Most of their dishes are flavorful and their meat is usually fresh, i have noticed a slight improvement of their preparation time yet their prices are a bit questionable and the appetizers are dry, bland and boring.
I ordered Vegan Ramen tonight because I'm cutting back on eating so much animal protein, just for clarity I'm not a vegan. When I got home to dig in, the condiments included a sunny side up egg. Not sure how that's vegan, it makes me wonder if the broth is also a meat broth. If you're vegan, definitely avoid this place I don't think they know the difference between vegan and vegetarian.
On top of them serving me an egg, the price of what I thought would be a vegetable based dish, was exactly the same as the specials and meat dishes. It's known that most vegetables are cheaper than meat. So how do they justify service a falsely advertised dish for the same price?
Again, their food is definitely tasty and the quality seems to vary between dishes pretty randomly but you do get the essence of authentic flavors you'd expect from ramen. Their rice dishes are skimpy and they are cheap about the meat portions they add especially for how expensive a single plate is.
I'd say if you can spare the extra bucks to have a mediocre dish, sure try them out. But there are far better places in Boston that blow them out of the water.
A note to the owner and staff. Please make sure that you update your "Vegan Ramen" option's price according to its actual value and ACTUALLY make it Vegan. You're right beside a Fomu, a well known and frequented Vegan ice cream shop so you may get worse reviews from real vegans when they find an egg in their food.

Read moreA decent option for Taiwanese and Chinese food in South End.
Lured by their UE promotions, I recently decided to give Yummee a try, despite being initially hesitant due to its lower ratings and reports of long preparation times. As mentioned by other people, food prep took about an hour, and our delivery took over two hours. Food arrived somewhat cold, but the food itself was better than we expected.
Some of the standouts were the Taiwanese Braised Minced Pork Rice and the Crispy Fried Chicken. I especially liked the kick of acidity from the rice bowl topping, which managed to capture the essence of Taiwanese cuisine quite well. On the other hand, the Braised Pork Belly was disappointingly dry, and the Mega Ramen, while ambitiously topped, suffered from a lackluster broth.
While Yummee may not top the charts in its category, the food somewhat defied its modest ratings. Just a tip: order well in advance for a smoother pick-up or...
Read moreI ordered pickup via their website. When I got there they said I had the "wrong order number" despite it being the number that the website itself had given me. They had a shelf behind the counter with ready pickup orders on it. I ordered my food at 10:50. After waiting for 25 minutes I asked what was taking so long, then he walked over the shelf and gave me order which had apparently been there the whole time despite him claiming it wasn't ready. The food was mediocre, I ordered kara-age chicken and steamed pork dumplings. The chicken was ok but the dumplings felt like eating flavored cardboard that had been cooked from frozen. It wasn't necessarily bad but I wouldn't go back. Made me...
