Had I not seen Kevin G's review about cockroaches crawling around in broad daylight, I would've been a weekly regular here to this day. I did, in fact, used to eat here or get take out very frequently when it first opened. Everything I tried was pretty damn good, especially given the fact that it's a random Thai place in the middle of nowhere (as far as dining goes). I was SO thrilled to have good Thai food a few blocks away from me, it seemed like a fuckin' luxury. Great appetizers, spicy noodles, Pad Thai, curries... Just everything, seriously. However, I do have to admit that I stopped coming here ever since I saw that review a few months ago. :( While I feel that tons of restaurants probably have some kind of covert critter/sanitation issue that patrons aren't aware of, I just can't stomach eating somewhere where this issue has surfaced. There's been times I've considered it, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. Rats, sure; cockroaches, ughhh... *suppresses shudder* So, I'm very skeptical now, and its remote location further leads me to question the freshness of the food/cleanliness of the establishment. Which is a shame, since I really did love the shit out of this place. However, if you're more forgiving than I am, I do have to say that they have some really, really great food and I almost wish I never found out what I did, goddamn it. It's the only place you can get your Thai fix for miles around!

I have eaten at this place numerous times, I love this place. The chicken panang is fucking amazing. The crab rangoon is fucking amazing. I love sitting down at this place and drinking 6 tall boys of PBR and talking to the crazy old man that says panang should be made with weed. I agree with him wholeheartedly. But today was a different day. I was eating and I noticed a cockroach was crawling his happy ass all over the walls and what not. I was kind of high from smoking a bowl earlier but I was certainly not imagining this. This place is fucking filthy and I will never recommend it to anyone, ever. I used to bring all my friends here to show them how good the food was, what a fucking idiot I was. I wish I could rate it zero stars but I guess everyone deserves just a little bit. Fuck 'em. Avoid this place like the plague. I will be.
(1)Lena M.
I've ordered so many times here now that I have learned what is best for me to avoid & which dishes to stick with. Also, I pick up my food now, rather than getting it delivered. Nick, the owner, is very friendly & always remembers me when I call in. Never eaten in, but the restaurant is cute, cozy, & looks clean.
(3)Sarah M.
I love this little Thai place! It's quiet so when I go for lunch with a friend we have the place to ourselves. Their lunch specials include a cup of yummy soup and two crab rangoons, for $6.25! Their food is fresh and cooked to order. I can hear them cooking it after I place my order. Try the coconut bubble tea! I don't know why there are so many negative reviews on here. I will come back here all the time and always bring a friend to try it with me!
(5)Elvis G.
Great Food. I have tried various Thai restaurants and by far this is the best restaurant. Price is reasonable, food quantity is just perfect. I recommend you try this restaurant. Thanks, EG
(4)Bethany M.
Ordered the seafood and tofu pad thai, & my boyfriend had the tofu fried rice. A bit pricey, but the food was good nonetheless.
(3)Jamie B.
1 star because the driver was personable and the food was hot. Overall the udon noodle soup and crab rangoon were both suspiciously sweet. Could only stomach a couple of the rangoons and a bite of the soup. Even the udon noodles were bad. Soggy outside and rubbery inside with a hint of dish soap.
(1)Renee K.
3.5 stars: Our go-to neighborhood thai place. The food has been good here but recently they've been skimming on the portions and meats inside the curries. I've eaten here but mostly have called for delivery. There aren't any Thai choices in the area so when we are craving it and can't go far this is where we order. 4-star tasty food but has been declining to 3.5/3 status. To the owners: please try harder with the authenticity of the food. We want to love you and give you 5-stars but you've gotta step up the game! Take sushi off your list and go all out perfecting Thai food in this area!!! I need you to stay around! Best choices: green curry, masaman curry, thai basil fried rice, pad see ewe.
(3)Patricia R.
I'm glad I came across this gem. My friend and I were looking for a quick and decent thai place and to our surprise, we ended up here ans loved it! The food is authentic, fresh, and delicious. The service was excellent and also very clean.
(5)Magda P.
Great Thai food, the veggie egg rolls are divine, the only thing about the place is that its just a little bit on the pricy side
(4)Lynelle O.
This place is very under rated. Very good food and service. It's a hidden gem in the west side of Chicago
(4)Jinx K.
It was ok. I judge a Thai place by the Pad Thai and it was terrible. Curry rice was ok but definitely too pricy for the low quality that it is.
(3)Superbe G.
I do not recommend eating at this restaurant. I ordered a few dishes and everything was so bland and not fresh. It started with the delivery man where he was arguing and cursing at the neighbors because they wanted him to move his vehicle to the side so they could get through. I ordered the crab rangoon, chicken satay, egg rolls, pad thai chicken, thai fried shrimp, chicken teriyaki, and mixed vegetable shrimp. I was not able to taste the difference between any of them other than the teriyaki sauce. It looked as if they scrapped the rice from the bottom of the pot and put it into containers for me. The crab rangoon and egg rolls were old. They were hard, with no taste. I love thai food, but this place is a joke. Sorry Jasmine Rice..
(1)Kienna B.
Went here for a quick dinner with a friend and it was very peaceful and adorable. The food was very tasty (crab rangoon), and one dish filled my stomach. Though the service is not on fleek.
(3)Luis P.
