Jimmy Thai/Ramen Time

“If I am in town I make a point to eat here once or twice a day.”

If I am in town I make a point to eat here once or twice a day. I have been going down the menu trying something different most of the time and I have always been very impressed with how delicious the food is and how generous the portions are at a super (almost to low) price. The staff are all exceptional and remember you. Jimmy has bought me a beer from time to time I need to figure out how to make the Golden Noodle sauce so I can get my fix when I’m back home 😉😁 The kitchen staff always does an excellent job Can’t say enough good things about this place!!!!

We visited this place upon recommendation from a local friend, the food was delicious, service was impeccable, we were seated promptly, the servers and owners were very friendly! Strongly recommend to try this place if you are in the area, great place to grab a bite after visiting botanical gardens! On top of everything, the food price was also very reasonable! We tried Ramen, curried noodles and Panang curry and mochi ice cream, everything was delectable!

“Came in on a whim on a Mon night as Jimmy Thai was recommended by a local friend.”

Came in on a whim on a Mon night as Jimmy Thai was recommended by a local friend. I was seated straight away while the restaurant was packed. A very lively atmosphere and you can feel the genuine family style of hospitality as you are seated and waited on by Jimmy himself. I ordered the green curry, pad see ew and mango sticky rice with a hot green tea. Everything came out in under 10 minutes, piping hot, fresh ingredients and flavorful. If you are in the area, this place is a hidden gem surrounded by retail stores. Support this local business if you get a chance. Your taste buds will thank you. I'll definitely be back.

Talk about a great vibe, this place was bouncing with friendly chatter at lunch. The service was quick but more importantly the food was so fresh and tasty. Definitely coming back very soon. The owner Jimmy is hands on and very on top of it.

Stopped here for dinner during a business trip and was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. The food was fantastic, and the owner’s hospitality made the experience even better. I ordered the shrimp shumai and pad see ew—both were excellent. The owner personally introduced himself, and within minutes, he generously offered me a bowl of their ramen on the house, which was outstanding. Plus, the wine was inexpensive, and the owner was more than generous with it. Definitely planning to return!
