BEST Chinese place in TOWN! We love YoYo’s cafe, and never order anywhere else anymore. We normally order delivery or pickup, but we want to dine in soon! The food is great, service is outstanding. We always look forward to our order, always good and fresh!

Diner Review №10

Really excellent service, quick food and very affordable. I love the combination lo mein. The atmosphere is great and you get lot of food, enough for leftovers.

Diner Review №11

I wasn’t familiar with the area. Kind of just chose it based on being close to a place that I needed to return to shortly. A friend, and I decided to come here in hopes that there was something unique about this place and wanting to return but the food was just basic not really flavorful and the fried rice that was part of my meal was just that a small bowl of white rice added with soy sauce very bland. I didn’t even finish my food. The atmosphere was kind of a lonesome feeling. They had a TV going with a children’s show the owners weren’t very attentive. I waited a while before getting a refill and we were the only two people in the restaurant at the time. Over all it was just okay. But,I wouldn’t return.

Always great food and service! The Singapore noodles are the Best!

Diner Review №22

Yo Yo's was a no no for me. Protein was not fresh_ just that simple! I let the manager know that the imitation crab had gone bad and could make some one sick. She said she had some for breakfast that morning and she thought it great_ just great! You can't make this stuff up!

Diner Review №26

Came here earlier this week with friends and ordered the chicken curry plate. There was no chicken on that plate! 😵‍💫. It was some kind of floppy tofu instead. Then the guy across the table from me who had ordered a different chicken plate also announced that his wasn’t chicken either! Why lie and call it chicken? Maybe have an “almost chicken” section instead?

Diner Review №27

Food is delicious and thank you for being open after the hurricane.

Diner Review №28

We only ever do delivery with this place. They are super quick to deliver, food is always HOT when arriving. Comparing to any other Chinese takeout I've had, this place is so good and far better! My husband and I love the curry fried rice and other curry dishes, whenever we call they already know our usual haha!

But my one and only complaint, which may need a lower star due to the severe damage it can cause someone else...anytime we order a rice dish, we will find staples in it occasionally. I'm unsure if it's because they have the food open when preparing the takeout order, but my husband and my father have come across that when eating and I'm only afraid for their safety if they were to bite done on that. Something the management needs to consider when creating procedures or safety on place for preparation.

Diner Review №39

First time ordering here. I.ordered for my husband and after eating it he started getting sick. He got food poisoning. My husband rarely gets sick too.He loves chinese food so I thought I would surprise him with Chinese food and then he gets food poisoning. It Messed up going anywhere for a few days.

Terrible food and terrible service!
The fried rice tasted like tv dinner fried rice
The Eggrolls had no flavor
Mongolian beef was bland and very tough

Diner Review №46

This is a new review I had to delete my old one to make a new one and the old one was my second or third! Every time I go there and pick up or have it delivered since I am a truck driver it is absolutely delicious! Very hot warm to eat and everything is exactly how I ordered it! The go out of their way to make sure that your order is correct. I had to order through doordash because when I called for their delivery the girl said they couldn't deliver there and she directed me to doordash so I proceeded to doordash and I called back to yo-yos because I wanted Chopsticks and hot mustard Etc with my meal and as soon as I called that girl said that my order was received and said it would be to me shortly and I inquired about the mustard and Chopsticks and she assured me absolutely well minutes later my mail arrived and it was exactly what it should be and I just can't say enough about this establishment and the folks that run it a very good feeling to have quality food and be treated like they no you! As long as it may sound I want to say thank you yo-yos! lol!

Diner Review №53

My first time to eat here and it was all great I m

Diner Review №54

Had the Gen Tso chicken and Thai veggies. It was horrible. Bland. Over cooked. I have never tasted anything like it before. I ordered delivery, but that should not take away from the taste. We didn't even eat half. The portions were also really small for what we paid. Literally, have the stink face right now. I normally leave positive reviews even when slightly dissatisfied.

Diner Review №55

Yummy food.

Diner Review №56

Diner Review №62

I love the food here and every time I come to town, I make it a point to eat at YoYo's. The garlic shrimp is the best around. However, last night, my sister and I were the only 2 people in there at the time and were just finished eating and in the process of paying. (It was not closing time, approximately 7:30 p.m. or so.) The manager decided at that time to start mopping the floors with a strong chemical that triggered me to have an asthma attack, which started me coughing, gagging, and vomitting my entire meal. I had to rush outside for fresh air! Such a shame and such a waste of money which all could have been avoided had he waited 3 to 5 minutes. It ruined our otherwise lovely meal. Owners should be more cognizant of their customer's needs and wait to clean until AFTER the establishment is empty if they are going to use such strong chemicals to do so. Prior to this, we have never had a problem in there with the delicious food or service and I would have rated them 5 stars.

