Congratulations to Jay Fai (ร้านเจ๊ไฝ) who recently was awarded a Michelin Star!
Jay Fai (ร้านเจ๊ไฝ) is no doubt one of the most legendary Thai street food restaurants in Bangkok - some people are loyal fans, others say that it’s overpriced. It’s a Thai restaurants in Bangkok that I had been wanting to eat at for a long time, but never got around to it - partly because it is so expensive. So finally one day for lunch, Ying and I drove over to central Bangkok to try Jay Fai (ร้านเจ๊ไฝ) for the first time.
But really quickly, about the name....
In Thai, Jay (เจ๊) means a Chinese Aunty and Fai (ไฝ) means a mole, yes a mole. What I can tell you first about the restaurant is that the owner is absolutely awesome. She wears ski goggles and a snow cap while she’s cooking, and she cooks over huge fire charcoal, fanning the flame as she expertly cooks. She’s also quite a character, and she loves to chat - so while I was filming she shared all about herself, and how her method of cooking her legendary Thai crab omelet ensures that it doesn’t soak up very much oil. It’s indeed the most amazing omelet you might ever see in your life.
Crab omelet (ไข่เจียวปู) - You can either order the 800 THB or the 1000 THB crab omelet, I went with the 1000 THB. It’s huge, but only uses 2 eggs, but it’s packed with shell less crab nuggets. The omelet is cooked burrito style, and it’s massive. It’s a must order when you eat at Jay Fai (ร้านเจ๊ไฝ).
Drunken noodles (เส้นใหญ่ผัดขี้เมาทะเล) - Her version of Thai drunken noodles (pad kee mao sen ya) is the dish I would come back for over and over again. Again, it’s not cheap, but the quality of seafood and the seasoning that she uses is superb. The balance of flavor will blow your mind - it’s really the best plate of Thai drunken noodles I’ve had in Bangkok.
Tom yum goong (ต้มยำกุ้ง) - For our final dish we tried Jay Fai (ร้านเจ๊ไฝ) tom yum goong. Again, massive prawns and seafood were used, and she cooked it over charcoal. It was awesomely delicious, sour, and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Eating at Thai street food restaurants like this can be all about expectations. You have to go in knowing the prices are very high and you’re going to spend way more money than going to any other corner Thai street food restaurant. That being said, it’s a one-of-a-kind historical culinary legend of a restaurant in Bangkok. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience eat at Jay Fai (ร้านเจ๊ไฝ), and it was an honor to stand there and talk with Jay Fai (ร้านเจ๊ไฝ), and then eat her cooking.
Total price - 2,370 THB ($72.32)

Shout out to Ying. Her talented photography and good nature may be in the background but are ever present. Her speaking with Jay Fai was an example of why she and Mark are so well thought of around the world. And although she didn't have Micah with her today, you can see how much of a devoted and kind mother she is to him. It can't be easy taking a baby/toddler around the world. Carrying him through streets and alleyways. Most women would never think of doing anything like that. She is a huge part of the success of these TH-cam channels.
wpl well said
Yup! And this little man has traveled more than most adults! Lol for a moment I thought she may be carrying again! They are an awesome family!
I agree!
Yes! Well put!
I hope Ying learns English soon so she can interact with Mark's videos.
You know cooking is serious when auntie looks like she’s about to go snowboarding.
yeah, every time he almost fall off the chair, you know he enjoys the food.
LMAO
The Bell Tree 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Bell Tree That wasn’t very respectful.
The Bell Tree made my day 😂😂😂😂😂
And my wife laughs at me when I wear my dive mask to cut onions, I gotta show her this vid😆
You are Master Chef haha
I do too when making French onion soup.
🤣🤣🤣✌
This auntie can justify her mask-wearing with a Michelin star tho 😆😆😆
She operated her eyes, She must protect her eyes from high temperature. and this mask became her signature. So cute! 🥰
Your 15 minute video was about 1500% more informative than the entire Netflix episode. Thank you.
