Ying Thai Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings
Hits the spot when you need something different! Having lived in Asia for almost a decade and visiting Thailand many times for work, I realize that this restaurant is catering more towards the American palate, but hey! This is Westminster. I can't complain when there's a restaurant that is trying to make its customers happy and offering something different in an attempt to broaden the locals' culinary horizons. The only downside is that since the COVID scare is over, it would be good to clear up the dining room and dismantle the COVID takeout setup... it brings back bad memories.
The pad Thai, the veggie spring rolls and the red curry, tofu and veggies my wife you got for the Tom Yum and I got the wonton soup I do like the small wontons. Everything was excellent. The service was fantastic and even though it was about 20 minutes before their lunchtime, which is between three and four, they are closed they got our food very quick so they could eat. No hurry on us. This is definitely our favorite restaurant and as many times as we've been there which never failed.
Had Drunken Noodle with Beef and Calamari; WOW! Didn't think I could ever find a superb DN as I did here. Do yourself a favor and go try it, thai hot!!
Friendly small business, family owned. We were glad to support it by eating here as we were driving through town. Husband loved his Tom Ka gai soup and I enjoyed the miso. They were out of the papaya salad so I ordered a side salad with peanut sauce and it was delicious! I ordered green curry, mild level, with shrimp & veggies. It was very tasty and too spicy hot at mild. Had to get some vanilla yogurt added to my mango smoothie to take some of the heat off. Husband liked his fried chicken and potato wedges. Waitress was nice and helpful. Recommend this Thai restaurant to others.
This is absolutely my favorite Thai place around! 10/10 recommend. The food is hot, fresh, and high quality. The hostess is always very welcoming.
Amazing food as usual. Portions about 30% smaller than usual, which was very disappointing , but still great taste.
I am absolutely in love with their fried rice. They always give the perfect level of spicyness that I ask for. Their appetizers are yummy as well. My husband loves their pineapple fried rice while I'm fond of their regular spicy fried rice with pork. Their iced Thai tea and iced Thai coffee were both amazing. It's a pleasure to support this small business and its owners- they are kind and devoted to their restaurant. The servers are all sweet and funny. The restaurant itself is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall with limited seating, but it's authentic and cozy, no complaints at all! I only wish it was closer to where I live!
Excellent Thai. But watch out. They go a little crazy with the heat. I order no spice because sometimes even mild lights you up
Delicious, best Thai food in the area, and rarely disappoints vs. I hope this place thrives forever, it dominantly beat Covid.
I've been working in Westminster since last year and the food I order has been hit or miss...Today I found my spot. The chicken wings were amazing and my drunken noodles were amazing. Next time I'll order mild so my hub can taste them. Apparently the mild were too hot.
