Fairly average, annoying service charge and a lousy prawn that was cold with no other plate/ dish to put shell in. Overpriced for what it is. Staff are friendly but you get the feeling they just want to feed you and get you out to...make space for the next customer…More
Crab omelette & drunken noodle was really good. You need to arrive before 7 to get a decent number, or gamble your day when the store is closing around 6 ish and hopefully you will get a table.
The food was good. But we had to wait 4 hours to eat (and they are not transparent about it - you have to write your name on a list and stay there until they call you, about an 90 mins later. We thought that...was it and were open to wait. But once we put the order in we had to wait 2 more hours there). The place is filled with smoke and the staff is rude. The food is overpriced. Honestly, not worth it. I would have never gone if I knew we would have such a horrible experience. It really ruined our day.More
Very rude hostess. I had high hopes for this place but the food was disappointing. The crab omelette tasted very bland. Not much crab flavor, and not sure if the crab was fresh or just frozen crab. The dry tom yum was mediocre. Ordered dried...version because I saw many complained soup version was either too salty or sour. The drunken noodles was too pricey for what you get. Just three prawns and a few squid here and there for 600B. Trust me fancier restaurants in larger malls in Bangkok with air conditioning, comfortable environment, and quality service serve much nicer food for the price you get. And better tastes too, I mean like food that’s punched with thai herbs and spices. Check out the nicer restaurants in Siam Paragon, Central World, Icon Siam… the price might even be cheaper than this so called street food restaurant. Oh yeah and ice cubes for drinks costs money haha . I only recommend coming here to take a picture of Chef Jay Fai cooking food, she’s pretty awesome, but the food could definitely be skipped. The hostess was arrogant and rude.More
Great Food as always. We arrive at 8.30. Seated at 10.30. Food out by 11. Love the Crab Omellete. Drunken noodle and Dry Tom yum are good too.
Delish! I waited a little over an hour - worth it in my opinion. Three of us got and shared the crab omelet, pork fried rice, drunken noodle, and tom yum goon soup. The crab omelet and pork fried rice were delish!!!!!! Soup was good....The drunken noodle was just ok. Hot Tip: Go and put your name on the list - go across the street for a beverage, return in an hour and check the list! Your name should be up shortly. AND be ready to order. They call your name and take your order before you are seated. BUT know this, if you were called and weren't right there, you're out! Glad I went!More
With 1,5 hours waiting and price 1400BHT for a crab omelet, the expectations for a wonderful meal were high. Was it the surroundings and atmosphere that made it? Absolutely not. I would define it an average street Cafè, noisy and shabby shick chairs and table...(though properly cleaned for each new seating). However, fascinating to watch the cooking in the outside kitchen! We finally got our meal; Crab omelet together with rice, and a spicy shellfish soup. They both tasted good, but I can hardly say that it was worth the wait and absolutely not the price. The only thing is the boast of having been there, but not what I would recommend.More
No more tickets! But someone offered to buy her ticket ... we thought we were lucky! After a 3h30 wait (she's the only one cooking in the restaurant!!!) we ordered the famous omelette and other dishes. You have to pay for everything here ... even...the ice cubes! . What a disappointment for the signature dish. The crab is very good but there are no condiments so the whole thing is bland , the outside is not crispy ... no particular interest. ️ The other dishes are tasty. The bill is exorbitant. Even if we are willing to pay more with the Michelin star ... we are still looking for the justification of this star! . Cherry on the cake when it came time to pay the bill. The waitress, not so friendly, refuses us our coins to pay 10 centimes because she only accepts certain coins! To be short, go your own way and enjoy street food everywhere else in Bangkok, but don't waste your time here!More
The story of Jay Fai makes this experience worth while not the food, and please don’t get me wrong the food is delicious but not exceptional to have to queue for hours for it. People who’ll appreciate this whole experience are the ones who want...to be part of the story of Jay fai, the romance of watching her standing there like an artist behind the fire creating every dish personally with love and passion. . Imaging what she had to go through to serve and perfect her craft. But if you’re here just for the food, and will be uncomfortable with the long wait then don’t come .. it’s ok , others will .. the place is packed. As for the dishes , what makes them special is the BIG chunks of crab and prawn .. the Tom yum is just right .. the prawn with crispy garlic is so aromatic.. the crab yellow curry is delicious (a bit too much eggs though) .. the fried rice smoky and addictive .. the Crab omelet was interesting but wouldn’t be my top pick.. the Drunken noodles wouldn’t recommend at all It took us 1 hour to get a table after registering on the waiting list. Then an hour to get the food and 45 min to eatMore
