Entrees were Mongolian beef and Lo Mein combo with chicken and beef. Portion size has definitely shrunk. All food was served hot and nicely prepared.

After having a bad experience a couple months ago at Sorn Thai down the street (read my review) we…read moredecided to check out JaiWai. We had walked past it a few times in the past and had been wanting to try it out. The restaurant is small and non-assuming, but don't let that fool you. We opted for lunch with a couple friends and were not disappointed. Our server Mack greeted us as we arrived and quickly got us seated with menus and waters. I had heard that the Kao Soi was supposed to be really good, so I opted for that. My wife had her usual Pad Thai with chicken, our friends had Pad Krapow with pork and chicken Basil Fried Rice. Living in Thailand for 6 years as a kid, I pretty much know good Thai food, and I can tell you that all 4 dishes hit the mark. I tried tastes from all 4 dishes. The Pad Thai was served with crushed peanuts and a big slice of lime and was very flavorful, had the right amount of sauce, but probably could have used just a tad less sugar and a few more pieces of meat. The Basil Fried Rice was delicious. It had that "wok-fired" street food taste and was served with some sliced cucumber and a slice of lime. The only thing I would change is to leave the broccoli out. You don't typically see that in Thailand. The Pad Krapow had a spot-on taste associated with good Pad Krapow and did not disappoint. The only suggestion is to be sure and order it with a fried egg to make it more authentic. Last but certainly not least was my Kao Soi. Only recently becoming more popular here in the US, it is an egg noodle curry soup dish that originates from northern Thailand. I have had Kao Soi in restaurants in Chiang Mai, and I can tell you that JaiWai hit every mark with this one! Most impressive was the plate of condiments. It included a lime wedge for a little acidity to help brighten the flavor of the broth, chopped shallots for some freshness, and pickled mustard greens that really make a difference! They are tart and crunchy and help counter the richness of the broth, a component that's very important in Thai cuisine. And lastly, fried chili flakes. This is optional for those who want to add some heat to their bowl, but for me it is mandatory. I like my Thai food hot and spicy. The only suggestion I have for the Kao Soi is maybe top it with slightly less fried noodles. They were welcome, but just a tad difficult to mix them into the soup because of the amount. Mack did an amazing job serving us. He was very friendly and took the time to confirm our orders. So I highly recommend JaiWai and we will be making it our go to Thai place in Georgetown. Do yourself a favor and give them a try! Ambiance - 9/10 Service - 10/10 Food - 10/10 Overall - 10/10

We had the yellow curry with tofu, pad Thai with tofu, and the papaya salad -- all were delicious. One thing worth mentioning: we ordered spice level 1 out of 5, and it still had a solid kick. Definitely enough heat to keep you reaching for the next bite without being overwhelming. They also brought out complimentary egg rolls and wontons as appetizers, which was a nice surprise and a great way to start the meal. The restaurant itself is very casual with a simple, no-frills atmosphere that seems mainly focused on to-go orders rather than dine-in ambiance. That said, the food and friendly service were definitely the stars of the experience. Overall, really enjoyable dinner and I'm looking forward to coming back.

My 19-year-old granddaughter is visiting from out of town, and she was so impressed with everything: the beautiful presentation, the restaurant itself, and especially the incredible flavors. We arrived around 11:30 a.m. and were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves for a bit. Our waiter was wonderfully kind and attentive, checking on us throughout our meal without ever being intrusive. The wonton soup was delicious, with fresh, crisp vegetables that added the perfect crunch. The lunch special is an amazing value at $13.99. For just a $1 upcharge, you can substitute fried rice, and your meal includes an egg roll, your choice of soup, and your entrée. The portions were generous enough that we both had leftovers to take home for dinner. I ordered the Szechuan Beef, and it was absolutely outstanding.

They are currently only at farmer's markets (not sure what others they appear at) and they confirmed that they currently don't have a brick and mortar location (but are searching). TIP: Order your dumplings when you first get to the farmer's market because ours took at least 15 minutes to prepare! Or at least ask for a time estimate when you first arrive (might vary based on your order). This way you can shop while they cook your dumplings! TIP2: They will let you do a half and half order, as long as they're the same price (we did half and half chicken and pork) so we could try both. Solid dumplings! Great fillings -- in terms of both flavor and texture. They also fry the dumplings on one side so you get a nice variety of dough texture. Tried shrimp (fat/juicy pieces of shrimp inside) as well as chicken and pork. I think shrimp was my favorite, followed by pork. A bit on the pricy side ($13 for 10 chicken or pork dumplings; $15 for 10 shrimp dumplings) but hey, they're delicious and it's a small business. Very friendly service.

As we were walking to our table, my feet were slipping as if there was grease on the floor in the front of the restaurant as well. It kind of made me feel like I was at a Jack in the Box at 2 AM. Our server was very kind and attentive; however, the place overall did not look very well kept together or clean. I would say, on a cleanliness scale, it was a 3 out of 10. I don't recommend this place. The food was truly not that good for the price at all. I ordered four dishes and four drinks, and my total was $77.33, not including a tip. My husband and I both agreed that if we would've gone to Panda Express, we would've enjoyed it more for half the price. If you would like to sit down and enjoy Chinese food in a restaurant, as this one is advertising, I'd highly recommend going to Hunan Lion in Round Rock, Texas. We recently moved from Round Rock to Jarrell, so we were trying to stay closer to home, but never again will I eat here. I'll definitely be making the trip to Round Rock every single time I want Chinese food.

We have a Thai restaurant walking distance from our house and I have tried it three times over the last 20 years and three times been disappointed. We no longer go there. Khon Kaen it's about a 2 mile drive from my house and we decided to try it though I had average expectations. The food was incredible, the flavors were authentic, the portions were large enough to have some leftovers, they did not skimp on the protein at all, they provide each dish with a larger than average amount of steamed rice, and the service was exceptional. We asked the operator's name (I'm not sure if he's the owner or not). He said his name was Patrick and was so lovely to talk to. We could smell the food as he was preparing it and could hear the wok moving constantly. We also tried their homemade mango ice cream, which was an exceptional way to end a fiery meal. My son got the pork belly, Penang curry. He loves pork belly, and Penang curry, and usually pork belly is jiggly and fatty and fairly lackluster from a flavor perspective in my opinion. This was a either fried or definitely cooked more than usual pork belly, which gave you that delicious silkiness yet it also had a chew versus it just being fatty. The curry was thick, flavorful, and probably the best I've had in a very long time. I got the number five and I told him I wanted it Thai hot. He double checked with me to make sure that I could handle that level of heat because this was authentic and I told him I could. I ALMOST regret my confidence in my tongue's ability, but it was exactly what I wanted. Their Thai hot was definitely Thai hot. It was so delicious, fresh, and hit the spot. Their fish sauce, on the side, it was excellent as well. I brought mine home to add to a salad as the perfect dressing. I already mentioned the mango ice cream. They provided us with cold water bottles at no charge. It is a small food truck park off of Gattis School Road in Round Rock. Plenty of parking and they have a huge covered area to sit with fans. We will 100% go back and soon! He informed me that he also caters! The prices were fantastic for the quality and quantity provided. It was so nice meeting you, Patrick! Thank you for the delicious lunch.
