Stopped in after work with a friend to enjoy some authentic Indonesian cuisine. It’s so cool that there is such a place in Carson City.
Boy was I impressed! I’ve been to Indo a couple of times and I was transported right back. Nasi Goreng was amazing! The staff were real, friendly and welcoming - our server patiently and thoughtfully walked a couple next to us through Indonesian cuisine. I found this genuine and endearing… it is probable that not many people in Carson have loads of experience with this relatively “niche” cuisine.
WiFi would be a nice touch, and it is unfortunate that it’s in a casino - but I would suggest overlooking these two points for a fun exploration of Indonesian cuisine in the capable hands of the gentlemen running this establishment!

Stopped in here for a quick bite after hearing rave reviews and was not disappointed! I had the mango curry with shrimp and my friend had their red curry. Delicious, fresh, loaded with flavor and veg and spice! Super nice duo, friendly and prompt service. We will be back!

This place was fantastic! Came here with my husband today and we got the gyoza for our starter which was soooo good! The sauces that come on top of them were delicious. For our entrees we got the teri burger and the coconut shrimp po boy. Both of those were amazing! I really wish I got pictures of our food. We will definitely be returning. They have a great selection on the menu there’s a lot more I’m looking forward to trying. The service was also 10/10! Such sweet gentlemen were running the place.

I can't rate the food because we never got that far. Four of us walked in the casino and approached this place not realizing it was only counter service, within the casino, not a separate restaurant with tables. We stopped, had a discussion, and decided to go elsewhere as we preferred a different atmosphere for our dinner. Well, some guy behind the counter saw our hesitation and decided to mouth off..."we were making a mistake, our loss, and don't let the door hit us on the way out". That's an unfortunate response to likely future patrons. I had read all the great reviews of the food and we likely would have been back at another time when we were in the mood for a lunch counter atmosphere, but his attitude was inappropriate and unappreciated....so highly unlikely we'll return. So Tee Jay's Corner's loss !!!
Owner responded right away... glad that you won't come back and repeated the " don't let the door hit ya" ...line. Response has now been edited. Wow, crazy way to run a business! No surprise....it was the owner that doesn't have his name on it!

A Dismal Display of Customer Service: We Will Never Return
My family and I planned on trying Tee Jays for the first as a celebration dinner for my Birthday.
I cannot comment on their food, as I never got the opportunity to try it. What I can comment on, however, is the absolutely appalling behavior of the cook and owner, which left my family and I stunned and deeply disappointed.
My family was unaware that the restaurant was only bar stool seating with counter service. After realizing this, we paused to discuss whether this was the atmosphere we wanted for dinner. Our hesitation apparently triggered the ire of the man behind the counter. Instead of letting us quietly deliberate, he decided to chime in with sarcastic and downright rude remarks, proclaiming we were "making a mistake" and that it was “our loss.” If that wasn’t bad enough, as we turned to leave, he mockingly added, “Don’t let the door kick you in the a** on the way out!”
This kind of condescending and unprofessional attitude is, frankly, unacceptable in any business. Customers should feel welcomed, not ridiculed for making a personal dining decision. What’s more, when one of our party left a review detailing this experience, the owner of the restaurant responded, doubling down on the snide remarks rather than apologizing or trying to salvage the situation. Though their response is now edited, the damage to their reputation was done—because this is apparently how they think it’s acceptable to treat potential patrons.
Tee Jay’s Corner may have glowing reviews for its food, but it seems those accolades have done nothing to foster humility or respect in its management. For us, this was a reminder that good food doesn’t matter when served with a side of arrogance and disdain. Tee Jay’s Corner didn’t just lose our business that evening—they’ve lost it permanently.
If you’re looking for a meal served with dignity and hospitality, look elsewhere.
I recently went to Tee Jay’s for the first time. I had one of the curry dishes. I never realized there was a restaurant in cactus Jacks . The atmosphere is a little funky, but the food was very good and wait staff were attentive. I will go back and try some of their other meal selections.

I have had everything from the grilled cheese, to the pad Thai, to some custom creations and I am convinced that they do not know how to make a bad meal! This is definitely one of my favorite places to go! The people are incredible there! 6 out of 5!

DO NOT let the sketchy casino that you have to walk through stop you from enjoying the fresh and fantastic food at Tee Jay's Corner. I had the ginger noodles and my husband the pad thai. It's worth the walk through the smoke to enjoy.

Don't let the fact that it's in an old/dated casino deter you, this place is amazing. The staff is more than friendly and the food is amazing. I had the best burger in Carson City there and it was definitely one of the best burgers I've ever had, ever. The crossover and Indonesian foods are also amazing, haven't had anything yet I would not reorder or recommend to anyone. I enjoy watching them prepare the plates- all the ingredients are fresh and you can tell that they care and love what they do. This is a hidden gem!
