Thai Jasmine — Restaurant in Lima

Changing review per a recent Facebook post as follows "So today for dinner at the fire house we ordered Thai Jasmine. There were 5 meals and an order of 5 egg rolls. We bring it back to the station and start eating our meals. I get into the box of egg rolls and find part of a bug. The bug was under the dipping sauce. (I think it's a roach). So of course we stop eating our meals. I take the box of egg rolls with the "bug" in it back to the restaurant. I walk in quietly with the box and talk to an employee. I show them the bug. He takes the box to the back and returns without the box. A lady from the back comes out and tells me "It's not a roach, I will fry you some new ones." I told her no thanks I just want my money back for our meals. She agrees to that and then returns to the back. Another customer comes up to me and asks was there something wrong with your meal. I smiled and said yes but they are taking care of it. He smiles and says ok. The lady from the back returns and says here is a list of your order. You need to bring back all of your food and then we will return your money. Now I'm standing there in uniform with a Medic unit right outside of the window. I tell her I really don't want to drive back to the fire house, package up 5 meals that were put on plates and then drive back just so you can make it right. We already had to return once because they forgot a meal the first time. So I have been there a total of 3 times already. She says "that's just our policy." So now I'm mad. I was trying not to cause a problem for Thai Jasmine. I understand things happen. Just make it right. Sometimes people just don't want to make it right. Instead I had to jump through hoops. So I turn to the gentleman that inquired about our meal. He was waiting patiently for his meal that he hadn't paid for yet. So I let him know we were returning our food because there was a bug in our box. That's when one of the employees got mad at me.

Sorry Hun I tried.

I just don't understand customer...

What a find! This incredible neighborhood restaurant is a throwback to what local eateries once were.

This is a long time family business and the pride in ownership is abundantly clear everywhere you look. The building is very charming, the interior is wonderfully decorated and outfitted. Restrooms are nice and clean.

The food is simply AWESOME. You have to try the Prawns Avocado. Unbelievable! The Spicy Thai Basil Fried Rice is also stellar.

I seriously doubt that anything on the menu, isn’t just spectacular. The food is truly that good! You will have to travel to Thailand to get comparable food.

This is not “cheap eats” nor is it “fast food”. Your food is prepared to order and takes time but what you get for what you pay is truly exceptional. The service was great!

When I go out, I want calm and peacefulness and the guests who come here, seem to value low noise and keep their conversations contained. It is wonderful that you are not plagued with the usual loud-mouthed obnoxious people who frequent the chain restaurants and do nothing but get drunk and loud.

To sum it up, this is just a wonderful family restaurant and a truly lovely experience. I really enjoy every single time I go here.

Truly “Highly Recommended!” You will not regret going here and I promise you, you will become “hooked” just like me.

Well Done Thai Jasmine!

Thank...

Where to begin..... I remember this restaurant from years ago, I always try to eat here when I am able and in town. “Best thai food ever” is what I told everyone. Haven’t been there in awhile due to covid and such so when I got the opportunity yesterday I was over the moon. I ordered my food ahead of time and showed up 30 mins later to get it, here’s where everything went downhill. The wait to even tell anyone that i had a pickup order was another 20 minutes, it was busy but the staff was semi absent, all mostly in the kitchen. When I did get my food and got home I opened my food and delightfully dug in. Much to my dismay the food tasted ALOT different then I remembered. The sauce for the spring rolls was completely different then before and not as good.... the noodles of my pad thai was the same noodles they used before for a different dish and was nothing like the loved pad thai I remembered (to the point I didn’t even finish it) and the rice noodle soup broth I couldn’t even bring myself to digest after one sip. It was horrible to say the least. Today with a very sad heart I am sitting on the toilet where I’ve been most the morning puking and pooping my guts out. I loved this restaurant for so many years but unfortunately after yesterday I will end my 16yr love of this restaurant (yes they have been around...
