New Yamin Chinese Takeaway in Gwynedd

Worth the wait. Factor in plenty of time for your order and trust me it's worth it. Curry sauce, black bean beef and salt and pepper chicken all delicious, chips and rice nicely cooked and fresh too. All very tasty and by far the best I've had in the area! Kind about the long wait and offered polite apologies. Luckily we factored in the long wait and made more of an adventure of the evening and went in a few shops. Overall really great experience. 40 years of holidays in the area and can't believe we've never tried this one!! Far exceeded other local options. My new favourite! Will be back 👍🏼

Lovely food staff very friendly would recommend

First time trying this Chinese, being away on holiday is always difficult to find somewhere nice to eat. Was pleasantly surprised on how nice the meal was, was a long wait but well worth it. Just a reminder to everyone it’s cash only

I'm not usually a fan of Chinese takeaway but Yamin was great. Good service, red hot food and really tasty. I'll definitely pop in again when I'm near by

Food was OK, not wonderful, but the place itself is uninspiring, service abrupt and disinterested. It's unengaging and cash only, always rings warning bells. Go back? Probably but not because I'm keen. There are many other places.

Had a take away on our first evening of our holiday. Took an hour and 10 minutes for 3 mains, two side to be prepared so quite a long wait but the food was delicious, tasty and fresh.

My wife and I on holiday here. Absolutely excellent food. Beef chow mein, Vegetable chow mein and extras. Lots of beef in my meal. Curry sauce delicious. We've had some poor Chinese meals around the UK but this was great. Would highly recommend

Great Chinese takeaway. Felt good quality ingredients

Lovely flavour and portion sizes, especially the chicken chow mein

The taste was not so good and everything tasted the same. Only chow mein was somewhat decent. I do not recommend any of the gravies, toooooo sweet.

Amazing food .. must try .. good portion.. yummiest dinner i had in longggg timeee :)

Great food, my wife really enjoyed her dish.

Quality food, freshly cooked, generous portions and sooooo tasty. Satay combo starter delicious, curry sauce the best I’ve had in a long time

Delicious and fresh food. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended, Salt and pepper chips where 10/10 for me, he even put a bit of curry sauce on my salt and pepper chicken, best Chinese I've had in Wales so far

Pure quality, great portion size, great flavour and full of meat etc, I can’t recommend this enough, and when I got the bill I couldn’t believe how cheap it was, then to cap it off free prawn crackers

First time down portmaddog and found yamin Chinese restaurant the gentleman behind the counter was so polite and friendly he let me off for 40p as I only had notes didn’t wait long and I gave him 50p because he was so lovely he gave me free crackers. This food was also nice loads of flavour as though I was in restaurant the taste and quality was amazing too

Every dishes were toooooo sweet, a soup like a gravy, 5x sugar, satay tooo sweet 4x sugar, cantonese fried rice 5x sugar, the whole meal like eating sugar 👎👎👎

Dont even bother, extremely long wait times and the food was below substandard. Ordered kung pao chicken in chilli sauce and it was watery sweet gravy with a bunch of veggies with shredded chicken. Had to bin it, the fried rice had too much salt. Ordered at 8 pm and was told to collect at 8:50 pm, 10 mins before their closing time. However got the food at 9:10 pm. Unfortunately there isn't a half decent resturant in this town!!

Best Chinese I’ve ever had so tasty , we where on holiday

Tried this place for the first time based on other reviews we'd read, and we were not disappointed. It's no wonder the phone is always engaged, thoroughly recommend it.

Very costly. Barely any prawns in the dish.Do not order the curry dish, as there is barely anything to eat. Just a run of the mill Chinese takeaway, from old fashioned Hong Kong times, which is now outdated ie from 20 years ago.

5 stars! Good, plentiful, cheap and a pretty girl at the counter!

We was on the local caravan site, we went here for tea, food was very nice and a reasonable price also 👌

Really good Chinese will definitely be back 😋

Had a great takeaway from here last week. Really wanted a Chinese and this was the only one in Porthmadog. Loved all of the dishes we had, especially enjoyed the Chicken Balls, Char Siu with pineapple and King Prawn Chow Mein. Free prawn crackers were excellent too. Worth ordering ahead by phone as it gets very busy.

