JP Thai Kitchen

This is one of the best Thai restaurants in Sacramento. It’s a small family run place that is hidden and unassuming. ALL OF THEIR FOOD IS GOOD! The go-to orders for us are the curries and different noodle dishes. Always tasty. Highly recommend.

I have driven past this nondescript location numerous times. I finally stopped in and realize now that I have missing out on a great Thai place! As they say, you shouldnt judge a book by its cover, you shouldnt judge JP Thai Kitchen by its exterior. Inside is nicely decorated. Tables and the space are clean. The person taking orders and serving food was nice and professional. And the food was very delicious. For my first visit I went with the papaya salad and yellow curry with chicken. Both were seasoned very well. The salad hit the sweet, sour, and salty notes. The curry was rich and flavorful with lots of chicken, potatoes and carrots to make it a filling dish. While tasty, I did not find any of the food too spicey. If I was to criticize, it would be that people who expect Thai food to be very hot might be left wanting for more heat. Fortunately they can provide an assortment of chilli flakes and hot sauces to adjust as you like.

Fantastic Gluten Free chicken fried rice!! The heat level is perfect at 2 and then the added bonus of being able to up your heat at the table with the selection of Thai chilies and sauces is amazing!!!

I got the drunken noodles with tofu for lunch today, and it was fantastic! Flavorful, and generous portions of everything. Walking in to the beautiful side to pick it up was quick and the service friendly. The price is just right. I'll absolutely go back!

JP Thai Kitchen is a hidden gem on Freeport Blvd in Sacramento. The food is delicious with an excellent service. The dining room is a little dated but comfortable. I have the Roasted Duck Curry and Spicy Fish (I want it mild). I also ordered brown rice for the curry. All the dishes are delicious. However, I hope the Roasted Duck Curry is a little more creamy. It is more like a curry soup; even the curry tastes very well.

I could barely enjoy the ingredients because the whole plate was covered with overly strong sauce. Some bites were suddenly salty or acidic and too overwhelming for the taste making it an unbalanced dish for me. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you enjoy excessive seasoning or Pad Thai on the heavily sweet side.

The food is always delicious and the owners/staff are so friendly. I'm not an adventurous eater, but along with my family, we have tried several dishes, and all were great. Lots of vegetarian dishes. Most people order to go and there are usually not many people eating there. The parking lot is shared with another business during the day and can get full, but evenings are not a problem.

The Thai food here was soooo good! All the food had a very comfortable amount of heat without being overpowering! We got the red curry, fires rice, spicy fish, and pad Thai, and i couldn't stop eating it was so good. I think my only complaint is that the spicy fish didn't have much fish for $16. It was maybe like 2 pieces of fish per person. Also they do not provide any complimentary rice with any dishes, even the curry, and that's an extra $1.50 per bowl, which I didn't like. The service was good though and they were always coming up to us refilling our water and asking if we were doing well.

Basil fried rice and drunken noodle are my favorite dishes. Their curry is a little bit lighter than other Thai places but its still pretty good. They also have items that aren't common at thai restaurants such a sweet and sour dish. I ordered it thinking it would be battered and deep fried chicken stir fried with vegetables pineapple and a sweet and sour sauce. It was not. Still pretty tasty. Seating area is very nice and clean. Very nice staff and fast service.

Food is delicious. Service is good. Loved the PraRam peanut sauce Trying their drunken noodles

JP Thai is my go to Thai place because of their authentic Thai flavors and that they're close to home. We're always greeted by a friendly smile each time we're there and the service is great. We're checked in during and after our meal. The food dishes are packed with that sweet and savory flavors and so good, no matter what you order. But during lunch time my go to are: phad Thai and the phad kee mao. Something about the wide noodles, I just can't get enough of. The portions are perfect or I sometimes take it to go. You'll have to stop by and check it out for yourself.

Friendly service. Excellent fresh spring rolls with avocado instead of shrimp or tofu. It's a little dark and dated inside and attached to a car repair shop. But I thought it holds its own with other well-rated Thai restaurants in Sacramento.

