Diner Review №1

The food has amazing flavor. We had fried rice with chicken, orange chicken, spring rolls and crab ragoons. All bussin.

Diner Review №2

Was craving Pad Thai and Jasmine did not disappoint! Delicious!!

Diner Review №3

The food was excellent. It was flavorful with a nice variety of choices. The service was horrible, we were treated as a nuisance by the waitress. After our order was taken, we to call her over to request things. Never once did she come over to ask if we need even our water to be refilled .We were the only people in the restaurant. It was so cold in there we had to eat with our coats on. If we ever have food from Jasmine Rice it will be takeout only.

Diner Review №4

I work close by and everything I have tried so far is off the chain.
I really do suggest going here more often, fave thing gotta be the spring rolls and mango with sticky rice. Oh, and the taro tea.
Pln to try more menu items over time as I enjoy the flavors 😋

Diner Review №5

I always get the drunken noodles because they are excellent!! It is not a fancy place, but I like that you can see the cooks in the open kitchen as soon as you enter. Always interesting to see! 🙂Great for casual dining or carryout.

Diner Review №6

Best massaman curry I've ever had. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №7

Wife and I been meaning to try this place. When we pulled up there was a sign that said heater was broken. We decided to skip and decided to do a carry out next few days. The heater was still broken, but picked up the tofu pad thai, and wife got a pineapple shrimp rice. Really enjoyed the tofu. Had a really nice cook on it. One of the better tofu I have had out. Wife rice dish was huge, and rice tasted good. Shrimp were okay. Like to try again, but would prefer to eat in, so hopefully they will get heater fixed soon.

Diner Review №8

An extensive menu with good food and a friendly staff.

Diner Review №9

Waitress was less than friendly. Floors were sticky throughout the whole restaurant, my shoes made noise with every step.
Food was mediocre.

Diner Review №10

Diner Review №11

Best Asian cuisine in the Rockford area hands down. I love the pineapple fried rice!! Large portions, quick service, fresh and flavorful meals! So so good

Diner Review №12

Diner Review №13

Nam tok was good. So was the Green Curry and Crab Rangoons. The wait staff was not very friendly, but we enjoyed our meals.

Diner Review №14

Tom yum Kong soup had no heat, green curry was more yellow curry then green. Fish was good.

Diner Review №15

Diner Review №16

We waited an hour for the food and it was not even that good.

Diner Review №17

Awesome cook and service😊😊

Diner Review №18

Truly great Thai food and they aren’t afraid to make the spice level authentic upon request.

Diner Review №19

Horrible. Rancid tofu. No apology. Never ordering there again.

Diner Review №20

Some of the best Vegan / Thai dishes found in the area!

Diner Review №21

Best vegan menu in Rockford!

Diner Review №22

So the guy who served me was nice. However, he messed up my order badly. I asked for Veggie Pad Thai with the side noodles. There was no noodles. I got a tofu dish curry dish that my wife liked. The Veggie Massaman was good but not as creamy + I would add more potatoes since it’s vegetarian. The Veggie Spring Rolls are large with avocado. It was like a mini-salad; nice portion size. But the sauce was not sweet and peanut flavored. So that was sad. We prefer that to the sauce they currently use. The ones we like have some hoisin, peanut butter and sugar, it’s yummy. So overall, it was good but not great. I didn’t like the egg plant in the curry bc it was mushy and whatever goes they use, with a rippled cut is slightly sour, personally I’d prefer potatoes. Parking is easy, lots of seating. But I regret spending $85. here. They didn’t label the food + honestly I couldn’t tell what was what in the beginning bc it didn’t taste like I’m used to. I’m from up north so I’m used to Boston and NYC Thai food, sadly this missed its mark. They did have a vegan menu. But better than some of the other asian cuisine I’ve had in the area.

Diner Review №23

I go here often and every time the food is great. Reasonably priced. The owner will converse with you regularly. Katie, the server, always is super nice as well.

Diner Review №24

Diner Review №25

The food is always high quality and delicious. Katie has been helpful and knowledgeable. We eat here a few times a month.

Diner Review №26

Great food and service every time. And super helpful service from Katey when the wrong tea was brought out the first time.

