    The best food in town. Not even close!!!!! We had hot pot here one night and it was Amazing!

    Angry Chicken and Fried Rice
    Vivian T.

    Love the food here! Everything we ordered has been great so far. Great service and very fast. Located in Kaleidoscope Mall. My only complaint is that they aren't open longer hours. The Food: Fried Rice (any meat) (4/5) Angry Stir fry (any meat) (4/5) Both dishes were delicious and worth trying at least once cause I'm sure you'll go back for more! The Angry was perfectly angry and not too pissed off. Great portions as well! Always a stop for us every time we eat at kaleidoscope.

    Thai yellow curry with chicken
    Mary M.

    I literally eat here every day of the week. Wednesday is spicy yellow curry special. I get it with no rice, extra vegetables, and tofu. It is SO good. It's not like normal curry and if you are afraid of curry try this because it was my first curry ever and I loved it. You can sample the sauce too. It's available everyday of the week you just have to ask for it. Friday is spicy glazed salmon special. It's another one of my favorites and is healthy. I always ask for extra veggies no rice. Pad thai is a little dry, but still good. Ask for some of the spring roll sauce to pour over it. They have the best spring roll sauce around. Fried rice is amazing but a little expensive for being mainly just a bigger side dish.

    Spicy Thai Basil.  Pretty darn good.
    Dmitriy N.

    I just moved downtown for work. This was the first place I tried in the skywalk. It's a fast food type of Thai joint with low prices, and for what you pay it's pretty darn good. I got their Spicy Thai Basil dish and an order of spring rolls. The main dish came with a large scoop of rice and plenty of meat and vegetables. Everything looked fresh and vegetables were crunchy and not overcooked and mushy like some fast food places make them. Food was flavor packed. The spring rolls were good also. They only had pork left when I got some so supplies are limited. I'll probably come here for lunch plenty of times. I'd recommend it to anyone that craves rice with stir fry.

    JJ Jasmine is in the skywalk so it's convenient for people working in the area. Usually the line is pretty short, if there is one, except right around noon. They serve several thai dishes with choice of chicken, pork, beef, or tofu, so lots of great options for vegetarians. I'm a fan of the Pad Thai. The spring rolls are tasty too.

    Drunken noodles
    Kimann H.

    If you work downtown or happen to be there around Lunch this place is a must try!!! If you love Thai food then come here. Their dishes are spot on, food fresh and hot, and service is awesome! A couple of my favorite dishes are the eggplant stirfry, angry chicken, combo lad na and off the menu drunken noodles! Food prices are definitely reasonable for lunch and you get a good portion size. If you like spicy food you can let the chef know or you can add it on the side with their self serve condiment area. I do both!! Love spicy!!!

    Yellow curry?!
    Jeff S.

    Asked for a yellow curry...and got a pile of veggies and chicken in a weird brown sauce. Never doing this again.

    Hot n sour soup with jj jasmine chicken fried rice.
    Krishna N.

    Not a great place to eat thai food. But good for hot and sour soup. Angry chicken is their special but I find nothing special about it. Can give it a try. Dont complain if you ain't satisfied.

    Beef Fried Rice...tasty!
    Jon W.

    Ok I stopped by again, so now this is my 3rd time here...and 3rd time was the charm lol. I ordered the fried rice with beef only this time and I'm going to upgrade my rating to 4 stars now. Even though the fried rice is more of a Chinese fried rice dish rather a Thai dish, it tasted very good. It wasn't as greasy this time either. Plus they give you a lot of food for under $7. The lady in front is also very nice. She apologized to me when my food took a little longer than expected, but it really didn't take that long. So if you're in the mood for some good fried rice....stop by JJ Jasmine and give it a try!

We came in around the end of their lunch special so it was a little busy. Goes to show they're pretty popular and get a lot of regulars! The ambiance is pretty open and had a lot more room than I expected! I ordered the pad Thai with beef, which is one of their lunch specials. I asked for level 2 spice but I didn't notice anything when I ate it. I did hear it kinda varies depending on the staff so maybe I need to order a higher level. Otherwise the food was pretty good and a great spot for lunch!

