Jai Thai is a little lantern glowing in the Arizona desert, a reminder that the best journeys sometimes happen without a passport. The chicken satay arrived like a humble offering, smoky from the grill and impossibly tender, and a touch of citrus, but the true revelation was that peanut sauce. I would gladly order ten extra cups and call it dinner. Some sauces accompany a meal; this one deserves its own standing ovation. The ambiance is also a cool costal vibe. I have also previously ordered the green milk tea with boba, it also has a coconut milk option and it's a gift to those of us who are dairy free. I also have to mention the mango sticky rice. Sweet, delicate, and made with the kind of care that reminds you food can be an act of love. The quality at Jai Thai is top notch. Every visit leaves me feeling grateful that places like this exist.

Jai Thai - Chicken satay - Seafood Near Me - Sun City, Arizona

Was in the area around lunchtime and wanted to grab food. Saw this place around and decided to put in an online order. I found a parking spot right out front and entered the large restaurant. One of the servers helped me with my pickup order, which was quick and easy. Food was packed well. I got the veggie rolls appetizer and pad see ew entree with tofu, spice level hot. I saw that they had lunch specials but since I wasn't dining in, takeout was the way to go. The rolls were good and at a fair price of $6.99 for 4, plus sweet & sour sauce. My noodle dish was good: the spice level was actually spicy *and* there was still thai hot and double thai hot levels above it. Everything tasted great and I'd order again from here when I'm in the area. read more

Our second time here and the service and food are impeccable and the atmosphere is Awesome! We all enjoyed our food and conversation. They also have a rewards program through - TOAST Really a fun time and can't wait to come back again. Thank you once again Jai Thai read more

I ordered curbside, so I can't speak to the inside ambiance. However the service was to notch, and the food (Chicken Satay, Dumplings, and Massaman Curry with Chicken) was super tasty. This place is close so I will for sure be back. read more

We've come back for dinner and a late lunch twice in the past two weeks. We were just craving some good Thai from this place. The service is as pleasant as ever, and the sitting area is large and clean with plenty of booths and tables to choose from. On our first trip in, we ordered to-go food for Hubs, to take home for his dinner. Our server, who I believe is also the owner, took down the order accurately and made sure to start the order 15 minutes before we were going to leave, and had to go order ready right when we were paying our bill. That is some excellent timing. read more

I wandered here on Christmas Day. Thought I'd try a new place for Thai food. Not sure why since I'm a Thai food snob but I'm looking for another good Thai Restaurant worthy enough to bring my mom. So far there's only been one and sadly due to COVID it had to close down. I'm still sad about it. Anyway, I drove over from Avondale to give this place a try and it's good. Not bring my Thai mom good or drive out of my way again but if I was in the area and wanted Thai food I'd pop back in. It's bigger than it looks from the outside, bright ambiance and clean. The server that greeted me and took my order was really nice and friendly. I ordered the grilled pork with sticky rice and did not like the pork flavor at all. The marinade was not for me. I enjoyed the sticky rice though. I got the beef salad and it was good. I got medium spicy and didn't really taste any spice. The salad was good a little sweet though but I forgot to say no sugar. I think had I done that and it was spicier I would've liked it better. I always choose medium spicy because you never know how spicy it will be. Each restaurant's spice level is different. Sometimes the medium is like a hot and the hot like Thai hot. The drunken noodles were delicious but it was a little oily and lacking in the use of Thai basil and it could be spicier but I chose medium spicy again and didn't find it spicy at all. So if you like spicy try hot or Thai hot. The medium spicy seemed mild to me. Overall it was good and if you're in the area it's worth a try. I'm Thai and grew up on homemade Thai food and can make Thai food so I'm a little more critical when it comes to Thai food. read more

This is a delightful Thai restaurant tight off Bell road that seems like very few know about. I found a dish that I haven't found since years ago in downtown Chicago. The soup, the eggrolls, and the basil beef was just incredible. Service is great. They're very considerate and check back nicely. It's a big place and the ambience is very nice. read more

Plenty of self parking in the strip mall lot. Cute, colorfully decorated restaurant, plenty of room , clean, tables available. Prompt service, friendly staff. Wine, beer, and beverages available. Food was good, made with fresh ingredients. I enjoyed the pad Thai with tofu. Other diners in our party enjoyed spicy eggplant stir fry, orange chicken. All selections were good! Prices reasonable. A nice dining experience! read more

