Hidden gem...or should I say hidden Jen :-) ~Outstanding service, cuisine and pricing! This place may be relatively new but they know great Thai food and excellent customer service the old fashioned way. It's also a clean, cozy restaurant. Dishes were served fast, service was attentive and sweet. The stir fry was fresh with just the right crisp and yummy sauce. The crap fried rice has generous amounts of lump crab meat and no shell fragments. I've been to most of the other Thai restaurants in Hampton roads and I can say this one is tops. If you like Thai food you will not be disappointed here. I recommend!
So so good. Their red curry and basil fried rice is the best I ever had! The owners are super friendly and we do dine in and take out. Highly recommend!
I love when you get more than you expect. There are places that have all of the décor, the location, the atmosphere and some of those places I will never visit again. Not all have the funds like a Olive Garden or have some great location. However, they have heart, the passion and you can taste it. What great Panang Curry! It is just as good as local Thai restaurant near where I work. Pad Thai Noodle was just as awesome. I will return here again. My daughter loved the food. These are the restaurants I want to keep in business.
We stumbled upon this quaint little restaurant by chance, and we’re so glad we did. It is now one of our favorites! They have wonderful service and the food is delicious. Our favorite dishes are Fried Spring Rolls, Thai Fried Rice (with Vegetables or Chicken) and Green Curry with Chicken. It usually doesn’t take long to get our food, and yet it always tastes like they took their time preparing it.
This restaurant is nestled in a strip mall, and is quite unassuming from the outside. The inside reminds me of a bistro, complete with cafe curtains and a chalk wall listing the day’s specials. This restaurant is worth the drive to Virginia Beach!
Notable Mentions:
They do not have discounts.
Ordered the pad see ew with beef (hot spice level) and it was a 10 out of 10! The spice level was right on point, generous portion size, and the food was really fresh and delicious. If you like Thai food than this place is a must when you are in the VA Beach area. My order was to-go but the restaurant seemed very clean and the lady working was really friendly at the checkout counter.
A hidden gem, in a corner of a small strip of stores, among UPS, dollar store and a CBD store, is where you find Jen Thai Cuisine. Upon entering you can tell locals love this place. 3 tables were already occupied with folks enjoying their dinner. As my friend and I were seated, there were plenty more people coming in to pick up their carry out orders. The place is cozy, clean slightly needing more light although one can argue it’s dimly lit for the ambiance.
My friend ordered the eggplant and shrimp dish. I ordered the Pad Prik Sod which is fried tilapia fillet smothered in brown sauce with veggie cuts. I chose mild. The dish was visually appetizing, smelled wonderful. The slight disappointment was when the dish was tad too salty!
The service was wonderful, we were asked whether I want more of the hot green tea I got. My friend’s ice water was replenished each time.
Lunch yellow curry chicken heat level 3, 2nd visit! Wonderful people amazing experience every time! The food just keeps getting better!
WOW! Growing up on Thai food, this is the BEST Thai spot I've found here in years!!! Huge portions, enough to feed 4. Spring rolls were very fresh. Chicken skewers were very juicy. Fried rice was to perfection! Soft & fluffy, not dry. Pad Thai was delicious, so full of flavor! Everything was amazing! Even Mr. "I don't want Thai food" ate half my plate because it was so yummy! 1st time here, ordered delivery. So impressed, we're going to try again in person. I really recommend it here.
I’ve been coming here for years and typically get food a few times a month. They are very affordable and the service is always good, especially the server Gift. She makes people feel welcome. The food is delicious and made fast. No complaints. I highly recommend Cashew Nut Udon for a delicious dish that you cannot find at any other Thai restaurant.
Stopped in before heading to a concert, and was not disappointed. Some of best Thai food I've had in the area (Hampton Roads, so a pretty large region) and I will most certainly be headed that way again. Portions were enough for two, with attentive, swift, and courteous dine in service. I prefer a slightly more formal dining experience, but it will absolutely not stop me from risking tunnel traffic to eat there again. We might even bring more people next time.
I’m not the biggest fan of Thai food, I’ll admit. This place, however, is really fantastic. The staff are friendly and attentive, the food came out super quick, and everything I had was delicious. I tried the Evil Jen Fried Rice at a medium spice level and it was great! Very excited to return and try their other dishes.
Cool and rainy evening called for some spicy food and Thai food was our choice. This was the first time trying out Jen Thai so we weren’t sure what to expect. Ordered steamed dumplings, green curry and pad thai with shrimp. The dumplings were tasty but a bit hard so hopefully they can improve this item. Green curry and the pad thai was phenomenal. Loved the pad thai presentation. The guy serving us was very polite and gentle and that added positive vibes to the overall experience. Will definitely recommend this place to others and will go back another time.
