Arrived about 45 minutes before a Sox game on a Thursday night. Seated almost immediately (booth next to the large fish tanks). Ordered quickly and asked for fast service and we got it! Coconut shrimp, Pad Thai and Mango chicken were all excellent. Waitress knew we were in a hurry so she brought the dishes out as they were ready, which worked out great. When she was a few minutes late picking up our check, another of the wait staff came by and grabbed it. Even though we walked to Fenway (we were stuffed and wanted to) and there was a crowd at the gate, we still arrived before the bottom of the first. Now that's fast service! \r

I have been to Jae's many times in Boston and Brookline. The food is consistently good, the service great and the atmosphere pleasant if not particularly romantic. I highly recommend it to diners who like to mix and match Asian food in a casual, friendly environment.
Pros: great eclectic Asian menu, friendly waitresses, good service
Cons: not especially romantic decor (but clean and pleasant)
