I'm going to keep this short, since the other positive reviews explain pretty much everything. Prices are fair. Food quality is excellent (drunked noodle and garlic lo mein). Service is attentive but not overbearing, and very friendly. Water was refilled without asking. All in all, I'd recommend this as a solid choice for a date night, or just some food with friends. read more

Jasmine doesn't look like a whole lot from the outside but once indoors you're transported to a relaxing, beautiful dining room where the staff are incredibly kind and the food is bomb! everything i've tried here has been wonderful- my favorite are the spring rolls (the best i've ever had!) prices are good and fair, and i am happy to call this one of my favorite restaurants in schenectady/rotterdam. read more

First, their food is amazing. It's authentic, delicious, and priced well. The servers are excellent, and they will remember you when you return. My husband and I became regulars here, tried several dishes including the ones we have never tried, and we never got disappointed. Also, portions are huge! Even my husband couldn't finish his curry, and it became my lunch next day. Oh, and if you are worried that you can't eat spicy, they can make it mild for you. For folks like me who want the most authentic dishes, just ask for "Thai Spicy" and your tongue will be on fire for the rest of the day. So skip your hamburgers for today and try this place. You won't regret coming here! read more

What a great find! We were just passing through town and needed a place to grab a late lunch. The restaurant was empty at 3pm on a Saturday, but we were greeted warmly by the very friendly host/waiter/owner(?). Great menu selections. I had the mango curry with chicken, which was fantastic. My wife had jasmine eggplant, which was delicious. If you order extra spicy, you are asked "one through five". This is a great way to specify your taste, instead if just saying "pretty spicy but not too spicy." I ordered mine four, which was very spicy, just the way I like it, but it didn't send me into cardiac arrest. The neighborhood looks a bit downtrodden and the outside of the building somewhat shabby, but the inside is nice, the service is friendly, and the food hit the spot. read more

I may be a little bit biased because of my love of thai knows no boundaries, but Jasmine is the way to go if you are looking for thai in the area. My girlfriends father who happens to be a health inspector for Schenectady County actually recommended it so I had high expectations. And since it has opened I have gone again and again. So far I have tried mutiple menu items from Glass Noodles, Kao Soi, Kee Mao, and the Tom Yum soup. The Kee Mao at Jasmine was the best I have ever had and the lunch prices are infinitely better then some of the overrated thai restaurants in the area. Although it doesn't look like much, Jasmine Thai is a hidden gem in Schenectady County and I highly recommend it. read more

First, I hope this place flourishes. I came here twice in a week's visit and will return. The people who work here are extremely nice and the food is very good. Some things they do very well and others need a little bit of work. First, the decor is pretty minimal. They didn't seem to do too much since the diner here closed except replace booths with tables and add some touches here and there. It looks okay but at some point when they're making money it'd be nice to see the decor revamped. This didn't matter to me much as I got take out. Still, the place looks very clean and pleasant. Next, the portions. The drunken noodles were plentiful as were the lab gai and spring rolls. However, the panang duck dish was lacking both in rice as well as main dish. I can understand not overdoing it on the duck but there really wasn't a lot of vegetables either. Rice should be doubled. Now, the taste. I really didn't care for the jasmine fresh roll. It was bland and the sauce was sickly sweet. That was the only dish I didn't care for. The spring rolls were slamming. The Panang curry sauce was spot on, creamy and with good balance and heat. The drunken noodles were really good and spicy enough for me but not overpowering. They could've used a little bit more sauce (touch dry) but they were really good. The veggies were fresh. The Lab Gai was tasty (my 1st time) as well. Thai iced tea...yum! Definitely try this place! Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Went today and had dinner. Everything was great. Huge portions so not sure what other reviewers are complaining about. We eat strictly vegetarian and our server informed us that the vegetarian dishes could be made with or without the fish sauce. We appreciated that since fish sauce is used in almost all Thai dishes. We started with the Jasmine Fresh rolls (an order a piece). Large serving that could have easily been split and very fresh. I ordered the Ginger & Mushroom and my friend had the Jasmine spicy Basil. I liked both but my dish could have used more mushroom. We added tofu to both and the tofu was fresh and delicious. The only thing lacking from the menu is alcohol. Hopefully they will be getting this in the future as I like to have a drink with my meal. read more

Jasmine Thai Restaurant - Garlic and black pepper with tofu. - Thai Near Me - Schenectady, New York

Simply the best in the Capitol District I absolutely love this place and am proud to be considered a regular. The extremely friendly staff know me and my work colleagues by name. I am so happy they have earned such high YELP praise. Yes, it is that good . I have only been here for lunch, but everything I have had is worthy of a photo. Mango curry is my favorite with fresh spring rolls as an appetizer. If you get Pad Tai, plan on taking 1/2 home. All fruits and vegetables are extra fresh. The portions are perfect size and you don't walk out bloated like at a Chinese buffet! read more

