About Yami Yami: Dutch Asian Cuisine
The Dutch-Asian cuisine concept reflects Aruba’s Dutch colonial heritage β a cuisine style with deep roots in Holland’s Indonesian and Chinese restaurant tradition. The menu spans Chinese-American classics (orange chicken, hot and sour soup, fried rice combos), Indonesian dishes (nasi goreng, satay), and a sushi bar (open separate hours from the main kitchen). Special combos are designed for value β generous portions intended for sharing or takeaway. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM (closed Mondays). Note: the sushi bar typically closes earlier than the main kitchen β call ahead if sushi is a priority. Cash and card accepted.
Signature dishes & menu highlights
The Teriyaki Chicken is the consistent fan-favorite β well-seasoned, generous portion, perfect for the special combo plates. The Hot and Sour Soup is genuinely spicy (one of the spiciest renditions reviewers have encountered). The Orange Chicken with Fried Rice is a generous shareable plate. The Chicken Wonton Soup is mild but flavor-packed. For groups, this is the spot to come with 5β6 people and order a half-dozen dishes to share family-style. The Special Combos are excellent value for solo diners or quick lunches.

What guests are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the food quality despite the modest atmosphere β from the outside it doesn’t look like much, but the food was really good. Big portions and fair prices come up in nearly every review. The teriyaki chicken specifically gets called out repeatedly. Some reviewers note that takeaway can be inconsistent compared to dine-in, and recommend eating in for the full quality. The menu has Dutch translations on some items so Google Translate may be helpful for first-timers. Overall, this is the kind of place residents recommend over the higher-priced tourist-zone Asian restaurants for honest, satisfying food at fair prices.
