I really enjoy supporting small, family-owned businesses, and this place definitely has that welcoming feel. The food itself was okay overall, but the portion sizes were the real standout. My favorite was the spicy crazy noodle. You definitely get a lot for what you pay, which makes it a great value. At the time of my visit, the server was also cooking in the back. I'd imagine if it gets busy, service can be long. If you're looking for a good bang for your buck and want to support a family-run spot, this is a solid choice. I'd come back, especially when I'm craving a filling meal without spending too much. read more

Visited for a quick dinner, decided on the pepper steak with bell pepper, white onion and mushrooms and it was cooked very well, both the beef and veggies were tender. I also enjoyed there fried rice. Service was good and food came out rather quickly. The price was right for the food received. Next time I'm in the area I would stop by. read more

Yucky Thai! Avoid the disappointment myself and 4 coworkers ordered food and it was an awful mess. The crazy noodles we ordered were extremely oily to the point the entire bag was a mess and it ruined the containers of the order food. The pad thai was dry and flavorless and the rice was awful. I called to tell them and the person only replied with a thanks for letting me know. We will not be ordering again! read more

9-10-2023 Still meh. Ordered for pick up. Service was fast, but he was more interested in watching the Bear's game than customers. Got vegetable tom yum soup. It was SUPER sweet. Not worth $9. Contained carrots, American broccoli, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and cabbage. I live nearby, so I randomly try to order different items from here. It's always disappointing. There are many other Thai restaurants in this area that are better. Website with updated menu: https://yummythaiil.smiledining.com//?2023073102 read more

The service was impeccable! The food came out very quick and was piping hot! (Which was perfect for the weather since it's so cold.) I had their "Spicy Crazy Noodles" and the Thai Iced Tea. Both are amazing. So flavorful and delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try everything else! read more

I'm a resident of the neighborhood and ordered Yummy Thai takeout monthly for 15+ years. Not sure what changed but this is not the same food. Names are the same but the dishes have very different flavor profiles at higher costs and probably 30% smaller portions. If you miss the OG Yummy Thai try Rice and Noodles in Pilsen - food is exactly how I remember it. read more

*this review is for a delivery order only - pad see ew Noodles and sauce flavor were okay. It's the dry beef and unfresh seafood I added that were awful. I ate one clam and could not touch the rest. They definitely do not properly store and throw out when bad the proteins. read more

Solid thai food :) The thai iced tea is easily one of the best I've ever had. It's one of my favorite drinks and they nailed it. I got the ginger entrée with chicken. Nothing mindblowing, but a great meal nonetheless (high quality and flavorful). It came with brown rice, which threw me off at first. To my surprise it was better than a typical side of white rice. Perfect texture and flavor. Service was quick and friendly. I can't imagine they'd be an issue to anyone. read more

Horrible customer service. I dined in and got a plastic fork and plastic plate. Other customers got actual metal utensils and regular plates. I asked why and they had no answer. Just ignored me. Also if I use Google Pay, why do I have to sign a paper receipt? No other restaurants do that. read more

Ordered this on UberEats as they were having a 40% off deal, I tried the Panang Curry and the Pad Thai. To me it was just alright. I ordered the Panang Curry with Chicken but was given tofu instead, which I think makes it a little bit hard to compare because I was missing the chicken. I ordered it "hot" for the spice level but I would say it came out mild. I think maybe they might've sent me the wrong order. I also had a beef pad thai which actually came out to taste more like a pad see ew with the thin pad thai noodles. The sauce was more a pad see ew sauce but the noodles were pad thai size. The food tasted fine, just everything was a little off between swapping the chicken for tofu and the pad thai being more of a pad see ew with smaller noodles. Not sure that I'll try again although the portion sizes were definitely generous and could be split into multiple meals. read more

I never review restaurants. But this is earned. The food was bland. I got the ginger chicken, spicy. My wife got the green chicken curry. Also ordered veggie rolls and pot stickers. The fried foods had a pancake batter flavor. My ginger chicken was made with very little ginger and wasn't spicy at all. And my wife's dish had a bug in it. Maybe our experience was a fluke. Buy and eat at your own risk. read more

I wish I could give you guys 7 stars but swear they have some of the best food I've tasted in a very long time. I consider myself a Thai/Japenese/asian/ and Chinese food connoisseur and hands down they are the best. I tried the combo fried rice and chicken potstickers and omg the best. I'll be back soonnnnnn read more

I've been coming here for my Thai-crave for a few years and what keeps me coming back is the food and the location. the dishes that I enjoy is the "yellow curry" and "pad thai - chicken". Better than most other places and when I ask for more rice for my curry - they have no issues giving more without the cost. The service may be lacking due to the overwhelming take out orders they get but decent. Street parking can be hard to find on Taylor but doable. read more

Ordered the Rama noodles with chicken for a quick work lunch. The flavor was great and the peanut sauce had a slight kick. Would highly recommend! read more