I never knew what I was missing out on until I ate here: fresh, delectable dishes and gracious service The few times I have tried Thai resulted in bitter disappointment and made me apprehensive of this cuisine. Needless to say, I think this is the first time I have had authentic, fresh Thai food and I was irrevocably satisfied. They have swayed me for the better. My mother and aunt were visiting for the weekend so I tried my hardest to find some of the best restaurants to bring them to. It's hard for me not to constantly critique a restaurant, but team the three of us up and expectations are heightened even further. Even with these extra standards, they did not disappoint. In fact, they exceeded what we had hoped for. Being a Saturday night, and the place was fairly desolate. The interior is essentially one enormous dining area, separated from the door by a simple half wall. Upon walking in, you are greeted by a counter and cash register. The decor seemed a little washed out to me, but the overall atmosphere was light and pleasant. We were seated in a booth not too far from the main counter and left to look over the abundant menu. We started with a few appetizers to share, some borderline Chinese, but with a unique twist. Their Crab Rangoons gave a whole knew meaning to the dish. While it was traditional in the sense that is had a cream cheese and crab mixture within a wonton deep fried, they went beyond the norm with presentation and style by drizzling a cream and plum sauce over the plate. While they borderline drowned the dish is in this mixture, we weren't bothered in the least. If anything, this enhanced our desire of the appetizer. Despite the abundance of sauce, the rangoons were still quite crispy and the cream cheese mixture was the appropriate balance of ingredients. My aunt, who normally dislikes crab rangoons, even commented how she would order this again in a heartbeat. We also ordered their pot stickers which had a similar design; amazingly crispy yet smothered in delicious sauce. The difference being a soy based sauce and a vegetable mixture within crunchy noodle. Lastly for our appetizers, we got the Shrimp Satay. Compared to our other two dishes this was a bit underwhelming but still satisfying. The shrimp was grilled properly along with the delectably juicy pineapple. It was served with the traditional peanut sauce, which I have never had before, but was quite delicious. I could definitely see the appeal. In addition, since I know it is a classic, I also ordered their Chicken Coconut Soup. This was the highlight of my evening and what truly opened my eyes to this style of food. I have had this soup at other places and it always is revolting sour, but not here. There were so many opposing forces that blended in such a graceful way. The broth was creamy, yet thin and the flavor was savory, yet had a twinge of both sweetness and sour. Everything balanced so perfectly. You could taste the hints of cilantro and heat. The chicken, while in fairly large chunks for a soup, was tender and soaked up all the wonderful, fresh flavors. They even decorated it nicely with mushrooms and garnish. I never thought such a healthy dish could be so appeasing. For my main dish, I played it safe with an order of their Beef Drunken Noodles. The drunken noodles were definitely delicious, but I do regret not getting the Bangkok Duck like my mom and aunt. The piece that I had was to die for. There are only a handful of times that I have had perfectly cooked duck and this was one of them. Exquisitely crisp exterior, even though it was drenched in sauce, yet juicy and tender interior; all of the flavors mingled perfectly with the fresh meat. The slathered sauce was sweet yet savory. Definitely soy-based but absolutely delicious. The meal also came with rice and slightly under-cooked vegetables, but, like every dish for the evening, the presentation was beautiful. Since I read from one person that the drunken noodles could be on the drier side, I made it a priority to ask for extra sauce. For the price, you got a decent amount. The noodles were traditional, wide and flat, and sopped up all the wonderful juices. The only complaint I had would have to be the beef. It know it's difficult to cook beef this way, but it was on the tough side; I wish I ordered shrimp or something. Other than that, it was just as glorious as their other dishes, with a little less of a unique spin. The service was great except they kept forgetting to refill out water. Normally this would be a huge no no in my book, but everything else was perfect. Even though I asked for them to box it up for me, they accidentally threw out my leftover soup. Upon realizing this, they whipped me up a fresh container to go. I was internally ecstatic. Overall, I would definitely come back here. The prices are fair, the staff is very accommodating and the portions are generous. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for mind-blowing Thai cuisine read more

My wife and I decided to try Jasmine Thai last night based on Yelp user reviews. If you are reading this, stop. Get off your computer. Put down your smartphone. Head straight there to eat. You will not be disappointed! read more

