YumYum Restaurant in Hackney

Order sweet and sour chicken and egged fried rice. Everything was cold and didn’t look or taste like it was cooked the day. The sweat and sour looked like vomit. I tried to eat it as I didn’t want to waste money but it also tasted like vomit. Soggy and weird looking colour. The worse Thai food I’ve tasted in any country. People from Thailand would be disappointed if they came here. 0/10.

Now I can’t complain about the cocktails as we came on a Wednesday it was BOGOF for the whole evening. The food on the other hand was not the best. Calamari and fish cakes were overdone. They were brought out first by the time the chips come the other food was cold. Haven’t been Yum Yum in years and so I had high expectations as the food was once really nice. Had to really force ourselves to finish the food and still left a good amount, The platter was okay though not too much complaint about that. We did share that we wasn’t too happy but no further action was taken to rectify the problem.

Food was Amazing! I’m a lorry driver that picked some bits up for the Owner Mr Antique, he gave me some food for FREE for my journey, I’m genuinely shocked at how good it was considering I’m not the biggest fan of Thai, everything tasted home-made and fresh. I will definitely be coming again when I next in the area, I will be paying for my food next time lol. Really lovely guy, support this business everyone!

I ordered from Uber eats - beef in oyster sauce and egg fried rice. One of the worst meals I’ve ever had. They were both packaged like ready meals and tasted like it too. The beef dish tasted like a horrible roast dinner in a weird gravy with critically overcooked beef that was like leather and the egg fried rice was overcooked, yellow as hell egg chunky bits in overcooked white rice with no seasoning. I ended up giving it to my cat but even my cat couldn’t stomach it.

I didn't like the food. Noodles were sticky and over cooked chicken balls had a burger type texture. Service good though quite expensive for what you get lovely looking restaurant.

Owned by a beautiful couple, who actually care about hospitality and meaningful conversation, which left our family feeling warm and invited (not something you always find in London) The Tom Khar Chicken was perfect, cannot be faulted and tasted very authentic. All of the starters tasted delicious. The Thai iced teas were also very good. Pineapple fried rice didn’t taste as authentic although was very tasty nevertheless. A nice and ambient atmosphere and they are able to cater to your needs. Also beautiful art on the walls.

We ordered food and collected it from restaurant to take home. We got stale crackers, dim sum with hard, broken skins, and the soup had spilled all over the food box . We informed the restaurant about the issues, but they ignored us. The food was hardly edible, and we ended up throwing it away. We were extremely disappointed with their service and food. The quality of the food is not consistent. Not recommended.

Great place to eat with friends and family. Good timely service, with good staff.

It was very busy the Sunday I went there but that just goes to show the quality of the food and service is second to none.

Food very solid and good value. Restaurant is nice inside, good place to catch up with a friend. Staff and service are lovely!

COLD. FISHY. NOT VEGAN FRIENDLY.

Cocktails were so good. 241 on Sundays.

The worst Thai food I've ever had anywhere in the world (in over 30 years of eating Thai food!). Ordered a delivery. Arrived over an hour late, their driver was rude, then the actual food was so nauseating that we had to throw it away. Everything was pre-sealed, frozen then microwaved extensively, so that when we cut the packages open, the dumplings were dry, rubbery and made us gag, the pad Thai tasted like it was cooked in rancid old oil, the chicken was dry and rubbery, and the steamed rice (not sticky rice) was one block of gelatinous goop. An absolute health hazard, probably fine as a dare on a stag do or something. Truly truly awful, never known anything like it.

I took my wife to YumYum on Friday night. I absolutely love the place, the food. However, the highlight is the service provided by Tuk. She is an amazing waitress and I even want to say an amazing host. She went above and beyond with a genuine smile on her face the whole time we were at the restaurant. Thank you for making my date with my wife so memorable.

Good Thai restaurants with authentic environments and good customer service. We met with the owner Mr Atique, He was very kind and humble. ,,😊

The main on the set menu is not so great. Starters were very nice.

Nice decor and atmosphere. Large menu selection. The portions were a bit on the small side. The food was tasty. I got a fried squid main meal but it was the size of a starter.

