- Is the Netflix-famous, Michelin-star-holding Jay Fai really the best street food in Bangkok? I highly doubt it. To save you time, money and nerves I went to Jay Fai to find out the truth about why it is so popular and... Is it really worth the time, money and hype.
In this video I went through all the trouble of trying the Jay Fai food so YOU DON'T HAVE TO!

Very nice place, thanks for wonderful tour, enjoy my new friend
Thank you for your comment! :)
Good video with realistic point of view.
Thank you 🙏
Very nice just what I was looking for before I decide to go.
Thank you for your comment! I’m glad my video helped🙏
Hey Monkey thanks for sharing it makes my decision easier!!! I won’t wait any longer than 1 hour to eat anywhere in the world for anything. Might be worth dropping by to get some pics and videos. 😂
Thank you! Monkey Oliver at your service XD
Check the comment from @kmfa3842 There are some places, that have most of the dishes that Jay Fai has, but at 30 percent of the price and probably without any queues. I haven't tried them, but I definitely will in next couple of days.
But pictures on Google look promising.
I agree with you! I was there in september 2023. We waited in line for 5 hours… 5! What a waste of time - And the crabomelet have not much taste… I do not understand the hype 🤦🏼♂️
Thank you! Hah that’s exactly my point here. But, thank god, I at least managed to wait for the food a little less than 3 hours) Still too much though.
Spending 5 hours for anything is never worth it
How about spending 5 hours on self-education? That seems worth it 😎
@@Monkey_Oliver_812 i should have clarified, spending 5hrs in line for food is never worth it, unless if you were dead broke, starving, and they were giving away food
Hah. That seems more realistic XD
Thanks for sharing. I have been to Thailand many times and was intrigued to go here but now you have shared I definitely won't bother going. There are many other hard-working Thai chefs and amazing family-run restaurants that represent much better value than this. Seek and you will find !!
Thank you for your comment! If you check the comments on this post there are some recommendations on places that have similar menus. Even the crab omelet. And aren't overpriced and overcrowded:)
You have to get there early to avoid cues. It's costly compared to the normal street eatery. It's a basic set up... no air conditioning and run down. Overall, it's a good experience and for an Instagram/FB post.
Great example of waiting list marketing. Respect that you have made it. I would have been going home.
Thank you for the comment. Hah I waited all that time so other people don’t have to😂
Don't have to be polite. Just say it. It's a TOURIST TRAP!
Thank you for the comment. You are right.
As a thai.....my family eating sometime chez Jae Fai... More than 20 years ago...! Especially my mom...she love there.😢
But... In my opinion..... it's nothing spacial😢 it's expensive & pricey ( ok.. quality was good)
Since ....she is famous and get Michelin star...we never go again....
Now today....many many restaurants offer same things...same quality ..but...much more cheaper 😅
And again as a thai...😅 We can Cooking at home much more delicious & better...😂😂😂
Thanks for your comment🙏!
Yes, you are 100% right. There is much better and more tasty Thai food than Jay Fai.
And Thai home cooking I never tried, hopefully one day)
Why is it such a long queue? Have I missed something on Netflix?
Watch Netflix series ‘Street food Asia’ episode 1:)
And thank you for the comment🙏
just try once time and run brother haha
in my city bangkok have a lot place for eat like this 1400 bath for all haha
hope u enjoy a lot in my country ^^
So true. That’s exactly what I’m trying to say with this video.
But I don’t think people believe it after seeing a Michelin star and watching a Netflix episode. Netflix makes you want it so bad 555😂
Thank you!🙏 Enjoying it a lot!
I find Jay Fai is mainly for tourist. Try Nong Rim Klong or Hear Hai which located near you and don’t have to wait hours. And tell us know what you think compare to Jay Fai. 😊
Thank you🙏 That’s the best comment yet! I looked at the menu online and now I genuinely want to go there. Thanks for the recommendation
That's what the Thai people say about her restaurant. The place is famous, but not that the food are that extraordinary. It's just that they use premium ingredients and selling at such high prices that put the place on the headlines (both negatively and positively). I remember it was mostly criticisms at first (for being overpriced), so the rich Thai people started eating there to show off their richness or whatever, and that made the foreigners start mistaking it as a yummy restaurant.
I don’t think that rich Thai people eating here are the reason. All my friends think this place is a must-visit because of Netflix.
But they definitely get a lot of famous Thai people there. They even can get a table on time without waiting in line for half of day.
Her hustle is strong. No way any omelette is worth 1400 THB.
It's actually 1600 thb now haha. Asked 3 different couples how the food was, all of them shrugged and said "well, it was for the experience.." their disappointed looks said it all. Thankfully we skipped the wait and had a great meal next door...
Just like most places that become popular from tv shows or celebrity eaters, they are almost always overrated.
Probably Netflix makes anything it touches worse. Or just sets our expectations too high.
Not worth it all.. taste suck
Thank you for your comment. I can’t say taste is too bad, just too basic
Come on. Way overrated.
This is the dumbest thing ever
Thank you🙏 Waiting in line for three hour for overpriced sure isn’t the best idea55
❤❤
Thank you🙏
