    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.

    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.

    Spicy tonkotsu ramen with pork

    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.

    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.

    Basil Chicken

    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.

    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.

    Thai Fried Rice with shrimp
    Kitty L.

    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!

    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.

    Green curry and panang noodles
    Gabby G.

    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!

    Does your red and green curry have fish base? Could it be made vegetarian (no fish sauce) with tofu?

    Thank you for your question. We use in our curry sea salt, and upon request we can put fish sauce.

I wasn't sure what to get and he provided me with lots of suggestions. I can never decide what to eat and was bouncing between thai or ramen. As I was waffling, Jimmy was saying farewell to what are likely loyal customers and it's clear he's a neighborhood fave! (I was honestly stunned by how many people he was genuinely talking to!) Jimmy could tell I was struggling and asked me if I wanted to sample the ramen. Whaaa...?! Hell yeah! I took him up on the offer and he brought out this goodness in a bowl. (See photo. This is a full on mini serving in my book...not a sample!) I was sold and now I'm waiting for my full order of this ramen with char siu to go back to my hotel and enjoy it! Btw, they trained on making the ramen at a ramen institute in Torrance, CA. That happens to be a few cities from where I live and I know there's a lot of good Japanese food in the area (after all, Toyota used to be HQ'd there and Honda is still there.) I'm glad I stopped in to meet Jimmy, his wife and the kind staff. If you're a local, you likely know the place. If you're visiting (like me), stop in. Jimmy will make you feel at home!

It is sharing space with Jimmy Thai and the signage outside is for Jimmy Thai. When we arrived we were quickly seated and given two menus. One for Jimmy Thai and one for Ramen Time. We were also given one plastic bottle of water per a person. The ramen menu allows you to choose a broth, protein and add-ons. The bowl comes with a molten egg and vegetables that usually come with ramen. I got the skinny option which was half the portion of noodles and additional vegetables in addition to a protein and molten egg. The ramen was good. The egg was a bit overcooked and one of the vegetables was thick chunks of green pepper which was good but different. The price was reasonable. If you are in the area and enjoy ramen give it a try.

The Megrulian Khachapuri is traditional Georgian flat bread, made from a yeast dough and baked with a savory cheese filling, and a second layer of cheese baked on top.