Great food with a wide choice to suit every palate both in size and dietary requirements. Friendly staff. Great ambience. Loved it. Can accommodate large parties, it's very large inside but cleverly designed to create cosy spaces.

the staff are so nice! and the food is lovely

Thai is our favourite so ordered a variety of dishes. Squid were overcooked and I had what was advertised as a whole seabass filet that turned out to be pieces of deep fried fish. The Thai basil chicken had a good flavour but the meat was overcooked; the same with the spicy beef salad. The cocktails however were great. Service was slow. Atmosphere nice. Just too few good dishes that we’d be return.

The food was yummy, good veggie options and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The veggie spring rolls were delicious

Came here for my sister inlaws 60th birthday meal. Lovely restaurant, it'ss massive and has really authentic looking Thai decor. Lovely bar and cocktails served too. Because we were a large party 19 of us we could only choose from the group menu which offered not much choice. Also when the food arrived the portions and what was offered did not warrant the high cost person person. Defo not worth the cost. Would I return, ermmmm i'm not sure, if the food on the group menu was anything to go by probably not, as what was received was meagre, oily and tasteless and way overpriced. But it's sad as the atmosphere and venue is really lovely and service attentive but on this occasion the cocktails out did the food in taste and value that's for sure!

Really wonderful customer service! Even allowed me to pray and had a prayer mat for me. Halal food and staff were wonderful. All the starters were to die for the Thai tea was superb and fresh. The happy hour mocktails were so good. The sticky mango rice was yum. The mains were ok not as good as the starters

Rarely motivated to write reviews but Yum Yum's is a terrible restaurant on all levels. The food is average and made us feel sick. Anyone saying it's good has never been to a proper Thai restaurant (hard to find in East London though to be fair). Cocktails are watered down. Probably why they are 2 for 1. Food also came really late with no apology or offer of discount for waiting over 40 mins whilst everyone around us who came in later were being served. All round bad business. Avoid and go to any of the amazing Turkish, Vietnamese or Italian restaurants around there.

5 guests: For 3, Main Food was lovely & tasty. For 2, food was ok but dry, as needed a sauce with it. Starters, again all tasty but for 1, the gf spring rolls were bland. Restaurant & toilets are all too dark for daytime. Price was good!! Service was ok but should allow us to tip, not add 12.5% on which is higher than usual 10% tip and the service was just ok, not amazing. For these reasons lost a star. However, overall enjoyed our meal.

This place offers a delightful dining experience with a range of delicious dishes. We had the prawn spring rolls, spicy hot wings, Penang curry and for dessert, crème brûlée and mango rice—all were extremely delicious. However, the jungle curry didn't quite hit the mark for us. Overall, a great spot for Thai cuisine!

It is a lovely looking place and a bit like a TARDIS, with multiple areas to sit and eat. The staff are incredibly welcoming, the food choice is amazing. I will be back as there are so many dishes I would like to try. 😃

Found out this restaurant recently. Pretty authentic Thai restaurant in east London for sure. Ordered fish cake for starter and the fish meat included pretty filling to start with. Fried pineapple rice was definitely something flavourful and cooked perfection. The stir fry chicken with basil did not smell well but could taste the spicy ness of it as I have asked chef to make it spicy. The green curry was excellent too to go well with the dishes. Overall nice restaurant to come. Though dessert was expecting mango sticky rice but they didn’t have it here.

There is nowhere better for atmosphere and food and attention to detail staff

Best Thai food I have ever eaten - better than some I have experienced even in Thailand. The menu has something for everyone, it comes quickly and the service here is top-notch – friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile. Whether it's your first visit or you're a regular, the staff makes you feel like family. What really sets this place apart is the love they put into every dish - I am yet to find one I haven’t enjoyed. Honourable mention to the green curry, pineapple fried rice, satay prawns, steamed sea bass and the minced beef with chilli and basil. Will very happily continue to be a regular here.

