Has some pretty great Thai food. It actually has a wider variety of Asian including Japanese. Yes Thai is an obvious name about the cuisine they have obviously. A great variety of noodles and more. The food is of course the main thing but the atmosphere and staff help lots for these. Coming in here the first time it was pretty welcoming actually. It's a lot nicer looking than it seemed at first. This actually looks like a little diner to be honest. Of course there's much more than the atmosphere. The food is of course the main star. It's about $15 for an entree. There's noodles and rice options. Hard to choose. I got the Pad Woon Sen. This is a classic with stir fried bean thread noodles, along with bean sprouts, carrots, and choice of protein, which was tofu. Also has eggs and fish sauce which I left off. She got the Yakisoba which is a Japanese style. Plenty of styles to choose. There's a lot more than just the basic Pad Thai and stuff. Go here to get authentic Thai if never having it before. It's closed Mondays. There's a few things okay for vegetarians. read more

I am so pleased I finally found and made it to Yes Thai, as they are not only BYOB, they have DUCK! I was so excited. You can add duck to just about any dish. I added it to Pad Thai, and it was delicious, earthy and gamy, and paired beautifully with the noodles, sauce and vegetables. We also shared a few appetizers to start; they too are delicious. The shrimp rolls are like crispy little cones, and the pot stickers are deliciously ethereal. The inside is an elegant, clean, well-lighted space, perfect for a relaxing BYOB dinner. Bring a nice bottle, I recommend white Burgundy. Service is very friendly. We will definitely be back read more

Say yes to Yes Thai! While this restaurant has a big takeout business, Do yourself a favor and stop in to dine in. It has a modern look, and the plating of the food is quite exceptional and looks as good as it tastes .All the Thai classics and more! #thai #chicago. Food comes out quick and the service is great. There are only a couple of tables so it will never be loud. read more

Yes Thai is a staple in Chicago's Lincoln Square! Beautiful presentation of appetizers and main courses! Everything is very fresh and solid portions. - Pad see ew had nice chewy noodles with big shrimp - Lag nard was deliciously deep fried noodles with ground pork. - Kids loved the apps - pot stickers, chive dumplings, & crab rangoons. read more

Our first time here and most definitely not our last. The restaurant is nicely appointed and relaxing. Our server was also super friendly and welcoming. Everything we ordered was amazing and the portion size was great. The sauces were also unbelievably tasty. I had the cashew nut chicken and my husband had the green curry. We can't wait to come back. Our favorite Thai so far in Chicago. read more

Recently came to Yes Thai and sat inside, this was especially exciting as their indoor dining has been closed for the last year or two. The restaurant was very clean and the music was nice piano music. Our waitress was very nice and we had great service. Additionally, the food was amazing! We got the pad Thai, the garlic chicken, pot stickers and chive dumplings. The chive dumplings were not anything I've ever had before and I really liked them! read more

My favorite Thai food in the neighborhood. The red curry is always amazing & the staff is great !!

Best Thai spot in the city! Delicious food. Fast service. Friendly staff - can't beat it!

Hands down the best thai food in Chicago. The only restaurant with crispy Lard Nar noodles.

What happened to Yes! Thai? On Damen and Foster? Our most loved Thai restaurant has been very disappointing. I think the restaurant has been SOLD, I can't think of anything else. Menu has been slimmed, significantly. The known people to answer the phone and deliver are no longer around. They no longer carry their signature Thai dishes like Phuket or ANYTHING with beef. I ordered Tom Kha soup, it has bottle cap mushrooms, they said they were out. Huh? I paid full price for all the items they said they were out of ingredients. This NOT a pandemic issue. YES THAI, is no longer, YES THAI! New Owners: improve if you want to stay around here. $49.93 for food that does not resemble the Yes Thai we've experienced the last 10 years at this location. read more

Be sure to order the soups ! Friendly staff and always great - we've been eating here for years- love it!! read more

This placed is so over hyped up with Thai food. However we stopped by to order some appetizers thinking that the egg rolls will be normal size. Not the case, the egg rolls were thinner then my index finger and smaller than my pinky ring, never have I been to a place with egg rolls that small. To kick it off, the customer service was rude to us because we took our appetizer to go. Who knows if we would've had good customer service if we had dine-in. Will not be going here again. We don't know what the hype is all about. This place should be rated as a 0 if I had the option, waste of money! read more

I ordered a Pad Woon Sen for take out and had an excellent experience! I am a fair drive away, and the food was still very hot when I opened it up! Everything was cooked perfectly. The bowl is deceivingly large and it was a good dinner portion. I got the "slightly spicy" option and I think it was pretty on point. Definitely a little bite to it, but much appreciated and just what I expected. I would love to try their food in restaurant and try more dishes! read more

Very good fresh food every time we treat ourselves to carry out! Highly recommend cashew chicken! Delicious

