Really great experience. Good substitute for the queen (iykyk), cheaper and just as tasty; they just have fewer options. Shanghai noodles had an unorthodox combination of shrimp and chicken, but still delicious. That and BBQ pork fried rice had terrific wok hay. Chili chicken way too saucy, but they offer a dry version. Teriyaki chicken was fresh tasting, but also really saucy. Dumplings are quite large, so with a loose filling, it was a little difficult to eat. Service is extremely friendly and inviting. Looking forward to going back!
Been over 15 years since I ate here. The “popcorn chicken” is NOT what it used to be… back in the day it was actual chicken bits. Today, I sadly received and threw out what was supposed to be popcorn chicken… ended up being deep fried batter. Very disappointed. Wasted $4 as it went straight to the garbage. There was a review, posted a year ago from today, experiencing the same issue.. ‘deep fried dough- no chicken’
Best Asian food in the neighborhood. Wonderful friendly takeout place with incredible Chinese food that's delicious, authentic and great value. I have seen the reviews before and I should have tried it much sooner. I order the mixed seafood noodle and my partner got the chili chicken on rice. Both are phenomenal, huge portion and good price. I am going back ASAP for sure!!!
We have just moved into the local area & were pleasantly surprised to find this amazing Chinese. The food is fantastic! So much in fact we have now had food from here 4 times the last few weeks! Haha 😅 highly recommend the popcorn chicken (that will have you going back time and time again) & the sweet & sour chicken was also great!
We were delighted to find that this place lived up to the reviews. Delicious, authentic, home-cooked food and pleasant, friendly service. Great value too. In my opinion, this was the best Chinese food I have ever had, and my partner felt the same. We ordered the Chili Chicken on rice, veggie spring rolls, popcorn chicken, and dumplings. With just two of us this was enough to feed us two dinners, easily, and the reheated leftovers were just as delicious. We’ll be back to try more menu items. Thrilled we will be adding Yummy House to the dinner rotation!
We have been buying bubble tea from Yummy House for many years and they are always so friendly. But it was our first time ordering catered Chinese food from them. Tom and Susan were accommodating by helping us with suggestions for the menu and especially for cooking on their day off. Our family and friends enjoyed the fresh, tasty and generous portioned foods. I noticed that they even make frozen dim sum and their own chili sauce. Try it, it’s yummy! Thank you again!
November 6, 2023 update: I had to come back and update my review of Yummy House. It's still a 5 stars, everything continues to be amazing but I just had their chicken balls and I can't believe I'm raving about chicken balls! You'd think chicken balls would be a boring standard fare, right? NOPE, so wrong! Yummy House makes their own chicken balls, fresh, with actual pieces of chicken breast and their own batter. This was the first time ever that I've had chicken balls that I enjoyed! The batter was crunchy but soft, not too thick and you can taste and see the chicken chunks. Sweet and sour sauce, of course, is divine. You can get it as a meal or as an appetizer on the side (which I did. I ate the whole thing while walking and scrolling). Soooo good, another must try if you're in the area! Thank you Yummy House for all the good food! Oh my gosh, can I say enough good things about Yummy House? This place is a must visit if you want a classic Cantonese Chinese dish like fried egg noodles (the yellow kind) or fried rice noodles (the flat white kind) or a rice dish with all the delicious fixings. Featured here are their signature Beef Fried Noodles and their Cantonese Fried Noodles. The portions are generous, the food is well flavoured but I appreciate that it's not too salty - perfect for my taste buds. Can I tell you their secret though? You HAVE to try their Popcorn Chicken. The small is $3.50 and you get a generous portion and you get so much more for your dollar than if you spent that on a bag of chips/fries. You have to get it in the larger size featured here for $7. So satisfying - crunchy, not oily at all, savoury with a hint of 5 spice powder. My favourite are the little crunchy bits at the bottom of the box. Chase that all down with a classic bubble tea and you are good to go. Their bubble tea prices are also reasonable ($3.50 for a small, $5 for a large) and comes in a variety of flavours. They also have smoothies as well. If you see frozen dim sum in their fridge, pick them up! Tom makes these fresh and freezes them. Each pack is $10 and so much more affordable to steam them at home. They are delicious (try their shrimp dumplings, pork shiu mai, and more!). Tom and Susan have been running this place since 2003 and they are the gems of the neighbourhood. The local high school students are regular patrons and somehow Susan manages to know their 'usual' orders! They are such lovely easy going people. Yummy House is ideal for takeout so grab some delicious food and enjoy to your heart's content! Man, I want popcorn chicken right now! :)
I was thrilled to see that they have reopened! They have been there since about 20 years ago!! I used to live up the street and went to high school across the street so they were definitely the go-to spot for quick eats! I'm sad that they no longer sell the same food that I was looking forward to (fries supreme, chicken burger, etc) but I'm so happy for them to be back! They now sell Chinese food but they still live up to their name of being "Yummy"! You can totally taste the "wok hei" in the food. I also picked up some of their homemade frozen dim sum. I don't go downtown often at all but when I'm in the area, I will ALWAYS make a trip to Yummy House for some food and to say hi to Susan and Tom. They are the most genuine people ever and they always make you feel so welcomed!