What no it wasn't, this comment was garbage
Over rated and expensive.
Congratulations to Jay Fai (ร้านเจ๊ไฝ) who was recently awarded a Michelin Star! Thank you very much for watching, and be sure to follow my Instagram for more food updates: instagram.com/migrationology/
Mark Wiens hello mark lots of love from bangladesh, chittagong hill tracts. I allways wait for your new vedios. Love to see each of them again and again. .
please visit Bangladesh Mark😃
Idk, why she not open restaurant, because if the food is good and expensive why she use street food stall? It's not make sense for me.
But great video Mark! I knew you and Ying loves the food! 😁
Mark Wiens🙎 so good
She is blatant liar. Those ingredient doesn't worth for 1000 THB dish.
Ate there 2 days ago.Had to wait 2 hours to be seated and another 1 hour until our food arrived.Well worth it.That crab omelette was out of this world.And the drunken noodles totally rocked.Mark you were correct to point out how big those shrimp are,they were mind-blowingly big and delicious.Jay fai was very kind and the staff was great.I see why they were awarded a michelin star.
1000 baht for the omelette.The price goes up and down according to the price of crab meat that day.Drunken noodles/pad kee mao seen yai was 400 baht.
Scott Brasuell Does she pretty much have a rich foreign clientele she dupes cause locals can't afford that
Why wait so long, was there a huge q?
Daniel Sullivan she's not duping anyone. If foreigners want to pay that money then that's on them. She's not holding a gun to their heads you know. Be reasonable. If you're u think it's too pricey then don't get it. Simple. And I think it's too expensive.
Could I have the address, please?
We were there the 24/02/23. To eat at 12.30 you have to queue at 7:30. You order outside while standing some minutes before they let you enter inside. If you take big bottle of water they don't bring you glasses but just a straw( we were 2 people). If you want glasses you have to pay for glasses with ice (no top service if you consider that you pay one omelette almost 30$). The staff is not really nice and friendly. Most of the things are similar to other street food-restaurant in Bangkok and Thailand. For what concerns the food the omelette was good( 7/10 I would take it again for max 15$), the dry Tom-yum was nothing special (6/10, I wouldn't take it again), the sefood Padthai was inadequate (5/10) there are places in Bangkok where they do it much much better for much much less in terms of prices.
To conclude, if you were my friend I will suggest you to save your money for other unforgettable experiences:)
If you ask for a glass to drink your water ... on 09.03.2024 they dont even understand it no more... the service is horrible... you have to show a glass on another table... but the prices are x 10 ...
Jay Vai is well worth the price. When someone puts all their heart, soul n love into their cooking then there is no price too pricey!! Especially when she takes the time to converse and laugh with her customers....NOW THAT'S PRICELESS!! Boy the amount of sea food she puts in her dishes and the price of seafood...no one should be complaining!!! Thank you Mark n Ying for the food vids you make. I'm a new sub n I'm Native American...Im also a foodie. Seafood is something I'm still trying to get more into because we weren't brought up on it. I'm from the Hopi Tribe in Northern AZ and boy when you savor these dishes it makes my mouth water!! 😊😉👌👍❤
"Mark Wiens".... "Street food".... "Michelin star".
Thats the moment when you know you're going to have a great video. 👍👍👍

Hey did you hear yesterday the youtuber angry grandpa passed away due to cancer and pneumonia! Don't forget to pay tribute to Charles Jr green AKA Angry Grandpa! At this time pickleboy AKA kidbehindacamera is very depressed as well because the Lost of his dad
Dined there in February , the long wait was so worth it . The crab meat omelette was amazing , so much crab of the highest quality , the best . We would do it again . She was so friendly as well . You rock , Jay Fai .
Dude, there are many food reviewers on TH-cam but I see in your face that you're actually enjoying this food and not overacting your reaction. You're also the most upbeat dude, its great to watch!
