I have always loved Thai food and after moving here was not thrilled that there aren't many options for Thai food and the reviews were mixed and inconsistent. I wish I wouldn't have let that get in the way of trying this place. Great! Fresh ingredients, fast service, friendly, lots of people picking up their take out orders. Only draw back for us was no kids menu, not a huge issue because our kiddo likes to eat what we eat any way. Lesson learned: Don't believe everything you read, especially Yelp whiners. read more

Oh my YUM YUM! Yea, I said it! I had to!! So the boy's bff hit us up for dinner and wanted Thai. The 4 of us (the boys and their girls) head over for some YUM YUM! They've been there once before, but we have not... We should've found this place before now! We'll definitely be back, no doubt about that! So we start out with 2 apps... Pot Stickers with sesame soy sauce & Chicken Satay with peanut sauce and cucumber salad. They were both good, but the part that stood out was the sauces! I honestly tried to lick the bowls (I did for the peanut sauce... we'll just leave it at that...)! I have the Pad Thai with beef. I really tried to order something different since this is my go to Thai dish, but I'm so glad I didn't!!! The beef had this smokey grilled flavor that ran through the entire dish! It made everything around us smell so amazing! The flavor was to die for! I will say that this was the best Pad Thai I've had anywhere yet! The boy had Curry Roast Duck with rice. He really enjoyed this dish! The duck was cooked perfectly. The curry was just the right amount of spicy. The boy doesn't eat many veggies, so I got all of the green beans that were picked out of the dish. I agreed that this dish was done very well! The boy's bff got the Basil Leaves Dish with duck. This boy is obsessed with Sriracha... He loves all things spicy and extra spicy! He put extra spicy on this dish and it was just right for him! He loved every moment of this dish with it's basil and he spicy additive! The boy's bff's girl (ya follow?) got the Basil Fried Rice with chicken. Their fried rices look really good! The basil adds such a great flavor to this dish! There are also some great veggies in here that you don't normally get in a fried rice. It's a really refreshing idea over the boring stuff you usually see! The service was good, even a little overwhelming and attentive! We will definitely be back again soon! read more

This restaurant is frustrating because sometimes they get everything right but then other times they can really miss the mark. We had a great experience about a month ago, but last week they really failed. Our waitress seemed to be very inexperienced. One of the dishes was burned but she served it anyway - she should have had the knowledge to not do that. The burned smell preceded the dish by at least 5 feet and I've never had carrots delivered black like that before. The waitress seemed to be overwhelmed and caring even though there were very few people there at the time. We think this attitude comes down from the top. We asked for a replacement dish and that too came back just slightly burned but we were hungry and were able to eat it. We tried to talk about it with the manager but she did not want to listen, she was confident that the dishes were prepared the way they should be. It took too long to get water glasses refilled, to get our check, etc.. We won't return. They've had enough chances that it is clear what their problems are and also that they are not going to address them. Almost every restaurant deserves a second chance, but after the tenth chance it's time to say enough is enough. It all boils down to: Inconsistent performance due to owner attitude and skill level. "Lemon Grass Thai Cuisine" on Ogden near River Road is better. Even though it's small and unsophisticated, the food and service are consistently good. read more

Met up with a girlfriend here to catch up and it wasn't too bad of a spot. They had a decent Lunch Special that came with soup and salad. I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and I wasn't blown away. It was okay but nothing to brag about. read more

Yum Yum Thai - Thai Iced Coffee - Thai Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

See all

More like Yuck Yuck Thai. I ordered delivery and I received my food in a bag soaked in curry. Despite this first impression I was looking forward to the food. I got the massaman with beef and mango curry with chicken. Every bite was overwhelmed with just NUTS. So gross. The spring rolls were dry and bland. The staff was so rude. When I called the restaurant I was told to go somewhere else and the woman hung up on me. Never again! read more

