Decided to have lunch at JK's today. Do not let the divey, dirty area dissuade you. This place is legitimate. I tried a few things on their buffet, but, was impressed with their Penang curry and dumplings. The yellow curry was not to my liking but, I would definitely give this place a try if you haven't. It's around 17.50 after tax. A decent spot for lunch if you love Thai. read more

The ONLY reason this isn't a five-star review is that I was a little disappointed in the quantity of different dishes offered for a buffet. Maybe my perception is tainted as I was a huge fan of the old Bangkok that was on Harvard in Tulsa and truly miss Pat and his family. That said, what is offered is GREAT, very tasty, and being gluten-free I appreciated that they identified what was off limits for me, which wasn't much. That was part of the reason I stopped here--there aren't a lot of things out there if you have food allergies unfortunately. It's apparent that it's a "cash preferred" place as the credit card machine wasn't working on my visit, but that won't keep me from returning the next time I'm in the area for lunch. read more

What a great local Thai Buffet! I'm not a big Thai food person but I really enjoyed the Thai food here. I was very impressed by how well everything was made here! It was awesome! The service here was great! The staff were all very kind. The only down side about this place was the inside. It was a little on the dirty side. Especially the bathroom. Good ambiance though. Overall, good place and I recommend it if you want to have good Thai food. read more

Possibly one of my favorite spots in broken arrow, this blink and you'll miss it mom and pop offers up family recipe Thai in small batches so it's pretty much always fresh. They offer the ability to purchase to go by the pound and have a catering menu as well. The buffet itself is not the largest but it hits all the right spots with something for everyone. You can taste the freshness and quality. Usually there's one or two of the family members tending to the dining room bussing tables and filling drinks which is more than enough. If you plan to go, if you want to safe a few $ bring cash, they charge a small fee to pass on credit card fees. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Very friendly to make sure you're well taken care of and their buffet is loaded with fresh items. Relaxed atmosphere.

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. read more

The food here is always fresh and amazing, the staff is friendly, attentive, and efficient.

First time here tonight and oh my goodness such an amazing experience. The food was hot and fresh with the staff constantly bringing our fresh food to the buffet. I loved everything I tried! Husband and I were already planning to eat there again next week! read more

Took an opportunity to dine with The Daughter over lunch, and we selected JK's. We're both avid Thai fans and both came away happy. The buffet isn't overly large, but all dishes hit the mark. As with any buffet, the food likely isn't on par with fresh prepared, but again, for a buffet, this one nailed it. I had more than enough choices to satisfy, and came away overstuffed, so that says a lot. Priced reasonably well, it's a place I would easily return to when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

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. read more

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. read more

JK's is a Broken Arrow staple that's been serving delicious Thai food for as long as I can remember (at least 10+ years!). The most popular dining option is the buffet (which is less than $10/adult all day), but they do also have a menu. Like other Yelpers have said, the buffet selection is small and they only make small portions at a time, but this means you get piping hot, freshly made food no matter what time you eat. The Tom Kha, chicken satay, and spring rolls are my faves! read more

If your craving authentic Thai food....this is it. Service was great. Plus, they make their own sweet chili sauce. I will admit that the buffet was a little small but everything on it was great! read more

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! read more

What an experience! And to think I never even knew this place existed. Their buffet is affordable and highly exceeds expectation. The atmosphere is nothing fancy. J is the owner and named the place after her mom, who cooks from her own recipes. Oh and you must try the sticky rice! It's a touch of sweet mixed with some heaven. read more

Not a very big buffet. Not enough selections. The satay chicken was good and the egg rolls. They have a spicy beef that's just the right amount of heat. The food I did eat was good. Not sure I'd go back again. read more

Delicious and unique food items on a very fresh buffet. Esp. loved the Chicken Satay. Great service. Broken Arrow is lucky to have this place. read more

Found this place on Yelp, and very glad we came! They offer a small but delicious buffet with plenty of fresh items- we couldn't stop eating! And despite coming early (around 5:15) and the dishes being set out, everything tasted wonderful and rivaled any other Thai in town. The small buffet style gets as close to "family style" as possible, where one is not limited to selecting one entree or appetizer. I got to enjoy chicken satay, spring rolls, soups, rice, pad Thai, 2 styles of curry, some fantastic beef, and dessert with sticky rice! I hope you visit and enjoy as much as we did- I'll definitely be returning! read more