Some experts describe Thai food as a "symphony of taste in your mouth"
That's completely true!
You can describe any food like that since taste is subjective. Heck you could use the most flowery language for the crappiest food and idiots would still be impressed by it.
*When he closes his eyes and falls to his side you really know the food is AWESOME !!*
Mouthwatering at 5:26 YUMMY !
He did with every food that he taste so i'm not quite sure it delicious or not.
Lol... Yes every damn food he does tht, so I wonder if he likes all food as long as he can chew on it !
thecolt hazza I already saw him not tilting in that way. And I know that it's not good.
That's his trademark.
Personally, I just wish he would stop doing that "weird foodgasm reaction". I love his videos, he is a great guy with a great personality, but his tilting head closing eyes thing just annoys the crap out of me LOL...I wish he does it in a normal way.. sorry it's just my opinion. 😄😄
A Japanese friend of mine who lives in Bangkok took me here for dinner when I was on holiday earlier this year. I totally agree with you. BEST CRAB OMELETTE - in the world!! Maybe the best omelette in the world. All the food was just spectacular.
Hi Yohann! May i have the address of this shop?
337-261 Maha Chai Rd, Khwaeng Samran Rat, Khet Phra Nakhon, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10200, Thailand
You can find it on Google Maps. Just search for Jay Fai, Bangkok.
Thank you very much, Yohann!
This Jay will beat Gordon Ramsay
Had the enormous pleasure of eating there in October. Long wait but thoroughly worth it. I had the Tom Yum and the Crab Omlette. The flavour in the soup was fabulous and the prawns perfectly cooked. It's almost impossible to describe how good the omlette is. Full of succlent crab and not at all oily. Jay Fai herself never stopped cooking from the moment I arrived until I left. I've no idea where she gets the stamina from.
As a Thai, yes it's expensive but Thai food lovers eat at Jay Fai at this price for decades before you western guys know her from Michelin Star. If you are a food lover you must try it but if not then go get cheap food and not to blame her for the price.
What i like about Mark's food blogs is, he literally show the real meaning of "street foods" it doesn't matter if it not looks fancy or "instagrammable" but the most important thing is he wants to present what food really looks like and how good it is. 👍
what you said is 100 percent, Jay is a legend, first went there in 1986, prices have gone up sure, she was even wilder when she was young, great party lady.My wife has know her since she was a kid. Real Thai
We went many times last year and Jay Fai completely worths the price! That is the best food I had in Bangkok. (By the way, the price of any dishes without seafood becomes normal and still incredibly tasty because of the way she cooks above charcoal. ) She is a absolutely great chef.
Jay Fai is truly an Inspiration. She is a strong woman who had been through a lot, and still believed in herself. A marvelous chef who still cooks at the age of 73. I just simply can't put it into words, how much I respect this lady. I really want to visit Bangkok someday and try Jay Fai's cooking.
Jay Fai is smart, import expensive high quality sauces and combined with local high quality fresh sea food + a lot of cooking skills = win.
agree
Mark's expression after he puts a spoonful of gargantuan crab omelette into his mouth (in slow motion)...Priceless!!!
Mary Leialoha he literally reacts to every piece of food he eats in every episode the same exact way
Keegan Zarbockk, yes he does, however there are tiny differences in each expression that I can see. This one in slow motion made me laugh with joy.
Lol yeah that Mark Weins lean makes me laugh every time.
He hasn't made this expression for a long time. Maybe he did, but this was definitely the longest in a long time
Rui Ti Ong no, every bite, every episode, every dish. Y'all are just biased.
Never seen someone so excited and appreciative of foreign cuisine, keep it up mate.
It’s sad when an Asian person knows their worth it’s seen as overpriced...we eat expensive foods like Italian, fine dining all the time but never question the worth...