Diner Review №27

Diner Review №28

Went on a Saturday afternoon to get a few dishes. I had the Kra Pow Gai Sab, that was phenomenal. I also had the dessert, Bua Loy, so so good!!! Incredibly authentic Thai cuisine with so many options.

Diner Review №29

Diner Review №30

Diner Review №31

The menu says pineapple fried rice that comes with chicken and shrimp and it would be served in a pineapple. No shrimp came with it. When we asked they said it was a “menu typo and there is a more expensive version that does come with shrimp.” When asked where this was on the menu he could not show us.

Diner Review №32

Great service. The owners cook everything themselves and smile & wave when you walk in, the chairs are comfortable and the atmosphere is very comfortable

Diner Review №33

Looking for a mom and pop Thai place? This is it! Went on a Wednesday afternoon and we were the only patrons. They gave us their full attention and we got our order and food in good timing.

The menu is very wide and vast that we ordered a lot of items because everything sounded so good. Would highly recommend Money Bags, Krapao, duck, and Pad See Ew. The Pad Thai tastes a lot better when it's not super hot so let that cool. The taro drink and Thai Iced Tea is so good and we had to order one to go.

The chef came out to talk to us and told us her ingredients are sourced from Thailand and she is authentic to Thai flavors, which we appreciate.

Diner Review №34

😍😍😍 FINALLY! A joint that offers delicious Thai food. 20/10.

Diner Review №35

The owners give incredible customer service, the resteraunt is very clean, the food is amazing, and the vegan options are so vast you will not have any trouble finding something you'll love! No more settling for a few dishes that are vegan- there's a whole menu of just vegan food!!! I got the Tom yum with tofu, and the vegan fried rice with vegetables and I absolutely recommend both.

Diner Review №36

This is the best Thai in town! Always consistent and delicious and the owners are awesome. If you want Thai with a huge variety, make your way here. You won't be disappointed!

Diner Review №37

Food was delicious!

Diner Review №38

I love this place! They were able to accept my catering order with last minute notice. We love the pad see ew! Highly recommend!

Diner Review №39

Katie really did an amazing job. Allowed me to sample the tea because I could not choose which I wanted to order. Went there with three other co-workers with little knowledge of the cuisine. Katie was very knowledgeable of the menu and created a happy experience with her bubbly personality. The boys from Dagnon Building & Roofing will be coming back 100 percent.

Diner Review №40

My new favorite local Thai spot. Tried the green curry and crispy duck. Caity was our server and had great recommendations and insight into Thai cuisine.

Diner Review №41

Diner Review №42

Online ordering delivery is insane. $50 minimum "for my location" and tries charging me the delivery fee for over 5 miles away. I live 3.9 miles away, called the store and was informed the delivery fee can not be changed. This is how you do not get my business. I'm not sorry, but it would cost me over $70 USD to try and order lunch for one.

Diner Review №43

Diner Review №44

Simply the best Thai food I've ever had. The entire experience was wonderful, and I felt like I was picking up food from family that invited me over for lunch. The cook in particular has such a friendly and engaging attitude that made me feel like I was a regular customer even though it was my first time buying from here. The amount of love and skill put into the food speaks volumes of the passion inside this restaurant.

This is definitely going to be a go-to whenever I want takeout or a dine-in experience. 100% recommend the Druken noodles. They were phenomenal.

Diner Review №45

The all-vegan menu is amazing!

Diner Review №46

Diner Review №47

This place has delicious pad Thai and spring rolls! They have the peanuts and garnish on top and the lime wedge, Plus it's a great portion. The matcha tea with boba was also fantastic. It's conveniently located and I will definitely be returning.

Diner Review №50

The Pad Prik King is my favorite, and it’s the only restaurant in the area I’ve found that offers this dish. The flavors were authentic and tasted perfection. I love and appreciate the vegetarian options, and the wait staff was very friendly and efficient. 💓💓💓

Diner Review №51

Came for an early dinner to celebrate a birthday. Staff was wonderful, attentive and funny. The owner came out to check on us and make sure our dinner was excellent. The food was SO GOOD! Loved every bit from appetizers to the Thai iced tea. Try it, this place doesn’t disappoint.

