Quick Lunch 8/8/2011

Jai Thai has become my favorite go-to Thai Place in the Fremont area to meet with my friend for a quick lunch. The service is wonderful and the staff is very friendly. Just minutes after we sit down we receive a cup of soup that is perfect on those rainy days. I always order their Pad Thai while my friend orders the lunch combo. We are in and out in a flash, yet don't ever feel rushed. The ambience is very comfortable and cozy. When people ask me about my favorite Thai place in Fremont, Jai Thia is that one on top of my mind! more

Excellent place to Pre-funk in Fremont! 1/17/2010

Jai Thai's Fremont Ave location and cocktail party atmosphere on a Friday night, make this an excellent place to meet up for drinks and/or dinner before taking in a live show at one of the many music venues in the Fremont area. Pros: Awesome Food, Great atmosphere Cons: Can't really accomodate large groups for dinner more

Blandest Thai Food In the City 2/6/2009

Disappointed......we ordered several dishes and they were all bland. We ordered our food with 3 stars and it was still incredibly tasteless. If you are a thai food lover and like the rich distinctive flavors normally found in your favorite dishes save your money and try another thai restaurant. The city has lots of good ones. Unfortunately Jai Thai is not one of them! Cons: Parking, service more

I will be back! Great owner, fun atmosphere, reasonable food, very Fremont 8/10/2008

Ok, they have undergone changes and I hope reviewers realize we can all have a bad day. Still packed with locals and the new owner who used to be the waiter and is now an accountant is a sweetheart. I asked for a few off the menu items and got them. Food was fast, water was ok and the service was very Asian........... Pros: Warm invitiing space to meet with friends and easily accomodate large groups more

I won't be back 6/25/2008

The uncooked potatoes in the veggie curry dish was bad enough, but to extract a hair from a spoonful I was chewing is more than I can handle. At least they didn't make me pay, but I'll never go back. P.S. - Aren't cooks supposed to wear hair nets? Theirs weren't. Pros: Prices Cons: Strand of hair in food more

Great Food, declining friendly service with expansion 3/9/2008

I have loved Jai Thai for years, as I used to live in Fremont. However as the restaurant has expanded into other neighborhoods like Belltown, Capitol Hill, Northgate, etc., I have discovered that their customer service has become much less friendly -- down-right impersonal at the Capitol Hill location. But, still great food -- just get ""to go"" so you don't have to deal with the employees. more

bad food 8/10/2007

I'm asian, I've had thai food in New York, San Fran, Seattle, LA, Vancouver and I love thai food. I'll try to keep this review as informative as possible. more

Unbelievably HORRIBLE Waiter!!!!!!! AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7/2/2007

The 4 of us at dinner received sub-par service throughout our meal from our waiter in the following ways; we did not receive all the rice we ordered, we had to flag down some other waiter to receive more water after waiting for our waiter to come back & check with us on how the food was, (my food was much spicier than what I ordered). When it came time to pay the bill, my friend filled out the credit card slip for the tip (at almost 15%). The waiter came back to pick it up and immediately scrutinized the amount of tip we left him. He said that we didn't even tip him 20% and that we should fix it. He gave us back the ticket and basically told us to give him more money. My friend then justified the amount we gave him and that this was extremely rude to question how much we wanted to GIFT him in tip. THEN he goes to get a calculator to argue what 20% of our bill would have been. Can you believe this????? We're all adults, not 13-year olds who don't know how to tip. He verbally accosted us and said that if we said the service was fine, we should have tipped more. In essence, he felt that we had betrayed him or something for making him think that he'd receive a bigger tip when we felt he shouldn't have. The moral of this story is; don't go to Jai Thai. The food did not outshine the HORRENDOUSLY BAD SERVICE offered by this waiter. We should have taken the entire tip off the bill because he surely did not deserve a cent after this episode. Don't go to Jai Thai in Fremont if you don't want to get called out on your tipping practices. I will tell everyone I know never to go to that place again. Cons: SERVICE WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE more

I'll be back 6/8/2007

Their curry fried rice is to die for, enough for me to overlook their faults. if they made it with brown rice, I would eat there even more often. I also order the yellow chicken curry soup and brown rice to go with it as a substitute for white. The chicken seems rather processed, lean and dry. More of a texture addition, and not the star of the dish. Usually the sauces make up for mediocre meat. Just don't order the chicken on a bed of spinach with peanut sauce on top. The peanut sauce seems like it came from a grocery store jar, too thick. They don't usually bring us all of the drinks we order, but we'll be back anyway. Must have Yellow Chicken Curry! more

Great service, we loved Chai! 3/27/2007

We got the late night hunger pangs while drinking at another Fremont establishment and walked down to Jai Thai. Our waiter, Chai, greeted us and seated us right away. He was very friendly and I loved his nature, God knows I wouldn't be able to deal with the late night drunken patrons. If you go, ask for Chai! :) more

quick hot lunch 11/17/2006

I went to Jai Thai today with some girls from work and we were very pleased with the quick service and great meal. We were seated promptly and after ordering our food came out in less than 10 minutes. The food was wonderful. The only down side is that you cannot have them split the check. more

Atmosphere and Cuisine 11/2/2006

Fremont has more Thai restaurants per/square mile than anywhere else in the city. However, for my money, Jai Thai is the best. The prices are reasonable, they have a good handle on the spicy/not spicy factor and the dim-light cozy seating is comforting on even the rainiest of Seattle days. Every appetizer on the menu is good and their bar selection is immense. The wait staff is busy but not too busy to smile or seat you, and it was not reflected by slow service. They even treated my 5-year old with the respect he is often refused by other Seattle restaurants. Pros: food, service, bar Cons: parking more

Delicious! 10/29/2006

Thai restaurants are a dime a dozen and I've been to a lot of them but this Jai Thai in Fremont had the most incredible pad thai, yellow curry chicken and Thai fried rice. I took my very-picky-about-Asian-food parents there and they were blown away. Can't put my finger on it but the taste of each dish just had something special that sets this restaurant apart. And the prices were very reasonable too. My only complaint is the dark and rather scary bathroom. more

Great Phad Thai, Yellow curry 9/9/2006

A few friends and I go to the Fremont Jai Thai at least once a week. For a few months, the service was pretty bad, but it has gotten much better over the last month - there are quite a few new faces there. more

great 8/25/2006

The food was amazing...and the drinks are just as good! In all the times I have been there it has been busy, but in a home-y way, not too loud and still comfortable. I have never had a bad dish, the cooking is great more

I love Jai Thai! 5/4/2006

I always can get delicious food like my Thai friend used to cook for me and my friends when I was in Thai with good price at Jai Thai. And staff are very friendly. I always enjoy Thai language sound as well. Pros: Delicous food , Inexpensive more