Niko Stevens crab is good but vegetable no taste
I think it's because, she positioning her restaurant seems like street food restaurant therefore many people thought the food is like street food quality
In the west we dont question thing like Japanese sushi/wagyu beef or korean bbq/ hanwoo beef for a reason. Their currency is near equal value to ours in the sense that the average meal would cost 10,000 yen/won which is about $10. In countries like thailand or the philippines, you can get good food the price of $1 american. Foreigners and even locals get used to paying little for good food so when a restaurant bumps its price it's hated on. I cant really convey what im trying to say very well but i think you get the point.
@@nikosfilipino 10000 yen is 100$
@@nikosfilipino Bigger portions, imported sauces and unique craft, thats whats she's selling. Just because she's in a street stall doesn't make her food any less of value. The only problem people have with her price is coming from a comparative point of view with other street food prices.
those who say he overreacted never try Jay Fai crab. I ate there when I went to Thailand and it was insanely delicious
Dhia Noval that omelette doesn't look very good... Looks rather dry.
@@noturavgdude8262 flavor. It was perfect, the wok hei provides that smoky fire taste
Ice Princess I’m sure it was delicious but every single video he makes he pulls the same faces and goes on so much about the dishes etc. He over exaggerates too much! How much was the omelette by the way?
I’m Thai . In Thailand we eat omelette like this video’s . It is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
Kiefer Humph over exaggerating when you eat in thailand is like slurping your noodles in japan it’s a way of showing that the food is very delicious and it’s very common in thailand to make noises and faces which he probably picked up in all his years of living in thailand
I'll always take quality over quantity. Food looks wonderful!
Quality conscious foodie... great I would love you too have a look at my new Indian exclusive street food ch. Am sure U wud love the quality vids I shoot :-)
Laura Reynolds then u are a fool
Laura Reynolds But her food IS quantity, what are you talking about?
Cheap meat ? :T
lol. Quality food in Thailand? Apparently you don't know how unhygienic it is there compared to western countries.
She seems like such a sweet and genuine lady. I love how much respect you give to the people and their food. Thank you for the video!
I cannot believe it kreps the shape in the oil. Genius.Mark, thsnks for the beautiful video.
That's the equivalent of about $75 U.S. Not cheap by any means, but reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the ingredients, especially the seafood.
Thanks for taking us on your food trips, Mark. Not just for the food but for the insight and appreciation you give each country's culture and people. I feel like I've traveled all these places because of you! You truly are a citizen of the world.
MuseintheCity very well said :)
Thanks. Mark deserves the compliment and more.
you can go to a seafood buffet for half that cost and eat all the lobster you want, $75 is overpriced
eksine For Thai people most delicious food doesn’t need to belong to 5 stars restaurant with aircon but the street food restaurant that run for 5-10 decades will be the most delicious 😋 🤤 I know Total price is expensive but don’t forget the price is for 2 persons, I don’t think you can finish those dishes alone. Those dishes are actually good for 2-4 persons. Thai people would order those dishes when you hangout with friends or family so you can order many different dishes. For 2 average persons you can order just that 1 dish of crab 🦀 omelette with 2 cups of rice and you will be full enough. Give it a try. (Quality and premium Thai food is always expensive ofc it’s for middle class above) Btw she uses the premium ingredients and seafood. The price is reasonable and you need to book 1-2 days ahead to eat her food in peak time and need to wait for a couple hours for cooking. (In this clip he come early I guess)
@@Bahamut69 I make $100k per year , so no not poor
Mark, always appreciate your boundless positivity. Woke up to a chilly morning over here in the states but this video filled me with warmth and energy. Take care.
Thank you very much Jon!
All 3 dishes looked absolutely scrumptious. The ingredients looked top quality, thus the higher prices. I was just imagining the bursts of flavor. Excellent video.
