Customer Reviews
Very good thai food. Loved the PadKeeMao and the TomKha. The brisket in the yellow curry was amazing. The medium spicy was not very spicy. I'm curious to see if their spicy is actually Thai spicy. The portions are a bit small though. We got 3 "entrees" and didn't have any left overs. The prices are not bad, but a bit expensive when the portion sized is taken into account. The cocktails were great. The one thing we didn't enjoy was how cold it was inside. We both had to keep our jackets on. I've lived in very cold climates, I'm not that sensitive, but it was cold inside.
Visited Yui about 2y back - it was a modest place with solid, authentic Thai food. Delighted to be back and the new venue looks great! Modern industrial vibes with boho lamps… and the food - still as amazing as ever. And with an expanded menu! The tapioca balls are a solid - coloured with what might be bluepea flower, with a chewy sago / tapioca outside and a filling of sweet preserved radish and nuts. Great blend of textures! The chicken wings are amazing - I love korean fried chicken tho these are seriously better! Crunchy yet juicy wings. And I appreciated the use of fresh - not frozen - chicken. The stir fried rice noodles were amazing. The smell of the wok / wok hei and herbs are in every single bite. The rice noodles are fresh - not the dried rehydrated ones - and chewy. Yums. W
I recently tried Thai food at YUI and I was extremely impressed. I ordered the Wagyu basil stir-fry, Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao, and fried pork ribs with garlic. Every dish was absolutely amazing. The Wagyu basil stir-fry was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was tender and paired beautifully with authentic Thai basil and spices. The Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao tasted incredibly authentic and reminded me of traditional Thai flavors that are very hard to find outside Thailand. The fried garlic pork ribs were crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, I have never had Thai food this delicious before. The flavors felt very authentic and rare to find. If you are looking for real Thai cuisine, I highly recommend YUI.
so cool to see YUI transition from their original location off killingsworth…they were fabulous thai innovative food then… with their new location on belmont, they’ve taken the food to a whole new level…true flavors, punchy, clean thai flavors come thru, melded and integrated and poignant. some asian places recently, and you’ve seen it in my reviews, are trying to hard. you can see it in their menu construction and mix (fusion), and in the too fad’ish use of ingredients. YUI keeps its identify with their celebration of flavors. the tapioca dumplings are chewy; the filling come thru with substance but does not dominate the light fun texture of the tapioca. the chicken wings are messy with fish sauce and salty/sweet, juicy meaty, crunchy. you decide now that since i have my fingers in
Was super excited to come here given all of the fantastic reviews. Unfortunately I think it’s still a little early in their journey to give it a try. I think they need some time to mature. I’ll start with the atmosphere which I do think is great. It’s charming and pleasant inside with a warm atmosphere and great amount of light. It’s in a fun area and a good place for small-mid size groups. The service unfortunately was quite disappointing. We came in on a Sunday around lunch, and there was only one person to service the entire room. I get they’re doing what they can but it just wasn’t up to par for the prices. Every one of our (4) dishes came out at a different time which left people awkwardly wondering if they should eat or wait for the next dish. Our 2nd order of wings was forgotten a