I would highly recommend this place. I ordered the Spicy Basil, which is as the title states, spicy. The waitress gave me an option of 1 through 10 on how spicy I wanted my meal. I said a 6, and it was a very good spice. I also ordered the Thai Ice Tea. The plate size is reasonable for the price. A meal for two will run around 20-40 dollars. However, if that's too high or you just don't feel like spending too much, then consider showing up between 11am and 3pm for the lunch specials. I have not tried any of the lunch specials but other reviewers thought it was worth mentioning. Overall, your looking at a reasonable price establishment, a calm environment, and a satisfied stomach. I highly recommend the Spicy Basil with chicken.
(4)Christina G.
This used to be my favorite Thai Restaurant, have ordered from this place for years. The food was always great & fresh whether I ate there or had it delivered. Sadly, recent experiences have been so poor that I will no longer waste or money or time with this restaurant. Bland, seasoned incorrectly, cooked badly (burnt/pan scrapings etc) sparse ingredients, heavy on the onions and little of anything else. Portion sizes are now tiny & no rice provided. Prices are higher & delivery was ridiculous - over an hour & we are only 2 blocks away! Specific items that we have ordered over the years that now are ABYSMAL : Panang curry: sauce was tasty, but portion size was miniscule, you had to seriously search to find the few tiny bits of alleged "chicken" in it & a few peas & a whole lot of poorly cooked onions. Beef salad: TINY portion (and I mean even tinier than it ever was in the past - ridiculous for the price), very little meat, dressing was straight sugar - and what meat there was appeared to be leftover hamburger -- the lettuce was disgusting, wilted, soggy & old tasting. Tom Ka: broth too sweet - overloaded with SUGAR (again?) , very little chicken or veg in it, again a crapload of poorly cooked onions and no rice provided with it. We also foolishly tried Maki - awful, rice was warm, mushy and unpleasant. Just gross - and expensive, to boot. Very sad to have to give this place a poor rating, after enjoying it in the past, but can no longer recommend it :(
(1)Angie C.
One of my favorite Thai Restaurants!! The food is very good and the place is cozy, it may be small but worth every penny. I recommend to dine in its much better. Beef Pad Thai is great I always order it.
(4)Rebecca K.
We have been going here for a long time! We love it! There is better but they are consistent. Always can get a table, my 8 yr.loves it, everyone it friendly and great thai food!
(4)Allison V.
This place is disgusting. I am not a picky eater at all, but my food was inedible. I ordered the Pad Woon Sen (my favorite Thai dish) and it was a pool of oil with a few noodles and some slimy chicken. I took one bite and that was it. It tasted like it was cooked in burnt or dirty oil. The Crab Rangoon was not good either and it came with a chunky sauce. The only part of our order that was actually good was the chicken rice soup. I called to ask for a refund for just the bowl of oil they call pad woon sen. They told me "no, that is the way we cook our food."
(1)Spending M.
My favorite place for pad thai chicken and fried rice pineapple
(5)Virgina W.
My first experience was just okay I ordered the Udon soup w/beef and I thought that it was very plain tasting, a little bland but still good.
(3)Camila H.
I've been going to Jasmine Rice for about 3-4 years now. I know they changed owners around 2 years ago, but I didn't see a decline in their delicious food or service. The lunch special is great. You get an entree (I usually get pad thai w/ chicken), a soup, and 2 crab rangoons. The people who work here are really sweet, and although sometimes they are difficult to understand, they always bring great food. The food always comes quickly, warm and it's delicious! The portions are on the bigger side, but it's always nice to have something to take home. The place itself isn't too big, but it's never uncomfortably full or anything like that. There is street parking in front and I believe there's two side streets incredibly close by that you can also park on. I've brought a couple of friends here, and they've all loved it.
(4)Robin S.
Wow! Have eaten thai food pretty much everywhere (yes, even in Thailand) but their green curry is phenomenal! Crab Rangoon is also fabulous. Pad See Eiw and Pad Thai as well. Funny.....I've never eaten at the restaurant; only ordered for delivery.
(5)S P.
My favorite Thai restaurant hands down. Best most authentic Thai food. But since its the real deal, it's not really adapted to American palates as well as other places. I like that type of thing, I tend to eat very spicy and I like strong flavors. Nam sod n pad thai spicy number 8, if you can handle it
(5)Rick M.
Great food, nice staff. 5 stars for Eat in, carry out, but delivery isn't up to the task. I was told 45 min but it took almost twice that and this isnt the first time for that. Next time I'll order local pizza. I'm hoping that another great Thai place will open closer
(3)Jackie M.
My boyfriend and I have never eaten in the actual restaurant, but we order delivery from here once or twice a week, literally. Their food is just delicious, there are no two ways around it. Their curry is the absolute best -- we have tried every kind and each one is as good as the last. My favorite is yellow, my boyfriend's favorite is mussaman. The pad se-ewe is also really good, very traditional and tasty. Their one delivery driver is a really nice guy, and we always try to tip him well. I'd rate this place 5 stars, except that I think the prices are a LITTLE high, and the portions are a bit small. If they re-worked their prices a bit, I think this place would be perfect as far as Thai delivery.
(4)E.A. H.
