Yum Yum Tree in Spelthorne

We have been here many times before, but not since new management. It is now mostly Vietnamese, but they have continued the chinese all-you-can-eat menu. This has risen to a staggering £24ph. So here is my review. Good: extremely friendly, hospitality, very welcoming and fast service. Very clean, prompt service and menu choice is sufficiently appropriate. Soft drink cans priced at £3.60!! Not good: Drink prices, and the continual suggestion of you ordering more drinks. Almost beckoning you to guzzle down as quickly as possible, so you can order more. Huge coke glasses, and insisting on pouring for you. Food very salty. The Hot&Sour soup was like sea water it was so salty. When asked for soy sauce was given Maggi seasoning. No actual menu for the Chinese buffet, stating £24 pricing. However, overall, very nice and I shall go again!

Have been going to this restaurant for over 20 years and have never had a bad experience.this week we celebrated a special event so had a take away delivered to the house food excellent everything we asked for and a complimentary bottle of wine for the birthday lady. Thank you ,you helped make our special evening a great night.

Me and my partner fancied a Chinese and was told Yum Yum was a nice place to go. When we arrived we were sat down and ordered drinks. I just wanted a glass of tap water, but the lady was charging me £2 so I decided to just get a coke. The food was very disappointing, the starters was okay, but the chicken wing looked like a dead mouse and had a cheesy twang to it. The duck was cold and had fatty bits, was defiantly not fresh. After the buffet I would normally be stuffed, but I couldn't eat as much as I would of liked too and would defiantly not be going here again. Be warned!!

Been here a few times before. Unfortunately, during this visit there were a lot of issues. My daughter found a piece of paper that was fried up with her prawns. We pointed this fact out to the manager but nothing was done. Also the house or normal water we asked for after ordering quite a few drinks came to us with floating sediments, and as such was undrinkable. The staff or the manager to be precise, clearly favoured the people he called his regulars. The rest of us just didn’t matter. I hope this place goes back to the way it used to be.

Had dinner here tonight (Sunday). Six of us had the buffet which was served by the excellent staff. Very attentive. We stop here when we are in the area. It looks as if it has had a fairly big refresh since we were here last and looks good both inside and out. Excellent food at a fair price. Would highly recommend.

It was indeed yum yum! Food was fresh, delicious and service was friendly. We are not local but would come again if in the area.

Food here is excellent and the salt and chilli squid is great quality. The ribs are excellent as well. Staff are so nice and friendly and make you feel welcome. Will always come back here

Conveniently located close to our hotel this was an ideal place after a long day of travel and work. Fast, friendly service and delicious food. Yum yum above the door and yum yum behind the door.

Very lovely staff. Food very good. Yes small portions but you just keep ordering more so was ideal. Excellent quality of food. Very impressed.

Came here to celebrate son’s up coming birthday. Every one enjoyed their choices. The food was delicious. Service was very prompt. Having never been to this restaurant before we would definitely return. If you like your food at a reasonable price you will not be disappointed. I must say also this is one of the better restaurants we have visit for a long time

We recently celebrated our 50th Wedding anniversary with Sunday lunch for seventeen people (fifteen adults and two children) at the Yum Yum Eatery. Within the party we had a mixture of dietary requirements including vegan and vegetarian and we all sat in the raised section of the restaurant. Although we had previously eaten here and were familiar with the menu etc, the quality of the food did not disappoint and there was a wide range of starters and mains as well as the duck and veggie wraps in between. The service was friendly and efficient and overall everyone had really nice time and based on our experience, I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

Fantastic lunch today with family for our 50th wedding anniversary..So well organised catering for all of us vegetarian,vegans and the carnivores . Food and portions were great,tasty and hot. Staff were friendly and helpful.Thankyou you were part of a great day.

Very tiny portions, my husbands was slightly bigger. I can understand they don’t want waste but we were not having the buffet. We had from the al a carte menu. The tiny plate was only half full.we paid over £30 for a tiny meal and a shared rice. A can of coke and a can of strongbow. I feel in shock still at how tiny the portions were.

