Yum’s Asian Bistro

I admit that I mainly go here for standard «chinese takeout» fare. For that, I think this is about as good as it gets. The vegetables are always crisp and fresh, not cooked to death, the seasonings perfect and even greasy app dishes are just… done very well.
The interior is lovely so this makes a nice place for an affordable sit-​down dinner as well. I have always found the service to be nice and friendly.
The super-​meals are an amazing deal. basically three meals worth of food.

Sushi is comparable to Niwanna down the road, in terms of price and quality; but here you can also get some dishes like Singapore style noodles that are less easy to find around these parts. Across from Safeway and CVS so pretty convenient place to stop after or before getting some grocery shopping in for the week.

Management changed and some of the food and service went downhill, but their service has been improving recently.

Their tofu with mixed vegetables is among the best I’ve had. The tofu was skillfully cooked, with a lovely, slightly crispy texture. The sauce was flavorful but not thick and slimy like some other restaurants that go heavy on the corn starch. The vegetables seemed fresh.
The sort of chips-​and-​dip free appetizer they brought was unpleasant; the flavor and texture of the dipping sauce put me off.

Let me start off by saying that I am an incredibly picky eater; as in I really don’t like 90% of food that’s prepared and most people have no idea how I am alive with such a limited amount of foods I will voluntarily eat. With that being said, I sincerely love this place!
It’s always clean and presentable but pretty plain. When you enter the restaurant, it’s actually very upscale inside with a fancy chandelier, sushi bar, regular bar and regular eating area. The staff is friendly, recognizes their frequent customers and shows a little extra care with them. Whether you’re taking out or dining in, you’ll get the same courteous service. Very relaxed environment. It’s great for dates or just casual dining.
I haven’t eaten at the sushi bar yet, but the times I’ve been there, there is always someone sitting there and enjoying the sushi. Since I have to be in the mood for sushi, I haven’t tried it yet. The menu has a wide variety of options and there is something for everyone. I usually eat the Bangkok shrimp and crab rangoon, but have explored other options that I thoroughly enjoy. The Pad Thai noodles are delicious with a little bit of heat to them.
I don’t know how much this matters to everyone else, but the timing between appetizers and entrees is always on point. I’ve been to plenty of places where they bring out your entrée within five minutes of bringing your appetizer and it creates this feeling of rush. Portions are generous and the quality of food is very high. I try to visit here at least once a month after a long day of work when I don’t feel like cooking and am never disappointed.

On this day, honestly I was looking for somewhere to borrow the toilet facilities. Went to Subway across the street, and their TWO bathrooms were «out of service». So I left. Thank goodness because now I discovered this place!
From the outside, this place seems inviting to me. At first, I thought it was just a carryout joint, to be surprised that it was a full restaurant with bar. Inside, the décor is above average nice, however, very dimly illuminated. The staff greeted me and asked if I wanted to dine in or carryout — advised me that if I dined in, the dishes were large only. I felt this was a little strict, as I came in just wanting to eat lunch at 230pm. So I just orrdered carryout.
The lunch special was a pretty good value! I was surprised that for $ 8 – 9, you get the entrée with rice (normal portion), choice of soup or soda, and choice of eggroll or spring roll. With the soup and egg roll, the lunch was plenty filling and tasty.
I would definitely return if I was in the area.

Excellent décor inside, food expertly prepared, everything tastes delicious. Will definitely be returning!

All the 5 star reviews here make me wonder where these people have eaten before. This is very ordinary, underseasoned Chinese-​American food. The little chili pepper next to the the item on the menu is as close to spicy as I got despite me asking the waitress, ‘spicy please.’ It does cost more than other ordinary Chinese food if that appeals to you. The room is pretty although we had to ask the waitress to move us to a booth with intact upholstery. The bathroom was clean. I cannot see a reason to return here.

I really enjoy this location for Asian cuisine. Sadly they do not deliver so you either have to dine in or carry out!
Everything I have ordered from here has been extremely tasty and enjoyable! I have had the sea same chicken, general tso chicken, sushi roll, konk roll, volcano roll, and the shrimp tempura.
The chefs specials come with soup, egg roll, protein and fried or white rice. I think it is so nice they offer soup and if you do not like soup they will substitute it for a soda or something else to drink.
The staff is very friendly and make sure that you are taken care of.
When I order carry out the food is always fresh, the quote times for pick up are always on point! I wish they delivered, they would be my number one Asian place! I don’t like driving at all in the city so when I do make it out there! It is a nice treat! I highly recommend!