Your enthusiasm and happiness with the foods and people is the best part- well done 👍
Hey Mark, firstly, absolutely love your videos. I showed this video of Jay Fai to my partner, who by the way was drooling whilst watching lol. So we were heading off to Thailand first week in February with family. My partner asked (well actually, NAGGED) me to get a reservation there. Two weeks before week left Australia I made a reservation. Obviously our family did advise us that by Thai standards this place was pretty pricey. So on our second day in Bangkok we head over to Jay Fai. Luckily I booked 2 weeks ahead. First customers in the door....... OMG, on behalf of my partner and I thanks for putting this video up. This would have to have been the BEST crab omelette ever. We headed off to spend the rest of our time with family in our most favourite place in the world Chiangmai, where we pretty much spent our whole time with our nephew and his wife eating. I would love to show you some photos of sensational places we ate at. Thanks for the great work you do.
Kaylene
Hey. Thanks for sharing your experience. Can you please tell me how you booked 2 weeks in advance? Did you call or send an email? How does it work? Even I wanna eat there. :(
I love how mark became into more openly and not being shy to expressed the feeling of joy in this video. I mean this is what really ppl want to see from food blogger. And not just crapy describes the taste of the food it self. Well done mark .
Mobile Godz vocabulary of the day, Gullible.
Why is so hard for people to appreciate other people hard work and success. This lady deserves all the praise. She started from nothing, lost everything and got back up again. Her food is beautiful, looks delicious and she loves what she does. If you can't appreciate all these them get a life.
Im here because of netflix street food
LOL, me too!
which ep ?

I'm here before it was cool

Yaay back to Thai food...my favourite. Keep going Mark👍👍
Mark thank you for sharing all your wonderful food journeys with us. I really appreciate your vlogs, experiences, descriptions, and willingness to try everything! You should be on TV!
Thank you so much for this video i loved it and your love of food seems so passionate and it really comes across in all the videos i have watched from you.
Such an amazing place, we love the crab omelet and the drunken noodles here. Great video Mark!
My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Jay Fai in April 2018 during our honeymoon. The crab omelette was truly spectacular. The drunken noodles were also top notch. Jay Fai is a talented and incredibly skilled chef and it was an honor to watch her in action. We found everything about her shop house to be charming and we will definitely eat here again on our next trip to Bangkok.
Tiger prawns are one of my favorite things to eat. Those were jumbos for sure. The quality of her ingredients and her cooking skill justify the price.
Janet Seidlitz Foodies are so dumb. They will pay anything for food.
If it is cooked right and tastes good, it is up to them. It's important to make sure fresh water shell fish, especially, is cooked through. Unless your GI doc has a gut bomb that can kill liver fluke. Mark is a mart guy and has lived there for years, he knows what is worth the price.
When mark taste the food..that "ohhh" moment makes me laugh at all 😂😂
Jazmine & Micah Vlog why
At all?
When I visit Thailand, I want to go there! Thank you Mark for such great shows!
That crab omelet looks amazing, going to try.
For $32, you must be out of your mind.
Mike McGlock I would totally pay $32 for the quality and satisfaction of the food. Eating an expensive meal for once in a while won't hurt you ;)
But this is Thailand, most people live on $10 a day.
Anat Lokaew I guess you are rich. $32 for one crab omelette is crazy. Thai people can't afford to eat there and it seems like she jacks up the prices. Street food should never be expensive considering she isn't using anything you couldn't find from other street vendors. Maybe she knows Western foodies are gullible?
I am middle class Thai and 2300 isn't that bad for this quality food .
Oooh boyyyy Mark that burrito crab 🦀... the inside looks fresh no oily at all and the stir fry noodles with shrimp and the soup .... just superb 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Omg, I was just there !!! The 2.5 hours wait was well worth it!!!! Crab omelette and the drunken noodles are the best!!!! Thank you for the recommendations .