Had dinner last night at YYT. The chicken in the crazy noodles was very tough, not very hot or flavorful and I complained and the waiter did nothing about it. My wife liked her Thai Bowl but I never noticed any mango in it like the picture. They don't offer brown rice either. One waiter who covers take out orders and hosting just doesn't cut it. No sense that they care whether you were happy or ever come back again. Some guest had their speaker phone on for 10' is incredibly rude and didn't help. Save your money and go up to VIP Thai. Small, intimate place with authentic Thai food in Woodridge 3520 Seven Bridges Drive off 53 and Hobson. They make this delicious brown rice, too very unusual. read more

good food full of flavors liked everything. highly recommend. order in advance service is little slow one man show bar only serve beer and wine. read more

Really conflicted on how to review Yum Yum. The food is good, and reasonably priced. Lunch specials include soup, small salad, and side such as spring roll, or crab Rangoon. Soup is nicely seasoned without being heavy-handed. A good value. The service is another thing altogether. Every time we visit for lunch, there is only one server. She may be the owner. Yum Yum is not a huge place, and the service is always riduculously slow. Even when its not excessively crowded, we end up waiting. And waiting.......... ......And waiting. Oh, and if you enjoy a nice ice tea with lunch, be warned: it's not fresh brewed. It's from powder concentrate, spooned out of a canister. read more

In fairness, I really have not ate alot of Thai cuisine in my life. This is my third experience. Went in for luch. Very limited menu. Everthing came with a side of soup and salad. Noodle everything? I had a chicken peanut Pad Thai dish. Chicken very tender. Noodles, Noodles It was ok. Little concerned about the condiment dispenser? Don't know how long it was sitting there without being cleaned.?? But the hostess/ server was attentive. read more

Second time here. Food is very well seasoned, prices are reasonable for the portions. We had the garlic noodles and Tom Yum soup and both of them were excellent. We will definitely be going back to try out new dishes. Only down side is both times we had young inexperienced waiters. They weren't terrible, but we had a couple of down times waiting for food to arrive, specially when place got busier and they had to scramble. Both of them were really nice, I will take nice/inexperienced vs rude/lazy/veterans any day. read more

I am honestly floored with all the negative reviews for this place. We come here on the weekends whenever we are in the Naperville area. My husband and I have tried a number of different appetizers and entrees, and have always been completely satisfied. The woman who owns this place is very friendly, and actually remembered us the second time we came in. We enjoy the atmosphere in this place, and my only complaint is it can be quite cold if you are sitting at the high top tables near the windows (not something they can really help). Try this place!! These negative reviews have to be part of some conspiracy!!!! read more

Ate here for the second time and food was good, nothing exceptional but exactly what I want when I'm looking for red curry. The service was great, very friendly and the prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. The only thing I didn't care for were the appetizers. The spring roll and thai roll wrappers were way to thick and gummy when you tried to eat them which was disappointing because the flavor was very good. Overall I'd be back just no appetizers. read more

This is the first Thai Tom Yum soup I've had where it's tomato based. A pleasant soup, but not Tom Yum. The fried vegetable potstickers were hard and overcooked with an unpleasant sauce. The fresh spring rolls had a thick, tortilla-like wrapper with minimal, tasteless vegetables and again, an unpleasant sauce. The Rama Oriental was passable, but served with a lovely thick peanut sauce over watery, frozen vegetables. read more

The service is pretty terrible (slow, disorganized), but it's the best Thai place I can think of in the area. So here's my advice: - Go. But go with low expectations for good service. They're not mean, just not on top of things. - Go when you have plenty of time and make sure you either: a) Like the people you're going with so you can engage in lengthy, entertaining conversations full of belly laughs, tears of joy, bittersweet memories and soul searching b) Bring your Kindle - If you get the chicken wing appetizer, the wings come in a tiny ceramic boat! No shit, a boat! Plus they're really good; crispy with a sweet chili sauce to dip. . read more

Best Thai in Naperville, hands down. Family owned, very friendly staff.

