About this business
Editorial fromWith its snug streamlined room and fresh food made to-order, Yum Yum Cha is delightfully different from the popular large-scale dim sum eateries. When in a leisurely mood, we like to start with a freshly brewed pot of golden chrysanthemum…

The Place to go for Dim Sum. – The food is very tasty. Friends from out of town always want to go here when they visit. The food doesn't come out very fast so don't go here if you are in a rush. I prefer this place over every other dim sum place in town or even china town. They don't have it on trays like traditional dim sum places, but this way it comes out very fresh. There is very limited seating, but i have never had a problem.
THE RUDEST STAFF IN HOUSTON – The owner is the RUDEST person I have ever encountered at a restaurant. My friend asked her for a lemon for her hot tea. She refused saying she only had 5 left and could not give her one. Unbelievable! This is one of many rude acts. She acts like she is doing us a favor by letting us eat there and pay for our food. I have been there 4 times at the request of friends, hoping she would ne nicer. However, it never happened. Compared to other dim sum places in Chinatown, it is just average. It is al... read more
dim sum any time? i'm there! – I love how I can finally get dim sum any time of the day I want. This place serves dim sum at night for those people who are always at work during the day and don't like the crowds the weekends can bring. The food is made to order which means it has not been idling on a cart waiting for someone to take it. it seriously is piping hot and oh so fresh! the ha-gao is the best i have tasted...though smaller. for the freshness and taste, who cares if it's a little smaller! just order more! the sui ma... read more
No Thanks! – I have eaten Dim Sum around the nation and certainly in Houston...but I have never experienced such rudeness w/ the service staff! The food was not fresh!
Great Dim Sum in the middle of the city – Authentic Dim Sum in a quaint cafe in the middle of the Rice village. The menu might be more limited compared to other banquet hall sized Dim Sum venues, but the quality is there. Loved the tripe, Har-gaow and Chiu-mai among others. Food is made to order, not served on carts, so the food comes out piping hot!
I like to Yum Cha – The food is great for the price. The service is good and although you have to wait for the food instead of having it carted around to you, it's worth the wait.
This is probably the best Dim Sum in Houston! I've been living in Houston for about 20 yrs and this place has fresh EVERYTHING! Everything is steamed to perfection. Even their iced tea is fresh! I think they should charge more for these plates, so that people who are expecting not-so-fresh dim dum can go eat at the other places with the carts! =p
Hong Kong-style dim sum served up fresh and made to order for Rice Village devotees. – 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.
not so yum yum – As a dim sum afficionado, my experience at this place was very disappointing. The wait between dishes was very long. The wu kwok and spring rolls were soggy and greasy. The texture of the cheung fun's rice noodle indicated that it was at least a day old. The siu mai, shark's fin dumplings, cha siu and daan tart were the smallest I have seen in Houston. On top of that, the shark's fin dumplings had the texture of reheated leftovers.
