Saigon Café Asian Cuisine October 16, 2026…read more Had dinner at Saigon Café with my grandson, and we really enjoyed our meal! For starters, we ordered the House Platter, which included two shrimp, two egg rolls, and two cheese puffs. For our entrees, we had: General Tso's Chicken - Specially marinated chicken, lightly fried and served in a spicy brown sauce. Triple Delight - Shrimp, chicken, beef, and mixed vegetables sautéed in a garlic sauce. Both entrees were served with fried rice. The food was fresh, served hot, and full of flavor. Everything was delicious and satisfying! The restaurant has a small, clean dining room, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our dinner and look forward to coming back again. We were so hungry that I almost forgot to take pictures! Overall, a very enjoyable dinner with good food and friendly service. We'll definitely be back!

Hunan beef was wonderfully spicy and had great cuts. Fried rice was generous and full of verity. Staff all seemed in a great mood, I got takeout but dining room looked inviting. And open late!

This is going to be a very honest review…read more From the moment you walk in, it has a stench that kind of set me on the wrong foot from the jump, but I still wanted to give this restaurant the benefit of the doubt. As we were walking to our table, my feet were slipping as if there was grease on the floor in the front of the restaurant as well. It kind of made me feel like I was at a Jack in the Box at 2 AM. Our server was very kind and attentive; however, the place overall did not look very well kept together or clean. I would say, on a cleanliness scale, it was a 3 out of 10. I don't recommend this place. The food was truly not that good for the price at all. I ordered four dishes and four drinks, and my total was $77.33, not including a tip. My husband and I both agreed that if we would've gone to Panda Express, we would've enjoyed it more for half the price. If you would like to sit down and enjoy Chinese food in a restaurant, as this one is advertising, I'd highly recommend going to Hunan Lion in Round Rock, Texas. We recently moved from Round Rock to Jarrell, so we were trying to stay closer to home, but never again will I eat here. I'll definitely be making the trip to Round Rock every single time I want Chinese food.

After having a bad experience a couple months ago at Sorn Thai down the street (read my review) we…read moredecided to check out JaiWai. We had walked past it a few times in the past and had been wanting to try it out. The restaurant is small and non-assuming, but don't let that fool you. We opted for lunch with a couple friends and were not disappointed. Our server Mack greeted us as we arrived and quickly got us seated with menus and waters. I had heard that the Kao Soi was supposed to be really good, so I opted for that. My wife had her usual Pad Thai with chicken, our friends had Pad Krapow with pork and chicken Basil Fried Rice. Living in Thailand for 6 years as a kid, I pretty much know good Thai food, and I can tell you that all 4 dishes hit the mark. I tried tastes from all 4 dishes. The Pad Thai was served with crushed peanuts and a big slice of lime and was very flavorful, had the right amount of sauce, but probably could have used just a tad less sugar and a few more pieces of meat. The Basil Fried Rice was delicious. It had that "wok-fired" street food taste and was served with some sliced cucumber and a slice of lime. The only thing I would change is to leave the broccoli out. You don't typically see that in Thailand. The Pad Krapow had a spot-on taste associated with good Pad Krapow and did not disappoint. The only suggestion is to be sure and order it with a fried egg to make it more authentic. Last but certainly not least was my Kao Soi. Only recently becoming more popular here in the US, it is an egg noodle curry soup dish that originates from northern Thailand. I have had Kao Soi in restaurants in Chiang Mai, and I can tell you that JaiWai hit every mark with this one! Most impressive was the plate of condiments. It included a lime wedge for a little acidity to help brighten the flavor of the broth, chopped shallots for some freshness, and pickled mustard greens that really make a difference! They are tart and crunchy and help counter the richness of the broth, a component that's very important in Thai cuisine. And lastly, fried chili flakes. This is optional for those who want to add some heat to their bowl, but for me it is mandatory. I like my Thai food hot and spicy. The only suggestion I have for the Kao Soi is maybe top it with slightly less fried noodles. They were welcome, but just a tad difficult to mix them into the soup because of the amount. Mack did an amazing job serving us. He was very friendly and took the time to confirm our orders. So I highly recommend JaiWai and we will be making it our go to Thai place in Georgetown. Do yourself a favor and give them a try! Ambiance - 9/10 Service - 10/10 Food - 10/10 Overall - 10/10

