Yummy Yummy Yummy House … Yummy!
July 18th, 2007 by Brian Ries in Restaurants, TampaHere’s a report by our own Taylor Eason, who has gushed so much it sounds like an ad:
Oh my… amazing Chinese food as been uncovered in Tampa Bay. Absolutely the best Chinese in the city, bar none: Yummy House, located in a drab strip mall on Waters Ave. in Tampa, just east of Armenia on the south side. Yummy House has been open about 8 months and they have developed a quiet following of all ethnicities. Isn’t it the best compliment to a Chinese restaurant that Chinese brethren are in the house? For appetizers, try the potstickers, filled with succulent steamed shrimp; the spicy, salt and pepper calamari chew like butter; or feast on a terrine of deliciously rich wonton soup. The roast duck is amazing, but we were less impressed with the short ribs- a bit fatty and tough. The pungent Shrimp and Scallops in XO Sauce is not for the uninitiated, but the most adventurous among us dove in like it was his last meal. Three of us ate like pigs (and carried plenty home) for $60, and you can bring in your own wine for no corkage fee. Go early or late to avoid the rush on weekends.
Yummy House is located at 2202 West Waters Ave. (813) 915-2828. Lunch and dinner every day but Tuesday.

Sounds great but you obviously haven’t tried ABC Seafood in St Pete at 54th Ave N in a strip center on the right just past Haines Road before you get to 28th St N.
Amazing, fresh, choose your seafood. Have the whole fish or shrimp with honey and walnuts. Don’t miss the ribs - definitely the best I’ve had in a long time - and I just returned form NYC yesterday!! The crab is outstanding in all ways prepared. I could go on and on. GO THERE!

hit it up tonight.
salt and pepper tofu was divine
the ma pa tofu was not so good and it had CHICKEN in it (while listed as a vegitarian dish)
the curry chicken was okay, nothing to write home about
i will definately be back, if for no other reason than that salt and pepper tofu… and will try some new stuff out too while i am at it.
the portion sizes were ginormous

My dad told me about this place — really, he raved. I meant to tell you about it, Brian, but forgot until just now.
