Jasmine Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Santa Clara

On taste/flavor: Not authentic thai, but I guess it's okay for the tourists and those who are trying new flavors. But for those of you who have been to Thailand or Thaitown in L.A. You may be disappointed. Note the other reviews.

On service: I'm ashamed for my cultural heritage! I was first so happy to had found a Thai Restaurant ran by Thai people. My 1st. visit was on Friday July 30th. I picked up an order to go after work. Which was such a pleasant experience, I even gave a $5 tip for a $17 Basil Beef Fried Rice! I decided to return for a dine in experience on Sunday July 1st. and try the Beef Noodle Soup plus order a Green Curry Beef, and Fried Fish Cakes to go (still excited about my 1st. visit). Upon my arrival, the waitress gave me a head gesture which conveyed a "what do you want?" in what would be considered RUDE to any average customer manner. No, not "hello" or "welcome"...but a "head gesture in ganster-style"! Still remembering my 1st. impression from Friday, I chose to sit down and waited for my Noodle Soup. This Soup is traditionally served with condiments sauces...which the waitress sharply said "we don't have it". So, I asked for at least some hot sauce so I can proceed to taste what I consider to be a basic & common dish that would give me a clear indication of their flavor-authenticity of Thai's food. While eating the soup, I heard a spoon or some silverware dropped to the floor. As I looked toward the sound, I saw the waitress picking up the dropped item and placed it back on the serving tray that she was bringing out to another customer! A few minutes later, another customer requested additional bottle of bear and said thank you to the waitress...who replied with "okay". I am originally from Thailand, which I'm proud to know that the country is known as "The Land of the Smiles". Courteous and polite are normal traits that's ingrained and obvious among most Thais that I've crossed path with, even in other countries. In closing this review, I would not recommend this Thai restaurant to anyone unless they're familiar with the typical "French-restaurant-atmesphere". But as a Thai-Born U.S. Grown...

For all you saying it’s “too sweet” obviously haven’t had authentic Thai cuisine made by people that know what they’re doing. You also have to realize that Thailand is a huge country in Asia and it has different regions with different flavors. They have plenty of flavor at this restaurant and you have to point out the one thing that makes it extremely authentic? Haha! Uncultured. How about we write real reviews and not badmouth Bay Area staples like this gem we have here. Their food is DELICIOUS and the only Thai food that I ever feel is worth spending the extra $15 to order from DoorDash. This place rules and they deserve five stars. Believe me guys, you won’t be disappointed. If you don’t like spice, you can have them tone the heat down. They’re super cool and the lady working right now actually cares about her customers even in a pandemic where everybody’s depressed. She had a smile on her face. Okay, review...

Today was my second time having lunch here. The first time, I tried a few dishes that were decent—seemingly authentic, though nothing that stood out. This time, I explored a few different items with a colleague and again, they were fair but doesn't quite match up to what you’d find at some of the more well-known Thai spots in the Bay Area.

The location is convenient if you’re around Santa University, and it’s spacious enough for groups. One of the biggest perks is that there’s usually no wait during lunchtime, which makes it ideal if you’re on a break or in a rush.

The service is friendly and efficient. The vibe is casual, with decor that gives it an authentically Thai look. There’s a parking lot nearby, and street parking is usually easy to find.

Overall, it’s not a destination Thai spot—but if you’re in the area and want something quick, affordable, and decent, it gets...
