Jay's Kitchen Thai Street Food — Restaurant in Chisago City

We had ordered from here numerous times. We have ordered the Chicken Pad Thai, beef and broccoli, cream cheese wontons and the mango sticky rice. All of the food has been wonderful. However if you are gluten free, take warning. The first time we ordered the guy was really nice and told me that the kitchen would take precautions if I let them know when I ordered. I always order the chicken Pad Thai because it’s naturally gluten free. I have always stated gluten free because they put a label on it for the kitchen, etc.

Today when we ordered we ordered off the lunch menu like usual, but to have for dinner. It’s cheaper. Same amount of food. We typically do this, it’s not anything new. While I was picking it up they kept joking "you don't have to say gluten free, pad Thai is naturally gluten free". I told them I say it in case there's anything they put in it or it comes with, etc that has wheat because it's an allergy and not a preference. I said anytime I order from there I always say it, and they mark it so there's no cross contamination. I open the containers to heat up the food. Egg roll. Right across the top. I called and guess what they said. "Oh but the pad Thai is gluten free just take the egg roll off". I said okay but here's the deal, and explain the whole thing to them. What'd they say? "Just take the egg roll off pad Thai still good". They did say I can come back for a refund, but at this point it’s besides the point. I can no longer eat there, which I guess is an ok thing since I know I can’t trust it or them now with allergy...

I cannot possibly express enough how amazing the quality of food and service is at Jay's Kitchen! The food in this neck of the woods is pretty basic - mostly bland American, very little diversity, where ketchup is considered spicy. Jay's is the real deal! SO much flavor, SO much freshness, and Thai level heat! We have only eaten in and the young gentlemen working the floor provide exceptional service. I love how helpful they are with teaching about Thai food. We've noticed last time we were in they had kleenex at all of the tables. 🤣 The spice is no joke!

Our absolute favorite dish is the Larb Nam Tok with grilled pork. 🤤🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌 The amount of fresh herbs and depths of flavor is out of this world! We have also enjoyed the red curry, pad thai, pad-see-ew, pad kra pao, several stir fries, and all the fried rice. All delicious and great portion sizes. Great to eat family style! Be sure to wash it down with a bubble tea - it's blended and is more like a fruity shake!

Jay's Kitchen, thank you for making Chisago City your home and thank you for the great...

4 Stars – Flavorful Date Night in Chisago 🌶️🍍

We went to Jay’s Kitchen Thai Street Food for a date night and couldn’t help but notice how many things on the menu our daughter would have loved too. The restaurant itself is humble and approachable, but the flavors bring you straight to Thailand.

As a vegetarian, I started with the tofu appetizer—crispy perfection—and then the pineapple fried rice. I ordered spice level 4 (out of 5), and the heat was just right. Next time, I’d go for the 5. The flavor was bold and balanced, though I’d skip the cashews since they added more crunch than needed.

My husband tried the boat noodle soup, which wasn’t really his favorite, but the fried dumplings won him over—crispy and delicious. I also treated myself to the frozen pineapple boba, which was fun but could have used a stronger pineapple punch.

Service was wonderful—friendly staff who kept things smooth—and overall, this is a great spot for a casual, flavorful night out. We’ll be back, and next time we might just bring our daughter along for...
