Hands down the best thai food in Chicago. The only restaurant with crispy Lard Nar noodles.

I am so pleased I finally found and made it to Yes Thai, as they are not only BYOB, they have DUCK! I was so excited. You can add duck to just about any dish. I added it to Pad Thai, and it was delicious, earthy and gamy, and paired beautifully with the noodles, sauce and vegetables. We also shared a few appetizers to start; they too are delicious. The shrimp rolls are like crispy little cones, and the pot stickers are deliciously ethereal. The inside is an elegant, clean, well-lighted space, perfect for a relaxing BYOB dinner. Bring a nice bottle, I recommend white Burgundy. Service is very friendly. We will definitely be back

Say yes to Yes Thai! While this restaurant has a big takeout business, Do yourself a favor and stop in to dine in. It has a modern look, and the plating of the food is quite exceptional and looks as good as it tastes .All the Thai classics and more! #thai #chicago. Food comes out quick and the service is great. There are only a couple of tables so it will never be loud.

Yes Thai is a staple in Chicago's Lincoln Square! Beautiful presentation of appetizers and main courses! Everything is very fresh and solid portions. - Pad see ew had nice chewy noodles with big shrimp - Lag nard was deliciously deep fried noodles with ground pork. - Kids loved the apps - pot stickers, chive dumplings, & crab rangoons.

Recently came to Yes Thai and sat inside, this was especially exciting as their indoor dining has been closed for the last year or two. The restaurant was very clean and the music was nice piano music. Our waitress was very nice and we had great service. Additionally, the food was amazing! We got the pad Thai, the garlic chicken, pot stickers and chive dumplings. The chive dumplings were not anything I've ever had before and I really liked them!
