This place is my go-to for great reliable, authentic Thai food. I work close to this place so it's a great place to stop in after work for dining in or taking out. I really like the Ma and Pa atmosphere of order at the counter and they are pretty quick with order. Have tried a variety of their appetizers and noodle dishes. My favorite appetizer is the Thai spring rolls and my favorite noodle dish is the Khua Kai (with tofu) but any of their meat options are great. What's also great is you can customize your spice level. read more

ThaiYada Restaurant - Khua Kai with tofu and Thai Fried Spring rolls - Thai Near Me - Rochester, New York

We were visiting Rochester and heard from a friend to come try this restaurant. There's a few tables inside but seems like mainly a takeout Thai restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful with questions we had. We tried the pad see ew - the noodles were thick and fresh. The beef was tender and delicious. Vegetables were cooked well. Sauce was strong. We also got the pad kee mao - the basil flavor was nice and the spice was good. As with the other dish, the noodles were thick and fresh made and vegetables cooked well. crispy pork belly reminded me of deep fried pork balls but better. Dishes are around 15$ usd so not bad for what you get. read more

Delicious food!! Like seriously good. I'm borderline obsessed with their Beef Pad See Ew And the Thai Iced Tea? So refreshing, it's the perfect combo. read more

Their pad thai and pad see you were the best ive tried!! And thats after comparing to the ones in nyc and actual thai places in Thailand!! The owner?or cashier was friendly, welcoming, and the location is easy to get to. Would definitely go there more often now. read more

Delicious takeout. I had the drunken noodles. I did have some difficulty finding parking. I tried a little parking lot but it was a pay the parking lot that was $13 and I knew I was only picking up food and leaving. That would take about two minutes. So I called the restaurant to let them know I was right outside and wasn't sure what to do. They brought the food out to my car. Very friendly. Very fast. Great food. Highly recommend and would go back! read more

I got the Pad Ka Pow with chicken and I ordered spicy. It came out spicy for sure. Taste was great but could use a little more sauce. read more

Definitely take your food to go, the location is small and very hot. The food was great and i liked the heat scale. I tried with a 2, but would go higher next time to really feel it a bit more. Everyone here was very friendly and pleasant. read more

This spot has some of the best chicken pad thai that I've had in my travels! The little tofu cubes were a delicious, authentic addition, but it was the smokiness of the dish that really took it to the next level. Pleasant heat at level three and still a litttle bite to the noodles. Personally the bean sprouts and Chinese chives were softer than I'd like; however, I did order takeout, so they may have kept cooking in the box, which was still hot by the time I dug in. A larger, fresher lime slice would have been nice as well, but that is also a quibble on a fantastic meal. read more

I got vegetable pad Thai as a takeout order and it was good but not the best I've had. Something about the flavor of the noodles was a bit off... again, still tasty but didn't fully satisfy me. Some of the veggies tasted a little undercooked. This was my first time, so I'll try ordering it again to see if my opinion changes! read more

Staying at nearby hotel that I stay at often, first time trying ThaiYada. Got the fried wontons and crispy pork belly apps, so delicious I highly recommend both! Next time I will try an entree quality is excellent and it was hot and ready at the time promised. read more

Came here by myself on a freezing snowy Monday night. Good: - Staff is super nice! They welcomed me in and it was warm inside as I ate. - Great portion sizes - I loved my drunken noodles here with chicken - it was a recommendation from the staff there! Bad: - Not too much seating inside, and it's definitely not a fancy place, very casual - Food took about 15 min to get to me, a little on the slower side for a thai place Overall this place is a really cozy place and it's a nice place to watch the snow fall. read more

ThaiYada Restaurant - Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) - Thai Near Me - Rochester, New York

So this is a very small hole in the wall place. I got pad see ew, drunken noodles for my friend, and crab Rangoon, and spring rolls. The drunken noodles was reported tasty and I really like the pad see ew. My only issue is that the entrees were priced accurately but the appetizers being $17 each as well seemed off to me, and not for a large quantity. The food is really good just wish the apps were priced differently. 3.5 read more

Quick takeout service. There is street parking Available. Pretty standard Thai food menu with spice levels 1-5. Highly recommend the Thai tea. Prefer the pad see ew at spice level 2. I typically can't handle spice, but this wasn't too bad of a spice level. Portion size is very generous especially for the price. It wasn't the best Thai food I've ever had, but overall a great experience and I would eat here again read more

Plentiful servings which can be adjusted to your heat preference. They definitely do a great take out business, dining in is an option for a small group. No air conditioning in the summer but they'll turn on a big fan. Good food, great for take out, drive with a buddy cause parking stinks. read more

Definitely the best Thai in Rochester. Only reason it's not 5 stars is due to a lack of clearly labeled vegan options. The ones they do have are fantastic, notably the drunken noodles with tofu and the mango sticky rice dessert. The staff are also super friendly and accomodating. Love this place. read more

