    The food was unbelievable as always. If there was another bartender on, I think we would’ve got our drinks as quickly as I like. A nice touch that the owner came around and asked all of the diners if they were having a good experience. I would eat here every night if the bone marrow was put back on the menu

    Delicious food. The serving sizes were very small for the price. But I'd definitely recommend Jumbo Thai to others. Just order more than you think you'll eat! We were a table of 3 females and 1 male and we ordered 4 mains - 2 curries, pad thai and the beef salad and we could definitely have eaten more.
