    Pad Thai

    No one around when I ordered and picked up but food looks like it was made by a 3 year old. Totally disgusting For $72 I expected better. Never again!

    Green Curry w/ chicken
    Cole D.

    Never been here before until today. Apparently it's under new ownership and this place is top 5 best Thai joints I've ever ate at. Wow. Couple of photos below. One is of the green curry. The hottest heat on it. Be warned it's extremely spicy. But it's so tasty! The other picture is a half eaten Phad Thai with beef. Food is amazing. Service is great. I will be back weekly for this gem of a hole in the wall. If you like Thai food, give this place a try! Be warned, sodas are a $1 refill charge but I wouldn't even bat an eyelash at that over how great the food was.

    Wow! This place is outstanding! My Phad Thai was amazing. I was suppressed at the flavor. I'm not from this area and found it due to the great reviews and i was not disappointed. 10/10 all day.

    This place has excellent thai food. The portion size is gigantic and the flavors are so authentic. I definitely recommend this place.

    Pad thai
    Jamie T.

    The food here is always fresh, delicious, and flavorful. My husband has ordered pad Thai each time we've gone, and loves it, and my daughter is a huge fan of their orange chicken. Their basil chicken is amazing: spicy, complex flavors and loads of protein AND veggies. I forgot to take a photo of our cashew chicken, which wasn't the best I've had but was still tasty. I also forgot to take a photo of the larb we ordered, which was larger than we expected and full of garlicky flavor. Rather than served with lettuce wraps like I've had at other Thai restaurants, this is served over a bed of lettuce like a salad. We took one of our friends here for dinner when he visited, and he had the pad see ew. He didn't mention anything specific about the flavor, but he usually doesn't eat much and he demolished his entire plate (which was NOT small)! The service is pleasant, although a little slow. However, this is a small family restaurant, so I expect it to take a little longer. Don't go here if you're in a rush, but it's definitely a good place to eat if you want to take your time, relax, and enjoy the company of your group.

    Panang chicken curry
    Yasmin Y.

    I haven't been in a while but I must say it is still delicious! I'll definitely add them back into the rotation!

    Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles)

    Absolutely delicious! One of the best Thai restaurants I have been to. Enjoyed the massaman curry and pad kee mao!! Will definitely be back!!

    Drunken noodles
    Tyler M.

    I'm not a thai aficionado and have really only ever had Pad thai so coming here today I wanted to try something different. I saw reviews saying the drunken noodles were good so I went with those (they're named something else on the menu.) This dish was very spicy and I'm not big on spicy foods but the flavor was great so I just had plenty of water handy to combat the spiciness. The dish has so much going on and many different vegetables and they all complement so well together. And the portion is massive so I'll be able to get 2 meals out of this minimum. Inside isn't much but a few tables so Id encourage take out if you're wanting to try it.

    Another excellent addition your list of Thai restaurants in Birmingham!…read more They've only been there for 6 years and I finally made it. Even though I didn't dine in, I appreciated the beautiful decor and the attention to detail. Gone from their early days during the pandemic when they were take out only to their newly renovated and larger dining area. There's nice bar with stools nearly centered in the restaurant. Employees are more friendly than you can imagine. Located on 280 near the Greystone entrance, YYST is on the right in a small quaint strip shopping area that's raised "above" 280. So if you're driving by you can see YYST by looking up. There's no outdoor seating, but plenty of tables and chairs inside with seating at the bar. They are quite proud of their Yelpies 2025 award for "Beloved Birmingham Business" which sits at the front entrance. Their menu is comprehensive with the right amount of dishes to satisfy. Every "Thai" place seems to have their own take on most dishes and YYST is no different. Their "recommended" entrees include Mango fish, Pad Thai Chakangrao, Massamun Short Rib, Pad Thai Wings and Panang New York Strip. Then they also have "Signature Plates" whose menu descriptions had my mouth watering. There's also stir fry, curries, salads, and even a lunch menu. Since I wasn't dining, I was going to do my litmus test and try their version they call Beef Drunken Uncle noodle. I also ordered their Fresh Basil Shrimp Rolls, and Bangkok market fried rice. I waited at the bar for about 10 minutes when my packaged meals arrived. I was offered a glass of cool water as I waited at the bar. The rolls were wrapped in saran wrap and I would guess were probably made a couple of days ago. Nothing wrong with that except I got unlucky and rice paper wrapper was almost crunchy. They were a little heavy on the use of lettuce, but each had 4 large fresh shrimp. The taste wasn't anything spectacular BUT their version of the dipping peanut sauce saved it. Yom Yom Yom! The fried rice was delicious. Tossed in a wok with eggs, onions, chinese broccoli and their house sauce, I had beef added as the protein and it was delicious. My Drunken noodle was very good! This traditional street food inspired dish is a classic. Wide noodles tossed with snap beans, garlic, onions, bell peppers with thai chili and basil, their version is quite good! It had great flavor and an excellent representation of the drunken noodle. Next time I might have to pay extra for a fried egg on top. Yom Yom Yom Yom! I'm glad I finally visited YYST. I am looking forward to returning and this time dining in. The Panang New York Strip and Mango Fish have my name on them!

