Coming to Jimmy's is like walking into Cheers Bar. Jimmy, May, and the staff know our name...and our food preferences. Tonight I was exhausted and couldn't get myself to make one more decision. Instead, I told Jimmy to surprise me. Six minutes later he brought out a piping hot plate of Pad Ped chicken, extra vegetables, no carrots, extra basil, medium spicy. It was just what I wanted on this cold December night. Hospitality this welcoming is unusual and why Jimmy's is our kitchen away from home. read more

Jimmy Thai - Thai Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

In response to the owners reply to my review. Thank you for the offer, but I paid for the food that I ate. I am not inclined to seek a refund. Regarding the employee hand washing. I was standing directly outside the door. The water in the restroom never turned on and either did the loud air hand dryer. Anyone standing in the hallway would be able to hear if the restroom user turned on the sink and used the air dryer. read more

Jimmy Thai - Broccoli stir-fry (8 shrimp, all broccoli, and a flavorless sauce) - Thai Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

Average Thai food for a fair price. Online ordering was smooth and efficient with no added fees for using online ordering or paying with a credit card. This is good to see. The restaurant was busy on a weeknight around 7 and the energy inside was pleasant. They had a man working the front greeting guests and managing take out orders. He was very nice and attentive. The food was ready quickly and came out packaged perfectly. They didn't have the traditional Thai chili sauce when I asked but instead gave me a sriracha sauce in a packet which was just ok. The food was average overall. Pad Thai: it was a pinkish color, rather than brown, which I have seen before from some restaurants. I was fearful that it would be overly sweet when seeing it and it was definitely sweet, not savory like I prefer. The quality of the ingredients was good but the seasoning was western and not eastern. I don't like this type of pad Thai and don't recommend unless you like sweet entrees. Pad Woon Sen was better than the Pad Thai. It wasn't overly flavorful but consistent and not sweet. The chicken was cooked perfectly. They didn't include enough vegetables but again, not bad. Both dishes were good serving size 1-2 meals worth each depending on how hungry you are. Prices were slightly higher than other Thai places in the area (over $30 for the two) but not outrageous. I will probably try a few other dishes in the future but not in a hurry to go back. I'm glad to see they're doing good business and hope they continue to do well! read more

Cool and casual place with very attentive staff. Green curry was tasty. I'd like a few more veggies in it, hence the 4. Steamed potstickers were delicious too. Might be back. read more

We've been going to Jimmy Thai for years and it's one of our family's favorite spots. Our kids (10 and 12) regularly request it when we go out to eat. The ramen is always a huge hit, whether dining in or ordering takeout and the fried rice is excellent too. The servers are consistently friendly and welcoming, and it's always nice seeing Jimmy himself bopping around the restaurant checking on patrons. We especially love going for an early dinner when tennis is on the TVs. Great food, great atmosphere, and always a reliable family favorite. read more

Did a large carryout order here for a dinner for a group. The order was easy to place and the food was delicious. The only downside was that the food was packed in their own trays but they didn't have disposable boxes to transport the food in but their own box which would have to return later. We ordered beef pad see ew, shrimp pad Thai, and basil dish for the trays of food. These were generous portions with the trays being filled to the brim and saran wrapped and covered. We also had entree sized orders of green curry, panang curry and chicken fried rice. The pricing too is pretty good in comparison to other Thai places in the area. read more

I have been coming here for years and I've never had a bad meal. Jimmy Thai is located in a mall with plenty of parking, however it does get very busy during lunch hour, I usually try to beat the lunch rush by coming in at 1PM. Inside there's plenty of spaces with a bar. You'll most likely be greeted by the owner with a friendly smile. You'll be given a complimentary bottled water which is so refreshing because some places give you smelly tap water. The food is a cross between Thai food and Japanese ramen. I usually alternate between the lunch special and the Ramen. The lunch specials are a great deal and the ramen is awesome on cold days. The Ramen is really good I always opt out for the spicy tonkotsu with pork. The broth is nice and thick and flavorful and the noodles and pork are great as well. This is a grat spot to dine in for some asian dishes and the service is second to none. read more

