I've eaten here twice, once on a date and once with my family. I'm still not sure which one was better. The only thing I remember about the first time was that I ate a meal that was called "Tiger." If you waterboarded me for three straight years I still wouldn't be able to give you any concrete details on what exactly was in it; I'm pretty sure I ordered it just to say "I just ate Tiger" to my roommate when I got back to my apartment. I don't remember much of the date either to be honest so neither one must have went too swimmingly. Second time was Thai chicken wings. "Surely you jest" is going through your mind right now, right? I do not jest and don't call me Samson. I'm pretty sure I ate them wrong by just diving right in with my hands but whatever, white male privilege and all that, I'm going to eat my chicken wings how I damn well please. They were covered in brown sesame sauce/seeds and went down the gullet real fast. Occasionally I'd stop to mix in some rice but the main objective was to make the wings disappear. Mission accomplished. The appetizer for the meal was "Crabs in a Bag." I probably could've eaten 24 of those things on my own and one day just might do it. Trying to have any sort of conversation inside when more than one table of people is seated is damn near impossible. The sound reverberates off of the brick walls and tile floors to create a mess of ugly noise. I'm pretty sure that kind of killed any ambiance or real connection during the date night, but I'll choose to blame her for the awkward pauses simply because I can and it's funnier that way. So basically, it's pretty good. read more

went there for the first time and love the pad thai. the chicken satay was ok. The thai coffee not the best I have ever had but not bad afer a long day of meetings. The chicken curry was very tasty and spicy.yum! the service was fast and friendly. the restaurant looks a little run down and a little dirty. It was also too cold inside. But they will see me again the next time I visit Chicago. read more

New to Chicago, so happy to find a delicious, affordable Thai place in the neighborhood. Really great flavors, spice... so surprised to find it was some of the best we've had. New go-to delivery spot! Loved the drunken noodles. read more

I use to really like this place when I was back in college. The food is fast and inexpensive. Since then I haven't really been back to the UIC area and have found other Thai restaurants to eat at. From what I can remember I think the pad thai here is good. read more

Unfortunately, this place was not so yummy. I ordered a spicy chicken noodle dish, which was not spicy at all. It actually lacked seasoning all together, and the green beans in it for some reason were completely undercooked. I don't normally complain about service at any place I eat under $10, but we waited about 30 minutes for someone to take our order and even longer for the food to come out. It was not actually busy, so I'm not sure why that happened. Sadly I'm still searching for a decent Thai place in Chicago. read more

yummy thai is definitely yummy :-) whenever we order food on the weekends at work and the decision is thai my vote goes to yummy thai! I love their panang curry the best! No one makes it quite the same and the spinach potstickers are so yummy! ;-) the sweet sauce that accompanies it makes it all even better. the food is fairly inexpensive and quick delivery. the basil fried rice is top knotch as well...over all they are always a hit and never a miss. dine in is also pretty good...service is polite and quick. I am a huge fan and keep going back. read more

Every food has too sweet. I guess they put a lot of sugar (or equivalent) to every food. However, they DO have generous portion, and I am thinking about adding more rice to their dish so that I make a portion for 3 meals and decrease the sweetness they have. My favorite dish is the combination fried rice. Other than being too sweet, they are good. read more

I love Yummy Thai but the delivery is horrible. They have been consistently late each time and by 15 minutes or more beyond the usual 45 minute window. The food is really good and if you like hot, then you'll absolutely love it. But order 2 hours before you're hungry...boo. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Great curries, especially Panang, AMAZING Thai iced tea (go figure) and very very affordable meals. Stay away from the Rama Noodles as it is a disgusting Crisco concoction. Pick CURRIES etc. Service not so great, but for the price: 5 stars. read more

We ordered some tasty take out from Yummy Thai recently. My husband really liked his chicken pad thai. The pad see ewe was good and not too salty. We also got a crab in bags appetizer, which quite literally looked like something in a stuffed paper bag but came with that tasty sweet sauce. The filling was a little bland. Delivery was timely. read more