Came here for dinner with little brother . This place has plenty of parking , inside the restaurant is a bit dim and dark. We order the golden bag, chicken green avacado curry and seafood combo Thai basil with fried eggs. The staff here is friendly and quick with our drinks . Appetizer came out quick and hot. The golden bag was nothing special , you definitely have to put the dipping sauce , it brings out the flavor . chicken green avacado curry was interesting and taste like a surprise playground in your mouth , but not in good way. My favorite was the seafood combo Thai basil with fried eggs. This one was the most savory , the fish was delicious and there was Only 2 prawns and 2 mussel . I wished it had more mussels. . I took the rest of my leftover vegetables and cook salmon and place it on top of the veggies. It was much better The service was excellent

Came here for dinner on friday around 6-6:30. It was pretty empty but some other parties came and they had a gooood amount of to go orders. I got the beef rad na. All the food came out in like 10-15 minutes. Overall most of the food was pretty good. I think the proportion for mine was pretty good, maybe because of the gravy tho? The drunken noodles looked pretty small compared to other dishes and was pretty oily. I also tried the prawn silver noodles, came with 5 big shrimps and was pretty good. We also got the mango sticky rice. It was reallll small or smaller than i expected lol but pretty good. Condense milk was diff? More watery or liquidy than normal condensed milk i think but still good. Overall pretty good, pricing not too bad and service is good, they r very friendly and nice.

We had a big family dinner here and the service was great! Everyone seemed to enjoy their dishes and we were all able to sit together. It was pretty empty but worked to our advantage to be able to hear each other. The restaurant was also very clean.

Decent food, huge portions. I ordered: Tofu Pad Thai with Level 1 spice: It didn't have that tangy sauciness and bouncy noodles I'm looking for in a Pad Thai, but it was still a good dish nonetheless. The spice was not noticeable; if you're looking for a hint of spice, I'd choose Level 2. Golden Prawns: Tasty morsels of shrimp and a crispy exterior. Can't see how you could go wrong with these. Red Curry with Level 3 spice: Spice definitely shone in this one but it wasn't overwhelming. Curry was a good flavor but chicken was a bit dry.

Food was very meh. I honestly don't understand the great reviews. We ordered drunken noodle and eggplant stir fry, curry noodle and angel wings to share. Wings were cold inside, everything was such a disappointment.

After trying out some Vietnamese food here, we were hesitant about trying Thai food. Thank goodness we did. We ordered the green curry, crab fried rice and the lemongrass chicken. This had to be one of the best tasting lemongrass chickens I've had. Green curry and the crab fried rice was solid also. Definitely one to stop by if we are doing a road trip and stopping by the area again.

This restaurant is connected to an auto body shop so if you don't look carefully, you might not even realize it's a restaurant. The food was really good, though. I wish I lived closer so I can come back to try other items. My husband and I ordered the laos style papaya salad, duck curry, pad thai, and calamari. The papaya salad was one of the best I've had. I asked for mild spicy and I did not taste the spice at all, so either they did not put any peppers in it or their peppers aren't spicy. The duck curry was alright. I thought it could use a little more coconut for that creamy coconut curry taste. The pad thai was also one of the best I've had. It was flavorful and tasted just right. We enjoyed the calamari as well. They were crispy and easy to chew. In terms of price, the food is pricey considering their portions are not a lot, but the food quality makes up for it. It's expensive everywhere anyway, so I don't mind. It's a good size restaurant and was pretty empty when we went. It's nice and quiet in there. They probably mostly get takeout orders. Service was fine. The waitress will come if you wave at her. We had planned on going to Siam instead but it was closed today so I'm glad we came here instead.

We ordered take out and tried JP Thai Kitchen for the first time. Order: pad thai, green and avocado curry with chicken, and beef eggplant. They recommended the green and avocado curry, but my family thought the eggplant dish was actually the best of the 3 we ordered. Not to say the curry wasn't good. Just the eggplant was better.