It is a complete waste of time. We have spent one half of our day to get there and tried in vain to secure a booking. Staff are very arrogant and rude to customers. They don’t even pay any attention to customers and care about...their enquires. It was very pack with the group of enthusiastic people queueing on the road side. There is no clear policy on who gets listed on their waiting list. We gave up finally and decided to have a lunch at Somboon, much better place to enjoy an authentic seafood cuisine while in Thailand.More
We came there and put our name on the waiting list. After a 2 hour wait our order was taken, and we where seated. Almost immediately we got our drinks and after half an hour we got hour order. We got the omelet with crab,...which was definetely a special dish, but the flavors where a little bland. The drunken noodles where nice and spiced up, but nothing you can’t get anywhere else. So if you want somethin special go for the crab o elet, but if you expect spectacular flavors use your time for something else.More
No worth at all… queue for 3hours and waiting food for 1hour… all dish super salty , especially the tom yam! If whose look for salty tom yam maybe can go and try
Rude Staff, Bad Service, Ridiculous Dining Policy, Filthy Place, Extortionate Food Price...that's basically the experience you gonna get. The service staff really don't give a damn of your enquiries and expect you to know their dining policy despite being the first time customer, which was...one of the worst Thai hospitality that I've ever encountered. There were a bunch of farang (google it) idiots just stood in front of the table and blocked the view of the tiny memo where you supposed to write your name on it as the queue, made me struggled of where to look for the memo and where to start the queue, as they just stood there and not even moving aside or elsewhere to wait for their table. In the end I gave up and left for other restaurant. I am not the only reviewer with such comments; read the rest of the bad reviews and you'll get it. Seriously don't understand why still many people willing to wait for hours & hours & hours under the hot sun and the unpleasant cooking odours with the surrounding polutions, then spent thousands & thousands & thousands of bahts for such overrated dining experience. Ask yourself, will you live longer after eating the foods there? Does your poops smell better from the foods you eaten there? I can get a much better service and dining experience elsewhere in Bangkok easily with a much comfortable environment and reasonable price. If you have too much time and money to waste in Bangkok, and want to be the next idiot and being humiliated by the staff, then go ahead and good luck. They can't be bothered with your patience and michelin's repeat quality checks since they already earned more than enough to retire for the rest of their life.More
We stayed in a hotel in Bangkok and wanted to make reservations. We were told that we had to go there to make reservations. So we took a taxi, went there. The lady at the reception was not interested at all. Playing with her cell...phone was much more important to her. She told us - not very friendly- there would be no possibility to make reservations we should come at 9 am next day or a little earlier to try to get a table. NO other way. Then she turned away to play with her cell. So we had no possibility to get something to eat. We looked around- see the pics below-. We had on other street food places food . But… The food they served to other people looked ok. We really don’t know why they got a Michelin Star. There was also no possibility to take away food .More
Dont have to feel regretful for not being able to dine at Jay Fai. The place is simply overhyped! Expected to wait an average of 4hours approximately and wait again for the food to be served once you are seated down. Half a day could...be gone just wasting the time queuing and waiting. You have to requeue if yoy missed your numbers! Price is also overpriced for the kind of food served. Nothing really stands out in my opinion. There are really plenty of good reasonable food in bangkok. The acclaimed crab omelette was nicely rolled and full of crabs meat. It came at a hefty price of 1400 baht considering it is just an omelette if not for the crab meats. However, the whole dish was bland and you can only taste the eggy flavour. The drunken noodle is normal but portion is small. We also ordered the crispy noodles which is special and at least the portion came with more veg and seafood. Overall, the poor queuing system and the super long wait spoilt the whole dinning experience. There were quite a number of people being turned away as they said the queue was full and it was only 11am!! This place is out of nowhere and imagine travelling down purposely but to be turned away. Isit worth the wait? Personally not for me again!More