Best Thai food in the CRUST, unless there's something up in Saratoga we don't know about. Friendly, prompt service, undialed-down spicing, excellent presentation, reasonable prices, and relatively authentic preparation (there are more than a few American ingredients substituted in the dishes, but the spicing and basic recipes are spot on). The ambiance of this place is a little hole in the wall from the outside, although inside it's clean and pleasant it's pretty bare bones. But the overall effect is just homey and wonderful. It's not haute but the value and deliciousness are in five-star territory for the area. read more

My wife and I have visited here many times in the last 6 months. Their service, food, setting, pricing, etc are all a 5 out of 5 star experience. My wife and I have tried many dishes including the following and highly recommend them all: the Triple King, Goong-Aob-WoonSen, Panang Curry, Yellow Curry, Massaman Curry, and the Garlic and Black Pepper. The restaurant didn't look outside like anything special but when you walk in the servers were all in traditional dresses and it was very clean everywhere. The food was delicious, plated very beautifully! The prices were reasonable, and the service was great!! Thankful for a superb meal! If you are looking for Thai in the Capital Region, go no where else! read more

Have been three times, and all times everything was outstanding. Real Thai people cooking real Thai food. I used to eat at the Bangkok and then I felt like they went downhill. We had crab Rangoon (which I am very picky with and these were the best I've ever had). we have tried a few different entrees including a eggplant and chicken dish as well as a crunchy noodle w chicken and veggies - both so good. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. I hope they make it because this is my new favorite place!! read more

The best Thai in the Capital District. You have to go to Ithaca to find anything comparable. Excellent Tod Mun fish cakes and red curry. Try the shrimp or tofu curries. This is not a bar nor night club. On Upper Broadway near the Schenectady /Rotterdam line. Parking lot always packed for good reason. read more

I judge a a place by their chicken pad Thai and wow...by far the best I've ever had from here to California! I placed an order of the Jasmine Spring rolls and they were perfectly crispy and the sauce that came with them..:yummy! The timing was perfect, my chicken pad Thai was amazing (I wish I took a picture but I will next time) they were nice and generous with the chicken, it came with egg which I never had on pad thai before and that was awesome, plenty of noodles, peanuts, and the sauce was done just right. My dad got red curry with duck and it was done just right. Good clean restaurant, friendly and attentive staff, fresh hot good food! Parking to the side and up front. They also do pick up. There's nothing near me for Thai food so I will totally go here again!!! Honestly not enough great things I can say! *Update* Ordered pick up for myself: chicken pad Thai (I can't stop eating it) and the Thai fried rice with chicken. The Thai fried rice isn't greasy like other places and it had carrots, broccoli, peas, onions, and tomatoes in it. It had awesome flavoring to it and I want to say a light shrimp taste to it. They were generous with the chicken pieces. Same thing for the pad Thai (yay lunch for the next day!) can't wait to order and try more! read more

Excellent food. I used to go to Blue Spice on Central Ave all the time until they closed. It seems as if maybe people from Blue Spice are working here. The menu is almost identical, and all of my old favorites are here. I got the Siam Chicken, which is spicy chicken with sauce served in a hollowed out pineapple. Delicious. The mango saiad was also good. If you liked Blue Spice I recommend this restaurant highly. Rice was very dry, so no 5 stars. read more

This is, no exaggeration, the best restaurant in Schenectady -- by miles. The food is consistently fresh, expertly prepared, attractively presented, and served quickly, and the service is very friendly, from the owners to the chef and the waitstaff. Prices are more than fair, as are portion sizes. While I've never had a dish I didn't like at Jasmine Thai, I'm partial to the curries. My favorite is the mango curry, with chunks of mango, pineapple, red pepper, and peas. As I'm vegetarian, I love that most dishes can be prepared with tofu as the protein instead of meat, and the staff actually listens when I ask for something to be made very spicy -- this one has quite a kick! The vegetarian spring rolls (appetizer) are also a favorite. We eat at Jasmine Thai twice a month, and if we didn't feel obligated to mix up our cuisine styles, we'd probably eat there more. It's that good. read more

My favorite Thai restaurant. Everyone is so nice. The food is amazing and the service is great. My favorite !!

The tea is delicious and adorable. Very friendly staff. I really like the soups, as well.

