Experience the true taste of Thailand at Yupha's Thai Kitchen. The flavors are incredible and the quality of the food is unbeatable. Yum, yum, yum! I can't get enough of the delicious Thai food! Come and indulge today!
Took my mom here for lunch- neither of us had ever been and we decided to try it on the spur of the moment- so glad we did! Awesome selection on the menu- everything we had was so so good! Easily some of the best Thai food in the East valley. Everything was fresh and well made- we had green curry, pineapple fried rice and drunken noodles. Everything was perfect- the portions were generous which was very much appreciated especially considering how good the food was, the quality of the ingredients as well as the charming, clean, bright atmosphere the restaurant offers along with top-notch service. We ordered food to go and will definitely be coming back and recommending it to others!
This was my first time here after a great recommendation from a friend. I got the pra ram, with the mild spice level. It was amazing! My husband got the Yupha's fried rice and it was also excellent. Service was very fast and friendly, we had multiple servers checking on us. I have no complaints at all.
They opened right at the stroke of 11. She seated me with my choice of a booth. The establishment was clean and the staff was well
prepared and dressed nicely. She brought out a wonderful vegetable soup and salad with some delightful dressing. The green curry was hot, a little spicy and delicious.
Keep it up! Kudos.
The traditional Thai restaurant you’re looking for! WOW, did this Yellow Curry and their Pad Thai ensure I make a return visit. Some restaurants are really weirded out when I say I don’t want meat in my curry. I prefer tofu or just the veggies and broth. However, this tofu was cooked to perfection. A little sautéed exterior really gives the tofu that bite that most people are missing when used in place of chicken. The spice level I chose was medium and it was exactly that. I could have gone hotter but sometimes you never know what you’re getting yourself into at a new spot. Service was also wonderful and attentive. Always ensuring our drinks were full. We even tried the Mango sticky rice and I’m so glad we did. Of course my leftover curry was even better the next day. Thank you!
Yupha’s Thai is a local favorite Thai food restaurant. This is one of the best Thai places I have been around Chandler. This is a very busy place I had takeout and dine in couple of times.
I tried various dishes from this places they don’t fail to keep up quality or flavors. They cater to various spice levels I really love their Thai spice blend. I love their mango sticky rice.
Overall it’s a great Thai place
I picked up a to-go order on 1/2/2025. The service was excellent and food was prepared quickly. I ordered the yellow curry with chicken, jasmine rice, and with medium spice level. The flavor was very good and the spice was perfect for me. It's not the best Thai food I've had but it was very good and I will order again in the future.
Good quality though crowded (for a reason- they are good). Took a while to get a table without reservation even for just 2 people. But good quality, tasty food and good enough service.
Food is amazing and the service is fast and the host annd servers always so nice! The Thai fried rice and Pad Thai are our favorites.
New Thai food place for me. Bye bye to old places. Love the food and the atmosphere

Had my birthday dinner here and everything was delicious! Our whole group was able to find dishes they were excited about; even the pickiest of us, the friend with a peanut allergy, and our resident vegetarian. Solid pricing, large dinner portion sizes, and attentive staff. It's been a few weeks and I'm still thinking about my Pad Gra Prow.
This joint is great to grab a quick bite or drag it out and chill. Get the drunken noodles and a Thai iced tea!
The food is awesome as always. Especially vegetarian options are great.
BEST THAI FOOD EVER BRO I SWEAR YALL GYAT TO BELIVE ME THIS FOOD IS LIKE THE HOLY GRAIL AND ALMOST, ALMOST AND MOST STUFF CAN BE MADE GLUTEN FREE
Love the place anytime, friendly staff and waiters. Busy and crowded, great ambiance. If you like noodles try drunken noodles with fried tofu! Delightful dish!
Delicious! I had the Kao Soi and it is my new favorite Thai dish ever. My husband and I shared the Siam wraps as an appetizer and he had the seafood chef special. Everything was so good, the spice level was spot on, and the service was wonderful. This might be a weird thing to key in on with the atmosphere, but the acoustics are great. We didn't have to yell over blaring music and we could hear each other really well even with all of the tables in the restaurant full. We can't wait to try more of their menu, every dish on every table around us looked amazing!
Some times you find a place that does everything rite.
Yupha's is one of those places. The Food is really good, the server made recommendations that were perfect.
The food is super delicious !
I go there regularly , panang chicken is my favorite,
Great food consistency,
Just watch out for the "spicy" level you ask for.
I picked up a to-go order on 1/2/2025. The service was excellent and food was prepared quickly. I ordered the yellow curry with chicken, jasmine rice, and with medium spice level. The flavor was very good and the spice was perfect for me. It's not the best Thai food I've had but it was very good and I will order again in the future.