Yummy Thai is one of the most common places for students at Rush Medical college to satisfy their Thai food cravings at a very affordable price. The menu is somewhat standard but includes a lot of common and classic Thai dishes including pad thai, various types of curry entrees and the famous Thai iced tea/coffee! I got the Pangang curry with mild spiciness and it was much better than I expected. The rice, however, was dry and tough and felt somewhat uncooked. I also got Thai iced coffee which was great! The staff was friendly and the service and food prep time were very good. The interior of the restaurant was somewhat poorly lit and the furniture basic. Overall, it's a great place to get classic Thai dishes at an affordable price. Don't expect greatness but if you are ok with a quick, easy place to satisfy Thai food cravings, Yummy Thai is the place for you. Food: 7/10 Service: 9/10 Environment: 6/10 Price: 9/10 Would I come again? YES (wouldn't bring someone special tho) read more

We just threw $100 worth of food from delivery into the trash. It was inedible. The pad see noodles tasted like wet pretzels. The pad Thai was flavorless. The crab Rangoon had very little Filling. I could go on. It was terrible read more

Food (6.5/10): I've order the classic dishes like the Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and the Thai Fried Rice. All the dishes were pretty standard. Nothing too special or unique but gets the job done if you are craving Pad Thai or Pad See Ew especially. Portion sizes are standard. To be fair, I was in Berkeley CA for quite some time and had my fair share of Thai food as you could find a shop on almost every street. So my standards are skewed. Value (5/10): As a starving student, I will say this place is not value. But, it is standard pricing (~$13 for a dish w/ tax and tip). I am aware it ain't easy opening a restaurant. I'd say you are also paying for the ambiance as well as it is a step up from a classic mom and pop shop. Service (6/10): Standard service Atmosphere (7/10): Dimly lit, candle, brick vibes. Overall, pretty good compared to other shops on Taylor street. read more

Ordered through Grub Hub. Ordered 3 entrees and paid for them. Received only 2 entrees and a note that the protein requested with 3rd entree was not available. No phone call to ask what we'd like as a substitute. No attempt to refund our money. Settled the dispute by contacting Grub Hub for refund. Refuse to order from Yummy Thai again inspire of the the good food otherwise. Very unhappy with the total disregard for us. read more

I don't know why I haven't written a review of this place yet, but ordered from here again recently and thought I'll write it up. I got delivery and it was an ok good experience. Delivery and all is fine. They don't really let you customize dishes as much as you'd like, so I couldn't order my fave. But I did get a good variety which I tried over a couple of days. Tom Kar soup - good Red Curry - not good, not even red, and not the expected flavor Spinach Dumpling - decent Fried Tofu - free app for ordering over $20, was ok Panang - this was good I think next time I need to up the spice level to get the flavors flowing. read more

Best Thai food I've ever had! The spicy crazy noodle is the best dish they have!! I crave this all the time

BEST tofu rama I've ever had, hands down. As a college student, takeout gets me though long hours of studying and I would have this every single night if I could. The hot version of the rama is the perfect level of spiciness for me, although my tolerance levels are high. The tom kar soup is also freaking delicious. read more

Tasty food, friendly owners!! I have ordered from here several tomes and have enjoyed everything I've had!

We had higher hopes for this order because GrubHub had a good rating for them. I guess this proves that Yelp reviews are more accurate. The food was mediocre. Nothing wrong; just not that good. Our general impression was "disappointed" but not truly negative. However, the panang curry was good. There was egg shell in the pad see eiw, though, and so my girlfriend didn't want any more after that. The pot stickers appear to be manufactured and were unfortunately deep fried. There are better choices out there, but this is OK if there aren't any other options. read more

Used to like this place but just had an AWFUL pickup order. Ordered their orange chicken dinner and pad Thai dinner and this was what I got: - 6 pieces ($16+) of breaded orange chicken that was under-fried to where the breading was this slimy, disgusting coating that was falling off of the chicken pieces. Also BARELY any sauce w/ the meal. - Exploded brown rice that looked like quinoa at first glance and was clearly old and stale - Weird shredded noodles that was definitely not pad Thai noodles, the noodles dish overall was bland and dry. One of the worst pickup meal experiences I've ever had and not cheap. Highly recommend everyone avoid this place. read more

We recently ate dinner at Yummy Thai on Taylor Street on a scorching pre-summer Sunday. Our party of four visited on an off-hour for an early dinner, so it seemed like we had the place to ourselves. The air conditioning was working, and our water glasses were always replenished so we enjoyed a comfortable meal here. One person ordered the Thai iced tea and she enjoyed that drink. We agreed to eat our dinner selections family-style so that we could try everyone's dishes. Two people ordered fried rice dishes, one of which included pineapple and the other was ordered with a medium level of spiciness so you could see more red pepper flakes on that plate. Another ordered the lad nar, a flat noodle dish with chicken and broccoli that was fine. Originally I wanted to order a duck dish but was informed that duck and salmon were both out that day. Fortunately my second choice of Panang curry was tasty and not too spicy (I guess you could order the spice level to be cranked up if so desired). This dish included chicken, bell peppers and basil in a creamy peanut and coconut milk sauce that went well with the bowl of plain white rice. Overall all the food I tried was solid, and we probably ate 98% of all the food served to us so that's a good sign. Service was prompt and pleasant, and the prices are all fairly reasonable. We all agreed that the food lived up to the restaurant's Yummy name. read more

