Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

If you have low standards for Chinese/Korean/Thai food, then Kum-Yon's is the place. Especially if you enjoy spending 9-10 dollars for the lunch "special", which is only a couple dollars cheaper than the dinner portions. Dry, dry, dry. The meat must have come from a food dehydrator. Odd taste, almost metallic, to the sauces and soup. The highlight of the meal will be not getting food poisoning.

I've been coming to Kum Yon's since I was a kid. It was the first place I ever had sushi (kappa maki and tekka maki with my dates before my 8th grade graduation dance), and is still one of my go-to places for lunch or dinner in Coos Bay. Don't ever make the mistake of thinking this is just another greasy, generic Chinese food spot. Their food is a huge step above that, with all original recipes and good quality ingredients. Kum Yon herself is just about the kindest woman in town, and always ensures that the service is excellent. The chef's special noodles is a personal favorite, and the sweet and sour chicken is definitely worth ordering just to remind yourself that it really can in fact be a delicious gourmet dish when done correctly. Highly recommended!

My family and I have been coming here since I was a little kid. This is, and will always be my favorite Chinese restaurant. As a kid I would always order the Mar Far Chicken, which are similar to chicken strips (very kid friendly) and I've had a few bites recently.. it was the same great taste. Now, I either get the Mongolian Beef or Lo-mein noodles with chicken. The Mongolian Beef is very tasty, and has a spice to it -- but it's not too spicy. Not for me or my family, anyway. The Lo-mein noodles remind me of a fancier version of Panda Express's Chow Mein -- and that's a GOOD thing because I love their Chow Mein. We sometimes order the potstickers as an appetizer.. those are really yummy too. Also, you really get your money's worth at Kum-Yon's. Not only because of the great flavors in the dishes, but the portions sizes are great! The staff is always friendly, and the tea is always really good.

Disgusting! I came here with my mother and my daughter. I ordered the bulgoki, it was greasy and made me feel ill. My mother ordered the beef lo mein which was greasy and tasteless. Overall the food was horrible, I will never go back.

I know this is Coos Bay, I know there isn't a large Asian population, I know this area us far from any big city with a large Asian population, but GAWD this place sucks on all levels. Where the hell to begin? You know service is bad when the "hostess" looks at you, continues doing what she was doing, then asks a minute later, "Can I help you?" "Uhhm, yes, I would like an oil change and tire rotation, that's why I came to an asian restaurant!" Next, the waitress decides to wait on the party that came in and was seated after me. Granted, they were regulars, but doesn't that somewhat alienate the new customers? The menu was all over the place. Combo dinners, a la carte, Korean, Japanese (mostly sushi), Chinese, and even American for those who don't want asian at an asian restaurant. The food was definitely a case of trying to please everyone, end up pleasing no one. I decided on the donburi, from the description, it sounded like oyako-don: chicken with eggs and vegetables over rice. How hard could it be to screw that up? I could not have been more wrong. I didn't recognize my donburi when it finally arrived. The waitress put down a bowl of soup in front of me. I thought maybe I they gave me an order of udon, I couldn't see any chicken, egg, or rice, just soup and vegetables floating on top. After taking a spoon to it, I did find some rice at the bottom (see pic). Going through the ingredients inside the bowl, there were tons of mushrooms, more mushrooms than chicken. The taste of the soup was indistinct, it wasn't beef broth, chicken broth, maybe vegetable broth. The vegetables were okay except for the red bell peppers. At least I think they were bell peppers, they were sour as pickles and made the soup taste terribly sour. The only bright spot about this restaurant is that they do not charge for hot tea.

We ate here on a whim and were very reluctant after having read the reviews. We were very pleased across the board with the freshness, quality and taste of the food. While it is very (tongue in cheek) "white people" Chinese food, it is worth trying and we'd totally try it again. Great, attentive service and green tea ice cream to end the meal.
(4)Jilda C.
Not bad, decent prices, the service was good too.

