We were craving drunken noodles and the usual spot had closed. Yin Dee looked promising, but I’m not sure if the usual cook was there or if there was someone else not as experienced cooking. The sausage was pretty disappointing for the cost. The drunken noodles were medium sized rice noodles, not the flat wide ones. It was edible, but had too much fish sauce, wasn’t not sweet or sour enough. The thum sapp lao papaya salad was inedible. The green papaya felt wilted like it had been prepared for more than a day ahead of time, and the amount of fish sauce overpowered any other flavors that might have been present. The accompaniments— the beef balls were over fried, dry, and very dense; the pork belly fat wasn’t rendered, and was chewy and the skin was hard like plastic; the pickled mustard greens were so salty it was clear they hadn’t been rinsed with water or they should have been chopped finely. The woman that helped us when we picked up the take out, was very nice and the containers were all labeled. It looks to be a small business and perhaps they just had an off day.
Had the Drunken Noodles and Thai Spicy Basil. Both had a really good flavor and good amount of spice. Rather than chunks of chicken, everything was diced in. A good amount of vegetables too. One gripe is that the noodle for Drunken Noodles wasn't a wide noodle but was the pad thai noodle instead. It also wasn't very wet but the flavor was good. I will return!
Update - they no longer serve this item due to what covid has done to the world. The food is not the same and very disappointed.I enjoy the, "Build your own noodle bowl", with; beef broth, marbled eggs, pork belly, all vegetables, pho noodles, and from time to time pork dumplings. Hands down, this is the best Thai food that I have ever had. I have to visit Yin Dee once a week. I am addicted and I know whomever comes for their first visit will also make this a part of their weekly routine.
I've heard how good Laoatian cuisine is o I had to eat here. I've been here probably 3 times already, never disappointed. Very tasty, and I'll be back!
Been going there for the past 3-4 years now … and it’s the most authentic, good flavored, good priced, great portioned Thai and Lao cuisine. The summer rolls and red curry noodle bowl are my personal favorites. If I could go everyday I would . Also the summer rolls are burrito sized, and dip it in the peanut sauce and peanuts … mouthwatering . The summer rolls at other restaurants are tiny and come with sweet chili sauce or a watery peanut sauce and no peanuts . Also nicest employees!!!
Very average tasting Thai food. I'm not sure how the good reviews are speaking highly but I had ordered pad thai and drunken noodles. Both were tasting straight up sauce based without any freshness or zing to it.
Growing up in India one of my favorite treats were street Momo's tossed in spicy delicious sauce and since immigrating I've never tasted anything like them,,, till now. YinDee's spicy pad Thai with dumplings added is by far the most delicious thing you will ever eat!!
Ordered the Tom Yum and it was sad, weak flavorless broth, no lemongrass or lime leaves, cherry tomatoes, and dry over cooked chicken. The vegetable egg rolls were alright, hot and crispy and the Thai tea was pretty good.
Hands down the best Thai food in the area!!! The generous portions are always, fresh and flavorful. Service is excellent. No exaggeration, I am here at least once a week and would 100% recommend.
Found this gem of a restaurant about a year ago and have eaten here almost once a week since then. Amazing food. I love Thai, and Vietnamese, and I feel like this place takes the best of both and creates amazing dishes. Generous portions, very nice staff. The Mee Kha Tee with pork belly is the best!
