Yumacha Chinese in West Bridgford

17 Central Ave, West Bridgford, Nottingham NG2 5GQ

About This Pub

Ah, Yumacha – it's one of those places in West Bridgford that I've heard mates rave about for its brilliant Chinese grub and cracking cocktails. From what I've gathered, the food really steals the show; imagine tucking into something like that juicy pork loin or a well-stuffed bento box that's just spot on every time. And don't get me started on the drinks – those cocktails are divine, especially with deals that make it easy on the wallet. The vibe is super relaxed too, whether you're popping in for a quick lunch or settling in for a proper evening. But, and I say this as a friend who's all about keeping it real, it's not perfect. Some tables are a tad pokey, and that can lead to staff missing you now and then, which is a bit frustrating when you're trying to enjoy your meal. Plus, a couple of folks have shared stories about unfriendly service that left them feeling a bit put out. Still, with its popularity and those special menus, it's worth a go if you book ahead – just go in with an open mind and you'll likely have a great time.

This was my third visit, here. We booked a couple of weeks ahead, as the place gets very busy on Friday nights and over the weekend. Unfortunately, we were allocated a rather pokey table in the corner, so were overlooked by staff a fair bit in the beginning, and had to ask to be brought the cocktail and food menus. However, the cocktails were great (always have been) and the food arrived relatively prompt after ordering. Our staff member, Arron was a delight and definitely made up for the shortfalls earlier in the evening. He made some suggestions as to our order, and seemed very happy to entertain and have a bit of friendly banter. There was a music act later in the evening, which was a nice addition, but proved to be a little loud as the singer was situated so close to our table, hence making conversation tricky. Will definitely be returning again, but most likely on a week night, when quieter.

Me and my friend went there for a coffee and from the start we felt unwanted and disrespected by staff members. Firstly we were refused a table by the window, which was empty for the whole time we stayed there. Members of staff weren’t friendly or welcoming, we had that impression they wanted us to leave. Waiting time for hot drinks was over 20 minutes, even they weren’t busy. Price for a coffee (very average coffee) was about £5, more expensive than in the most places with much better customer service. What a nightmare!

A real treat, book in advance as they are fully booked always, but worth the wait great prices. Food is 10/10 cocktails 🍸 2 for £12

I really love this spot. The pork loin is divine! So juicy, so delicious, and so tender. 😋 The lychee cocktail is **muahhhh**💋

Table of four, for a celebration. Starters and bento boxes were excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive. A perfect amount of food and not incredibly expensive either. Will eat again. EDIT: Did eat again, still excellent food and service.
