Jaiwai Thai Kitchen

We enjoyed it and will be back. We had green curry (spice level 4) and shrimp spring rolls. I loved the peanut sauce/dip of spring roll, but they had been prepared earlier because the rice wrap was a little tough. The green curry was tasty and spice level wasn’t bad at all. The tofu was too chewy but the chicken was excellent. The rice was a big disappointment for me - a little on the gummy side rather than just sticky. Service was good, but had to pour my water in my husbands glass because no one was checking it. She did bring it when I flagged her down. Overall, the service was very good: prompt and courteous.

Good Thai. Little on the expensive side. Bowl of chicken Tom kha and pad see ewe will run you $20.

There was no request for spice level when ordering. Had to ask for additional hot sauce. They'll provide their own sauce and Sriracha.

The gluten free pad Thai didn't have any sauce, but was still tasty.

I’ve dined-in and gotten takeout here for years but have admittedly been horrible at leaving reviews. But I’m a realtor now and have a newfound understanding of the importance, so I’m sitting in JaiWai for dinner as I write this review. This is a great little underrated Thai place on the Georgetown square. Location is perfect for a meal before or after walking around and checking out all the shops. My go-tos are the basil fried rice, prik king, pad kee mao, and yellow curry. I get everything spice level 5 and have never been disappointed in flavor, portion, or presentation. If you enjoy Thai food, definitely check it out!

Food was really good, we liked how you can adjust the spicy heat level. The chicken teriyaki was great, the combo meat fried rice was also good, just wish there was more meat. We look forward to trying other dishes from them.

Not the same quality anymore. So sad. Like other restaurants on the Georgetown square, high food costs and labor overall are killing quality and quantity.

The Thai Fried Rice with combo meat was nothing but mushy rice, the meat was barely there. No veggies. HORRIBLE.

We have always loved Jaiwai, and this is sad.

I surely hope they fix this and actually start serving quality and quantity again soon.

Go with the Pad Kee Mao. Delicious flavor and perfectly cooked rice noodles. I got spice level five and I found it to be not as spicy as I was thinking it might be. It was actually perfect for me!

Ordered delivery and this is what we get in our food. This is dangerous. Be careful when ordering from here. Paid too much money for them to mess up the order. Never ordering from here again.

Their green curry and cheese rolls are delicious! Definitely recommend!!

Jaiwai is the best Thai place in Georgetown (and Austin). I dine or or get take out almost once a week from here. My favorite place to eat in Georgetown. The Pad Kee Mao and the Basil Fried rice are must haves!

Dietary restrictions: Went all the time with my two friends. Between the three of us we cannot eat dairy, eggs, meat, gluten, or nuts and we always had many choices and could even eat the same dish!

Just ordered takeout- got a tofu pad Thai and Thai iced tea. Tofu was definitely overcooked/tough and the rest of the dish contains a lot of oil. For the pad Thai being the most popular item, I’m shocked. It’s not bad, but it wasn’t great either. This pales in comparison to other Thai places I been that are much more flavorful. A little disappointed to hear that this is “some of the best Thai in the Austin area.” As for the Thai iced tea, it was enjoyable, but not enough so that I will be back. Had the right balance of sweetness, spices, and milk.