Just had dinner here tonight. Atmosphere is a chic crisp white and service was very attentive and friendly. We started with edamame, cucumber-seaweed salads, fried tofu, and chicken satay, all full of flavor and generous portions. For dinner we had the Pad Thai, Pad Prik with pork and Chicken Yakisoba, again, very generous portions and full of flavor. This place is worth the trip from anywhere in the city and I have many friends that regularly order delivery/carryout from here that recommend it too. Sorry if I misspelled anything. read more

Very tasteful noodles, good portions and reasonable prices; this Thai restaurant is definitely a yes! on anyone's list! Try the Pad Won Sen, you'll love it! read more

Crispy noodles in the Panang Curry is the bomb! Somehow the noodles stay crispy to the bottom of the bowl. The Pad Ki Mao was delicious, one of my wife's favorite Thai dishes. We've been wanting a new Thai restaurant to try out and we were not disappointed with Yes Thai. It seemed like they were busy with a steady stream of to-go orders but we didn't wait long for our food. We started out with the shrimp shu mai which we had steamed, they also offer them fried. We found street parking not too far away. The only minor complaint was the restaurant was a little cold. Not a big deal really considering the food quality. Service was excellent. I understand they are BYOB which is a nice perk. We will definitely be back to try some other dishes but those crispy noodles will be hard to pass up! read more

A darling minimalist interior and a hundred feet from my house, what's not to love‽ I've only ever ordered takeaway, and do so with general regularity. Bright and full flavours abound, and food is ready SUPER swift. HOWEVER, the curry makes me aggressively ill every time. Every curry. Every protein. Perhaps it's coconut-cream as opposed to coconut-milk...but if I want a "deep cleanse" this does the trick...with a vengance. read more

Great food but the prices are ridiculous. How can rice broccoli and sauce cost $15.00? Really?

The best pad thai in Chicago and the best pad thai I've ever had. I just moved to the area and discovered this place and now it's my go-to for thai food. Definitely check it out! read more

Reliably good and relatively easy to get seated and park. We just moved to the area and had Pad Thai to go, it was tasty, perhaps a tad pricey, but that's inflation at work. Call to order for pick up was easy enough and it's a bright and clean spot. read more

I'm so frustrated with this place. Been coming here for almost a decade quite regularly and while the food can be very good, the prices and the service just aren't there consistently. And generally I have to wait for quite a long time past the quoted time when I pick my food up I ordered a noodle dish and asked for vegetables and they asked me which vegetables and then charge me for each vegetable as an up charge. I also did that with their basil chicken dish, which is fantastic, but I asked them to add vegetables and he charged me five dollars on three separate charges. So eight dollars and vegetable extras that were not told to me or else I would've said absolutely not. Their chicken satay is extremely expensive at over $10. I think this was my last visit here read more

Always come home with leftovers. Best thai iced coffee around. their site: http://www.yesthaicuisine.com/ 3 Entrees, 2 appetizers and drinks for $25? WOOO HOOOO BYOB! WIFI! OUTDOOR SEATING! What more can a thai fan ask for? (I see that sad first review and litterally got saddened by it. We love YesThai and have only been disappoited by service twice out of over 100 estimated visits) read more

It's been 10 years since I wrote a review of Yes Thai. During these years my wife and I have tried a great deal of what appears on their menu and literally everything is excellent. I should add that we like their food so much that we drive all the way from Evanston to dine here. We almost always start with an order of shumais, which are shrimp dumplings. We like them fried, although you can order them steamed. We hold the Yes Thai shumais as the gold standard. As we have traveled all over the U.S., we invariably try shumais at a variety of Thai restaurants, but we have only once encountered some that were equal to those at Yes Thai. This is somewhat embarrassing, but I will admit it: In the beginning, I ordered the Basil Chicken almost every time for something like 4 or 5 years. And then one day I had had enough and began surfing the menu and continue to do so. Although I like so many dishes on the menu, I will make this recommendation: Prik King with crispy catfish and either white of brown rice. The restaurant does a lot of take out and delivery orders, but the dining room is unpredictable. There are times, when there are hardly any diners and other times it's packed. And there is no discernible explanation. Frankly, I can't figure out why it's not always packed. Actually, in that last ten years there has only been one occasion that we arrived without having made a reservation and found that there wasn't a single table available. We strolled around the neighborhood for 20 minutes or so and returned to a waiting table. Service is generally excellent. Those times when it gets really busy don't bother us as we bring a bottle of wine (it's BYOB) and are in no rush to leave. In any case the food usually arrives quickly. Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 5 stars read more

It's fine. It's just fine. It's not great, it's not bad, it's fine. I honestly don't know what these 1-star reviews are about. Get a life. The food's fine, the service is fine, and the prices are fine. It's fine. read more

First order was spot on. Pad Ki Mao packed a punch and was loaded with veggies and chicken. Will definitely be returning

**Vegetarian Friendly** I ordered take out from here, but the restaurant itself is quaint and I would dine in here. They're very quick with getting to-go orders together. Our order was ready within 15 minutes of placing it. The vegetable red curry with fried tofu is delicious! They are also very generous with their portion and the vegetable portion. Their noodle dishes are so-so. We ordered pad thai and it was overly sweet, and needed chili sauce to balance the dish. I would definitely get take out from here again! read more