This place is on my way home from work...so is a convenient place to stop in for some carry out. I'm not sure where the issues with the place being clean come from. Sure...it hasn't been redecorated in the last decade...and it's more "neighborhood place" than date night...but it's not smelly. I've never seen any little brown buddies either. I've also never had a problem with the speed of the service. It's made to order...so no...it's not as fast as going to Panda Express...but I think my longest wait has been 15 minutes...and that was a pretty complicated order. It only gets four stars because it's GOOD Thai food...but nothing out of the ordinary. Personally...I'm not a fan of maki rolls with my Thai food...so the fact they serve some sushi is just a testament to the fact the neighborhood doesn't have a sushi place. Anyway...go for casual Thai when you're craving Red Curry...and you're passing by. Don't go out of your way for it...your neighborhood Thai place is probably exactly the same.
(4)Tim S.
Being from out of town we decided to try a different Thai restaurant this time around. We usually go to Yum Thai in Forest Park. Its good solid Thai food, but recently the service has gone downhill. It's not often that there is free parking in front of a restaurant in Chicago, so I started off with a smile before we even walked in. The restaurant is small,and quaint. However, two things I noticed immediately upon arrival: The big screen TV in the front of the restaurant tuned to Nickelodeon....(BIG TURNOFF), and secondly, the small size of the tables. Hmmm The staff was very friendly (2 points!) and the prices seemed reasonable and in line with other Thai restaurants of equal size. I am perplexed with the need to include Japanese fare on the back side of the menu. The Tom Yum Soup was not that good....overpoweringly sweet in taste, it lacked the spiciness that I am accustomed to....I'm getting worried that this might be a disaster..but, when my Noodles Supreme #D6 was brought to the table, what it lacked in presentation ,lots of noodles..some beef and a scant few veggies, it made up for in taste. I ordered it 7 out of 10 in "hotness", and it was spot on. My family ordered the green curry....which they said was good, but nothing special. My daughter ordered Pad Thai. She always orders Pad Thai and never seems to complain (nor rave) about it at any of the many Thai restaurants we've taken her to. BYOB is a huge reason we come to places like this, and with no insane corkage fee, this place automatically gets another 2 points. The portions did not seem to be what I would expect at a typical Thai restaurant...that is, both my daughter and I finished our meals with no leftovers...I wont hold it against them, maybe we were extra hungry. All in all its a good restaurant, not a great restaurant hence the 3 star rating.
(3)Kathy M.
Come on people! I was on a hunt for some asian type of food and refused to go to three other places on the way home from a sad event. My son loves Thai food. I found this place on my smartphone search. The place was friendly welcoming. There was NO smell. They were playing some very soothing Japanese type music. We stopped here at about 8:30 p.m. on a Tuesday. The waitress immediately took our order and brought out our food so timely. The place is small but with enough tables. It is not decorated the most modern but very nice and clean. Funny that one thing that I noticed was that it was NOT smelly of that fried sort of oily smell that other places have. My son wasn't feeling too well (moodwise) , so the lady immediately packed our food very nicely and even offered to put his Thai iced coffee in a 'go' cup. I will definitely be back. The food was excellent. The noodle soup, curry beef fried rice and California rolls were perfect. Fair is fair!
(4)Tom P.
Surprised to read some of the negativity on here. Doesn't seem like you can take Kevin G's ridiculous review esp. when he's talking about smoking bowls and seeing cockroaches. Jasmine Rice is a good local thai place. Nothing fancy but the food is pretty good esp. compared to other Thai places I've been to in the city. I've never had a problem with service hte few times I've been there. So it doesn't look fancy like some people have stated but its more of a local place and its not like every Thai place looks fancy....i've seen worse.
(4)John L.
I met some friends for dinner there on a Saturday & was a little worried over what to find because of the negative reviews. All I can say is Kevin G. must have been stoned out of his mind. The place was way cleaner than most of the Thai places I've been to in this city. The owners must have finally heard enough people asking for the music to be turned down, because there was some kind of Thai-pop in the background, but it wasn't at all loud. So, what about the food? It was good. I'm not going to rave about it, but I was happy. I had the Mussaman Curry Beef, which was nicely spiced & had good quality, fresh ingredients. The spring rolls were better than average as well. The Thai Iced Coffee was ok. A little weak for my taste, but I'm a hopeless caffeine junky, so your mileage may vary. The portions were generous, but not huge. I was famished & still had a little bit left over. So, is it worth trucking out to Belmont & Narragansett if you live in Rogers Park? Heck no! There are lots of amazing, inexpensive Thai places in town. Opart Thai & Arroy Thai in the Lincoln Square/Ravenswood neighborhood are two of my faves, but if you live on the Northwest side don't let the stoners & posters from the competition stop you from ordering from Jasmine Rice or dropping in for a good meal.
(3)Miguel V.
Been here a couple of times, Its a decent thai place, and its ALWAYS clean. They are also very friendly, i remember the second time I went there with my friends, we got there around 20 minutes after the stop serving lunch specials, but the owner (i think he's the owner) still let us order from that menu, and everything was tasty.
(4)Rachel S.
