    This place claims to have a variety of Asian foods, such as Thai, Indian, Nepali, and Chinese. Quite honestly, it was an absolute disappointment. The Nepali Pork Momo was disgusting. I hated it and didn't finish it. The meat tasted processed and the flavors were overwhelming. Nothing about tasted authentic or fresh. My chicken wasn't bad and the flavors from the grill were great, but unfortunately it was very dry and even though it was dark meat which cooks pretty fast, I assumed that this chicken was either pre-cooked earlier in the morning or the night before in order to be ready so quickly and cooked all the way through. I guess I shouldn't expect too much in an area such as this for Asian food since this is not a predominantly Asian area, but I was still hopeful. The people who work there were extremely nice and they worked very hard.

    Butter chicken and garlic naan
    Renee H.

    I had the day off of work so I wanted to go catch the all you can eat buffet! It's normally just weekdays and during the hours I work. So I was excited to get to check it out! Sam and Rose greeted us with a smile. They are so kind. They allowed us to switch to our usual table once the patrons finished their meal. I tried a little bit of everything on the Buffet. They have white rice as well as fried rice (not the same as you get from Chinese restaurant, but good!). Every.single.thing.had amazing flavor!!!! I am a butter chicken lover so of course I enjoyed that. But the tandoori chicken and darzeeling potatoes were incredible!!! The lentil soup is packed with flavor and has a bit of a kick to it. So good! Even their rice pudding was full of flavor and creamy consistency. I believe the brunch is about $15. Great value and ready to eat, so a quick lunch is possible. Go try this place out! Or get it delivered. You're going to love it!

    Tofu drunken noodles and curry in the background.

    We ordered massaman chicken curry, chicken pad Thai, tofu drunken noodles. The Indian tea was the best we've tasted. The drunken noodle was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of heat ( I ordered level 3). My husband loved his curry and my son finished his pad Thai in record time. And don't forget their garlic naan. It was made while we were there. So delucious. Can't say enough about their food and the people are so polite. The restaurant is nothing fancy but don't let that fool you. The food was worth it. I give them 2 thumbs up!

    This place never disappoints. The food is excellent and full of flavor. The owners, Rose and Sam, are such sweet people, and they run a great restaurant. They are originally from Nepal and we've been to Nepal and India. Their Nepalese and Indian food is authentic. We have tried many different Nepalese and Indian dishes, and they have all been delicious. They have a buffet at lunch, and it's wonderful. You can still order off the menu at lunch if you prefer. Be sure to order momo (Nepalese dumplings). Oh, so good. And the dipping sauce kicks up the flavor even more. The service is always great. Restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is welcoming. Give Yummefy a try. You will be glad you did. The street parking can some times be difficult, but there are parking lots across the street that gives you easy access to Yummefy.

    Shrimp Pad Thai
    Santana C.

    I wanted to try a place I had never been to before, so I chose yummefy. I'm so happy I did!!! Their menu is hugeeeeeee, it tooo me forever to decide what I wanted lol. I ended up getting the shrimp pad thai and mango lassi. Omgggggg, that pad thai was absolutely delicious. The portion was so big I was able to make it dinner. The mango lassi was so refreshing on a hot day in Birmingham. I will definitely be back to try other menu options

    Karin B.

    Soooo good! Food was full of flavor and high quality. We got the coconut soup, spring rolls,naan and a couple different curry dishes. All were amazing. We will be back! Parking was easy and it was close to the interstate which made it a great stop.

    Mango Mochi Ice Cream

    Yummefy is a sweet family own business located in downtown Birmingham near the hospital system. Always attentive and quick service. They have a variety of dishes available on the menu. We enjoyed the pad Thai and coconut curry. The mango lassi was incredibly filling - we wish we would have shared one to leave more room for our food. For dessert, I am a huge fan of ordering the mango mochi! Perfect for a quick and casual lunch break of dinner.

    Drunken Noodles
    Patrick R.

    Back again for more Yummefy! Sam and his wife took care of us all again. I have since dropped rice from diet so they gladly swapped gave me some delicious veggies. Anderson and drunken noodles, and Nikolai went butter chicken. Split a couple baskets of Naan, boba, and some mochi! Everything was outstanding!

