We stopped for lunch on a visit to Yakima. The ambience is minimalistic and the service is very friendly and courteous. The portions are generous. The food was pretty good but I felt the Tomar soup lacked the rich Coconut flavor. All in all, we were satisfied with our meal and would recommend this restaurant. read more

A very nice surprise tucked into a downtown side street, Yakima Thai Cuisine did not disappoint. The ambiance and interior is fairly typical of local asian casual restaurants, but perhaps a little nicer than some. For example, the soda fountain was not prominently displayed, neither were drink refrigerators or stacks of soda. You may have your own opinions on the large LED screens at the counter (not a big deal). It was nicely appointed and very clean. Service was prompt, attentive without being intrusive, and very friendly. I felt truly welcome by everyone working there whom I saw. We had the Pad See Ew, Cashew Chicken, and Fried Rice. Everything was very good, but the Pad See Ew stood out. Portions are reasonable. Three plates easily feed three adults with leftovers -- granted, we're not big eaters, but we were hungry. Prices were pretty typical. We will be back!! read more

Came here with a friend and asked the owner about being Thai, as a half Thai person sometimes I get so excited to meet people that look like family and just as a person she was so sweet. If you're reading this ma'am koon mak su wai. The food itself was great and the restaurant was beautiful. Come to this place if you get the chance. Kap poon krub, pom rah koon. read more

I ordered to go, but it was my first time eating from here and it's honestly really good, solid summer rolls and such a great portion of the pad Thai, my favorite is the peanut sauce, would definitely buy again. read more

Yakima Thai Cuisine - Thai Near Me - Yakima, Washington

Very welcoming establishment, super nice staff and excellent food. Yakima is fortunate to have several great Thai restaurants!

Yakima Thai Cuisine is possibly THE BEST THAI food I've had anywhere. Thai is a top 3 go-to for me - had it in Hong Kong, Vancouver, London, SF, NYC, and where I've lived for many years - LA and Seattle. They should rename this place Pure Joy Thai because that's what it's like to eat this food. I can't comprehend why a restaurant of this caliber is in Yakima, and why it doesn't have a line out the door. (Sure, it's across from the jail and next to a Bail Bonds, but hey there's easy parking. But it's totally fine.) All the dishes were better than the next - veggie spring rolls, fried tofu, Thai iced tea, yellow curry, vegan pad see ew, sweet and sour stir fry w/ tofu, cashew nut w/ chicken. Our party had meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans, and picky kids who ordered seconds. The ingredients are super fresh, the presentation is outstanding, and the flavors are explosive. Oh, they can make almost any dish vegan. And the spice level is accurate. I would go for a 4 next time but 3 was delicious. The service is very good, it's a super cute place, they play jazz, and the food came out fast as hell. Oh, and when we sat down they immediately brought two carafes of water and a cup with a lid and straw for our little one. The menu used larger fonts with high contrast so it's easy for anyone to read. Big big points for that. I would guess that 20 to-go orders came through while we were there. But damn, you miss out on the presentation. Don't sleep on this gem. read more

I ordered the potstickers and the Pad Kee Mao. The potstickers were on point. I ordered them fried great flavor nice crunch, not greasy. The drunken noodles had great flavor however, the noodles were either reheated or way overcooked the green and red peppers were thrown in at the last moment and had no time to cook or soften. They were 100% raw. The other veggies were cooked perfection. I ordered the spiciness at number four. It was spot on. If the noodles would've been cooked correctly, this is what this would've been a number five. read more

Top-notch, fairly authentic Thai food with lots of vegan options and actual Thai spiciness options available. I stopped in for dinner on my own and ordered the pad kee mao ($16.95) with soft tofu (fried tofu is also an option), ordered it vegan, and 5/5 spiciness, hoping that they'd deliver on the spiciness. Oh boy did they ever. The food came out in about 10 minutes and was amply portioned, coming with lots of veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, carrot, onions, tomato), plenty of soft tofu, and traditional very wide rice noodles. The spiciness was wonderfully intense -- this would be too much for most, but I was happy with it. Flavour-wise, the sweet chili soy sauce was beautifully done, coating everything adequately and being balanced. I couldn't have been happier with the food here. Highly recommended, especially if you're looking for vegan options in Yakima. EDIT: It was so good, I had to come back the next night with my friend, and we split 3 different dishes: red curry with soft tofu, sriracha noodles with fried tofu, and mixed vegetable stirfry with soft tofu. All 3 dishes were excellent, just as great as the previous night. The flavours were all perfectly balanced, packing a good spiciness, and with nice depth. read more

