Jasmine Rice Thai-Chinese & Vegetarian — Restaurant in Henderson

I’ve got to admit, I wasn’t expecting the place to be so fantastic. I just knew it was a new Thai place I’d been meaning to check out. Walking in, I was amazed at how much atmosphere the place had. The decor is very stylish but cozy. I heard they had live music and was initially apprehensive about it but the musician was great! Lots of soft versions of classics. He was very talented and the sound was never overpowering.

The food was equally great. Everything definitely seemed like it had fresh ingredients and the chef/cooks apparently know what they’re doing. All the way down to the slices of lemon and orange added as accoutrements—it all seemed fresh and not skimped on. I’ve never had such tender and well cooked chicken at a Thai spot. I was actually very surprised. Even the lemonade was extra tasty. The plates also came out with great decorations that were fun and impressive. They even served things as proper courses instead on bringing out everything at once.

The only thing that may have been a detraction was the size and forwardness of the stage as compared to the rest of the restaurant. However, that’s the only negative I can think of.

I kept thinking about how this place was an experience and the sort of spot you’d see somewhere nice on The Strip. By that I mean it had the whole package—atmosphere, great food, great service and a little entertainment. It’s a great date night...

Excellent experience all the way around! We were a big group so we were worried about seating, but they sorted us out quickly and politely, and we hear they're moving to a bigger location soon. Live music kept a mellow but positive mood. The musician even serenaded a Birthday Girl in a delightful rendition of the classic song. As for decor, they had clever little tinsel designs for Christmas which was delightful.

Most importantly, the food was spectacular. I saw the pictures when I was looking for Chinese food in the area and I can confirm, it does taste as good as it looks. It's more of a Thai food place with lots of coconut options, but they also have some dressed up versions of the classic dishes. My picky little sister loved the orange chicken. The egg drop soup was a little too robust for her, more vegetables than she's used to, but the rest of my family appreciated it on such a cold night. We thought we weren't too hungry... and cleared every plate including a lot of the garnishes.

The servers were very friendly and helpful, especially asking about the Mango Sticky Rice in advance so it would be ready for us. This was the prettiest dish of them all and the perfect little dessert after everything. After having eaten here, I finally feel like a local, with the perfect place to brag about when people ask for...

This was my first visit and will be my last. The restaurant was very "friendly", but the service and food were a disaster. There was a delay in getting the service, but that mostly was because there was only one server. We ordered and that is when the dining experience fell apart. The others in our group received their food, but I sat there for over 20 minutes with nothing to eat. During that time, a server brought a bowl of soup, which I did not order. Still no food. One in our group received an appetizer that didn't represent what they thought they ordered. Another pointed out to the server that the food that was delivered did not match what was described on the menu. Finally, my food arrived after a long delay, but the quality was poor. Supposedly it was crispy chicken teriyaki, but in reality, it was very small pieces of chicken wrapped in a large amount of dough soaked in the teriyaki sauce. Since my food arrived as the group was finishing theirs, a had a few pieces of chicken and asked for a take-out box. Others in the group that sampled the chicken and commented about the lack of chicken in ball of dough. Next came the confusion over the bill. When I got home, I had the pleasure of dumping the dinner in the garbage and having a bowl of cereal...
