So, I LOVE Thai food. We travel quite a bit and eat Thai and Indian food 2-3x per month. If we are going out to eat, it’s usually to one of those restaurants. Tonight, My daughter had just been released from the hospital and wanted Thai and sushi. This place was right around the corner. I usually decide where to go by reviews, menu and pics. This place looked good all around.
I ALWAYS get the Pad Kea Mau (drunken noodles) fresh spring rolls and chicken satay. The chicken satay didn’t have much flavor but was tender. I was upset it didn’t come with a sauce or cucumber salad even though we ordered it with the Pu Pu tray. The fresh spring rolls tasted old, my daughter who also loves them was quite confused as to the ingredients in them. It wasn’t authentic or what we have come to love. The same with the crab Rangoon which had so much pepper in them you couldn’t taste any other ingredient. The dumplings were good, but nothing special.
The drunken noodles were fragrant, but the noodle was wrong. It’s usually served with a flat noodle. This was a thick udon noodle. And the chicken tasted boiled. I actually spit out the first bite and sent it back. My husband got fried rice that wasn’t really fried just greasy. The Mexicali sushi was good, we did not like the Hawaiian roll or the volcano roll.
All in all the food wasn’t good when compared to many other Thai restaurants. The waitress was super sweet and we really wanted to like it, but all in all the food was not what we were expecting when we go...
Read moreBy far the best Thai in St. Charles county! I've tried them all and most are similar to Chinese food, more oily and sweet, and just not true traditional Thai food with flavorful broth-y sauces. The sushi is delicious too! I've had various fried rice, entrees, meats, appetizers, and noodle meals and all are so flavorful and delicious. I think their flavors and quality compare to The King and I, my favorite, but too far away to go on the regular. The owners are so sweet and remember us when we come to get our order, they even remember our go-to dishes and comment when we go for something different wanting to hear how we like it. They will make modifications to your dish upon request. We usually take-out but we've eaten inside too and it's super clean inside. I'm not sure if they re-opened their dining room after Covid, just FYI. My faves are the Pad Kee mau (spicy noodle entree), Pad spicy basil, pot stickers, spring rolls, spicy basil friend rice, smoked meats (all their meat is perfectly cooked and never dry), and the curry is delicious from what my friends say (not a curry lover myself). Try it for authentic Thai in St. Charles, no place else has it down like Thai Jasmin, and they're family owned...
Read moreGreat food, and reasonable prices, a small friendly place. Not fancy, but clean, good selection of Thai food. They don't use msg. Service was fast. They offer levels of spicy or hot from none, mild medium, hot, and very hot. Medium has a nice tang to it, no discomfort, but some zing. The noodles are good. The green curry is super. The spring rolls are the best I have ever had. The beer selection is limited, but adequate. The Thai tea was very good, and a better choice to compliment the food, anyway. Hard to see from the road, sign is small. It's in a small strip center, with a Potbelly's, look for that sign...