Food was way too spicy I ordered 2/5 spice on Door dash just to be safe when I usually get 3 in restaurants I go to. It was so spicy I couldn't eat it read more

5* services. Very prompt and friendly 5* food quality. Outstanding appetizers, Thai ice tea, and soup. 8 groups arrived to pick up what they ordered. That means many appreciate this food at a nice restaurant and location read more

This place has the best Thai food in Yakima County! Everything on the menu is delicious! The owners are from Thailand and extremely friendly. It's a small restaurant but in my opinion, these little places are hidden gems! read more

I ordered broccoli stir frys w tofu for takeout, not only the portion is really sad, the sturfry was hella salty !!! I think I just got hypertension by eating them! I'm very disappointed honestly. The tofu was not freshly fried, i can tell it's already pre fried and sitting on the counter because the skin is too chewy and the tofu inside is cold. Broccoli was not fresh because it was also chewy, it doesnt have that crunch that fresh veggies have. Overall very disappointed. Overpriced for the quality and the portion honestly... read more

Yakima Thai Cuisine - Portion is small for $18+tax - Thai Near Me - Yakima, Washington

Amazing food!! Better Thai food than in Hell's Kitchen, New York. Friendly service and quiet ambiance.

I have only ordered this via DoorDash and have not been to the restaurant! That being said, I am blown away by the quality of this place! It is rare to receive DELIVERY food that is too hot to eat on arrival, yet somehow these folks manage to do it every time. Even the Crab Rangoons were piping hot AND STILL CRISPY! The Garlic Stir Fry and Basil Rice are two of my favorites. Fresh ingredients brilliantly prepared and plated with enough flare that you can almost taste it with your eyes. Highly recommended, and we are still talking delivery! Do this tonight! read more

Tom Yum Sea tastes just like overseas. I do wish it was more than just shrimp however. A medley (grilled squid, prawn, mini scallops, mussels) would be a nice touch.3 spicy is enough. 5 spicy is way too hot. Can't even eat it. But I did it anyway. Service is fast Ambiance is on a cobblestone street in historical downtown. Great location. read more

Wow! I'm really impressed with the flavors we enjoyed here! I've eaten at many Thai places and this is a definite standout. The pad kee mao with shrimp was excellent and perfectly cooked shrimp were amazing. The Tom Kha soup was also perfectly coconutty and spiced to perfection. The biggest standout was the kao soy.. this dish is a hard to find one from northern Thailand so it's not typically available. I look forward to another visit! read more

Pure authentic Thai food in town. It's absolutely one of my favorite restaurants around town. They never disappointed me.

Way expensive for simple thai food but that May be due to post COVID cost. Food was pretty good but three of us paid 75$ for three meals and an appetizer. No drinks. Nothing special sadly. read more

The husband and I tried this place out this week. The price for the amount of food is the only reason I took off a star. I ordered pad something (drunken noodles with beef). He ordered green curry (with a spice level of 3.) Both dishes were very good. I asked for a spice level of 0, knowing that the meal is made with peppers, and would still have some spiciness. It was great, and didn't burn my tongue up. I also tasted his food, and there was such a delicious freshness to the flavor. If I ordered it myself, I'd lower the spice level, but I still really liked it. We suggested to the staff there that adding a curry sampler to the menu would be awesome. Personally, I get intimidated when I see a lot of curries on a menu. I want to eat them, but I don't know which one I'd like best. A sampler would allow newbies to try several and narrow down favorites. The staff were friendly and helpful. read more

This review is for the pumpkin pork curry- if it didn't cost almost $20 it would've been 5/5. The price is really atrocious, but portion and taste were great! They also accommodate your preferences. I got level 2 spice and it tasted like level 4/5 lol, I normally eat spicy. Ordered it through their online website as other reviewers mentioned. Hope there's deals or coupons cause it's way too expensive. Inflation is everywhere but our paycheck hasn't lol. read more

Food was amazing! Definitely going back for more! Level 3 spice was perfect on the basil rice! Crab rangoon was exactly as I hoped it would be! read more

Well well, who would have thought little 'ol Yakima would come out swinging with this delicious authentic gem. I've been told by locals while staying here that there is no Thai food worth trying in the area and I beg to differ. I've eaten Thai food all over this country and this place is delicious. They do not mess around with the spice if you say you want a level 4 that is exactly what you are going to get. The pad thai is saucy, yummy wok fried flavor, noodles cooked perfectly the only thing that would make it better is a side of garlic chives or green onions. The Tom yum is authentic and all the flavor components line up the way they should, deliciously balanced and HUGE prawns. Im glad I decided not to listen and try this place out. Yum! read more

