Jiu Thai Asian Cafe

The 18 Best Restaurants In Columbus, Ohio 2024

"There’s simply too much good food on Bethel Road, whether you’re searching for Korean barbecue, al pastor tacos, falafel, or a memorable bowl of Chinese noodles. One of our favorite spots in the area is the family-run Jiu Thai, a Shaanxi-focused spot in a strip mall (the “Thai” in the name refers to a sacred Chinese mountain range), where the move is to order bowls of delicious hand-pulled biang biang noodles tossed with cilantro, chili oil, and vinegar. Other highlights include the Xi’an-style cold noodles, pork-and-cabbage steamed dumplings, and the rou jia mo, an excellent $5 Shaanxi-style pork sandwich. There are just a handful of tables, but it’s one of the area’s best spots for a casual meal." - erin edwards, kindra peach