Attended a private event here on a warm sunny Saturday afternoon. Canapés were outstandingly delicious and the service couldn't have been more helpful, friendly (and patient - we were all catching up!) Such a lovely place - thanks to all the team who looked after us so well.

An Unforgettable Dining Experience at YumYum YumYum exceeded our expectations in every aspect, delivering a dining experience that will linger in our memories for years to come. Service: From the moment we stepped through the door, we were met with a warm welcome from the front of house staff and the rest of the team. The service was not only friendly and helpful but also incredibly attentive. They effortlessly accommodated our request to bring out our daughter's meal early, ensuring her enjoyment of the egg noodles with chicken and vegetables. Cuisine: The culinary delights at YumYum were nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was brought to our table in a timely manner, allowing us to savor each course without feeling rushed. The food was impeccably cooked, with the scallops standing out for their amazing taste and perfect preparation. Furthermore, the lamb in the curry was tender and flavorful, elevating the dish to new heights of culinary excellence. Highlights: A highlight of our evening was the special treat YumYum prepared for our daughter's birthday. The delightful lava cake and ice cream they brought out made her meal truly memorable and added an extra layer of joy to our dining experience. In conclusion, YumYum proved to be a culinary gem, offering not only delicious food but also impeccable service and thoughtful touches that made our visit truly unforgettable. We can't wait to return and explore more of their delectable menu offerings.

Food was mediocre at its best (green curry) to very poor (wings, duck, prawn toast, chicken ball…) The meat was not cooked enough where it needed to be. Crispy wing and ducks both had soggy skin. The green curry was ok but not enough sauce. The mocktails were tasteless. The unfinished food was collected and the staff were not alarmed at all, very poor customer service. Toilets were filthy with faeces on the toilet seat. £100 wasted!

This restaurant seems good value for money to me. A calm atmosphere (I came to this restaurant on a Tuesday). The food is good and so is the attention of the staff. I loved the coconut rice. The space in the restaurant is spacious, something that is great for me. I recommend it!.

I really enjoyed this place . The food was really nice and tasty, service was excellent, very attentive and advised me on the best options available. They had a great knowledge about their menu . I thought they had a good variety of different types of food as I am vegetarian I found a lot of amazing choices to choose from. I enjoyed the atmosphere and their decor as well. It was lovely experience from walking in until walking out! I am planning to come back soon .

Delicious lamb curry and chocolate dessert!

Do NOT eat here. Food is not safe. Vomited severely after the meal. And that was vegetarian so can only imagine fish/meats. Staff were slow but attentive; but still the food was not safe.

Lovely Atmosphere, tasty food. 2 for 1 cocktails at happy hour. Enjoyable experience.

Truly outstanding food. Expensive but definitely the quality worth the price.

I honestly cannot fault this restaurant. I sat in the authentic lowered seats were your feet are in a hole and the tables in the hole and the seats are higher. (Very poor description). The food was lush! I had the spring rolls where were not like any spring roll I've had before and a Pad Thai ..... lets just say I need to go back

It was such a great experience. It’s THE BEST thai place in London i have been to till now. Me and my friend were literally there for 3 hours because they had such a good outdoor space and it was very peaceful (because it was a Thursday i guess). If you don’t like crowded places too much, go on a Thursday. Food was very very good. Coconut curry chicken (don’t remember the exact name) and sweet and sour chicken were amazing. The fried rice were delicious too. Vegetable springs rolls are a must have, also with their pretty and tasty cocktails. The staff is super friendly and the owner of the place is amazing!! A MUST VISIT PLACE✨✨

Such good value for money, staff was really attentive. Food was piping hot and flavoursome. Really good portions we all left stuffed to the brim. Everyone loved there meal. Cocktails were exceptional especially the espresso martini! Would highly recommend

