Yummi House Chinese Cuisine — Restaurant in Albuquerque

I have been wanting to give this resturant a try for awhile. A co-work and myself stopped in after work for dinner. Got in around 4:45 before the rush. We ordered up paper chicken, egg drop and wanton soup to start. Soup was as expected but the paper chicken was delicious and probably the best I have had. My buddy ordered the Sizzling Beef and I got the Dragon Phoenix. Both came out right after we finished the appetizers. We both shared a bit of each. Both worth eating again but next time I am in I want to see what other gems they have to serve up. We left with plenty of food to take home and full stomachs. The service was great and the waitress was polite. As far as atmosphere it's exactly what you would expect for a Mom and Pops resturant. My only real complaint is the parking. I drive a full size truck and basically take up two spaces to not stick out into traffic. Though that falls on the city and property owners. Will certainly be back in the future. Since I am writing this I will say the taste is pretty authentic Chinese with what I tried. If you are looking for super saucy food you need to find a chain restaurant that cooks like Jaime Oliver. They also offer different spice levels so if you want the food "hot" you need to ask for it to be prepared that way. Hope this helps anyone that's on the fence. I enjoyed my visit and hope...

Yummi House is a Chinese food restaurant located in the Princess Jeane Shopping Center off Eubank. They offer carry out and dine in.

They have 20 lunch specials, all of which are either $9 or $10. They come with the entree; egg drop soup or hot and sour soup, or wonton soup for $.50 extra; a chicken skewer; a cheese puff; and a choice of steamed rice or fried rice.

The entrees I was craving weren’t on the lunch special list. Instead, I got the orange peel chicken to go for $12.50. I additionally got a Sprite, for a total of $15 including tax (excluding tip).

The orange peel chicken was listed as spicy on the menu, but the dish didn’t have any heat whatsoever. The flavor was good, but I would have preferred more sauce to be included in the chicken to eat with the rice. The “fried rice” didn’t contain any ingredients; I found one tiny piece of egg in the rice and it was slightly darker than steamed rice would have been, so technically maybe it was fried rice? Either steamed or “fried” rice is included in the entree, so I didn’t pay more for the fried rice, but I wasn’t impressed by it or the lack of ingredients.

The lunch was ready very quickly, which is a positive for the business lunch crowd. It wasn’t memorable in any way, and I likely wouldn’t return knowing they cut corners on ingredients (like in the...

Easily my favorite Chinese place in town. The sesame chicken, orange peel beef, and house fried rice are my go to dishes, and I have more than enough for leftovers.

The sesame chicken isn't like the normal super sweet dish that is often served in Chinese restaurants, but rather focuses on the savory, umami sesame oil.

Some people complain about the fried rice that comes with the dish has no vegetables or egg, but it definitely has flavor added, and is not just different colored steamed rice. It's delicious!

The sweet and sour chicken or pork is also solid, if that's up your alley!

When calling in, the girl who takes the order has a heavy accent that's hard to understand, but is the sweetest person when you go pick it up, and is also a great server (I've only had her as a server when I've eaten in. Not sure if they have...