    Fusion indeed, authentic Indonesian and Nepalese cuisine. Great food served fresh, hot and fast. The food was only surpassed only by the service. The atmosphere was so welcoming. They treated us like family. We even made some new friends from Canada! 10/10 recommend

    ghorkali chicken

    My friends and I came in for an early dinner--the restaurant was quiet but relaxed and cute inside. The man who served us was super helpful and kind, and our food came quickly and was delicious. We started with buttery, fluffy naan bread, but the mains were absolutely the highlight. This place is a Nepali/Indian spot but has more general pan-asian options as well. I was worried about being unadventurous but got the drunken noodles at the recommendation of the owner, and it was genuinely the best iteration of the dish i have had. The flavor had much more depth than the generic, sometimes overly sweet sauce typical of americanized chinese cuisine. I ordered it medium spicy and found it fairly mild. My friends also loved their meals--Ghorkali chicken and tandoori chicken. Totally recommend this spot!

    Himalayan Chicken
    Paul C.

    David L. and I had lunch today at Yummefy. The restaurant was not busy, and we were seated promptly. The restaurant has a casual family-run atmosphere. Service was just okay because our waitress was difficult to understand. She is very soft-spoken and has a strong Asian accent. There is no lunch menu, and the dinner portions are big for lunch. On our visit, the food was served in to-go containers so it was very easy to take the leftovers home. I ordered the Spicy Himalayan Chicken and thought it was just okay. The chicken had a thick batter that really masked the chicken. The sauce was spicy and a hint of sweetness. It is stir fried with vegetables and served with rice. David ordered the Spicy Mountain Noodles with shrimp. I'm assuming this is a Napali dish. The dish is similar to Chinese stir-fry noddles, but the sauce is dry. This dish was spicy and we liked the flavor. I was disappointed because the shrimp were very small. As a bonus, if you check-in on the Yelp app you get 10% discount. Unfortunately we did that but forgot to use ours.

    6 piece chicken Momo - 6 Pieces - 6 Piece
    Rachel E.

    Me and my mom wanted to try something different so take this review as a complete novice review. We ate inside and spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out what to get LOL. However, we chose to try the chicken dumplings (momo) and i ordered drunken noodles with shrimp and my mom got the dragon chicken stirfy. The momo was delicious along with the dipping sauces but I was not pleased with the drunken noodles. There was one ingredient that was completely off putting for me; however, the owner listened and i told her i wanted what my mom ordered and she was super polite and caused no issue to get that fixed. She also helped us understand the meals we inquired about before ordering. The dragon chicken stir fry!!!!! DELICIOUS. Comes with a side of ride and loved that the chicken was mild, not spicy. I think next time i will sit outside or do take out. The decor was nice but not my style (or shall i say my faith) BUT nonetheless, good experience

    Chicken Tikka Masala! Very flavorful and pork MoMo 6 Piece.
    Jada C.

    I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and it was very flavorful! Better than I expected:) I also got an order of the pork MoMo and it was good too. Not sure how I felt about the sauce they come with but I still enjoyed both dishes. I ordered Togo but from what I saw the restaurant is clean and service was quick. Will be going back!

    Another excellent addition your list of Thai restaurants in Birmingham!…read more They've only been there for 6 years and I finally made it. Even though I didn't dine in, I appreciated the beautiful decor and the attention to detail. Gone from their early days during the pandemic when they were take out only to their newly renovated and larger dining area. There's nice bar with stools nearly centered in the restaurant. Employees are more friendly than you can imagine. Located on 280 near the Greystone entrance, YYST is on the right in a small quaint strip shopping area that's raised "above" 280. So if you're driving by you can see YYST by looking up. There's no outdoor seating, but plenty of tables and chairs inside with seating at the bar. They are quite proud of their Yelpies 2025 award for "Beloved Birmingham Business" which sits at the front entrance. Their menu is comprehensive with the right amount of dishes to satisfy. Every "Thai" place seems to have their own take on most dishes and YYST is no different. Their "recommended" entrees include Mango fish, Pad Thai Chakangrao, Massamun Short Rib, Pad Thai Wings and Panang New York Strip. Then they also have "Signature Plates" whose menu descriptions had my mouth watering. There's also stir fry, curries, salads, and even a lunch menu. Since I wasn't dining, I was going to do my litmus test and try their version they call Beef Drunken Uncle noodle. I also ordered their Fresh Basil Shrimp Rolls, and Bangkok market fried rice. I waited at the bar for about 10 minutes when my packaged meals arrived. I was offered a glass of cool water as I waited at the bar. The rolls were wrapped in saran wrap and I would guess were probably made a couple of days ago. Nothing wrong with that except I got unlucky and rice paper wrapper was almost crunchy. They were a little heavy on the use of lettuce, but each had 4 large fresh shrimp. The taste wasn't anything spectacular BUT their version of the dipping peanut sauce saved it. Yom Yom Yom! The fried rice was delicious. Tossed in a wok with eggs, onions, chinese broccoli and their house sauce, I had beef added as the protein and it was delicious. My Drunken noodle was very good! This traditional street food inspired dish is a classic. Wide noodles tossed with snap beans, garlic, onions, bell peppers with thai chili and basil, their version is quite good! It had great flavor and an excellent representation of the drunken noodle. Next time I might have to pay extra for a fried egg on top. Yom Yom Yom Yom! I'm glad I finally visited YYST. I am looking forward to returning and this time dining in. The Panang New York Strip and Mango Fish have my name on them!

