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 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. 😂

@Monkey_Oliver_812 5 месяцев назад

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.

Don't have to be polite. Just say it. It's a TOURIST TRAP!

@Monkey_Oliver_812 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the comment. You are right.

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 🤦🏼‍♂️

@Monkey_Oliver_812 6 месяцев назад

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.

@CoolGuySayingCoolThings 5 месяцев назад

Spending 5 hours for anything is never worth it

@Monkey_Oliver_812 5 месяцев назад

How about spending 5 hours on self-education? That seems worth it 😎

@CoolGuySayingCoolThings 5 месяцев назад

@@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

@Monkey_Oliver_812 5 месяцев назад

Hah. That seems more realistic XD

@AlfredHimmelweiss 4 месяца назад

Great example of waiting list marketing. Respect that you have made it. I would have been going home.

@Monkey_Oliver_812 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the comment. Hah I waited all that time so other people don’t have to😂

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 !!

@Monkey_Oliver_812 5 месяцев назад

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:)

@malkov0001 15 дней назад

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.

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...😂😂😂

@Monkey_Oliver_812 6 месяцев назад

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)

@user-xw6eq1bh3q 6 месяцев назад

Why is it such a long queue? Have I missed something on Netflix?

@Monkey_Oliver_812 6 месяцев назад

Watch Netflix series ‘Street food Asia’ episode 1:) And thank you for the comment🙏

@kmfa3842 5 месяцев назад

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. 😊

@Monkey_Oliver_812 5 месяцев назад

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

@prawinrueacharuen7089 6 месяцев назад

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 ^^

@Monkey_Oliver_812 6 месяцев назад

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!

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.

@Monkey_Oliver_812 3 месяца назад

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.

@raygundesigns 4 месяца назад

Her hustle is strong. No way any omelette is worth 1400 THB.

@jjw-hv4zz 3 месяца назад

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...

@CoolGuySayingCoolThings 5 месяцев назад

Just like most places that become popular from tv shows or celebrity eaters, they are almost always overrated.

@Monkey_Oliver_812 5 месяцев назад

Probably Netflix makes anything it touches worse. Or just sets our expectations too high.