This is currently my favorite Thai restaurant in the city. The staff is also very friendly.
This has been my go to spot for Thai food for 7+ years. Easily my favorite Thai restaurant in Arizona
The waiter is so mean
After mentioning to the waitress that we are gluten-free and she told us what meals to get to be gluten-free, she brought us a soup that was a part of the meal without telling us there’s gluten in it. Another waitress came, and when we asked for something gluten free she said oh don’t eat the soup, it has gluten in it. When I told the manager she acted like nothing has happened. Didn’t even apologize. The food wasn’t even that great, everything was too sweet!
The yellow curry is the best anywhere.
not bad. the pieces of meat were a bit chewy and the noodles were a little too slimy for liking
Food was so amazing and flavorful! Dessert was delicious as well, we got the sticky rice and the coconut ice cream. My only complaint was we asked for medium spice on our dishes (curry and pad see ew) and I think the server thought we couldn’t handle it, because it wasn’t very spicy at all. Regardless I will be back soon! :)
The food is excellent and the service was great! Consistency in the food and service every time! Feels like I'm eating at a friend's house
Our family’s favorite restaurant hands down! Staff and food are stellar. Never gave had anything but a lovely evening there, eating delicious food. Adore. Highly recommend
Quality of the Yellow Curry has gone down severely. Soupy and half cooked vegetables.
Really wonderful service here! And great food!
Food was excellent, best Thai food we've had in awhile. Only negative comment is the entre arrived at the table 30 seconds after the appetizers. Not able to enjoy both at the same time so the entre was cold by the time we were able to get to it.
I love this place. The best Thai food is in this little gem. What I love most is that the owner is always there and the quality is very consistent. My biggest complaint about restaurants is not being sure what you'll get from one visit to the next. No worries about that here. You must order the Golden Curry Puffs appetizer! Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, & Yupha's Fried Rice are favorites but my latest love is the Yellow Curry. Never thought I'd be a curry fan. The Green Curry is good too but be careful about the spice level you order! They'll make your dish with no spice, if that's what you want. Mild is a safe bet. Medium is hot enough for everyone I know that likes it spicy. I wouldn't order it "very hot" unless you can munch on dried 🌶️ like it's popcorn. Kitchen closes fairly early so don't wait too long to place pick up orders. I think this place is a good date option too. It has a nice atmosphere and you can hear yourselves talk.
My recent order of three dishes on 9/17 through door dash,
Only one of them, Yellow Curry is good.
The other two was so bad, I would never recommend this place for delievery through DoorDash.
It's like someone ate 2/3 of it,
only 1/3 full in the small container when I got it.
I don't know if the "chef" was asleep while making the dish,
or it's DoorDash's delievery problem.
Just share my experience from DoorDash+Yupha.
The lunch specials are delicious and reasonably priced. The service is excellent with a greeting upon arrival and acknowledgement on the way out. My family and I are now regulars every week.
The food is the star of this restaurant. Had the red curry, but usually get their Pad Thai. Both are delicious, well prepared and beautifully laid out.
Best Thai food and delicious mango sticky rice
It says they close at 3 pm on Google and on their door, but they shut the kitchen down at 2:40 for lunch.
This was my first time here after a great recommendation from a friend. I got the pra ram, with the mild spice level. It was amazing! My husband got the Yupha's fried rice and it was also excellent. Service was very fast and friendly, we had multiple servers checking on us. I have no complaints at all.
Me and a group of guys go out for dinner at Yupha's almost every Friday night. I have yet to have a bad experience at this excellent Thai food restaurant. Ask for May to be your server. She's friendly, efficient, and she'll remember your name the next time you come in. They do close at 9:00 on Friday and Saturday night, and I mean tables stripped and wiped down, and chairs off the floor by 9:15.
We absolutely love the food at Yupha's and the staff are very friendly. We have not had a bad meal here.
However the restaurant is small and tightly packed. Seating is close enough that it is impossible to not hear every word of your table neighbors, it is distracting. Don't go here for an intimate, romantic dinner. Do absolutely go here for fabulous Thai food!
Went here with a friend for the first time on Thursday. The food was sublime! Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. Will absolutely go here again!
Went last night. Absolutely wonderful. Food and service was fantastic. Only thing that surprised me was getting a bill with a 20% tip already added for my family of 6 (2 adults, 4 kids). The tip was already added and then they still had a line asking for a tip. I wish places wouldn't do that. It feels disingenuous and makes me feel dumb living no tip, because after all one was already added. Other than that though everything was amazing.
Service was good but food not so much. Our green curry Eggplant wasn’t completely cooked. We ordered mild spicy but it was too spicy to be called mild.
Plus there was a strong odor in the restaurant.