I am an adult now, and because I am an adult, I feel I should learn to become adventurous in my dining selections; after all, we are no longer knuckle-draggers with simple tastes. However, while the transition from childhood into adulthood has been successful in many regards, I find I am unable to evolve and grow fully into adulthood in at least one clear way: I cannot and will not stop ordering one of Kum Yon's most basic dishes, and my childhood favorite, Mar Far Chicken. That is all.
(5)Cathy K.
We always go here for my mom's birthday and we love it. The food is great and it doesn't break the bank. I look forward to going here every time I visit Coos Bay!!

I was part of a large group tonight during the early bird special time. The service was pleasant and efficient. The bulgogi (spelling?) was amazing! Price was fine it high or low. Atmosphere was alright. Total experience was just fine, not great, not bad. Just fine.
(3)Coastal G.
Very good egg flower and hot and sour soup.We dine here often and have only had a few bad meals. The Mar far chicken is good as well as the teriyaki chicken.As far as appetizers go they are all good. Our favorite is the egg rolls. The service has improved a great deal over the past few years.

There aren't many dining choices in Coos Bay, so many years after a sub-par meal here, we decided to give Kum Yon's a try again. We shouldn't have bothered . . . My husband ordered one of the 'early bird' specials of Kung Pao Chicken with Sweet and Sour Pork; I had Lemon Chicken and fried rice. My meal consisted of four thin slices - yes, four, for dinner - of dried out chicken in greasy breading with very little sauce and pork fried rice (not my choice) that tasted like the pork had gone over to the dark side. My husband offered some of his S &S pork to me as I couldn't eat my rice and was still hungry. It was awful, old and tough. Not only was the food inedible, it took an unusual amount of time to be served, and it was only 5:30 in the afternoon. How can it take a long time to serve food that isn't freshly cooked? To be fair, the hot and sour soup was passable, more hot (peppery) than sour though. My husband ate his Kung Pao, but it certainly was not the beautiful spicy dish he normally enjoys. When we went up to the front to pay, the hostess asked how our meal was. We said it seemed old and was practically inedible. I wish I had had a camera to capture the expression on her face . . . she didn't know what to say or do. It's really sad to have to pay ($9.95 for my husband, $8.95 for me) for really bad food and still feel hungry to boot. I think folks in Coos Bay must not have any idea what good food is . . . how can such mediocre fare be served for 16 years???

As a follow-up to the reviewer who disagreed with my previous (1/5/2012) review of Kum-Yons, first, thank you for your follow-up and, second, I decided to try Kum-Yon's again. It's very difficult to make Miso soup taste bad, but, somehow, this was accomplished. After only several sips, my mouth, lips and tongue were so slicked with grease that I think the taste will remain behind for days. Soup was served after my entree and the entree served cold. Sorry, but I stand by my earlier review. Entire meal was so greasy as to be inedible. I'm glad that you (other reviewer) are not having similar experiences and hope that continues for you. Sadly, I won't be eating at Kum-Yon's any more; I wish them all the best and thank them fondly for past meals that were good. But, sadly, there hasn't been a "good" meal there, at least for me, in quite some time.

I often use Kum-Yon's as a great location for business lunches. The food is always very fresh and consistent. The service is good and proportions large. Their salads are excellent as well. Wish they were open Saturday nights too.
(5)Lynda H.
Very good won-ton soup. More like a meal than an appetizer, and worth the money. Had the early bird dinners and they were meh.
(3)cindy b.
I would give this place a three based on a single visit with higher hopes on return trips. This place surprised and pleased me greatly. The other reviews didn't do the menu or the quality of the food justice, and neither does the name. It's a pan asian place and the one time I ate there, a weekend night, it was late and it was crowded. They weren't out of anything and what I had was good. Service was a bit slow but not annoyingly so. The owner knows what they are doing, clearly. The was the best food I had in town in a three day stay, although my restaurant selections were intentionally random.

Admittedly, I do not eat here often. Why? Primarily because it is not one of my hubby's favorite places in town, and quite honestly, I can generally make a choice I prefer as well. However... every once in a while I HAVE to go to Kum Yon's for lunch with a friend. There's something about the place I really love (from the outside to the inside). I'm nuts about the gorgeous landscaping near the entrance of the location, and always make it a point to enjoy it. Tastefully decorated and for lunch - the pricing is fine. We've tried to have dinner meetings in the back side of the restaurant but found it was just entirely too noisy to conduct business. It's a "safe" place to take most any newcomer in town. I've never really known anybody to hate KumYons. Most people actually really like it. As stated... I have to have it on occasion but it's rarely my first choice.