Great little place for lunch right near where we live. Our waitress is always friendly and knows exactly what we like

Best Thai in the area! Portions are generous and service is good. For best taste I recommend to go during the week, seems to be that chefs are different impacting flavored. read more

We order Tum yum soup, basil fried rice and Thai crazy noodles. The food was very bad. The soup was so salty, we just tasted once and sent back. The basil fried rice was so not good at all dry and the rice doesn't have the basil flavour. The chicken Thai crazy noodles, the size of chicken pieces were bigger than the ice cubes, so big. The water class was not cleaned at all. read more

What's there not to love!? Pineapple fried rice, Garlic Noodles, Chow Mein, Orange Chicken & Crab Rangoon is the best I've ever had! Thanks to all staff members for a great experience at each visit. Owner is sweet and attentive. read more

I've been here twice now. Once dine in and once takeout. Both at lunch. Great portion and price. Dressing on salad is great, soup is unique and awesome - a good spiciness. The crab rangoons are awesome! Chicken pad thai is delicious! I ate it all :) will return! read more

I was INCREDIBLY disappointed. I was so excited and looking forward to try out this place. My food was okay and was not at all what I thought it was going to be. I left the restaurant so disappointed and I most likely will not be coming back. Unlike other reviews, I did not have any problems with the service, I was just very dissatisfied with the food. The overall ambiance was good, just not the dishes. read more

I think this is a solid place to get Thai. I've been here many times with family and friends and never had a bad meal. Sometimes they take a long time to make the food but the quality is good, comparable to good places in Chicago. Not sure if it's me but I feel like the lady who runs this place hates bringing me refills on soda. read more

Always a solid choice for Thai food. I've been coming here for a couple of years now and the food is always delicious and fast. The owner is a sweet woman who always remembers my boyfriend and I. I've had a few different dishes but my favorites are still the pad Thai and panag curry. The atmosphere and decor is modern, classy and clean. It's smaller inside but doesn't feel cramped. Overall, a great place. read more

Good portion size, we ordered 2 appetizers, Tom yum soup and 2 dishes. The service needs improvement, we sat down for 10 minutes before the waiter brings us the menu. After the soup came, there were no spoons or bowls... I would definitely come back the food was yum yum :) Updated review 12/10/2015 I've been coming here since they've been opened, each time I was hoping things will get better but they haven't. Food is getting worse, the service is slow. There are not waiters besides the pushy owner lady. I don't think I will come back again. read more

This place was not good at all I will probably never come back my garlic noodles were covered in oil and the lady kept touching me and my friends on the back.it was like she was giving us shoulder rubs! read more

Lived up to it's name. Everyone was quite impressed, which is difficult with this crew. Fresh seafood. read more

Excellent food. I went to this restaurant with a few of my colleagues during lunch hour and we tried out different dishes on their lunch menu and shared. We all liked the food, I love their crazy noodles and basil leave rice. The soup (that comes with the lunch menu) was awesome. The portions were good size for the price. I will definitely go back for more. read more

I don't understand these negative reviews! We tried this place tonight and everything was fantastic! Spring rolls, pot stickers, basil beef and chicken teriyaki. We've had plenty of bad and good Thai and this was def one of the better ones we've had. We will definitely be ordering again and soon. read more

Visiting from out of town we happened upon Yum Yum Thai when we were searching for something other than chain fast food. This restaurant hit the spot. Seems like a new location. The decor was very tasteful and "asian". The food was tasty and more authentic that I was initially expecting. That is a compliment! When stopping in some Thai restaurants the food tends to taste more chinese than Thai. Price was fair-moderate. Portions were reasonable. The owner was very pleasant. If we are back in Naperville would definitely stop in again! read more

I tried this restaurant for this first time today and was pleasantly surprised! I used to live in the city and was surrounded by amazing Thai restaurants. None of the ones I had tried in the Naperville area have compared to the ones I would eat at in Chicago - except for this one. We sampled their pad thai, chicken satay, spring rolls, and panang curry. All of which were delicious and all items I would order again. The satay peanut sauce was excellent, the spring rolls were fresh, and the curry had a great mix of flavors. The food was ready on time and well presented. The owner was very sweet and kind. I could not give it a full 5 stars because the chicken itself for the satay could have used a little more seasoning/salt and parts of the pad thai were a little heavy on the fish sauce. But overall, I would recommend to a friend and I plan on eating here once a week now since this is my new Thai go to place. :) read more

