We order Thai food a lot here and love it every time. Their food is off the charts, comes out quickly and hits all the taste buds. Highly recommend it!! read more

Love that I was able to make a reservation for our group of 17 for a Saturday night. They had our table ready for us when we arrived. The food was fresh, came out quickly and was tasty. The staff were attentive without hovering. A good place for a date or a larger group like ours. read more

I haven't gotten to try their entrees yet since I popped in one night just for dessert, but I am eager to return to try the food. I was greeted and seated immediately, and the restaurant was clean. I can, at the least for now, say that their desserts are tasty~ Mango sticky rice absolutely hit the spot. The mango portion seemed a little small, but it ended up being a good amount, and the sticky rice had great flavor and texture. I also had the fried banana with coconut ice cream. The fried banana had an excellent crunch, but overall banana portion was small. The coconut ice cream was delicious. The banana can get a little sweet, so if you're looking for something lighter, go with the mango sticky rice or just a scoop of coconut ice cream! read more

Yupha's Thai Kitchen - Fried banana with ice cream and Sticky rice with mango - Thai Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Wife was craving mango and sticky rice and Yupha's has some of the best! We started with the Sampler Appitizer which comes with two Thai rolls, two golden curry puff (these are spectacular!), two chicken satay, and six Kew Krob, which are wontons stuffed with chicken and egg. All of it was so good and we also had an order of the gyoza because theirs are so good and tender and full of tasty pork and veggies. So Yummy!!! I tried a new dish tonight, Pra Ram with chicken and no spice! Sautéed chicken with peanut sauce over steamed mixed veggies. Oh my gosh! First, I love their peanut sauce, although it was a bit oiler than typical, so flavorful. The chicken was cooked to perfection and there was a variety of mixed veggies. So so good! Wife did one of her favorites, the Pad Garlic Sauce with shrimp. She has had this previously and said it was perfect. We finished our dinner with a serving of sticky rice with mango...oh my gosh! This is what dreams are made of! Warm, sticky rice, sweetened with condensed milk and served with slices of soft, sweet mango. So yummy! read more

I'm telling you the best service of any restaurant I've been to. Extremely fast, very friendly. On top of that, the food is always so hot and comes out fast. May I also say - it's delicious! You can't go wrong with any of the options but I would say my favorites have been the Drunken Noodles and the Pad Thai. Be careful on spice level. Medium will have your mouth on fire (or maybe I'm just a wimp). Regardless, best Thai restaurant in Arizona. read more

Yupha's is one of my favorite Thai restaurants for lunch or dinner. Their curries are so delicious and warming. I love the ingredients they use and their Thai tea is to die for!! I enjoyed the Kao soi as well the crispy noodles are a good touch!! read more

Yupha's service and atmosphere is consistently great. I visited there again today (Monday) for lunch. I ordered a bowl of Tom Kha with chicken and house salad with grilled chicken with peanut sauce. The soup was tasty but not as tasty as other places I've eaten at (outside AZ). The peanut sauce was far from what I expected and the salad was also. The peanut sauce seemed to be a mix of sweet chili sauce and a thin peanut sauce. Not very tasty to me. The grilled chicken was not what I expected - seemed liked a food service frozen version - disappointing. Sorry, but this place has some good dishes and some not so good dishes in my opinion. Service - 4 stars, atmosphere - 4 stars, Food - 3 stars. read more

Finally decided to come here for lunch after ordering this place via delivery numerous times. So good, even better in person. I got the chicken pad thai in thai hot & it was nice and spicy. I think any spicier would've been uncomfortable probably. I like the pickled veggies in the pad thai a lot. Adds good flavor and texture. My photo doesn't do the pad thai justice. It was plenty of food, I had to take some to go. read more

We ordered delivery from here. The food was fresh and tasty! Excellent flavor and won't leave you feeling gross.