I used to frequent this restaurant and decided to drop in today. I got the beef basil and fried rice. I paid over $18 for this and the beef was old and kinda tough. The flavor wasn't right and it taste like it was left over from yesterday. The container of food wasn't worth the money and there wasn't a lot of beef in the dish. I won't be coming back! read more

So, I've had an obsession with trying pad see ew at different Thai establishments, and yesterday was no different. I ordered the chicken pad see ew and honestly, I was a little disappointed. The chicken literally had no flavor. It was so bland. I thought the noodle and broccoli ratio were fine and were flavored well enough, but the chicken really had nothing going for it. Also, compared to a few other Thai restaurants I've tried, the portion was smaller, which was unexpected. It wasnt so horrible that it would deter me to try something else on the menu, but I hope they flavor other protein better in the future. read more

My wife and I have walked by this place a hundred times and finally decided to give it a shot. It is BYOB if you choose to dine in. We brought a bottle of wine and were some of the only people in there, however we saw about 50 delivery people swing through while we were sitting, so obviously they do a big business with delivery. The appetizers we had were excellent, starting with soup and moving to shumai and gyoza. Then we tried there different entrees, a curry dish, pad Thai, and veggie fried rice. The veggie fried rice was the best - the pad Thai and the curry were just a tad bland, but it's a huge menu and I fully intend on trying a lot more. read more

I've ordered delivery from here several times - it's incredibly convenient if you are in the mood for Thai and work in the area. I can only vouch for a few items on the menu, but so far so good! I usually order the basil ground chicken dish thai style with steamed rice, seaweed salad, and lemon iced tea. The basil chicken dish is superb - it has ground chicken stir-fried with fresh basil, green beans, white onion, and bell pepper. I actually usually eat it without the rice altogether, but it's fine either way. Honestly, it's probably enough for two people when you eat it with the rice, but I can eat it all by myself! The seaweed salad is also pretty yummy, but the last time I ordered from here, they didn't offer it anymore. Lastly, the lemon iced tea is delicious! Remarkably, they are able to deliver it still iced and intact. The food is decently priced with sizable portions. There is, of course, a minimal order amount so that they will actually deliver the food to you - but with the meal described above, it counts. The delivery service during peak dinner time takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, but otherwise, it can be pretty quick. Overall, I'd recommend it if you are in the mood for Thai and in the neighborhood. read more

We placed a large order for our office and the food arrived on-time, was very good and they even labelled each dish with each of our names. Will definitely order from here again. read more

Not as good as it used to be but its been a favorite of mine for almost 10 years now. The pad thai is always a hit, just make sure you tell them to make it saucy because otherwise it may be a bit dry read more

Okay so I love Thai food. I think Thai food is complex because it provides a lot of different spices, cooking techniques, and textures in it's food. I love that about Thai food. As long as the flavors are there and the ingredients are fresh. I'm going to enjoy it. Which brings me to my entree, I had a tofu stir fry. Flavor was good ingredients were fresh. There was different textures in when i took a bite, but the execution was flawed because to be honest the tofu was still a bit cold. If the cooked the tofu just a little longer the no doubt this would be a solid 4 star, but I couldn't finish my meal because cold tofu on a warm stir fry... not exactly something you drool over. Fortunately for me I also ordered the cucumber salad which as basic as it may be is one of my favorite this, and Yummy Thai did a good job with their salad. The best part of my meal however was their Thai Iced Tea. It was so good that I bought another to go after finish my first tea. All in all, I did enjoy the flavors of Yummy Thai, but the execution of my entree really made it hard to make this more than a 3 star rating. I will go back to have their Thai Iced Tea, and hopefully I'll have a better food experience then. read more

My go-to order here is the Sweet Basil Chicken. This is a spicy dish with green beans, red peppers, onions, and steamed rice. It's perfectly cooked, the vegetables are still slightly crunchy not wimpy like vegetables in most Asian dishes. It's slightly small for the cost compared to other Asian restaurants so I recommend ordering an appetizer. That being said, I have ordered the Beef Pad Thai and was disappointed. This dish was dry and didn't have much flavor. If ordering from Yummy Thai, get something that comes in a sauce, not a dry noodle dish. read more

I have lived in the neighborhood since April but haven't hit this spot until this week. We went overboard and ordered some food! Miso soup - delicious Shumai - not that good Vegetable potstickers - delicious Veggie fried rice - very delicious Pad Thai - not my favorite - could have used more spice and dimension of flavor Yellow tofu curry - not the best - could have used more spice and flavor It's BYOB so we enjoyed a bottle of our choosing. It was nice a nice, quiet environment. I recommend giving it a try, but I probably won't go back. There's just too many amazing options to try in Chicago! read more