It’s delicious chinese and thai food. The menu doesn’t push the boundries or anything. It’s just your standard fare, but it’s very well done. The restaurant is clean and well-​decored. Booths are great for couples, and the restaurant has always been quiet when I went.
The menu is mainly chinese, though they have a few thai dishes. I haven’t tried their sushi, so I can’t comment on its quality.
We ordered the hot and sour soup, pot stickers, spring rolls, general tsos, orange chicken, and two thai dishes. All delicious and well done, though I found the spring roll to be overly peppered.

Initially i got the SMALL general Tso’s chicken that was OK and I called back without looking on the menu to add on the shrimp toast… when I went to pay for my order it was 16.95 SMH. Surprised 4 peices of shrimp toast was 6 something and a small General Tso’s 9 something. Two days later I ordered the shrimp egg foo yong and when I got home the gravy reminded me of curry chicken sauce & I called them to ask about brown gravy and they mentioned they don’t serve brown gravy. After getting into the meal it was OK. But I probably won’t order from them unless I’m desperate and have no where else to eat. The dining area seem really relaxing and quiet. Bottom line when you eat their ask a lot of questions first.

Came here on a Sunday with my girlfriend. First time at this place. Delicious food. We actually ordered a little too much. I was very surprised by how tasty the egg drop soup, wonton soup, fried dumplings and sushi were. They were yummy! A little expensive but well worth every bite. We also ordered the sesame chicken and came with fried rice. The portions were amazing. I believe this place is hands down one of the best chinese restaurants. The place looks nice too and getting your food in a decent amount of time was a plus!

The previous reviews were soooo right! I had a craving for orange chicken and I looked to Unilocal for help (lol). I didn’t see any reviews on the Orange chicken exactly however I did see a lot of good reviews for the General Taos so o decided to go with that. I got the lunch combo (spring roll, miso soup & general Taos) everything was delicious! The spring roll was crispy and not to oily like some places. The soup was a huge serving (about medium size) and the chicken itself was cooked perfectly! I will be going back for sure! Trust the reviews people and try it! Don’t waste your money anywhere this is the place to be!

Yums is my go to for sit down Chinese in Baltimore City. The first time I went I was a little concerned as it’s never really crowded. But my concern was quickly thwarted. Everything I’ve ever had has been delicious. I love that I can get Sushi and Chinese all in the same place. The portions are huge!!! Although they are a little on the expense side for Chinese it’s well worth it for the portions you receive.

Went here for lunch with my co-​worker and we were both pleasantly surprised with the décor of the place! We had great customer service and the food was even better! We ordered terriyaki chicken, general tso and maryland king crab roll. EVERYTHING was delicious and even the General Tso was a lil spicy, which I love! I will definitely be going back to eat here! Best chinese that I had in a LONG time!

I eat at Yums regularly. The food is excellent. The ingredients are always fresh and the lunch specials are a great deal. The service is typically quick and friendly. I would call it a gem in this neighborhood.

As good as it gets in Baltimore for General Tso Chicken. The service was quick, smiles were wide and the food was DELICIOUS!!!

This is an awesome place. I like the décor. The friendly staff. Fast and constant service. And the food is quite tasty. I really recommend you try this place

Great food, fresh ingredients, a combo of Thai, Chinese, and Japanese with a nice staff.
Come for the lunch specials til 3 pm. Large portions and served piping hot. Pan– fried dumplings and wonton soup are especially flavorful. The pad Thai was different than I have had in the past but served with large plump shrimp. Super fast service as well. A go to for a quick and tasty meal :)

The stars are more of a cost-​benefit rating in this case.
I LOVE the food here, but I’m usually more inclined to opt for the the option across the street, Paul Chen’s, when my pockets are light or I want to get (still cheap) delivert. That said, the sushi here is pretty tasty for a Chinese restaurant, and it’s the best shrimp toast I’ve ever had.
Yum’s does a good job at everything I’ve had there, from the wonton soup to the Szechuan green beans to Sesame Chicken. The lunch specials are a great deal, and eating in at the restaurant is really pretty nice. Check it out, but be prepared to pay a little more than your usual Chinese takeout joint.
