«Thai It… You’ll Like It»
History
Established in 1985.
The Y Eatery, now also known as the «Y Thai «, opened in the Fall of 1985 to provide lunches to YMCA lecture program attendees. In January 1986 the restaurant opened for full service to public. During our 22 years of operation, it has been our philosophy and objective to provide the best food and service to our customers. We are honored that the majority of our customers are regulars ranging from those who come for lunch almost every day to those who return several times a month.
The quality and taste of our food is similar to what we prepare and eat at home. We are about the ingredients we use and the nutritional value as much as the taste. For our chicken dishes, we start by removing the skin and fat. We use only 100% canola oil for all cooked and fried dishes. Our dishes do not contain any trans-fats. We add brown rice to our steamed white rice to increase its nutritional value. We do not use MSG in any dish served at the Y Eatery.