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

We've been to this place several times as it is near our house. The food is always delicious. The service is sometimes a little slow, but that is reasonable because it is a small place with few workers. Last night however was unacceptable. We arrived a little before 6pm and placed our order within 10 minutes. After an hour we got our appetizer. Another 15 or more minutes go by and there is no sign of our entrees. The waitress repeatedly told us she was checking on them but with no follow-up. Finally we ask the owner (?) who has been chatting up customers. He returns to tell us that the order ticket got lost, and they haven't even begun our order - after nearly 90 minutes! No one followed up? The owner was apologetic but should have been more proactive instead of holding 20-30 minute conversations with customers while oblivious to the fact that their(our) food should have been delivered in that amount of time. He comp-ed our appetizer and one drink, but we left a small amount for the waitress. Needless to say, we probably will not return to this place. It's a shame because the food is actually pretty good, and we like to support local businesses.

Diner Review №54

Talented Chef, Owner and Server made me feel welcome and were happy to modify my food. Everything was totally delicious! I will visit again and tell friends.

Diner Review №55

Diner Review №56

One and done, not worth going back.

Diner Review №57

Best chicken pad thai and fried veg spring rolls, shrimp bikini.

Diner Review №58

Diner Review №59

The best Thai restaurant in town so far!!!! The owner of this place is very sweet and friendly❤️❤️🫶🏽 would love to go there anytime and highly recommend this place to anyone who love Thai foods!

Diner Review №60

I’ve been wanting to try this place, and stopped by this evening. Probably the most solid Pad Thai I’ve had in the whole Rockford area, hands-down. Fresh, good mix of all the right ingredients, and served fast. I also wanted it VERY spicy and they delivered, just as I asked. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №61

Diner Review №62

Very nice staff. Not impressed with the indoor seating ambiance - carryout is the way to go here.

Tried the "Drunken Noodles" based on the staff recommendation. The menu said it was spicy but I didn't notice anything. I thought the serving size was great but wasn't impressed by the quality of the dish.

I'd try something else if I give Thai Jasmine another chance. Wouldn't recommend this dish.

Diner Review №63

$50 minimum WITH a $5 fee for delivery less than 2 miles away? Good luck to you all.

Diner Review №64

Love this food place! Love Thai food and this place is my go to. They have a food truck too and I love everything I've tasted. Mom and pop shop, family owned place. So good.

Diner Review №65

I played it safe and ordered orange chicken. It was ok. While I was there something was cooking that smelled absolutely fantastic. If my server wasn't acting like she couldn't be bothered I would have asked about it. Only one other table and they were done.

Diner Review №66

The best, hands down. Delicious, great people, and if you ever need anything spicy, I heard this is the spot.

Diner Review №67

Good food, but primarily a take out place. The dining room felt rushed, but all the sane, it's a great place & I'll go again

Diner Review №68

Diner Review №69

Good food, friendly staff but portions are small for the price.

Diner Review №70

I have had food from there once that I picked up and it was fine, but if they aren't going to be able to approve online orders, they shouldn't offer it. They money is put on hold from your credit/debit card even if the order isn't accepted. They also have a $5 delivery fee for 3-5 miles, and according to Google maps, my address was within 5 miles, but they were going to charge the $10 fee for being over 5 miles. Truly frustrating. Not sure I will try them again.

Diner Review №71

Best Thai restaurant in the Rockford area! Excellent food and service! Fresh ingredients, the colors and flavors are amazing!

Diner Review №72

My go to thai take out place in rockford. A bit pricey, but always yummy. Everyone is always friendly. Better than Thai sisters in flavors, but not atmosphere.

Diner Review №73

Call them wait 30 minutes and order still not ready. If you wait longer than excepted come here. Didn't apologize or nothing. Second and last time can't even call order SMH. Wanted to be a suporter

Diner Review №74

First time. Great food will definitely order again.

Diner Review №75

What a great little Thai place. The service was attentive. I’m pretty sure all of the food was made fresh. I will definitely visit again.

Diner Review №76

Best Thai iced coffee I've had. The potstickers as appetizers were so perfectly crunchy outside and soft in the middle with a tangy sweet dipping sauce. My main meal was drunken noodles with high spice level, veggies were delicious, the beef was tender and flavorful and the noodles were ideal. Will be coming back in the future to try more from the menu. Love this place

Diner Review №77

Very authentic, very good and very friendly! 10/10 will go again!

