Customer experiences
Hat Yai has very generous portions with a great selection. Their fried chicken is great. But they have many different sets that let you get different curries, rottis, and other signature dishes. For your first time definitely get the fried chicken entree set and add a wing. It will come with a curry, delicious fried chicken, and great pickled veggies. If you don't want fried chicken they have many other options too. The fried chicken is moist, crunchy, with a light and herby batter. It comes with a tangy dipping sauce. This fried chicken is not heavy at all. There is street parking in the area. Expect to pay $16~24 (not including drinks). You order at the front then they bring the food out.
Casual spot. Order inside and find a table. Enjoyed a nice evening outside and the food came reasonably soon. It had a good amount of heat in the vegetarian curry. A few fun drink options and beer and wine. Pretty good overall Thai food in a relaxed and casual setting.
I’ve had Thai food in many different cities across the U.S., and overall, I think Thai cuisine tends to be one of the most consistent and satisfying Asian food options here. That said, this particular restaurant didn’t quite meet my expectations. I visited after seeing a glowing recommendation from a blogger, but I have to say — some influencer reviews might be a bit too generous. The flavors here were underwhelming, and not quite as impressive as advertised. I even saw two people filming content while I was dining, which made me wonder if the hype was a bit overblown. The oxtail soup was the biggest disappointment — I honestly couldn’t tell if I was drinking soup or straight vinegar. Their signature curry also let me down. It tasted heavily of Mae Ploy curry paste with canned coconut milk, and there weren’t any fresh ingredients like meat or vegetables. Just a few fried shallots on top. It felt like something made entirely from premade sauces. To be honest, I’ve made better curry at home with fresher ingredients. That said, the prices were quite reasonable, so if you’re just looking for a quick Thai meal that won’t break the bank, it’s not the worst choice. Also, one of the servers had great energy and a unique sense of style — definitely added a bit of charm to the experience.
Not the meal I was expecting but very good. We got the hay yai for two. Not sure what all the pickled vegetables were but all but the jalapenos were very tasty. The chicken was crispy with only a little bit of fried breading, they way they flavor the chicken here is more about the pre dredging soak then the frying. The curry was extremely delicious and without many of the off putting typical issues that curry can face. The roti is close to naan but a little oily. And the sticky rice was near perfect being sticky but not burnt. We also got a thai iced tea which hit the spot of not being too sweet or to bitter.
Hat Yai is a thai restaurant.