I used to go to that restaurant once a week. That restaurant is the mother ship.. I would rotate between Cafe Fusion and Thai Flavors. Liam has become quite a entrepreneur of Thai restaurants he is the major owner of Cool Basil Banana leaf, and Thai Flavors on Ingersoll. He is really worked hard to have very large restaurants that serve delicious Thai food. It's conveniently located along East 14th in a strip mall with limited parking It can be a busy place so depending on the time of day lunch or dinner you may have to walk a little from your parking spot to the restaurant. The restaurant is clean and.older but the food is still great It is similar menu items to his other restaurants. On this particular day I had red curry chicken, I.have had it at all his restaurants and it's consistently good. I always like to support a locally owned business. Liam has developed quite a system and serving large amount of people at all his restaurants although the East 14th restaurants still has that old mom and pop kind of feel. When he first opened this first restaurant there were not that many Thai restaurants around town. Now he's open many himself and there are other many quality Thai food restaurants around town I think all of his restaurants have some healthier menu including fresh vegetable dishes. I believe they all have vegan dishes as well. Of course the restaurant has pot stickers basil stir fry, pad thai, and other traditional Thai restaurant dishes. There is lots of variety in the menu. It's also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. Having said that the service was fast and efficient . It's also about being realistic about the food. The food was served quick and hot. I would definitely check this place out. If you're in the area it's well worth a visit It was fun to visit an old neighborhood friend

The food was fresh and made to order. We started with Chicken Satay, then shared the Pineapple Delight and General Tao Chicken. All of the food was excellent. But, if you are waffling on an appetizer - get the Satay! And, with your last bites, roll up the chicken, sauce and salad into the lettuce - to die for! Seemed like too much sauce when they brought it, but we scraped the bowl clean. The main dishes were more than plenty of food, plus they were flavorful and fresh. Since we shared and have different spice preferences, they brought us a small bit of pepper to up the spice to our liking. I wish that were in a shaker, but that's literally the only thing I would change. Staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. To top it off - mints on the way out the door (I don't know why that always makes me happy, but it does.) If we lived in Des Moines, we would frequent them enough that they would know our names.

The ONE restaurant that even though it doesn't have the best service sometimes, we would ALWAYS come back. Time after time, all because the food is that darn good. The service is great now but they may not always pick up the phone line. ‍ we put up with it They serve Lao/Thai food and it's always on point. I always, always get the: Angry Fried Catfish- 10/10. They are the ones who originated this "angry" style dish here and I don't care what anyone says, no one makes it better. They can make it good, just not better. Angry Beef/Chicken/Pork Stir-Fry- 10/10. This dish has the same name as the fish, but a totally different sauce. I recommend getting both the Catfish and a meat stir-fry dish. Sometimes it may be more pissed off and sometimes it may be just sort of angry at you. Chicken wings- 10/10. Lightly marinated with a delicious flavor and deep-fried. Simple yet good Crab Rangoons- 10/10. Sweet style and I love it. Combo Fried Rice- 10/10. Great flavors Combo Pad Se Ew- 20/10. Legit my fave Pad Se Ew in the metro. (It's not pictured here because I got a different noodle dish for my son) These are the other dishes I will sometimes get but are always good too: Beef Laap- One of the national dishes of Laos. Beef Salad Papaya Salad- Lao-style here Nuur Nam Tok- Marinated Steak with a great dipping sauce Panang Beef- one of my fave Panang in the metro, next to Lucky Lotus Oyster Beef- delicious and perfect for the littles when they come to eat with us Combo Lad Na- delicious noodle dish with gravy over (this is the noodle dish pictured that our son ordered today) Seriously, everything is great here. Hope you get to try it out next time you're on the Southside of DSM.
