Aunty Yum Yum's Real Thai Food — Restaurant in Valdez

A cozy little spot that warms the hearts of travelers run by the kindest auntie you’ll ever meet. Her food instantly reminds you of home in Thailand, like mom’s cooking. A hot bowl of chicken noodle soup here can chase away any cold.

The broth is incredible because they put real care into every dish, picking only the best ingredients.

Sure, some flavors aren’t as bold as back in Thailand certain ingredients just can’t be found here but the food is still so fresh and seriously delicious. They even use local shrimp straight from the fishermen at the pier cuz I’ve seen the owner herself go buy them right off the boat.

It’s the kind of place where local ingredients meet the soul of Thai cooking. And if you’re lucky enough to catch the owner when she’s not too busy, chatting with her is a joy in itself. Definitely a spot you should try...

I’ve been coming here since they opened and the green curry is always so fresh, flavorful, and loaded with fresh veggies! It’s a little more brothy than others, but it does not take away from the flavor. And I love the purple rice, it’s more flavorful than white rice. When they first started you’d get chicken breast meat, but now you get rib meat. I don’t love rib meat so I just order the shrimp instead. But the veggie option is just as good. And they are always SO sweet and nice. One time I showed up with a cold, and she gave me a hot tea that “should help with my sickness” for free. My only complaint would be lack of heaters in the picnic area, so I just take it to go on...

Absolutely delicious Thai food! Green curry dish was pleasantly spicy and loaded with chicken and vegetables. Pad Thai was excellent. Butterfly pea flower tea was a fun and tasty treat! Service was quick despite everything being prepared to order with the freshest available ingredients, and the owner is super friendly and funny! She clearly takes great pride in her work. Overall a very enjoyable experience - will definitely...
