    The atmosphere was perfect so cute and cozy! Best service ever! Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! Accidentally ordered the sticky mango rice for dessert so I went ahead and ordered the tiramisu also because it's my favorite, it did not disappoint! That mango sticky rice was a wonderful surprise! Can't wait to go back!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

For context, we spent only about $10 more a few nights earlier at Firebirds, a considerably more upscale spot nearby, and that meal included wine, prime rib, and a large appetizer. What we got here felt like something I could put together at home for twenty bucks. The sweet and sour chicken was the main letdown. Clearly flash breaded and fried, and I would wager close to a sixth of what I was chewing was breading alone. The vegetables looked like someone quartered a tomato, a green pepper, and an onion and dropped them on the plate to take up space. No visible sear, no visible wok time, no visible effort. The pineapple amounted to about six pieces, and I mean the small ones you find in a child's Dole cup. The sweet and sour sauce was almost certainly store bought and, worse, served cold. Nobody warmed it. The brown rice, on the other hand, was excellent. I have never been a fan of brown rice in my life and this one changed my mind, which I did not expect to write in a review today. The spicy coconut soup was genuinely good, but calling it spicy is an insult to anyone with functioning taste buds. I have had mild taco sauce packets with more heat. Judged on flavor alone I enjoyed it, and it plus the rice were the highlights of the night. The biggest flop was the fried vegetable rolls. Without a doubt these were frozen rolls from the grocery store. I have eaten those exact rolls hundreds of times and I know them by sight. Seven dollars for three out of a box of twelve that retails for seven dollars is a wild markup. The dipping sauce was good, possibly also store bought, but it was flavorful and actually warmed. If it is a retail brand I would honestly love to know which one. Three out of five. There were real bright spots, but I would not come back when the same money buys a more authentic and more upscale meal somewhere else without the feeling of being ripped off.

They have some really wide variety of dishes, you can get some very traditional dishes from Laos such as mango with fish sauce ( which I don't recommend unless you're very adventurous ).

I really like to support local businesses and I really like to know the faces behind the businesses, and these are some of the most wonderful people on the planet. You'll be very happy with the food, the service, and the fact that your money is going to a local business staffed by wonderful people.
