| - I'm not a huge Thai connoisseur, however I can say anyone considering trying Thai for the first time or someone who knows their Thai-stuff would find Yupha's fantastic.
Once you walk inside, you already feel welcome; not only by the friendly staff, but also by the comfortable atmosphere and fun, brightly colored walls.
Both my husband and I enjoy spicy food, however we were unsure just how hot, ordering "spicy" really was. So the server was kind enough to suggest we just order medium and she brought over the lovely trio of amazing sauces/spices so we could adjust our meals accordingly.
We started with the Siam Lettuce Wraps which consisted of minced chicken sautéed with lemon grass, galanga & crushed peanuts in brown sauce and served with two sauces on the side. Holy WOW, best lettuce wrap in the world. Period. Forgot the other places you have ordered this quintessential appetizer. This is the top of the mountain as far as I am concerned. Definitely worth a taste.
Based on the huge amount of Yelp reviews suggesting the Drunken noodles, we both decided to give them a try. I ordered mine with shrimp and the hubs ordered his with beef.
Drunken noodles are sautéed flat noodles with cabbage, tomato, bell pepper, onion, egg, Thai basil & chili pepper.
The Thai basil, spices and sauce gives this dish a flavor explosion and creates that palate friendly pyramid of sweet/spicy/fresh/tang that makes you say, "did that really just happen?!"
Ok, maybe I am being a tad bit over the top, but I am so thrilled to have found a fantastic Thai place with amazing food, comfortable atmosphere and great service. I am already planning my return visit!
