We used Yum Dum for our wedding and they totally crushed it! We heard for days after how guests enjoyed the kimchi rice balls and the dumplings - it was super easy to manage and we loved all the options Yum Dum had to offer, would highly recommend. Service was top notch
Absolutely killer!!! Tried the YumDum Truck at the Apple Fest in Ravenswood and wish I had ordered way more. Their baos are top notch — the Korean Fried Chicken bao in particular… I could eat 20 of them. Perfect crunch, with slaw and sauce that balance everything perfectly. And those cheesy kimchi balls? Chef’s kiss. Crispy, gooey, and packed with flavor. Super friendly staff and fast service too. Can’t wait to track them down again — easily one of the best food trucks in Chicago!
Amazing soup dumplings at Taste of Chicago! (Fried chicken could’ve used more sauce though).
They provided food for the staff at Hooper Elementary School today for Staff Appreciation Week. What a treat for our staff members! The food was delicious. Many staff members were talking about how happy they were with their Vegan/Vegetarian options. The tofu, my friend ate, and she was super impressed with the crispiness the crust provided. I partook in the fish and shrimp option and I was thoroughly impressed and full! We both had opted for the sesame noodles which were excellent. Highly recommend hiring for appreciation days or corporate events!!
NOTE: This review for Yum Dum is based on my experience at Yum Dum's concession stand at the Taste of Chicago on 09/07/2024. I had the Korean fried chicken bites. 3/5. It was underwhelming. No real taste. But the main thing was the lack of sauce. It was drizzled on there. The bites were a little dry without the sauce. More sauce was needed. The bites were a little too hard for my satisfaction. I'm not sure if they were fresh or not, but it didn't taste like it. Service was great. Very friendly representatives. They were playing good music and creating a party vibe. Always nice to have.
