The owner greeted me immediately and said the food would take about 10 minutes, which it did. The combination #3 (sweet & sour chicken, chicken chow mein, fried rice, with egg roll) was very satisfying. A somewhat large portion, decent flavor, lots of chicken in the balls. Actually you receive a 2nd egg roll for free when ordering any of the combination plates. I forget the price. Online I can only find their current menu on Skip the Dishes ($17) so I am sure it is probably $14 or 15 to order directly in person. I definitely will be back, especially bc I live so close that the food will still be hot when I get home. For a laugh, when we got home, we put on this episode of Trailer Park Boys from season two, where Ricky took Sarah for Chinese here at Yum Yum's!

2nd visit: A couple of weeks after the first (late Nov 2023) tried the Chicken Lo Mein. Not bad, salty but not too salty, good sized portion.

3rd visit: Another couple of weeks later (early Dec 2023). Tried the Kung Po Chicken, which was good as well, but not near as spicy as I expected, so if I got this again, I'd request spicier. Shanghai Noodles were good, the standard of what you get most places.

Consistent so far, with the combination dinner being my favorite. Always about 10 minutes to get your food when you order in person. ...

This is the go to Chinese food restaurant I have found after a long search since living in Nova Scotia. When giving the rating I separate it's rating category in comparison to going to a fine dining experience. So far I have had the items from a Dinner for 2 plus meat spring rolls. Nothing short of being blown away, every item was cooked as close to perfection you can get. Each item deserves a thorough review as they all genuinely surprised me but I shall not for both our sake: flavour, consistency, portions, and a truly harmonious balance of grease/oil/moisture in each item. I have not had a bad experience, I won't ever care even if I do. This establishment has both earned my respect and culinary appreciation. Please don't order from them on a food app. It's...

This is by far the worst chinese place I have ordered from. Picked my mother up some chinese food. She took one bite of each and refused to eat it. I'm like, can't be that bad. I was wrong.Spent $17 for a combo. Honey garlic ribs, chicken chow mein, chicken fried rice and two egg rolls. The egg rolls tasted like they were deep fried in old greece. Rice was dry and no flavor. Ribs had no flavor(couldn't taste any honey garlic flavor)and next to no meat(had hard stuff throughout you barely got any meat to try)Chicken chow mein had no flavor. And there was a weird taste on the bottom. Not sure if it was from the rice or chicken chow mein. Will end up throwing the rest in the compost. Not sure how to post pics anymore but when figure it out I...
