Had a great dinner here. The food is delicious. Familiar dishes with a fresh approach. The KraDookMooTodKratiem (Garlic sauce over pork rib topped with cilantro and crispy garlic. Served with Namjim seafood) was out of this world delicious read more

Had been excited to check out Yui for a bit so I knew I had to suggest it to my friend who was back in town for a visit! She grabbed reservations for Monday night around 6ish and it was not too crowded at the time. The neighborhood is cute with tons of street parking so it worked out nicely! We happened to come during dining month so we were intrigued by the set menu options -- I went with the $35 set vegetarian style and she grabbed the $55 set as offered. I will say I really really wanted the sakoo (tapioca dumplings) and they lived up to my perceived hype!! Chewy, savory, just a tad sweet without being too sweet. The crunchy garlic bits were incrediiiible 10/10 would eat again :P For the $35 main, they swapped the meat with tofu and it came out with tasty veggies including green beans and bell peppers; spice level was peeerfect for me though others at the table felt it was a tad spicy. I also loved the over medium yolk ready egg on top of the rice. It was the perfect portion as well so I left feeling full. Dessert for me was the mochi mango ice cream with coconut cream; delish! Simple but tasty. I had also grabbed a thai iced tea which was soooo good. Would absolutely get this again. My friend's app and main were larger; as expected with the higher price point but she enjoyed both! You could honestly make 2 meals out of it. Dessert for her was the mango sticky rice which she liked, but we were sweet tooth gluttons so we also grabbed the thai tea creme brulee to share! Have to admit this was my favorite dessert by far :P She tried one of the cocktails which was tasty, but on the stronger side~ All in all, service was kind, the interior is cute, and the food is good! Get out and support Yui with its delish little bites. read more

Came here with a friend to try the Portland dining month prix fixe menu and also ordered the tomkha to share. The soup tasted good and I liked how there were different types of mushroom in it. What I didn't like was how the coconut milk was a bit coagulated in there. Doesn't look that appetizing. The sakoo was a hit. It's a tapioca ball with a savory umami filling. We both enjoyed it a lot. The main course looked pretty but was a total disappointment. The dish was under seasoned (I might even call it unseasoned at that point). I had to add a ton of chili and fish sauce to it. It also didn't come out hot. It was barely room temp. My egg was fully cooked while my friend's had a runny yolk so quality control could be better. The dessert just looked and tasted like a store bought mango ice cream dressed up with a bit of whipped cream and something like a mango syrup. It probably won't be restaurant that I would revisit but I would go just to eat the sakoo once in a while because they are that tasty! Plenty or street parking on the area on a weekday. read more

Was super excited to come here given all of the fantastic reviews. Unfortunately I think it's still a little early in their journey to give it a try. I think they need some time to mature. I'll start with the atmosphere which I do think is great. It's charming and pleasant inside with a warm atmosphere and great amount of light. It's in a fun area and a good place for small-mid size groups. The service unfortunately was quite disappointing. We came in on a Sunday around lunch, and there was only one person to service the entire room. I get they're doing what they can but it just wasn't up to par for the prices. Every one of our (4) dishes came out at a different time which left people awkwardly wondering if they should eat or wait for the next dish. Our 2nd order of wings was forgotten and by the end of the meal there was no urgency in clearing the table despite the fact we were the only table still there. Generally just disappointing. Food wise I think the food was solid but not standout. The wings were tasty. The phad Thai while flavorful had super bland chicken. The khao so we got had tons of fatty beef that was inedible. Just wasn't our favorite. I would consider giving them another try when they start to figure out the service but for now I would wait until they dial it in more. read more

YUI is a newer family-owned Thai restaurant that is a welcome addition to the Belmont neighborhood. To get here, there is street parking directly in front of the shop and around the area. Inside, they a beautiful, modern, and spacious setup with some nice Anthony Bourdain quotes too. Wifey and I pulled up with a couple friends for lunch and we were seated right away. For their menu, they have all the classics along with other authentic dishes not commonly found at other Thai eateries. We ended up getting the Shu Mai, Khanom Chin Nam Ngiao, and the Pad Thai Chicken. Everything that we had was flavorful and delicious. All of the staff here ever kind and welcoming. Definitely stop by if you are ever in the area and show them some support! read more

Great open spot and plenty of seating. We reserved a party of 5 on a weekday and were promotly seated. Ordered the KadPrao Wagyu beef that has veggies and riceberry. I opted for Medium spice. The spice level was right on the money. Had a really nice time here and water was quickly refilled. Gotta say, the playlist of Brittany Spears and Gaga was unexpected but absolutely loved by all of us! Thank you fir a wonderful experience! read more

