Favorite thai carryout place in the city. Great prices and they even have orange chicken (which is very good). Also, not usually a curry person but the red curry and panang curry are amazing. read more

FREEZING INSIDE AND NOT VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY. We walked into the establishment and nearly all the tables were dirty with dishes and leftover food. I just figured they must have been busy or understaffed that day. So, the waiter wiped down a table for us and we sat down. As we were looking through the menu we all realized how cold it was in here. We moved tables, now seated the furthest away from the door as possible. It was still freezing! My boyfriend looked at the thermometer in the restaurant and it read 58 degrees! This was in January. We immediately told the server how cold it was in there and asked for 3 hot teas. They never brought the hot teas, so we asked again after 10 minutes or so, still no hot tea. Also, no attempt to turn up the heat. Other customers agreed apparently, because they were eating with their winter coats and hats still on. Anyway, a man comes over to take our order. I order the only vegetarian entree on the menu, and had him confirm that the dish had no oyster/fish sauce in it. The man said it did! Well, then my sir that in fact is NOT vegetarian! What if a person with shell fish allergies ordered the vegetarian dish thinking it was shell fish free?! I asked if he could make the dish but without the oyster sauce, and they said no that they did not know how to omit the oyster/fish sauce- what kind of chef is back there? Then the straw that broke the camel's back, the table next to us started complaining about how bad her stomach hurt the last time she ate there, and she just figured it was from eating the fish so she was going to try a safer dish like their soup! We told the server never mind and went to Cous Cous down the street. read more

my regular place for thai after moving to the tri-taylor area. service is fast and the make a great pad woon sen. i'd also recommend the mango n sticky rice dessert if it's in season...really simply prepared but yummy. read more

Tasty food with good portion size, great service, and good seating area. Food came out quickly and everything we ordered was delicious. We went on a Sunday afternoon so parking was not an issue. Definitely recommend! read more

If it weren't for my insatiable crush on Golden Thai just down the street, Yummy Thai would easily be my go-to local thai pick-up spot. They have a pretty extensive menu of thai noodles (pad thai and woon sen ok, but see-ewe and hot pot delicious) and other more Chinese-restaurant friendly dishes like garlic chix, mongolian beef, orange chix. etc. When I want curry ( red and green both excellent) or fried rice, especially the Yummy Fried Rice, I generally go to Yummy Thai over the other local options. They are also BYOB and friendly to large groups, but you may find it very busy and boiling over with police officers slopping down dinner before a long shift. The extensive menu of quality choices make Yummy a great choice for those not so sure they like Thai but are comfy inside most Chinese joints. The staff is excellent and always accommodating even though the crowds are large. The delivery is also a good choice as they offer a free appetizer with purchase over $10. read more

Cute and relaxing atmosphere. The food is good and the prices are reasonable. I like to get carry out, which they always do well in I've never had issues with. read more

This is one of our Friday lunch spot so I had the spicy crazy noodles w/ tofu this time. It was pretty good, but I would have to say that the Spicy crazy noodles with ground chicken was better. My friend had the penang curry (I had a bite and it was delicious). One of my other friends tried the lam sod? (ground chicken salad) and it was my favorite dish of the day. It had a minty lime taste and tasted fresh and hit the spot. Will definitey come back. The price is about $10 pp including tip. read more

I recently revisited Yummy Thai, after no being so impressed the first time I went. Still, I see the rave reviews on yelp and think I must be missing something, so I tried again. The food is OK - pretty good. My chicken rama, though, came with three pieces of broccoli, and that is one of the main ingredients listed in the dish. I asked the waitress if I could have more broccoli, but she wasn't willing to bring me it. The service was really, really bad. I had to get up to ask for a napkin, water, and eventually our check. The waitress never checked on us. It was also really cold in there. I'm going to stick with Golden Thai in University Village. The food is better, the broccoli is plentiful, but the service is also sub-par. Two out of three, though. read more

Been there a lot of times when i was in uic. the food was not so good, I gave it three stars coz I was there with my friends, good memory.