This is easily the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to! My grandparents come here every week and my parents and I join them sometimes. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food is tasty and always delicious, we love coming here and can’t wait to come back soon!

Went into Yum Yum for a take away, recieved the bill, I was overcharged by £10. I queried and was told that there's a price increase and if I don't want the food I can go...this was by the manager. It was awful...I wouldn't go there again.

Fantastic service, they managed to fit two of us in without a booking despite being quite busy! Great food served very quickly! Would definitely recommend and will definitely visit again!

Amazing eatery, well worth the effort travelling to. The staff are exceptionally courteous and attentive. Very clean and welcoming atmosphere. The food is exceptional and marvelously presented. It tastes as good as it looks. I have been many times, but it is getting more pricey, and understandably in current climate. I would highly recommend.

Yet again amazing food. Amazing all you can eat buffet. High quality food. We love coming here. Friendly staff. Delicious and yummy well worth a visit

Really good buffet menu, all table service with some excellent dishes to choose from. From starters to soups, duck wraps to main dishes, all you can eat. Extensive menu. Buffet is £19 per person. Drinks extra. Table cloth restaurant with very good service. Restaurant is recommended.

Staff were super friendly, service quick but not rushed, and food was lovely and fresh. Helpful when asking for dishes not on the menu. Chatted with the owner afterwards who was a real pleasure to talk too. Will definitely visit again if I’m the area....

I have never been to a buffet quite like this one. They state they only offer small portions to help elevate food waste however we was served 1 peice of chicken 1 inch long by a cm thick per person on each dish we ordered....

Took my parents and my wife parents for a catch up. The food and service was perfect Will the owner looked after us impeccably and also looked after all other diners Thankyou very much to will and his fantastic staff

Thought we’d give here a try and should have done before!! Absolutely lovely food, quick & friendly staff. Service charge a little steep but will definitely return again and recommend

We have been eating at the Yum Yum tree for a relatively short time after having our normal restaurant sadly close down a few months ago, but we wished we had found it earlier as we have never had a bad experience here with either...

Great food continues to do takeaway during covid19 fast delivery by William food was excellent. Aromatic duck always a winner with us and salt and chilli squid is great. Thanks for a great service.

I had lunch with my daughter and baby granddaughter today and it was delicious. Very friendly service and reasonably priced. I will definitely return.

Just had a meal there..food was ok not poor or outstanding. however website says 10 years and under £10. However when we we queried it they produced a menu that said under 10 was £10!!! beware ...... will stick in future to our favoured chinese.

Four of us had another great evening with fantastic food at Yum Yum on Sat evening, nothing too much trouble, staff always happy and really know how to look after their customers and of course the food hot, fresh and very tasty. Noticeably restaurant busy...

Six of us eat here Sunday evening. All had the buffet which was excellent. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday so they gave us 10% off. A very nice surprise. Al the food was excellent and served hot and the staff were very efficient and...

After reading the reviews we decided to have a try. We ordered two dishes, and they were not bad at all. We will definitely visit again.

This is our local family-run Chinese restaurant and we often visit thanks to the delicious food and very friendly service. Father, William, his daughter Emma, and the rest of the family, truly make it a great visit and we always carry our friends and family here, who all love it as much as we do. As long as the good food and convivial atmosphere continue, we will always go back.

Me and my mum went to Thorpe park and stayed in the nearby premier in, we looked around the area and found this restaurant! I can honestly say I loved every single dish that was brought to the table! The crispy aromatic duck rolls were incredible! I would travel miles to eat that all over again, only thing me and my mum kept saying to eachover was ‘this is so nice, this is so good’. Most beautiful meal we have eaten on our trip so far! And as it was my birthday a day before, I had 10% off the bill.. very very reasonable! Will return one day

This family owned restaurant is wonderful. The food is excellent and the service is top notch. The way of ordering the as much as you can eat buffet is perfect, as the food is cooked fresh to order and not standing in hot dishes for goodness knows how long. It’s reasonably priced and friendliness of the staff make it a pleasant evening.