I make special trips from Tucson to have their curry! Absolutely the best in Arizona!
Great Thai food. I had the Massaman curry. Great portion size. Their coconut ice cream was dreamy. The service was friendly and receptive. The prices were reasonable. I would recommend this place if you would like some great Thai food.
Great place for Thai in the Valley! So fast for lunch
We went with the waitress' recommendation of seafood fried rice, beef drunken noodle, and roasted duck, and they are delicious, especially the roasted duck! We'll be back for sure!!

Without a doubt the best Thai food in the area. The staff is amazing. It can be a wait on their busy nights but it's well worth it. I order to go almost weekly. Prices are incredible and oh my gosh, the flavors!!!!
We liked the food here, and I could have given 4-5 star review but the reason this is a 3 star review is because we felt that the way we were punitively charged for a whole extra drink when we tried to share the drink using an empty glass - was disappointing, created awkwardness and we felt a sense of hostility. We noticed the lady in charge - perhaps owner or manager aggressively questioned us for sharing a drink between my husband and me, and was micromanaging , rather than making sure the patrons were having a pleasant experience. However the rest of the staff was extremely sweet, friendly & courteous.
Always a true pleasure dining here, top notch staff and the food is the best Thai I have ever had. Higley recommend. Best of the Best.
The food was good. Service went well. I will be back there.
Amazing place
Had yellow curry, a little runny, I like mine thick, but tasty. The Pad Thai was very good. Nice wall painting. They could rearrange the tables for coziness.
Sensational food and super fast service! Lots of servers, kid friendly place, even the kids' menu fried rice was delicious! The Khao Soi was excellent! Really impressed with this place, definitely glad we stopped in!
This is the best Thai food I have found in Phoenix. My only complaint is that they stopped having Prik Nam Pla available. Maybe they will bring it back?
Tasty food - Highly recommended! Loved their vegetarian sampler with 4 sauces and sticky mango rice dessert (Though the only eggless option). Incredible speed of service and staff kept constantly checking on you. However, by 9 PM, service got pushy as they need to close which is understandable.
That was amazing. Great no nonsense efficient service. Backed up with amazing yellow curry! Every mouthful made me think that someone in the kitchen truly thought about the best ingredients and freshness. Highly recommend.
The green curry tastes straight out from Thailand. The service was great, food was fantastic. Will definitely go again.
Staff was nice and quick to do everything. Food was terrific and on spot. Made date night awesome!
Everything that I have tried has been amazing! 5 stars all the way for anything on their menu!
They opened right at the stroke of 11. She seated me with my choice of a booth. The establishment was clean and the staff was well
prepared and dressed nicely. She brought out a wonderful vegetable soup and salad with some delightful dressing. The green curry was hot, a little spicy and delicious.
Keep it up! Kudos.
We saw Yupha's featured on our local PBS station. We were in the area and gave it a try. Good Thai food is hard to find, but Yupha's is it. Every dish my wife and I had was full of flavor. We will make the trip to Tempe more often.
Yupha's Thai Kitchen
The food here is amazing and the service is fantastic!
Food we ordered during our last visit.
Sampler:
Thai rolls (2), golden curry puff (2), Satay (2), and Kew Krob (6).
Roasted Duck
Roasted duck over steamed mixed veggies, served with its own sauce.
Special - Giant Shrimp
Giant Shrimp with asparagus over rice.
Yuphas Thai Kitchen in Tempe is at the top of our list for Thai food! We started with the Sampler; the Satay was perfect as the chicken was moist and very tender.
My wife could not decide which item she liked best. The Puffs were light but crispy, and the Thai Rolls tasted great! Not forgetting the dipping sauces, they really added to the flavor, not overpowering the flavor of the sampler items.
The Roasted Duck was juicy and flavorful and didn't have that strong, gamey taste you sometimes get with duck. She would order it again, but next time with mild spice. You get 1/2 a duck! There is plenty of food, no skimping here. The Giant Shrimp really stood up to its name. The large shrimp were fresh, tender, and great tasting with medium spice. Combined with asparagus, vegetables, and rice, it really filled me up, again, no skimping on the servings.
The fare is always fresh and delicious, and Yuphas has a great ambiance, and we love the decor. It is usually quiet with soft conversation, however on this visit we sat next to a group of six that were rather loud as they were enjoying themselves; I get it, but I was hoping for a quiet dinner with my wife.
We always notice a flow of guests, and the to go order table seems to always be busy with a constant flow of people picking up orders. Our meal on this visit was about $79 with drinks, ice tea, and no dessert.
We highly recommend Yuphas, I won't recommend an item as I feel you will enjoy whatever you order! Put Yuphas on your list.
