Much better than the lunch special we had across the street!
I had the crispy duck salad, it was very delicious and …. Crispy! Then I had the half grilled chicken with fried rice and a side salad.
I think that if you go with the pre-set menu, you don't get as much but you get the classic flavors you are looking for in Thai restaurants. You'll have a great pad Thai, a great curry.
Yum yum is a good restaurant, you can't be bad and have 3 places on a block lol, it fixes that "I want Thai food" but it's not as good as it has been and the staff has the tendency to be a little dismissive. Quick bite.
I came here for dinner one night with co-workers. The Thai food here is pretty small portioned, but pretty good. THey also have Singha $3 and margaritas for $5 special. I think the curry here is pretty good. The place is kind of small, but they have multiple locations next to each other!
Wow, there are a LOT of disappointed Elite reviews in here. Definitely not the best sign when coming into a restaurant. As many others were similarly curious, my boyfriend and I noticed how there were THREE Yum Yum's in the same block, so one night we finally decided to try out the original. I actually had a decent taste experience – ordered the squid pad kee mao and received one with shrimp, but it was still pretty good. My boyfriend ordered the red curry and received one that was not that color at all. He was quite displeased and kept eating parts of my dish. The cocktails were also all right, and we ordered them with the intention of getting a complimentary "appetizer" (this is only two tiny dumplings FYI). Anyway, as others have also mentioned, not really worth venturing here when OBAO is right across the street and way better.
There's so much Thai food to choose from on this block. This place tasted decent. The lychitini was very strong and tasty. The duck skin was crispy and different than the duck we had before. Price was very reasonable and have good prefix deals.
Like most people, you never actually seek this place out, you just happen to get here. Friday night, a sign saying there's $5 drinks with actual tables to sit at. Sold.
As previously mentioned, the drink deals are solid. Got the $5 lime margarita (all day) – frozen lime standard goodness at the right price. Wasn't too hungry, so settled on the Steamed Spinach Dumplings ($5) and the Chicken Satae ($4). The dumplings are okay, regular steamed with some seasoning on top, good with the chili sauce. Satae is served on two skewers with minimal seasoning and much better with the sauces provided.
Plenty of servers here, so the service is solid. Overall, the drink promotions are what you come here for.
2.5 stars, rounded down for theater pandering. Yum Yum is basically the embodiment of 'Theater Crowd Food'. It's very generic Thai that works fairly hard to keep people who don't eat ethnic foods comfortable. If your idea of WILD AND CRAZY CUISINE is getting Pad Thai or (god forbid) a medium spiced red curry, you may love it here. If you're actually more adventurous than that, please wander elsewhere. Obao Thai and Pam Real Thai food are nearby, as are many other great non-Thai places.
The food is mostly 'fine' but with no oomph in the flavors. They're going to get you in and serve you the pre-fixe and get you out. Atmosphere is lacking. Really, there's no reason to choose Yum Yum unless everywhere else is closed.
Not fully sure what to make of this place. We had just arrived back from Boston and it was admittedly late, like 11:30. The place looked quite full so we went in. We asked if we could have a table and were told the kitchen was closing, but if we ordered quick it would be fine.
As in, they put the menu down and 30 seconds later we were asked for our order. All a bit rushed, so just opted for the safe bets of thai green curry and a massaman curry. About 5 mintues later both curries appeared, the quickest I have ever seen, this was before our margaritas arrived. At one point we thought we weren't being allowed to have our drinks. But they did eventually arrive.
The curry was fine as was the drink, but I did not like how rushed we felt. The bill was produced before we had finished eating. If your kitchens closed, just say that, don't try and make a quick buck!
Came here for happy hour drinks on Friday since the weather was nice and it wasn't crowded. They don't have outdoor seating, but the whole front of the restaurant is open so you sort of feel like you're outside. We got the $5 margaritas which look like the ones at Mickey Spillane's but are stronger so it's a better value for your money. I had a Chicken Thai Spicy Salad for what was supposed to be dinner but it wasn't very substantial like I thought it'd be for the price, although it tasted pretty good. Overall, it's a decent place but I think the best thing about it are the drinks; otherwise, I wasn't blown away.
