I had placed an Uber eats order to be delivered. I paid $19 just for the food before any type of service fees or taxes and it’s upsetting to see my container was a little more than half full. I don’t think it was worth price when a portion of my food is missing

Quite the stand alone location for its kind. Met up with a couple people here who really enjoy the food here eating it two days in a row. It’s a small establishment and it’s an old building so I didn’t expect much for aesthetics. The menu comes as a single slab of particle board which I thought was neat. I ordered the “angel” wings, fresh milk pork skewers, and steak salad. I never understand places that serve appetizers and entrees at the same time. The “angel” wings aren’t the angel wings I’m familiar with (stuffed chicken wings). They were just fried chicken wings drizzled with a sweet chili sauce. It was OK. The fresh milk pork “appetizer” came out as a full on entree on a big platter served with rice, cucumber slices, and dipping sauce. More sweetened meat is all I have to say. The dipping sauce was also sweet. The steak salad was decent but the chili lime dressing was also… you guessed it! Sweet!!! This is why I stay away from Thai restaurants. My party seemed to enjoy their orders. One ordered and recommended the steak salad. The other ordered beef laap with sticky rice. The server was polite. Complimentary water comes with a hint of lemon in taste which I found refreshing. This place IS decent if you enjoy Thai food catered towards westerner palate. It’s just not for me. Thai food in general. I would like to try their curries but I’m guessing it’s going to be too sweet for my taste buds as well. One of my mates said this place is the only Thai restaurant that doesn’t shutdown midday for a few hours. Little does he know Bangkok Thai in downtown also does not anymore. I have my biases when it comes to Thai food. Definitely give this place a try. My party seemed to really enjoy it.

As a visitor in town, we were excited to try Yummy Thai, particularly for their Thai Boat Noodle, a rare find in the US. The setting was promising, and we came with high expectations.
Our party of four chose a mix of dishes: two opted for the Boat Noodle and the others for the Combination Pho. We also indulged in the platter appetizer and two versions of papaya salad, Thai and Laos style. The platter appetizer was satisfying, and the papaya salads were a highlight, especially the Laos style with its robust flavors and spiciness. The Thai salad, however, was slightly overpowered by vinegar.
The combination pho was a delight, striking a balance in taste without being greasy. But the much-anticipated Boat Noodle was a letdown. Although it had the authentic flavor, the excessive saltiness was off-putting. Both of us who ordered it struggled to finish even half the portion, leading to an uncomfortable amount of water consumption.
Customer service was another area where Yummy Thai could improve. We found ourselves repeatedly asking for basics like water and utensils, and the small water cups provided didn’t help, especially with the salty Boat Noodle. A more attentive service would have greatly enhanced our dining experience.
Overall, Yummy Thai has potential, but our visit was a mixed bag. While some dishes were spot-on, others, including the famed Boat Noodle, fell short of expectations. Combined with the lackluster service, I’d rate it a 3-star experience, though I believe with some tweaks, Yummy Thai could easily be a 4-star restaurant.

The best Thai food I’ve ever eaten in the US as a short-term traveler traveling in California. The flavor is heavy, and is nearly authentic. Foods are fantastic over there. With some modifications that caters to the western flavor. As an Asian guy who are easily approached to all kinds of Asian foods in my country, you can trust my taste! The staff is nice although we have language problems when ordering food. However, it’s a little bit hot inside. Maybe they can upgrade their air conditioner.

Great service and great food. Love the presentation of the food. Would recommend. Had the Thai Boat, and it was very delicious. This time, I got spring rolls, which were very good and spicy beef salad level 8/10 spicy in which I almost regret. But the dish was very delicious and flavorful. Will be doing the spice level at 5/10 next visit.

A hole in the wall, but a must try! Best Khao Soy I’ve had in the States. It closely resembles the famous northern Thai Khaosoy dish. Noodles are a bit different, but flavor of the rich coconut curry broth is there.

Yummy Thai has kind service. My order was a phone order for pick up. I arrived very late. They did a fresh Tom Yum for me and even volunteered to bring it car side since I had kiddos with me. Takes a bit of time but it’s worth it. One of those places that’s clearly prioritizing the quality and authenticity of ingredients for the food. Cozy home-like atmosphere, minimalist dining area. Relaxed vibes. Tom yum was good. TBH Bangkok Thai gives double the containers of soup because they serve it at the restaurant in a hotpot. For the money and taste this place is second to BT. Still very Yummy!

I ordered one pho combination & one cucumber papaya Lao style. I’m a usual customer here because I live in the neighborhood & I always get the usual order whenever I visit. Today, January 29, 2024, at 5pm, I took my two year old toddler and I to grab dinner since I’m 7 months pregnant and I didn’t feel like cooking. Good thing I shared my bowl of pho with my daughter because I wouldn’t have seen the small roach in my pho. We didn’t eat anything yet. I was giving my daughter a portion of the pho in a small separate bowl, per usual, and when I took a glance at my bowl of pho, I saw a pretty big black thing in my bowl of pho. I thought it might be a big black pepper in it. But when I took a closer look, it was a baby roach. It killed my appetite. I informed the waitress and she took it. They asked me if I would like a new pho & I did say yes. After contemplating while waiting for them to remake my pho, I started to feel disgusted and didn’t want to eat there anymore. I couldn’t look at the bowl of the cucumber papaya they made for me. I didn’t touch anything at all because the thought of the small roach could be anywhere in my food at this point. I know it’s just a small roach and some people might say it’s harmless and they would still eat it, but not I. This is a safety and health hazard concern. It seems like the place has roaches. I decided to take off and let them know that I don’t want it anymore and I didn’t touch anything. After I seatbelted my daughter in the car, the waitress opened the door and told me that the chef has already made the pho and am I sure that I don’t want it. I told her no because of the roach that was in my previous bowl of pho. And then she insisted that they made already. The vibe I was getting from her was that I should pay the food even though I didn’t touch it because they already made it. I didn’t like the atmosphere I was getting from her. The other guy was behind her too when this happened. Then she closed the door by telling me that she would let the chef know.
It’s pretty disheartening because I loved their food. After experiencing that, I don’t think I can get myself to eat there anymore.
For those who wants to try there, be my guest, but please look at your food closely before you eat or else you will add extra flavor to your taste (lol all jokes aside).

Lovely front staff and cooks. Friendly service, great food, and nice atmosphere although I only sat there because I ordered to go 🙂 thanks for the great first time experience.
