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!!”

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!

We recently had Yum Dum truck at a staff outing and were absolutely blown away! The food was DELICIOUS and the staff and service we received was amazing. They even prepared some specialty vegan options to make sure our team was accommodated. We will definitely be using them again!

They were doing a promo with TikTok at Loyola University Chicago so it was free and it was so delicious that it is my new favorite Chicago Food Truck.

“Omg kimchi fries and pork belly steamed bun.”

Omg kimchi fries and pork belly steamed bun. This food truck is fabulous! Flavorful and the kimchi isn't overpowering. If you love kimchi in the traditional sense I would not recommend them, but if you just want to dip your toes in some kimchi I highly recommend it.

I tried this truck today at a spot near my office- behind the Prudential building- on E Randolph. I had the $10 dumpling selection with a drink . Meal came with 6 chicken Thai dumplings and 4 spicy cheese rice balls. Both were great but those rice balls were the favorite. Also came with this weird chop/fork so you can eat your dish either way. it was nice for a easy lunch that is not too filling. Food service was quick despite 5 other orders before mine. I will be back to try the Bao sandwich next time!!

“NOTE: This review for Yum Dum is based on my experience at Yum Dum's concession stand at the Taste...”

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.

“This place is pretty darn good, very deserving of its 4.5 star rating, that’s right where I would put it at.”

This place is pretty darn good, very deserving of its 4.5 star rating, that’s right where I would put it at. I got a Bao sampler platter with sesame noodles. I was surprised to find out that the sesame noodles was a pasta salad instead of a hot dish but it was still really flavorful. The shrimp bao was my favorite, really tasty sauce. The chicken on the chicken bao was a little dry but still- really yummy sauce and veggies and the pork belly Bao was well cooked and prepared but just not my favorite flavor. Overall tho, this place was excellent. I just finished my dish and I’m already ready for more! This Dum was VERY Yum!

“They provided food for the staff at Hooper Elementary School today for Staff Appreciation Week.”

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!!
