Food was tasty with ample portions. Ordered to go and everything was well packaged. I do wish the sweet and sour chicken had more sauce. The crab Rangoons were very good the sauce was so good. read more

Jai Dee Thai Kitchen -- Pleasant Experience, With Some Room for Improvement Jai Dee Thai Kitchen has a quaint, pleasant atmosphere, and the greeter/waitress was friendly and welcoming. We started with the Crab Rangoon, which I found to be a little tough and fairly mediocre. The Pad Thai was very tasty, although it leaned a bit sweeter than expected. I requested Thai hot, but the spice level came across more like medium. The mango fried rice was flavorful and enjoyable, but again, it wasn't as spicy as requested. For someone specifically looking for authentic Thai heat, it may be worth emphasizing that "Thai hot" really means Thai hot. Overall, there were definitely some things I enjoyed, and I would be willing to give Jai Dee another try. Next time, I'll be sure to clearly emphasize my expectations regarding the spice level. read more

Yum Yum Yum. We ordered takeout which I went and picked up. Everything was fresh hot and delicious. So many vegetables with good portions I felt like the food was fresh and the meat was good quality. I love Thai food and will be ordering from here again. read more

Our first time, great service, happy they moved to the Powell area from the UT campus area . Tried the classic, Pad Thai, ordered with shrimp, ordered medium spice level, ( first time) No heat at all, and hot is the next level. We will return, since only about 3 or 4 miles from home. read more

The atmosphere was perfect so cute and cozy! Best service ever! Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! Accidentally ordered the sticky mango rice for dessert so I went ahead and ordered the tiramisu also because it's my favorite, it did not disappoint! That mango sticky rice was a wonderful surprise! Can't wait to go back! read more

Everything I have tried is amazing. Top favorites are drunken noodles and pho. I am picky when it comes to pho and normally eat at Bida and Bida only for it, but it was a Tuesday so I gave it a try. 10/10. So much flavor. No need to add any other sauces. read more

Nice place, but the food I order was way too sweet. I sent back the drunken noodle because the only thing you could taste is sugar which doesn't go well with shrimp and chicken. I've always enjoyed the balance of sour, salty, and sweet but the food here is all about the sweet. The owner did say she made for the American taste but it's definitely not my taste. I did order the papaya salad and mango sticky rice to go, so I'm hoping its not as sweet. read more

Ordered Tom Kha soup with shrimp tonight. The good news is - broth is great! Bad news - there's no substance...about 4 slices of mushrooms, 2 cherry tomatoes, and 3 plastic spoon size shrimp in the LARGE container! Will not be ordering again unfortunately. Shrimp were $2 add on. Worth about $0.50! Broth for $12 - I can only assume there are better options out there. read more

Jai Dee Thai Kitchen - 3 shrimp in the entire container. - Thai Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Been wanting to try this place for a while. We love having all these Thai food available in our city so much since coming back from living in Thailand. We kept it simple and got 2 Pad Thai and one Penang Curry. It was super disappointing. The pad Thai noodles were mushy and also dry- no sauce, no veggies, maybe 3 small bites of chicken. Then the other serving of Pad Thai was the same noodles but it had a lime, a few green onions, few raw bean sprouts and crushed peanuts- even less chicken. It looked like one normal portion was split up into 2 boxes then delivered to us. The curry had great aroma and portion. .. but the veggies were mushy like they had been frozen then cooked in the sauce and it was so salty.- which is really surprising I've never had salty Thai food. read more

I am traveling for work and ordered the Thai yellow curry. This is the best curry I have ever had. Very nice workers. Highly recommend!

This is hands down the BEST Thai restaurant! It's like eating at your Thai mom's house! The food is phenomenal, always delicious, and made how you wanted, no matter what you ask. The service is top notch, and the restaurant itself is cozy, though a little chilly. You can't go wrong eating here. Just bring a jacket if you're easily cold! read more