One of the best Thai restaurants in Phoenix. Pad Thai, curries, spring rolls... there is nothing bad on the menu. Service is great and the place is wonderfully decorated to give you a Thai look and feel.
We both had curry. Food and service were both fantastic. We were still talking about it the next day.
Better service than before, food always great

Overall it’s a great Thai place
One of the best Thai fried rice I had
Perfect level of spiciness and prefect quanitty
Best red curry, anywhere! However, prices have increased and salad bar has disappeared. Portions are smaller and the salad that they do serve you is very small.
Valentine’s Day - Choices… Chinese or Thai? Thai was the winner! This is the classiest Thai place in our area. Started with a Siam Wrap… that was one of best appetizers we have ever tried. For entrees, Louise had the Evil Jungle Princess w/ beef and I had the Tom Yum Soup w/ chicken. For dessert, we shared the fresh made Coconut Ice Cream. This was a fantastic meal… delicious!
Decent lunch special.
Excellent Thai Food and spicy too which we love .. nice atmosphere
A cozy restaurant serving authentic cuisine. Food is great, albeit on a sweeter note. Service is quick and portions are generous. Service is a bit lacking in tableside manners.
Great Thai experience. My guest had a dish that she raved over, she says few Thai places serve it 😋
It was great! Sau was our waiter and she was awesome and so so so nice. Amazing food. Amazing service and the desserts look HEAVENLY!!!!!
They serve complementary soup and salad during lunch hours, the menu is full of vegetarian options. They have a lot of seating areas compared to any other Thai place in the area. The food was excellent, two people from my party ordered double Thai spicy 🔥. I think they enjoyed eating the double spicy food. For me mild was good. The ambiance is nice and the servers are friendly and courteous.
Everyone was kind and it was so delicious. I will visit again.
Great food. Had the drunken noodles with chicken. Service was super also!!
Stellar
Our go-to Thai restaurant. Good variety and quickly served hot. We usually have whatever the special is. Enjoy!!
Delicious lunch special with generous portions.
Food was great
Best Thai place I've been to, all the food is great!
The service was great as well as the atmosphere the restaurant had a floating market mural and a lot of Thai art very nice atmosphere. The food I ate was the egg noodles and boat long life noodles the egg rolls were the best I have ever had but the boat long life noodles were very bland no flavor at all. The noodles are good but very bland broth. Besides the egg rolls this place is forgettable. 3
stars
Absolutely amazing staff, delicious food.
Update: it's still amazing so much later!
I previously gave a 4 star before this visit, but now I downgraded my review to 3 stars because the price increased, but the portion decreased. I used to finish only half a lunch pad thai, but now the portion is so little that I can finish it all. For the price that they charged, it's not worth the trip. I'll still go back for their fried banana coconut ice cream because it's the best in town unless I find another one better.
Brilliant all the way around
Good portion size and great service consistently every time we come
I usually get there right before the kitchen closes, which I feel bad about, but I always get great service and excellent food no matter what.
Absolutely amazing food and the owner was so nice to everyone in the restaurant.
An excellent Thai spot that is a great value for the quality of the food and the amazing service. This place is slammed for almost every meal time and they are brilliant in getting folks seated and served.
By far some of the best Thai food in the city, and some of the best I've had. Very sizable portions too, which is nice. Their curry's (Massaman) was great.
Some of the best Thai food I've ever had. The spiciness is perfectly hot.
Our go to Thai place. Good pad Thai.
Always good authentic food. May is the nicest server ever. Will return for sure.
One of my favorite places. Good service always.
I like Thai food and what I ordered had a lot of vegetables. The flavor was good overall. However some of the vegetables were undercooked to the point I could not chew them, which is distasteful and embarrassing. The place was lovely and the service was good.
Incredible Thai food! 10/10 I crave this place all the time!
The entire staff is quite competent and very attractive! Service is impecable!
Great restaurant, food, and service. Curry chicken #5 was great!
Coming from out of state. This spot was pretty good. My first impression though was not good. I was thinking that this place's food is bland. However after mixing up the food ( Pad Thai), the flavor started kicking in. Would definitely recommend.
Always great food and service.
Food was much better this tme around except the cashew nut chicken only had 5 cashews but the flavor was amazing soup was pretty good egg rolls were good ty for improving it was very enjoyable
Great food definitely looking forward to returning
We had such a wonderful experience from start to end! The food was amazing and the staff was so helpful in recommending different plates. We can’t wait to go back
Love this place!!! 😁
I've been dining at Yupha's since the original location, this recent trip left a bit to be desired. I had the laab dish, ordered it hot (4/5) and it came out a bit too sweet for my liking. I'll stick with the curries and stir fry next time. The service during the lunch rush was great, however.