You are doing an amazing job Mark... Right now I am watching your food travel in Bangkok and it is creating so many emotions in me... Thai food is awesome, tasty and I love it.. Man, I miss Thailand..😍😍😍😍
Ying beautiful smile☺...I just love how you always have positive things to say about peoples. 🙏❤👪
It's amazing how happy you went on that "Crabburrito" love it 👍
Steeve 転 CS:GO Hacking lmao bro you are every where
indeed :D
STOP HACKING!
Mark was soooo excited! I noticed it!
Steeve 転 CS:GO Hacking yeah same feelings 😄
You're living my dream of traveling the world sampling the regional culinary art. Congrat's...
This is one of my favorites and how you pay your honest love and respects to this woman.
Wow I think that amount of crab meat and the giant shrimps were worth the money! Was hoping to see Micah when Ying said hi! Maybe we'll see him on the next video?! Still cannot stop laughing thinking about your slo-mo yummy face! Love it! :D
Love the video as always Mark, awesome food 😍👌🏼
Thank you Angie!
Your enthusiasm and positive energy is just awesome you deserve all the goodness coming your way
How happy you are.. when you are saying ' that's a crab egg burrito'❤️😂😊
I can tell she is in love with the food she's making. Great job!
Just returned from Thailand. Other countries should hang their heads in shame. The food there is as Mark says "insane and ridiculous." Flavor is everything there. No plain, boring food. Just wonderful, flavorful, light deliciousness.
Japan is the best
I think Mexico can compete 😏
KnotMyBuns Aye Bangladesh 🇧🇩 baby

That's completely true!
I currently don't understand what other countries should hang their head in shame for? 😂 every culture is different just like every cuisine. 😂😂😂😂
Super cool video!!! I first saw her on Netflix and became intrigued by her amazing story...I also saw her in one of your other videos when you guys went to your friend's restaurant. I'm going to Thailand just to see her 🇹🇭 ✈ 💃 🍤 🦀 🍲

It is very good quality, so the price is just right! I hate people hating on prices! If you don't buy it, just don't buy it! But put some respect on her name!
Bruno Schoelkopf I agree with you! For the quality you get, it’s not overpriced.
Yeah all those poor idiot ppl wont stop whining
Amazing Mama!Expensive but very good quality,fresh ingredients.yummmmyyy
Have you eaten there?
Thanks for the fine videos. I have been watching as many as I can. Hopefully she is still available to cook next month!
The amount of galangal, lemongrass, etc she put in that soup is mind blowing. The price tag is definitely a result of the quality/quantity of ingredients. Love it.
Looks mouthwatering. Hope I get to try some one day😊😊😊😊

Thanks you for good clips 👌👍it is very Delicious yummy yummy thai food 👌👍 you vedio is the bast 👌👍👏
Mark definitely knows how to appreciate the food and the emphasis in the impact the way he is just as our the way you see it you can definitely believe that it is delicious
She's actually on a Netflix documentary called street food. You guys should watch it, listen to her story. This woman is legendary.
Mark is above other food youtuber. He wrote down very detail the item and the price. IT IS IMPORTANT information before we visit the place.
Trevor james is better since he speaks the local language of various countries he visited plus he tries the most exotic Traditional food of that country, rarely that he goes to restaurants but trys all sorts of foods from the locals and thats why Food ranger is superior
@@jakereis1491 Trevor james can hardly speak the local language of any Asian countries.. if you think his chinese is good, its actually very bad
Eating at Jay Fai is such a beloved food memory! We ate the same as Mark here and can just confirm; she is truly legendary! Must go back when in Bangkok next time!
Good job Mark for letting me know of this great place to eat in Thailand!
6:18 "I can guarantee you this thing floats."
Yes, Mark. It floats. And when it floats, YOU'LL FLOAT TOO!