I woke up late this fine Sunday afternoon and when my husband and our friend in the next room were deliberating over what to do I jumped at the opportunity to suggest FOOD. We typically head over to Jess Cafe when it comes to Thai food but we thought we'd do something different today. Let me tell you, it was a waste of time. We were very hungry and wound up waiting something like 50 minutes for our three meals to come. I'm glad we'd ordered an appetizer--the spring rolls. They were lackluster but helped us not eat the tablecloth while we waited. And waited. And waited. I've never had more bad things to say about a restaurant. Even the water tasted funny and was disgustingly unrefreshing. While waiting we were tortured by the worst music. At first it was funny to joke that our friend was being culturally insensitive because didn't he know everyone listens to second rate boy bands in Thailand? But when the rest of the country ballads and smooth jazz managed to give us all ticks, we'd had enough. When our food came--I had the Pad Kei Mao with vegetables, my husband had the Noodle Supreme with vegetables and our friend had the Bangkok chicken. Our friend was just glad to have some food in front of him finally, but my husband and I were equally unimpressed by our food. Too salty, not spicy, and too small of portions. If you're in the neighborhood, head over to Jess Cafe--they have much of the same on the menu (if not more), plus way faster service, huge portions, and the service is typically fantastic. Way more Bangkok for your buck.

Order delivery from Jasmine Rice last night in spite of the horrid reviews regarding the cleanliness of the place. Figured I could pretend I had never read them if I was eating the stuff in my own house. I ordered my food from their website and in spite of the order receipt stating that it would arrive in 30-60 minutes, it arrived in about 25 minutes. Nice. The food was great. It tasted freshly cooked, not like something that had been stewing for hours. I ordered my Pad Thai Medium-Hot and I think I"ll be ordering it Hot next time as it didn't have nearly the kick as most places give with this request. My wife liked her Red Curry dish but commented that the Curry sauce, while more runny than usual, was still pretty good. We did not receive chopsticks and were told by the driver that we need to request them next time. Not a big deal. While I wasn't overwhelmed by the place, I'll certainly order again and look forward to eating my leftovers! FYI...you have to order a minimum of $23 in food for delivery and they charge $3 for delivery.

One Word to describe the food here: DISGUSTING. Everything was either deep fried to a crispy greasy mess, or undercooked to a soggy mess. Nothing tasted the way it should or had the ingredients that they described on the menu. AND, the best part is I found a hair in my food. It was a very short black hair and they actually told me it could be mine. I have long auburn hair, there is no way it was mine. Never again. I am giving one star only because I have to and because I am thrilled I didn't get food poisoning

Ok, Weird review. Weird because I haven't eaten here. I wanted to. I mean, i planned to when I drove over there. jasmine rice is a little place on narraganset just south of belmont. It was a good day that day. the sun was out, traffic was light and as luck would have it, i found a parking space right in front of the restaurant. I hopped out of my car, and walked in. with a simple twist of the knob i push the door open. suddenly and without warning im slapped across the face with the smell of old wet dirty rags. the place smells horribly bad. I dismiss it, and wait to be seated. the waitress walks up and asks if im dining in. i say yes and she points to a table and says, 'have a seat" i pull out the rickety old seat and sit down. i have no idea what held that chair together. i can't help but notice that the decor is pretty lackluster and they're blasting country music. the whole time the waitress is walking around the restaurant yelling over the music keeping a conversation with someone sitting on the other side of the joint. The stink is getting to me, but i held firm. I figured id try the sushi. I ask what their california roll was and she said it was avacado and cucumber. but that its cooked. huh? i thought. "avacado and cucumber?" i asked. "yes" she replied. "cooked?" i said with a bewildered tone. "yes" she said. "all our sushi is cooked. nothing raw". I said, "oh ok" at that point, the smell, the yelling, the country music, and now the cooked sushi was just too much. I politely gave back the menu and said "well, thanks anyway" and walked out. I've seen some good reviews for jasmine rice online and i remember eating at this place about 10 yrs ago when it was in another location. Don't remember the food though so I can't imagine it was too great but you never know. I mean c'mon Papa johns is flourishing so someone somewhere likes it. as for me, i'll just go somewhere else.

Smells like an old wet rag in this place. Crappy service. No deal!

I've been a few times - once I walked in to order take-out, it took them a LONG time to get my order together even though the restaurant was almost completely empty, and like the other reviewers have said, they play loud music, lots of 'boy band' type stuff. The sign advertizing they have sushi is what initially drew me in-- I tried the sushi, and yes, they don't serve raw fish, only vegetables and cooked meats. The sushi was mediocre for the price in my opinion. The second time I ate in. The service was a little faster, and I felt my portion was large enough. Both times though the person behind the counter was yelling to the person in the kitchen sporadically throughout the meal. When it all boils down, the place is within walking distance from my house, and the food isn't too terrible, so it has that going for it, but don't go there looking for a fabulous Thai experience. Also, it is a BYOB restaurant.

I've only been here for lunch. They have a fantastic lunch special for $6.25!! It includes: a cup of tasty Thai chicken-noodle soup, a choice of an eggroll or spring-roll appetizer, a little cucumber salad, and your choice of about twenty entrees. Very yummy Ginger Chicken, Garlic Chicken, and extremely yummy Curries. It's located in a residential strip of the street, you could miss it if you weren't looking for it. Excellent service. One of my favorite "work" lunch spots.

Ordered delivery, the food arrived hot, the order was correct, and the delivery fellow was polite and had change. I ordered the Lad Nar and it was very good. I am not a huge fan of thai, so it is hard for me to judge, but I enjoyed this dish more than I have at other places. The price was right and the portion was large. The fried tofu was as good as I have had anywhere. The sticky rice in banana leaves was AWESOME. Two were more than enough for three of us. They are big and extremely satisfying (Whoa, that sounds dirty), and have a great coconutty, bananay, vanillay taste. The meal was enjoyable and me and both my dining partners enjoyed our food. Total bill was under $30 including 3 entrees, an appetizer (Which was huge) and dessert.