I've visited JP Thai twice now and have really enjoyed it. I came first with a friend and then returned with my husband for lunch. Both times we were greeted so warmly. My favorite items are definitely the basil Thai fried rice and the drunken noodles - the "wok hay" (taste of the wok / aromatic stir fry flavor) is soo good and is the main reason I want to keep coming back. The red curry and Thai iced teas were also good but not standouts compared to the other items. The restaurant interior is nicely decorated with some videos of Thai food playing on the TV. The service is wonderful and both times I visited, there were a few other tables occupied with a steady stream of takeout orders being picked up. I plan to visit many more times in the near future!

We have been eating here since they opened and the food is consistently great. I'm a big fan of their specialties. The smoked eggplant and spicy fish and whole fish either steamed or fried are wonderful. The service is always prompt even when they're busy, although we always order out so I can't speak to their table service. Definitely recommended!

They charge you extra for rice. Honestly it's an insult and rip off. It might be acceptable if their entrée prices were lower or reasonable but they are higher then other Thai restaurants who give you complimentary rice with your dish. For this reason of extra for rice I will no longer eat here.

My client took me to lunch here today. I got the Thai Eggplant with tofu. It was delicious! Our server was really nice. The level of spice was perfect for me. The decor is aged and a little kitschy, but my client told me it used to be a pizza place - that explains some of the light fixtures! It's a solid 4-stars for sure currently. I'm going to take my husband back and try a couple more dishes to see if they warrant 5!

I had the sweet and sour chicken, and while it wasn't what I'm used to, the flavor pleasantly surprised me. However, the chicken itself could've been better and there wasn't enough of it. We also had the drunken noodles and this dish was much more enjoyable. Friendly staff, which made the experience nicer!

The angel wings were stuffed wit more meat than other restaurants n delicious. The roast duck larb n the thai boat noodle were good as well. The pad thai was ok, my wife liked it but I thought it was mid. Def will come back! The food was very good n good service.

Hidden gem for sure! My favorite Thai spot! I have not found another thai spot that beats their pad thai! I usually get their Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and their Basil fried rice. I love it! They are always extremely nice at the register!

I love Thai food. But for some reason, JP Thai Kitchen is always skipped when thinking about where to have lunch or dinner in the area. I think it may be because I am very familiar with the area. I just discovered I skipped an excellent Thai food in the neighborhood, which I think I know all about. Lol! JP Thai Kitchen is at a section of Freeport Blvd, a little off from all the businesses. I think this is one of the reasons I have overlooked them for a long time. But I finally found them. I have my dinner there. Oh! Wow! They're excellent! Both food and service. I ordered the Roast Duck Curry and a Brown Rice. The curry is perfect. All the ingredients and, of course, the duck are delicious. The brown rice is cooked perfectly too. Not too soft or too hard. I enjoyed the Roast Duck Curry. They didn't ask me for the spicy levels. But it is perfect for me. The dining room is big and classical-looking. It is comfortable and clean. The lady who served the dining room (I think she is the owner) goes above and beyond to ensure all her customers are taken good care of. I know they're there now! I like Thai food. They have good Thai food. I'll be there again.

We had lunch here yesterday and enjoyed a wonderful meal. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived. My wife had pad thai and I had drunken noodles. We both had Thai ice tea. Both our noodle dishes were excellent. When our food arrived I thanked our server in Thai. Her beautiful face broke out in an even bigger smile and we talked about Thailand. In some Thai restaurants the servers don't speak any Thai. The love for Thailand and its wonderful cuisine really shows here. Our server asked if we wanted spicy sauces and brought a container with 6 different chili sauces just like in many restaurants in Thailand. I would have included photos, but the food was too good. Thank you JP Thai Kitchen. We will see you soon. Don't speed by too fast along Freeport or you might miss this treasure. Watch for the small green sign.

Hmm seems like a go-to Thai food spot for people living in the same neighborhood but I thought the food was okay to put it very nicely. Chicken satay was decently tender, but it was unappetizing to see a pool of oil sitting on the surface of the peanut sauce. Liked the chunky pineapple pieces in the pineapple fried rice, but the rice itself was very bland and soggy. I can see why people enjoy the pad thai here because the noodles aren't overly drenched in sauce like at other Thai places. Pretty tasty too. Didn't appreciate that it was served with a really bruised and discolored lemon wedge though (questionable that a specific area of the skin was cut off). Ehhh I dunno. I did a takeout order and I felt that I was given some old food inventory so staff can easily get rid of it especially when it comes to the condiments. Perhaps dining in is much better in terms of food freshness.

