This restaurant was ok but not the best, I ordered coconut rice and a beef stir fry. The coconut rice was way too overpowering for me I had to return it and exchange it for an egg fried rice. The scenery however was amazing. To see more about this restaurant visit my blog. http://Www.temitastes.com temitastes.com
Great food, beautiful ambience, a real gem in such an unlikely neighbourhood. I had the Pad Ke-Mao which was nice and spicy, loved the flavours and lucky for us it was happy hour so two Mocktails for the price of one; winning!
One of my favourite local places to go for dinner is Yum Yum, a well known Thai restaurant in Stoke Newington. It was on Gordon Ramsays F Word awhile ago, competing for the nations best local Thai. Their signature dish is the Mussaman Curry- which I can whole heartedly recommend! Youll find Yum Yum on Stoke Newington High Street, in a huge townhouse set behind some iron gates. It looks like someones house and not a typical restaurant. Inside, however, is massive! Its actually a tardis.Theres a sunken seating area, where you have to take your shoes off and get comfy on a cushion and I love it! This time round, we sat at normal tables as that section wasnt open yet. Boo. I consoled myself with a passionfruit mojito and Tiger beer. Im not usually a beer drinker, but if I do, its Tiger beer all the way! It brings back memories of hot, sunny days and the beach growing up. Onto dinner! We ordered soft shell crab and golden bags for starters. Im a fiend for soft shell crab- its just a shame sometimes it looks like deep fried spiders, but honestly its delicious. Im not really a fan of the deep fried goldenbags, Id prefer them steamed, but Robin enjoys them. For dinner, we shared steamed sea bass and grilled duck with sweet and sour sauce with a side of garlicky morning glory. The food is great, the service friendly and the cocktails are lethal. If that doesnt sway you, maybe the fairy lights and topless statues outside will? A dinner for two will cost around 60- more if youre on the booze. They also do takeaways that you can order online. Its such a pretty venue, Id say give it a visit and ask for a seat at a sunken table! theawkwardblog.com
Yum Yum is a great Thai restaurant that has been around for many years. It is set in a listed Georgian period building and is massive in size. Yum Yum has many different dining areas, including a section where diners can sit on floor cushions and eat from knee-high tables and also features private dining rooms. The interior decor is both chic and contemporary and Yum Yum has a cool suave vibe about it. The eatery has a good cocktail bar and a rather large wine cellar. Yum Yum holds regular Jazz evenings in one of its lounges and periodically holds special Thai events for its diners. These can be a pleasant surprise and often turn the evening into more of an event than just a meal. There is an extensive menu and the quality of the dishes varies from good to very good, with one or two star dishes as well. This can be surprising as sometimes Yum Yum is extremely busy, having 300 covers, and yet they still manage to generally maintain the overall good quality of their dishes. The waitering staff are also generally very friendly and eager to please. I have eaten here many times overs the years and below are some of my favourite dishes. Crispy Soft Crabs, Hot Wings, Beef Paneng Curry, Chicken Ginger (Stir-fry with Mushrooms), Lamb Mussaman Curry – served with Pumpkin and Potatoes (my favourite dish), Lobster Pad Prik Pao(Whole lobster stir-fried with chilli oil, soya sauce and oyster sauce), Pla Choo Chee(Whole Sea Bass cooked in a creamy red curry sauce) and the Squid with Chilli and Basil Leaves. Yum Yum always reminds me of my favourite Thai holiday resorts and makes me dream of my next far-eastern holiday. If you love Thai food, I think that you will love Yum Yum. Halal.
I do like this place with the choice of sitting normal or floor seats. over the years i feel this place has got bussier and they started loosing there touch with food. My recent visit was a little disappointing. Ordered mexed seafood rice and lacked flavour and seasoning. It almost tasted like the seafood hadnt been cooked and just placed on the rice. The starters were amazing so cant fault it all.
Wasn’t too impressed and this was my second time going. I liked one starter but other then that I feel I get better food from my local take away. Really nice venue but food needs to be just as good as it’s surroundings because you don’t go to eat up the atmosphere.
An excellent that resturant; no more no less & great value too!
