Awesome curry beef soup. Perfect taste with Mild Spice! Just what you need on cold day. Everyone else says meal is best ever. read more

I am shocked at all the good reviews. Cute little cafe from the outside. Unfortunately food is inauthentic. Pad Grapow had a bunch of crappy, soggy, veggies, was not sweet, not savory, not spicy....everything thai food should be...just greasy and salty. The rice was not Jasmine or aromatic in any way. It was so overcooked that it was mushy and I didn't even eat more than a few bites, which essentially ruined my lunch. How can you fuck up cooking rice?!? I did finish the meat portion of the lunch, which was greasy, salty ground chicken and unripe green peppers. It did have some scallions, which would have been great. Prices were average with seven bucks for entrees. I also had crab rangoon, which was average. Wrappers were too delicate and fell apart. Little or no crab in the crab rangoon. The duck sauce was the best part: homemade and thin, it had a spicy kick. At least they served sanbal oleak as their table hot sauce. If it were not for the hot sauce I would have disregarded the rest of the meal also. What a shame. This cute little cafe could be so much better. One note, the staff here are not thai or interested at all in thai food. They do not know the menu at all and I had to open a menu and show them the dishes I wanted to order. tsk tsk what a shame. Also, what is up with all the people reviewing this place saying there are so few Thai places to eat from?!? christ people, there are three thai places on this very block alone!!! read more

I used to go to this place all the time since I loved their pad thai but the problem was that it wasn't very consistent. Sometimes it would be great and at other times, eh. Their crabs in a bag were pretty yummy though. Don't get delivery...the food does not travel well at all and is very lukewarm by the time you get it. read more

How is this restaurant? I wouldn't know. After being quoted an hour for delivery I gave up after 2.5 hours and no food. Seriously worst delivery service ever. I only live about a mile from the restaurant. Never again. Take the advice of other reviewers and never get take out from here. read more

There are four Thai restaurants on Taylor Street. Lemme say that again: Four Thai restaurants on Taylor St! Within a block and a half from each other, four! From West to East: Lemmongrass, Golden Thai, Yummy Thai, and Thai Bowl. So many options! "How am I supposed to know which one to go to?" you ask, and you persist in your inquiry "Which one is best?!" Finally your voice reaches a feverish pitch, as you shriek at the top of your lungs "I have to know!!!!" Do not despair, o unenlightened one. Your curiosity is noble. And under my tutelage, that pain of perplexity you feel will soon be mended by the soothing ointment that is knowledge. For in the sphere of wisdom, he who asks shall receive. And should you proceed with the discipline and patience of a worthy aspirant, you will find the answer that you seek.. Yummy Thai. Yep. That's the best. Golden Thai comes in as a close second. But for the love of god, stay the hell away from Thai Bowl. read more

Love this place. Rama noodles, sesame chicken and the orange chicken are all great. The food is cheap about $10 per person. Definitely a place to check out for all thai food fans. The servers are just ok. Don't expect them to check up on you at all. The place was empty when we were there so we expected our food to get there sooner which it didnt. read more

I love this place! I used to live within delivery service and would get the Garlic Chicken Noodle every time (which happened to be about every week or so) because it was so good. The delivery was pretty fast as well, thought takeout of course is much faster. I don't live around the area anymore and I miss it terribly, but I will have to stop in soon because writing about it is making me crave it! read more

This was very bad service, we received the wrong order and they refused to change it. The owner was very rude and refused to change the food and preferred to argue. We are physicians on call in the medical district and rely on the restaurants around us but will never order again from yummy Thai. read more

I ordered take out from here for lunch. It was pretty good. I got tofu fried rice and crab rangoons. both good, but the rice was a little heavy on the soy sauce. No problems with service. Its good, cheap, and by my work. Its certainly no Joy's Noodles, but I'd order again. The inside looked really nice when I went in to pick up my order. I just wish there were more veggies and tofu in my fried rice. read more

Yummy Thai??? What a total opposite name of what you actually get, it is not yummy, not at all! I'm not positive that this is even exclusively a Thai place and they made the absolute worst pad Thai I've ever had in my whole life. It was bland and icky. NOT yummy like the name of restaurant suggests. The Thai iced is OK, but certainly not a reason to visit Yummy Thai. read more

We ordered Chicken Pad Thai and Basil Fried Rice for carry out. The Pad Thai was pretty good and a good sized portion and I am pleased to report that this place remembered to comply with no peanut request and extra spicy. I have dined at several other Thai and Chinese restaurants and had to take food back due to there being peanuts. Positive notes were that it was easy to find, and it was fast. Negative note would be parking, I ended up parking in a no no zone and enacting my flashers and giving a silent prayer that the parking ninjas didn't make my very reasonably dinner cost a more extravagant outing. Thankfully I avoided their wrath, definitely would dine there again. read more

