    Everything I have tried is amazing. Top favorites are drunken noodles and pho. I am picky when it comes to pho and normally eat at Bida and Bida only for it, but it was a Tuesday so I gave it a try. 10/10. So much flavor. No need to add any other sauces.

    Great new location, amazing atmosphere and the service was amazing. Had some of the best Pad Thai. Crab Rangoon were very good as well. Ignore the latest bad reviews, nothing bad about this establishment.

    3 shrimp in the entire container.

    Ordered Tom Kha soup with shrimp tonight. The good news is - broth is great! Bad news - there's no substance...about 4 slices of mushrooms, 2 cherry tomatoes, and 3 plastic spoon size shrimp in the LARGE container! Will not be ordering again unfortunately. Shrimp were $2 add on. Worth about $0.50! Broth for $12 - I can only assume there are better options out there.

    I want to start off by saying that the owner did the right thing and refunded one of our meals when I told him about our disappointing experience. He was really apologetic and nice about it. I'm hoping on my next trip it'll be a 5 star review. That said, I can only review on what was my food experience on this day. The restaurant felt a little "shabby"... Self serve water station looked very messy (so much so we paid for bottled water) and it just didn't feel welcoming and super clean. We grabbed menus at the front and went to our table to decide what to order. We ordered two entrees. An order of drunken noodles with beef (12.00 plus an extra 2.50 for the beef) and an order of crispy shrimp (14.00). We also ordered an extra side of sauce which was a single tiny plastic container and was a dollar. That's a bit high for a single container we felt. We ordered two bottles drinks (again, because the water station looked like it wasn't kept up). When the order came I was beyond shocked our $14 shrimp entree came with 3 total shrimp, 4 carrot slices and 2 pieces of broccoli with rice. I felt like this was a kid's meal, not a $14 adult meal. The veggies were ice cold and the rice was luke warm. I asked the owner if 3 shrimp, and a garnish of cold veggies was normal. He apologized profusely and said his son was injured and as the cook they're struggling to keep up without him. Immediately he refunded me for that entree and told me to please give them a second chance. It was because of his kindness and willingness to take responsibility that I will give them a second chance! The drunken noodles were OK. The sauce was all on the bottom (as if it was poured in and the food placed on top) and so it didn't have a lot of flavor. The beef was very tough and really wasn't appetizing either, but with just 3 shrimp we ate it. At least the sauce itself was good when we got to the bottom noodles. I think this dish could have been better with chicken (no upcharge there) and if the noodles were covered in sauce better. Overall I'm hoping it truly was an off night for this place because the other reviews are great and the owner was so helpful. I look forward to a better experience next time and being able to edit my review to show a better experience. Thank you to the owner for trying to make it right! I appreciate that very much.

    Combo Meal

    I have order from here twice now. Both times excellent. Last time I ordered was the pho and it's became probably my top three pho. This time I order a combo with fried chicken it's so good season perfectly. I just love this restaurant.

    I mean you have some of the items at JD

    The atmosphere for this for this type place is great. The food is excellent service is also very very fast and very good and friendly too. I would definitely recommend this to another another place another location and then I also it's probably one of the better Thai places that I've been to in the greater Knoxville area so I'm gonna give this five stars.

    Sweet and sour tofu
    Kathie S.

    Enjoyed our lunch today we got chicken drunken noodles and sweet and sour tofu. The noodles were very tasty and the right amount of spice for medium, according to my husband. I loved the sweet and sour tofu - the tofu was slightly crispy on the outside and soft/chewy in the inside (chef's kiss). Reminded me of my childhood. BTW, I don't eat meat or seafood and many of their offerings can be made vegetarian/vegan. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Green Curry (With Steamed Rice) (w/the bamboo cut to smaller bite size)
    Renee H.

    still one of my fave local offerings for lunch delivery. the red curry used to be my jam. [but i think it's no longer offered.] ~~ {Please tell me i'm WRONG} so now the green curry is where it's at. and i love eating the bamboo shoots. (even tho my TN'd teeth require some smaller cut pieces than it comes with... kitchen shears FTW.) As for ambiance... it's been several years since i dined in, so i'm not the best judge of that. for me It's usually work lunch delivery. and lasts me TWO lunches!

    Volunteer Roll(back) and Crunchy Shrimp (front). Rolls double-stacked
    Lindsay H.

    NOMFEST 2021, y'all! We are shocked that this place wasn't packed on a Friday evening, because it was amazing. I am usually skeptical when a restaurant tries to tackle more than one cuisine (in this case Thai and Japanese) but Jai Dee made me a believer. A wide variety of noodles, soups (including Pho), sushi galore, stir-fry, and curries. The menu is a lot to take in, but I really appreciated how funny the menu dish descriptions were. This was a unique touch. *virtual high-five.* Our preschooler specifically requested sushi for family night and we definitely got our carb on! We got a few other kid-friendly items and were really wowed with the depth of flavors and freshness. We tried: -Volunteer Roll (crab salad and shrimp-my fave) -Sex on the Beach Roll (giaganto. Had to take 2-3 bites of each piece. Lots of flavor. Slight sear on salmon was great. Roe added a nice texture. The fave of my husband and 4-yo) -Crunchy Shrimp Roll (typical shrimp tempura roll. tasty and appreciated removal of the tail on end pieces) -Pad See Ew-Chicken (really flavorful brown sauce and loved the endless veggies included and perfectly cooked) -Pineapple Curry Fried Rice-Shrimp (subtle curry flavor that made this tasty dish disappear wayyy too quickly) If I had to gripe about anything, it would be nitpicking about the small dab of wasabi with the sushi and the thin to-go packaging, which leaked quite a bit. The parking is also a bit inconvenient. We found the easiest was to park behind the building. The service was fast and friendly and the food amazing. We will definitely be back!

    What a great recommendation!!! first off I have spent quite…read morea while looking for fresh spring rolls... and then I was told Sticky Rice Café has them! They do and they are delicious... served with peanuts sauce, of course From the moment we walked in the energy, vibe and passion was apparent!! Our server was Tre... He asked us if we had eaten there before which we told him we had not so he took the time and explained the menu the food and also his favorite pics. He explained grandma's sauces and gave us a great education on the type of food that we would be ordering! After the spring rolls, my husband ordered the dinner portion of grilled pork chops. BIINGMOO and I ordered PAD KEE MAO.... This is wide noodles in an amazing sauce and you have your choice of beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, or tofu to be added. I chose beef......Tre brought three little dishes to sample three at grandma's sauces which all had amazing flavors with a little bit of heat... our meals were brought to us and of course we tasted each other's meals and we're amazed at the freshness, flavor and the size. Oh my goodness this is a place that if you enjoy fresh food with an Asian twist, you need to try it. Grandma sauces can be purchased as they are bottled for sale as well. Service was wonderful to go food going out the door was nonstop. And we were lucky enough to sit at the far back of the restaurant next to the kitchen, so we got to watch all of the different platings coming out.... And we just need to start at the top of the menu and work our way down because everything looks wonderful. Happy people, happy servers, great vibe. There is a bar off to the side, which basically was full the entire time we were there. Really a very nice experience five stars and two thumbs up!!!!

    Still great consistent service and tasty food. Truly an asset to Knoxville dining. We visited again…read moretoday and we have zero complaints. Since moving into the bigger location it's easier to be seated quickly. The dining room is welcoming, open and super clean. Everyone on staff is eager to help even if they are not your specific waitress. **Tip take home a jar of your favorite sauce. They sell them!