Love this place have been eating here for years. Prices are great and the food is awesome!
Been coming here since high school. Run by a lovely family and the food is great! A must try!

Super friendly staff offering me many things like forks, napkins, extra containers. Extremely delicious chicken fried rice with lots of chicken. This will be my new go to.
tried the mapo tofu today - very delicious! I will definitely go back to try more things. Very friendly service and nice vibe all around.
Excellent food, good prices and great portions to match. So happy this place reopened! Family owned and authentic. Staple of the neighborhood for anyone whos hungry and got five bucks. Would pay any price to see the poutine make a comeback
Once a week Food is always good Food
Love this placeand the owners! Been going here for over 20 years since I went to Riverdale. Glad they reopened after covid. Best bubble tea and popcorn chicken! Definitely miss the supreme fries and chicken burgers though!!!
Got the daily special (great price!) and frozen dim sum! Soooo good. Best chili sauce I ve had! Definitely will go back for more.
Phenomenal food and extremely friendly service.
If you feel like to eat Chinese food,this is the place you want to go. Yummy house makes very fresh, quick and tasty food in a very good price. I love their homemade chilli sauce. Susan and Tom are very friendly
Delicious food cooked fresh to order. Very friendly owners.
Great food and even better people, support this local business and you will not be disappointed
Wow. Food is excellent! Had the chili chicken and it was perfect!
The chilli chicken is superb. The shanghai noodles and the Cantonese noodles are both very delicious. The chilli sauce is also very yummy. The service is kind and friendly. Food is super fresh and well cooked, ready in a very short time.
Just picked up the daily special chilli chicken from this place today. Service was FAST and friendly, portion was big, price on point, and the food was indeed yummy. I ll be back to this place for more of their specials. Hidden gem in the east end for sure.
The food is always tasty and the owners are very friendly. My family and I are thrilled to have them back in the neighborhood.
Yall gotta get the general tao and sweet + sour chicken.... Sounds basic, but its different here. The owners are super friendly, the service is fast, its easy to become a regular when everything is so yummy here!
Amazing food, very authentic Chinese, fast and friendly service. Highly recommend!
Amazing food. Best wonton soup i have ever had from this place. I would definitely go again.
Good fast food for cheap. Bit greasy, very tasty, worth the price! The staff are very nice and friendly, the time it takes to serve you is mind-blowingly fast. Great place for quick bites or orders.
IT IS BACK!!! Best bang for the buck; Ive always eaten here during lunch and after school. Its a vibe with friends, and the owners are especially lovely.
Would always come here for their student special before, very cheap and filling.
The go to spot for lunch at Riverdale back in the day. So glad they are back bringing much nostalgia. I got their chicken popcorn and its tasty as always. Hope they bring back the fries supreme cause they made it the best
Great spot for delicious takeaway. I got the hot and sour soup, house special fried rice, and beef Ho Fun noodles. Loved each dish! The homemade chili oil was a nice touch.
Yummy House is exactly as the name suggests... Everything is really yummy! The owners are so kind and warm. They treat their customers like family and give great recommendations when you are unsure of what to order. Everything is homemade and they even sell frozen dimsum to take home (the siu mai is so juicy and delicious). Amazing spot!!
