By Jai Thai

Small Thai restaurant amongst a tiny strip of shops. Food was average and felt welcomed in this family friendly restaurant. Can get very noisy as it’s hard furniture on tiles. Family friendly is great, unless you have a screaming kids on next table, which I did… As well as their loud parents who successfully ignored their kids call for attention. Would still go back. (For convenience, not the aural experience.

«Tears rolling down my face!» oh… makes me think of a song. oh that mild beef dish has «taken my breathe away». As I choked back the tears and struggled to squeak out a sound… like «more water» I realise that this Thai dish was a lot hotter than I expected. Just thinking of it brings a redness to my face.
I was so grateful for the other delicious dishes of: chicken cashew stir fry, the plain boiled rice and the lamb potato dish that was with a creamy sauce. I had thought my companions and I had mis read the menu completely but a little hot for the lass meant «bloody burning for me». I will know for the future to not have anything hot at this place.
It was a quiet night at By Jai, it was cold and wet and at least the dinner heated the cockles of my heart, or «put a fire in my belly». This place has had a few name changes but it still is the same. It has a good take away customer service.
The waitress was very pleasant and the meals were freshly cooked. It is not expensive and there is no corkage charge… which helped the group guzzle down a few reds.
I will return! It is my local Thai.
