“Call the head to see if we can get their patio seating on the second floor, they said they probably were full but I could swing by anyways and try to work us in”
Ordered delivery from this place last night. Literally a nightmare.
I hate to give a negative revew, because I support small businesses in general, but my experience here was very underwhelming.
I ordered red curry via an app. The red vegetable came with the paper label on it.

“I love this place.”
I love this place! Eating on the outdoor patio feels like you are dining in a tree house. It is so fun. The coconut soup is delicious. The curry is great and not too spicy. Highly recommend!

“Very rarely do you have come across a restaurant these days that has a great atmosphere, great service and great food.”
Very rarely do you have come across a restaurant these days that has a great atmosphere, great service and great food. Yasotorn is a hidden gem that has all 3! Easily one of my new favorite restaurants. Their rooftop patio was calm, quiet and relaxing. A few other diners but not loud or overwhelming on Friday night. It was literally tucked away with trees around. The restaurant seems to be in an old house. Our server was prompt, kind and aware of allergies. The food tasted fresh, homemade and plenty of vegetables. Large portions! I also found the pricing to be so fair. We had fresh summer rolls with amazing peanut sauce. Pad Thai, Pad Woon Sen and fried rice. It was absolutely delicious! I have a gluten allergy and my friend is vegetarian, they had plenty of options for both of us. It is so hard to find restaurant food that tastes fresh I swear. This was like someone’s mom just bought the ingredients today and made it for us. I would highly recommend and can’t wait to come back.

“The coconut shrimp was really good, fried with coconut flakes on the outside – I liked it.”
The coconut shrimp was really good, fried with coconut flakes on the outside – I liked it. For the main course, we ordered the green curry chicken with extra rice on the side. It was really well-prepared, and I truly enjoyed it. Finally, the dessert was amazing. It was like a Turkish rice pudding, but with mango and coconut milk. I loved the taste. I would definitely come back just for this dessert and dish. We sat on the terrace, and it was very spacious and comfortable.

“If you are a crab rangoon lover or on a search for the best crab rangoon, u MUST try here.”
If you are a crab rangoon lover or on a search for the best crab rangoon, u MUST try here. I can assure you it will be at your top of the list. Having said this, their food is really good. Today, we got crab rangoon, fried calamari, panang curry, pad see eiw and pad kee mao. You can tell noodles were cooked at very hot temperature, vegetables were just crunch enough, not mushy. Well seasoned and overall cooked very nice. Curry was sweet yet not flavorful, very nice portion as well. But I almost gave 4 stars due to price... I mean, just from a few months ago I was here, price on each dish increased by 4 dollars. That is 30% increase approximately, and that is tough to swallow. I mean, look at price on dessert, that is outrageous. Who is paying 11.95 for mango sticky rice? 6.95 for ice cream? Ridiculous. I asked for some hot sauce, got what looks like sambal sauce, and was charged .50 cents. Overall, Im still giving 5 stars purely on food, which is one and most important aspect of my judgment on restaurant. I'm just sad about new pricing.

“Absolutely adorable Thai place!”
Absolutely adorable Thai place!! We sat upstairs on the rooftop patio...highly recommend 👌 Started the meal with a delicious order of potstickers. The lime chicken and Mongolian entrées were out of this world!! (I loved the lime chicken much so I got a small container of the lime sauce to go 😉) Peach smoothie with boba was delicious too! 🍑🧋