One of my favourite local restaurants! Amazing lunch food, bubble tea and frozen dim sum to take home. The owners are so lovely and I couldn t recommend this spot more. Their homemade chilli oil is a must!
So Yum! Always fresh! My friend recommended this place to me as I m staying by my boyfriends near by and I don t regret it! They re super friendly.They work hard and most of all they re very welcoming. I hope they get back on their feet and grow since they been closed a very long time. I would be going back again , again and again!
Classic family run Chinese takeout place.
Fastest wok in town
A super friendly mom and pop Chinese restaurant! They make everything from scratch. Good portions and prices. They also have super delicious homemade frozen dim sum. They even have cheap lunch specials during the week for the high school students. Will definitely return to try different things on their menu!!
Went there today after them being closed for a while. Incredibly happy they have reopened as they are a staple in the Leslieville area. That being said, I ordered their Saturday daily special, General Tsos chicken on steamed rice ($12)- absolutely mind-blowing. I strongly suggest you order this if youre apprehensive about trying this spot. I also ordered a side of their popcorn chicken ($3.50). 10/10 will be there again.
Great drinks and food!
Such kind folks here. Chilli chicken is my fav. And everything on the menu is top notch.
Very delicious food at a very good price! The owners are so warm and inviting and kind. Highly recommend.
Honestly, this place is great. I tried the fried rice, some noodles, and this chili chicken. I was very impressed. For someone who eats a lot of Chinese food, they are excellent. Great value and price point. Yummy indeed. I told them I am going to try everything on the menu. Ill maybe end up trying 70% of it
Great people, service and food. Got to try the popcorn chicken, dim sum, bubble tea and in that order too
Yummy House is a lovely little family-owned restaurant right across from my old high school, Riverdale Collegiate Institute. They have delicious, cheap meals, featuring both delectable Chinese dishes and Canadian favourites. My fave go-to is their poutine; I became such a regular that I would walk in and the lovely owner (I think the father of the family) would simply start making a poutine and start packaging it up for me before I even said word. The prices are super student-friendly, with the poutine just being $5 CAD flat! The family is also super sweet. There is very limited seating however, as it usually a take-out only place. Highly recommend stopping here for a quick bite! Vegetarian options: They have some vegetarian options or can adjust their dishes to suit a vegetarian diet. Kid-friendliness: This is a great place for kids to grab a quick bite, whether they re craving Chinese or Canadian dishes, or both!
Love Yummy House so much! A staple since I was a kid. Friendly and family owned, really a great place!
Fast friendly service and good food.
Great food and most importantly CLEAN!!!!
There was no chicken flavor at all, just fried dough balls, disappointing!
I order food on the phone and the lady was very sweet. Food was delicious.
Super tasty, great value, nice people running a mom and pop, whats not to like? A very appropriately named business.
Lovely owners and great food. Stumbled upon this gem recently and can t get over their popcorn chicken. So so good! We also had a bubble tea and chilli beef on steamed rice. Can t wait to make our way through the menu
Always fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced!
Some of the best Asian food youll find in leslieville, a quiet spot thats a hidden gem. Come check out their beef ho fun, cannot go wrong! Very friendly owners as well!
Food and the prices are great. And the people working there are so nice and give off positive vibes.
This place deserves its great rating (a 4.8 at time of writing). The food was delicious and fresh, and service very warm and friendly. Was on my bike and they were about to bring it (and the payment method) out to me on the curb as I locked up. The kids loved the popcorn chicken so it was win win all around. Looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow.
Great Cantonese style Chinese food in the Pocket area. The owners were super nice, food is delicious, great prices. Glad we have a go to Chinese around Gerrard/Jones!
I have not been to Yummy house in a long, long time due to it shutting down. So imagine my surprise to see it had reopened. I rushed over as soon as I could to fill up on some delicious food. I am now completely stuffed, with tons of leftovers to spare. I can only hope they consider bringing back the amazing poutine the used to have, that is now absent from the menu
Great little takeout spot with daily specials. I recommend getting a jar of their delicious homemade chili oil - I put it on almost everything now!
Been coming here for over 10 years they just got a fresh new renovation done so its nice and welcoming, very clean I may add. Love the bubble tea. Hands down my favorite spot for cheep Chinese food, happy its reopened go check em out on point every time.