I ordered $60 worth of food shrimp in every dish the only included two shrimp in the entire rice order. the Tom Yum soup did not contain any Thai spices it was water down and sweet with no lemon grass. The food is basically Chinese food with no flavor. unfortunately the people in the area don't realize it's really not authentic Thai. whoever's cooking doesn't know what they're doing. I worked in a restaurant this for ten years. I thought I'd check it out to see what the hype is about and basically local people getting fake Thai food read more

Mommy dearest was eager to take me here for lunch one day when I was visiting her. She claimed it was one of the better Thai places in the area, and I would have to agree with here. Good Thai food is sort of hard to come by in the western burbs. This place serves all the typical Thai fixins: pad thai, pad see ewe, various curries, lard nar, etc. The Thai Crazy noodles were not as spicy as indicated in the menu. Globs of Sriracha was needed for that extra kick it needed. The pad thai was good though, not chewy like a lot of other places. And the som tam (green papaya salad) was decent, though my grandma makes it better-but I'm not trying to be biased here... Our waitress, who is also the owner I think, was extremely friendly. Like overly friendly. She was cute though. I like her. Apparently my parents have been there a few times before and she recognized my mom and they've become quite chummy. She came to ask us if we needed anything about ever five minutes. That's not an exaggeration. Good service, but it was a bit overwhelming. I don't think I will go out of my way to come here just for Thai food, but if I'm in the area, and desperately seeking Thai food that my mom can't make for me I'll come here. read more

Absolutely fantastic! I'm looking forward to going again! Nice decor, clean restrooms and good service. I loved my crazy noodle dish!!! This is absolutely the best Thai restaurant in all of the Chicago suburbs. I can't get enough of this place--we go almost every week now! Awesome food!! read more

We have been coming here regularly for almost a year. I don't know what happened but the food and service have tanked. Third time in a row that we didn't even get what we ordered. This time I complained after we had to ask for our appetizer after our meals were served. I told her how disappointed we have been with the food and service lately and she literally told me that I don't need to come back. read more

Oh dear. I hate to do this, but this is the second time Iv'e had bad service at Yum Yum. We were never greeted upon entering the restaurant. We were passed over twice by, what looked like the Only employee on the floor. When we finally made eye contact with her, she gave us the 'wait just a minute finger.' Then she proceeded to run around for a few more minutes. That's when my boyfriend and I Really looked around. Every table that was empty of guests, was full of dirty dishes. Even the bar next to us....was full of dirty glasses. We knew if it was understaffed and dirty dishes were piled up, we did not want to dine here. We walked out. I have really liked their food in the past, but now I'll not return. Yum yum...be prepared for your lunch crowd. Be tidy. And have a care for your customers. read more

Went for lunch last week and have to say, this is a great Thai place. I normally go to Bangkok Village (which I still will go to) but wanted to try this place a bit closer to home. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely, the staff is attentive and chatty, and I would imagine it has a nice vibe for dinner. I had pot stickers, salad, red curry and a Thai iced tea. All of it was delicious but the one thing that I was surprised about was that my Thai iced tea was served with whipped cream and chocolate sauce on top? It's sweet enough, anything else on it is unnecessary. Now I know to ask for it without but it was disappointing to have to dig out the extra calories - and the chocolate flavor didn't go away. Definitely will be back. read more

Yum Yum Thai - Thai iced tea - Thai Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

How in the world does an Asian restaurant serve way overcooked, bottom of the rice cooker congealed mushy rice? I cook sweet rice, it wasn't a sticky rice- it was jasmine rice cooked for about 1/2 hour too long. The rest was great, The soup was a little sweet for my liking but it had a lot of meat. But the rice...like wallpaper paste. read more

Food was really good. Had green curry, spice was just enough to make my nose run, so just right. :) Big selection on menu. Service was so-so. Table was sticky. I'd go back. read more

yum yum thai, no complaints here. There aren't a lot of asian restaurants such as this location, so definitely a place I will visit again.

The food was delicious the service was kind of slow in the beginning but we end up getting the food really quick it was the best pan noodles and basil fried rice I've ever had in my life thank you guys for the wonderful experience read more
