Lunch prices.  Full sized portions! Yum and a great deal!
Laura F.

This restaurant is near my mom's apartment. Which is how I discovered it. It's in the big shopping center on the corner of Kenny and Olentangy but it's in the smaller middle complex that's next to Wendy's It always has really soothing music. It's decorated nicely and the hostess is really friendly. The food is fantastic! I'm trying to order something different every time I go in They have lamb dumplings that are out of this world good I did not get them this time This time Ingot their eggplant and added chicken. Soooo good Actually it was so good I forgot to take a picture! I think this is my new favorite place. Yum

Delicious hand pulled noodle dishes and skewers. Name your spicy level. The flavors are amazing in their dishes.

The pad Thai was average not memorable for me. Why? Because I had better. I can see if you have not why you might really like it. The atmosphere was perfect. The service was perfect. The food wasn't. I do recommend visiting if it's your first time getting pad Thai. For me the flavor was weak. If you do try the pad Thai combo which has everything in it. Everything else was perfect. They even have plastic strips on the door because they get a lot of takeout and this keeps the place at a good temp. Our server name was Maddy and she was excellent. Ask for her if you go.

Biang Biang Noodle
Debbie C.

We ordered carry-out at Jui Thai on a Monday and ordered the biang biang noodles based on previous recommendations. The restaurant had a decent number of customers before noon and the service was kind and efficient. The ambiance provided an open concept with brighter lighting, nice but not a place for an intimate, quiet dinner. Perfect for lunch. The noodles are homemade, so good! We couldn't finish them the first day and they were honestly better the second day. The beef was good but the noodles stole the show. They had a "bouncy" , chewy texture that you can only get with homemade. I want to go back and try some of the other dishes, but you will not be disappointed with the noodles.

Fantastic hand pulled noodles that are absolutely worth the up charge to substitute them for rice. Be careful on the dumplings. I ordered the shrimp and dumplings and I thought they would be 6.95, and they ended up being $14. I'm wondering if there are two on the menu. But I was looking at the appetizer ones.

Love their super simple set-up yet you get the most delicious dishes! It was my first time trying their biang biang noodles (one of the most popular items. It made me appreciate hand pulled noodles. Despite having minimal broth, this dish is so flavorful. I was still craving the dish 30 mins after I left the restaurant. The noodles have the perfect combination of gummy and soft. Most hand-pulled noodles I tried don't absorb flavor but these are so tasty. The golden braised beef noodle is also my new favorite. Perfect for a cold winter. The beef pieces are soft, fatty, and just melts in your mouth. I didn't try the pad Thai but my friend said it was good. Their dumplings are abot that exceptional but it's definitely different. It can be a full meal, having 15 pcs in one serving. I like the ambiance being simple, nothing fancy but clean. Service is straightforward, fast and friendly. I'll surely keep coming back

Wonton soup

We had a quick lunch for the first time here and the food was a little different than we expected, but everything was interesting-good. Nothing we had tasted spicy, but had a good flavor. The wonton soup is different than other places with a little bit more of a fish sauce under town to it. The wontons were really good and the dumpling dough around it was delicate and well-made. The biang biang beef was the winner with the extremely long hand pulled noodles. Most of the flavor being on top, including a drizzle of black vinegar at one zone discretion. Even though it looked like a lot of chili flakes and chili oil, it was not hot at all. The Tiger tofu cubes were quite big and, as often happens, the vegetables were still pretty hard and crispy, but the tofu was super soft inside the temporal like batter. The sauce threw me a little bit because it was more sweet and sour versus what I thought might be spicy given the name, tiger sauce. Anyway, we'll come back and try other things like the Mapo tofu, and the skewers which looked like a popular choice among the other diners, which included families with kids. The space is minimalist but the service was fantastic. No alcohol, but lots of various teas and other drink drinks.

It makes me feel bad to write this because the atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and the staff was great. The food brought the rating down for me significantly, as I ended up leaving most of my meal uneaten. The best way I could describe the meal was that the entree had way too much of one flavor and the dessert had absolutely no flavor at all. The vegetarian biang biang noodles were completely soaked in hot chili oil. Tofu was undercooked and unseasoned. The dish had no flavor other than uncomfortable heat. The tiramisu crepe cake had the consistency of chewing on play dough. It did not taste like tiramisu or really like anything at all. So disappointing.