I think 4 stars is perfect for this little gem downtown. It's in a small storefront just off N. 1st St. Are used to have a dining option, but fairly recently transitioned to carry out only, no I'm told you can get your carry-on and then eat it inside the restaurant... I think you have to bus your own table though! This place is been around for a long time, but we've just never gone in here before. I think it's going to make it's way into the rotation after our recent foodventure here - Read: We had someone bring us food from here! Up front - The prices are very reasonable (like $10-12) and the servings are HUGE! We got Phad Thai, Drunken Noodles, Green Curry and Tom Kha for 2 adults and 3 kids...we're still eating the noodles (very willingly), 3 days later. That amount of food would probably have fed 10 people - and everything was excellent! You may be saying, "If it's so good, why the four stars, Matt?" Well, fellow yelper, the main reason he didn't max out (though I do think this is the best Thai in the area), was because there seemed to be jalapenos in many of the dishes. We're all for a little spice, but the delightful jalapeno isn't a Thai phenomenon. Use all the peppers and heat you want, but when it reminds me of a burrito, it took it down a notch in my book. The Tom Kha was the main dish that was changed a bit by them. It was still delicious, but not "Bathe in it" delicious. That said, we'll absolutely order from here again, we'll just ask for peppers. The Drunken Noodles are as good as anywhere we've been and the Phad Thai was classically awesome! Curry was middle of the road, though the kiddos liked it! This is a great established spot serving up some excellent Thai food To Go - well worth the trip downtown to check it out! read more

Wish i could review the food and service. Showed up at 8:50 when the closing time was listed as 9:30. The proprietors said they were closed, I felt disrespected. read more

Truly the best Thai food I have ever had. Safe to say I end up ordering take out from here at least once every two weeks. Everything I have tried is great- the pad Thai is wonderful, the Rangoons are perfect, and the Rama noodles are amazing, the peanut sauce is to die for. On top of that, the folks there are super nice, excellent customer service, and at this point know me by name lol. I highly highly recommend! read more

Yakima Thai Cuisine - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Yakima, Washington

This is top notch food but you have to understand that it is takeout only. I know that you can see lovely wooden tables and decor in the place, but there are no wait staff. The manager runs the place by himself and doesn't hire hands to assist as they were cutting into his profits too much. It also seemed like he would be paying a lot to have his restaurant downtown in that particular area so I can understand his lack of desire to expend more money for servers. Portion size is huge and prices are average for Thai food (about $12 a plate). I usually eat a ton but I was able to eat my portion over the course of 2 meals. My wife made hers into 3 meals. We were very pleased with the quality of the Thai food as well. The manager is amiable and does a great job holding down the fort. Call ahead and stop by when they're open, it's fantastic! read more

We ordered drunken noodles. But the they didn't taste like it should be or used to be. The noodles is over cooked, the sauce they used for it doesn't taste right. Also ordered chicken lab, and it was bad too, the chicken tasted like a left over boiled chicken. I wonder if they changed the owner So disappointed For the prices and the quality of the food read more

The food was delicious! We ordered to be delivered so we can't comment on ambiance but the food was delivered quickly and was still very warm. We will plan to come into the restaurant soon read more

An update: the store front is back open for dining!!They have new staff, but same great food. My husband and I love this place! It's definitely the best Thai available in Yakima. Other places are seriously bland and greasy. They've recently switched over to take-out only, which is too bad, but it's still our go-to. Our favorites are pad thai and pad kee mow, and fresh rolls!! Love the fresh rolls. The portions are huge, easily two meals worth. To all the other reviews saying the owner is rude, please remember that he's also cooking while trying to take your food order or explain that they only do take out, give the guy a break! I have never had anything but frien, polite, experiences. read more

Then why do you cook so differently than who you hire? It is catsup and noodles are the cheapest food you can buy. It is price gouging, as prices went up due to Covid-19. I am sure noodle prices didn't go up 25%. You told us you were training new staff, and yet they cook so differently than you. Wouldn't you train some one to use the same recipes as yours? There is no consistency in product at all. I have eaten in Thai restaurants in many cities across America , some were good and some not so much. It is the patron that decides your fate, not your opinions of what they should think. I was in the restaurant business for 15 years so I know the business. Quality is not what it was prior to Covid. Like I said, A few wide rice noodles with little pieces of beef and four tiny pieces of broccoli doesn't constitute a $16.95 dish. You desperately need to change you business model back to what it was. IMHO. read more