Very decent Thai place for students in the neighborhood! I love the Pad See Ew, I usually order beef for it, and they always make it so tender, surprisingly delicious!! I also enjoy the fried tofu appetizer a lot. Price is really reasonable. Given how many Thai restaurants in the Tri-Taylor area, this one makes awesome food. I've tried Golden Thai & Thai Bowl, and this one definitely outdid the other two. I'll def become a regular since I live just 3 blocks away :) read more

Overall not a great dining experience. Had soup and bit into something that tasted really strange and very strong- almost like potpourri. Chicken Pad Thai just ok. Much better thai food at other places in the area. read more

when i lived in Printer's Row, i would order from here so much. in fact, whenever i'd have to work an opening shift (5am-ish), the night before, i would order two dishes and an order of eggrolls and cram it into my face while watching a movie so i can pass out by 9pm to get enough rest to wake up by 3. i wish i was eating here right now! read more

A solid "ok" in my book. The Pad Thai is bland, surprisingly so. Thai rolls (which are what most places would call spring rolls) are good, papaya salad is decent, and the tom yum soup is.. ok. It's all "ok" or "decent" so far. The service, however, isn't. I went in tonight and was the only table for about half of my meal, but barely saw the servers. No refill on my tea (just green tea, not some fancy thing with condensed milk), plates didn't get cleared, etc. But the food was ok. I'll have to try the Thai Bowl down the street. read more

I have lived down the street from Yummy Thai for over four years now. Every time the food has been good, be it carry out, dine in or delivery. I love the Spicy Crazy Noodles (I like them crazily spicy) and have them nine out of ten times I go there. The ginger Tofu is awesome too. Its one of the few Thai places that has good veggie noodles. read more

Service was extremely slow and the food wasn't worth the wait. Very disorganized, crowded and loud.

Their Pad Thai is great! The flavor was perfect! I will definitely go there to try some of their other items on their menu! I wish their place was bigger because many people came to eat there but they had less seats. Service was fast and everyone is really nice there. read more

Awesome Thai cuisines. Smoking hot dishes. One of the best Thai restaurants in entire Taylor street. Quite good ambiance for dinner. Only catch is that it closes too early. read more

I liked it here a lot. They are very veggie friendly, and I liked their pad thai a lot! It was simple, not too sweet or bitter. They are a little expensive compared to a lot of other thai places in the area (except Lemongrass, apparently), but the food quality is definitely there. read more

Really I do not know Thai food... I like pad thai and they make the best. Plus it is a really good deal, if you order $12.00 of food to go there are coupons on the menu for a free appetizer. It is a great deal, for $12.00 I get pad thai, spring rolls and egg rolls and I can have lunch for two days. read more

I love this place! The chicken potstickers are great, and the spinach pot stickers will make you "slap your mama." Every dish that I have tried here has been great. read more

Love Yummy Thai - definitely a go to for my husband and I to have a cheap yet tasty dinner. Especially since its BYOB!!! We started with the crab rangoon - theirs are pretty standard and satisfying. I also had the cucumber salad, which I LOVE - the sweet and tangy dressing is perfect. And the salad is huge. My husband has the Thai Basil Chicken, delicious. I had the udon noodle soup - which had a really flavorful broth, rich noodles, veggies, and meat. My only complaint was the "crab" in my soup was of the imitation variety - but the whole meal was $34.00, so I can't complain! read more

Yo. YO. I mean really. I love Yummy Thai. I wish they made tee shirts and baseball caps because I would wear them all the time and probably try eating one. Their food is all delicious. Pad thai? CHECK- chicken, shrimp, beef, tofu. They're all great here, and I've had them all many times. The orange chicken is basically the best thing ever (okay maybe not, but it's pretty friggin delicious). And the portion sizes are HUGE. I can never finish an entire portion of anything when I'm there , and trust me I have a lot of room and try very hard. Their fried rices and even the chicken dumplings are delicious. This is my go-to Thai food place. I go to UIC and tell all my friends to go there. I take dates there all the time. Friendly, quick service and delicious food have made me a regular customer. read more

