We shared a delicious lunch with recommendations from our very helpful server, Summer. Appetizers were the Golden Thai Dumplings with sweet vinegar soy sauce and the Tom Kha Soup. We especially liked the soup because of its rich, complex flavors. My husband had the Thai Orange Chicken, which he absolutely loved. I had the Beef Drunken Uncle Noodles. It was good, but it had a bit too much garlic for my taste. Dessert was a mango sticky rice, which our server said is very authentic to the Thai culture. It was very good and the mango served with it was at the perfect point of ripeness.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Yum Yai has wonderfully authentic Thai cuisine. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. But the food- the tom yum soup is zesty while the creamy tom kha soup adds sweetness to that zest. So far my favorite dish is the Crispy Duck Khao Soi. The sweetness of the sauce perfectly balanced with the spice had me eating it with a spoon after the duck and noodles were gone. And if you’re lucky enough, they will have some Mango Sticky Rice when you’re done. This is not a restaurant to miss.

My server Gina was amazing. As soon as you step in the restaurant, you are met with the most amazing smells. We ordered the dumplings and basil shrimp rolls for starters. So fresh and delicious. For mains, I got the Bangkok market fried rice w/ shrimp and my friend got the drunken uncle noodles w/ shrimp. A little taste of Thailand just off 280. I definitely recommend if you want to try something new and fun. Will definitely be back!
