Grant LaFontaine

The best food I had in Bangkok (and I ate at Gaggan). The reviews are a little mixed because it's pricey for street food , but given the quality & quantity it's with it.

Ting

Indeed a destination.Don't be wary if it's half empty compared to the neighboring Thip Samai Padthai 's long queue. Quality here is top notch and u pay for it.Pad kee mao (drunken kwaytiao) is amazing!

Rafa Larrañaga

Prices are REALLY expensive for Thai street food but I can confirm the food is quite good (400 TBH for dish minimum). Try the Pad Khee Mao and the Pad See Ew , this is Bangkok and you deserve it!

You haven't tasted Bangkok Cuisine if you haven't tried Jay Fai's Restaurant !We got the Seafood Tom Yum (medium spiced ) & the Michelin Star Crab Omelet (boy was it juicy & soft)!10/10!

Chloe Khor

Crab omelette , curry crab and drunken noodle is top notch. I would skip the tom yam ( too sour )and the veggie ( too salty) seafood fried rice is pretty good. All seafood served here are awesome

Kris Giebens

Fantastic noodles , but (not kidding) 10x as expensive as any other hawker you will find in Bangkok. Try them once ;-)

Jay Fai deserves her star. She cooks every single dish individually by herself. I feel food tastes even better now. Quality is excellent and for the ingredients alone this is great value for money .

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Lives up to the hype, especially the crab omelet . We luckily tried hard for a reservation and got one, but arriving early is key if you don’t have one.

Terence Lau

Get there at 10am to sign in, then plan your time. We were table 17 and were seated at 4:30

Torzin S

After got Michelin star , this place becomes overly popular, often full house.

Leena

Thr Omelet and Crab Fried Rice , in my opinion, is that the omelet is really delicious and there is no comparison. The style for making the omelet is also unique.

Dan Money

get your name on the list, then head to Thip Samai , Jedi Cafe or even get a massage while you wait (it's going to be awhile...)

Nik Nadolski

Simply delicious, not one to miss. Put your name on the list, go for a stroll, come back and chill .

Daniel Roy

Make sure to reserve by email or by phone. Walk-ins are accepted but you'll wait forever.

Li-May

Quality cooking, quality ingredients. Just exceptional simple food!

Dwight ดนัย

Always excited to eat here. The owner is fiery and so are her dishes cooked over charcoal. Bring you wallet though, it may be Bangkok's most expensive street food . Popular for its jumbo seafood !

JK

You should order crab omelet , served as a large roll filled with fresh, white crab meat . (ไข่เจียวปู)

Hian Hong

Promise to self: I must eat here at least once whenever I visit Bangkok. It's the most expensive hawker in Thailand but I've never had so much crab in an omelette ever! 800 baht for small serving.

JingXun Hu

Heavenly crab omelette with chunky succulent crabmeat within a crispy crust of egg !!!

Nevermore

One MICHELIN Star . The local legend that is Jay Fai continues what her father started 70 years ago and makes crab omelettes , crab curries and dry congee .

Susie Marshall

Try the fried crab omelette . Bursting with delicious crab filling and the ends of the omelette are lovely and crispy .

Queen of street food , comparatively expensive but worth it! Crab meat in yellow curry with egg and onions ...Yummmie!!

V

Stir-fried rice noodle with roasted chili paste and sweet basil pepper with shrimp or seafood .

Ramy Mohy

Absolutely delectable, would recommend Drunken Noodles with Prawns

Brent Smith

Actually on Maha Chai road . THE most amazing Thai food that I've ever eaten. Wonton soup , Crab Omelet , Crab Curry and some Prawn dish with crab , bell pepper and coconut shoots are my favorite.

Delia

I had Sticky noodles . Very good food indeed but quite expensive . No soap in the toilet bothered me a little for that price.

Juliana Vasconcellos

Local food prepared by a woman in goggles! Good Pad thai , dont expect glamour and people watching , very local and low key .

Alèxia Solé

Recommended by @nataliabhqz on Instagram. At 50Best & Michelin starred . Try their crab omelette .

Ramy Mohy

Absolutely delectable! Would recommend Drunken Noodles with Prawns

Leonard F

Crab omelet

Chanakan

Leaving ridiculosly expensive price, yet below average taste. Even with larger size of seafood , still not giving any sense of value of money. Not worth any penny. No one I know tries the second time.

Melvin Tan

Crab omelette 1000 baht!

Clement Chiang

TomYum is a must, dry TonYum and crab omelette

Surawich

Garrett Carey

Pad kee mow, crab omelette

Pornrapee Abhakorn

Every dish personally cooked by owner. Expensive!

Big Raktabutr

Don't miss Crab Omlette , Kra Praw Chicken with Rice and the famous Poh Taek!

AJ Bosiek

This place to a complete Joke. 1000 baht for a soup anyone?! Avoid at all costs. Clearly having a few food vloggers visiting has completely gone to the owner's head.
