What People Are Saying About Yum Yum Cha Cafe

In Short – Save the drive into Chinatown for this cozy Village spot run by an experienced father daughter team. Expect a relaxed dining experience and authentic, all day dim sum. The menu features photos of the varied dim sum offerings (more than 60 items), including dumplings, buns and more. All items are made fresh when ordered (preventing the need for noisy dim sum carts) and the menu includes small, medium and large size items. – –

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

I have to disagree with some of the negative comments on here. I've tried dim sum at various places around town but Yum Yum Cha is definitely a family favorite and we've been going here for years. We've never experienced bad or rude service and we are Asian so I find it completely ignorant that someone would insinuate that race would be a reason for rudeness.
The staff is small but they go out of their way. The food is really delicious and consistently so.
Our favorites include: Shrimp and Chive cake, Shrimp stuffed eggplant and Chrysanthemum tea!
- Pros: Everything!
- Cons: A little small...

Worst experience in worldwide dining
by Ontarget at Citysearch
I hosted a family meal on Sunday afternoon, 3/29/2009 at this quaint establishment. One of our orders was for the pork and peanut dumplings, a highly regarded item per numerous reviews. My daughter ate her's then alerted me to a maggot (yes, a fly's immature larva) that was on her plate.
I notified the front of the house staff, received a week excuse that this was instead a caterpillar (this was better?), but my years in law enforcement qualifies me to know the difference. We were given the opportunity to leave without a check.
I notified the City and a quick inspection this morning, 3/30, turned up minor violations, which could be expected due to horrific nature of the Sunday experience. I leave it to your imagination where offending foodstuff went before the inspector arrived.
Just a note. Our family traveled China extensively in 2007, never experiencing a problem with food handling, preparation or safety. It is sad that we discover that Houston fell flat on it's face at the heart of such a vibrant area of our community.
- Pros: Hot Tea?
- Cons: Lack of Food Safety
