What a pleasant experience!…read more I ate here one afternoon as part of a self-care day. Upon entering, I immediately felt as if I were taking part in a celebration as I took in all of the vivid colors and decorations that adorned the space. I was warmly greeted, and taken to a table that had been freshly wiped clean. My server was very sweet and recommended several appetizers to start my dining experience. She complimented my handbag and we shared small talk over the uniqueness of it. She also brought out chilled tap water that I requested and poured it into a small glass. I decided to try the lavender lemonade and I'm happy I did. It was glass of my favorite childhood drink served in a restaurant. The lemonade was sweet as if my mama made it and the lavender added just the right pizazz to the drink. Plus it was a pretty drink! I loved the fresh flowers that added an elegant touch. Now for the main course. I opted for the drunken uncle noodles with beef lunch special that includes a complimentary crispy roll. The roll could've been a tad bit warmer, but not a deal breaker. It was still tasty with just the right amount of crunch. The star was the drunken uncle noodles. They were absolutely delicious! The spices, the flavors, the tenderness of the noodles and beef were all superb! I've been thinking of this dish since I ate it and I can't wait to order it again and again! Yum Yai...from the welcoming ambience, to the friendly service, to the exquisite meal...you have earned this 5 star review. Keep shining bright!

I really wanted to love Yum Yai, and definitely has its pros, but the noodle dish left me wanting…read moremore. First let's start with everything they're doing right! Great service, lovely decor, impressive playlist, delicious wings and refreshing drink. I like that they offer mocktails and serve in generous portion compared to many places. The Zaap wings are a must if you're a wing person. I am not a huge wing person. We got both dry and sauced to start--both yummy. I'm a big fan of Thai food so I've had really good Thai food and sub par. The crispy spring rolls were good but pretty standard like most restaurants or what you can buy in the frozen section. I ordered Drunken Uncle noodle with chicken but it wasn't even "tipsy" lol - not a ton of flavor nor moist enough to be drunken. Edible but Kinda pasty and lacking so the 3-3.5 rating factored in to my overall is mostly due to my noodles but the rest of the experience I am pleased. Maybe I just didn't order one of their best entrees. When my friend had her basil fried rice dish redone with no egg she loved it, and it looked good too. She got it with tofu. Before that something was off but the staff was very accommodating and kind. They wanted to make it right so she'd be pleased and she was. We took our moms out on Mother's Day weekend as a treat, and they seemed to enjoy their whole fried snapper which comes on a bed of lettuce with rice & sauces on the side. The three flavor fish comes with 3 sauces and there's also a mango fish. The location is convenient and I'd return to try another dish or one of their curries. They were running a unique set of menu items especially for Mother's Day weekend but it included food items none of us eat.

It's a nice fresh herb taste with lots of flavor with little seasoning. Y'all already know, if it's for the dumplings alone, She'll be back.

Three picnic tables outside is all of the seating. Parking lot is small but there is parking across the street if needed. I usually order and then wait in my car for my food. Friday special is my favorite but if you are one of the lucky ones that dines there on a day when they have yellow noodle bowl, you are blessed. It is very rare. It says Hoover Food Mart on the sign, a homage to their humble beginnings in this building back when it was an operating gas station. Unique, special, delicious.

We had checked in at our hotel a bit later than planned and hence were hungry. My wife found this…read moreplace listed as the closest Thai place, so we drove there. It is located in a large plaza that spas both sides of the road. The opposite side looked more like a small shopping mall with higher end restaurants, but we didn't explore it. The side where this restaurant is located is anchored by a Publix. There was plenty of parking in the shared lot. I don't think that this place was what either of us expected, which was a restaurant where you ordered from your table. Instead, this place had a more 'hole in the wall' vibe, but in a generally good way. They had about 6 tables total in a fairly small space. You ordered at the counter and they brought the food out later. They were almost constantly fielding phone-in orders for to-go food. They had limited drinks available (including water) but no alcohol. The staff was friendly. The food came out before long, and we both agreed it was very good. My curry was quite flavorful. My wife liked her vegetable dish as well. So, just know what to expect. If you want to impress someone on a first date, this may not be the venue for you. If you are just here for the food, then this is a great choice. If I lived in the area and wanted Thai take-out, this would absolutely be my first pick.

I love the sauce that comes with it! I have also had a great yuzu margarita there, which I would recommend if you want a cocktail! My most recent order was the Super Crunch Roll. I got this to go, and I picked it based off of previous Yelp reviews. It was delicious but didn't necessarily blow me away, especially for it to be ~$17. It left me feeling hungry, whereas I usually feel quite full from a sushi roll. They have a lovely outdoor patio for whenever the weather is nice. They do allow you to bring your dog to sit with you! Service can be hit or miss at times, but overall, we have had great experiences. They have a HH 4-6 Thursday-Sunday, which is nice if you can make it then. It includes 1/2 price appetizers, $5 cocktails (marg, mojito, cucumber collins, and mule), beer, wine, and sake. I attached the menu for this. I believe the HH and lunch special pricing is only offered for dine-in.

I had lunch here with friends on Monday and was happy to see the restaurant bustling with customers. The lunch menu features a smaller selection from the full menu, with options ranging from Thai Beef Salad to Thai Catfish, two of my all-time favorites. Lunch entrées come with a cup of tofu coconut soup, which is excellent--full of ginger, garlic, lemongrass, mushrooms, and tofu in a savory broth. This visit, I ordered the Roasted Duck with Red Curry. The portion was generous, with several pieces of duck cooked in a flavorful red curry sauce with kaffir lime leaf, basil, pineapple, red bell peppers, and fresh tomato. It was served with a side of white rice and was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended if you're in the mood for quality Thai food in a lively setting.