Stay away if you like Asian food. Kinda Korean, Kinda Japanese, all bad. First the positives, lots of seating and decent waitstaff. Wow that list was short. Now the bad: Food (detailed below), atmosphere (ate with a retired dude staring me down), menu(limited and not detailed), water (tasted like Freewilly took a squirt in it). We had ordered one of their family style dinners and we extremely underwhelmed. The BBQ pork was like pork jerky and tasted like...well nothing. Their house fried rice had shrimp in it and was extremely dry, not moist. My better half, allergic to seafood. She wished she had known about that part of the rice. And the final nail in the proverbial coffin. Their Chow Mein, if you can call it that, was really funky tasting and had the frozen mixed vegetable medley in it. You know the one with diced carrots, green beans and peas. For what we paid this was completely unacceptable. If you want real Asian food, drive, walk, swim if you have to up to Sumin's it is a short jaunt North. Trust me you will be glad that you did.

Good sit down Chinese! Reasonably priced- with decent service.
(3)Jo W.
I disagree with the other reviewer. KumYons is back on their top game. The food is excellent. The vegetables fresh and crisp. Never greasy. Service friendly and knowledgeable. We are regulars at least once a week. There was a short time about a year ago when there was a problem. I spoke with the manager and the problem was promptly rectified. That's what I call customer service.
(5)Alice H.
Stay away if you want good food. The meat portions in stir fry can be counted on one hand, dry, old. Vegetables over cooked, mush consistency, not fresh. Take out should be checked before leaving. Thai's Dynasty in North Bend worth the few minutes extra drive to get good oriental food.

Alas fellow Yelpers! I trusted your reviews and ended up in a bad bad trip back in time to the eighties, and a bad bad bad dinner! Where to start? The place, including the red and green textiles, the flamboyant decor and the candied cherry (and canned pineapple slice) in the orange chicken, is taken directly from the eighties' Chinese restaurant scene, when food in such places was more American than Chinese, presumably in an attempt to appeal to the "American taste". We ordered "family dinner" - generous portions of appetizers, orange chicken and Teriyaki chicken, fried rice and lo-mein noodles. Everything was somewhere along the range between "extremely oily" to "simply tasteless". We left plates full of food on the table, and astounded the waitress when we answered that "no, thanks, we will definitely not have this boxed for us". My, oh my. The fortune cookie at the end said that I should find the positive aspect in everything. Believe me, in the case of Kum-Yon's, I really tried. I just couldn't.
(1)Brooke B.
Super friendly lady at the front counter, took my order. I just got some broccoli with tofu and mushrooms - brown rice. Wasn't bad. No big deal. Much better than Momiji's.
(3)Jack W.
Jan 21, 2011 -- good service and reasonable prices. Brocolli beef was excellent. Cashew chicken was a little bland. Would eat here again on next visit to Coos Bay (visit 4 or 5 times a year).
(4)Candis W.
Comfortable delightful food, Kum Yon's
(5)R.A. P.
The priciest and the best of Coos Bay's Oriental joints. Parking can be a bit crowded when the place is packed. It's been around for a couple of decades and if you can keep a place going in Coos Bay that long, you're doing something right. Quantity and quality are both solid and you get what you pay for. If you want to see a madhouse, go there on Mother's Day...LOL! Heck, if enough people would take their mama out to eat there it must be a Good Place, so consider that as an endorsement. Even the service was decent during the huge rush of people.
(5)J M.
this place is definately "oriental." they've got japanese, korean, and chinese dishes. i wasn't expecting much from an asian restaurant in Coos Bay, OR but the bim bim bap wasn't bad. this place is pretty pricey for those from big cities who are used to cheaper prices. they've got the hardest working waitress working here, she was running around serving dishes, taking orders, refilling tea and water, and answering the phones for to-go orders.
