Jamjuree Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Seattle

Come here for the atmosphere. This place has tons of potential, but they are missing some important elements. You can tell a lot by ordering the tea! Ordered the Pad Gra Pow chicken with brown rice, Angel Asparagus, Calamari, Tom Ka soup, & Jasmine Tea. The tea came out in a nice ornate, albeit tiny iron pot really meant for a single serving. It also came warm & not really hot at all. And that really explains this place -- looks good, but nothing that stands out. Everything that came out would miss a little detail-- tea, was pretty but came out luke warm & bitter; Calamari came out crispy but it tasted like dry chicken nuggets; Pad Gra Pow, egg & brown rice was dry; Angel Asparagus, tasted great but the color was flat & the food luke warm. So the service had the same misses. The waitress was very sweet, remembered to remove the bell pepperd as asked but forgot that we asked for chopsticks. As the food came out without chopsticks, I ended up having to snag a to-go set on my own. They gave us cheap, clear plastic, dollar-store to-go container with a plain paper bag. Did they want us to tip AND work? "Missing the attention to detail" is my impression of this restaurant. Just check the menu & look for "say sauce" and "prok (*pork)" -- you won't be able to unsee it.

Midas 5-stars - for the atmosphere & kind service. Midas 3-stars - for the misses...

I wanted to love this place, as it's in the neighborhood, and I love Thai food. I have to say I was underwhelmed. It was just ok. We each ordered and appetizer and a main course. My appetizer arrives shortly later, with a promise that the other would be right out. What felt like it would be a wait of a couple minutes turned into about 20. The other appetizer actually arrived right after the entrees! On the plus side, the servers were very apologetic. Portion size here is larger than I am used to, so you definitely feel like you are getting your money's worth. But, my dining companion said his beef entree was bland, and he didn't seem too excited about the chicken appetizer either. My appetizer (fresh roll) was good - not spectacular, but very fresh. Just what I expect. The entree (chicken with spinach in a creamy lime sauce) was unusual - not my normal choice but I wanted to try something different. It had good flavor though the chicken seemed a tad overcooked, almost tough. I noticed the same with the chicken satay appetizer my friend had ordered. I'll definitely give them another try. It was clear with how busy they were on a Tuesday evening that this place has its fans. I'd like to be one too, just not...

The food has taken a downturn here. The service was awful. Our waitress hurried us to make our dinner selection literally tapping her foot and telling us "the kitchen very busy tonight" after ignoring us for the first 10 min. Our beverages had to be chased down after our first appetizer showed up. Our second appetizer came out with our entree. My dish tasted like an entire bottle of fish sauce had been added. It was horrid. When I managed to catch a member of the waitstaff he argued with me and told me I shouldn't be eating Thai curry if I couldn't handle fishiness. I insisted the dish go back. And I ordered something else. Well my dish came out and someone had decided to make a point and added an abundance of fresh you birds eye peppers to it making my so so 4star dish into a 6 star mouth blistering experience. I love heat so I was not phased. I guess I should be thankful it was extra spicy and not spit laden. The staff here is Petty and resentful and will ignore you if you don't appear to be a big tipper. I used to love this place. Now I wouldn't feed thier...
