Since day one · Selly Oak

Small kitchen.
Serious wok.

Mr Yummy has been feeding Birmingham students, night-shifters and homesick regulars from a tiny counter on Bristol Road — one honest, filling bowl at a time.

What the regulars order,

Slow-simmered beef in a five-spice broth over hand-pulled noodles.

The place

A little counter, a big reputation.

Blink twice on Bristol Road and you'll miss it. Inside, a handful of tables, an open kitchen, and one of the most quietly respected Chinese menus in the West Midlands.

We cook the way we cook at home — noodles hand-cut, rice fried hard and fast, tofu treated with patience. Nothing sits under a heat lamp. You wait, we cook, you eat.

"The best value lunch in Selly Oak. The beef noodles and cumin beef are consistently delicious — and the staff are incredibly kind."

Student-friendly, about £8 a dish and will fill your tummy. We had Singapore fried rice and mince pork noodle — loved the taste.

Nice food and efficient service — only waited 10 minutes. Small place that serves great food with a free bowl of soup.