Visited here with a large party and from the second we entered the door to the second we left we were made to feel like the only guests in the restaurant. The service is the best in any restaurant I've ever been in. The staff are friendly, attentive and professional. We were served by a lady called Emma who was fantastic. Always checking if we where ok and recommending dishes to those who where unsure. The manager, Will, took time to speak to all his guests. The food is the best Chinese I've ever had. Every dish we tried, and there was a lot between us, was perfect. All fresh and tasty. The black bean sauce is amazing. If you like Chinese food then look no further. Thanks to Will and all his staff for looking after us and making this a fantastic experiance.

Yet again amazing food. Amazing all you can eat buffet. High quality food. We love coming here. Friendly staff

We popped along on the off chance on Sunday, and were really impressed. The decor was great, hospitality great and the food was amazing. We had the buffet and everything was tasty and good portion sizes. Certainly recommend and pretty good value for money. We'd definitely go again.

Booked for family birthday but we use regularly,yet to be disappointed.Nothing is too much trouble from all the staff and you are made to feel very welcome in a friendly way.

We have been coming here for nearly 20 years, and its never let us down on the quality of their food or service. We went on Saturday night and had a table from 6pm until closing, with no pressure to move on. We have got to know the owner William and his family really well and always a smile and a chat when we go in, either to sit in or for takeaway. Their new buffet style is really tasty food, always sizzling hot and so reasonably priced so great value. People whining about small portions, order more if you like it! You can order from a main individual priced menu for more choice but to be honest the buffet menu covers everything most people want from dining in an east asian restaurant. Our daughter really loves their noodles with shrimp and they're always willing to change them if needed to her ever changing taste depending if she wants veg or not! I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. thank you as always!

Everything about our visit was perfect, food, atmosphere, staff, price! Cannot recommend enough. Will definitely be back soon

Had a lovely meal here, very much recommend. The food wasn't particularly special, but good for the price, very attentive nice service.

Excellent choices friendly family run restuarant.not overly expensive.anything you don't want is omitted likewise anything you would like can be added.Very efficient all round we enjoyed our meal .Would recommend it.

This the first I have ever had to write review. We were very very disappointed with the service they could not cope, some of the staff did not seem to know what they were doing, we waited ages for anyone to take our order, when got our starter it looked as though it had been throne on the plate, we waited ages for someone to clear the plates and bring our duck and pancakes, they put the plate down and ages after they delivered the meal everything was cold, then we waited again for some sort of service, we ordered banana fritters and ice cream not even a whole banana, , all they seemed to focus on was people coming in for takeaway food they had priority, we waited and waited, we were not the only ones, we heard 4 people say they would never come again.as did a couple behind us. The food was not value for money, the plates of food were very small about a desert spoon each for 4 people,very poor, what there was of it was ok but seemed like the food was being rashioned. Would not go again, it was a treat for my husbands birthday, so not a good night. The staff were rushing about all the time, no time to be pleasant, forgetting things some did not seem to know what they were doing Good luck if you book, I hope you have a better time than we did,and take no notice of the photo's on the web ,it was not like it at the restaurant. As I said before there priority interested is the people coming in for takeaway, so we have to wait.

2ent in here on Friday night with my wife,son and niece we had the buffet menus that was well worth the price the food was hot and tasty and Will the owner was very nice come and had a chat with us and was keen to know if we enjoyed the food.

Really poor food, over 90 minutes for delivery, had to reheat everything. Malaysian curry so watery. 1st time order and it will be my last

My family and I had been looking for a good Chinese buffet restaurant near us for a while.

Fantastic an stunning! Having the Duck feast, best I’ve eaten in a long time. Super friendly, great service. If your in the area a must.

