The new owners have GREATLY improved the food and the service. The portions are big, and the flavor is way better. Before, it was pretty bland and even at the hottest "Thai hot" flavor it was barely spicy. Now it can get pretty spicy depending on the spice level you choose. I highly recommend this place now that the new owners have improved it. Very impressed.
Great Thai restaurant in Marion, Indiana. The food is very fresh, authentic, and delicious. This is the green curry, the vegetables were cooked perfectly. We also got the crab Rangoon, but ate it too fast to get a picture. Great food.
This food was GREAT! My daughter is at IWU and had heard great things - we were not disappointed. Tom Kah was spot on, and the new Satay stir fry was exceptional - I could eat that every day. My daughter was thrilled with the fried rice and the spice levels were perfect. Thanks for the student discount too!
Great local place that hits the spot. Here at least once or twice a month and or for takeout they have gluten-free options as well.
I love this place! The staff is always so sweet, and food is always top notch! My fav dishes are the cashew stir fry (and I add ginger for a small upcharge which is SO WORTH IT!) and the crab rangoon! Their Rangoons are my favorite goons of all timmmmmmme. They are different than any other place I've had crab rangoon. I feel like a lot of places just make them mostly crispy wrapper and sometimes the filling is even dried out. Not Jay's! The way they fold it allows for way more creamy crabby goodness to be stuffed inside. The wrapper is soft and chewy except for the edge you get that crispy crunch! Just simply perfection. Thank you, Jay's Thai! My only wish is that you were open everyday, haha. I swear I crave you most on Monday's when you're closed! But I also 100% understand that small businesses need a dang day off! Lol. Ok, now I'm thinking about y'all, I think I'm gonna call in an order
Thai here is absolutely delicious. It's flavorful, it's right. But what puts this place in a category of it's own is how spicy they can make stuff. It just so happens to be that I love spicy food. The spicier the better, and in a typical Thai kitchen, nobody can make the food spicy enough. Ever. In fact, I started coming up with these challenges for the chefs. So when the waiter asks how spicy do I want it, I'd say something like: "tell the chef to make it as spicy as he can", or "hit me with all they got". At Jay's, when the waitress asked me how spicy do I want it, I said: "tell the chef that if he can't make me cry, I'm not paying for it." So I issued this challenge all over US and Canada, and nobody ever came close to me saying that it was spicy. Jay's Thai Food in Marion, Indiana did. I cried, I hiccuped, I sweated. I regretted giving the challenge. Tom Yum soup was absolutely delicious and it was the spiciest thing I ever ate. Well done.
I'm in town for a conference and the restaurant selection in Marion is limited, so I was happy to see a Thai option. I ordered the drunken noodles and a bowl of Tom Yum. Not the most authentic Thai food I've had, but both dishes were tasty, served piping hot, and the portions were HUGE. Service was a bit slow, but very friendly. Enjoyed my meal and experience overall.
