YaYa's Thai Fusion & Steaks — Restaurant in Kenner

Ya Ya's Thai Street Fusion has amazing AUTHENTIC Thai cuisine, friendly service full of beautiful smiles, and a playful "side car" restaurant layout which is attached to a laid back neighborhood bar called Brewskies! My husband and I had dinner at Ya Ya's for the first time last Friday, and I immediately loved the design choices as I took my first look around. The walls are a warm sunset with elegant black accents and gold placemats on the tables. I felt like I had discovered a secret tucked away where my husband and I could have an intimate dinner with great food, strong drinks, and no screaming children at the table beside me. What a great idea! You easily place your food order on a touch screen upon entry and you can step into Brewskies to order a drink while your food is being prepared. I ordered the "Drunken Mamma Noodle" and my husband the "Pad Thai". We frequently enjoy Thai cuisine and were both very pleased with our meals! The portions were perfect, plenty of protein, fresh ingredients, and the spice was spot on for those who enjoy some heat upon request!! My husband and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu! We will be going back for a fun date night...

Yaya’s Thai Street Fusion is a hidden gem in New Orleans! The roti with massaman curry is a standout, with the massaman curry achieving the perfect blend of flavors. The stir-fry kale with pork belly might just be the best Asian pork belly dish in the city—crispy, savory, and absolutely delicious. The Pad Thai and golden pork roll-up are also excellent choices. Don’t let the restaurant’s exterior deceive you; despite being located inside Skybrew Bar, Yaya’s delivers an authentic and delightful culinary experience. Highly recommend ordering to-go for a convenient and tasty meal at home!

Update:

Excited to see YaYa Thai Restaurant open a new location on Veterans Blvd! The food is a delicious mix of Thai and Chinese flavors — fresh, flavorful, and made with care. It’s great to have another local spot bringing authentic taste and friendly service to the area. Let’s all support small local businesses like this!

When ordering, I thought it would be good, but I was wrong! I found myself licking my fingers, lips, plate, and all! Just for the record, I never do these sorts of things! I typically don't leave reviews either! This is a really authentic place if you are looking for Thai. The food was so "FRESH and the flavor was undeniable!" We will definitely be visiting in person soon! Wow, I am amazed, and you will be too!

UPDATE: HAD a horrible experience the following week. They put pig fat in my pad Thai! Then when confronted claimed it was tofu and they just forgot to put the chicken. It was disgusting. No answer when calling, just don't order! Waste of time. Had to go in person to settle the...