Fantastic food from the only Chinese Take away in Porthmadog. We loved all of the dishes. Excellent value for money and the free prawn crackers were delicious too

First time getting a takeaway from here Salt and Pepper spare ribs 😋 😍 👌 definitely will be back

Pretty decent food here and great value. Compared to my local chinese, you get a lot of meat in each dish. Highly recommended and will be visiting again when back in the area.

Good quality food, excellent value for money. Very enjoyable. Used 3 times during our weeks stay. Will certainly use again

Staff/owner very friendly. Food very tasty and reasonably priced. Wait times was under estimated, so we had a bit of a wait for collection. But it’s was worth it.

Our order was a 50 minute wait but well worth it. Our dishes were hot, delicious and great value. Would recommend.

Fed 4 people for £25 - good value for money. All delicious food. Only feedback is the salt&pepper chips, salt&pepper chicken included too much onion. Must’ve been equivalent of two wasted onions as we didn’t eat it.

Ordered special fried rice king prawn and mushrooms and soft noodles with beansprouts it was ready to pick up on time. Everything was warm and very tasty will definitely order from here again

While on holiday we tried this Chinese takeaway because of the good reviews and we weren't disappointed. Sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour pork, mushroom omelette and chicken curry were all delicious. Good portion sizes and it's great value for money.

Decided to order from here as we would be leaving north Wales the next day. The wait for the food yp be cooked was long to say the least, but I think it was due to the fact they had been closed for a little while so everyone was ordering plus the eisteddfod was near so more foot fall in the town. Well we would certainly recommend this place as the wait was well worth it, food was hot, tasty and good size portions.

Read the reviews before trying out this takeaway and it did not disappoint. The store front is a little tired looking but the food was amazing, we had chicken chow mein, beef chow mein, prawn toast egg fried rice, seaweed and sweet and sour chicken, all had generous portion sizes. Every single dish was delicious, would use again if in the area.

Walked in on a Monday. Ten minute wait. Food was good. Crispy chicken in a barbecue sauce and salt and chilli prawns with soft noodles.

Lovely food, generous portions. Walk-in order 15 / 20 min wait, awesome. Chop suey special best I've ever had. Kung po best Mrs has had. On-street parking only.

Had a great meal from here at the beginning of the week. Thought I would try again. A mistake I won’t be making again. Got my order completely wrong and then proceeded to argue with me stating I ordered wrong. When I finally got my correct order the chicken was dry and chewy and virtually inedible and for sweet and sour had little to no sauce. The fact I also got overcharged for the meal just makes even more of a mockery of the situation. I would do the 30 minute drive to Caernarfon for a decent meal next time.

First night on holiday camping and didn’t want to cook, so we got a takeaway, best decision we made. Decent portions, very tasty food and quick service (15 minute wait).

£6.80 for a curry? Yes because not only do you get tub of curry, a tub of rice or chips are included. Chicken chow mein fore had to many vegetables but everything else was great.

One of the best Chinese takeaways I had in a while. Food is fresh and tastes yummm!

Really good food! Would recommend calling in advance as we waited about 40 mins for a meal for 2 but the food was worth the wait ! Cantonese chicken and egg fried rice in photo

Food great. Had to wait for an hour for the food on collevtion though, but it was Saturday evening. Nice owner.

First time at this Restaurant. Food was ready in quick time . Was ample portions.... Food was very tasty indeed. Would recommend

Got take out during our recent holiday. The food was tasty, fresh and only a 30 minute wait for collection. Would highly recommend the salt and pepper chicken!

Had the nicest takeaway from here last night whilst on our holiday at Black Rock Sands. Highly recommended

Filled a gap but wouldn’t rush back. Chicken chow mien had huge lumps of chicken. We had other dishes too, and while it as ok it just didn’t feel perfectly prepared. Huge waiting times of about an hour on bank holiday Monday evening but everywhere in the area had massive queues

Traditional Chinese "chip shop" takeaway. Good food, but service can be very slow - it's probably best to phone your order in (but be prepared for the line to be engaged). The salt & pepper chicken is particularly good.