4.5. Located in the shopping center near Micro Center plaza, I was drawn to this restaurant by their offering of hand-pulled noodles. The tables/chairs and space is typical of a Chinese carry out. You're not coming for the ambiance. I would say it's a very cold restaurant due to the small area and proximity to the outside door. Make sure you wear a heavy sweater or like eating in your coat The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful explaining the menu and are clearly proud of their food and enjoy what they do. The food is outstanding. The pulled noodles are made in house. They are soft and have a good chew. They also make their own wontons. We tried three things: The Baing Biang is really good. Reminded me of some of the flavors of a pho, but the noodles really shine. Listed as spicy, you can have the chili oil on the side and and as much of that and the black vinegar as you like. The Peking Zhajiang Noodle is another dry dish that is milder and has a savory beef sauce, cucumbers and cilantro. I added a bit of chili oil to make it spicy. The sauce did not detract from the noodles. So good! If you like wonton soup, you will appreciate the freshness of the wontons and the greens. Our friend had the Dragon Eye stretch noodle served in a broth with a fried egg and subbed in beef-- which she loved. Great experience! We recommend!

I've ordered take out here a few times, I cannot get those hand pulled noodles out of my head. I always order extra noodles because they give you so much broth to go with it (or at least they do when it's packaged to go). My order is always ready very quickly and if you're really wanting to go above and beyond add a slice of their crepe cake! I've had the chocolate and the earl grey, the texture is phenomenal and they taste really good without being too heavy or too sweet.

I've ordered many things from here before. I love their Pad Thai, Cold Bean Curd Dish, the Red Oil Beef, and Dumplings. For their deserts I highly recommend getting their tiramisu and dark chocolate crepe cakes! You won't be disappointed! I feel like there are so many yummy options that you couldn't go wrong. When dining in, our server was kind, friendly, helpful, and informative when it came to ordering.

Red Oil Lamb Hand Stretch Noodle
Emily Z.

The hand pulled noodles are the star of the show! We loved the red oil lamb hand pulled noodles. The dragon eye stretch noodles are also a good choice is your like your soup a little more sour. The lamb sandwich is super tender and flavorful, highly recommend! Good service and pretty clean establishment. The wait staff walked us through the menu and their specialty hand pulled noodles.

Biang Biang Noodle
Eve R.

Was craving some hand pulled noodles to celebrate lunar new year and Jiu Thai was the answer! It had been a long time since my last visit, but was so happy the food was just as delicious as I remembered. Friendly, helpful server greeted us and we sat at a little 4-top in the middle. It wasn't busy at all, but we came at a weird middle-of-the-day time. Ordered pan fried dumplings, dragon eye noodles, and biang biang noodles. Everything was fresh and delicious. Biang biang noodle is my favorite and today it slapped. Perfect balance of tang, spice, fresh, and chewy noodles. It's such a perfectly balanced plate, it's hard to order anything else! Hubs ordered the dragon eye noodle soup and it was light, delicious, and a huge portion of hand-pulled noodles. Pan fried dumplings were a perfect starter (6 pieces per order.) Only took off one star because the cafe itself is just left ok'ing a little worn around the edges. It could use a tiny bit of sprucing up and cleaning. Absolutely no shade tho. I still recommend it!

Food was awful. This restaurant doesn't have free refills so that is a big turn off. Almost all the food has vinegar, and I don't like that.

I opted for delivery and was looking for a quick soup. Another helpers picture caught my attention and they offered free delivery on dash. Food arrived really fast, piping hot, and was absolutely delicious. I had the Dapanji stirred noodles which was silky and smooth and packed with flavor. The chicken was chunks of thigh meat on the bone and had bell peppers and potatoes. Sounds simple but MAN! Delish! It also had fresh noodles in a separate container. I also ordered hot n sour just in case I didn't like it, and I tasted it but couldn't put the Dapanji down. Hot n sour was also fantastic (leftovers for lunch tomorrow!). The eggroll was so so fresh and crispy. Not oily at all and the texture of the meat (white meat chicken) and veggies was PERFECT! This was probably the best door dash meal I have ever had. I must try eating in the restaurant soon! Side note, they also packed everything in the cutest containers and included utensils (spoon, chopsticks, toothpick)

You order using a QR code at the table and the staff are attentive. The dining room is comfortable and medium sized and I've never had trouble finding a seat, though I do hear that sometimes business is bumping.