Yupha's Thai Kitchen - Lunch special - Thai Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Craving Thai?! Consider Yuphas! It's a great spot for lunch or dinner, and catching up with friends. We were immediately greeted upon walking in and served ice cold water right away. The ambiance is really nice. Dark & moody lighting makes it a good spot for date night too. We had a craving for yellow curry and Yupha's knows how to do it right! My friend & I both ordered just that- one with chicken & the other with tofu. She had a side of flat rice noodles to pair with her dish instead of rice-and it was sooo good!! Their spice levels are different from most other Thai restaurants and I opted for "double Thai hot". And it was HOT!! Many times I order Thai hot from other restaurants-it's barely any spice. But here...they know how to burn your taste buds, and I love it!! Overall, we had a wonderful experience. The food, the service, ambiance and great selection of menu items. Consider this your next Thai experience! read more

6.26.25 - My friends and I ordered togo from here for our little get together. I've eaten here and ordered from here many times. The food here is flavorful, service is always friendly and the place always seems busy when Im here. We ordered a couple of different things to share family style. Order: Tom Kha Pot w/ Chicken (med spice) $14 Tom Yum Bowl w/ Chicken (hot) $6 Papaya Salad (med) $13 Eggplant Basil Sauce w/ Chicken (med) $17 Pad See Ew w/ Beef (med) $18 Crying Tiger Steak $29 Thai Iced Tea $5 Thai ice tea and tom yum soup were for me and they were so good! Medium to hot for spicy level is perfect. All other shared items were good as well. The thing we didn't think was worth it was the steak. For $29, you'd expect a bigger piece of steak. The steak was small! I do like the green sauce it came with though. I also felt the eggplant basil and pad see ew were overpriced for the portion received. Prices here for some items have increased quite a bit over the years. While the food is tasty, larger portions would make it even better. read more

Up top with best Thai in USA. Red curry, tom yum extra shrimp and double Thai spicy was awesome. The papaya salad... awesome

I haven't been here in a long time but we decided to order dinner here tonight. We got a few things on the menu : Papaya salad- i liked it. It was sweet and tangy Tom kha gai- broth was really good , chicken was a little dry tho. Pad see ew with beef : one of my fav dishes Thai basil chicken Crying Tiger : this was the dish that was the most disappointing and the most expensive! A thin piece of steak over lettuce was $29! The steak was bland and didn't have much flavor. They didn't even cut the steak apart for us. Would not recommend that dish and it's overpriced for sure. I do recommend this place to try. Maybe dining at the restaurant would be better since everything would be served hot and fresh. read more

I used to love this place when I lived in Chandler 9 years ago. The problem is, I've cleaned up my diet now and avoid toxic seed oils. (Canola and soybean oils are the most common seed oils restaurants use). I tried to order SOMETHING off the lunch menu for dine-in that wasn't prepared using seed oils and nothing was! I asked for them to use butter, extra virgin olive oil, or avocado oil and the waitress told me that wasn't possible after checking with the chefs. I had to walk out without eating anything. It was disappointing but beats feeling terrible after detoxing, and then consuming these unhealthy oils. read more

WTF... we went out to get some takeout and I wasn't feeling the curry. I decided on the orange chicken, how bad could it be. I received Sysco fried chicken tenders with a really nice orange sauce. Because of the different size pieces a couple of them weren't fully heated through. Why are you using frozen chicken tenders. Epic Fail! Get better. Food guy out! read more

I like to post Reviews mostly second or third time around just to see the consistency and taste in the food and service. Yupha's Thai Kitchen has been in its current Tempe location at 1805 E Elliot Rd since 2008. The restaurant was clean from the minute you walk in. The bathrooms were well kept up and clean. I would give them a 5 star on cleanliness. Service was average. Only because I prefer a waitress or waiter with a smile to take my orders, especially if I'm bringing family or a friend from out of town. It just makes for a better experience. Ambience is nice relaxing with a Thai theme throughout the restaurant. As for the food, my appetizers were tasty We ordered spring rolls, the crispy Little mermaids. Order the chef seafood soup was a little disappointed because it was very salty and overbearing, my son ordered the drunken noodles. He as well mentioned they'd salt the food this time around too much.. if you go there, make sure you let them know not to overpower the food with too much salt. I would definitely go back and have a meal there but I would not order the seafood soup or drunken noodles. Let me just say the food is very fresh and appealing. But I will try something different next time around. read more

