Michelin-starred street food vendor known for crab omelets
"Yes, you’ll definitely have to wait for the crab omelet from Raan Jay Fai—we did for over three hours. But how often do you get to win the crab lottery in the form of a crustacean-loaded omelette cooked by an 81-year-old street food legend? The answer is only here. The omelet, and every other dish with crab, like one with celery leaves and chilies, are wholeheartedly worth the wait. Get there as early as you can (they open at 9am), put your name down on the list, and be ready for your number to be called. If you need to kill some time, walk to the nearby Wat Saket Ratchawora Mahawihan Buddhist temple, and then head back for the best crab you’ll have in your life. video credit: Carlo Mantuano video credit: Carlo Mantuano video credit: Carlo Mantuano Pause Unmute" - Carlo Mantuano
"A street food restaurant in Bangkok, led by the iconic Chef Supinya 'Jay Fai' Junsuta, known for its One MICHELIN Star status." - admin
"A one-star nod by the Michelin organization has made this once relatively quiet shophouse restaurant into one of the most famous eateries in Bangkok. It’s all about decadence here, with the seafood-packed stir-fries; immense, crab-stuffed omelets; and rich soups still prepared by owner Supinya Junsuta (nicknamed Jay Fai). These days, a visit requires waiting hours. Come as early as 10 a.m. to cut down on time spent glaring angrily at diners lingering over their meals." - Chawadee Nualkhair
"A beloved Bangkok street-stall operation that received a Michelin star — a rare recognition for casual street food — but whose proprietor reported that the attention disrupted her business so much she considered returning the accolade." - Ryan Sutton
"Jay Fai is Bangkok’s most famous shophouse where you can order the crab omelette and stir-fried noodles with seafood and gravy." - Craig Sauers