Thai Family Owned Restaurant. Good Option for authentic Thai food in the Rochester area. We ordered Chicken Pad Thai, Basil Chicken, Crispy Pork Basil Stir Fry. Crispy Pork Basil Stir fry was definitely the most popular dish at the table. Restaurant only open for dinner and is mostly set up for takeout, however theres a few small tables for indoor dining. Food was tasty, restaurant was clean, and service was excellent. Gluten Free and allergy accommodation available. The chef recommended Tom Yum Soup, Green Curry and Crying Tiger Grilled Steak for our next visit. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, paid parking next door or free parking on the street. Thank you. read more

You HAVE to try the drunken noodles with beef and/or shrimp - they were so good. The family working there was super nice and everything was made fresh to order. The spice level of 2 was enough to warm you up on a cold day but not overwhelming. This place is definitely more of a takeout place than a sit down, but it was delicious either way. read more

ThaiYada Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Rochester, New York

Just tried this place for the first time a month ago and I've already gone back twice! They have amazing food; I especially love the Panang curry. They were also able to accommodate to my request for gluten free. Highly recommend trying this place out! read more

I tried ThaiYada for the first time tonight and was so impressed! I actually ordered two dishes that are less-Thai than what else is on the menu, but I'll be back to try more. I got the fried pork wontons and the chicken fried rice for dinner. I ordered online and my order was ready right on time and packaged neatly. They also poked holes in the container for the fried wontons, which so many places do not do, leading to soggy fried food. Not here--the wontons were perfectly crispy when I got home. The pork inside the wontons is so flavorful. They come with a sweet and sour dipping sauce, which is a nice complement, but the pork is so flavorful on its own that you really don't need the sauce. These satisfied my craving for something crunchy and fried. The fried rice is one of the best fried rice dishes I've had in Rochester, no doubt. First of all, the portion is HUGE. Enough for at least three meals, maybe more! They didn't skimp on chicken (you can choose other meats) or veggies and the flavoring was exactly what I want in a fried rice: savory but not too salty or heavy. I loved my meal from ThaiYada and next time will try some of the more traditional Thai dishes! read more

So amazing I love the food, I always get the vegetable/egg rolls, Thai tea, and the wide noodle dish. But be warned this place has crazy strong spices in the air haha! If you love Thai food, but can't handle strong smells just order to go. People are kind and I always come back. read more

We had take out after my surgery at the Cleveland clinic and the food was excellent. It was hot and ready for us to pick up when we got there. read more

The food was incredibly delicious. The restaurant is very small and basic, so don't let that fool you.

Finally, food with some flavor. Best Thai I've had in Rochester. The flavor is great and tastes authentic. The staff are super nice and the spice is wonderful. Definitely worth the drive. Can't recommend enough! read more

I've had takeout from Thai Yada several times now, both pick up and through services like GrubHub. I like that they utilize these services , especially when it came time to isolate due to a covid exposure, and the promise of Thai takeout kept my spirits high. Pad see ew is my go to , and here I usually order it with Tofu. Always yummy! Good portion (enough for 2 meals). Have also really enjoyed their spring rolls. And always ask for a side of the sweet chili sauce :) read more

Thai is always good. For mild it's still a bit of spice. Quick service a bit expensive with it all added up. The fried pork belly was delicious but I'm sure it always would be. read more

Food was just okay. Service was good. The drunken noodles were good but not great. There was too little meat. We got the green curry as well but it was way way too sweet and there were only about 4 shrimp in it. Pork belly and fish balls were okay but nothing to write home about. Thai iced tea was good. I expected more from this place based on the high reviews. read more

Very tasty! When ordering, keep in mind that the portions are large. For 4 people we had two appetizers and two main dishes and that was plenty (we were all hungry too). Seating is basic and clean. We will be going back! read more

Great takeout. Friendly workers at the counter and in the open kitchen. The dine-in space is not big, and if you're sensitive to spice (or have asthma) then sitting near the open kitchen might prove challenging. The air is spicy! But the food was fresh, flavorful, with lots of veggies. read more

Our favorite thai spot does not deliver to our house but I think we have found ourselves a new favorite takeout spot! Deliver was fast for a Saturday night and everything came pretty hot but we did have to do a little heating up! We got the pad see ew with beef, pad thai with chicken, and appetizer of the crispy pork. While waiting for our noodles to heat up, we tried the crispy pork. First of all, if you're wondering why the crispy pork is over $11 for an app, it's because you get a ton!! The outside was sooo crisp and fatty, it's a really good dish paired with rice and some pickled veggies. The inside was tender and the special sweet and sour (?) sauce was a great complement. The pad see ew was probably my favorite. I loved the sweet that cuts through the savory sauce. It was a flavor I haven't had before because it sounded like a very simple dish so I never bothered to order. The noodles were soft but not mushy. The only thing is you don't get a lot of beef, but whatever beef you do get is very soft and tender. The overall flavor of this dish was just fantastic. Every good thai restaurant should have a great pad thai and Thaiyada did not disappoint. The color of the pad thai is not a bland white with hints of orange and brown sauce, this dish was definitely sauced up! The chicken was a good item to take on the wonderful flavor, though again, you don't get a lot of it. This is definitely one of the more flavorful pad thai's I've had in Rochester, and I've had many! We are definitely making this one of our regular spots, especially during cold nights when we don't want to go out. read more
