    I love the ambiance of this place. It is inviting, relaxing and lovely inside. Easy to find street parking. The service is excellent! The food is unique, delicous and some menu item are spicy!. This is some of the besr thai food I have had in some time. They have excellent curries, salads, and noodle dishes. Vegatarian friendly, large portions and pretty good prices.

    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!

    Sakoo

    Came here with a friend to try the Portland dining month prix fixe menu and also ordered the tomkha to share. The soup tasted good and I liked how there were different types of mushroom in it. What I didn't like was how the coconut milk was a bit coagulated in there. Doesn't look that appetizing. The sakoo was a hit. It's a tapioca ball with a savory umami filling. We both enjoyed it a lot. The main course looked pretty but was a total disappointment. The dish was under seasoned (I might even call it unseasoned at that point). I had to add a ton of chili and fish sauce to it. It also didn't come out hot. It was barely room temp. My egg was fully cooked while my friend's had a runny yolk so quality control could be better. The dessert just looked and tasted like a store bought mango ice cream dressed up with a bit of whipped cream and something like a mango syrup. It probably won't be restaurant that I would revisit but I would go just to eat the sakoo once in a while because they are that tasty! Plenty or street parking on the area on a weekday.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 .

    Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao is a Northern Thai rice noodle soup with a spicy tomato and pork broth.

    Yui has special dishes outside the regular menu that are absolutely worth trying. The food was delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. Excellent service, friendly staff, and a wonderful dining experience overall. Highly recommend!

    The restaurant has a nice ambiance. We had the khao soy which was on the salty side. The siu mai was good but a little dry. The drinks were yummy.

    KraDookMooTodKratiem (garlic sauce over pork rib topped with cilantro and crispy garlic) So tender and tasty!!
    Kari K.

    Yui has returned! Delicious Thai food, very comforting and tasty. Pork ribs were oh, so tender and the sauce served with it lightened the richness of the pork. Fish sauce wings were also juicy and sticky, if you're not use to eating whole wings, it may be tricky for you to eat. I'd say it's worth figuring it out! I look forward to going back and trying more dishes!

    You will dream about the sakoo.
    Gayle P.

    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.

We were glad we came when we did...anyway, onto the food+drink! -Life of Luxury Cocktail, this thing was served in a HUGE fish cup, lol! Bigger than my hand/as big as my face. It's on the sweet side, but I needed something sweet as a buffer since some of the dishes we ordered were a bit too salty. -Thai-Style Ceviche, 11/10. No friggin' notes. I highly recommend. Portion is a bit small, because I could have eaten MORE. -Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken was decent. We ordered the Small and it was about 5-6 boneless pieces. Very unique. I recommend to try if you like fried chicken. -Wok-Fried Yu Choy was wayyyy tooooo salty. Hubs & I wanted some greens and it was fried with generous amounts of garlic, but it just got saltier and saltier as we ate it. -White Curry w/ Brisket Burnt Ends, this dish was a little bit of a mixed bag. The white curry (roasted cauliflower + coconut cream) was delicious, but did it pair well with the Brisket Burnt Ends? Not really IMO. I don't think the flavors match. I'm not exactly sure what would pair well with the white curry, maybe some veg or tofu...but BBQ fusion with the curry wasn't the best. 2 unisex restrooms available, the one I used was clean. Service was a little scattered. We got the Yu-Choy first, followed by the ceviche a few minutes later. But the Fried Chicken and White Curry took a while to come (about another 10-15 mins. to come). We were lucky to find some street parking in the neighborhood nearby.

Khao Moo Dang Pi-Set (5/5): Upgrading to the Pi-Set is worth the extra $3, which comes with all the standard options plus extra eggs, juicy dumplings, tender yu choy, and a side of bone broth. The five-spice pork is super tender and tastes very similar to char siu. The pork belly had a great crunch and was perfectly salty, which contrasted well with the sweet Chinese sausage. The dumplings are really juicy and justify the upgrade on its own, in addition to complementing the side of bone broth. Everything ties together when coated in their signature Khao Moo Dang sauce, which rounds out the rich meats with the perfect amount of sweetness. Logistics Tip: Takeout packaging holds up well, keeping the crispy pork belly from getting soggy on the ride home while ensuring the broth stays piping hot. Upgrading to the Pi-Set version further improves an already generous meal into an expansive dish that can easily satisfy a huge appetite.

    We remembered Thai Peacock as good. Several years and one approaching curtain time later, we…read moredecided to see whether memory had been seasoning the evidence. The friendly staff promptly showed us to our table. A QR code stood in for the menu, an arrangement I tolerate rather than celebrate. One quick request produced printed menus and restored diplomatic relations. We began with shrimp salad rolls, which arrived remarkably quickly, with crisp, fresh vegetables. The accompanying peanut sauce was flavorful without being thick or ponderous. Frankly, the only thing preventing me from drinking it was a lingering respect for table manners. My spouse ordered the Egg Noodle & Basil Stir-Fry, generously loaded with shrimp. I chose the House Thai Peacock Curry with tofu. Its combination of Panang curry and peanut sauce was rich and intriguing, with just enough spice to keep each bite interesting without turning dinner into a test of character. The food arrived quickly, our server remained friendly, and the lively atmosphere made Thai Peacock an excellent choice before a show at Portland Center Stage. The restaurant we remembered fondly is now firmly back on our list. Thai Peacock earned an encore.

    How do I know about this restaurant?…read more For a very brief period of time, I decided to DoorDash... on a bicycle. It was very brief, due to the fact that Portland's hills are... well, I'm in a good shape, but I won't be in the Tour De France. A side benefit is that I learned where a lot of good food in Portland resides: Thai Peacock and Little Peacock made up a fair amount of my orders. How much do I like Thai? So much that I learned to make it myself, and I make a better than average Pad See Ew/Kee Mao... So when it came time for a lunch break, well, I couldn't wait to order from Thai Peacock. I got the Pad Ka Phrao (there was not an option for super hot / Thai hot... my one complaint about their system... more on that in a minute)... and started walking. It was easy to pick up, well labeled, and hot when I arrived. The reusable bowl (for the paper bag crowd who are taking notes.. this is Portland ya know)... was full of delicious meat and vegetables. The rice was packed separately, along with the single serving of added sriracha. The serving was more than generous, and good in its preparation. There are some caveats here: Thai Peacock does not make their dishes in the same way that many other Thai restaurants do... they do it with minimal ingredients, hoping you'll add on vegetables. It gets annoying when you're looking at ordering pad se ew, and you might otherwise get a similar dish for $7-$10 cheaper. The lack of an ability to add additional heat is also unwelcome. However, I understand that each Thai restaurant has its own way of making a specific dish. The generous portions make the bare bones dish a good value, if not the best representation of the dish I've had. This would be 5* for a group meal (no shortage of options, and consistent service), and 4* based on comparison to other Thai dishes at similar price points I've had. 5* here based on what most people would likely say. An extremely reliable restaurant with tasty food and generous portions deserves it.
