Yummy Yummy Dumplings

Awesome dumplings, I got the veggie dumplings.
The waitress could barely communicate in English, so I ended up speaking Mandarin to her.
I’ll go back.

not the greatest.
only came here because it’s «dumpling day» tradition, and dumpling house on spadina closed (since it was tuesday). not impressed about the quality and the service.

The food here is really good and feels really homely. On top of that, the waitress was extremely friendly.

³⁄₅ — inability to deliver
So — is the food still good? Yup. But — their delivery service is mind boggling bad. A few times I added a soda (or two) to the order, and they never included it. The third time when getting delivery I asked if the soda was there. The man simply said «oops» and gave me a dollar back as if doing me a favor.
The latest was absurd — with an estimated arrival time one hour after the order, I called 40 minuets after (100 minutes after order). After simply stating «I ordered and have not…» (and before I could finish my sentence), the man quickly answered «it will be there in six minutes.» After questioning how he could know it was 1) exactly 6 minutes and 2) not even know who I was, I was informed that there was only one driver and he was definitely just six minutes away.
Of course the ordered actually arrived another 20 minutes later — 2 hours after ordering, an hour late.
Sigh.

The dumplings were good and cheap but not amazing. Also it took them awhile to make them, but that might because they do them by hand.
The pan fried dumplings didn’t have that crispy skin like the other places I’ve been too, so that was a bit disappointing. Not much comment on service, I did take out, but I did have to ask for chopsticks but they gave all the sauces without asking.

I came here for dumplings cos Dumpling House Restaurant (my favourite dumpling spot in the city) is closed :(
Appearances don’t really bother me, but I was disappointed to find out that all of the pan-​fried shrimp dumplings contain pork .
I got chicken dumplings, which were «ok», & the portion was petite, I think I’ll stick with Dumpling House Restaurant (where u can mix ur order, n there’s not pork in everything)

You wouldn’t believe the price for food this good!
Dumplings are very well-​made (reminds me of those my grandma homemade back in China), and worth the word «yummy».
Buns are another recommendation of mine.

A family trip brought us to Canada. After a tried day we ordered food from this restaurant. We ordered:
1– pork dumplings
100% handmade. The meat inside is not dry at all. The veggie inside is freshly green and tasted really good.
2-​North Eastern Salad
Good size and folly worth that price. The cucumber is really fresh and u can tell by your eyes. They are carefully separated the sauce (well packed) for u.
3– Cucumber & Pig Ears
Pig ears is well marinated and well cooked. With that light spicy sauce. wow!
4– Beef Stuffed Pan Cakes (4 pieces)
So fresh and yummy. The sauce comes out after few bites.
For the bonus they packed a coke for us.
The deliver man is really nice and polite and food has been delivered with a short time. We’re really satisfied with this place. That makes me give 5 stars for this place.
Many thanks.

Yummy yummy dumplings indeed!!! The dumplings were definitely the highlight of our meal here.
Had the pan-​fried shrimp, pork and chives dumplings, as well as the steamed mutton and carrot dumplings. Both were amazingly delicious. The pan-​fried ones were open dumplings (the ends weren’t stuck together), and I liked how there was a whole shrimp in each dumpling. The steamed ones were juicy and soupy. Flavours were just right, esp when dipped in a mixture of soya sauce and chili oil!
Also tried the hot and spicy soup, and the beef pancake roll. Wouldn’t recommend either of these — the soup was too watery, and the pancake was too thick.
All of that food came out to just $ 30 for two people. Stick with the dumplings here and your belly will be happy! On top of that, the service here is great (so friendly), and although Unilocal says they close at 10pm, we arrived at 9:45pm and were still welcomed into the restaurant for some great food. We stayed until past 10:30pm and were never rushed.

Good dumpling. Bought frozen dumpling here a few time. The price is reasonable and the filling is well seasoned with right ratio of meat/​vegetable. The dumpling tastes better than another dumpling place near my house. This little family owned joint is nested at the corner of Dundas/​Huron. It can be easily missed since it’s located in a basement and the store front is not very visible to the patrons. However, it may not look the part but the flavour certainly make up for it. Onion pan cake is just average as it doesn’t have enough spring onion that I desire. Noodle item tastes ok, not bad but not particularly good. But it is a dumpling place and it certainly does well on its main products. Service is friendly overall as it is family owned. 3.5÷5 for overall experience.

Tucked away into the basement, this place is easy to walk by (which I did).
Ordered pork and chive steamed dumplings and their classic buns for take out.
Sat there for a really long time waiting (almost thirty minutes) and I was actually the only person in the restaurant! They had calls constantly for delivery so I assuming those pushed ahead of my order.
Pretty standard dumplings, nothing to write home about. Price is good, will try dining in next time and see if that makes a difference.