(3)John C.
Very good Thai food. I love the different duck options. Shrimp rolls are great. You need to ask for the hot red chili sauce. Delivery is usually prompt.
(4)Susan M.
we like this place, small - very clean and cozy, you forget you're on a busy street. food is great, love the fried rice, pad thai and assorted veggie dish. very good soups. simple, fresh, healthy food. delivery is quick, quicker than if you eat there (less the point). usually one little woman catering to all tables, and take out desk. good on an off night if you have time. BYOB.
(4)Sydney N.
The delivery was fast and the driver very polite, but the sauce for the Pad Se-Ewe was bitter not sweet and the chicken was very dry. One star for fast delivery and one star for the Shrimp Rolls which were tasty, but nothing special.
(2)Kevin G.
I have eaten at this place numerous times, I love this place. The chicken panang is fucking amazing. The crab rangoon is fucking amazing. I love sitting down at this place and drinking 6 tall boys of PBR and talking to the crazy old man that says panang should be made with weed. I agree with him wholeheartedly. But today was a different day. I was eating and I noticed a cockroach was crawling his happy ass all over the walls and what not. I was kind of high from smoking a bowl earlier but I was certainly not imagining this. This place is fucking filthy and I will never recommend it to anyone, ever. I used to bring all my friends here to show them how good the food was, what a fucking idiot I was. I wish I could rate it zero stars but I guess everyone deserves just a little bit. Fuck 'em. Avoid this place like the plague. I will be.
(1)Lena M.
I've ordered so many times here now that I have learned what is best for me to avoid & which dishes to stick with. Also, I pick up my food now, rather than getting it delivered. Nick, the owner, is very friendly & always remembers me when I call in. Never eaten in, but the restaurant is cute, cozy, & looks clean.

We have been going here for a long time! We love it! There is better but they are consistent. Always can get a table, my 8 yr.loves it, everyone it friendly and great thai food!
(4)Patricia R.
I'm glad I came across this gem. My friend and I were looking for a quick and decent thai place and to our surprise, we ended up here ans loved it! The food is authentic, fresh, and delicious. The service was excellent and also very clean.
(5)Bethany M.
Ordered the seafood and tofu pad thai, & my boyfriend had the tofu fried rice. A bit pricey, but the food was good nonetheless.
(3)Jamie B.
1 star because the driver was personable and the food was hot. Overall the udon noodle soup and crab rangoon were both suspiciously sweet. Could only stomach a couple of the rangoons and a bite of the soup. Even the udon noodles were bad. Soggy outside and rubbery inside with a hint of dish soap.
(1)Renee K.
3.5 stars: Our go-to neighborhood thai place. The food has been good here but recently they've been skimming on the portions and meats inside the curries. I've eaten here but mostly have called for delivery. There aren't any Thai choices in the area so when we are craving it and can't go far this is where we order. 4-star tasty food but has been declining to 3.5/3 status. To the owners: please try harder with the authenticity of the food. We want to love you and give you 5-stars but you've gotta step up the game! Take sushi off your list and go all out perfecting Thai food in this area!!! I need you to stay around! Best choices: green curry, masaman curry, thai basil fried rice, pad see ewe.
(3)Magda P.
Great Thai food, the veggie egg rolls are divine, the only thing about the place is that its just a little bit on the pricy side
(4)Lynelle O.
This place is very under rated. Very good food and service. It's a hidden gem in the west side of Chicago
(4)Jinx K.
It was ok. I judge a Thai place by the Pad Thai and it was terrible. Curry rice was ok but definitely too pricy for the low quality that it is.
(3)Superbe G.
I do not recommend eating at this restaurant. I ordered a few dishes and everything was so bland and not fresh. It started with the delivery man where he was arguing and cursing at the neighbors because they wanted him to move his vehicle to the side so they could get through. I ordered the crab rangoon, chicken satay, egg rolls, pad thai chicken, thai fried shrimp, chicken teriyaki, and mixed vegetable shrimp. I was not able to taste the difference between any of them other than the teriyaki sauce. It looked as if they scrapped the rice from the bottom of the pot and put it into containers for me. The crab rangoon and egg rolls were old. They were hard, with no taste. I love thai food, but this place is a joke. Sorry Jasmine Rice..
(1)Kienna B.
Went here for a quick dinner with a friend and it was very peaceful and adorable. The food was very tasty (crab rangoon), and one dish filled my stomach. Though the service is not on fleek.
(3)Luis P.
I would highly recommend this place. I ordered the Spicy Basil, which is as the title states, spicy. The waitress gave me an option of 1 through 10 on how spicy I wanted my meal. I said a 6, and it was a very good spice. I also ordered the Thai Ice Tea. The plate size is reasonable for the price. A meal for two will run around 20-40 dollars. However, if that's too high or you just don't feel like spending too much, then consider showing up between 11am and 3pm for the lunch specials. I have not tried any of the lunch specials but other reviewers thought it was worth mentioning. Overall, your looking at a reasonable price establishment, a calm environment, and a satisfied stomach. I highly recommend the Spicy Basil with chicken.
(4)Christina G.
