Beautiful restaurant and amazing food. Each dish was very delicious. Our favorites were the beef salad and the pumpkin slices. Surprisingly the pumpkin was the star. Very crispy and the sauce that comes with it is a nice tough. Great appetizer you should get. Beef salad hits all the notes a Thai dish should hit. Would recommend this as well. Vibes were great here. Great music and they have a fully stacked bar. Perfect for a weekend night

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, and I finally got the chance to check it out! I started with the Tom Yum cocktail, made with rum, apple juice, lime, chili, and lemongrass. It was refreshing, flavorful, and delicious. For the entrées, we ordered the Avocado Green Curry and the Pad Kee Mao. We asked for spicy, and they delivered! The Pad Kee Mao was packed with flavor, and the portion was decent. It was my first time having avocado in Thai curry, and it worked really well. The curry was rich and flavorful, and the chunks of avocado were tasty. Overall, a fantastic meal, and I will definitely be back!

The food was AMAZING! The riceberry rice is such a unique experience. Pad sew is 1000/10, Thai Thea good but very sweet. Pad Thai 6/10, sticky rice is perfect.

Overall decent Thai food at Yimm. Both their flat noodle to pad kee mao/drunken noodle and the side thin noodle were well cooked to give the al dente chewy texture. Another highlight was the seasoning of the pad kee mao - tasteful and right-on-spot spicy. That being said, there's plenty of room left to be desired. Both the chicken and beef we ordered were well overcooked, dry, rubbery, and plain. While the Tom Yum soup was spicy and sour, it lacked the authentic flavor from lemongrass and other herbs. The acidity was also too pungent to be enjoyable. Also wish their staff can be more friendly than the minimum service.

Not bad, really appreciated how it was not as oily like many other Thai restaurants. Would say the curries are spicier than the usual Thai places here, which I liked. However, the portions (especially the soups) are on the smaller side for the price. Also I saw people recommended Lord’s noodles but it was honestly kind of average, the pork belly was dry and flavorless. But the avocado green curry is really good, spicy and creamy.
