Yummy House

• I love the food and the decor at Harvey Lo's Yummy House...it is definitely worth a visit. There's not many of these old style Chinese restaurants left in Windsor. Most of them have been redecorated and have "updated" decor. Back in 2006, Harvey Lo and his wife were extremely kind to loan items (decorations, their lectern, tables, etc.) for Montreal-based artist Karen Tam for her exhibition "House of Wong" at Artcite. Also, have you visited House of Lee on Pelissier St.? Definitely worth a visit.

• It's pretty good. I had a friend refer me and I took a date there. Well priced. I spent, I think $12 total for both. Defenitely try it.

  I haven't been to the House of Lee though. Overpriced and I haven't heard any good reviews from my friends to justify it.

• Best hot and sour soup in the city. I believe that they have not been here the entire 29 years . Seem to recall that Harvey started out on the west end of University in a much smaller location. Unique decor to say the least. Reminds me of Chinatown eateries in Chicago. Worth the visit just for a big bowl of hot and sour soup.

• HARVEY USE TO TEACH COOKING CLASSES AT HIS RESTAURANT YEARS AGO AND WAS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR UNUSUAL INGREDIANTS TO MAKE SOMETHING NEW..MY EX BORDER USED TO TAKE THE CLASSES & WOULD BRING A DOGGY BAG OF WHAT EVER THEY MADE THAT SUNDAY.HE ALWAYS TOLD HOW DOWN TO EARTH HARVEY WAS & LOVED TAKING THE CLASSES. I WENT A FEW TIMES TO HIS RESTAURANT AND ALWAYS ORDERED THE HOT & SOUR SOUP !!!! HARVEY IS TRULY AN AREA TREASURE !!!!

• Amazing, chinese food is authentic here (aside fromt he fortune cookies they give you). My parents always got food from them and we loved it. I eat more often at different cuisines like The Mini or Indian food (asian is awesome!) but that is because my parents ate chinese so often, it's not as much of a treat. If you are in the mood for chinese, this is definitely the place to go!! Prices are extremely reasonable especially for pickup or cash (or something - I remember some type of discount is standard).

• wouldn't it be nice, if he took off those boards and opened the windows back up.

• Awesome website BTW, been looking for over a couple years, this is my first time commenting. Well done, you deserve an award - well, I guess you already got one, some kind of monetary award. My grandfather attended a church and was there taking pictures from the day they broke ground. Problem is, they are on slides I think. Church is Our Lady of Perpetual Help. I'll see if there are photos I can scan in. thanks for your great service.

• Craig,

  Thanks, and welcome to the site!

  As for those photos, if they are slides, that's ok, I can scan them too. If you're not able to scan the slides, let me know and if you could lend them to me, I can get them scanned.

• I haven't eaten there in about 6 years but it wasn't bad. I was going there off and on since about 1989 but the food was sometimes hit and miss.
  Old style Chinese decor inside as indicated above. They serve both N. American Chinese (chicken balls and that stuff) along with what I consider the real Chinese food (excluding the beetles and larvae).

• I've eaten there once. It was fine. Everybody seems to have a favourite Chiunese restaurant, pizza place, etc. Harvey Lo's was the favourite of an instructor I had for some course somewhere and we had our final wrap session there. For many years I lived near the University and if you want good, authentic Chinese . . . .