YUI - Wagyu beef - Thai Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We recently came here for a meal and they were also part of Portland Dining Month. We ordered the $55 set menu (crispy rice salad, Massaman curry, mango sticky rice) along with some other dishes - larb, pad kee Mao, and kradookmootodkratiem (pork ribs). I would say the crispy rice salad, massaman curry and pad kee Mao were the winners for me. The pork ribs were a bit on the dry side. The place is well decorated and had a nice ambiance to it. read more

Yui is back but in a new Belmont location! The food here is so good and according to my friend who's been living there for a few years, on par with what you'd get in Thailand. The menu is pretty small and has options that I've never seen before, like their sakoo, a tapioca dumpling that's sweet and savory and so addictive. Between visits so far, I've tried the kra pau, larb subbed with tofu, green curry chicken , khao soi, panang curry chicken, sakoo, shumai, happy hour tofu, and the happy hour seafood snack. For dessert, they were out of the Thai tea creme brûlée so we ended up getting their coconut custard which ended up being a surprise favorite - the warm, creamy and slightly chewy texture of the mung bean bottom with coconut on top was absolutely perfect! Everything has been quite good, but I would say the curries seem extra salty compared to other places - to the point where I'd prefer to get take out and then add a bunch of veggies to help balance the saltiness. And I wish the curries had a bit more protein in them, for the prices. Excited to see how they do and to come back to try more of their menu - or to do takeout and add more veggies. read more

Quiet . Intimate . Service seems personal . Enough to sample from menu to keep coming back . Everything I have had tastes great . However , some things on menu are not new . Wagyu beef is well seasoned and added to a few dishes . Boat noodle soup is good . The three course meal I had was what brought me back . Unfortunately , I cannot remember the names of my entree . Hard to pronounce most menu names , let alone to remember . read more

First time having nam ngiao and it was really good! This spot was way less busy (completely empty actually) than when we went to Yaowarat down the street and honestly was comparable! The boat noodles are delicious as well, they had that addicting flavor to them that made you go back for more. The coconut custard dessert was also very yummy and that perfect pandan custardy texture Overall this is a hidden gem you don't want to miss on your way to the more touristy spots. Swing by and give it a shot, you won't regret it! read more

Delicious, flavorful, fast and reasonably priced , friendly service - we will return!

From start to finish, everything was outstanding. My husband and I both agreed some of the best food we've ever had. read more

Terrific food, great people. We had wings, Boat Soup & Mango Sala. All delicious! Giving PahDee a run for its money. read more

Delicious food, friendly staff, and they love dogs. Name a better combination. Highly recommend the curries and noodle dishes. If you've ever been to Thailand, you'll find that the food tastes the same if not better at Yui! read more

This food is unreal. I came a few years back in their old location and I was so sad it closed. Now that it's open, HORRAY! The service was spot on, they have a wide array of tables (good ambiance) and everything on their menu is fantastic. read more

Hands down, the best food in Portland! The freshness of the ingredients and the unique flavors are unforgettable. The ambiance is cozy and the owner is always welcoming. I love this restaurant. read more

Yui has returned! Delicious Thai food, very comforting and tasty. Pork ribs were oh, so tender and the sauce served with it lightened the richness of the pork. Fish sauce wings were also juicy and sticky, if you're not use to eating whole wings, it may be tricky for you to eat. I'd say it's worth figuring it out! I look forward to going back and trying more dishes! read more

Wonderful authentic Thai, one of the best curries I've ever had. Atmosphere was casual but with warm and helpful service. The cocktails were unexpectedly balanced and exciting; somewhat shockingly they were the best cocktails of our trip to Portland. Highly recommend for exceptional food and cocktails! read more

Was excited to come back here The ambiance is lovely. The food overall was good but not as outstanding as it was in the old location. The chicken wings portion were small (2). Also they seemed frantic and service was also minimalistic in nature. A bit disappointing overall. Hope it gets better read more

You should go here just for the chicken wings. Gigantic enormous crispy beautifully moist tender chicken wings.

The server was very helpful and friendly but forgot to put in my order. My dining partner got served and we were chatting away. The server asked if we were done and I mentioned my order was never brought out. It finally arrived 15 minutes later. The food was ok, not great. The chicken wings were very good. Not likely to go back. read more