To all the mistresses on Unilocal: everyone says he’ll never ditch his wife for you, and that’s almost definitely true. But if you wait long enough for their relationship to wither on its own, well!!! That’s what happened here, except I’m the cheater and Yummy Yummy Dumplings is Camilla Parker Bowles.
The dumplings here are even fresher than I remembered (you can watch the friendly dumplingiolos make them on the spot and deliver them to you piping hot) and they are the PERFECT size and temperature. Lots of filling, a little soupy inside, the right amount of skin. There are tons of veggie options besides the common «egg and chive».
YYD, you are my new favourite Chinatown eatery and I look forward to our long, fruitful, and mostly faithful marriage.

My partner in crime and I have been ardently loyal Dumpling King fans for the past two years, though we’ve noticed a slight but noticeable drop in quality, both concerning service and the dumplings themselves (the TV is always tuned to OMNI1, often on a Bollywood or Melissa DiMarco interview, with full control given to the sometimes smile-​free staff; and the dumpling wrappers have gotten quite thick and floury — I’m still trying to find a correlation between the two).
Today, following a Tuina massage, we turned the corner and popped into family-​run Yummy Yummy. We left fully converted! Here are some noticeable differences:
1) The food is delivered incredibly fast (may depend on how busy they are) and at precisely a temperature that you can confidently pop a full dumpling in your mouth and let the flavour burst outward. Frankly, it is a wonderful experience that Maynard’s Fruit Gushers only wishes they could replicate.
2) Speaking of flavour, the dumplings were phenomenal in this respect — we had the Shrimp & Chive, the Squid & Chive (both boiled), and the Melon & Tofu (steamed). Each was distinct and tasty. The squid was in no way too chewy, there was copious shrimp, and the chives were not overwhelmingly stringy — overall, these dumplings were scrumptious. We preferred the boiled for taking single bites (the internal soup makes the explosion extra-​invigorating) while the steamed is better for taking in multiple bites. Use this information as you please!
In the past, we have also ordered the pan fried chive pockets, which were tasty. Obviously these are a little more filling and fried than the dumplings, so if you’re looking for something more doughy, these are a good bet.
3) The prices are comparable to the other neighbourhood dumpling joints. However, you can leave with a couple bags of frozen dumplings if you want to try and recreate the Yummy Yummy experience at home. They vary around 33 to 50 cents per dumpling.
4) The last time we were here, the TV was also tuned to OMNI — I suppose it is the Chinatown dumpling-​channel of choice. Today the TV was off entirely, which I think is a step in the right direction.

Dumplings is something I don’t usually go out for since it can be easily made at home… BUT, I decided to try this place out with a friend yesterday because of the many AMAZING reviews by these Unilocalers. Verdict? The food does make you say ‘yummy’ twice just like their name, haha.
We ordered the Green Onion Pancake, Pan Fried Shrimp, Chives & Pork Dumpling and the Xiao Long Bao. I was kind of disappointed with the Green Onion Pancake because it wasn’t as flavourful as I thought it would be. I felt like I was snacking on a piece of moist cardboard… I’d have to say it lacked a bit of salt, but I revived it with a bit of vinegar and chilly sauce. You gotta make the best out of everything right? Oh one more thing to keep in mind, these pancakes are drenched in oil. I had to pat it down with a napkin. (Not sure if it’s usually like this here but the amount of oil in these bad boys are a bit too much compared to other places I’ve had it at).
The Pan Fried Dumpling was pan fried to perfection. Not too fried but crispy enough for your taste buds and did I mention how tender and juicy the filling was?! Also, you can see that they use a generous amount of shrimp; they are not minced up so you can actually see the whole piece of shrimp. Lastly, the Xiao Long Bao was steamed just right! Soft on the outside and tender on the inside, nom nom nom.
Overall, the prices are fair. An order of the pan fried dumplings comes with 10 for around $ 5.99 — $ 7.99 (depending on what you order). My friend and I paid $ 10 each for the 3 dishes. From a quick browse of their menu, nothing appears to be over $ 10!
If it satisfies my taste buds, fills my belly for $ 10… then I am a happy customer! I shall return for the other items on their menu. (:

I’m traveling in Toronto for a business trip and got lazy tonight and decided to place an order for delivery to my hotel. I hadn’t had dumplings yet, so I went on a search for restaurants that serve dumplings AND deliver, and came across Yummy Yummy Dumplings. It had great reviews on Unilocal to boot!
I ordered online — at first I tried to just order dumplings and noodles, and found that there was a $ 25 minimum for delivery orders, and I only had like $ 11 so far. This place is too cheap! So I went through the menu again, and this ended up being my order:
Shrimp, Chive, and Pork Dumplings (Potstickers)
Zha Jiang Noodles
Shredded Potato Salad Appetizer
Chive, Mushroom, and Vermicelli Steamed Dumplings
Green Onion Pancakes
ALL of the above came to a total of $ 25.46. Then a $ 3 delivery charge was added, $ 3.31 of tax, and $ 4.76 tip for a total of $ 36.53. It would be delivered in about 50 minutes.
Around 50 minutes later, I received a call asking to confirm my address, and then 10 minutes later I got a call from the hotel lobby asking if it was ok to send «Yummy Yummy» to my door. YES PLEASE!
The delivery guy showed up, and for some reason, his bill said $ 37.54…I didn’t bother fighting it, and gave him $ 40, and got $ 2.40 back in change. Then I dug in! The potstickers and dumplings were AMAZING. Just like how my mom makes it… actually maybe even better (sorry mom). I was then pretty full, and still had 3 more dishes to go. The Zha Jiang Noodles was really not very good — too salty, and it just didn’t have the right flavors that I’m used to back home in the Bay Area. I ate a few bites of the noodles with cucumbers, trying to avoid the sauce, and gave up. I wanted to go out and give it to a homeless person but I doubt anyone would want noodles…:\ The potato salad was great, had a spicy kick to it. And the green onion pancakes were good as well.
Bottom Line:
I got a ton of food for a great price, delivered. The dumplings and appetizers are good, but stay away from the Zha Jiang Noodles.

Delish! 11 items for a total of $ 83 including tax. I would really recommend:
— Shrimp chive dumplings $ 7: got eaten the fastest
— Glass noodles $ 7: huge portion with some beef and cabbage. Likely cured on of my friend’s hangovers. Very tasty
— Pork cabbage dumplings $ 7: another favorite
— Mutton pickled cabbage dumpling $ 8: well seasoned and tasty
— Spicy soup $ 8: great soup base with lots of fun toppings like tofu skin, lotus root, ham, spicy mustard, ect
I also liked the chive pockets $ 6.50, there were 4 in the order. It was super with just a bit of shoyu on the outside. Perhaps skip their red bean buns $ 7 for 4 large ones. The inside was a bit dry and there was a too much bun for my taste. The beef noodle soup would be great on a cold day, but didn’t have a ton of flavor to the broth.
Honestly, I would stop by here if you are in the mood for some pretty amazing dumplings. They certainly know what they are doing. You will not be sad that you tried eating there!
Hint: go with a smaller group. We had 8, which was overload-​city for them.

This place has the best dumplings in downtown Toronto. I love the pork and chives dumplings where boiled or fried, green onion pancake and beef rolls.
Way better than Mother’s Dumplings or Dumpling House. It might be a small restaurant but it’s clean, good value for money and with friendly service and good food! Don’t forget to bring cash.

Frankly if it wasn’t for Unilocal reviews I would have never thought to step into this restaurant. From outside it looks like a tiny hole in the wall and inside there are 5 or 6 table only.
However, the food was fresh and delicious, very authentic and very very reasonably priced.
I’m definitely coming back again to sample more food.

Has anyone ever told you this place is yummy? No? Well, let me be the first one…
Yummy Yummy Dumplings is a lovely, clean-​tasting cheap Chinese option with an adorable name. Seriously, say it out loud and try to keep a straight face. If you did that successfully, I’m sorry to be the first to tell you: You’re a robot. Shitty.
Things that aren’t shitty? Their delightful dumplings. I really enjoyed my pork and chive dumplings and my pork bun, as well as their hot and sour soup and beef noodle soupy dish (I’m so bad with names:/).
Their menu is extensive and not the norm in Chinatown, and if you heart dumplings and hate MSG you will surely be a fan.

They certainly were yummy!
We tried the northern salad (think that’s what it’s called?), beef pancakes and four different types of dumplings.
I really enjoyed the selection here. A lot of unique options that you just can’t find at Mothers or Dumpling house. They wrap each dumpling a little differently so everything looks especially homemade.
My fav dishes were the northern salad and the shrimp & pork fried dumplings.
Staff was friendly. The place is in a somewhat hidden location which is great — no need to wait in line! Cosy booth type tables fit four.
Ridiculously cheap. 4 gorged on 6 dishes which cost $ 13 each included tax and tip.