BYOB. A refined preparation of common Thai dishes with a flair for presentation. Only 6 specialty dishes, and one of two restaurants that serve Chu Chee sauce. Catfish and Shrimp centric. Sharing all dishes is the best option. My first CHICKEN TOM YUM Soup where I can consider it a meal. Plenty of perfectly cooked tender moist chicken. Hearty. CHU CHEE CATFISH is perfectly cooked that is moist and tender. A decent leftover. I love the big bowl of rice. If you like brown rice, get it...it looked yummy. Unfortunately, I prefer the addictive Chu Chee from Taste of Thai Town. THAI ICED TEA has 2 prices determined by with or without ice. :-) I like that it's not so sweet. MANGO MOUSSE is the usual dessert that is sometimes available. VENUE is superbly clean, organize and teensy weensy. You are SOL for seats if someone brings in a 6-pack beer. Tables are nicely spaced in a linear floor plan. Worst case scenario, take out. SERVICE is casual and friendly. I look forward to coming back for more! read more

One of my favorite Thai places - the food is amazing and the service is excellent. The best crab Rangoon's I've ever had :)

It was very good. We tried some dishes we were not familiar with previously and enjoyed them very much.

BYOB Okay, figured I had to update after such a good meal experience a few weeks ago. All food was hot and tasty this time and quite delicious. We started with Veggie Egg Rolls - yum I dug into the Sweet and Sour Rice with ground pork, despite the heat warning on the menu it was a mild spice. She went for the Drunken Noodles with Tofu again despite the warning it was quite a pleasant heat. Service was great. My only complaint was the table next to us had their faces in their phone... quite distracting. Put your darn phone down! read more

I am very lucky and live 500 feet or so from Yes Thai. I have never eaten in the restaurant but am somewhat of a frequenter of their takeout. My boyfriend and I have ordered a bunch of stuff off of the menu but we consistently go back to the Crab Rangoons, Tom Yum Soup, Red/Green Curry, Thai Fried Rice as well as the Yaki Soba. Make sure if you want it 'spicy' to notify the heat level 1-5. For as long as I live here, I am loyal to Yes Thai! read more

We've been ordering form them and even eating there for at least 9 years. The staff is always polite and on the ball. Their food is delightful and they accommodate my need for entrees not to be too spicy. seems like they do a gang-buster take-out business, so don't be discourage if the place looks empty. Pad Ki Mao is a favorite. Bring back the Papaya salad. read more

The prices here are a little higher than one would expect for standard neighborhood Thai fare; your one or two extra dollars per item are undoubtedly subsidizing the swank-ish interior makeover and the bewilderingly high-concept website. I should not have to endure gratingly cutesy animation, nearly interminable load times, and a menu spread across twelve pages. With three comparable Thai joints about equidistant from my Ravenswood love-nest, I'm most likely to give my takeout business to the one with the least hassle. Yes Thai that isn't. That being said...the food here is more than worthwhile. The pad thai needs more peanuts but otherwise is very, very good. The superstar among everything that I've tasted is the tom yum soup. Their version is slightly darker in color than I've seen before, and features a slight sweetness which offsets the heat very nicely. They don't skimp on the shrimp or the mushrooms either. Tom Yum indeed. Worth $5 but I'll bypass the website next time. read more

Tasty Thai in a fashion-forward room. Food quality excellent, service good, all your thai faves are here, you'll leave happy, yadda x3. what sets this apart for me so far is the decor and terrace dining. It's a stylish room with nice color scheme, unusual furnishings and a few cute thai tchotchkeys sprinkled about. The food arrives in oversized bowls and plates. If dining indoors get a window seat. The afternoon and early evening light makes the food look spectacular. It'll probably help your date too lol. Um not that she needs any help. Well mine didn't ;) Out on the terrace the view facing the tree canopy by Amundsen H.S. and Winnemac park (south) is nicer. There's some fairly interesting pedestrian bustle but it's not too much of a distraction. I had a green curry there last night. Waitress asked if I wanted it spicy and I said "yes but don't kill me." Then I changed it to "actually go ahead and kill me." Somehow the kitchen balanced it perfectly which is impressive since spiciness is totally subjective. But they nailed it. I asked for a second serving of rice which let me enjoy all the curry sauce and left me feeling sated. I usually get a noodle dish and the portion size is just right. chick satay: fine shu mai: fine lard nar: my kids always get this, yawn, fine fine fine cuke salad: fine So I love it but I haven't yet discovered anything coming out of their kitchen that is unique. Ultimately it just reminds me of how spoiled and lucky we are in Chicago to have so many excellent Thai restos. I'll give myself one star for this yelp review since I'm kind of punishing them for me being in a noodle rut. I promise I will try more of their special dishes soon and amend this review. read more
