    N1. Pad Thai was not good
    Maggie H.

    Mediocre food. Service is terrible. Decor is a letdown. The server with braces seems inept at best. He couldn't seem to figure out the three tables in the restaurant. One guy got up to request sriracha, another table had to flag him down to pay. We had to flag him down just to order. Won't be back.

    L3. Pad See Ewe Lunch and L7. Green Curry Fried Rice Lunch
    Carrie M.

    I have heard great things about Jaiwai from my friends who frequent the area. This was a great spot to meet up with a friend and catch up over lunch. The lunch prices were good! $2 off their regular price for our dishes. I got the pad see ewe with pork, which I really enjoyed. The only downside was that the vegetables were very undercooked. The carrots and especially the broccoli were hard and tasted half raw. My friend got the green curry fried rice and said it was spicy and really good too. The service was fast, and I appreciate how our server told us to take our time after we paid. The parking spots in front of the restaurant were full, but I found nearby free street parking. They could definitely add some decor to liven up the atmosphere.

    I have been coming here since I was a student at Southwestern! I really love the flavor of the dishes as well as the generous portion sizes. I'm glad to see they're doing well - they recently added booths, expanding the seating inside. Jaiwai is an essential when visiting Georgetown and adds variety to the square!

    A gem of a spot for Thai food in Georgetown, TX. The place looks slightly uninviting from the outside but it's all about what comes from the inside, right? Their 5/5 spicy level isn't that spicy if you tend to eat spicy food often. Jaiwai serves up what we believe is the best pad see ew in the Austin area. We havent found another dish on their menu that we absolutely have to get each time like the see ew but we're working through the menu. The service was good too, I've always liked the staff here.

Young kids doing hard work on a friday evening instead of partying. And they did a great job!!! Second, the food: We had the soup dumplings, the won ton in the chili sauce, the minced pork noodle and the stir fry noodles with beef. The food was amazing, could be a little bit more spicy though, but they have some hot sauces and chili oil to turn it up a notch. The noodles were perfectly cooked, not to soft and not al dente. Prices are good, portions are plenty. Also, they have these super delicious garlicky cucumbers in a savory sauce/dressing at the self serve section. I should have taken more of those. It's a neat little place, they also have these cute little booths outside. I already know what i will try next time we go there. This place is up my (noodle) alley!

    TLDR: SO much potential…read more From the pictures online, Noodle Alley looked legit! Simple seating, bamboo plants, simple wood furniture, red lanterns and a shrine-- it gives traditional without even trying. You can order either at the counter or directly at your table via QR code. I'd recommend ordering at the counter, since it seems like table orders take longer to get moving. If your body runs warm, their central AC isn't running and for the most part, I found myself too hot to even want to order noodles with broth. Instead, I opted for the Cold Sesame noodles, which surprisingly wasn't bad! NOTE: the picture overhypes the dish and the actual result/taste look nothing like it. It absolutely needed more dimension other than the cucumbers, lettuce, and carrots-- fried garlic, lime, peanuts, scallions, ANYTHING. The chicken was tender (THANK GOODNESS), but should have been more shredded. Small menu items: *The Taiwanese Popcorn: another one-dimensional item that could have been so much better. It needed more spices and BASIL! *Soup Dumplings: Came out deflated with not enough soup, but the good news: the dumpling wrapper was tender and the pork filling wasn't too bad. *Shrimp & Pork Wontons in Chili Sauce: needs more acidity, I added a few drops of vinegar and it made the dish perfect Self-Service: In addition to being able to order at your table, Noodle Alley has a self-service bar where they serve oranges (essential to end all Chinese meals) and cucumber salad. Though there seems to be some praise for the cucumber salad, we found it to be too soggy meaning it's been sitting for some time.

The restaurant is located between the…read morenorthbound I-35 service road and Mays St. just south of Old Settler's Blvd. There's plenty of nearby parking on 2 sides of the restaurant's corner location. Ramen Tatsu-ya is a local chain where ordering and payment are done as you enter and food is brought to your table. The atmosphere is clean and spare, but you're not likely to linger in the hard, flat wood seats, many of which are backless. Obviously, the main attraction is Ramen, and theirs is excellent. I've found the full size bowls (which currently start at $13.50) to be too much food for lunch. Today I ordered a chashu rice bowl, which worked out just right given my daughter and I shared a portion of edamame. I also tried their Kagoshima Sakura sweet tea. While it was good, I thought the tea was a bit weak and it was hard to justify the price. Even with its limited menu and less than comfortable seating, this is a place I could eat at several times a week and still enjoy the experience.

We've had…read morePho in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and of course there is nothing like the real thing in Vietnam. The place is relatively small, with about 12 tables. When we got there, we opted for a table along the wall. There was only one other table occupied, so I was happy that it was likely service would be good and fast (which it was). We were seated and provided menus to review and our server brought waters for us right away. The selections on the menu are wide and varied. Not only do they serve Pho and vermicelli dishes. but they also have a variety of fried rice, Chinese dishes (think orange chicken, sesame chicken, etc.). There is a small menu for kids as well. No beer or wine options, so we stuck with the water. We ordered some roast pork spring rolls, my wife ordered the Pho Tai Chin (rare eye round, steak and brisket) and I opted for the Pho Bo Vien (meatball). The spring rolls arrived quickly and were served with a cold peanut sauce. The sauce was not as thick as I've had at other restaurants, but it had decent flavor. The spring rolls were large and stuffed with noodles, lettuce, and roast pork pieces. The pork could have been sliced thinner, and it made for some extra chewing. I suspect they just use the roast pork from the grilled pork vermicelli. Our Pho arrived in large bowls along with a generous condiment plate of cilantro, sliced jalapeños, Thai basil, limes and beansprouts. There was chili crunch, soy sauce, Hoisin sauce, and Siracha available on the table as well. I tasted the broth before doctoring it and was a bit disappointed in the lack of real Pho broth flavor. I do make my own using a recipe I got while in Vietnam, and this was nowhere close to what I've made or have been served elsewhere in the past. It was weak, none of the cinnamon or star anise flavors, and I had to load it up with salt, white pepper, a generous amount of chili crunch, and even a bit of Siracha sauce. While it still didn't bring any of the true Pho broth flavor, it did make it more tasty. The bowl had chunks of meatballs, plenty of rice noodles, onion, and once I loaded up on the cilantro, basil, jalapeños, beansprouts and lime, I was ready to dig in. My wife agreed that the broth left a lot to be desired, and she didn't finish hers. She used the Hoisin to dip the meat into as it had little flavor otherwise. I ate most all of my bowl contents, but left most all of the broth (which I usually finish if it is good). Overall the experience was good. The service was great, the prices are comparable to most Pho places these days (I remember when I could get a bowl for $9.00 not too long ago instead of the $16 these days). Will we be back? Probably, but not for the Pho or any of the Chinese and Thai options on the back of the menu. I'd like to give their vermicelli a try. One recommendation: have an option for a smaller Pho serving size. I mentioned it to the server and he indicated that young people like the large servings... OK but what about us older folks that don't eat near the amount we used to. Atmosphere: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Food: 7/10 Value: 8/10
