จุดเริ่มต้น
Where it comes from
Thai Jasmine is family-run. The people who own it are the people cooking, in one kitchen on 2000 West in Syracuse.
The idea was simple, and it hasn't changed: cook the food we'd cook at home, don't cut corners on the paste or the broth, and charge a price a family can afford on a weeknight.
The name comes from the jasmine flower — มะลิ, mali — the one Thai children give their mothers on Mother's Day. It felt like the right thing to put on the door.

ที่เราทำ
What we cook, and how
แกง
Curries, slow
Red, green, yellow, massaman, panang. Coconut milk and paste go in the pot early and stay there — that's where the depth comes from. Nothing is finished in a hurry.
ก๋วยเตี๋ยว
Broths, all day
Noodle soup is breakfast food in Thailand, so we treat it seriously. Clear pork broth, rice noodles, bean sprouts, cilantro, and fried garlic spooned over at the last second.
ผัด
Wok, fast
Pad thai, pad see ew, kha pow with the fried egg on top. Thirty seconds of real heat and it's on the plate. This is the food we'd eat standing up at a market stall.
ครอบครัวเรา
Who's back there
It is the same small crew most nights — the people at the wok this week are the people at the wok next week.
If you come often enough, they'll remember what you order. If you're new, ask — they'd rather talk you into the right dish than sell you the wrong one.
If it doesn't taste like something someone's grandmother would make, it doesn't leave the kitchen.

ถ้าคุณโตมากับอาหารไทย
If you grew up with this food
Ask for it the way you like it. Extra chili, no sugar, more lime, plain rice soup when you're not feeling well. We'd rather cook it right for you than cook it the way it's written on the menu.
ถ้านี่เป็นครั้งแรก
If it's your first time
Start with yellow curry or pad see ew — gentle, and a good picture of what we do. Say how much heat you want and we'll take you at your word. Thai iced tea fixes almost anything.