Diner Review №65

We love the salt and pepper shrimp! The vegetable fried rice is good too. So far, that’s all we’ve tried but we’ll be back to try out more of YoYo’s menu!

Diner Review №66

Very good food. Owners take a lot of pride and also very clean.

Diner Review №67

Always super clean fast and tasty plus the prices are fair for the portion.

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

It's okay! Try it! Fast service!

Diner Review №70

Diner Review №71

I got the Amazing Chicken and was pleasantly surprised by the included veggies. I recommend adding hot oil sides (very affordable) for extra flavor and spice.

Diner Review №72

Chicken wings/tempura shrimp/egg drop soup were delicious! Affordable prices. Ordering online was quick and easy. I will be ordering again soon!

Diner Review №73

Very cordial and accommodating. Saw I walked w a cane and offered to walk my food to the car for me. Food is consistent.

Diner Review №74

I like the chinese food here. Usually I place my order ahead and it ready within those 10 minutes. Now that's fast service and they serve a lot of food.

Diner Review №75

Heard they have a great cook! Live in Albuquerque, plan on eating there soon! Good food!

Diner Review №76

Diner Review №77

The food was great, Mr. YoYo is doing a great job, thank you.

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

Diner Review №80

Unfortunately I was not satisfied

Diner Review №81

I've been here a dozen or so times. Some dine in, some take out. Service has always been quick, food is blazing hot, and tastes outstanding. Plenty of variety on the menu .

Diner Review №82

Diner Review №83

I have never actually been inside the restaurant but I have ordered for delivery twice period and the food. Is excellent and you get so much for what you pay period so it's more than worth the price any time I order. I get enough for 2 or 3 days. And they'll deliver within 5 miles for $15. So for 15 to $20. I have enough food to last 2 or 3 days. Or to share with someone and the food again is the best around.

Diner Review №84

First and last time food was bad taste old and the rice was disgusting 🤮 never again 50 $ down the drain

Diner Review №85

the soup is good

Diner Review №86

My “Go To” place for chicken or pork fried rice and jalapeño chicken!

Diner Review №87

I really loved the great service, and food.

Diner Review №88

The food is SO GOOD!! The restaurant looks very clean. The prices are really good!

Diner Review №89

The food and service were a big surprise. Well above normal. The best.

Diner Review №90

Second time we ate here very clean emaculate dine in experience. Food was right on point very fresh very delicious authentic Chinese food and cultural experience. Good potions had to take some home both times very generous portions .Absolutely 😋 Delicious!

Diner Review №91

There was hair in my orange chicken/fried rice lunch plate!!!! I called and let them know and they offered me another plate for free. I went and picked that plate up and tried a bite, the food was not fresh tasting and lacked any flavor. Staff was also rude while I got my new plate. Would not recommend this place.

Diner Review №92

First time dining here. The food, service and atmosphere was great! Visited on a Saturday evening, dine in was not busy but to go orders were hot!

Diner Review №93

I'm not exactly certain when it happened, but the portions here have become noticeably smaller than nearby options for the same price or more. If you order delivery... be prepared to be missing something. They've always delivered very quickly, but there are much better places for Chinese food nearby.

Diner Review №94

Ok food, ok service, ok price,

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

Absolute the best food , very friendly service

Diner Review №97

Clean restaurant and quality chinese food. As a vegan/ vegetarian, there were no lunch special options sadly. So I ordered from regular menu, vegetable spring roll(2) and Veggie low mien.

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

We have been enjoying food from yo-Yo's since the pandemic. Clean friendly and delicious food.

Diner Review №109

I’m going to give them one star, because my husband orders food last night , we order fried rice and chicken wings, but we didn’t get the food , we call them , but they told us that , there’s was nothing the can about it , they charge us 37 $ for nothing , we didn’t get the food , and we didn’t get our money back , they just say that the order got canceled

Diner Review №110

I come for the breakfast tacos and coffee. You get a good bargin for a good price.

Diner Review №111

Their food was OK. It was not bad just not what I was used to. Everyone else loved their food

Diner Review №112

Food is prepared very well. Service is great. Plan to return.

Diner Review №113

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Great food fast service and good prices

Diner Review №116

They tried to blame door dash for taking crab puffs out of our bag that door dash delivered stapled shut, instead of admitting they may have forgotten to let them in bag. They told me to call door dash 😒

Diner Review №117

It is always a pleasure to visit this restaurant. The service is great, the food is delicious (hot, freshly prepared and ready in the time as told to me. Sometimes even earlier...) and the prices are very affordable.
Great place to meet for lunch or to grab a quick takeout meal if you're in a hurry.

Diner Review №118

Only place we order from! Chicken wraps are the best!

