J.J. Thai is a small BYOB Thai restaurant in West Town. It’s also very busy, which means there’s a good chance you’ll need to wait for a table. That can lead to some hard questions like “should we go get more beer?” and “where should I stand so my bag isn’t in this woman’s face?” We can’t answer those questions for you, but we can tell you that this place is worth the wait. That’s because J.J.’s serves excellent Thai street food. So you’ll find dishes like sai-krok e-sarn and crispy khao mun gai tod - which is so good we usually end up ordering a second plate. The soups here are also excellent - they’ve all got flavorful broths and springy noodles. There are less than 30 seats, so no matter where you end up you’ll be within seeing distance of the open kitchen. This is great, because if you see something that looks delicious, you can always add it to your meal (or just remember it for next time).