This used to be my favorite Thai Restaurant, have ordered from this place for years. The food was always great & fresh whether I ate there or had it delivered. Sadly, recent experiences have been so poor that I will no longer waste or money or time with this restaurant. Bland, seasoned incorrectly, cooked badly (burnt/pan scrapings etc) sparse ingredients, heavy on the onions and little of anything else. Portion sizes are now tiny & no rice provided. Prices are higher & delivery was ridiculous - over an hour & we are only 2 blocks away! Specific items that we have ordered over the years that now are ABYSMAL : Panang curry: sauce was tasty, but portion size was miniscule, you had to seriously search to find the few tiny bits of alleged "chicken" in it & a few peas & a whole lot of poorly cooked onions. Beef salad: TINY portion (and I mean even tinier than it ever was in the past - ridiculous for the price), very little meat, dressing was straight sugar - and what meat there was appeared to be leftover hamburger -- the lettuce was disgusting, wilted, soggy & old tasting. Tom Ka: broth too sweet - overloaded with SUGAR (again?) , very little chicken or veg in it, again a crapload of poorly cooked onions and no rice provided with it. We also foolishly tried Maki - awful, rice was warm, mushy and unpleasant. Just gross - and expensive, to boot. Very sad to have to give this place a poor rating, after enjoying it in the past, but can no longer recommend it :(
(1)Angie C.
One of my favorite Thai Restaurants!! The food is very good and the place is cozy, it may be small but worth every penny. I recommend to dine in its much better. Beef Pad Thai is great I always order it.
(4)Allison V.
This place is disgusting. I am not a picky eater at all, but my food was inedible. I ordered the Pad Woon Sen (my favorite Thai dish) and it was a pool of oil with a few noodles and some slimy chicken. I took one bite and that was it. It tasted like it was cooked in burnt or dirty oil. The Crab Rangoon was not good either and it came with a chunky sauce. The only part of our order that was actually good was the chicken rice soup. I called to ask for a refund for just the bowl of oil they call pad woon sen. They told me "no, that is the way we cook our food."
(1)Spending M.
My favorite place for pad thai chicken and fried rice pineapple
(5)Virgina W.
My first experience was just okay I ordered the Udon soup w/beef and I thought that it was very plain tasting, a little bland but still good.
(3)Camila H.
I've been going to Jasmine Rice for about 3-4 years now. I know they changed owners around 2 years ago, but I didn't see a decline in their delicious food or service. The lunch special is great. You get an entree (I usually get pad thai w/ chicken), a soup, and 2 crab rangoons. The people who work here are really sweet, and although sometimes they are difficult to understand, they always bring great food. The food always comes quickly, warm and it's delicious! The portions are on the bigger side, but it's always nice to have something to take home. The place itself isn't too big, but it's never uncomfortably full or anything like that. There is street parking in front and I believe there's two side streets incredibly close by that you can also park on. I've brought a couple of friends here, and they've all loved it.
(4)Robin S.
Wow! Have eaten thai food pretty much everywhere (yes, even in Thailand) but their green curry is phenomenal! Crab Rangoon is also fabulous. Pad See Eiw and Pad Thai as well. Funny.....I've never eaten at the restaurant; only ordered for delivery.
(5)S P.
My favorite Thai restaurant hands down. Best most authentic Thai food. But since its the real deal, it's not really adapted to American palates as well as other places. I like that type of thing, I tend to eat very spicy and I like strong flavors. Nam sod n pad thai spicy number 8, if you can handle it
(5)Rick M.
Great food, nice staff. 5 stars for Eat in, carry out, but delivery isn't up to the task. I was told 45 min but it took almost twice that and this isnt the first time for that. Next time I'll order local pizza. I'm hoping that another great Thai place will open closer
(3)Jackie M.
My boyfriend and I have never eaten in the actual restaurant, but we order delivery from here once or twice a week, literally. Their food is just delicious, there are no two ways around it. Their curry is the absolute best -- we have tried every kind and each one is as good as the last. My favorite is yellow, my boyfriend's favorite is mussaman. The pad se-ewe is also really good, very traditional and tasty. Their one delivery driver is a really nice guy, and we always try to tip him well. I'd rate this place 5 stars, except that I think the prices are a LITTLE high, and the portions are a bit small. If they re-worked their prices a bit, I think this place would be perfect as far as Thai delivery.
(4)E.A. H.
This place is on my way home from work...so is a convenient place to stop in for some carry out. I'm not sure where the issues with the place being clean come from. Sure...it hasn't been redecorated in the last decade...and it's more "neighborhood place" than date night...but it's not smelly. I've never seen any little brown buddies either. I've also never had a problem with the speed of the service. It's made to order...so no...it's not as fast as going to Panda Express...but I think my longest wait has been 15 minutes...and that was a pretty complicated order. It only gets four stars because it's GOOD Thai food...but nothing out of the ordinary. Personally...I'm not a fan of maki rolls with my Thai food...so the fact they serve some sushi is just a testament to the fact the neighborhood doesn't have a sushi place. Anyway...go for casual Thai when you're craving Red Curry...and you're passing by. Don't go out of your way for it...your neighborhood Thai place is probably exactly the same.
(4)Tim S.