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Yum Yum Thai Restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance felt stale and unwelcoming. The decor was outdated, and it seemed like no effort had been made to create a pleasant dining atmosphere. The service was abysmal; our waiter seemed disinterested and barely paid attention to our table. It took an eternity for our orders to be taken, and when the food finally arrived, it was a letdown. The dishes lacked the authentic Thai flavors I expected; everything tasted bland and uninspired. I ordered the pad Thai, hoping for a burst of traditional flavors, but instead, I got a plate of noodles drowned in a generic, overly sweet sauce. The green curry was equally disappointing – it lacked the depth and complexity that defines a good Thai curry. It felt like the kitchen was cutting corners and using subpar ingredients. The portion sizes were small for the high prices they charged. I left the restaurant feeling unsatisfied and regretful for spending my money there. Overall, Yum Yum Thai Restaurant failed to deliver on both taste and value, making it an experience I wouldn't wish upon anyone. Save yourself the disappointment and explore other Thai dining options in the area.

Tasty, fairly-priced and the staff were all great and very friendly!

My favourite Thai food restaurant of all time. Nothing can beat this. Even when I'm on holiday somewhere tropical, I crave the food here. Manager is sooo friendly and accomodating. Waitress' are so nice and have beautiful personalities. The bar staff know how to make a damn good cocktail. Can't fault this place, it's been excellent for years!

One of my favourite Thai restaurants in London! Not only is the food delicious and fairly priced, but the ambience is beautiful, perfect for both dates and groups, they also have a sweet outdoor area which is lovely in the summertime. The staff are very attentive, and it really feels like a luxurious experience without the price tag. And, if that wasn't enough, they have one of the largest, most creative, and fairly priced cocktail menus!

The whole experience at Yum Yums was excellent but at the end when I was paying the man at the till was quite offhand and abrupt with me. He continued to be difficult with other customers when they were paying. Lovely food and service overall.

I can't sing good faith give this place more than three stars because the food was weak compared to other Thai restaurants I visited. The side room we were in was slightly exposed to the cold and there was a draft. The waiters did try to make an effort to make our meal enjoyable though.

Had dinner here. Service was on point, not too much, just enough. Food was fresh and delicious and prici6was very good. Definitely worth a visit.

So- my good friend and sister comes here regularly as a treat - and we went for the first time. Great entrance , amazing decor , fantastic location and ambience was great. The staff - very welcoming , attentive and helpful . Based on these alone - location, ambience and staff - it’s 11 out of 10 . I was however disappointed with the portions as really dainty ; the noodles were my least favourite as beansprout overload and the sauce was just not for me. There was a very small pot of rice - which was ok. The Thai curry - I think that’s what it was - was really fresh and tasty . The pork thingy as well but my goodness - small portions Value for money ? We had the fixed menu for two , an additional portion of wings - and just water - and it came to a whopping £75 ! Paper table covers were not very appealing as I expected more but the decor made up for it. Would I go again ? Jury’s out on that one ; I am worried about affordability and this is not for commoners like me - lols. Can’t thank the staff enough though for the hospitality.

Lunch on Christmas Eve is a family tradition. The service is excellent and the staff are very good with babies and young children. The food is excellent. I tried the green curry this time which was subtle in coconut flavor. It was a excellent choice.

Love this place. But PLEASE think of a better system for delivery, it’s an insane amount of plastic!

Really nice place, you feel like you are in Thailand, the waitresses are kind and polite. Everything was beautiful, some details to be fixed (all just noticeable from other restaurant owner's eyes ). The food was delicious. The cover of the table should be in fabric instead of paper, the service has to match with the prices the food. Price x person range of 45 /50.

Tried the prawn soup, the prawn skewers, the vegetable spring rolls as starters which was good! The mains I tried was seabass, the salmon coconut curry and rice was tasty! For dessert I had tried the coconut roll with ice cream, the banana fritters with ice cream and the chocolate fondant melting pudding with ice cream! Great food and experience would definitely come again you should all go too!

Lovely staff, food, price point & decor. Enjoyed the experience

Expensive food… and it’s definitely not that authentic. Service was slow and it’s a very loud environment. Odd interior design of the toilets. Would not return again.

