    my brother goes to college in this area and has always mentioned this restaurant to me. we're southeast asian, and it's pretty rare to find a good authentic lao/thai restaurant in iowa. we didn't get to sit inside and eat, but we ordered for to go and the quality was great! we got the pad kee mao (drunken noodle) and pad see ew, tom yum soup, chicken wings, larb, and pad woon sen. + thai tea :) the noodles were 7/10, we got them super spicy and it met our standards. the tom yum soup here was 8/10, though it did taste like the vietnamese soup "canh chua" but still very yummy! the asian female server that was working was super sweet to me and my family and provided amazing service. i took pics of the menu bc ive seen that no one has posted updated ones so i hope this helps! i would've taken pictures of the food but we ate it too fast! as a southeast asian myself i 10/10 recommend this to anyone looking for thai/lao food around here!

    Love Yings Kitchen! Their crab rangoon is amazing. Had that last night. Also had some hot and crispy potstickers and a an iced green tea that was wonderful and sweet! I'll be ordering that again. The atmosphere is very nice and homey. Very comfortable, and not freezing cold like so many restaurants in the summer. The server was very fast and efficient.

    Good food, good service. Solid Thai food unexpectedly found in small town Iowa. I recommend trying them out.

    I have gone to Lakeshore Pho several times since they moved to the new location. I hadn't ever been…read moreto the previous location so I can't compare anything to then. I enjoy Lakeshore Pho, I have eaten there with my cousins there were 8 of us, and we just walked in unannounced. They were busy but they were able to accomodate out group, and food came out fairly quickly, but not all at once. Some people had to wait an extra 5 mins to get what they ordered.ut all the food tasted great and the offered large servings. I ate 3 helpings of the curry I had ordered. The basic curry dish was so large I had to get another side order of rice. I was stuffed and still ended up taking a whole serving home also.Which tasted great hours later. I have since been back to try their noon bufffet. I really enjoy their noon buffet. They have one beef and veggie dish that is super good in the buffet, but I don't know what it's called. I like their curry, aswell. Actually I haven't found anything in the buffet I'm not a fan of. A couple of weeks ago I went to the buffet and they had some electrical issues with the heating element on the buffet unit. So I had to order off the menu. The food came quickly, and was good. I noticed they had cut back on their serving sizes, as I was able to eat what I was served, in one helping as opposed to 3-4 servings from the first time I was there. Which I can't fault them for, it's just good usiness sense. The prices are good, the wait staff are cordial. Especially the older gentleman that works there. He is very attentive, and cheerful. I like taking my family and friends there too! On one inmprompt to occasion, I ran into a cousin of mind there, who was getting take out. I invited her to join me for lunch, and we had a very enjoyable lunch together. I live in Cherokee, it's about a 30 min drive to get to Storm Lake, but I gladly drive it, to eat lunch there. I'm looking forward to the next time, I dine there.

    Last time I was in the area I drove through and got food here. I loved the curry enough that I made…read moresure the second time I was here to stop and eat here again. The food is great, service is friendly, and the restaurant is clean and homy.
