9 reviews for Jasmine Thai Restaurant
Their Spicy Fried Rice is so good. I was visiting Buffalo and as soon as I got home, I ordered fried rice from a Thai restaurant and it wasn't good at all.
Their Pad Thai was not good at all.
I know their curries aren't that great and that their tom yum isn't the best. I know that the atmosphere is a bit disappointing and sometimes service is slow. But the Siam Squid is still the absolute best Thai dish I have EVER eaten. I was just craving it right now, hence the yelp, but seriously, it is so good. No matter how many other Thai restaurants I try, nothing will ever compare to this dish.
It's not as bad as everyone says. I like it! Been here many times on many occasions. I suggest not having chicken though =x it's quite dry. Beef Bangkok pasta is my favorite dish. And I simply cannot resist fried calamari. Jasmine fried rice is good too! The older guy (I'm not sure if he's the owner) is really nice.
I came here for takeout after King & I wouldn't pick up on a Sunday night. The restaurant is actually pretty homey and feels like a good place to have a nice enjoyable meal w/ friends or family. Our Chicken Pad Thais (~$10 each) came in a clear plastic to-go container with this dry pepper seasoning. I usually steer away from these side seasonings b/c if it's made well, you shouldn't need all that extra fluff but the Pad Thai was a little bland w/o it and the seasoning was actually pretty mild which is good. Overall, my biggest complaint about my dish was that it was dry. Everything from the chicken to the noodles to the minuscule pieces egg and tofu were dry and I had to wonder if it would've been any different had we dined in and had our food served when as it was ready. But after seeing another customer complain about the same problem, I'd have to think that this is standard here. All in all though, it wasn't so bad that I wouldn't come here again.
Mediocre Thai food on the main drag in Buffalo.
My expectations weren't very high, and they weren't disappointed on two trips here. Which is to say I'd prefer not to have to eat here again if possible.
Bland food, even when you ask for it hot. The fantastic chicken, apparently, was not, but they did accomodate my dining partner's weird requests for a totally off-menu item and he was satisfied. He is, however, a sort of human garbage can, and his recommendations cannot be trusted..
They charged for soda refills, which raised my hackles.
Please people, don't hate me for the 2 stars.
Barry got there before me and had some Tom Yum. I flew through the doors and was freezing, so I got the Coconut hot & sour soup. Chicken in said soup was wierd..sort of dry and had an odd flavor. The Broth was the same as usual, very good.
This has always been one of our favorite restaurants to dine at, but today Barry and I met up for lunch, and it was not as good as it has been at previous meals. :(
The sampler platter that we always order has plummeted from being super yummy and fun to blah. They have replaced the tempura shrimp with tempura vegetables (we've already known this from the last time we visited, but I didn't know about Yelp! then...) WHO wants to eat a half cooked battered and deep fried carrot medallion? The tempura veggies were loaded on the platter. The pork dumplings are half the original size and you only get 2 now. Same for the spring roll. The FRESH Spring roll hasn't changed, still monster sized, BUTTT, they added chicken strips to it. Hehhhhh...me no likey that chicken. We picked thru the rice wrap and just ate the halved shrimps -dipping them into the various sauces. (Those things are enormous and kill your appetite. ) The flavors of the spring roll and dumplings were still delicious, as were the 3 sauces, but they cheaped out. We'd rather pay 2 bucks or whatever
more for the original version.
We then ordered the Panang chicken to share.
Again, the chicken, blehhhkk.... The peanut/coconut sauce was great, lots of cilantro and green onions, but I couldn't eat it 'cause of the "chicken." Maybe if I had some rice with the dish (I'm trying to be good) I could have drenched it in the sauce, and would have been satisfied.
I hate to write this. The place is special to us and we love Boi/Boy? the host. Hopefully they will see the picked apart tempura and the huge amount that was left over on our plates and go back to the drawing board.
I don't exactly remember what I ate, so it wasn't an especially memorable experience. The food tasted OK, but don't expect authentic Thai food. They use chile powder in everything when really, they should be using real chiles (you know, the skinny chiles).
In Buffalo, I've started to just not expect authentic Asian food. It's weird, because I see Asian owners, but the food just doesn't taste like what I expect. Instead, I just try to accept the Buffalo Asian cuisine as not Asian food, but just a different type of food all in itself.
I like it here, but I like Saigon/Bangkok a bit more. I usually get the jasmine fried rice here...I like that more than its pad thai. The thai ice tea is good here. But the jasmine fried rice was the only thing memorable for me. The pad thai chicken was a bit dry.
Great food, great atmosphere, great service! Whenever I crave thai food, I go here. You won't be disappointed!
I recommend the red curry duck and the tom yum soup. Mmmmmm....