Just went for cocktails. Luckily Rash, the main bartender/mixologist supreme was working. Mixed up an off menu peach brandy cocktail with a dash of elderflower liqueur - like the most amazing subtle peach ice cream. Sublime. Also had a chilli Margherita. Top quality Patron tequila and all fresh ingredients made it such a clean moreish drink which heated up as it went down. Don't ever waste your time with pre-mixed cocktails, come to this bar to taste the real thing.

Yum yum restaurant celebrated Happy birthday atique choudhury Bai mother food was sow nice

What a beautiful restaurant. Outside and indoor seating is spacious and well maintained. The restaurant is a quiet space with high quality food and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit. The building of the restaurant means that there is always space and the menu is easily ordered to share dishes.

I haven't dined here in ages so it was nice to return. I've always liked the food here and I enjoyed my meal on this visit. This is the first time dining here since becoming vegan. I was delighted to see the options they had and how clearly labelled the menu was. I was also able to request a cocktail to be made vegan friendly. The front of house staff was warm and friendly. The general service on the night was a bit slower than what I remember but those serving our meals were nice and friendly which is always great. I look forward to returning and won't leave it so long next time. I have to add, the tofu dishes I ordered were really nice. The salt and pepper Tofu and the Thai red curry with Tofu was flavoursome. I didn't have dessert as like with many places, the main vegan option is usually sorbet. This isn't my favourite, but they had a good selection of other things for people without any dietary requirements.

The quality of the food doesn’t meet the expectations at all. We had some different meals delivered and it was absoluely untasty. Definitely overrated.

Excellent Authentic thai food Lovely sensation cocktail

My first supper there was brilliant great food and ambience, loved the cocktails. Second time was appalling. Food was terrible, forgot that I asked for no egg as I have an allergy, they replaced the dish but the rest of the food was tasteless and lacklustre, a complete 360 from my previous visit. Disappointing as I was quite excited to return. Also noticed that the fish dish I ordered was the same as another reviewer on here and my sauce looked more like yellow ketchup! Also seriously overpriced.

Had a great night of good food and drink! Deserve more stars 🌟🌟

Lovely people and delicious food.

A little pricey but good overall

We came for my birthday last minute and had the set menu. Delicious food, 241 mocktail drinks and a lovely birthday fondant. Service was great and staff friendly and professional. Really cool seating on the floor and authentic feel without being cheesy

had a lovely time the aesthetic is great the toilets are lovely the waitress knew exactly what she was talking about and banging food

This is hands down my favourite date night spot. SUNDAYS and WEDNESDAYS is happy hour all day, so you get 2 for the price of 1 on selected cocktails. The food is so hearty and filling that we always start with the soft shell crab. The 5 rum punch is punchy and will get you drunk if you're not careful. The staff are so lovely we are returning customers and have made friends with the waitresses so its a joy to see them. The service is always hospitable and welcoming they do go above and beyond to give the very best experience. The atmosphere is so lovely you definitely forget where you are when you're inside, they have floor seating with fish nearby. There are also tables and chairs, a cozy bar area and outdoor intimate seating. Overall a venue to suit every occasion

Very tasty and delicious food. Warm Thais’ authentic restaurant

Yum Yum is a family favourite. We tend to go on special occasions, staff are always attentive and accommodating. Food is always served promptly and they are always willing to add a bit more rum to my punch. So 5 stars it is haha.

Just popped in for a takeaway and couldn’t fault anything. Great service, excellent food, will definitely be reserving a table soon as it looked equally nice inside.

This place is a jewel in Stokey. Really proud because it was started by an ex-Clissold Parker. Been going for 43 years now and it has developed beautifully over that time. Great cocktails!!!

Hidden gem! Shout out to the really kind server, thank you for being so patient with me and double checking on the vegan options. Will definitely be back.

Delicious food, friendly staff, lovely restaurant. Celebrated my birthday there and would definitely go back!

Such an interesting experience - there’s a variety of seating options - I found this really funny because you can sit on the floor but they have the provision where it sinks into the floor so you’re comfortable. WILD ! They also have a happy hour which was one of the main reasons we visited. The staff were super friendly and the decor was beautiful. I ordered the three sauce fish - which was not my favourite Thai dish ever, my friend had the pad Thai which she recommends.

