This was my first time coming to this restaurant with couple of friends. The food was great, tasteful and awesome. The staffs were friendly, attentive and humorous. The atmosphere was cozy with many Thailand decorations. I highly recommend it to everyone

Thai restaurant with a large, clean space and an open kitchen. Food portions are generous and the spice levels are spot on. The green curry had great depth and variety of flavor. Good alternative to Thai Thom which is perpetually busy and small. Full bar. Polite staff.

This Jai Thai is under new ownership and is absolutely outstanding. Very, very good! The curry is perfect. The khao man gai was wonderful too. It comes with a tasty side of soup. The chef is extremely talented. He had an almost full dining room and just kept pumping out ridiculously great food. This place is brand new and you should definitely try it! I'm already planning my next visit

Absolutely great Thai restaurant. Came in on a Saturday so they were busy but fortunately we were seated immediately. There were only 2 waitresses, 1 of them was also a host. It was absolutely busy. I must admit that I didn't expect much seeing how a bit rundown the place is, and how few the staff were there. It took a while to get our food, but man the taste was there. Wish I took more pictures tbh. Had Pad kee mao with pork, and combo 9 panang curry with chicken. Both spicy level 4, and it was perfect. The host lady was as friendly as Thai people if we were in Thailand. For the price, the portion was generous. No doubt in my mind will want to come back and support them!

Loved the food and atmosphere. Service was also quick. Quantity and quality of food is suitable for price. Also spice level was acurate.

The food here comes extremely fast which was surprisingly very nice! I had fried rice on one visit and pad Thai on another and enjoyed both meals. The portions are satisfying and the dining area is spacious and was pretty empty both times I visited. Would come again!

Went here first time in a Saturday morning, they don't look particularly passionate about serving the whole menu and provided a few options instead. I ended up getting basil over rice but it tastes good. Very authentic thai food. I recommend 1 level down your usual spicy level, because they are on the spicier end of Thai food in Seattle.