Love Jimmy Thai! This is our go to Thai food in the area. The owner and staff are so kind and generous. We mostly do take out but have eaten there a few times and the staff is really accommodating to kids. We always order the same dishes but I do want to branch out and try new things! read more

Another excellent meal at Jimmy Thai. This time had the pad thai and it was wonderful. Service here was very attentive and food came to the table quickly. Portion was very generous, which was perfect since I was really hungry having skipped lunch and had a minimal breakfast. Will be back now that I've tried one of their thai dishes after a nice bowl of ramen last time. read more

Had a great meal last night. Potstickers first followed by shrimp pad Thai. Excellent quality, food came out fast and the service was very friendly. Highly recommend this place! read more

The food is flavorful, yummy and it leaves you wanting more and the restaurant was packed which is always a good sign!

It had been awhile since we've had dinner here and once again, JT didn't disappoint! We waited a few minutes to be seated (the place was packed) and the server came out right away. The food came out piping hot and quickly too. The best Basil chicken I've had -- this has become my go to dish here. Along with tofu pad Thai and the Thai spring rolls, it was a delightful dinner. Solid service and prices make this a top Thai choice in the area. read more

One of our favorites to go to for carry out. The surface is always super quick and food fresh and yummy! Their curry dishes are my favorite!

I have been meaning to try Jimmy Thai for quite some time as I think it is one of the last restaurants in Deerfield that I haven't tried. But it has just never worked out for whatever reason. Perhaps since they are closed on Sundays and we often seem to go out for dinner on Sundays. I haven't had Thai food in a good while but I recall the last Thai food I had to be underwhelming with the food not being nearly as flavorful as I had hoped. Thankfully, that was not the case at Jimmy Thai. I ordered some Chicken Pad Thai and it was quite flavorful and very enjoyable. My wife ordered the Beef Pad See Ew and it was also very good. I had a bite of my daughter's Tofu Golden Noodles and liked that too. We were greeted quickly when we arrived. We were also given a few bottles of water right away which seemed a little strange to me but they were nice and cold so that worked for me. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. There was plenty of seating inside and plenty of parking outside. I can't really think of anything that we weren't pleased with. We enjoyed our dining experience and plan on coming back. read more

We have takeout orders from Jimmy Thai several times and are very pleased with the experiences. Most recently, we had Pad Thai with tofu, Pad See Ew with beef, and Thai Fried Rice with shrimp - all popular Thai favorites, and the restaurant did a great job in their preparations, with fresh ingredients and balanced flavors! The Pad Thai with tofu had a good balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. The noodles and tofu had a good texture, and everything tasted fresh! I appreciated the hearty, slightly smoky flavor and chewy wide noodles in their Pad See Ew with beef. However, the beef was slightly overcooked and could be a little more tender. The quality and texture of the shrimp in the Thai Fried Rice was excellent, everything was so fresh and tasty, the overall balance of ingredients was done perfectly! What was great was that our food was still hot after the 10-minute ride home! When I called the restaurant to ask a few questions before I placed the order, I believed it was Jimmy on the phone. Although he was very busy at the time, he was very patient and friendly in answering me. He also advised that the 10% discount and complimentary food promotion could not be mixed, you could pick either one of the two. Since we had already ordered a lot of food (portions are good), we went with the 10% discount. All we needed to do was to pick the "cash option", then went in the restaurant to pay with our credit card, and they adjusted the amount upon us showing them the discount on our phone. Everything went smoothly. They have a big extensive menu, and we would love to try their ramen and other Thai dishes next time as well! They are sure in our takeout rotation! read more

