    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.

    Cashew chicken and rice

    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.

    Tofu Pad see ew and fried potstickers

    Such fast service and great food!! Got the tofu pad see ew with fried potstickers and it was all delicious.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Pad Woon Sen

    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!

Did not wait too long but my family does not like waiting at all Ordered the soup to share- total win. I could have poured that juice in like water it was so good. The lemongrass and fresh ginger. Reminded me of the food we ate in Vietnam. Lots of shrimp, fresh mushrooms and a nice amount for a family of 4 before our meals. I ordered the Talay Pad Pong. That sauce once again made me shake my head. Could not believe how flavorful and unique it was. I shared a tiny bit with my family. Just enough to get a try of their Pad Thai. Pad Thai: I'm always like common branch out. This one did not taste anything like any other pad Thai we have had before. It was silky and saucy. Like a Thai broth- not dry like some just barely covering the noodles. Fill our two teenage boys up. Okay, dessert. Came for the mango sticky rice . Did not disappoint. We got 1 to share. Bad move. Next time 4. One for each of us. I have no idea how they made this but it was moist, purple. Sweet mango. Really kind of a dream come true. Kanom Tuay next: not really a sharing dessert, but we did. It sits in a coconut wet custard, mochi like balls- small. Very hot. In a hurry to beat our parking meter we ate quickly and learned next time. Mango sticky rice wins our tongue. Anyways, this place is vibrant , cute, friendly and delicious! Go check it out.

The bathroom is stocked and clean. We definitely spent more than we thought we would but we also got a lot of items. The plates were also large! There's a lot of items I wanted to try but they were spicy so my daughter wouldn't be able to try it. The Thai iced tea was delicious. I would definitely get it again. The Thai iced coffee was strong..I think I would pass next time. We got the tiger cry which was good but just tasted like good steak, American style. I don't think we would get it next time but I'm glad we got to try it. The chicken wings would be a pass they were small, pricey ($16) and not memorable. The main dishes were all very good! We ended the meal with the mango sticky rice. The mangoes were sweet and there was a good portion. They have a large menu and I would want to go back to try more!

Indeed, this spot did not let me down! It is a small Thai restaurant in West Loop, with a large menu featuring monthly specials and quite a few dishes I rarely find in other Thai restaurants in U.S. For food, we ordered the following: 1. Khao Ka Moo: a stewed pork hock platter served with rice, pickled mustard greens, shitake mushrooms, sauce (similar to soy-sauce) and egg (which I opted out). It was my first time to have pork hock in a Thai restaurant. The meat was juicy and the skin was mouth-melting. Highly recommended. 2. JJ Tiger Cry: Basically grilled ribeye served with Thai style sides. The ribeye was cooked at ~medium well. I wish it could be a fattier cut and cooked for a shorter time, but my friend thought the temp. was perfect for her. It was served with a Thai sauce and cabbage+carrot slaw. 3. Green Curry Chicken: my sister's entree. The curry tasted refreshing and flavorful. It was also great that the dish came with both rice noodles and jasmine rice, so you can try both of them -- indeed, the rice noodles, after soaking it in the green curry, tasted heavenly! 4. Yum Hed. Grilled mushroom salad. There were shitake and king oyster mushroom. Served over a bed of fresh lettuce and a kind of spciy, sour sauce. Great as a side. 5. Guay Tiew Tom Tum Koong: Shrimp and rice noodles served in a generous bowl of Tom Yum Soup. It also had much veg. Unfortunately, I am allergic to some seafood so for safety I did not try this dish. Overall, the dishes are of medium sizes, but definitely enough for us. Service was friendly and quick. I may try more dishes the next time I visit Chicago.

I'm…read morenot sure if there has been a change in management or the kitchen, but this was by far the worst experience I've ever had here. The food was completely underwhelming, and when we shared our concerns with the staff, nothing was done to address them. The service was equally disappointing. Our server spent much of the time sitting on her phone while we waited for basic service like water refills, being asked about drinks, and receiving the drinks we ordered. We repeatedly had to get up and find someone just to receive attention. As for the food, the gyoza was bland and tasted like unseasoned pork. The lemongrass beef stew curry, which was highly recommended, arrived cold, had an odd texture, and lacked any real flavor. Most shocking of all were the drunken noodles. I've ordered them countless times over the years and always considered them among the best in Chicago. This time, I couldn't get past a single bite. Every dish was left unfinished. We didn't finish a single plate and didn't take any leftovers home--something that never happens for us. Between the poor service and incredibly disappointing food, this was an awful dining experience from start to finish. Unfortunately, after being a longtime customer, I won't be returning.

(Unfortunately, the sidewdalk is sloped, so the tables are sloped.) C and I order shumai, which in my experience, is served as an appetizer.

Cuisine: 4 stars - We ordered Basil Rice, to share. The flavor was different than what I have been served elsewhere. More sour than sweet. I think a better balance between sour and sweet would be better. Also, elsewhere, the rice and ground chicken are served tossed together. Here, the rice and chicken arrive on separate plates. It's difficult to mix sticky rice and chicken on a flat place. Nevertheless, the meal was completely acceptable; just a bit different. Service: 4 stars - The server was polite and friendly.