    I really wanted to love Yum Yai, and definitely has its pros, but the noodle dish left me wanting…read moremore. First let's start with everything they're doing right! Great service, lovely decor, impressive playlist, delicious wings and refreshing drink. I like that they offer mocktails and serve in generous portion compared to many places. The Zaap wings are a must if you're a wing person. I am not a huge wing person. We got both dry and sauced to start--both yummy. I'm a big fan of Thai food so I've had really good Thai food and sub par. The crispy spring rolls were good but pretty standard like most restaurants or what you can buy in the frozen section. I ordered Drunken Uncle noodle with chicken but it wasn't even "tipsy" lol - not a ton of flavor nor moist enough to be drunken. Edible but Kinda pasty and lacking so the 3-3.5 rating factored in to my overall is mostly due to my noodles but the rest of the experience I am pleased. Maybe I just didn't order one of their best entrees. When my friend had her basil fried rice dish redone with no egg she loved it, and it looked good too. She got it with tofu. Before that something was off but the staff was very accommodating and kind. They wanted to make it right so she'd be pleased and she was. We took our moms out on Mother's Day weekend as a treat, and they seemed to enjoy their whole fried snapper which comes on a bed of lettuce with rice & sauces on the side. The three flavor fish comes with 3 sauces and there's also a mango fish. The location is convenient and I'd return to try another dish or one of their curries. They were running a unique set of menu items especially for Mother's Day weekend but it included food items none of us eat.

It is located in a large plaza that spas both sides of the road. The opposite side looked more like a small shopping mall with higher end restaurants, but we didn't explore it. The side where this restaurant is located is anchored by a Publix. There was plenty of parking in the shared lot. I don't think that this place was what either of us expected, which was a restaurant where you ordered from your table. Instead, this place had a more 'hole in the wall' vibe, but in a generally good way. They had about 6 tables total in a fairly small space. You ordered at the counter and they brought the food out later. They were almost constantly fielding phone-in orders for to-go food. They had limited drinks available (including water) but no alcohol. The staff was friendly. The food came out before long, and we both agreed it was very good. My curry was quite flavorful. My wife liked her vegetable dish as well. So, just know what to expect. If you want to impress someone on a first date, this may not be the venue for you. If you are just here for the food, then this is a great choice. If I lived in the area and wanted Thai take-out, this would absolutely be my first pick.

    We were really craving Thai food and decided to order takeout from Senlek, and I'm so glad we did…read more I was pleasantly surprised to see that all of their takeout containers were slightly vented to prevent moisture buildup, helping keep everything crispy and maintaining the quality of the food. I've ordered takeout from countless places and have never seen that level of attention to detail. We tried the spring rolls, beef short ribs, pad Thai, and panang curry, and everything was delicious. The sauce that came with the spring rolls was amazing, and the sauce for the beef short ribs was just as good. So much flavor. The panang curry had a nice little kick, and the pad thai had the perfect amount of peanuts on top. My only minor complaint was the beef in the curry and pad Thai - it wasn't nearly as flavorful as the short ribs. That said, it definitely didn't stop me from enjoying either dish. I also want to add that I had the chance to speak with two staff members, and both were incredibly welcoming and personable. Great food and great service. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

    Cozy atmosphere but seems like the AC isn't working today but that's not their fault…read more Service was spot on and answered some questions for me after I got my meal about what I had. The food was a bit different than I'm used to getting at Thai restaurants and I will explain that below. Let me start with the Papaya salad. It was excellent. Possibly the best I have had. It had fresh green beans in it which I thought was very unique. We ordered it medium spice and it was spot on. I had the Chicken Pad Thai. This is where I had questions. I liked the idea that they used a cut up grilled chicken breast very different. There also some other cubes in it and that was what I had to ask about. It was tofu and the firmest I've ever had. Not heavy on the tamarind which I appreciate. On the scale it was good. What my wife had was where they fell down. She had the red curry and it was just ok. It was quite watery which muted the flavor of it.