Still my favorite neighborhood Thai spot. Since my last review I still haven't had bad service or bad food. It's always quick and tasty. To go, in restruant, and delivery have all been great. My only advice (if you like any spice) is ask for one level higher than you would normally - mild is like no spice. But once you lock in their spice level; you're golden. read more

The restaurant is cute and very clean. We had no problem getting seated. This was my first time having Thai food and our waitress was the sweetest! She recommended some noodle dishes for me and even explained the heat scale (everything burns hotter during the summer, so she warned us that the spices were higher than normal). I ended up getting the appetizer sampler (my favorite were the curry puffs, they're to die for) and one of the noodles called Kao Soi with chicken (soooooo gooooood). Seriously, just try this place, they won't disappoint. read more

Food was fresh, favorable and excellent. Friend recommended this place and it was well worth it. Will certainly be back. Great recommendation. read more

Always a super hit - I love the options on their menu bc they have such great salads with noodles and protein - plus the rotating specials. Service is very polite and accommodating despite how packed they ALWAYS are. Completely authentic and very well designed room in fact for how open the space is - couldn't hear a single thing from other tables besides the one right next to us read more

I had one of the worst restaurant lunches today at Yupha's. The soup that comes with the lunch special was awful, and it was about a half cup of liquid. The spring roll was the size of my thumb, and it would be hard to believe it didn't come from a frozen package. The salad had a wonderful peanut dressing, but it was impossible to get those little lettuce shards on a fork. So annoying to try to eat. My entree was supposed to be Garlic inspired. It was tasteless, and the broccoli and carrots were practically raw. read more

Tried this place again after trying once several years ago. In between we had a favorite Thai place closer by but it since closed. We ordered Thai rolls and Kanom Jeeb (steamed dumplings with ground chicken, shrimp, and imitation crab) to start. The Thai rolls were great - crispy and the bean thread noodles inside were noticeable. The Kanom Jeeb was slightly fishy, which is too bad because I'm always in favor of not getting all fried appetizers (there were very few non-fried options). For entrees we split one order of shrimp Pad Pok (mixed vegetables in house sauce) and one order of Pad See Ewe noodles with chicken. I thought the pad see ewe was excellent with plenty of chicken and an acceptable amount of broccoli. I like when the noodles are a little bit chewy like these, not mushy. The pad pok was good, nothing too exciting. We did order both dishes Mild and confirmed that should have a little spice and we tasted none, so we will definitely opt for Medium next time. Our server was really nice. It was pretty busy on this Saturday night and I was pleased they same sufficiently prepared to handle that. read more

Food was delicious!! Best Koa Soi I've ever had. Their spice levels aren't too crazy and gave us extra flakes on the side. The people I was with got the cabbage rolls, chicken skewers, pad Thai and a steak & rice dish (I forgot the name). Everyone was pleased with their food. I forgot to take pictures cause we were so excited to eat. Service was great, we didn't go long without a server checking on us. The inside is cute as well, it was busy but overall 10/10. read more

my party of six enjoyed our meal--mostly. Only one entree was subpar but others ate their meal or happily carried out leftover. I order Thai Fried Rice but the medium spicy was milder than I expected. the shrimp, rice, tomatoes, onions and seasoninga were worth the trip. The duck was excellent according to one of my dining partners. Oh, and it was a busy Saturday night so come early for a good table read more

I came to Yupha's for a work lunch around 12:30pm. The six of us were sat quickly with waters already on the table. I ordered the lunch drunken noodles with chicken which came with a small side salad and soup. Service was quick to bring our sides after ordering. The peanut dressing on the salad was PHENOMENAL. I wasn't a big fan of the soup, but that's just a personal preference. The meals came out quickly and steaming hot- definitely did not sit under a heat lamp! These drunken noodles were fabulous. The sauce was perfect seasoned, noodles had a great texture, and there was a plentiful amount of chicken. I also enjoyed the tomatoes and bell peppers in the dish which balanced the heaviness of the noodles. The portion was also a great size for me. This was my first time having drunken noodles and I am definitely ordering them again. I 1000% recommend this spot! read more