Food was very nice had chips with curry sauce crispy beef and king prawn fried rice food was full of flavour and perfectly cooked definitely would recommend this to people

I was in the area on holiday and wanted a good Chinese takeout. I was guided by the good reviews and I wasn’t disappointed. Even with the good reviews I was still surprised how good the food tasted. Waiting time was long but all good restaurants will have a queue of some sort. We spent £43.50 on food for 4 adults and didn’t even eat half the food. Portions are definitely reasonable!!!

Absolute fantastic take away, popped in here last night after a long day on Snowdon and we count be bothered too cook, highly requemend staff members are friendly and patience, the food was fresh hot and very tasty the pizzas are a decent size and we'll worth the asking price. The kebabs. Are some of the best tasting kebabs we've had in a long time, absolute fantastic.

On holiday in the area and fancied a Chinese for dinner. Nice enough & reasonable value we thought. Asked for chicken and cashew nuts with no garlic but got back to our caravan to discover they’d not put any cashew nuts in it (Who asks for Chicken and cashew without the cashews?????) Sweet and sour Cantonese (usually a safe bet) was very sweet and lacking in the sour. Couldn’t eat it all. The noodle dishes were nice however.

So impressed with this takeaway, the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the satay dishes and salt and pepper chips- they were so, so good. The satay sauce is one of the best sauces I’ve ever had. Will definitely be ordering again :)

Lovely Chinese highly recommend

Don’t know what’s gone on at this place - last month (April 22) we had a takeaway and it was delicious but had one tonight (May) and it was disgusting - crispy beef in bbq sauce and crispy chicken in bbq sauce, both as tough as old boots, sauce was split and tasteless and nothing crispy about either of them, even the complementary prawn crackers were stale and chewy. Lad that took the order and money communicated in grunts and mumbles and had no customer service skills whatsoever! Will never go back there or recommend it anyone. Also ended up short of one main meal but were actually glad as it was so bad!

The best Chinese takeaway in the area. We have visited the area year upon year regularly having tried all the other takeaways we had overlooked this one as it used to be an Indian and didn’t notice it had changed as we had a break in visiting through the pandemic. We tried it for the first time this evening and were thoroughly impressed. Food was delicious really flavoursome and excellent portion sizes. The gentleman working behind the counter was very friendly we will definitely be back.

The food was really good, but it doesn't accept card.

Good food. Might be the best take away in porthmadog

We tried here as we were staying near Portmadog. Had salt and pepper chips, crispy wonton, egg fried rice, lemon chicken and chicken in black bean sauce. The lemon chicken was better than any we've had at our home takeaways and everything else was tip top. We had to wait 45 minutes but we ordered at 8pm on a bank holiday Saturday evening so it's expected. Would definitely recommend.

Great Chinese food. Good is always hot and really flavoursome. I love their Satay dishes as they're really nutty and sweet. Prompt and polite service. Always a treat.

Very tasty. Lovely meal for two

Chose special fried rice - nice tasty meal with loads of meat, but saturated with far too much oil. - May try a different meal next time.

Would of been 5 stars but found beef curry bland Sweet sour sauce very sour .. Rest of the meal was lovely

Found this Chinese while staying near porthmadog on holiday, bit of a wait for food around 50mins for a Saturday night . Well worth the wait thou as the food was delicious and the portions were massive . Everyone loved the food in our group 😋

Very good salt and pepper chillie chips

Called here one evening for a Chinese takeaway, it was very busy so there was quite a wait, then my order got mislaid, but eventually I got my food and cannot complain, it was definitely worth waiting for. Everything was hot and tasted delicious, I would recommend a visit, just be patient if there's a wait it'll be worth it.

Ordered salt/pepper chips, crispy beef in sezchaun sauce and sweet/sour chicken. All of it was really good. Lots of flavour

We have just had a meal as a treat for our tea omg excellent 👍👍👍we rang our order threw & it was ready in 15 minutes. Piping hot when it arrived & really good portions. Well recommend this Chinese. Thank you 😊

Good food, does take a while tho but it's worth the wait. We've tried a few of their dishes and really can't fault the place, it's just good food in huge portions at a fair price, what else can you ask for?

Apsolutly delicious food, only problem couldn't finish it!! Even catered for gluten free diet. Will deffinatly go there again.
