ThaiYada Restaurant — Restaurant in City of Rochester

My family and I fell in love with Thai food 23 years ago thanks to an incredible restaurant in Pittsburgh called Thai Cuisine. I've never found a place close to that first experience until this evening. I was only able to try one dish -- the Gaeng Keow Wan / Green Curry.

It. Was. Fantastic. The curry has an incredible blend of flavors, and the tofu (so good!) and veggies are cooked very well. Some of the chicken was a little tough, but that did not detract from the rest of the dish.

The people who cook and serve are lovely, kind, and attentive.

While I enjoyed dining in, be aware that it's not air conditioned, and there are only a few tables. It seems most of their business is take-out.

My only regret is that I'm returning home to VA tomorrow, and so won't be able to try more dishes.

Go eat there as soon...

Attempted to order from here. They did not have flat noodles in stock. I had to see if I could order something else so I told him I'd call him back. When I called back the first person didnt understand when i asked him to replace an order and handed the phone off without relaying the information. When i told the second person i didnt want it with the smaller noodles (since he asked), he told me he would cancel that. I then asked them to cancel the whole order since they were unable to make half of it and it didn't make sense to have only one person in my group eat. Afterwards doordash called and asked if I would be picking up the order I had canceled.

I guess the best solution would be only to order food if you are at...

I don't know what happened to their Google reviews, but it was a 4.9/5 with nearly a thousand reviews the last time I was here. I travel a LOT and ThaiYada is the BEST Thai food you'll find on the east coast.

My recommendations: Panang with chicken, fried tofu, and a thai iced tea. Their house special fried rice (basil rice) is also exceptional if you want to swap that out instead of getting the Panang.

The food is pricey, but portions are HUGE and the quality is beyond exceptional!

ThaiYada is easily one of my top 3 favorite restaurants that I've ever been to in and out of the country. Highly...
