I had dinner here last night for the first time and it was a great experience. The ambiance, food, and service were all fantastic. I had the vegetable spring rolls and pad see ew. I was honestly impressed by how diligently the staff kept my water glass filled, since I had been out shopping all afternoon and drank like 9 glasses... I will definitely be back.

It was my first time in this restaurant. I enjoyed my dinner with my friends here. The food and the service were top-notch. The waiter was very kind and nice. He asked us if there was a special occasion because we were in a group of four. And we told him it was a friend’s birthday soon. He surprised us with a birthday candle and dessert. That was very sweet of him. Will go back again! Highly recommend it!

Everything at JJ was excellent! The Crispy Duck Salad was definitely the highlight of the meal. Next time I'm in Philly, I will be heading back to JJs for that dish. The restaurant is an interesting mix of Thai and French- sometimes fusion and sometimes not. The French Onion soup was the traditional dish and was delicious. The Massaman Short Rib, was more like a fusion dish, blending the slow roasted short rib with Thai curry flavors. This dish was excellent, and definitely on the heavy side- so maybe not the best choice if you are about to hit the many cocktail bars in the area after dinner. We also had the Pad Gra Paw- a traditional thai chile and basil dish (we ordered it with chicken). Wonderfully spiced. I strongly recommend getting reservations for JJ. They are BYOB, so bring your favorite wine or beer to pair with their food.

JJ Thai is my favorite restaurant in Philadelphia! I have been here too many times to count. The food is delicious, the prices are great, the service is perfect, it's BYOB, the location is excellent - what more could you possibly ask for in a restaurant. I bring everyone who visits Philly to this place. It feels like a true family owned restaurant. It is always fully packed and for good reason. Don't miss out on this incredible gem :)

Wonderful place and atmosphere - I would definitely come back! There was no wait when we got there so we had quick seating. To start we had Tom Yum Goong which was my boyfriend’s favorite and Tom Kha Gai which was my favorite of the two. As our main we got the drunken noodles and Pad See Ew. We both had a cup of their coconut juice that was delicious.
