Tried Yummy for the first time tonight, easily the best chinese takeaway I've ever tasted in Oxford! Food was absolutely delicious, staff were really nice, I will definitely be making Yummys my go-to chinese restaurant.

We live in Headington and we visit Yummy's all the time. All the reviews below are spot on; cheap, cheerful and excellent food. The jungle curry is amazing. Not a first date sort of place, but definitely second. The staff are so friendly to our 3 kiddies and the food is on the table in 10 minutes so it suits us.

Stopped off for a takeaway with my partner and we went for Egg-Fried Rice (excellent and very fresh tasting); chips (we added our own chilli flakes at home but these were the best chips I have ever had from an Oriental restaurant); Crispy Seaweed (less crispy that some but lovely taste); Sliced Monk Fish with Garlic and White Wine Sauce (lovely flavour though slightly unadventurous); Shredded Beef in Chilli (brilliantly sticky but VERY hot... mouths burning for a fair while afterwards which kept the non-food passion at bay!).

None of the food contains MSG but a controversy exists in some of the potentially less ethical items on the menu such as Shark Fin Soup. There are substitutes for Shark in this soup that are sometimes used. I did not ask here whether it was real shark fin or not.

The Restaurant itself had four small tables and was a cafe style. A reasonable range of Oriental and more mainstream drinks; seemed very clean though slightly wacky. The huge piles of magazines for customers dated back many many years and were largely irrelevant. The leaflets and posters around the place also advertised several events that are long gone like Xmas Markets 2012...a bit of a tidy-up in this regard would not hurt. Good value; fast, efficient service.

Overall though very good.

Visited last October. Some of the items on the menu I have not seen elsewhere. Delights such as braised belly pork with sweet sauce and sliced monkfish with wine and garlic sauce (the latter I haven't tried yet, but will do sometime). We were in the area again this weekend and made a point of returning. The balance is refreshingly different but works excellent with the eating area far more like a cafe (as it rightly calls itself) than a restauraunt.

The prices I'd say are comparable or maybe a little cheaper than the restuarants around, but the quality and unusual dishes really make this place special. Excellent service. I look forward to returning there when next in the area. I sincerely hope they keep the place as is and not let all the good reviews encourage them to raise prices etc. This is currently something special with real character.