Thier food is fantastic, their service is amazing. Chicken pad thai, hot was great. Crab Rangoon was delicious and fresh. I highly recommend this local business. read more

I am always ordering here for lunch. Overall I haven't had only good experiences with the food. I always get veggies and tofu in whatever noodle or curry dish I am getting. In the summer the mango sticky rice dessert is absolutely amazing. read more

Sometime Yummy Thai is just what you need. The service isn't always ideal, but they have the best crab rangoons on Taylor street. Great for ordering delivery or carry out when you're out read more

My bf and I love this place. We're both originally from South East Asia and so have grown up eating alot of Thai food. And man, we think that Yummy Thai is good! I love their noodles especially their Noodle Delight, Spicy Crazy Noodles, and Lad Nar. The prices aren't expensive at all and this makes us like this place even more. read more

I've eaten here twice now and unfortunately neither time has blown me away. I've had the spring rolls and california rolls which are both ok. Last night I ordered the curry noodles with chicken and I ordered it medium because I wasnt sure how spicey it would be made. I was dissapointed to find it had absolutely no heat to it whatsoever. I thought the flavor was quite bland for a curry. I did however try my sister in laws Beef Lad Nar which was tasty, although I wouldnt not go out of my way to get. If I'm in the area again I'd probably give it another try perhaps I just need to order something different. read more

Yummy Thai is my new favorite lunch spot! We were a big group, but they accommodated by letting us call in our orders ahead. Once we were seated, we were enjoying delicious food in no time! I loved my Pad See Ew with beef, but everyone's dishes looked equally tasty. I have a feeling I'll be back many times! read more

I love you, Yummy Thai. especially that one awkward extra-smiley server.

It's my go-to take out place for Thai. The restaurant ambiance is pretty relaxed too. The crab rangoon and rama noodles are delicious!

Really excellent Thai with great service. I have eaten there at least once a month over the last 5 years since they opened and have never been disappointed. The pad Thai is not the best I've had but still good. The Rama chicken and hot pot noodles are my favorites. Can't really go wrong. read more

I first ate here when studying for my finals my first semester of dental school. One of my classmates suggested us ordering out and I'm glad I agreed to, because this is now my go-to place! I have tried practically every dish on the menu, and they're all superb! I'd say that the best ones are Pad Woon Sen and Beef Pad See Ewe, though if I'm feeling adventurous, they have exceptional curries as well. I guess it's also safe to say that their pad thai is very delicious (I know many people will judge a thai restaurant from their pad thai), and is very filling. The portions are very generous, the prices are excellent, and if you choose to eat in, the atmosphere is very pleasant. I mostly carry out because then no one can judge me when I eat my mountains of food haha When they get busy, the wait-staff is a bit harried and overworked, but the food is always delicious and you can see that they respect their customers. I highly recommend eating here! read more

Bring a diuretic because this place is saltier than you grandfather's comments about your interracial girlfriend ! Som Tom ...salty. Fried rice...salty. Crab Rangoon ...pretty good :) but seriously I couldn't even make it through 1/2 of anything I ordered; maybe it's just me though. read more

I ordered on UberEats, and it is way past the latest possible delivery time, but they lied and said that the driver picked up my food five minutes ago, and she just told me that she doesn't have the food yet. They supposedly deliver in 20-30 minutes, which is why I chose them, but it's been an hour already. read more

Food had no flavor at all and extremely small portions. I ordered Mongolian beef medium spicy and it literally had no flavor. Beef tasted like nothing and had a rubbery texture. Fried rice tasted like it came from a box and they forgot to add the seasoning packet. Pot stickers were tiny and also had no taste. First time and last time eating there for me. read more

I like the service, but the food is totally sub-par. I tend to rate a restaurant based on their curry since it's my favorite, and this place's curry is really oily. I also don't like how they use ground chicken instead of bigger pieces. When my coworkers want to order out, I always frown at Yummy Thai. read more

I've been going here (and ordering takeout) from here consistently for the past 2.5 years. Their food is excellent and affordable. The crab rangoon, Thai iced tea, and all of their curries are delicious. Service is quick. read more

I usually go to this restaurant for take-outs when I don't feel like cooking for lunch or dinner. It is, in my opinion, the best Thai restaurant on Taylor St. The chef really knows well how to balance the flavors of ingredients! Highly recommend basil fried rice, siam fried rice, hot pot noodle, pat thai, tom yum soup and most curry dishes. I also dined in a few times, and waiters are friendly and attentive. Average wait time for take-outs is 10~15min in the evening. read more