Nice folks, very warm, friendly family restaurant featuring a small Thai bUffet which is a departure from the norm for Thai restaurants. The basics are all represented on the buffet but....it pains me to say the dishes whIle quite fresh are also quite lackluster. The lack of seasonings typical of Thai food strikes you instantly. The Tom Kha Gai (chicken coconut soup) wasn't recognizable as such. Just warm water, slightly curdled coconut milk and no flavor whatsoever. It pains me to write a lackluster review but this was disappointing front to back, but the staff were wonderfully warm. We'll check Back in a month to give it another chance, hopefully the normal chef had been abducted by aliens that day and returns later to restore the quality of food served. read more

Great place for Thai buffet. Very quiet and the owners are extremely friendly. The food is authentic. The buffet is extremely convenient, and made in small quantities so always fresh. read more

Small, humble buffet that has authentic Thai staples. The options on the buffet are kinda limited but everything is wonderful. The wait staff is attentive and polite with just the right amount of friendly banter. We went for an early dinner, there were 4 other tables with couples enjoying the buffet. 2 other guests came in to pick up to-go orders. The price is very reasonable, $14 per person for the buffet. I will be back. read more

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.

Hidden gem! Absolutely delicious! Small and simple buffet selection. Not a disappointment if looking for a friendly atmosphere and something tasty to eat. read more

This place hit the mark! Everything was delicious. The crab Rangoon egg roll is a fun take on a classic. The panang curry is subtly sweet with a light peanut flavor. Spices on the chicken satay are delicious. The Thai iced coffee and tea are both good, I couldn't choose! I ordered thru Grubhub and I only wished there would have been a way to customize my order because I am not a big fan of bean sprouts. Other than that, it was all really good! read more

Super yummy and the people are so kind here!!! The buffet style is just not my favorite. This place manly is catered towards buffet style. read more

This is a small but quaint place. Food was good a nice selection for me but not so much for my hungry husband. My family and I went during dinner time. My only complaint was they didn't replenish the food fast enough so every time we went up to the buffet something or another was empty. read more

This place was recommended by my spouse's coworker. I highly recommend it! It's one of those small, hole in the wall type places in a shopping center. The buffet is very small, but everything on it was so good! We will definitely be back if we come through again. The server was very nice as well! read more

This is one of those places you always mean to try, then when you do, you're like, "Why didn't we do this sooner?" I kept seeing a lot of positive Yelp buzz for this establishment, so we made it a point to try it out. The first thing I was impressed by was the friendliness and courtesy of the wait staff. They greeted us and talked with us, because this was our first visit. They even brought me out some extra spicy mixture to add my food. The buffet is done in small, fresh portions, which is great! The food was hot and you could taste the quality and care that went into each dish. I enjoyed every item that I tried, but to pick a few faves the yellow curry, pad Thai and chicken on a stick were all phenomenal! The price is also amazing for the quality and quantity of food. If you check in on Yelp there is a special $1 off your buffet price. We both left stuffed for about $20 after tip. That is a steal for a buffet! Really, I hate saying buffet. To me this is just amazing food served family style, you just have to go and get it from the buffet line. Go here the next chance you get you will be happy you did! read more

I wanted to like this because I love small buffets that make a small number of quality dishes. I would rather go to one of those buffets over a huge buffet with 100+ items that are bad/mediocre. Based on the reviews here, I was very hopeful. I came here on a weekday lunch after working a long night shift, so I was very excited. When I arrived, there was only one party of 3 or 4 eating there. The buffet was small and looked so depressing. There was so little amount of food per dish that I decided to pass on the buffet. I understand that with so few people eating, why have a fully stocked buffet? But that also means I was skeptical about how long that food was sitting out there. The trays had so little food in there that I thought they were closing down. I ended up ordering off the regular menu which was very limited. I ended up ordering fried rice was very bland and did not taste Thai at all. I think it was really overpriced for $9. I ended up bringing 2/3 of it home. I never really brought myself to finish it though. I do think that this place has excellent service though. I asked if pineapple was in the fried rice, but it wasn't, so they customized my order for me. I really appreciated their friendliness as well. I wanted to love this place, but I was just not impressed by the food. read more