I have been coming here for over 20 years, the food is great and the service is too. William always greats me and asks how my family are doing. I would never order a chinese takeaway anywhere else as the quality is as good as it is to eat in the restaurant. Lovely family run restaurant

Super friendly staff and excellent food. William the boss was really accomdating to my need of gluten free dishes had a great understanding and lots of dishes to choose from. Have since had a takeaway and William took my order to ensure all was written down correctly. Great service will definitely be returning! Finally found a Chinese restaurant near by their serves gluten free!!

Having visited the restaurant last year when in the area had no hesitation in booking again, the food is excellent so much so I returned again the following evening just a pity I live so far away I would definitely not hesitate in returning if I am in the area again

Someone recommended this restaurant and it didn’t dissapoint! The friendly staff were helpful but not in your face like other all you can eat buffets. The food was cooked perfectly and just the right size portions. Excellent selection too! It was busy and people were being turned away so definitely book before you go. Highly recommend

We stayed in premier inn. For rugby. Came here for meal after the game. Definitely was yummy. Best buffet ever had . We live a long way away but will definitely be coming back for this amazing food.

Great selection if you choose the buffet menu, was £17.50 each on a Thursday night. Recommend you book a table as it was busy even early evening.

Early Saturday evening family meal. Busy little family run restaurant. Attentive staff. Spotlessly clean. Freshly cooked buffet menu to order. Happy to serve with the sauce separately, as obviously freshly cooked. Not just heated! Good choice of drinks available. An enjoyable relaxing meal had by all.

Had a selection of takeaway chicken black bean with peppers chilli beef it was quite tasteless and won’t be using again

The Yum Yum Tree has been revamped as an Asian Eatery but is still essentially a Chinese food restaurant. We went for a set menu that was good value and generally well cooked. Nice flavoured food, but was it as good as it used to be, probably not. Service was good, staff friendly.

The food was nice but seriously overpriced for what we got. Never been to a Chinese place that charges that much for such small portions. The mixed hors d’oeuvre was £17 for two people but was easily enough for only one person if even that! It could of been the best Chinese in the world and I still would never go back there for the amount they charged. First time I’ve left a Chinese restaurant still hungry.

Nice food but a little chaotic. Arrived quite early but seemed to struggle with service. Starters were fairly quick but had to wait a long time for the main course, had to get new plates because the first lot went cold. Order was wrong and finished everything else before getting the last of the food. Also, too many people sitting and standing around waiting for takeaways.

Always hot n tasty .. friendly staff.. Always where we get our Chinese dins from never been disappointed yet

My husband and I visited here Saturday evening, we did phone and book a table, arrived and shown to our table, it was freezing cold in there and other guests were still in their coats, surely this tells the staff something, anyway we thought we'd give it a while and see what happened. Menus were given, waited about 15minutes just for our drink order to be taken, at this point we did say how cold it was, they said the heating was on. Ordered our food and drinks, starters arrived about 30 minutes later after tables that arrived after us had already got theirs ? Served on freezing cold plates ( I do like hot plates for my food) so hence it all went cold too quickly, we did mention this and just got a shrug and told restaurants do not offer warm plates anymore, well they do at all other restaurants we go to. Asked for warm plates for main course, did not get these and the chilli beef was cold, they did replace this with a hot one. Asked for bill which was forgotten, asked again, it was wrong, they changed it and again we said how disappointed we were with the food and service, we were told it is because we are busy ! Well isn't a restaurant meant to be busy ? He really didn't care at all that we had not enjoyed our visit, said we would not be returning or recommending, again all we got was a shrug of shoulders, very unprofessional !!

The best Chinese in the area by far. The food is fresh and tasty. The service is fast, polite and friendly. We often visit when we want Chinese food and it never disappoints. Every dish I have tried is fantastic and cooked to perfection.

You need to book a table Friday Saturday or your be disappointed. Its not cheap but worth it the duck and pancakes is to die for. Visited restaurant many times never a disappointment. If you go once your be going back.