The food is decent but the service is terrible and they are disorganized. We put in a group order for pickup, got there, and had to wait 30 minutes because they had given our order away. I get that accidents happen,but we weren't offered a credit, discount, or even an apology. While waiting all of the staff were yelling at each other and the atmosphere was tense. Wayyy to dramatic for a lunch run. The food is not worth the aggravation. Not going back. read more

If you want mediocre thai food with the worst customer service and horrible delivery times this is your place. 1 hour and 50 minutesto deliver...I live 1/2 a mile away. If i wold have known that i wold have driven to pick up their terrible food. You're much better off ordering from Manee Thai, butterfly or just call Dominoes. Don't waste your time. read more

I always have a good experience here whether it's take out or eat in! I go to the UIC School of Public Health, and this place is just right down the street from my university. I always love having their crab ragoon and panang curry. read more

Best Crab Rangoon! believe me I have tried at so many places.. they are the one! I order Red curry and Yellow curry, they are also good!

I must say that this is my go to place when I crave thai. A small place usually crowded at lunch time, great atmosphere.Ordered the red curry, Basil Chicken, tofu satay, spring rolls, pad woon sen, orange chicken. The crab rangoons are a must. Crispy and cooked to perfection. The Panang curry was amazing (non spicy), would order this again read more

I've always ordered the chicken pad Thai for the last 8 or so years, I always use it as my comparison when trying new restaurants.

Banana Duck Curry, delish, but I wish they had mock duck. Spinach potstickers, also good. Also is BYOB!

Cheap prices, good food, quick service. I had the chicken and shrimp with lobster sauce and it was totally amazing!! The place looks like nothing, but it stacks up among the best thai places I have eaten at. read more

This is our go-to delivery call. It's nothing more than fine, but since cheap Thai can often go so badly wrong, we're happy that everything here is just consistently ok. Yellow curry, my favorite, is always too soupy, but flavor's ok. Wife's favorite, spicy basil noodles, is good. Papaya salad is good too - this dish can often be made with bad or under-ripe fruit, and this is not true here. So, no worries. Good for take out or delivery, but nothing to travel for. read more

We've always had good experiences at Yummy Thai. We live right down the street and have ordered delivery as well as dined in. Food is inexpensive, menu is large and entree portions are decently sized. We've never had a bad visit (or delivery) yet! This definitely beats Thai Bowl (a few blocks east on Taylor). read more

I used to like this place, I work in the are so it was always a go to place, but not anymore, unfortunatley we ordered from them last week and it took 1 1/2 hours to deliver, needless to say I had to eat something else for lunch. So I took my leftovers home and even my husband who will eat ANYTHING would not eat it!!! WASTE OF MONEY! So we tried to order again, on a wednesday, thinking that they were just too busy on the friday that we ordered before, well it was WORSE, over two hours to deliver!! REALLY? Needless to say we told them that we did not want the food, we already ate lunch, again, elsewhere!! We are taking our business to thai bowl from now on!!!!! read more

Great takeout - yummy Tom Kar soup and Pad Thai!

They don't call it yummy thai for no reason. Expected delivery was an hour, however the food arrived within 45 minutes. My favorite thing? Tofu pad thai, authentic enough for me. Sure, their English isn't wonderful but it works. I can still get my yummy thai. I usually order tofu pad thai and edamame. One of my favorite Thai places of all time. read more

I decided to try this thai place for delivery and ordered broccoli with beef. It was very average, a small sized portion, and $11. The delivery person was nice, so I'll give them that, but otherwise I wasn't impressed. read more

Great Thai food and well flavored! Very reasonable price.

Our favorite Thai place in the city! Great food, incredibly reasonable, and fast--we're here or order take-out almost once a week! Never had a bad dish or experience. I'd recommend the pad thai. Also, if ordering take-out, ask for the free egg rolls (minimum purchase of $10 I believe). Nice dine-in ambiance, too, in a fun neighborhood. read more

I have been eating here for use. The food is fast, affordable, and it tastes good. Its conveniently located for anyone who works in the medical district. They also deliver. I have tried most of the thai restaurants along this stretch of Taylor street, and in my opinion, yummy thai is the best. I love the pad thai, crab rangoon, pad woon sen, and spicy crazy noodle. Yummy read more