Diner Review №78

They do the best the can with decor considering their space, but I don’t personally care about that stuff. The food was so freaking good and the boba was great too. The staff was so kind and attentive, you will not regret giving this place a try!

Diner Review №79

Easily the best Thai food I have had outside of Thailand - I can’t believe this is located in a non-descript strip mall on Forest Hills Rd. In Rockford. I had the Crab Rangoon, Moneybags, Pad Kra Pao (amazing), and Mango/Sticky Rice. Super nice people, great food, and reasonable prices. I will be back many, many times.

Diner Review №80

Food and service were amazing 👏 😍 🙌
Our first time here, chose to try it because of the reviews.

Felt I should also leave a review because we couldn't have been more pleased with the food, and especially their service. They really made us feel like we were part of the family and went above and beyond.

We forgot our hot sauce, when we were outside migrating to our car the gentleman working at the counter came running outside giving us the sauce. Now THAT is commitment to great customer service!!!

Diner Review №81

Truly authentic Thai food. Delicious flavors and multiple options to choose from; vegan, seafood, and meat. The staff is friendly and helpful. Making this place my new regular for Thai food!

Diner Review №82

Absolutely authentic Thai food prepared by a top Thai chef who trained at the best Thai culinary schools. I've enjoyed many Thai restaurants, but they pale in comparison.

Diner Review №83

First time customer & had to provide a review. Ordered the drunken noodles, crab rangoons & shrimp cakes as take out. Fresh & flavorful food provided by friendly staff. Highly recommend & will definitely be back! Please support them so we all can continue eating here.

Diner Review №84

Really fresh and tasty food!! The bubble tea is also excellent!!

Diner Review №85

We love this place.

Diner Review №86

Best orange chicken I’ve ever had! My kids loved the chicken fried rice and noodles!

Diner Review №87

Pad See Ew is amazing, as are the garden rolls, pad Thai, sweet sticky rice with mango.

Diner Review №88

The food here is wonderful! I ordered the Kao Karee Gai Tod, a breaded chicken cutlet served with yellow curry and rice. It was all cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Each part of the dish was well proportioned and went well with everything else, almost like the ingredients wanted to be together.

I had my first Thai tea float (chilled spiced tea with a scoop of vanilla ice cream), which I highly recommend! It was sweet and packed with flavors that paired better with this kind of food than most soda would.

Diner Review №89

Their Pad Thai’s are the best in town

Diner Review №90

Great food and service. Very authentic food

Diner Review №91

Delicious food! I got the chicken pad Thai, and it was nice and tangy. We sampled all four desserts, too. Everything was really tasty, the service was fast and friendly, and we were (and are) super full!

I wasn't fast enough to get a picture of the pumpkin custard before people snagged some bites.

I also ordered a bubble tea. I got the coconut milk one. I thought it was going to be a milk tea with coconut flavoring, but it ended up a coconut milk beverage with no tea in it. It was excellent!

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

The food was good and the waitress was pleasant. It's a small place that is very clean.

Diner Review №94

Diner Review №95

Diner Review №96

So I’m happy to say I found a new place that’s not even a year old! I was looking for some bubble tea near me while out running errands and found this gem! I got the food to go, due to the weather; but I definitely want to go back!

I got Rama chicken noodles with peanut sauce, and coconut bubble freeze.

If you love peanut sauce you’ll enjoy this dish! Also very nice staff! When I went in I asked the girl for anything with peanut sauce, she did not disappoint! They have more options and I can’t wait to check them out again the next time 🙂

We had visited a couple of times and had decent Asian food, and then I spotted the crispy pork belly with Chinese broccoli ("Hmmm, sounds good...") and my life would never be the same - fantastic. Seriously, negotiate w the owner on what you like - super spicy, less sugar, etc. - and you can't go wrong here. Good ingredients and excellent cooking from the smiling owner. We are also fans of the papaya salad. Delicious! There's no booze, but you can have a cold beer at Souse's, which is a couple of doors down.

Diner Review №101

Very good food, affordable, nice homely atmosphere.

Diner Review №102

Diner Review №103

Diner Review №104

Amazing Food! One part of our order was forgotten, and they bent over backward to make it right! They will be seeing ALOT of me. I'm telling everyone!