Uh, best Thai I've had on this continent. Spring rolls, tempura shrimp (u10's no less), satay chicken, chicken wings - all done to perfection. Green curry, pad Thai, fried rice, all as good as it gets. Weird spot. Worth the drive. read more

Had lunch here today with a friend, and decided to join Yelp - I had lurked for most of a year - to leave a review of Jasmine. I had the lunch special with Thai spring rolls and Massaman curry. Both were excellent - probably the best I have had in the Capital District. The dining room was very nicely appointed. This place is in an out-of-the-way section of Schenectady, but it's worth the effort to find it. read more

Now, I have been here numerous of times in the past with my family and dinner last night was bad enough to make me never want to come back. A busy Saturday night that's fine. Our waitress forgot our sprite and thai iced tea but remembered another tables thai tea and another's 2-3 beer and wine order, both tables that were sat after us. The highlight was the app, thai spring rolls. The prik pao fried rice was one note - spice, which is great but salt is a nice seasoning too? Red curry noodle....im not thai but im viet, we are neighboring countries and if I wanted to drink straight coconut milk I would've done so from my kitchen cabinet. That dish was a slap in my face but before you ask no we did not complain to the two waitresses there. Aside from it being busy, the one waitress who is always there, a little on the bigger side, can be rude. We came in with the mindset of ordering 2 things to go for lunch the next day and sticky delight for dessert. When we were finished with our meal but servers came over asked if we wanted a box and the check was slapped down on the table, no questions asked by the rude server I mentioned. Oh? Am I not white enough or old enough like the table behind us that you sucked up to and kept apologizing for your mistakes and thanking them for being so patient and asking them if they wanted dessert or anything else? Oh! And those drinks we never received? They were still on the check and we had to ask to get them taken off. I've been to a slightly bigger asian restaurant where there's only 2 servers but they had 2 people as runners so they had extra help. They could still be kind, attentive and the chef made sure the quality was up to the restaurants standards for a busy Friday night this was. We always dealt with the service for being subpar because the food was amazing, after this experience just know you have to be older than 25-35, not have that many tattoos, don't dressed like a child with graphic teas dress up alittle and be white or be with white people or ethnic with white privilege or not an interracial couple otherwise you won't get amazing suck up service. As my husband said when they check was placed down before we could order dessert, it be like that huh? read more

Love this place. I have tried so many different things on their menu and I have yet to try something I didn't like. It's a great place to go on your lunch break because they're quick and the food is excellent. The spring rolls and potstickers are amazing. I can never decide which one to get with the lunch special. Just know you won't go wrong with either. My favorite dish is probably the Pad Jung-Koa (it's a spicy dish). read more

The best Thai restaurant in the area, hands down. The mango curry, or any other curry for that matter, are finger-licking delicious. And the menu contains lots of options for the vegetarian. The spiciness level is very inconsistent, a number 3 could kill you one day or be hardly noticeable the next. The waitress is always very, openly, skeptical that you can take anything over a 2. It is funny that you almost have to argue with her :) The service is friendly although some days it might be a little slow for not obvious reason. But once they take your order the food is ready soon after. The place is not quite downtown, but the extra 5 minutes to get there are absolutely worth. read more

Stopped by with a party of 7 for late dinner on a Saturday (8 PM). Atmosphere is bright and casual; I didn't feel out of place wearing athletic clothing. Would be too casual for a romantic date, but worked fine for a large group of friends. Food: Pad See Ew, Ginger Mushroom Chicken, roast duck, tom yum soup. Fine, nothing special. We've eaten a lot of Thai food, and Jasmine Thai would be ranked squarely in the middle. Service: OK, but language barrier became a problem when we tried to pay. The waiter was confused by our attempt to split the check, so he ended up re-entering everyone's check separately. Price: Was disappointed by the small amount of chicken in my dish (Ginger Mushroom chicken) for the price of $13. Other dishes were slightly better for value: soup in particular is huge. read more

We've ordered take out a couple of times. The first time was ok. The second time was terrible, hence the 1 star rating. My wife and I both ordered the same dish. Chicken panang curry. We have had this same dish in many other places and it hands down one of the worst here. Tasted like the food we have has been frozen a long time. We received one tiny (and I mean tiny) serving of rice for both entrees. There was a generous amount of coconut milk and it was tasty, but it was lukewarm*. Worse, there was precious little chicken and vegetables in the sea of coconut milk. On top of that, the menu stated the dish included baby corn but there was none in either of our servings. . I don't know if the coconut broth was prepared fresh and cooled by time I ate it, or if they have it sitting in a pot in the kitchen. But I got there exactly 20 minutes after I called it in, and waited a few minutes in the restaurant while they finished the food. I got home 10 minutes later. So maybe it cooled on the ride home. But I've done Thai take out many times and have never had the food cool that quickly on me. Considering the food we got was horribly overpriced. Not sure why others gave this place a high rating it certain not that good. Only good new is place is clean looking but food is not anything i would buy again here. read more

The service was excellent. They were friendly and quick. I ordered the green curry with shrimp! Delish! Loved it. Just the right amount of flavor and spice. I also had the shrimp satay and the dumplings. The satay sauce was what I was craving, so good, and all of the shrimp were a good size and cooked well. The dumplings were my least favorite and they were still good! I look forward to going back there! read more