Being from out of town we decided to try a different Thai restaurant this time around. We usually go to Yum Thai in Forest Park. Its good solid Thai food, but recently the service has gone downhill. It's not often that there is free parking in front of a restaurant in Chicago, so I started off with a smile before we even walked in. The restaurant is small,and quaint. However, two things I noticed immediately upon arrival: The big screen TV in the front of the restaurant tuned to Nickelodeon....(BIG TURNOFF), and secondly, the small size of the tables. Hmmm The staff was very friendly (2 points!) and the prices seemed reasonable and in line with other Thai restaurants of equal size. I am perplexed with the need to include Japanese fare on the back side of the menu. The Tom Yum Soup was not that good....overpoweringly sweet in taste, it lacked the spiciness that I am accustomed to....I'm getting worried that this might be a disaster..but, when my Noodles Supreme #D6 was brought to the table, what it lacked in presentation ,lots of noodles..some beef and a scant few veggies, it made up for in taste. I ordered it 7 out of 10 in "hotness", and it was spot on. My family ordered the green curry....which they said was good, but nothing special. My daughter ordered Pad Thai. She always orders Pad Thai and never seems to complain (nor rave) about it at any of the many Thai restaurants we've taken her to. BYOB is a huge reason we come to places like this, and with no insane corkage fee, this place automatically gets another 2 points. The portions did not seem to be what I would expect at a typical Thai restaurant...that is, both my daughter and I finished our meals with no leftovers...I wont hold it against them, maybe we were extra hungry. All in all its a good restaurant, not a great restaurant hence the 3 star rating.
(3)Kathy M.
Come on people! I was on a hunt for some asian type of food and refused to go to three other places on the way home from a sad event. My son loves Thai food. I found this place on my smartphone search. The place was friendly welcoming. There was NO smell. They were playing some very soothing Japanese type music. We stopped here at about 8:30 p.m. on a Tuesday. The waitress immediately took our order and brought out our food so timely. The place is small but with enough tables. It is not decorated the most modern but very nice and clean. Funny that one thing that I noticed was that it was NOT smelly of that fried sort of oily smell that other places have. My son wasn't feeling too well (moodwise) , so the lady immediately packed our food very nicely and even offered to put his Thai iced coffee in a 'go' cup. I will definitely be back. The food was excellent. The noodle soup, curry beef fried rice and California rolls were perfect. Fair is fair!
(4)Tom P.
Surprised to read some of the negativity on here. Doesn't seem like you can take Kevin G's ridiculous review esp. when he's talking about smoking bowls and seeing cockroaches. Jasmine Rice is a good local thai place. Nothing fancy but the food is pretty good esp. compared to other Thai places I've been to in the city. I've never had a problem with service hte few times I've been there. So it doesn't look fancy like some people have stated but its more of a local place and its not like every Thai place looks fancy....i've seen worse.

I met some friends for dinner there on a Saturday & was a little worried over what to find because of the negative reviews. All I can say is Kevin G. must have been stoned out of his mind. The place was way cleaner than most of the Thai places I've been to in this city. The owners must have finally heard enough people asking for the music to be turned down, because there was some kind of Thai-pop in the background, but it wasn't at all loud. So, what about the food? It was good. I'm not going to rave about it, but I was happy. I had the Mussaman Curry Beef, which was nicely spiced & had good quality, fresh ingredients. The spring rolls were better than average as well. The Thai Iced Coffee was ok. A little weak for my taste, but I'm a hopeless caffeine junky, so your mileage may vary. The portions were generous, but not huge. I was famished & still had a little bit left over. So, is it worth trucking out to Belmont & Narragansett if you live in Rogers Park? Heck no! There are lots of amazing, inexpensive Thai places in town. Opart Thai & Arroy Thai in the Lincoln Square/Ravenswood neighborhood are two of my faves, but if you live on the Northwest side don't let the stoners & posters from the competition stop you from ordering from Jasmine Rice or dropping in for a good meal.
(3)Miguel V.
Been here a couple of times, Its a decent thai place, and its ALWAYS clean. They are also very friendly, i remember the second time I went there with my friends, we got there around 20 minutes after the stop serving lunch specials, but the owner (i think he's the owner) still let us order from that menu, and everything was tasty.
(4)Anjee J.
Had I not seen Kevin G's review about cockroaches crawling around in broad daylight, I would've been a weekly regular here to this day. I did, in fact, used to eat here or get take out very frequently when it first opened. Everything I tried was pretty damn good, especially given the fact that it's a random Thai place in the middle of nowhere (as far as dining goes). I was SO thrilled to have good Thai food a few blocks away from me, it seemed like a fuckin' luxury. Great appetizers, spicy noodles, Pad Thai, curries... Just everything, seriously. However, I do have to admit that I stopped coming here ever since I saw that review a few months ago. :( While I feel that tons of restaurants probably have some kind of covert critter/sanitation issue that patrons aren't aware of, I just can't stomach eating somewhere where this issue has surfaced. There's been times I've considered it, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. Rats, sure; cockroaches, ughhh... *suppresses shudder* So, I'm very skeptical now, and its remote location further leads me to question the freshness of the food/cleanliness of the establishment. Which is a shame, since I really did love the shit out of this place. However, if you're more forgiving than I am, I do have to say that they have some really, really great food and I almost wish I never found out what I did, goddamn it. It's the only place you can get your Thai fix for miles around!
(3)Sarah M.
I love this little Thai place! It's quiet so when I go for lunch with a friend we have the place to ourselves. Their lunch specials include a cup of yummy soup and two crab rangoons, for $6.25! Their food is fresh and cooked to order. I can hear them cooking it after I place my order. Try the coconut bubble tea! I don't know why there are so many negative reviews on here. I will come back here all the time and always bring a friend to try it with me!
