" I’ve traveled to Thailand several times, and I can honestly say Yai captures the authentic Thai dining experience the best! The first bite of their jungle curry took me back to the streets of Bangkok. The staff are incredibly welcoming, and the service is fast. However, I’ll clarify that while the first half of my experience was top-notch, my check took longer than expected when it was bustling, so they might need more staff during peak hours. Still, the food makes up for it! Definitely recommend the barbeque pork as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yai Restaurant offers a truly authentic taste of Thailand. The friendly staff welcomed me immediately. I ordered the crispy catfish which was expertly fried and served with a delicious dipping sauce. My friends went for the pad Thai and the green curry, both of which I sampled and thoroughly enjoyed. I also appreciated the reasonable prices and that they give generous portions. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash, so bring some with you! Overall, I can't wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lately, I've been visiting Yai, and I can confidently say they serve top-notch Thai cuisine. The flavors are so vibrant, and the ingredients seem really fresh. I particularly enjoyed the pad see ew; it was mouthwatering. The service is generally prompt, but there are moments of a slower pace during lunch rushes. Still, the authenticity of the food and the generous portion sizes always win me over. Just remember, it's a cash-only establishment. Don't forget to tip well—these folks work hard! " (*Curated Review*)

" After searching for the best Thai food around, Yai has quickly become my favorite spot! Although I tried several dishes, their chicken salad absolutely stood out. The combination of flavors and freshness was heavenly. This is a no-frills restaurant, but it's clean and the staff members are very hospitable, making for a lovely experience. Just remember to go prepared with cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently visited Yai and was blown away by their flavorful dishes! The pad see ew was expertly cooked and didn’t skimp on the portions. You can tell they’re serious about serving authentic Thai food. The ambiance was quite relaxed, perfect for a casual dinner. My only complaint is the restroom cleanliness; it could use a bit of attention. Overall, I highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)