I have been going there for almost 10 years and although the interior had improved, unfortunately the food hasn't. After tonight's take out experience I think I need to find a new thai spot. And this was my go to spot and that makes me sad. I ordered pad woon sen with shrimp and specifically said shrimp about 3 times so that it was clear that I wanted shrimp and the meal had 1 piece of shrimp! REALLY?!?! I also ordered pad thai. Probably the worst pad thai I have ever had. Maybe they have a new chef, but how do you screw up pad thai? !?! Then ordered cucumber salad with no onion and got a handful of onion. The lady who took my order told the kitchen about 3 times no onions but clearly they didn't pay attention. So disappointed. read more

Worst thai place on Taylor. The food is okay but nothing special. The service is simply atrocious. Twice we've tried to go there for lunch, and twice they've taken an hour to bring our food. I see no reason to ever go back. read more

Ordered the panang curry and tofu pad thai to go and both were delicious. There are quite a few thai places in the area but I would recommend this one for sure. read more

Slow and rude service plus congealed rice noodles with watered down hot sauce make for a sad experience. My order of tofu phad thai was more a mash of slop rather than anything resembling Thai. Sadly Yummy Thai does not live up to its name. read more

Four stars for flexible and good service and a couple great menu items. My residency comes here every week for years and they are very accommodating to multiple checks and the food is pretty good too. I have tried a lot of items and my favorite is the combo fried rice(huge portion and very tasty). Second runner up is the yummi fried rice(hot dogs and pinneapple-don't laugh it's delicious). Pad Thai is my third choice, good but nothing special. read more

fantastic every time I go, cheap, huge portions. perfect for a student on a budget lol :) though I wouldn't recommend their Thai iced drinks, a bit too sweet for my taste. but their succulent shrimp pad Thai moreeee than makes up for it. read more

I forgot it was Golden Thai I liked, not this place. I ordered the Pad Woon-Sen, amazing at Golden Thai. This one was made with a horrible frozen vegetable mix that I couldn't get over. The flavor of everything else was very underwhelming. The spinach pot stickers were two stars as was the Thai iced tea. Do yourself a favor, skip this place. The prices would be reasonable if the food were any good. read more

After eating here, I felt inclined to write a review because it was the most terrible thai restaurant i've ever been to. As a student of UIC, I've tried every restaurant on Taylor Street, minus a few. The first time I tried Yummy Thai will definitely be my last time. My friend ordered the classic pad thai, but she is vegetarian so she asked for pad thai without meat. The server gave her pad thai with no meat and no vegetables even though she specifically asked for only vegetables. The taste was below average. We ordered the vegetarian spring rolls, and there was nothing in there besides cold cabbage and a few pieces of carrot. Worst spring rolls ever. I ordered orange chicken, and it was extremely oily. I couldn't eat more than a few bites of it. I'm a huge fan of orange chicken, and I've tried it at many places. This was by far the worst. Avoid going here at all costs! Only go if someone you trust has tried a particular dish and recommends it. read more

Amazing Thai food, some of my favorite pad thai in the city. I've been going here for 5 years and never been disappointed with the quality of their food read more

Horrible service! Waited over 30 minutes for carry out but people who came in after is already eating their food. When I questioned the service, I was totally if ignored. Refund me please! read more

Food was real good and came quickly. Staff was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed . Location was very neat and clean, defiantly will be back again soon . Highly recommended location for great food . read more

I have never written a review about a restaurant. But for this restaurant I am forced to write and let my fellow restaurant goers know how horrible this place is. I placed an order for pick-up at the restaurant specifically asking for Panang curry vegetarian and fried rice no egg. After arriving home and getting ready to eat with my two very hungry kids I noticed they added chicken to my curry and egg to my rice. I called and spoke with PEE PEE and she said she cant do anything about it. And on top blaming it on me that I placed the order wrong. No apologizes AT ALL. she said she was going to have her manager TONY call me next day but obviously that hasn't happened. The food was so average and they lack customer service. I WOULD NEVER EAT HERE AND RECOMMEND YOU DO THE SAME. read more

