A hidden gem for really good Thai food. We loved the pad kee mao, sweet corn salad, and fried pumpkin. The food comes out quick, and the staff are super friendly. We went around weekday lunch and it was quiet enough to have conversations with friends. Would recommend coming by if you're craving Thai!

Green curry is lit. Thick, spicy and yumO!!! The sweet corn salad was very fresh, lettuce and veggies crisp. It was a bit bland, but I spiced it up with chilis. IMO the curry is a bit overpriced for the size of the dish. The rice was kind of mushy. Ample interior dining and a small amount of tables for outdoor dining. Note: Restrooms are up a few stairs, so not ADA accessible. In my first visit the staff was great, second visit I felt like I was ignored and unattended to. Overall quality of food is 5 but bc of prices and service I can only rate 4 stars.

This is absolutely my favorite Thai place in Oakland. Everything I've tried has been delicious and I always get the chicken wings. There's really nothing I can say to describe the deliciousness of this fried crispy wings. Overall...Great food, great service and great happy hour drinks nothing else left to say but I guess give them a try.

Food was good, American Fried rice was good but the Thai one & Pad See Ew was alright. The fish dish was good, forgot what it was called. The Pad Thai was yummy too. Wonderful service, came with a party of 9 and they were accommodating to my little one, brought her a kids plate and utensils.

after all these yrs of the Berkeley Thai scene, I would ultimately choose yimm to take any new friend in town to. Food, vibes, service, and location are all solid. Highly recommend the fried pumpkin appetizer -- this thing is so freaking crispy and yummy with a one of a kind dipping sauce on the side. Pad se ew is the best one I've had ever, and the huge plate of fried rice does not compromise quality over quantity. The pork belly plate is good but kinda salty so be warned. They have a bunch of spices and sauces to pair with ur food, and the PLATES are so cute. This is a sister restaurant of imm in downtown Berkeley, but I'd recommend yimm over imm any day with how quaint and nice this restaurant is

Cute, bright spot for a quick and flavorful dinner. This place came highly recommended and it didn't disappoint. The food was great and came out quickly -- it was perfect, as we were getting close to our showtime at the Berkeley Playhouse. I had the praram plate, a delicious peanut-curry-chicken dish (and the closest thing I've found to Massaman curry here in the Bay!). Would highly recommend. The cocktails were bright and fruity, really tasty!

I came on Saturday for lunch and it was very easy to get a table for 3. We ordered the Kua gai, tom yum omelet rice and tom kha. This was the perfect amount of food for 3 girls. The Tom yum omelet rice was my favorite! I've never had anything like this. The sauce was surprisingly spicy and really tied the whole dish together. Kua gai was also good but I would try their other noodle dishes next time. The tom kha was good but the portion is really small.

Yimm is delicious! Parking Parking on College Avenue is super hard and the restaurant is located near a corner/larger intersection so I recommend arriving 10 minutes early to find a spot. Ambiance The restaurant has a very open layout and is very cute/pretty! It's a good size and lets in lots of natural light. Service The service was nice and the food was brought out in a timely manner. Food The drinks look so delicious but I've never tried any. The Chicken Pad See Ew and Pad Thai are both soooo good. They have amazing flavor and the noodles are the perfect texture. The Chicken Green Curry is both decadent and delicious, the vegetables are cooked to perfection (very soft) and the chicken is nice and tender/juicy. This was my favorite dish by far. Overall I definitely recommend Yimm, it is the perfect place for a date night or to take friends or family :) I will definitely be coming back to try more dishes!

Had take out this time and provided specific instructions on how to separate the sauce so that toddler can have the dishes without any spicy sauce (spicy tangy house sauce for fish, or the peanut sauce for praram). They followed it exactly as requested. Thank you! Everything was delicious. Since the fish didn't have sauce on it, it allowed us to also heat it up so it's crispy before we ate it with sauce and toddler can have it without sauce.