Wow, I have been to Thailand for about 5 times and I’m in love with Thai food 🔥 But after watching this clip, I think I need to check your channel again and pin all the places 😍 THE FOOD LOOKS SO YUMMY !!! O.M.G ☺️
Love your video, just found it. Over 50 years ago I was working for the air lines as a f/a. Bet you've never heard of someone going from NY to HK(Hong Kong) for the weekend! I did! When anyone, including other F/A's who thought I was crazy - they didn't want to be in the air on their days off - scoffed at me, I always told them "I travel to eat!" More than anything I LOVED to try foreign food - and I did. Around the world several times - as important to seeing the world was to eat the food! And yes, I've eaten all kinds of things most would stick up their nose at or just 'throw up' thinking about.
The last Thai restaurant I ate at in the US, I told them to make it "Thai style hot" & of course had to repeat it because they didn't believe me. A now old lady taking her 90 something mother out to eat! Well, after they brought the meal, my mother who was sitting facing the entry to the kitchen, told me it looked like the entire kitchen staff were peeking out to see if I was eating it. I'm sure there was total disbelief but the dishwasher saw the end result - almost didn't have to wash it cus I licked it clean! Ha! Ha!
Oh! to be young again! Keep it up - I love how happy you look eating something different! For those who want to try it - the trick is: Don't anticipate what it might taste like! Let it be a surprise for your taste buds.
Hoky Poky beautiful story! I absolutely agree with you about traveling to eat. I wish I could afford to go to all the places I want to.. maybe one day. If not I’ll try to do at least a few. Food rocks!
Blessing to you.
Her mole is her uniqueness that make people easy to recognize. Jay Faiiii
man that lady is a legend. so lucky to go there mark. awesome
Oh..!! Mark you are insane. I just can't believe how you manage all the things. Your video are outstanding but the way you talk make me mesmerized. You are amazing Mark.
Soon ill be in Thailand too and im going to try these. It looks so delicious :)

Thanks alot Rahul :)

Welcome to Thailand 😀
Yaas! Just saw her on Netflix's Street Food!
You can tell that she is a master at what she does and the fact that she has been cooking for such a long time!! 😮👍
2:55 " she's taking care of it like a baby " - while bathing it in hot oil
Harambe's Zoo keeper hahahhahahhahaha
What, you don't like deep fried baby ? What is the world coming to.
Wait that's not normal? I used to bath my baby in hot oil every day. Well I can't do that now cuz I can't cook in jail.
ROFL... Nice catch !
4:22 “she’s wearing lipstick, her lipstick is just perfect, and it’s very hot... let me show you”
Mark ur great fan lots of love from NEPAL💞💞
Drooled a little bit watching you eat the crab omelet. Looks so good!
I hope I can get to her resturant in my lifetime.Jay is the truth! Keep on cooking lady. It’s my passion as well.. keeps me happy.
Thanks for the video! If this lady can do it anyone can. Such an inspiration!
I admit that it is a daunting task for Mark (being a one man production team) to generate his travel and food vlogs twice a week. I have been watching Mark (as I stated in my previous comment) for a couple of years now. Before he reached a million fans I found the pace and frequency of his videos to flow well and they held my interest as I was very entertained and educated by them. As of late (with the addition of his two other channels he recently added) the flow is being broken up and fragmented to my chagrin. What I mean is the old format of visiting one country and posting a number of sequential daily videos was easy on the eye and mind. As of late Mark has been jumping from one location to another, posting one video here and another there which I find disconcerting. I realize that this new program platform (TH-cam) is in it infancy and with time the cream of the crop will figure out which style and formats work best. In all actuality it is no different from what goes on in the production offices of the major networks but without the committees. Just as I have grown tired of Parts Unknown because Anthony has slipped into an overly slick and overly produced program format. I would wish Mark would see his videos as postcards from a friend to a friend, kept on a human scale and targeted to a narrow but large audience of like minds. Cheap travels, good food finds and a wholesomeness that transcends the medium. I do not find the Food Ranger or the Dumpling guy to be on the same level as Mark. Mark is Mark because of his quirkiness and that certain charisma his possesses. I hope he evolves his channel with thoughtfulness and reflects on his success and how he got to where he is today.
