Pretty good thai food. Wish they had Thai basil, hoisin sauce, and fresh like for the pho. But if you get creative at the table with the oyster sauce, soy sauce and the peanut sauce, you can really develop some deeper flavors.

Yum! I will always stop in here when Im traveling in the area. I had spring rolls and pad thai. I enjoyed the location too - nearby bookstore and coffee shop in older buildings.

Delicious Thai food! Love everything I’ve tried. The new special, Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, are worth a try. Pho, pad Thai, chicken on a stick, and brisket are just a few of our favorites! Definitely a good place to eat.

I was glad to find a restaurant with vegan options in Russellville. I was surprised they still were not offering dine in options in November, but I had the order delivered to the hotel so that worked out fine. I ordered medium spicy and it had an excellent spice factor and good flavor. I didn’t like how they did the tofu, it was a little slimy and there were not very many vegetables. I didn’t like the sauce that came with the spring rolls but I just used some of the sauce from my entrée. Good portion size. Really 3.5 stars

The staff is always welcoming and nice and the food is flavorful and in large portions. They are doing to-go orders for the pandemic as well. The food is a little pricey, but you will get a lot of food on your plate.

This place might be small but they give a BIG plate of rice! I ordered thai rice with chicken and got a good 12in plate full. It was really tasty. It came with two made fresh egg rolls with peanut sauce( if you like peanuts ,I suggest trying this sauce:) My husband had a mixed meat plate with chicken and brisket with sticky rice,also very tasty. If youre looking for something different; less cornbread and potatoes and more lean meat and rice, go try Thai!

Tried this place because my daughter is going to school in Russellville next year, and she loves Thai food. She ordered the Pad Thai....chewy chicken, ok at best. The curry is made with frozen soup mix vegetables (green beans, carrots, potatoes, corn, and peas) and is very, very thick...like gravy. It tasted like a spicy pot pie with rice in place of crust. It was not good...at all. When we went to pay, I gave the employee my card and said nothing. She asked how was everything? I said, it was ok, not my favorite. I didnt like the frozen vegetables. She said, everything is made to order, dont order it with them. I said, well, I didnt know they would be frozen...the menu says that its made with potato and carrot, which I would expect. Well, its made to order, so just get it without vegetables. I said, then it would be chicken and gravy. To which she raised her voice and said, everyone has their own opinion, sooo. Wow!! Incredibly rude. Dont ask how was everything if you cant handle the answer!!! Lousy food, RUDE staff!

Being a family-owned and operated restaurant, service is great! Everyone is friendly and caring. The food quality and flavor is not disappointing. Atmosphere and cleanliness is on par. If you are a local, consider this a 5-star review and ignore the rest of it. Now, if you are a tourist from out of town, the authenticity might disappoint you. The fried rice is made Chinese-style with green beans and diced carrot for vegetable. Pad Thai is also made Chinese-style with sweet soy sauce. The Papaya salad lacks sourness from lime juice. Though we are quite disappointed, their local reputation is solid and no change is ever needed as their wouldnt be enough tourist traffic to convince. Authenticity aside, Kob Jai is definitely recommended.

I ordered the pad thai, and I was pretty disappointed. Positives, the dish was tasty, the veggies fresh. Negatives: The noodles werent sticky how pad thai should be, the dish lackes authentic Thai flavors. Im giving a 3 star,mostly because the customer service was good and even though the dish lacked authenticity, it was still tasty.

This is definitely my favorite spot in town. The food is great, the service is great and its locally owned. The owners are very nice people as well.7/17/18 - Not realizing it had been a year since i had visited one of my favorite dine -ins, I decided to go to Kob Jai for lunch today.As before, I was not disappointed. The brisket tips, rice and egg rolls were very good. If youre ever in the mood for a big rib-eye steak, this is the place to go. Their steaks are extremely good.

Review №33

Ordered the red curry with tofu and shrimp and the pad Thai with chicken. Curry had great spice and flavor, but the tofu was two turns shy of raw. Pad Thai had good heat and flavor (ordered 2/5 heat level), but was onion heavy. 7/10 would order again- used Door Dash.

The food rocks, the tea is AMAZING, and they have vegetarian options. the staff was decent. one of the girls working there seemed a little blah, but whatever because the others were really friendly. If youre afraid of trying a new cuisine you dont have to worry about it with this place. the food was definitely different from most places around here but it wasnt overly exotic. trust me. dont be intimidated. youll really like this place.

I dont know why it doesnt get much business. The food is great. Get the dinner/lunch special. The spring rolls with that awesome peanut sauce stuff, then 10 star pad Thai. Im in heaven.

Review №38

Someones demented twist of what they think Thai is I guess.Peanut sauce was peanut oil with crushed peanuts in it. Very grossThe spring rolls... iceberg lettuce and cilantroNot sure there was anything in the egg rollBut when it came to the main course chicken Phad Thai it was worse than bad. Once again with the cilantro but the chicken was rancid.The waitress was nice but the hostess was rude and condescending.We left and went somewhere else for dinner.Will definitely let our friends and family know to stay clear.