Diner Review №105

Completely overpriced and delivery fee is 10 dollars. Ridiculous

Diner Review №106

Diner Review №107

This Thai restaurant has incredibly delicious food. Be sure to try the curry puff chicken appetizers! We've ordered carry out several times and have loved everything we've tried!

Diner Review №108

Super tasty and excellent service! We had the jasmine dumplings and the boat noodle soup. We will be back! So so good!!

Diner Review №112

PSA: Thai Jasmine’s new restaurant on Forest Hills is AWESOME. 10/10. My new favorite Asian restaurant in town, and most authentic Thai I’ve found here after living in Thailand. And they’re the sweetest people, super accommodating for vegan. Everyone please go support them so I can keep eating here!

Diner Review №113

Diner Review №121

This place is fantastic! Probably the BEST Thai in Rockford area. Fresh, expertly prepared and very well cooked. Prices are fair. Check it out, you won't be sorry.

Diner Review №122

Visited a couple times and food is good. Service is very slow, had the male waiter twice and he is very inattentive. Owners are very friendly. Not sure if heat is not working but both times employees had jackets on and it was very cold in the dining room.

Diner Review №123

We got the Rockford fried rice and the shrimp pad Thai!! Both were great. I love a good comforting fried rice on a Friday night and this was ittttt! And the staff are so nice!! Thank you everyone ❤️

Diner Review №124

Food tastes great!

Diner Review №125

Great food, prompt service, fair prices!

Diner Review №126

We initially tried Thai Jasmine at Food Truck Tuesdays along the Rock River. We were thrilled to hear they were opening a restaurant. This was our first time at their new location. We had excellent service and the wait staff was knowledgeable about the menu items. The food was excellent and we had plenty to take home to enjoy another day. The chef/owners were gracious, checked to make sure our meal was perfect and kindly thanked us for coming in. We will definitely be back!

Diner Review №127

The food is spectacular to look at and darn tasty too. The pineapple fried rice is one of my favorite items.

It's so good. Will come back. 10/10

Diner Review №132

Every dish is beautiful and delicious; you will not be disappointed.

Diner Review №133

Amazing enriching tasted delicious and super spicy 🌶

Diner Review №134

I'm not one to complain usually about restaurants. However, the order was incorrect and the food was very bland. I recommend Sister's Thai or Thai Hut in Rockford if you are looking for flavorful food that is worth the money.

Diner Review №135

Heard that they celebrated a grand opening after being primarily a food truck service, so was excited to try them out! I tried the Appetizer Combination Package and the Drunken Noodles. The Appetizer Combination package was a nice way to get a sense of all the different appetizers they offered. The appetizers that I liked were the egg rolls, the moneybags, and the Chicken Satay. Those were the best. The price is a little high, but the quality was great! The Drunken Noodles were fantastic! It was quite spicy and very rich in flavor. Definitely will come back for more and to try out other items on their very extensive menu!

Diner Review №136

Great little hole in the wall atmosphere with Thai elegance on the plate! It was an amazing meal and amazing overall experience for this new buisness in Rockford I give 5 stars! Will definitely be back probably too much lol

Diner Review №137

Food was amazing, service was great. Food was super hot and fresh. Will definitely recommend this place to friends.

Diner Review №138

Food is always good and friendly service.

Diner Review №139

Diner Review №140

I like the curry flavor. but the size is too small, we ordered two meals only got 8 oz rice

Diner Review №141

I was waited on immediately by friendly staff. My order was placed and a short while later my order arrived. All was great with just mild zest, if you wished, and spicier available upon request. Moderately priced, good value. Nice backgroundmusic makes for great atmosphere. Also, original painting on wall.

Diner Review №142

Great eats. I really appreciate the service I recieved here.

Diner Review №143

Wonderful presentation and absolutely delicious! Don’t sleep on this place it’s definitely worth trying I recommend the Tai iced tea if you like sweet drinks. Love this restaurant!

Diner Review №144

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The Thai milk tea was great and all of the appetizers were tasty. It's pretty comparable in price to anywhere else, maybe a bit cheaper: $12-15 for most entrees.

Diner Review №145

Delicious, will be back!

Diner Review №146

Too expensive for what it is, food is extremely mid, lees than mid