Great place to eat ,the food is out of this world & friendly staff 10/10

Yum yum have been there for most of my life celebrations. They catered for my house warming party in the 1990's....many of my children's birthdays and my wife's memorial. Fantastic food service and people!

The staff were nice about a delay serving us, but the food was probably the most disgusting I've ever eaten in a Thai restaurant, and I've been to some bad ones!

everything went well, only the service wasn't the best, we returned a dish saying it had no taste and the waitress was rude to us, plus we even paid for it! we will return because it is a nice place. Nice atmosphere

We are outside with fairy lights above us, great food at a reasonable price and amazing service by Rash. He was incredibly attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu.

Modern Thai dishes with amazing flavour. Nice buzzing bience. Loved every dish and the front of house Amrit looked after all our allergens to the final detail. We will be back again

The food was absolutely delicious and the customer service was amazing! They were extremely welcoming and kind. Would definitely come here again. The atmosphere was also nice and relaxing, you can either sit at a table with chairs or sit at a table on the floor which I thought was a cool way to eat.

Great food and very well priced.

The male 'host' was unprofessional and very unwelcoming. The attitude of the host really let Yum Yum down as the serving staff and food were lovely.

Absolutely disgusting food :( chicken over cooked to the point my dog didt even want to eat it and spat it out also the pad thai only had 5 Prawns and it was so sour as if the noodles were out of date absolutely disgusting worst Thai food I have ever had :(

Went for cheap cocktails which were ok. The Mrs overdid it and got pretty hammered later

Very accommodating staff, super friendly. Lovely atmosphere and a vast menu. Drinks were spot on too.

Stokey staple really, consistently great Thai food

I have been coming to YumYum's for nearly 30 years - Having followed them through several venue changes over the years due to their absolutely wonderful food. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with tasteful decor suitable for any occasion from lunch with friends to a meal for a birthday or anniversary. Cocktails are always a must and the team are always on hand to ensure you're looked after and not left wanting throughout the meal. I would highly reccomend the restauraunt and in many cases this is the best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand. Stand out dishes include the Massaman and Chicken with Cashews as my personal favourites however nothing in My experience has been less than excellent. Even having moved out of the area I still visit whenever possible and get takeaway frequently without any issue - I would however say that if you've never been you should visit the restauraunt in person for the full experience and best food quality although I've never had any quality issues when ordering for delivery!

Halal Lovely decor, pleasant atmosphere (Cabanas outside if you're drinking, restaurant inside). Staff/waitresses were very friendly.

I ordered a takeaway of red Thai curry and Pad Thai. Sadly, the food was bland, and the curry had a funky smell.

Absolutely LOVED IT! I went for my birthday and it was amazing as always!! All my guests enjoyed their meal too 😋

Ordered a takeaway. Delivered by UberEats. One of the ordered (and paid for) items was not in the delivery. Called the restaurant. Spoke to the kitchen manager who, despite the delivery bag being thoroughly sealed on arrival and the item clearly therefore not put into the delivery bag, insisted that it had been and that therefore I needed to complain to UberEats and get my refund through them. How about taking responsibility for your own product and service, Yum Yum? You cook it, you put in the bag, you seal it therefore clearly the item wasn't put in the bag, and therefore it's down to you to satisfy the customer rather than blaming it on a third party. Won't be using or going to Yum Tum again. Very disappointing.

Awesome food with a great selection to choose from.

Amazing cocktails, food is delicious and not prohibitive ££ wise. Really nice setting too.

My experience there was good but when I get home I stool all through the night and in the morning. I am sure is the way their food is been prepared I have a sensitive stomach.

When the food arrived it was luke warm as if it were sitting for a while before it was brought to our table. Due to this fact it wasn't long before the food was totally cold. I ordered a ginger chicken which came with substantial pieces of ginger which was bitter to taste which made the overall dish unpleasant to eat, along which that my chicken fried rice lacked flavour. It was disappointing because the service was good but the food needs improvement along with timing in which it is served. Food meant to be hot shouldn't be severed luke warm or cold.
