Best WLM Reviews

Don't let the entrance fool you. This place served really great Thai foods. I went there and had shrimp tom yum along with shrimp fried rice with curry. The tom yum was delicious. The balance between the heat and sour was on point. The fried rice was creamy. The fried rice was slightly bland, but it came with salty pepper dip of some sort, so dipping the shrimp there occasionally made it perfect.
Do beware that the restroom was a bit dirty, and they only accepted cash.
The people working here are sooo welcoming and kind. Feels like you’re apart of the family. It was very busy when I went in. And the food came out quick. I ordered the fish soup. Oh my goodness, it is so fresh and delightful!!!
We had a FEAST at Yai! I’m surprised it doesn’t have good amount of reviews. Amazing flavors, vegeterian curry and delicious duck curry! I had the Nam Tok Beef salad and the taste was out of this world! My taste buds were going crazy!!! Try the shrimp soup too!
11/21/22: TLDR: Go down the street to Torung, Pailin Thai, or Chuan Chim for better food at half the price. Details: I ordered the Crispy Catfish. The waiter asked if I wanted rice, and I said yes. The catfish was good but the bill came and turns out they charged $3 for the side of rice. For a hole in the wall type of place, $20.75 for catfish (literally the cheapest fish you can buy) and rice with no vegetables or anything else, just doesn't make sense.
Authentic Thai food in Thai town???????? so happy I was introduced to this hidden gem by a friend
In Thai, ‘Yai’ means grandma & the name is so fitting as the food was so comforting and legit.

????️Ordered:
1. BBQ pork
2. Tom kha gai (hot & sour chicken soup w/ coconut milk)
3. Pad see ew w/ shrimp
Every dish was exploding with flavor & I loved how they all complemented each other. The bbq pork was my favorite which is surprising bc I don’t love pork! The sauce that it was paired with was just so delicious ????????
The Tom kha gai was super creamy and just tangy enough. It’s the perfect dish to have on a cold day ☺️
????Tips:
-bring cash!! This spot is cash ONLY
-there is a small parking lot so if you go on a weekday it’s pretty easy to find parking
????Price:
$56/meal
Best Thai Fried rice in a while! I ordered the a combination chicken & beef to go. Delicious, not dry or bland at all! I used to go to Torung , but the quality of their food has gone down hill. I think I found my new Favorite Thai restaurant. Food portion was great❤️
This is probably my favorite Thai place now. Their Chinese sausage and pork fried rice was so flavorful that we ate the entire plate, and their pad see ew is one of the best in town. The soup was a little salty but still good!
Cash only so don’t forget.
Authentic Thai food in a casual setting. Between my date and I, ordered:
-Green Curry with chicken
-Pad see ew with beef + fried egg
The curry was rich and flavorful, with Thai eggplant and bamboo shoots that were well received. The chicken was cooked well.
Pad see ew was delicious and good portion. Only strange thing is that fried egg is sold separately ($3), even though that’s a necessary component of the dish.
Either way, came out to $32, $38 after tip, and they are cash only. I’d definitely come back!
