Reviews for Yummefy Asian Restaurant in Birmingham, AL
Good food, terrible customer service. I'd like to note that this was my third time in the restaurant, and it will be my last. ... When I arrived, the only other customers were already sitting at a table and eating. I was quickly seated. The woman whoseated me didn't take my drink order. I sat there for about five minutes, being the *ONLY* customer who had not been waited on,when two more guests came in. They were also seated. About five minutes after that, the man who was working in the front wentover and took the orders of the two men and got their drinks to them. This entire time, the woman was repeatedly moving acrossthe dining area, completely ignoring me. At that point, two more guests came in and the woman promptly went to the front togreet them. It was at that point I got up and walked out. I've never seen service this terrible, and I will never go into thisrestaurant or order their food ever again. Read more
*Really* good food here; my first experience was a takeout order and, once home, the food was fantastic! Ordered two orders of... the Spicy Drunken Noodles (one tofu, one chicken) and both were delicious! Also ordered a veggie dumplings but discovered oncehome that they were pork; so lesson carried over from placing takeout orders from any other restaurant - def. check your foodbefore leaving (even with it bagged and stapled shut). Despite the order error, definitely looking forward to eating hereagain, maybe next time in-restaurant. Casual atmosphere, easily locatable - parking *might* be a bit of a challenge depending onwhen you go. ???????? Read more
I do understand how difficult it must be to offer good food AND good service. This place has decent food but the customer... service is TERRIBLE. I can?t deal with employees with bad attitudes, it overshadows good food every time. I came in to pick upan online order, upon entry I was not greeted, nor acknowledged. I sat behind the counter patiently for a few minutes before Idecided to walk to the bar and tell them I had an online order. That?s when the little man exploded on me and pointed for me togo wait in the waiting area. I understand the policies, there is still a way to talk to people no matter the situation. Youcan?t talk to grown men like they?re children. If you want people to wait in the front, have someone to greet them at the front,or at least acknowledge guest who enter and tell them you?ll be right with them. I ended up coming back in to get soy sauce formy to go order, the little man did not seem happy that I asked for it. The little man in the photograph with the cap had arepugnant attitude and he?s the reason I cannot visit this establishment again. Read more
One of my favorite Asian restaurant in Birmingham downtown where you can get some authentic spicy food. I would highly recommend... Spicy Mountain Noodles, Chicken Korma and Tikka Masala. Read more
A delightful experience for Sunday lunch, served by the owner. Delicious food! Coconut soup was simple and satisfying. Edamame... was perfectly crisped. The special of the day was flavorful, with three levels of heat offered. Many curries and chicken kormafeatured. Also sampled the kimchi; well-spiced! Enjoyed strawberry Mochi for dessert. Sipped the boba tea. Definitely willreturn. Read more
I have visited this establishment 3 times and each time I had no issues. Food was hot and fresh. I drove back to my home over... 80 miles away after a doctor's appointment and the food was still ????. Read more
I was excited to support this small business as a small business owner myself, but unfortunately several progressively worsening... issues led me to write this review. When I looked for a nearby Thai Restaurant to try Yummefy came up with good reviews anddecent plant based menu options. I ordered some spicy noodles with Tofu through the stated ?preferred? ordering platform ofPostmates/Uber per their Google Business page. When I arrived at the restaurant and picked up my order the gentlemen at thefront, apparently the owner, chastised me and told me I was ?hurting his business? by ordering through the platform. He told meto call or order through his website. I understand how these platforms take large cuts from restaurants as I work in this spacefrequently, but his approach to educating his customer base to help him could be much better and also he could keep hiscommunity engagement platforms updated so they aren?t using supposed ?preferred? platforms if they aren?t what serves hisbusiness best. I wished that was the worst of it. Upon enjoying my lunch I found not only a piece of shrimp in my vegetariandish, but an uncleaned piece of shrimp at that. From the unsanitary and irresponsible food safety issues to the poor customerservice, this was an undoubtedly unpleasant experience. I would highly suggest the owner take heed of these issues and fix themwhile restaurants are under so much scrutiny and troubles in this time we live in. Read more
Excellent place to eat. All the food was awesome and flavorful. The service was quick and friendly. Atmosphere was very nice,... with some light music in the background. All the food came in disposable to go style bowls so I could just take what I didn'tfinished and go. Excellent place, don't second guess, just go here. Read more