I want to start off by saying that the owner did the right thing and refunded one of our meals when I told him about our disappointing experience. He was really apologetic and nice about it. I'm hoping on my next trip it'll be a 5 star review. That said, I can only review on what was my food experience on this day. The restaurant felt a little "shabby"... Self serve water station looked very messy (so much so we paid for bottled water) and it just didn't feel welcoming and super clean. We grabbed menus at the front and went to our table to decide what to order. We ordered two entrees. An order of drunken noodles with beef (12.00 plus an extra 2.50 for the beef) and an order of crispy shrimp (14.00). We also ordered an extra side of sauce which was a single tiny plastic container and was a dollar. That's a bit high for a single container we felt. We ordered two bottles drinks (again, because the water station looked like it wasn't kept up). When the order came I was beyond shocked our $14 shrimp entree came with 3 total shrimp, 4 carrot slices and 2 pieces of broccoli with rice. I felt like this was a kid's meal, not a $14 adult meal. The veggies were ice cold and the rice was luke warm. I asked the owner if 3 shrimp, and a garnish of cold veggies was normal. He apologized profusely and said his son was injured and as the cook they're struggling to keep up without him. Immediately he refunded me for that entree and told me to please give them a second chance. It was because of his kindness and willingness to take responsibility that I will give them a second chance! The drunken noodles were OK. The sauce was all on the bottom (as if it was poured in and the food placed on top) and so it didn't have a lot of flavor. The beef was very tough and really wasn't appetizing either, but with just 3 shrimp we ate it. At least the sauce itself was good when we got to the bottom noodles. I think this dish could have been better with chicken (no upcharge there) and if the noodles were covered in sauce better. Overall I'm hoping it truly was an off night for this place because the other reviews are great and the owner was so helpful. I look forward to a better experience next time and being able to edit my review to show a better experience. Thank you to the owner for trying to make it right! I appreciate that very much. read more

Went in for a to go order. Ordered at the counter. Picked up the order myself, but still was prompted to leave a tip. Just silly. This tipping thing has gotten out of hand. There wasn't even an option, not to leave a tip. Always happy to leave a generous tip when I sit down for dinner. You shouldn't have to leave a gratuity when you pick up a to go order. Shameful. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Also, as compared to similar restaurant , the quality was much smaller. I ordered a curry dish with shrimp. The dish came out very soupy and the shrimp was extremely small. There are so many Asian restaurants out there that I don't think that I will ever go back again. read more

I have order from here twice now. Both times excellent. Last time I ordered was the pho and it's became probably my top three pho. This time I order a combo with fried chicken it's so good season perfectly. I just love this restaurant. read more

That didnt make a difference came with those items plus some. Part of the order did not arrive. read more

The atmosphere for this for this type place is great. The food is excellent service is also very very fast and very good and friendly too. I would definitely recommend this to another another place another location and then I also it's probably one of the better Thai places that I've been to in the greater Knoxville area so I'm gonna give this five stars. read more

Jai Dee Thai Kitchen - I mean you have some of the items at JD - Thai Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

This is some of the best Thai food I've had in awhile! Highly recommend the pad thai and pad woonsen

Jai Dee Thai Kitchen is my absolute favorite! It's my go-to DoorDash meal every time. Their Pad Thai is hands down the best I've ever had--perfect flavor, texture, and portion every time. I also love the Cashews with Crispy Chicken--it's always fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Whether dining in or ordering out, Jai Dee never disappoints. Awesome place with consistently amazing food! read more

NOMFEST 2021, y'all! We are shocked that this place wasn't packed on a Friday evening, because it was amazing. I am usually skeptical when a restaurant tries to tackle more than one cuisine (in this case Thai and Japanese) but Jai Dee made me a believer. A wide variety of noodles, soups (including Pho), sushi galore, stir-fry, and curries. The menu is a lot to take in, but I really appreciated how funny the menu dish descriptions were. This was a unique touch. *virtual high-five.* Our preschooler specifically requested sushi for family night and we definitely got our carb on! We got a few other kid-friendly items and were really wowed with the depth of flavors and freshness. We tried: -Volunteer Roll (crab salad and shrimp-my fave) -Sex on the Beach Roll (giaganto. Had to take 2-3 bites of each piece. Lots of flavor. Slight sear on salmon was great. Roe added a nice texture. The fave of my husband and 4-yo) -Crunchy Shrimp Roll (typical shrimp tempura roll. tasty and appreciated removal of the tail on end pieces) -Pad See Ew-Chicken (really flavorful brown sauce and loved the endless veggies included and perfectly cooked) -Pineapple Curry Fried Rice-Shrimp (subtle curry flavor that made this tasty dish disappear wayyy too quickly) If I had to gripe about anything, it would be nitpicking about the small dab of wasabi with the sushi and the thin to-go packaging, which leaked quite a bit. The parking is also a bit inconvenient. We found the easiest was to park behind the building. The service was fast and friendly and the food amazing. We will definitely be back! read more

Great food and amazing service! Enjoy Jai Dee Thai when traveling to Knoxville and look forward to many more visits.