Jimmy Thai in Deerfield is a hidden gem that offers a delightful range of Thai dishes as well as Ramen noodles. We have ordered carry-outs from Jimmy Thai a number of times. Most recently, we had Pad Thai with Tofu, Pad See Ew with beef, and Thai Fried Rice with shrimp to go. The Pad Thai at Jimmy Thai is a masterpiece of balance and texture. The noodles are perfectly cooked, not too soft or chewy. The dish is slightly tangy with a hint of sweetness, complemented by the crunch of fresh bean sprouts and the nutty undertone of crushed peanuts. The Pad See Ew with beef is a comforting, hearty dish that showcases the restaurant's expertise in stir-frying. The broad rice noodles are slightly charred, giving them a smoky flavor that pairs wonderfully with the savory soy sauce. The beef is cooked to perfection. Jimmy Thai's Thai Fried Rice with shrimp is a standout for its simplicity and depth of flavor. The rice is light and fluffy, and the shrimp are cooked just right, maintaining their natural sweetness and a slight snap. Its carry-out service is impressive, making it a reliable option for those nights when you crave quality Thai food at home. The ordering process is smooth and efficient, whether you place your order online or over the phone. The staff is prompt and courteous, often going the extra mile to ensure that your order is accurate and that you have everything you need for a satisfying meal at home. Tip - if you check in Jimmy Thai using the Yelp app, you would get a 10% discount. To get the discount for ordering carry-out on line, you have to pick the pay by cash option. This doesn't mean that you have to pay by cash. Instead of using credit card to pre-pay during the online ordering process, you have to pay at the restaurant when you pick up the order (using credit card or other means), show them the 10% discount coupon on your phone from the Yelp app and they would adjust the bill accordingly. Suggestion to Yelp or Jimmy Thai on the offering of discount to Yelp members. Instead of using the electronic coupon and pay at the restaurant, may be Yelp members can be provided with a promotion code when they order online. We can then input the promotion code and pay with our credit card during the online ordering process. This will make the ordering process more streamlined, and we don't need to pay at the restaurant. read more

Love coming to Jimmy Thai! Every visit I always have a delicious meal and the owner, Jimmy, is truly the sweetest. He loves building relationships with his customers and is truly grateful to everyone who walks in. We ordered the panang noodles and swapped the crispy noodles it usually comes with for a wide pad see ew type of noodle. We also ordered the green curry with beef. Both dishes were delicious! read more

This spot is nestled in a large plaza with a huge parking lot that's somehow always packed with cars, probably due to the DMV being in the same plaza. Stopped in for a quick lunch on a weekday, I was sat immediately by Jimmy himself. He was so welcoming and friendly, really put a pep in my step! My server was great too, took my order in a timely manner. The portion was great for the lunch prices, I still had leftovers. My beef pad see ewe and dumplings were very tasty. Thai iced tea was also excellent. I will absolutely be back! read more

Jimmy Thai is one of my favorite Thai restaurants! I've never been disappointed when coming here. The flavors are top notch and exactly what you'd expect ordering high quality Thai food. The weekday lunch special is a great deal! My favorites are the panang curry and pad see ew. The parking lot can be busy as it is located right next to the DMV. read more

If Jimmy Thai ever leaves Deerfield I really don't know what I'll do! This place is so reliably good every time. The staples like Pad Thai and Crab Rangoon are just so good, but I try to be adventurous and try new stuff all the time. Never had a bad dish. I eat a lot of tofu as my protein and they do a great job with making the tofu the perfect texture. My favorite is probably the Pad Siew with tofu. Can't recommend this place enough and the customer service is top notch. read more

When you're here, you're family. Really. This isn't the old Olive Garden slogan, it's real. Jimmy is the warmest host and the great food is the cherry on top. read more

I can be a creature of habit. Here is my usual Jimmy Thai order: - chicken potstickers - fried. These are crispy, filled with chicken and served with a delicious dipping sauce. - Ramen with tonkotsu broth and pork chashu slices. I changed it up ever so slightly by ordering it "skinny" which is less noodles and more veggies. This is also topped with a perfectly done 1/2 egg. What elevates this ramen is the delicious flavorful broth. It's rich and (not too) salty and perfect with the ramen, bok choy and tender pork. Perfect meal for a chilly fall evening that warms you up from the inside. It's staffed by friendly staff and the very welcoming proprietor, Jimmy, who seems to know everyone and have a word with everyone. The Thai food is pretty good, too! read more