Went to this restaurant with the missus expecting the worst. When the meal was done my mind was blown. After living in China for 10 years I have never found a restaurant that can perfectly replicate the true dishes until now. Service was great, in particular the young bartender and the manager were truly splendid. I had to thank William Chong, the manager, for such an exceptional meal and night. Would recommend for all Chinese lovers as you can finally taste the true Chinese delicacies. AMAZING!!!!!!

Have been coming to this Chinese for a long time, the staff are always so friendly and very welcoming, the atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable, great for a special occasion or just because you want some great food. The food here is delicious I have never had a bad meal here. The service is impeccable.

Visited the yum yum eatery for the first time this Monday evening. Weary being a quiet Monday evening what to expect. We decided on a ‘Yum Yum feast’ exchanging the sweet and sour for a Kung Po, no problem, what a good choice. Thoroughly recommend this Chinese. What a result, nothing bland about these dishes. Great place will definitely be back

Really disappointed with the food here I’m afraid. The service was excellent, I cannot fault them for efficiency and timing of bringing each dish. The food however wasn’t great, with two of my three dishes being disappointing.

The starters were tasty. Enough time was left between them and our mains.Friendly service great food and atmosphere Food Lovely I recommend for a get together with any amount of people. You cannot fault the food and the high quality drinks here. A perfect place to visit.

Visited here recently with four colleagues/friends. They took advantage of the eat as much as you like BUFFET menu, which actually is not a buffet, you can order from a huge long list whatever you would like to eat and the quality and the choice is exceptional. Unlike a 'normal buffet' when the choice is limited and often the more mundane choices. Lucky friends - They took full advantage of this amazing offer. As a veggie that wasn't such a good thing for me. So I asked to order from the AlaCarte. No problem. Very attentive waiter was very understanding. We had an amazing meal, the standard of food, service and everything was excellent. The vegetarian options were really lovely, tasty and beautifully cooked and presented. Couldn't fault a thing. Thanks for a fabulous meal and a great evening out.

I'm sitting in this restaurant still eating what a lovely place couldn't complain about anything.Food nice and hot not greasy spring rolls very crispy beef so tender chicken chow main lovely all food perfect I would recommend this place now I'm eating the ice-cream so nice on 2nd lot.lovely service nice people

I was surprised to read the negative reviews on here as had not seen them before we decided on a whim to eat here.

A lovely place to eat friendly service great food and atmosphere

I've been coming to this restaurant for a couple years now and the owner is very very well known in the area by young and old alike. He's always polite and takes the time to talk to you even if he's very busy. The food price wise I think is fair and very tasty. The rest of the staff are helpful and work very hard. Warm ambience too.

Had a meal here whilst staying at local travelodge. Very nice food but the mixed orderve starter was over priced at £17 for 2 people. The aubergine was tasty and would have again

I genuinely cannot believe that i am writing this review but here we go.

I love this Chinese restaurant with good size portions and delicious food I particularly like their roast pork noodles.

Popped in as passing at lunch time. Lovely sweet and sour chicken and a Thai green curry, all served piping hot and freshly cooked, nothing was too much trouble. All thorough enjoyed it. Will be back. Recommended

Food always hot and on time. Food Lovely quality for price always a good meal in store or delivered.

Always enjoyed the food here and now the restaurant has been modernised it's even more of a pleasure to eat here

The menu and restaurant has been updated and it's about the same it's always been. Not the best but far from the worst.

Five of us ordered chicken, prawn and beef sizzling dishes in ginger and spring onion which turned out to be boiled meat with very little taste, drowning in a cornflour sauce that looked and had the consistency of wallpaper paste. And for around £9 a dish made this just appalling value for money! Even the bean sprouts in garlic had to be plucked from the same wallpaper paste. They need to update their online pictures to give a true representation of the colourless offerings.

We had a fantastic meal here but the service was the worst I can remember. The person in charge told...