Diner Review №119

I swear it’s been so hard to find good chinese takeout in Houston. This spot is solid. Definitely reminds me of NYC Chinese (not quite but as close as you’re gonna get in Houston). Too bad we don’t live nearby. But, will definitely continue to pickup food here when passing by. We ordered the Chinatown stir fry (so good) and my husband got orange chicken (he said this was so/so). I also got crab Rangoon. It tasted good but the cheese consistency was a bit off. Will give it another shot to see if it improves.

Diner Review №120

Delicious food, great service and fair prices. They offer delivery and always fast, food is always hot. We eat from here quite often. Restaurant is clean and staff is attentive when dining in. My family and I love this place.

Diner Review №121

Food was good the only reason why I’m leaving a one start is because the money that you tip doesn’t go the waiters it goes to the owners. That’s disgusting and wrong they deserve to get tipped based on their work ethic. I’m surprised they even work for you. Kind of had bad service but I don’t blame them.

Diner Review №122

Diner Review №123

I'll be back.

Diner Review №141

My " Go to Place" for Chinese food

Diner Review №142

We love Yoyo's! We order from here at least once a month. Their serving size is awesome. There's always enough for at least 2 meals, and my boys eat a lot. Delivery is always lightening fast, and the driver does a great job at making sure the order is correct. I would definitely recommend yoyos.

Called for pickup. Was in and out quick. Food was still hot when we got home! Food was really good and we also had leftovers! Will definitely come back. Highly recommend this place!

Diner Review №151

I've been trying different Chinese Restaurants around the area to find one that I like enough to return to for lunch. There are many in the area of my office and I've been ticking them off one at a time.
I ordered the L12 to go. General Tao's Chicken. For $8.95 ($9.70 after tax). This includes your choice of soup (I chose Hot & Sour). The soup was bland and had no taste of the vinegar that gives it the sour at all. Lunch also includes an Egg Roll and mine was soggy and missing that nice crunch you get when you bite into a properly cooked Egg Roll. Kudos to them for putting vegetables in the chicken dish, several chunks of Green & Red Pepper that the fork provide could not penetrate. There was also a small Jalapeno slice in there that didn't help with the flavor at all. The Chicken was cooked well and was tender but had zero flavor. The sauce was Sweet N' Sour Sauce and tasted like pineapple. Not the Generals Chicken. This was a very bland meal. The fried rice could have benefitted from some Green or any kind of Onion. It was rice and egg and nothing else whatsoever. Not that you could taste anyway.
The service was friendly and extremely fast and the restaurant was clean and pleasant. Unfortunately, my qwest for good Chinese food in the Deer Park/LaPorte area will continue. Mind you, I've been to Taiwan and had "real" Chinese, which is nothing like what you get in the states. But I just wish everywhere had the quality & flavor of Wong's on 518 in League City.

Diner Review №152

This little place is amazing. The food was HOT when it came out!
I had a General Tso's Chicken and also got a combination fried rice. Both were very good. Id eat here a lot if I lived here. But just stopped by while I'm here working 10 days.
This place was very clean!!! Like spotless clean!!! The service was great as well.
I'll probably be back before I leave town!!!

Diner Review №153

Diner Review №154

The amazing chicken was very good. Definitely a good dinner option and portion. The Hot and Sour Soup had a great ratio and portion of ingredients. The WonTon soup broth was flavorful and the wontons weren't all noodle. Very good place for Lunch or Dinner.

Diner Review №155

Good food, reasonable

Diner Review №156

The restaurant is always clean and everyone working there is always nice and helpful. The food is always great and full of flavor. Been there many times and also had it delivered. Delivery food has always been hot and in a timely manner.

Diner Review №159

We have been ordering from yo yo's for about 4 yrs. Everything is always great. We got some lo mein & shrimp. I had shrimp & fried rice. My wife got sick, throwing up, cramps all night. The next day we had to go to the emergency room she was still sick. Food poisoning. I called yo yo's they didn't even care. Won't ever go back to yo yo's.

Diner Review №169

Food was old and disgusting. First time getting the takeout and eating food from this place and was disappointed. 22 dollars wasted. And I ordered the soup asked and paid for extra crunchy things AND GOT NONE AT ALL. my orange chicken was disgusting like it was made yesterday and then microwaved and the rice was not fresh. Definitely will not recommend this place to anyone or ever get food from here again.

Diner Review №170

Diner Review №189

Diner Review №190

Hands down the worst americanized Chinese restaurant I've ever tried. I wrote the first experience off as "maybe this isn't normal"... the 2nd experience was even worse. Do not waste your money, this place is aweful

Diner Review №191

The worst pad Thai ever!!! I was wondering why my pad Thai was dripping, have you ever had soupy noodles? Not good, the noodles did not taste like pad Thai, the shrimp was either over cooked or old. The whole thing was a disappointment.

Diner Review №192

Diner Review №193

Awesome food here as well

I came to eat here for the first time and let me say i had the best service and the food was so delicious i will come back here for sure .

Great little place. Quiet with soothing background music and the best people.