Solid Thai food for the area. This is a great place if you don't have dinner planned and wanted something with great flavor.

Love their eggplant curry. I have never had better. I have tried to replicate their brown rice; it can't be done.

This is a decent Thai restaurant in Sacramento. While it's not the best, it's certainly not the worst. The dishes are okay, but it's odd to charge extra for rice with dishes that usually come with rice. The staff is friendly.

My family and I frequent this place when we're craving good Thai food. It's close by and has a big parking lot. Most times we've gone it's relatively empty inside but despite that, their food is great! We always order the pad Thai and pad see ew as those are our favorite dishes. We like the eggplant basil for a veggie dish. Customer service is great here and the lady behind the cash register is always so sweet.

The place is located near or connected to a mechanic shop so beware of that if you're unsure where the entrance is! The place is usually clean whenever I come in to get my online order. The dining area is quite big from first glance. The food is good for the price. Service is that of any restaurant, so I'd say it's a good spot. They do tend to mess up my order though maybe once or twice, not a big enough deal to cause a problem with me. They maybe might have gotten the spice level wrong but I don't really mind if it was more spicier or not (I do love me some semi-spicy food). It's a good spot for when I just want something to get real quickly!

Quiet, hole-in-the-wall gem on Freeport that you might just miss. Beautiful interior, fast service, and great food! Lunch portions are decent and have great prices.

Best Thai in Sac. Always good. Try the smoked eggplant special or their cashew nut dish.

Food 10/10 service 10/10 good find. Green curry was phenomenal would recommend to anyone. Wife was hangry when we arrived. She's leaving happy for now.

I've been to Thai restaurants. Throughout California with my travels for work and this is by far my favorite. I've never gotten a dish I didn't love! Highly recommend the Chicken pad Thai with extra peanuts!

Got JP for lunch and was not disappointed. The food is always served hot, it tastes amazing, and the staff is very kind. They have catered for our workplace and always deliver with the best FOOD! The restaurant is also cute, clean, and they are very accommodating. The portions are very large and I never finish all of my food. JP is a must and I highly recommend.

My favourite Thai place ever. The food and service are the best I swear to God the lady remembers me and my order everythime

Excellent Green Curry! I tried the green curry at a spice level 3, with pork and added eggplant... it was so delicious! A thinner curry than some others I've had but excellent flavor. My partner had the Thai Basil Chicken dish, also at a 3 and loved it. We got take away, and it took a bit, but that was because the place was packed! Clearly I didn't know the gem I lived next to. Nice inside for sure.

12/23. Nine of our line dance group went to JP Thai for lunch after class. We were very pleased with the food and service. The atmosphere was very friendly and we could talk to our hearts content. The server had a lot of business acumen and before the restaurant was busy, took food orders from whoever was ready to order. Since I wasn't ready, when the food was served I had to wait. Waiting a little bit was ok, because I had a difficult time trying to choose the dish I wanted and there was no reason for others in our group to wait. I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken. Very good and oodles of food. I took about 2/3 of it home for leftovers dining at home. A friend ordered the Pad See Ew which has the wide "fun" type of noodle. It also looked delicious and I will try it the next time. Another person ordered the avocado curry - lots of avocado. Yummy.

A new favorite! I know it's basic but I always get the Pad Thai when we go to new Thai restaurants as a comparison and this one did not disappoint! Less sweet than others in town which was a positive for me. They also packed a ton in the container so I was able to have it for lunch the next day as well. Husband got the boat noodles with beef. The broth was super flavorful and came with a selection of toppings and hot spices/sauces for you to adjust the heat. I think the only negative I have was the sticky rice with mango. Not bad by any means but it was on the mushy/watery side and definitely did not compare to the quality of others in town. Overall we'd definitely come back! Service was fast and friendly, plus large portion sizes.

Food was excellent! First time trying JP Thai Kitchen. I ordered the yellow curry with veggies and tofu and it was delicious.