(5)Elvis G.
Great Food. I have tried various Thai restaurants and by far this is the best restaurant. Price is reasonable, food quantity is just perfect. I recommend you try this restaurant. Thanks, EG
(4)Rachel S.
I woke up late this fine Sunday afternoon and when my husband and our friend in the next room were deliberating over what to do I jumped at the opportunity to suggest FOOD. We typically head over to Jess Cafe when it comes to Thai food but we thought we'd do something different today. Let me tell you, it was a waste of time. We were very hungry and wound up waiting something like 50 minutes for our three meals to come. I'm glad we'd ordered an appetizer--the spring rolls. They were lackluster but helped us not eat the tablecloth while we waited. And waited. And waited. I've never had more bad things to say about a restaurant. Even the water tasted funny and was disgustingly unrefreshing. While waiting we were tortured by the worst music. At first it was funny to joke that our friend was being culturally insensitive because didn't he know everyone listens to second rate boy bands in Thailand? But when the rest of the country ballads and smooth jazz managed to give us all ticks, we'd had enough. When our food came--I had the Pad Kei Mao with vegetables, my husband had the Noodle Supreme with vegetables and our friend had the Bangkok chicken. Our friend was just glad to have some food in front of him finally, but my husband and I were equally unimpressed by our food. Too salty, not spicy, and too small of portions. If you're in the neighborhood, head over to Jess Cafe--they have much of the same on the menu (if not more), plus way faster service, huge portions, and the service is typically fantastic. Way more Bangkok for your buck.

Order delivery from Jasmine Rice last night in spite of the horrid reviews regarding the cleanliness of the place. Figured I could pretend I had never read them if I was eating the stuff in my own house. I ordered my food from their website and in spite of the order receipt stating that it would arrive in 30-60 minutes, it arrived in about 25 minutes. Nice. The food was great. It tasted freshly cooked, not like something that had been stewing for hours. I ordered my Pad Thai Medium-Hot and I think I"ll be ordering it Hot next time as it didn't have nearly the kick as most places give with this request. My wife liked her Red Curry dish but commented that the Curry sauce, while more runny than usual, was still pretty good. We did not receive chopsticks and were told by the driver that we need to request them next time. Not a big deal. While I wasn't overwhelmed by the place, I'll certainly order again and look forward to eating my leftovers! FYI...you have to order a minimum of $23 in food for delivery and they charge $3 for delivery.

Ok, Weird review. Weird because I haven't eaten here. I wanted to. I mean, i planned to when I drove over there. jasmine rice is a little place on narraganset just south of belmont. It was a good day that day. the sun was out, traffic was light and as luck would have it, i found a parking space right in front of the restaurant. I hopped out of my car, and walked in. with a simple twist of the knob i push the door open. suddenly and without warning im slapped across the face with the smell of old wet dirty rags. the place smells horribly bad. I dismiss it, and wait to be seated. the waitress walks up and asks if im dining in. i say yes and she points to a table and says, 'have a seat" i pull out the rickety old seat and sit down. i have no idea what held that chair together. i can't help but notice that the decor is pretty lackluster and they're blasting country music. the whole time the waitress is walking around the restaurant yelling over the music keeping a conversation with someone sitting on the other side of the joint. The stink is getting to me, but i held firm. I figured id try the sushi. I ask what their california roll was and she said it was avacado and cucumber. but that its cooked. huh? i thought. "avacado and cucumber?" i asked. "yes" she replied. "cooked?" i said with a bewildered tone. "yes" she said. "all our sushi is cooked. nothing raw". I said, "oh ok" at that point, the smell, the yelling, the country music, and now the cooked sushi was just too much. I politely gave back the menu and said "well, thanks anyway" and walked out. I've seen some good reviews for jasmine rice online and i remember eating at this place about 10 yrs ago when it was in another location. Don't remember the food though so I can't imagine it was too great but you never know. I mean c'mon Papa johns is flourishing so someone somewhere likes it. as for me, i'll just go somewhere else.

Smells like an old wet rag in this place. Crappy service. No deal!
(1)Megan B.
I've been a few times - once I walked in to order take-out, it took them a LONG time to get my order together even though the restaurant was almost completely empty, and like the other reviewers have said, they play loud music, lots of 'boy band' type stuff. The sign advertizing they have sushi is what initially drew me in-- I tried the sushi, and yes, they don't serve raw fish, only vegetables and cooked meats. The sushi was mediocre for the price in my opinion. The second time I ate in. The service was a little faster, and I felt my portion was large enough. Both times though the person behind the counter was yelling to the person in the kitchen sporadically throughout the meal. When it all boils down, the place is within walking distance from my house, and the food isn't too terrible, so it has that going for it, but don't go there looking for a fabulous Thai experience. Also, it is a BYOB restaurant.

I've only been here for lunch. They have a fantastic lunch special for $6.25!! It includes: a cup of tasty Thai chicken-noodle soup, a choice of an eggroll or spring-roll appetizer, a little cucumber salad, and your choice of about twenty entrees. Very yummy Ginger Chicken, Garlic Chicken, and extremely yummy Curries. It's located in a residential strip of the street, you could miss it if you weren't looking for it. Excellent service. One of my favorite "work" lunch spots.
