Recently I was taken to Jasmine by a group of co-workers who insisted it was definitely worth the trip down 65 from our office near 100 Oaks. I had been by the building before, but always thought the restaurant must be yet another incarnation of ""strip-mall Chinese,"" judging from the plain brick exterior.
Wrong on all counts. The interior sports nicely textured exposed brick walls, and low-slung bench tables like those in a sushi restaurant. The place was packed our first trip out?and given the dearth of restaurants in the area?is always a good sign.
Our service was fast and efficient, and nary a single error was made in anything. We passed everything around?highlights were the ginger tofu, the tom kai soup, and the spicy hung ray curry. Loved everything, and it was definitely a bargain for lunch at less than $10/per person. Will have to try the banana dessert on the return trip.
The only criticism I have would be that it will definitely take up 2+ hours to get in, eat and get back to work. Of course this was a noon?I'll have to try it at an off-peak time to see if the kitchen is a little speedier.
Pros: Consistent, cute, great value at lunch, tons of options.
Cons: Makes for a 2-hour lunch.
