We were told that the special “protein platter” was enough for 5 people. It was actually enough for 8-10. They never mentioned the price, which was over 300.00. We were all upset about this.

Today was my birthday and my wife asked me where I wanted to dine out with our two kids. I mentioned a few options, and asked for her thoughts. She mentioned having gong to Yummy Yummy with some of her girl friends recently. I agreed and we headed out there.We arrive about 6:45pm and most Bell Blvd, 48th Ave or adjacent streets surrounding the restaurant are paid metered parking till 7pm Mon thru Sat, and Free Sundays. On the side roads if you walk further you'll notice where the paid metered parking ends there is free public parking. My wife called ahead and made reservations for my birthday for 7pm. In conversation they reserved us half a Hainanese Chicken. That was a good idea because the place was packed at 85% full when we arrived. This evening was cold and a col breeze would rush in when the front door was opened.This restaurant has its own style. It's clean, well lit, ceiling fans in the front half with wood planks hanging vertically evenly space like steps getting lower toward the front of the restaurant. The planks are burnt with texture and they seemed to absorb sound making the restaurant atmosphere less noisy with so many patrons talking - it was comfortable and you could hold a conversation. The tables and chairs were sturdy, clean, and did not rock or creak.The wait staff were courteous and attentive. If you speak Cantonese you'll enjoy your dining experience because my wife conversed with our waitress asking about dishes before we ordered.We ordered the following dishes and am listing them in the order they were served.Roti Pancake - we ordered two which was served with a small bowl of curry chicken with chucks of potato.Cumin Pork Knuckles - served in a plastic basket they were crispy and mouthwatering savory.Fried Beef Chow Fun - my son immediately mentioned the dish had Wok Hei, the beef and noodle was savory.Steak with Back Truffle and Mushrooms - The beef was tender , with thick slices of mushroom and potato, and the truffle infused sauce was delicious.Hainanese Chicken - there was a slight wait on this dish. The check was tender and moist, it was served on a bed of thin sliced cucumber. A sauce tray with four sauces accompanied the chicken adding to the flavor of this dish.* I'd recommend any of the dishes we ordered, but my top favorites were the Chow Fun and Steak.Normally I'd have provide pictures of all our dishes, but the food did not disappoint so I was only able to ask at the last moment my daughter to snap a quick picture of the Hainenese Chicken which I'm still waiting on her to forward to me for this review.Payment - We were told they didn't take Discover, and listed MasterCard or Visa, and cash is king.I gave Yummy Yummy 5 Stars based on the food, service, and atmosphere. There are more and more quality Asian restaurants beyond Manhattan/Chinatown, , Brooklyn/Chinatown, and Flushing/Chinatown. I'd rate it $$, but I'd keep in mind that prices have been rising. *One unofficial litmus test I'd point out is that if an Asian restaurant is patronized by a high number of Asian regularly there is a high chance the food is good.
Very nice restaurant. Great selection of mixed drinks. Food was good as well. Went on a sunday so it was very relaxed and chill. I understand that on Fridays and Saturdays, they have a live DJ.

Interesting fusion food, decent service and a good atmosphere.
The severs were literally like hawks while we were still working on our plates, asking multiple times, back to back if we were done, after repeatedly saying no, one even came out with a takeout box! We still had a half pitcher of sangria and they came out after offered us desert and literally didn't bother for the rest of the night- it was the most bizarre experience. I will not return-I had an amazing experience at the garden city location and was hoping for more of the same at bayside- what a disappointment!
Delicious ? love the waitresses! Very nice, friendly, and professional.

The food was great but our server looked very bothered to have to wait on us. No bread or salsa and chips when we sat down. She took one appetizer order and did not take drink orders. We had to call her back to get drinks. We were there for 15 minutes before being asked about drinks. When asking for guacamole, they didn't ask how we wanted it. I have come alot to the Cuban and it's always been a great experience. Great staff (except today). Another waitress got us refills on drinks. I will be back, but if this girl is my waitress, I will walk out. The food and ambiance is always great. I will not let one horrible waitress who probably judged us right off the bat, ruin a fine restaurant.

I warn you the food was quite expensive (~$25-$30 per dish) but you are getting your money's worth. The Hainan chicken and seafood dishes are fresh and very tasty. Would definitely come again!
