    Tom Kha chicken
    John S.

    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.

    chicken pad thai

    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.

    Yellow curry

    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!

    Eggplant Basil Sauce w/ Chicken (spice level: med)
    Lien S.

    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.

    Thai basil chicken
    Kathy C.

    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.

    Kao Soi
    Natalia J.

    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.

    Sysco Orange Chicken
    FoodGu Y.

    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!

    Enjoying our appetizers

    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.

    First time trying Yupha's. Amazing food, had the Tom Yum soup- came with hot pot and pad siu. Great service and the atmosphere is great

    Typical Thai staples like pad see ew and pad Thai. Pretty solid and the portion is pretty big.

    My plate with chicken pad see ewe and shrimp pad pak both ordered mild, delicious but had no spice
    Ashley L.

    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.

Parking was easy, but unfortunately the service was the worst part of the visit. I sat down to look at the menu and place a to-go order, only to be told to move to another seat. A simple order of pad thai and spring rolls took exactly 42 minutes. After several follow-ups, no one told me the food was ready until I walked up to the counter myself. Overall, a frustrating experience, and I would not recommend it with other Thai restaurant options nearby.

First off...as others have mentioned, parking is a beast for sure. They have a tiny lot and if you go all the in, you have to maneuver to get back out. Ended up finding street parking close by. Next up is finding the front door! Kits a secret entrance for sure with their front door covered in vegetation but once you get it, you get it! Smallish on the inside and can see why reservations are highly recommended. We didn't have any but there were only two of us and we were offered a table out on the patio, which actually was way better than inside. Their patio is the bomb with tons of mirrors and vegetation and they had a portable air unit that provided lots of cool, moving air. They have an extensive drink menu; friend got some moscato which came as a small bottle. She said it was perfect. I just had water which is served in metal cups along with a bottle of extra water and then people are also walking around and filling your cup up as well. Service was impeccable! We both decided on the Pad Thai and an order of the pork dumplings. I am a whimp spice person and the Pad Thai is so spice unless you order it that way. Their menu has so many wonderful options! I wanted to see if I could get a combo of chicken and tofu and our server said there was already tofu in the dish so perfect...just added chicken. I wish I had taken a picture but others that are posted represent well! It was so good with fresh bean spouts, chopped peanuts, and a delicious sauce over rice noodles. Some of the best Pad Thai I have had! And those dumplings? Perfect in every way with a wonderful dipping sauce.