Ordered Jimmy Thai for dinner tonight and was really impressed. We ordered the green curry, Pad Khee Mao and Pad Thai for mains and ordered crab Rangoon as an app. Since we hit a certain order total, they included potstickers as well! All the food was tasty and met the spice request we had put in. The owner, Jimmy was super friendly when I came in to pick up my food and was thanked us for supporting his business. Looked like they were really busy for dine in as well, but he was still taking time to ask people how everything was and thanking them on their way out. Definitely a business I'll continue to support. read more

I been meaning to post my review of Jimmy Thai! Soo let me get into it! The food was amazing! It reminded me of my time when I was in Thailand and I had Thai food. The quality at Jimmy Thai is off the charts. Perfect balance of seasoning and heat! And the veggies were perfectly cooked! That is hard to find at some places. The service was unlike any place I have been. The waitress checked in often and was accommodating as my friend took some time to arrive. And the owner even came out to greet my friend who he knew. Super friendly gentleman! The atmosphere was great really felt at home sitting there having dinner. Overall, I would say give JT a try if you haven't had good Thai food! read more

Jimmy Thai - Thai Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

After hearing high praise we had guarded optimism this place would hit the spot..... very kind owner but the food was nothing special. Although Thai places aren't known for egg rolls these were a 1 or 2.... Filo dough type crust and vegetable mush inside. I didn't take off for this. The pot stickers were awful- little meat ball inside an oversized slimy dough pocket. Seemed like sat for a while.... Pad Thai had great flavor and lots of chicken but it was dry. Had to add panang sauce to spice it up. And the Kang Panang had great flavor but almost no chicken! Lots of broccoli and green peppers but not enough meat. The flavor was nice though. Not sure what the big attraction is here so we'll keep hunting and will not return. read more

Ramen in the wintertime - the best thing you can have! Also make it spicy (or on the side) for that special kick.

Visiting my corporate headquarters in Deerfield and found this little hole on the wall Thai restaurant. Had good reviews. Was meeting a colleague for a beer and apps. First of all they only serve beer and wine. Really is a hole in the wall kinda place. Ordered a Sapporo and this ice tea. I know I like the caffeine and alcohol to mix in my system. Ordered the potstickers, chicken satay and shrimp shumai. The satay and potstickers were great. The shrimp shumai seems a bit too fishy. And looked like there were frozen. Everything I saw passing me looked very good. Will definitely try it again. read more

Their staff is very kind and very professional and most of all they make you feel very welcome.

This is a great little a Thai restaurant. This was our 2nd time and it didn't disappoint. Ambiances are low key but, it works. Family friendly restaurant and also like the fact they have reasonable hours so the staff could get to there family on time. Food is absolutely delicious sticks the authentic flavors. We were party of four and we all had enjoyed our food. One of the dish off, the Golden noodles with Shrimp, it has eggs in it but didn't expect it to be very egg forward! read more

Good quality and good value. We were surprised when we walked in at how many other diners were having dinner on a Tuesday evening. The feel of the place is one big room with plenty of tables that get filled with patrons (so we waited in a couple of chairs by the entrance for 5 mins for a table to open up). We just moved to the area and were on a hunt for our new local Thai place, and I think we've found a great staple to add to our list of regulars. I ordered what I always get when trying a new Thai place, and my husband did the same - cashew tofu and pad see ewe beef. We also ordered a side of fried rice. We ordered both main entrees to be on the spicy side, but found we needed to add to it ourselves, which the waitress brought to our table in the form of spices and sambal oelek (Thai chili paste). We appreciated that we could customize our entrees to fit our own spice preferences, though my husband said his was fine as it was made. Our food was made quickly and delivered to our table fast, so we didn't have to wait long. We also liked the short list of traditional Thai and Japanese beers, though we missed our usual favorite for Thai dine-in: plum wine. Otherwise, the wine selection is very straightforward: a cab, another table red, and a couple of white table wines. read more