Saturday night, we had out of town friends come in and we needed a place to catch up. When thai food is always a good option! We needed some place that was central as my family and I were coming in from Ahwatukee from another friend meet-up and our dinner party was driving in from Tempe! In comes, Yupha's Thai Kitchen! I've been here a handful of times and it was always tasty and reliable. Seating was easy and they had a high chair available for my little toddler. We had awesome service! They were very attentive and our entrees came out quickly! Our table ordered green curry (my go-to order) with chicken, pad thai, drunken noodle, spring rolls, and their gyoza! We tried leaving with clean plates, but the portions were big so we all had to go boxes. It was great to have conversations over good food and I hope to come back again for another friend-catch up dinner! read more

If you're looking for authentic Thai food in Tempe, Yupha's Thai Kitchen is a must-visit. This place hits all the marks: flavorful dishes, friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and some of the best lunch specials around. We ordered: Drunken Noodles with Chicken (mild spice) The noodles were perfectly chewy, packed with flavor, and even mild had a nice little kick. Comforting and satisfying without being heavy. Sampler Plate ! Loved this! It came with two Thai rolls, two golden curry puffs, chicken satay, and six crispy Kew Krob. Everything was fresh and well-balanced, crunchy, savory, and just a little sweet. Starter Salad & Soup Complimentary with the lunch specials and honestly delicious. The peanut dressing on the salad was addictive. The restaurant is located on Elliot & McClintock (1805 E Elliot Rd, Suite 115) and has plenty of parking. Pro tip: Come during lunch (Mon-Fri, 11am-3pm) for the best deal entrées come with soup and salad and still feel like a full sit-down experience. Inside, it's clean, welcoming, and you'll notice the walls covered in awards and recognitions--rightfully earned. You can tell this place is run with care.

I found Yupha's Thai Kitchen on Google maps while I was getting my bearings for the area. For me the most significant thing about this restaurant is the service. It's next level! I was seated, provided a menu and water almost immediately upon walking inside. I ordered my appetizers, meal and dessert...never having waited too long for each dish nor for the empty plates to be whisked away by anyone on the floor...that include the frequency my glass was refilled with water. It was a team effort, I could see that while not being overbearing. The food was well made, good quality and I dare say innovative. For appetizers I ordered satay which was delicious but when I saw on a table across from me the fresh spring roll, that looking like an herb garden, I had to try for myself a spring roll like I've never had. I'd recommend both these appetizers...the satay more traditional and the spring rolls, innovative...made from a combination of herbs, other greens and citrus. For my main, I ordered " grilled rib eye over dry green curry sauce"...don't let the name fool you there is nothing "dry" about this entree, the rib was cooked perfectly and to my liking...the sauce, I didn't know that I'd call it a "curry sauce" in the traditional sense that I've ever had at a Thai restaurant but 100% delicious. Lastly, dessert, who ever heard of custard being served at a Thai restaurant!? A final culinary display of innovation and creativity...not at all like any custard I've ever had What a find on Google maps!! A Thai restaurant with great service, wonderful/modern and innovative food like I've never had. I'll be back to the area later this year and for sure I'll be back perhaps for every meal ! read more

Not sure why 4.3 stars, honestly 3 would be best for food. We ordered the drunken noodles, beef salad and crazy curry princess. The beef salad was the best, the drunken noodles were bland and tasteless, the curry was so-so. Thai food is my favorite and this place was a disappointment. I ordered ice tea and it had a horrible taste. By the way, there was a shorter lady there that definitely doesn't like her job. She was bothered when you asked her for chili sauce. Will try other places while visiting here. Won't go back. Place is dimly lit and they sit you very close to other people where you can sit there and hear their whole conversation whether you like it or not. read more

Stopped in with a group of co-workers for lunch. This place is really delicious. The service was fast and the food was fresh. I really enjoyed my lunch and it was very filling. It had the right amount of spice as well. The only thing that was off putting was the food runner was a bit rude. She didn't walk around the table to serve people their food. She would reach over people or give people plates to pass. Mind you, it was only four of us. I'd definitely be back to try other menu items! read more
