    Was super excited to come here given all of the fantastic reviews. Unfortunately I think it's still a little early in their journey to give it a try. I think they need some time to mature. I'll start with the atmosphere which I do think is great. It's charming and pleasant inside with a warm atmosphere and great amount of light. It's in a fun area and a good place for small-mid size groups. The service unfortunately was quite disappointing. We came in on a Sunday around lunch, and there was only one person to service the entire room. I get they're doing what they can but it just wasn't up to par for the prices. Every one of our (4) dishes came out at a different time which left people awkwardly wondering if they should eat or wait for the next dish. Our 2nd order of wings was forgotten and by the end of the meal there was no urgency in clearing the table despite the fact we were the only table still there. Generally just disappointing. Food wise I think the food was solid but not standout. The wings were tasty. The phad Thai while flavorful had super bland chicken. The khao so we got had tons of fatty beef that was inedible. Just wasn't our favorite. I would consider giving them another try when they start to figure out the service but for now I would wait until they dial it in more.

    YUI is a newer family-owned Thai restaurant that is a welcome addition to the Belmont neighborhood. To get here, there is street parking directly in front of the shop and around the area. Inside, they a beautiful, modern, and spacious setup with some nice Anthony Bourdain quotes too. Wifey and I pulled up with a couple friends for lunch and we were seated right away. For their menu, they have all the classics along with other authentic dishes not commonly found at other Thai eateries. We ended up getting the Shu Mai, Khanom Chin Nam Ngiao, and the Pad Thai Chicken. Everything that we had was flavorful and delicious. All of the staff here ever kind and welcoming. Definitely stop by if you are ever in the area and show them some support!

    We recently came here for a meal and they were also part of Portland Dining Month. We ordered the $55 set menu (crispy rice salad, Massaman curry, mango sticky rice) along with some other dishes - larb, pad kee Mao, and kradookmootodkratiem (pork ribs). I would say the crispy rice salad, massaman curry and pad kee Mao were the winners for me. The pork ribs were a bit on the dry side. The place is well decorated and had a nice ambiance to it.

    Great open spot and plenty of seating. We reserved a party of 5 on a weekday and were promotly seated. Ordered the KadPrao Wagyu beef that has veggies and riceberry. I opted for Medium spice. The spice level was right on the money. Had a really nice time here and water was quickly refilled. Gotta say, the playlist of Brittany Spears and Gaga was unexpected but absolutely loved by all of us! Thank you fir a wonderful experience!

    Coconut mung bean dessert, served warm. Sweet and a bit salty - great balance!

    Yui is back but in a new Belmont location! The food here is so good and according to my friend who's been living there for a few years, on par with what you'd get in Thailand. The menu is pretty small and has options that I've never seen before, like their sakoo, a tapioca dumpling that's sweet and savory and so addictive. Between visits so far, I've tried the kra pau, larb subbed with tofu, green curry chicken , khao soi, panang curry chicken, sakoo, shumai, happy hour tofu, and the happy hour seafood snack. For dessert, they were out of the Thai tea creme brûlée so we ended up getting their coconut custard which ended up being a surprise favorite - the warm, creamy and slightly chewy texture of the mung bean bottom with coconut on top was absolutely perfect! Everything has been quite good, but I would say the curries seem extra salty compared to other places - to the point where I'd prefer to get take out and then add a bunch of veggies to help balance the saltiness. And I wish the curries had a bit more protein in them, for the prices. Excited to see how they do and to come back to try more of their menu - or to do takeout and add more veggies.

    Very good Thai food

    Quiet . Intimate . Service seems personal . Enough to sample from menu to keep coming back . Everything I have had tastes great . However , some things on menu are not new . Wagyu beef is well seasoned and added to a few dishes . Boat noodle soup is good . The three course meal I had was what brought me back . Unfortunately , I cannot remember the names of my entree . Hard to pronounce most menu names , let alone to remember .

    From start to finish, everything was outstanding. My husband and I both agreed some of the best food we've ever had.

    You will dream about the sakoo.

    Hands down, the best food in Portland! The freshness of the ingredients and the unique flavors are unforgettable. The ambiance is cozy and the owner is always welcoming. I love this restaurant.

The sauce they use with the chicken and rice is great and is worth buying to take home to make your own dishes better. There is a good amount of seating both inside and out. I also tried the pork which was good but I prefer the chicken so will stick to that on a future visit. I have tried a lot of places that do the same thai style chicken and rice and it's almost always a miss for me, something is always off, usually the chicken is touch, or too dry, or lacking flavor but here it just hits right.

We had to wait a bit for a spot to open up but soon were able to sit with a high chair (located in the middle near the entrance). We got our number after ordering and food quickly came out after our wait to sit. We got Khao Man Gai Piset (with liver), Khao Kha Muu and chicken skins. The kids ate so much and the hainanese chicken was a kid friendly favorite! We really enjoyed the Khao Kha Muu which was similar to an adobo with yummy pickled mustard greens. The meat was tender and marinated so well. The liver is always enjoyable by me and everyone ate the skins which were so crispy! The 2 meals were large and fed all of us well. Please remember to bus your own table!

They have several vegan dishes and we generally get vegan versions of the Evil Jungle with Tempeh, Pad Kee Mao with Tempeh, and the Enoki Mushroom Salad. They also have various vegan specials from time to time, outside of their vegan menu, which have all been amazing and something we keep an eye out for. If you have the time to eat in, you definitely should to fully appreciate certain dishes; but they do an amazing job with doing their to-go orders as well - like frying certain items when you arrive so they don't get soggy from waiting to be picked up. The ambiance is really nice for an intimate or small group meal and this is one of my favorite places to bring people that aren't vegan as they have all been really blown away with the meat dishes they've ordered.

Service was efficient on a weekday for lunch. I was very impressed that the woman serving us also cooks. She said she has one other person helping her over the weekend. The food was SO DELICIOUS. This was the best pad Thai we had with such depth of flavor - not too sweet or oily, just perfect. We also had the pad kra pao, eggplant and tom kha. The tom kha had good flavor and with a thinner broth that I'm used to which was fabulous. The eggplant was so delicious - the consistency was incredible. Not too soggy, just right. I also tried the mango sticky rice. For drinks we had the Thai lemon tea which tasted like Thai iced tea without the milk and lemon added - delightful! We even bought an extra dish to take with us to go. Amazing place. Ambiance is casual. I can't wait to return.

It is, in a word, perfect. I can only imagine what their other offerings taste like, but I myself may never know because the Green Curry is just that good.

If I were to pick one thing to gripe about it's that it's so good that sometimes seating isn't available, but good for them. Get it to go instead if that happens.

A stack of menus by the point of sale...but you know this place is good by the smells, laughter and the smiles, the vibe...you want to be here everything is moving smooth.

They stop by to drop off the food and come by later delivering spices and checking on us. A bustling place. I see an egg plant dish.. must try that... the crowd is upscale... the food some of Portland's finest.