Stopped by at lunch and grabbed a carry-out order of the Cashew Chicken. Very good. Some of the chicken was a little leathery, but the veg were cooked well, and the sauce was outstanding. I got the lunch special which comes with a little baby egg roll. It was okay, but I'm not a big fan of Thai egg rolls, so ymmv. read more

A bright and cheerful interior welcomes you to Jai Thai. I wasn't expecting such a large place. I was seated at a window booth. There were only two other tables on a Saturday lunchtime. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't get lunch but had to order off the regular menu. I chose the Panang curry with chicken. I wanted to try something different! Typically I don't go for many curries because they're overly sweet, and unfortunately, this was the case this time. I ordered medium spice level, but it was only subtly-spiced. This curry came in a large bowl (served with a small side of jasmine rice - again, a very small serving for the dinner menu!) and had the consistency of broth, which I wasn't expecting. The chicken was cut very thinly and was dry and chewy. I slurped through and ate the chicken though because I was so hungry. I'm spoiled because I've learned the wonders of velveting proteins when stir frying and so I was disappointed that the chicken was so tough. I may return during the week when they offer lunch specials. Based on other reviews, people certainly have their favorites that bring them in here. I think it's a welcome addition to this area and I wonder if they saw more traffic their consistency might improve. If you like Thai food, I encourage you to come and try them out - you might find a favorite dish that will keep bringing you back! read more

Beware: The "boba" is more like grass-jelly than the round balls. And at $9.50, its sometime we'll not order again here. However, I think their pad-see-ew is fantastic! The chicken in it was so tender and moist. And at a lunch deal price point of $13.99, it's affordable. The soup that came with was noticable salty, but the egg roll was nice and crispy. 90% of the dining rooms were empty at 1pm on a Friday, which is a travesty. This place deserves more business.

I was impressed with everything at this location. From the outside, I didn't even realize it was going to be this big and so well decorated, so I was astonished. There's plenty of room to host at least 70-100 customers, plus a separate section if you want to host your own party or a seminar. As usual, I tried my go-to Drunken Noodles to judge the place, and it was definitely worth it. The staff lady was very nice and answered all my questions. Would definitely come back here again. read more

Stephanie was our server. She did an amazing job. She was quite attentive, answered all our questions gave us space when we needed it and we never had to ask for anything that we shouldn't have had at any time. I can't speak to the ambience of the place, it's of no concern to me. All I care about is good service and good food. The food was exceptional my wife and I both like it very spicy. I asked for double Thai hot. That's exactly what I got. Most places don't understand what you mean by spicy. This place actually understands what you're asking for and will give you whatever you want. I love this place and will definitely be going back. read more

Dined in with my children and good friend. Service was excellent, our server was very kind and attentive. She checked on us often and made sure everything was going well for us. Food was delicious and fulfilling! Papaya salad was very refreshing and each bite had a good crunch, we requested Thai hot. It was definitely spicy and flavorful. They provided a good amount of salad too. Pad Thai was seasoned to perfection, truly authentic. We ordered a shrimp and tofu pad Thai and it had a generous amount of shrimp and tofu! The noodles were cooked to perfection, not sticky and mushy. It soaked up all the wonderful sauce and maintained its texture . Sauce to noodle ratio was on point. Bean sprouts were crunchy and fresh. Chicken wings with the tamarind chili sauce was bursting with flavors , chicken wings were very crispy. Yellow curry was rich and savory, potatoes cooked just right. Both pad Thai and chicken curry were medium heat and I loved it but my friend admitted it was spicier than medium. The server warned us before hand, great customer service. Tom Kha was very good. No complaints at all with their dishes. I recommend this place. The only negative experience I have to share would be the fact they put so much ice on the iced Thai tea and the cup is a standard 8-10oz water goblet glass cup with a short stem. They put soooo sooo much ice that you're probably only drinking 4oz max. When I asked if they always put that much ice , the server said yes and said sorry. I've been to several Thai restaurants in the valley ; west, central and east valley . All of them serve their Thai tea in a larger glass cup with a good amount of Thai tea . So I will point out that $6 iced Thai tea is a total waste of money; not worth it. You're better off going to sumo snow or a boba shop that serves more Thai tea and less ice. For dessert we had mango sticky rice. It was okay. Definitely had way better mango sticky rice. The coconut sauce had a tad too much salt. I can understand the rice having a little bit of salt and sweet but not the coconut cream sauce . They could've added more sauce because the rice soaked up the sauce by the time we received it . Sticky rice was really delicious and had a great texture. But the regular sticky rice you can order with your meal could have been steamed longer or more water added. It wasn't as sticky like how sticky rice should be served, my kid ate it with the Tom Kha. The restaurant is very spacious but the colors of the seats and booths are not the prettiest . Too yellow, very bright and it felt like going into a children's play place because of the bright yellow booths and choice of lighting. But the food makes up for the interesting colors. Fish aquarium is so pretty, makes the place look nicer. read more