Tried Jaiwai Thai Kitchen for dinner last night and had a really good experience. The service was…read moregreat, the food came out fresh and flavorful, and everything we ordered was something I'd happily get again. We had the yellow curry with tofu, pad Thai with tofu, and the papaya salad -- all were delicious. One thing worth mentioning: we ordered spice level 1 out of 5, and it still had a solid kick. Definitely enough heat to keep you reaching for the next bite without being overwhelming. They also brought out complimentary egg rolls and wontons as appetizers, which was a nice surprise and a great way to start the meal. The restaurant itself is very casual with a simple, no-frills atmosphere that seems mainly focused on to-go orders rather than dine-in ambiance. That said, the food and friendly service were definitely the stars of the experience. Overall, really enjoyable dinner and I'm looking forward to coming back.

Chicken was extremely tender but since I requested no zucchini the veggies were limited. Fried rice was not the sticky or starchy version often served at Chinese restaurants. Other Chinese dishes ordered were General Tso chicken and Mo Shu Chicken. Both looked tasty and friends were pleased. Ordered 3 sushi rolls- Rainbow was very tasty and so was the salmon roll and yellowtail roll. All made fresh and very tasty. Already planning the next visit. Yeah - finally an Asian restaurant that's not too far and has tasty food. Hours of operation - pay attention since they close mid-day between lunch and dinner.

I had to get pho (with beef) which is my favorite and the hubs decided to get the noodle soup with fish cake! The bowl is huge and the broth was flavorful and clear. You could tell some of the thinly sliced beef was just put in the broth as it was still cooking, that's exactly how I like it! I added hoisin, sriracha, and little chili garlic, light drizzle (just the way I like it). Normally, I can't finish my bowl but it was so delicious, I finished all the noodle and beef, only couldn't drink up all the delicious broth. When we are in Temple, this is going to be our goto spot.

One came and brought menus and a bottle of cold water to the table. Walls could use a good cleaning, but other than that a pretty chill spot. We chose what to order and she came back to take our order. Appetizer was delivered to the table in about 5 minutes. Waited probably about 15-20 minutes for the food to come out. One of us order shrimp fried rice, which came out earlier than the rest. The soups all come out together. I ordered the Wonton Noodle Soup. There were only three wontons in the whole bowl--which was a little disappointing. The flavor of the broth was lacking. I used the toppings from one of the Phos that got ordered to razzle dazzle it up a little bit--and some chili oil. Chili oil didnt not pack much heat or depth in flavor. All in all...pretty mediocre. Would check out some other spots before I decide whether or not to return.

I thought the pho was very good, and this is very impressive coming from me as I have come to learn that I am very selective in my pho preferences. This was miles better than the pho at the other major Vietnamese restaurant in Temple. My friend who is picky with her pho tasted the broth and really liked it as well. I thought the flavour of the broth and noodles was delicious. I had mentally prepared myself to douse sauce on the noodles if I thought the flavour was too bland, but it turned out to be so good. I got the pho with beef meatball and lean brisket. My friend got two spring rolls and two egg rolls. She loved the spring rolls, especially the peanut sauce they came with. The sauce had such a rich flavour. The egg rolls, on the other hand, were a disappointment. One of them had vegetables, while the other looked odd and only had some kind of meat in it. My friend told me not to try it because she knew I wouldn't like it, but I felt it was necessary to give my honest opinion and more comprehensive review. It had meat that did not taste good and was very hard. It almost felt like they made it by mistake. Even though there was music playing, it felt so quiet in the restaurant. The ambience could be improved, but it was very clean and tidy. You can see that this is a family-owned business with kids' toys outside, which reminds me of the memes that say you know that means the food is going to be good when the owner's kid is in the restaurant. I hope they take their reviews into account because I really want their business to thrive! I will be recommending this place to my friends and will definitely return.

Surroundings that transport you somewhere, like a villa, to embrace a type of cuisine? Here, I'd say ambiance is a comfortable escape with a kitchen and menu offering quality Japanese fare we all crave. The menu is vast and easy to read as you nestle in the cozy, Japanese themed surroundings. Not fancy. Cozy. You quickly forget the strip mall location and vape shop next door. It's a place to settle in for a spell or a quick, relaxing lunch. The service was extremely friendly, smiling and quick. The sushi was delicious, proper temperature and flavorful. The spicy seasonings were on point and the very spicy is appropriately noted on menu. I'm going back for more exploration, relaxation and `affordable quality.