    Kati Thai Cuisine in Gadsden is your first and last stop for Authentic Thai in Gadsden!!…read more We were in town visiting our grandson and were craving Real Thai food. This little place is exactly the kind of hidden gem you hope to find--completely unassuming from the outside, a true "hole in the wall," but serving absolutely incredible food with stellar service inside! We started with the Nam Sod, and it instantly took me back to my childhood. It was served the traditional way with crisp cabbage leaves for scooping up every bite of the spicy, flavorful ground pork. Fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. I ordered the Tom Yum Goong; which is my scale for measuring a Thai restaurant's authenticity, and it was perfection. The broth had that unmistakable umami flavor with just the right balance of spice, tanginess, and aromatics. The prawns were large, fresh, and cooked perfectly along with the perfect mix of herbs. My husband ordered the Pad Kra Pow with chicken at a FOUR-PEPPER chili heat, and it was exactly what he was hoping for--bold, spicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. Our daughter stuck with her okd favorite, Pineapple Fried Rice with chicken and shrimp. She's quite the rice connoisseur, and her enthusiastic thumbs-up said everything that needed to be said! The service made the experience even better. Our sweet blonde server was warm, attentive, and even took the time to share travel tips and local points of interest around the area, making us feel like welcomed guests instead of just customers. Great food, friendly people, generous portions, and authentic flavors--everything you hope for when you're looking for Thai cuisine. We'll absolutely be back again before we leave Gadsden!

    My God, I thought fine dining had finally died, especially after covid. Current Charcoal Grill is…read morethe first restaurant I've been to in years that still understands and executes on everything that makes eating out enjoyable. The service is *excellent* with a capital "E." We ate at the bar, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about every single aspect of the restaurant. They have tried everything on the menu themselves. They can describe any one of the imported liquors up on the wall. These are real deal professionals who illustrate just how important the people in a restaurant's front truly are. The food? Delicious. It's a wild grab bag of East Asian fare - Chinese, Japanese, Thai - and it's all done extremely well. The portions are small, which is good, since you'll want to try half a dozen things on Current's very deliberately thought-out menu. The Peking Duck is some of the best I've had. The cocktails are also excellent, with my favorite being a delicious, earthy combination of coconut, lime, and pandan. It's like an extremely upscale tiki drink. I cannot recommend this place enough. Absolutely perfect. 5 stars.

    My friend, Julia, and I tried current the other night! We walked in and immediately loved the vibes…read moreand upscale, quirky, modern feel of it all. High ceilings and exposed brick are a few of the ways to my heart. If you've seen a post about this place, you've probably seen a picture of the crackly round, artistic dish and wondered what it was. There are dumplings on the underside of it and you break each one off of the crackly part to enjoy. We did enjoy these but I would've loved a soy sauce to dip them in. They came with chili crunch, peanuts, and green onions but I wanted an actual sauce. They were very standard tasting dumplings and there was nothing extraordinary about them unfortunately. As always, we'd looked at the menu beforehand and decided what we wanted. It does state on their website that their menus can change due to freshness and availability. But we'd both decided on an app and entree we wanted only to get there and have none of them on the menu. I do appreciate a rotating menu to accommodate local items, but I would also love for those to be updated on a regular basis. So after rerouting, we decided on the chicken skewers as another app with the dumplings. These were chargrilled, flavorful, and had a nice crust on them. I got shrimp fried rice and Julia got spicy beef noodles. It was fine but I wish the shrimp wouldn't have been cut up. It felt like they chopped them up in order to not put as many in the dish. At $25 for this, I'd like whole shrimp please. There were a few pieces of raw spinach with pepper on the top. I would've loved a sauce of some kind. I would've preferred shrimp hibachi with fried rice from a Japanese place that included vegetables and sauces. This was not *bad* there was just SO much room for improvement. We both agreed that nothing was awful, but for these prices and the hype, we expected more. Our waitress was super friendly. Bonus points because they had match boxes at the host stand! There was a paid parking lot diagonal from the restaurant, so we had to walk through an intersection to get there. There are some spots up front if you can snag one. Overall, we enjoyed our time here but won't be sprinting back.