ชอบคุณมาร์คพูดไทยครับ ชัดมากเลย เป็นชาวต่างชาติที่พูดไทยได้ดีงามน่ารัก ฟังสุภาพอ่อนน้อมสมเป็นเขยไทยมากเลยครับ ✌
I'm a filipino but i can say straight that thai food is the best in asia, hands down.. i just finished watching Chef Jay Fai netflix episode and wow! i can't wait to visit again thailand very soon!
One of the best crab omelette ever! She is not cheap with her crab meat. All her seafood dishes are amazing because they are super fresh and tasty! Definitely worth the long line 👍🌶🍲
I agree, her crab omelet is not cheap at all...very pricey
I’m a Thai people who eat this restaurant, i think the taste is so common but the material is very high quality. It’s about people who thinking about food’s price.

@@indrawijaya8652 Picking on the person clearly struggling at English. Really harvesting that low hanging fruit.
@@indrawijaya8652 get a life .. Indo English ain't no better too.
I can vouch for Jay Fai. I’ve eaten there many times. It’s my favorite restaurant in all of Thailand. Awesome! Cool to see in video.
Mark's review is spot on, even down to his comments on traffic in Bangkok.
After waiting 6 hours for a table, I was excited to live out my Netflix dreams of eating at Jay Fai.
To make a long story, her food was indeed good, very good, but at the end of the day, over-rated once you factor in the outrageous price vs. where else you can eat in Bangkok.
Jay Fai was indeed impressive as she was cooking there all day in the heat non-stop and every dish came out looking like it was ready to be on the cover of a food magazine.
After looking at her menu, besides a handful of her signature dishes which she could justify her lofty prices, everything else was just really, really expensive stir fry at literally 5x the price.
Not hating....just telling the reality to potential Jay Fai fans.
I TH-camd her cuz of the new Netflix documentary haha of course it didn’t occur to me u woulda tried her food already!!!! It all looks so good too I wish I could eat it too!! 😭😭 good going mark!!!!
Also I like how u described it especially mentioning that it isn’t over cooked. I really hate overcooked seafood!!! It just loses the consistency and flavor!! Also thanks for mentioning the prices cuz I’ve read her prices are too much
Same here, i was thinking if Mark have eaten her food, see her on Netflix a few days ago
What is the show called on Netflix.. im in bangkok and trying all types of food... so good!
Just watched the Netflix series too. Very moving and heartfelt story. The world needs more humanity like this. Their stories transcend race, class, etc...
Simon it’s called street food. It’s a new Netflix docu. The very first ep is bout Jay fai mostly but also about Bangkok street food and such
@@simonpeter92 It's called "Street Food"
Hi Mark, I'm going to assume it was $72.32 for two people. With the huge portions of crab and shrimp, it was worth it!
Hey Kevin, yes for everything we ordered.
Kevin P I think so
Not really. For a street food vendor in Thai, that's expensive. Mark is honestly blown away by the omelette, but not with the other dishes. I bet hes not going to come back again. For the omelette? maybe.. but for the soup and noodles? dont think so~
Forget about Thailand. How often do you spend $36 for one meal in your own country?? That's expensive!
I’m in the US. $72.32 is really normal for two people to spend at a restaurant, but add all that crab and jumbo prawns the bill will easily be over $100. So she’s charging a reasonable price for the ingredients.
That’s insane cooking and you mister have made me so hungry 😋
Omg! I will go eat this when I'm going to Bangkok next!
WELLCOME🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Mark must be really happy in this video lol I can literally sense his happiness eating this food.
4:20 "Her lipstick is just perfect...and its pretty hot let me tell you"
Patrick Ellman 😂
lol leave tht lady alone !
Jay Fai FOR PRESIDENT!
I literally enjoy watching while you talking and eating.
Her style is amazing and the food looks soooooooooo goood!
