Yim Yam has moved to a bigger place however I found the place not very inviting and the tables are too close to each other. Service was good but unfortunately the two dishes we asked for they had run out of and it was only 7.30pm. The food we ordered was good and value for money however the Roti Bread... More

I stumbled on this place and enjoyed my visit. I chose the chicken satay and a vegetarian rice salad, intending to eat them together. The satay was large pieces of chicken breast in a very turmeric satay sauce. The salad was unusual (for me!) and comprised a nice fresh mix of salad greens and herbs with a nice light dressing....

Yim Yam came highly recommended to us but unless I missed something I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. We found the whole experience quite underwhelming and to top it off the toilet is outside in the freezing cold. Major thumbs down here :( More

We had left it too late to get a table at this local hot spot, so went the home delivery service for $2!!! The Seafood curry presented in a drinking coconut tasts just as good at home as it does in the. restaurant. Love the tom yum, the salads and always have a dash at the specials More

My fiance and I have been here a few times.. So we decided to take our friends there - but it was such a disappointment this time. The service was fairly bad, only 2 wait staff on, and with a group of 6 like ours, they would usually leave us until last. The place small and cozy and normally the... More

Ive dined at many Thai Restaurants but this menu was very different . The restaurant is quite small but very cosy. Service was great and we our needs were consistently met. Berr list... More

Had YIm Yam home delivered for the second time last night. I remembered from the first time we had it, that I had found our dishes too sweet. I know Thai cuisine uses palm sugar in most of its meals and I add it when I cook Thai but our meals last night were way too sweet. Fine in every... More

Tiny place. Big taste!!! I just love the food here. Ate Thai in quite a few spots in Melbourne - but this place tops it for taste and value. The venue is tinyyyyyyy, but cute n cosy. If u don't have a booking - just order over the phone and pick it up! Nothin better than gathering friends or family... More
