What People Are Saying About Jai Thai

In Short – With its red walls, ornate decorations and dependable menu items, this Fremont Thai restaurant draws a steady crowd of neighborhood regulars to its bar and dining area. Homemade noodles elevate the otherwise standard pad thai and take center stage in the savory drunken noodles. Spicy, comforting tom yum soup is chock-full of vegetables, meat and tangy lemongrass.

Editor's Tips

Parking:
Forget the Fremont search and park at one of the inexpensive pay lots located within a few blocks of the restaurant.
Where to Sit:
Request the big table near the window, where diners take their shoes off and sit on pillows.
When to Go:
The kitchen is open until 1am on weekends, making it a popular spot for Fremont scenesters after they hit the bars.

Quick Lunch

by GeeSara at Citysearch

Jai Thai has become my favorite go-to Thai Place in the Fremont area to meet with my friend for a quick lunch. The service is wonderful and the staff is very friendly. Just minutes after we sit down we receive a cup of soup that is perfect on those rainy days. I always order their Pad Thai while my friend orders the lunch combo. We are in and out in a flash, yet don't ever feel rushed. The ambience is very comfortable and cozy. When people ask me about my favorite Thai place in Fremont, Jai Thia is that one on top of my mind!

Excellent place to Pre-funk in Fremont!

by Dayna J Reid , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

Jai Thai's Fremont Ave location and cocktail party atmosphere on a Friday night, make this an excellent place to meet up for drinks and/or dinner before taking in a live show at one of the many music venues in the Fremont area.

I had the Garlic Prawns, which was deliciously combined with carrots, mushrooms, cabbage and broccoli in a divine garlic and pepper sauce.

The only real drawback to this place is that if your party is larger than 6 people, you will have to sit at different tables. Other than that, I highly recommend this restaurant!

  • Pros: Awesome Food, Great atmosphere
  • Cons: Can't really accomodate large groups for dinner

Blandest Thai Food In the City

by seattlefoodlover at Citysearch

Disappointed......we ordered several dishes and they were all bland. We ordered our food with 3 stars and it was still incredibly tasteless. If you are a thai food lover and like the rich distinctive flavors normally found in your favorite dishes save your money and try another thai restaurant. The city has lots of good ones. Unfortunately Jai Thai is not one of them!

  • Cons: Parking, service

I will be back! Great owner, fun atmosphere, reasonable food, very Fremont

by nouveaubamboo at Citysearch

Ok, they have undergone changes and I hope reviewers realize we can all have a bad day. Still packed with locals and the new owner who used to be the waiter and is now an accountant is a sweetheart. I asked for a few off the menu items and got them. Food was fast, water was ok and the service was very Asian...........

It is a great place to meet friends and sit comfortably. The food is good, a bit Americanized for the crowd but still tasty and fresh. I go there, I like it and have never had a bad meal. I love their currys and I know that they will readjust to taste-I brought someone who doesn't know Thai style and wanted their curry different. It was cheerfully adjusted and everyone left happy.

This is a happy place, big and airy and maybe could use a tweak here or there but generally it is warm and inviting, portions are generous-the lunch combos are great. The location could not be more perfect-in the heart of the heart of Fremont.

  • Pros: Warm invitiing space to meet with friends and easily accomodate large groups

I won't be back

by newtofremont at Citysearch

The uncooked potatoes in the veggie curry dish was bad enough, but to extract a hair from a spoonful I was chewing is more than I can handle. At least they didn't make me pay, but I'll never go back. P.S. - Aren't cooks supposed to wear hair nets? Theirs weren't.

  • Pros: Prices
  • Cons: Strand of hair in food