    I really wanted to love Yum Yai, and definitely has its pros, but the noodle dish left me wanting…read moremore. First let's start with everything they're doing right! Great service, lovely decor, impressive playlist, delicious wings and refreshing drink. I like that they offer mocktails and serve in generous portion compared to many places. The Zaap wings are a must if you're a wing person. I am not a huge wing person. We got both dry and sauced to start--both yummy. I'm a big fan of Thai food so I've had really good Thai food and sub par. The crispy spring rolls were good but pretty standard like most restaurants or what you can buy in the frozen section. I ordered Drunken Uncle noodle with chicken but it wasn't even "tipsy" lol - not a ton of flavor nor moist enough to be drunken. Edible but Kinda pasty and lacking so the 3-3.5 rating factored in to my overall is mostly due to my noodles but the rest of the experience I am pleased. Maybe I just didn't order one of their best entrees. When my friend had her basil fried rice dish redone with no egg she loved it, and it looked good too. She got it with tofu. Before that something was off but the staff was very accommodating and kind. They wanted to make it right so she'd be pleased and she was. We took our moms out on Mother's Day weekend as a treat, and they seemed to enjoy their whole fried snapper which comes on a bed of lettuce with rice & sauces on the side. The three flavor fish comes with 3 sauces and there's also a mango fish. The location is convenient and I'd return to try another dish or one of their curries. They were running a unique set of menu items especially for Mother's Day weekend but it included food items none of us eat.

    One of the best restaurants in Birmingham. I've probably been here over 50 times…read more Check Facebook for hours as they are truly a family business and will close for over a week at a time for family matters. And I love that about them! Three picnic tables outside is all of the seating. Parking lot is small but there is parking across the street if needed. I usually order and then wait in my car for my food. Friday special is my favorite but if you are one of the lucky ones that dines there on a day when they have yellow noodle bowl, you are blessed. It is very rare. It says Hoover Food Mart on the sign, a homage to their humble beginnings in this building back when it was an operating gas station. Unique, special, delicious. An all around gem in the heart of Hoover.

    Yes, BP you are finally open. Lawd we done waited over a year to catch you open. Not shocked that…read moreyou are jumping and folks happy, ready for some good food. They got some real parking lot magic going on. Folks don't know how to park. It's date night, Bae and I want everything. This our first time. We got spring rolls of course, dumplings and he got the coveted coconut soup with tofu. He says yum. I hate Coconut soup. Spring rolls limited, hardly nothing, but them DUMPLINGS! Man yeah! Entrees were combination fried rice and Pad Pak. Pretty good. Real fresh veggies with chicken and an extra fried egg, just love the ingredients. It's a nice fresh herb taste with lots of flavor with little seasoning. Y'all already know, if it's for the dumplings alone, She'll be back.

    We had checked in at our hotel a bit later than planned and hence were hungry. My wife found this…read moreplace listed as the closest Thai place, so we drove there. It is located in a large plaza that spas both sides of the road. The opposite side looked more like a small shopping mall with higher end restaurants, but we didn't explore it. The side where this restaurant is located is anchored by a Publix. There was plenty of parking in the shared lot. I don't think that this place was what either of us expected, which was a restaurant where you ordered from your table. Instead, this place had a more 'hole in the wall' vibe, but in a generally good way. They had about 6 tables total in a fairly small space. You ordered at the counter and they brought the food out later. They were almost constantly fielding phone-in orders for to-go food. They had limited drinks available (including water) but no alcohol. The staff was friendly. The food came out before long, and we both agreed it was very good. My curry was quite flavorful. My wife liked her vegetable dish as well. So, just know what to expect. If you want to impress someone on a first date, this may not be the venue for you. If you are just here for the food, then this is a great choice. If I lived in the area and wanted Thai take-out, this would absolutely be my first pick.

    Ordered takeout for lunch today. Each plate was 8.99 and it was UNBELIEVABLE good. My go to lunch…read morespot for now on. 5/5 Wife Score: 5/5