Inside is clean. Service was great. The food wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I had ordered a thaiboat. The noodle appeared to be glass noodles unlike the traditional pho noodles. It was a weird texture in combo with the broth of boat noodles. I'd come back to try another food. I'm sure other food on the menu would not disappoint unlike the thaiboat noodle.

I usually order their food to-go and love the convenience of calling ahead and grabbing it on my way home to my family - it's always piping hot and served with a smile. My friends and I have met for lunch here and it's very busy with lots of families and other groups at nearly every table. The booths are comfortable and I like watching the shows they have on the television while eating there, or just waiting for my food. It's a cute little spot.

Love their pineapple fried rice! So close and convenient, across from the little airport.

Everything we ate was delicious. And we ate a LOT. Lol The ladies working there were so nice and super attentive. Also, the inside is pretty cute. Very clean. Lots of open space too so you don't feel crowded.

Our senior exercise group enjoyed another delicious lunch at JP Thai today! Our large group consisted of 31 people and we were all given separate checks. By working in advance and pre-ordering with Premika, we enjoyed such a delicious lunch with a very fast and smooth distribution/serving of our dishes with no problems, thanks to the fast-moving and friendly waitress. Premika and Jai went above and beyond to ensure that we could all easily get to their restaurant, despite their small parking lot. They borrowed parking spots from a nearby business and they also provided shuttle service to/from their restaurant and a nearby designated area we set up for cars to park. That was such a blessing! Thank you to Premika and Jai and everyone else at JP Thai for making our lunch so enjoyable! Your customer service is excellent and all your food is so delicious. And your restaurant is so clean and beautiful. See you next time!

me and my friend came here to stalk our friend on a date, and the food was amazing. the portions were actually a lil bigger than I expected which was good because we got to take home what we had left. it was still amazing overall. The service was amazing our waitress was super nice

This is my favorite place to get Thai in Sacramento. Worth the drive from Elk Grove. The green curry is my favorite and I love spicy so I get it Thai Hot. Pad Thai is delicious and that roti for dessert, just get it. The service is always top notch and everyone working there is super friendly. The restaurant is always clean and warm welcoming.

I order food here for the very first time and through door dash for group order (treating everyone for lunch) . The food was packed with flavor. Their pad Thai is very delicious. Have salty and a tad sweet to the noodles which I like but still pack with flavor. I have to say this is the best pad Thai noodles I have in Sacramento. Compare to some places, pad Thai are usually more on a sweeter side. Another order we had was crab fried rice. Ohhh, they use real crab meat and not those imitation crabs. I can understand why is a lil pricey but the portion is really good for the price. Yellow curry with a mild kick. I love spicy food and this is actually my first time having it with spice. Normally, I see a lot of place have yellow curry of a more sweet/salty taste. The curry they have is very good. The potatoes are perfectly cooked. Not undercooked or over cooked. Service I would say 10/10. We had a few who are picky. One didn't like tomatoes and the other didn't like peanuts. Each box was labeled with our name and description. Staff member are very attentive. I would recommend if anyone who like their food packed with flavor and attentive staff. I would def return again.

Good variety of entrees. My favorite is angel wings and chicken with green curry. Service is prompt and friendly staff . Nice decor of Thailand .

The food was great! We had yellow curry, pad Thai, and mango sticky rice. Good potions for the price and the food tasted fresh. The restaurant was clean with nice decor. The only criticism we had was the service was lacking. It was nearly empty when we arrived and it took awhile to be acknowledged and there was another long wait to begin ordering. They do not take debit cards - only cash, Zelle, or Venmo. The bill has a QR code for Zelle only.

I been doing my part at supporting local any chance that I can and today I was craving Thai I had the eggplant with chicken and it comes with rice : 5/5 the aroma , the onion ,chili,bell pepper ,basil all worked very well together with the right amount of red curry paste I ate everything on my plate and the Thai iced coffee is a must great coffee quality taste and not to sweet ! ,the server was very friendly and attentive & my food was fresh and delicious, a big enough portion to keep your tummy full & return back to work . I will be back so glad I found this place all for $16.20 with tax