Review №39

I ordered chicken pad Thai this evening and I received meatless pad thai. When I told the girl, she looked at me with smile and said “sorry” and walked away. I only took two bite and they didn’t even asked to do anything. It simply was horrible. My fiancé’s meal was fine he said it was good, but I end up having to pay for my meal. I left the place hungry and unhappy. Cashier was nice and kind.

One of my favorite restaurants in Russellville!!! I eat here weekly and i usually get the small shrimp pho. They have a decent sized menu and lots to choose from. I havent found anything that wasnt fresh, well prepared, and served professionally. The food comes out within minutes so its a great place for lunch!

Review №42

Absolutely the best steak in Russellville!Cant say enough about how good their $20 16oz ribeye was. So juicy and flavorful! Bone in, cooked to perfection, and absolutely melt in your mouth. If youre looking for a great steak...hit this place up on Friday or Saturday night. Promise, you wont regret your decision!

Review №43

Very friendly & good service and very clean restaurant, unfortunately this was not Thai food. Zero authenticity whatsoever. The Pad Thai was watery and flavorless and for some reason had massive amounts of celery in it. The fried rice seemed like it came off of a Chinese food buffet. Spring rolls were 98% lettuce and the closest thing to peanut sauce that the “peanut sauce” was is the fact that it had some crushed peanuts floating in it. The owners seem to be able to run a restaurant well but definitely need to choose a different genre of food bc I’m not positive they have ever even eaten Thai food if this is what they think it is. 😢

What I ordered was okay. The service was good thats why the 4 stars. Unfortunately the food is not what I would consider to be Thai food. I have had Thai food many times over the years past and I know that what I ate was not authentic. It was okay though.

Review №56

You have got to try this restaurant! We are from California, where we were spoiled by all kinds of authentic eateries, but have been mostly disappointed with the ethnic food in this area. At the suggestion, of a life-long resident of Russellville, we decided to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary here...it was totally worth it. My wife had the stir fry with veggies and chicken, I had the brisket plate, and our son had the soup with shrimp...yes, we included him in the celebration! We ALL had the sticky rice, which I highly recommend. They serve it with a peanut dipping sauce that is to die for! The staff is super friendly and I believe there were 3 generations of family members working tonight. We will definately be returning here!!

Review №57

The Pad Thai, arguably the one thing a Thai restaurant should do well, was not good. At all. The sauce was too sweet and it tastes like they didnt add any salt in the seasoning.

Su
Review №58

Food is decent for a small town in Arkansas. Definitely not the best Thai food but is still alright. The pad Thai needed some siracha sauce on it but the tum yum soup was excessively spicy and was oily and came with to much tofu in it. The menu is also not that expansive.

The worst food Ive ever eaten. Their thai tea was overly sweet, peanut sauce was actually peanut oil, spring rolls were so full of lettuce you couldnt taste anything else except for the cilantro. EVERYTHING had cilantro...why??? Ive never had authentic thai food with cilantro... the wsitress was nice and she did hood, the owners wife was very rude when we complained about the food... i would never ever ho again

Went there tonight, ordered a red curry. When I received it, I was immediately hit with the unmistakable smell of spoiled meat. When a member of the staff came by and noticed I had pushed the plate away, I told her that it smelled very off. Her reply - Well, curry isnt for everyone. You either like it or you dont.First off, Ive eaten Thai in restaurants from one end of this country to the other. Ive had great curry, mediocre curry, and bad curry. Tonight was the first time Ive had rotten curry. Secondly, is it restaurant policy for staff to be so condescending and ignorant or was it just a personal decision on the part of this employee?After she removed the plate and loudly proclaimed my supposed ignorance to what curry is supposed to be, another guest requested to smell my food. The employee BROUGHT HER MY PLATE AND LET HER SMELL IT! On what planet is that appropriate?Oh, and the kicker? The other guest agreed, it smelled like spoiled meat.It wasnt bad enough trying to poison me with spoiled food, they had to put the cherry on top with some of the worst service Ive ever had. Absolute waste of time.

Someone described it in this way: It tastes like one of their mothers had a great recipe, and then they poured a bunch of brown sugar on top. Pretty accurate description, it had a good flavor, but more like americanised Asian food.

Good yellow curry, but the default spice level for their pad thai is none at all. It was very bland, maybe tailored to the tastes of people who havent had Thai food before?

I absolutely love this restaurant it is better than any new China or any mulans for any Hunans I could ever ask! The lady in there told me that you needed no sauce for your egg rolls oh my Lord I crave them everyday the Philly cheesesteak did you see Miss in my mouth! It is a bit pricey but treat yourself to it to the Philly cheesesteak egg roll and the fried rice your stomach will absolutely love you it doesnt give you heartburn you dont have a lot of gas it doesnt irritate your stomach come on out and try some KOB Jai I guarantee youll like it too! :-)

Review №86

I give it 5 stars for Russellville. They have good potential. They dont make the food too hot but I am sure they can take it to whatever level you can handle. They are obviously undercapitalized. A larger Thai-Seafood place in a good locale with a bar would be a super hit in Russellville. There is no Red Lobster here but plenty of demand. They have the potential to go big if someone with money would partner with them.
