    I have not seen many Thai buffets. JK's Thai Buffet is one of the few, and it is always welcoming, a small quiet restaurant in the bustling neighborhood of Broken Arrow. Due to being niche in the restaurant market, it also operates at niche hours, Monday - Saturday 11 AM - 2 PM, 5-7 PM. This is a great strategic move to ensure the food is always fresh and not wasting food as it's not busy. For $14.99 a person, it's an AYCE Thai buffet. There are very limited entrees compared to Chinese buffet, 19 entrees to be exact. Most entrees are good, and a few are bad (the Tom Yum Gai and dumplings). The chicken satay, chicken curry, and cucumber salad are great. The banana in coconut milk is also good but adding sticky rice to it makes it divine. As with any buffet, expect some ingredients to be cut back, and the entrees to look very basic. However, the taste of the food won't be compromised. One of my favorite buffets just behind Won and Tandoori Guys. I would highly recommend. Just know that the food tastes better than it looks.

    I love the food at this great little buffet. You don't have to order the buffet, but it's definitely worth it. The food is fresh and if it runs low, they always accommodate. The staff treat you like family. Highly recommend the chicken pate on the buffet totally delicious. Tips make sure you pay cash.

    My friend and I went here last night for dinner. We got there right when they open at 5 PM. It's a very small buffet and not a lot of food options but everything on the buffet was good quality and good food there were a couple dishes that the chicken was overcooked, but I enjoyed almost everything I had. it is $15 which is a bit much I feel for the variety of food they're offering, But it was a good dinner and the only Thai buffet I know of in town.

    Chicken, pot stickers, Pad Thai and yellow. Hi Ken curry.

    I used to go here pretty frequently before the pandemic and this was my first time back in over a year. I hate to say it, but judging from this visit, it's not as good as it used to be. It was at lunch time, and things on the buffet appeared to be fresh but it just didn't taste that great. I'll be trying again, though. Because when it's good (and it normally is), it's REALLY good. The chicken, pot stickers and Pad Thai are the best hot items. The yellow chicken curry is pretty good, too. My favorite thing there is the bananas in coconut milk. I could overdose on that. A good place, just an off day. Give them a try.

    Winner of Spike's two-star Good Year Award! It was time for some take out Asian and there is not a better place to go in Broken Arrow than to JK's Thai Buffet. I loved the service! Order over the phone, pay over the phone, pull up front and a nice lady brings the fresh hot food out to my car. She is wearing gloves and a mask and the restaurant's most recent Yelp health score is 81! Fantastic! On the ride home, my car was filled with the most delicious aromas of basil garlic and a hint of curry! I couldn't wait to get home and enjoy the fresh hot Thai Garlic Pepper Chicken and the Pad Kee Mao! And, it was fantastic! The menu at JK's is not big, but what they do serve is fresh and delicious.

    Amazing food and service . One of the restaurants here in Broken Arrow - be sure to taste the Coconut Soup, Satay Chicken, Tapioca and Bananas and Coconut over Sticky Rice

    Rice isn't out on the buffet, but you can request a bowl

    I never knew I was a fan of Thai food until I had JK's. This family-owned restaurant is a gem of a restaurant, with fresh, authentic food and friendly service. First, the food is delicious. The buffet may seem small, but each item is a winner. My personal favorites are: 1. The chicken satay - the chicken is never dry, and there's a creamy, peanut sauce for dipping (or dousing). 2. The Thai pork dumplings - each one is a delicious homemade dumpling! 3. The curry puffs - a crispy shell surrounds creamy potato curry. Ahhh, the textural contrast. 4. Tom kha gai - this soup is light but loaded with chicken and mushrooms. There's a perfect balance of lemongrass and coconut. 5. The desserts! - I always eat a lot of the savory dishes, but then I regret it because I don't have enough room for the dessert. Both the bananas in coconut milk and the tapioca in coconut milk are cool, sweet, and creamy. The bananas in coconut milk, especially, is like drinking a tropical vacation. The only downside to having such good food is that some items run out quickly. I've literally seen someone take all the pad Thai in one go. It's kind of irksome to wait for items to be replenished, but the buffet is always quickly restocked, and it's a true testament to how good the food is. Second, the service is super friendly! The workers are always so nice and helpful when I ask for a bowl of rice or sweet chili sauce. My water glass never runs empty, and my mountain of buffet plates never gets too high. They really create a welcoming, friendly atmosphere for diners. TL;DR: JK's is one of my favorite restaurants for its delicious food and friendly staff. Save room for the bananas in coconut milk!

    Great food and great service. Chicken sate skewers and peanut sauce are a must. The sticky rice was a wonderful way to end the meal.

    This is now going to be my new go to place for Thai. I had the pad Thai with chicken, I really…read moreliked it was saucy with just a hint of sweet. The proportion size was plenty and probably could've even been a split between two. Very nice Service I highly recommend you give this place to try

    Thai Taste appears to be a family owned restaurant. It is small, clean, and nicely decorated to…read moregive it a pleasant ambiance. The chairs are comfortable. We received excellent service. There's plenty of parking in back. Their menu was a little confusing. Beside the dishes that are commonly served with rice such as curry, there was a hand written notation of the price of rice. We thought this meant that rice didn't come with the dish and you had to pay extra for it. We ordered a noodle dish so we wouldn't have to pay extra. The owner contacted me and explained that the curries came with rice. The notations of cost of rice was in case someone wanted to order extra rice. Now that we know rice comes with entrees such as curries, we will go back and try some of their other dishes such as Korean. I would recommend adding adding "extra rice" to the notation to avoid confusion. The Pad Thai was okay. It wasn't the best Pad Thai I've had, but it wasn't the worst, either. It was $11.99 and did not come with anything else such as soup, salad, or egg roll. The portion was fairly small. The noodles were a little more done than we like. I imagine if one were to order the noodles al dente, that they would accomodate. I would offer 2 suggestions. First just add the word "extra" to the notations about the cost of rice to let people know the price is only in case someone wants to order an extra serving of rice. Also, there was a hand written note on the door stating that restrooms are only for customers. I don't know if that was done because they've had a problem with non-customers using their restaurant or just preventative measures, but we found that off putting. My husband commented, "cranky owners," when he saw it. If they feel they must have such a notice on their door, perhaps they could make it smaller and more professional. It was hand written on a sheet of typing paper and taped to the door crooked. I look forward to trying one of their other dishes.