Quick and attentive service. We started with crispy dumplings (6), crispy egg rolls (2), and a scallion pancake. Bing, their crepe, wasn't available our night. My dining companions loved the pancake - for me perhaps a bit too much drizzled sauce. It was helpfully quartered when brought to the table so sharing was easy. The dumplings were indeed crispy and probably my favorite with a standard dark dipping sauce. The egg rolls were standard and perhaps a bit undersized and over fried, but a good creamy dipping sauce was a pivot away from the sweet chili sauce that usually accompanies such apps. Ramen is clearly the focus of the menu and three of us had ramen with chicken and one with pork. They spoke favorably of the broth and the combos of mushrooms, boiled egg, greens. I had the rice vermicelli with chicken that they called a salad. I was expecting the classic Vietnamese staple but this one had some adaptations, perhaps to a fusion or one might say less ethnic nod. Small things but the ample portion served in a small bowl made it hard to mix the rice noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber and chicken that is a common approach to the dish after drowning all the ingredients in both sweet sauce (nuoc cham), siracha and/or hoisin sauce. It only came with the nuoc cham. They brought Siracha when I asked for it, but I'm a fan of having these condiments on the table standard. Again, had the sense that the business lunch crowd that is probably the primary audience isn't likely to be as focused on the more authentic ingredients. The chicken was also not grilled and sliced but had a pleasant preparation. Just know it won't be the charred flavor that is so common. Finally, not to obsess on this one dish, but cutting the lettuce leaves more would enable easier chop sticks combos of the ingredients in single bites. Overall it worked for us. I am definitely the most focused on (my companions would say obsessed) on connection to what these dishes should be. If adaptations work well for you, Tiger+Lily likely will as well.

We were greeted and seated quickly and service was very friendly. As we were hungry, we took a mi Ute to decide what to order. We had planned on storm fish, but made a last minute decision to Sichuan sliced beef (we loveeee a numbing pepper!) with starts of egg roll and spicy wontons. Seriously those wontons are one of the best things in the whole city. They're SO good I could eat a few orders of those alone and be happy. Egg rolls are nice, but just a simple egg roll. Nicely crispy and tasty with the spicy mustard. The Sichuan sliced beef was the perfect thing for a chilly rainy dinner. We love spicy so I'm a bad judge of heat level, but this is spicy but a numbing spicy. Lovely spooned over steamed rice. The cabbage and bean sprouts were my favorite bits in this dish because they added a crunch. Might ask for extra next time!

Plus, I figured hibachi can take awhile, and I usually don't have a long time for lunch. Today I had a little more time, and I made a point to head over. It is a bit out of the commercial sprawl at the corner. Look for the food truck, that's the first thing I saw, and it helped me find where to turn in. I wasn't sure if there would be dine in, but there is, plenty of seating inside and out. Inside there are seats at the counter, plus booths, plus I think a couple tables. Menu is pretty basic: hibachi and a few sides. I got steak and chicken, with fried rice, and you pick two vegetables so I picked cabbage and bean sprouts. You get a Yum Yum sauce, and you can add others, but I didn't need them. And the sauce container they gave me was plenty big. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked, the chicken was tender and flavorful, cooked in a nice sauce. The fried rice was great. The vegetables were perfectly cooked. And it all came out in about five minutes. They had a steady stream of carry out customers, but they still got mine on the grill, apparently as soon as I ordered it. Fast and good, and competitively priced for hibachi. A big portion, but not a huge, two days' worth of leftovers portion. But I was stuffed and couldn't finish it all. When I saw the drink cooler with just water and a few juices, I figured I'd have to go with those, but they do have fountain drinks. And they actually have a pretty good variety, cola, diet cola, cream soda, blueberry, cherry I think, and a few others. Anyway, several pleasant surprises, the food lived up to its reputation, I was in and out fast, and for not a whole lot of money in this day and age. I will be back.