I have been all about drunken noodles lately and was working in the area so I stopped here for takeout for an early dinner. I ordered online and my order was ready pretty quickly! The restaurant was pretty empty when I arrived! Just one couple dining in. It didn't look like a typical Thai restaurant, it had a nautical type theme going on, and spa-like music playing. And it was set up a little off like bathrooms and a desk when you walk in but there's not like a hostess there you have to keep walking to get to where the seats and bar is and stuff. I got drunken noodles with tofu and added some extra tofu too, the portion was nice and big! I did wish there were some more veggies, a bit less sauce, and a bit more flavorful. I got mine medium and it seemed like true medium spice! Overall it was good though and I hope they get some more business. read more

We ordered food from them that was very unsatisfactory. Spring rolls with Tofu, no Tofu. Yellow curry with Tofu, no Tofu. Tom Ka soup that was sent in the smallest container with NO Tofu. I called the restaurant to see what our options were, the person I spoke to asked me if she could call me back in 30 minutes that they had gotten busy. I was patient and said sure. AN HOUR LATER I CALLED THEM BACK FIR THEM TO TELL ME CONTACT DOOR DASH. NO RESOLUTION, NO OFFER TO REMAKE OUR FOOD. So we get a order of garbage for $78 dollars. I would not recommend ordering from them, we've tried other places and shame on us for trying something new. read more

This one-time Thai food place, turned Cajun and back again to Thai is really good. You would not expect to find a spot this good in Sun City, but you will not be disappointed. The ambiance is a bit stark and brightly colored from the Cajun food era, but ignore that as the food is fresh, tasty and served quickly. I had Pad See Ew and asked for "medium" spicy. It had a nice kick without me dying. You can order it hotter. The service was fast, and at about $12 per order, including spring rolls and a really tasty chicken soup, it was fantastic. read more

Conveniently located near my home, a friend and I went here for lunch yesterday. Stephanie was our wait person and was efficient and personable. We ordered the fresh rolls with shrimp as an appetizer, which were delicious. My friend ordered the red curry with chicken and I had the Massamam curry with chicken/medium heat and it was perfect for my taste. Saved room for the wonderful mango sticky rice dessert....super yummy! We will be back! read more

We went there years ago but decided to give it another try today. The place has gone through a great change since we were there last so much more cheerful. Service was quick and waitress was wonderful. We bought the combination appetizers and enjoyed it with the two sauces. I had the Tom Ka fried rice with chicken medium heat and Panang Curry also medium heat. I really enjoyed both dishes but the Panang Curry was my favorite. We will be going back in the future. read more

The atmosphere, service, and food were all excellent. Felt welcomed and treated very well. Would definitely recommend them.

When you first walk in the restaurant you smell the beautiful aromas of Thai food. The restaurant is clean and perfect atmosphere of Thai culture. The waitress greeted us with a smile and was well versed in the menu. I have a gluten allergy and she was able to direct me to the foods on the menu I could eat. Once the food came out we understood why the restaurant is highly rated! I had the seafood Pad Thai with medium heat. The dish had many depths of flavor and texture! This was the best Pad Thai I have ever had in my life! My wife had red curry with seafood! Her remarks were flavorful and the best she has ever had! The experience was excellent since we were taken back to Bangkok with recipes the cook experienced when she was a child! This is a must try Thai restaurant! read more