Enjoyed our lunch today we got chicken drunken noodles and sweet and sour tofu. The noodles were very tasty and the right amount of spice for medium, according to my husband. I loved the sweet and sour tofu - the tofu was slightly crispy on the outside and soft/chewy in the inside (chef's kiss). Reminded me of my childhood. BTW, I don't eat meat or seafood and many of their offerings can be made vegetarian/vegan. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

still one of my fave local offerings for lunch delivery. the red curry used to be my jam. [but i think it's no longer offered.] ~~ {Please tell me i'm WRONG} so now the green curry is where it's at. and i love eating the bamboo shoots. (even tho my TN'd teeth require some smaller cut pieces than it comes with... kitchen shears FTW.) As for ambiance... it's been several years since i dined in, so i'm not the best judge of that. for me It's usually work lunch delivery. and lasts me TWO lunches! read more

Great food. Service could be better, but if you are just ordering to go it's great. Limited parking

The red curry with tofu and Vegetables was delicious. I got takeout. It was ready when I got there. I ate it for three days.

Service was no good. I hate to leave bad reviews but this one I had to. The food was good, but service very slow. I was very late to my DoorDash persons order because the food was still being made. Do recommend for food NOT service. Thank you. (staff was not bad though) read more

As far as service goes this place has the best, you'll never find better people behind the counter. I came in one day right when they were closing and they still took my order and everything even though it was extremely inconvenient for them. I ordered the drunken noodles with crispy chicken and it was excellent I haven't had a lot of Thai food but I know I liked what I got. As for why this is 4 stars instead of 5 it can be a bit expensive, as a collage student. read more

If you've ever wondered what Pad Thai would taste like if it were made in a dishwasher, this is the place! This is the worst representation of Asian cuisine. I've never in my 25 years audibly said "what the actual f***" until now. I'm mad as hell. Save your money and go to an Asian grocery store, make it yourself and save yourself from this diabolical mess. read more

I tried this place for the very first time tonight and it's now a favourite! Crab Rangoon is light and crispy with good filling Pineapple/Coconut Boba Tea is good, but wish I got a different flavour pearl (my fault!) Pad LoMein is so tasty! You can tell it's made with fresh veggies, and the spice leaves a nice heat in your mouth without it being too spicy (I got Level 2) They got everything in my to-go order absolutely perfect and they definitely give you your money's worth! Now I just need to take my husband! read more

Had their Pad Lo Mein! Excellent! The spice powder is just the touch to achieve spice level desired. My friend had drunken noodles & an order of the mixed shrimp dim sum! He said they were great and at 4/$5.95 - it's hard to beat! Definitely not pre frozen! Will be back again!! Next time it's a curry dish! read more

I'm probably a little biased because JD is my initials and I get strange pleasure from the name Jai Dee Thai (no not in a sexual way), but I think the food here is pretty damn good. I first tried Jai Dee Thai about 2 years ago and didn't like it. To be honest I can't even remember what I ate then, but because of that one incident, I didn't eat here for a long time and eventually forgot this place existed. I decided to give Jai Dee Thai another chance on a whim tonight, purely because of the name, and was really impressed this time around. I ordered takeout and got the green curry (spicy level 4) and the spicy salmon sushi roll. Everything was delicious. The curry had the right ratio of veggies, meat (I got chicken) and curry. It was also the first time I've gotten a spicy level of 4/5 in Knoxville and actually felt that the food was spicy! The sushi was surprisingly good, so I'm excited to try out some other rolls. The menu isn't too overwhelming but still seems to have a good selection of things, AND the prices are fair. I'll definitely be coming back Jai Dee Thai! read more

I ordered take out so my review is on the food not the service or ambiance of The restaurant. We ordered the pad Thai, yellow curry, gyoza and the crab Rangoon. The pad Thai was not good there Was a bad after taste and it was not very fresh. The yellow curry and gyoza were fantastic I will definitely eat them again for the price I was disappointed about the pad Thai food quality. I would still eat other food options there read more

Four of us tried Jai Dee for the first time and had high expectations with the great reviews. It was a date night just prior to a concert. We all felt the place had a fast food vibe. You order at a kiosk or at the counter. Get your eating ware out of containers on the counter. They did bring the food to the table, and we were checked on several times. If we split our score: the food was about a 3.5 and the atmosphere about a 2.5. Staff were very nice. Another customer got up to leave, and a staff member from behind the counter yelled (not angrily, but loud enough to get the entire restaurants attention) that they must bus their own table. Not the experience we were looking for from a place with such high scores. read more