So I still go to this place from time to time, and as far as quantity, it's great, but it ticks me off that the last three time i went there, they never had the spring rolls in. Like really? It is that complicated to chop some veggies and roll em? So each time i got the thai fried rice, it's great. and the crab rangoon, which are always hot and crunchy. read more

This is a great option for Thai food in University City. My favorite thing is the Curry Noodle Soup... its really good! This is a cozy space with friendly staff and quick service. If you're in the area and looking for Thai food, this is the place to go. read more

Not bad for Thai food, not that I am a Thai connoisseur or anything, though the food is good. It's a small Nook when if you get there at a decent time come spring/summer theres a small outdoor seating area to enjoy the weather. read more

Its small place. but Good . Staff greet. Service is good and fast too.

Consistently one of the best Thai restaurants in the city! The service is always excellent, as is the food. I finally started to branch out from my usual 'Lad Nar' and tried several other dishes, and haven't been disappointed yet. Of course, you have to start with the Crab Rangoon or Chicken Potstickers. I just can't say enough about the service - always friendly and accommodating. They also deliver, but they charge a few dollars for the service, regardles of your order size. I don't mind that, however, as it helps to alleviate the guilt of not getting up of my lazy butt and going to pick it up! There are at least 3 other Thai restaurants in the neighborhood, but this is the best, by far! read more

nothing fancy here. just good thai food at a decent price. the folks are friendly and effieicient. i've only had a sit down meal there once and liked how they handled the lunch crowd on a somewhat busy day. mostly i get take-out from yummy thai for catering lunches for my photo studio. i haven't strayed from the panang curry with a side of satay in the several times i've been there, simply because it's been satisfying every time. again, a good place with decent prices and friendly service. all i really want from a favorite lunch spot. read more

Really big portions but not very flavorful. I have to say that overall, I was disappointed. I got carry out and when I took the containers out of the bag my jaw dropped. Easily the most generous servings I've seen in a long time. Unfortunately, I view this as a waste because the quality was not there and quantity doesn't make up for food being bland. My usual Thai restaurant was closed for the holidays so I decided to try something new. I hate to say it, but I probably wouldn't return. read more

Definitely will get your bang for the buck. Might not be the greatest bang. But, it is one regardless. You get a ton of food. But sometimes a little hit or miss with the quality of the food. Can't complain because prices are fantastic! read more

The food was okay, but nothing special, and the veggie pad thai came with corn nibblets in it. Not baby corn, but corn kernels. Very strange. The spring rolls have cream cheese in them, which tastes great, but is also quite strange. I love spicy thai food and Crazy Noodles are one of my favorites, but the Crazy Noodles here was sweet and tangy without a hint of heat. They tasted good, but were not at all what I expected or wanted. Plus, the waiter brought out all but one entree, leaving poor Beth without food for at least 5 minutes. I hate that. All in all, I'll probably go again, but only because it's right around the corner. Next time I'll try ordering my food HOT. read more

Two words: Curry Noodle. I seriously have dreams about this place. Long live yummy thai!!!

Had the chicken panang curry. The curry was good, but a little too sweat. The chicken was very dry because the breast meat was cooked too long. Food overall wasn't bad. I have to come back here to try some other stuff. read more

I ordered takeout and so cannot comment on service quality. The food was delicious here, although just a tad under seasoned. I am a huge Thai food fan and have tried a lot of places in the city. This one is definitely among the best in Chicago, although I hate to say it, Chicago does not have the best Thai food overall. I had the spring rolls, drunken noodles (they call them crazy noodles) and chicken satay. All of them were perfectly cooked and delicious. I prefer a little more spice on my drunken noodles, but the noodles and vegetables were perfectly tender. Overall a great and reasonably priced meal. I'll be back for sure! read more

I couldn't decide between 2 or 3 stars so I went with 2. I ate here on my lunch break today. Prices are okay. I ordered chicken potstickers, which were delicious and came with a sweet, salty, thickened soy sauce (I added chili sauce for an extra kick). The potstickers were $3.95. I also got sweet and sour chicken for $6.95 and it came with rice, so I got brown. The chicken was a bit tough and leathery and the flavor of the dish was a bit off so I added soy sauce and more chili sauce! The service was subpar. It took about 5 minutes for a server to come to my table. It took about 20 minutes to get my food (when you only have an hour for lunch, this is unacceptable). I had to flag someone down every time I needed something (chili sauce, a doggy bag, my check). The only time someone came to my table was to refill my water. Those potstickers were good enough to return for. If you have a limited amount of time to eat, I would not suggest going there. Atmosphere is cute but it is quite noisy in there. read more