Two hours for delivery, called resturant they said delivery left 30 minutes ago with 6 other delivers!!!!!!!!!! and was told they'd call you back no reply 20 minutes later. Food was warm @ best, so spicy I couldn't eat it! read more

Ordered my food through grubhub and only received one out of my two entrees. I called the restaurant to ask them to send me the rest of my order. The staff was incompetent and rude, insisting that they would never make a mistake and I was surely wrong. After being argued with and dealing with staff who don't display any type of customer service, I was told to contact grubhub and was hung up on. Never will I give this business my money for how poorly I was treated as a customer. read more

A cozy interior for sit down with good pad see ew and veggie options. The service is quick for takeout, and the prices are reasonable. The menu is standard for most Thai places. Recommend the shrimp with broccoli or tom yum soup. read more

Yummy Thai has got it going on. I do takeout after work about once a month, and the quality is consistent. My husband and I get a variety of dishes to share--crab rangoon, chicken satay, tofu and those little appetizer wraps with veggies. Anything chicken on the menu is great. The service is good and the place is always clean. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to satisfy that craving for Asian cuisine. read more

I've been here about 6-7 times, and I used to work at an office that ordered from here frequently. The food is always delicious, and I never order the same thing twice. It has a cute dining area, but sometimes if you're seated in the front the waiter might not check on you as often because it's a little secluded from the rest of the restaurant. This probably won't be a problem, but I drink a lot of water so I had some issues waiting for a refill. Overall, I would recommend this place for some tasty Thai food. read more

I had high hopes for this place until today. A bunch of my gal pals went after work and had a variety of dishes. We first started with spring rolls and some tom yum kar soup. The springs rolls were different but not in a good way. I didn't really enjoy the sweet sauce or the cream cheese. Another disappointment was the soup. I really enjoy the tom yum kar soup but it was so sour this time. More complaints would be the whip cream in the thai ice tea. Who puts whip cream in thai ice tea??? Additional disasters included the basil fried rice. Whoever cooked this was very generous with the soy sauce as it was too salty.....*sigh* I guess the best part about the meal was the beef lard nar and the spicy noodles. Overall I would not recommend or venture back as there are much better thai places in the city. This place seemed very catered to the "american" taste buds. Oh service was terrible. I guess that's what we get with a party of six. THey know they're getting their 18% tip so they don't give a rat's a$$. read more

I strongly suggest not to order "delivery" from Yummy Thai!! I have never, ever had such horrible customer service! Yummy Thai delivered the wrong order to us. When we called to let them know, the manager argued with us that we must have ordered from a different Thai restaurant because he couldn't find our order ticket. After leaving us on hold for 10 minutes, he came back and asked to call us back. When he didn't call back, we called him. Again, he placed us on hold and said that if he doesn't find the order ticket, there is nothing that he can do. We provided him our Seamless Grub Hub order number at which point, he began to argue that Seamless is in charge of our order and that we probably didn't order properly. He told us to contact Seamless. At this point, we decided to walk to Yummy Thai and show the manager our receipt, which clearly showed the correct order. The manager continued to argue and said that the receipt doesn't show that Seamless charged us $2 for shrimp and therefore, there was nothing that he could do. We explained to him that we had ordered shrimp as shown on the receipt and that if Seamless didn't charge us the right amount that Yummy Thai should have at least contacted us to let us know. He continued to argue with us. It was only after we reminded him of online reviews did he agree to give us the correct order but he insisted that we pay $2 extra for shrimp. Unbelievable!! I will never frequent this establishment again. read more

We have been ordering from Yummy Thai for the last three years now, and while the food is good, I can't understand how this business can be run so poorly. Everytime we call for delivery they have to ask for our address and phone number, which under normal circumstances is easy enough, but when you are dealing with someone that doesn't speak very good english it becomes a task. This could be fixed if they purchased a computer and some basic software that stores customer information by phone number. Next, their delivery time is almost always off. They say 45 minutes, however our food almost always comes in an hour to hour and a half which is unacceptable. Finally, the drivers and staff at Yummy Thai seem to not communicate well. The driver will come to our door asking for cash when we have already paid by credit card and vice versa. Overall a good place, but management needs to really get with it. read more
