Thai restaurant run by Atique And Moy Choudhury

Saturday night dinner at Yum Yum Walthamstow. All food is halal. Went with my family, it was my dad's birthday. Loads of options on the menu, chicken, beef, veg and prawn options available for most dishes. 
Unfortunately for me my dish the red curry was actually the worst red curry I've had. It taste store brought and had a really lacked any depth for flavour. Bad for me, but my parents and brothers food were all good. Very busy, so recommend you book a table.

@halalfoodguy's review of Yum Yum Stoke Newington on Instagram

Thai Restaurant YumYum

First time trying Yum Yum in Stoke Newington in May 2025. My friends often recommend it, so I was really looking forward to finally visiting. We came after an escape room on Saturday afternoon, and I was glad to see they open for lunch on weekends.

The restaurant itself is spacious and stylish, with a lovely outdoor area that must be great in warmer months. Inside, there are plenty of tables and even a space at the back that looks ideal for group gatherings. Service was friendly and attentive throughout, which I really appreciated.

We ordered a few starters (money bags, prawn toast, and pumpkin & sweet corn cakes), which were crispy and enjoyable — definitely my favourite part of the meal. For my main, I tried the Pad Woon Sen Ta Ray (mung bean glass noodles with seafood). I liked that it was something different from the usual pad Thai, and the variety of seafood and veg was good, but unfortunately it was much saltier than expected. Drinks were decent value during happy hour, though my mocktail had a lot of ice so felt a little watered down. I also ordered mango sticky rice to go — nicely presented but a small portion for the price.

The biggest downside for me was the basement toilets. The smell as I walked downstairs was very strong and quite off-putting, especially as it’s close to the lounge area. Thankfully it wasn’t noticeable in the main dining space, but it did take away from the overall experience.

Overall, Yum Yum has a lot going for it — great service, plenty of space, and an attractive setting. But the food and the facilities didn’t quite live up to the high expectations I had based on my friends’ recommendations. Hopefully these are things that can be improved, as I’d like to give it another try in future.

Yum Yum Thai truly exceeded my expectations!
Went for my wife birthday.
The Thai food was absolutely delicious, with the Mango Sticky Rice being a standout – a perfect finale to the meal. Generous portions and reasonable prices made it an even better value, considering the high quality of the dishes. The customer service was top-notch by Turzo p contributing to a wonderful dining experience overall. I highly recommend Yum Yum Thai for its exceptional food, great value, and outstanding service!
Food was halal which was a bonus.

Friendly service, nice ambiance and delicious food. I had the tofu pad Thai was lovely - good amount of tofu in there, tasted fresh and perfectly balanced. Looking forward to our next visit!

✨ Where Thai elegance meets London charm Yum Yum Thai isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a journey for your senses.✨

From the moment you walk into this Stoke Newington gem, you’re greeted with genuine smiles and hospitality that’s top-notch. The place is a visual treat — a glamorous Georgian building split into distinct moods: traditional Thai wooden house seating, a chic lounge bar, a peaceful garden terrace, and even a hidden Orchid Lounge for those intimate gatherings.

The grand finale

Ended with a Karak Chai that was nothing short of mind-blowing — warm, spiced, and perfectly brewed.

Excellent Thai food. Very specious and beautiful restaurant and quick service. Will come back for summer and sit in the garden.
