Eddie Yum's, situated at 4405 S Capitol St SW in Washington, DC, is quickly becoming a staple for Chinese cuisine enthusiasts in the area. Patrons rave about the mouth-watering dishes, highlighting items like the fried Jumbo Shrimp, which a customer describes as "the truth!" The restaurant prides itself on fast service, making it a convenient option for those craving a delicious meal.
However, a few concerns have surfaced among diners. A common grievance is the cash-only discount policy, which leaves some customers feeling frustrated, particularly when it comes to obtaining its famous General Tso Chicken. As one reviewer pointed out, the food is "AWESOME," but the experience can be marred by difficult customer service. While some patrons enjoy the ambiance, others express that the staff’s attitudes could use improvement.
Despite these critiques, the consensus on the food quality is undeniable: it’s consistently praised as some of the best in DC. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or planning a takeout feast, Eddie Yum's promises a delightful culinary experience that many believe is worth the visit.

ONLY DOWN SIDE IS NOT using your credit/bank card if your order is more than 40, they only give you that FREE General Tso Chicken or ANYTHING for that matter when you pay in CASH... that’s some BS! I stopped ordering from them for a while over it.. but the food is AWESOME!

The food is outstanding but the customer service has been an issue for awhile. I hate to go further out for good food and appreciative service I will. This place knows it is a nice place in the hood but the stank attitudes need to be buried

Fast service, and the fried Jumbo Shrimp is the truth! Be sure to ask for plenty of cocktail sauce though

Better than your typical carryout. They don't have a few sauces to make dishes I enjoy..ie no black bean sauce, no oyster sauce, no five spice.....regardless great food. Fresh wings, good fries, fried rice is cooked all the way, no undercooked grains of rice. Shrimp are cleaned. Fresh ingredients. Real restaurant quality, medium grain, steamed rice was the biggest surprise to my meal. Flavorful and non greasy egg rolls. I now visit atleast once a week while at work.

I LOVE this place. My husband stumbled upon it one day, and we have just been coming back to ever since. The food is cheap and delicious! The staff are friendly. And I think they get a lot of flack that they don’t deserve from other customers. Keep in mind what part of town your in.

I have never had a bad experience here. Although the food costs are similar to area carryout, the taste and service can't be denied