Little takeout hole in the wall..Place is awesome! Butter Chicken poutine is BOMB I havent tried the chinese food but it looks good! Tom is super friendly and his prices are great. Check em out!
The Chinese food , poutines, beef burgers, coffee , pop and tea was cheap, and tasty , food was delicious .
It s a hole in the wall but the food is awesome and so are the prices
Great food! Amazing service!
Always a good deal and tastes great. Nice large portions. Would recommend to anyone who is craving stirfry treats
Awesome cheap and good food
Been going here for years and its always been just as good!
The food here is soooo yummy and they give huge amounts aswell the prices are really good for the quality and amount you get! I truly have never been disappointed. Plus its even better because the man and woman who own this restaurant really are great people! I have been going here for over 10 years they go above and beyond with there customers they always remember my son and I and talk to us like friends not only customers they also will remember little details like asking my son about school and his friends they always remember his favorite orders and candys and make sure he feels included as well.
Great service and cheap food, lots of variety as well. You can find better food but not for this price.
Excellent food at low prices with quick service. 10/10
Love the beef patties here, they got alot of variety from Chinese Food to bubble tea to burgers.
Weird stench surrounded place when son walked in threw back room.
Yummy House is a Toronto gem! Quick and great service, great prices, and delicious bubble tea and food. Especially the poutine.
Wow stumble upon this place as was very hungry. Super good and price amazing.
Quick, very friend service!! Price is phemominal for portion. Owners are very polite and helpful. 100% recommend the famous chicken burger and popcorn chicken.
Great little shop. Has an assortment of drinks, candy, bubble tea, patties. On their menu they have chicken burgers, fries, nuggets etc. My boyfriend and I tried the Shanghai noodles with vegetables, BBQ pork and shrimp. Excellent taste and a fair portion size. Comes with fortune cookies! Grabbed a cool can of Arizona for $1.50 as well. Quick service and kind people. Definitely recommend.
Friendly owners, DELICIOUS food, clean, fast, affordable. Check it out. The chicken sandwich and popcorn chicken are great!
Their noodle dishes are all amazing. Good prices for big portions. Owners are great and always know my order even though I dont go very often
I go there just for the poutine although the other food is just as good. Nice service and cheap prices.
This place is the bomb
Poutine was pretty good
blown away at the holy trifecta being met here >good >cheap >big portion >super friendly >fresh
Ahhhhmazing little snack shop thats been around for a very long time and Ive prob been coming here for a decade now! Love this place. They have a variety of affordable snacks like chicken burgers, supreme fries and deluxe beef patties just to name a few. I always tend to over order cause theres so much variety you could from. Since I dont live in the area anymore i just get everything. Dont forget the bubble tea though to finish it off. Its quick and efficient just try and avoid lunch hours if you can since its right across a high school and gets quite busy during those times. Othert than that if I ever am in east york area I always make an effort to swing by here. Highly recommended !
thay have relly good food ther my favourite is the popcorn chicken and fries
FOOD TASTE LIKE IT WAS MADE IN HEAVEN!!!
Best chicken burger ever! Bbq pork is great too! The owners are also very friendly
Has been amazing for years. I used to eat here every day in highschool, great to see it around and still great !
Great food, great people, money well spent. Very clean and well run building as well given its size and how big there menu is. I applauded places like this in our city. Without them we would all be stuck eating pizza.
This tiny little place serves up great food at a great price. My son loves the stir fried noodles so much, we order them at least once a week. The owners are friendly and always remember us and the food never disappoints.
Good place. They provide vegetarian option also i eat shanghai noodles with without meat and they make it really good. I also liked bubble tea here. A good place for takeouts. Strongly recommend.
Great Chinese-Canadian soul food done super fast. Tom and Susan are quick to customize your food how you want it. Milktea is powdered, but tastes great and at a decent price.
Poutine and chicken burger together. To die for..
best food ever! the cook makes good food! i recommend yummy house if your hungry
Nice people, great food, great prices. Their fries are bomb and their Chinese food menu has a lot of choices
The store Yummy House was the best store I have ever gone to that sells bubble tea that tastes really good people who sees this I really recommend you to go there.
