Jae's Cafe and Grill

5 star food in a 3-4 star category. You can't rate a small Thai place with 5 stars because a 5 star restaurant is going to be more like Menton... that said, if you could give 5 stars to Jae's they deserve it for their special take on delicious, fresh Thai cuisine.…

Great choice for meat-lovers, vegetarians and vegans alike. Some of my friends are vegetarians and vegans, so we are always searching for places to eat that provide enough options for both our veggie and meat-loving friends. Some restaurants provide more choices than others and land on our short list of go-to restaurants. Jae's Cafe in the South End is a definite group favorite. Our surburbanite friends also love Jae's Cafe because their valet parking is so convenient, especially on a cold winter night.

Jae's Cafe is small restaurant with a small bar area and a sushi bar as well. Both of those areas also have small flat screen TVs.

Although I love the dol sot bibimbap, their sushi is also really great. One of my favorites includes Jae's Screaming Roll 2. This is a maki roll containing tuna, cucumber, green onions and chili sauce. The sushi is out of this world delicious. The chili sauce is sparingly used in the sushi but packs a powerful punch without overpowering the roll.…

Understaffed but great food!. I went to Jae's for the 1st time on a recent Saturday night. The place was hoppin, and that is always a good sign. The restaurant was a little understaffed considering it was full house, but once we got the ball rolling it was a pleasant dining experience. The Miami Heat rolls are awesome, and the sashimi was top notch. The only item I would not order again was the satay appetizer, it was very bland and the peanut dipping sauce was watery and flavorless. The spicy Korean beef soup was a great choice, perfect for a still chilly early spring night. The Mai-Tai cocktails were delicious also. All in all a good experience, and will most certainly be back.…

Great little twist on sushi. In addition to the regular sushi items, they also had a lot of unique items. For example we got one roll called the Miami heat roll that had mango, jalepeno and crab in it, which i substituted salmon for (no extra charge), and my girlfriend got a spicy tuna tempora roll, and we thought the tuna would be tempora, but what they did was take a regular spicy tuna roll and fried the entire thing and then cut it up, it was nothing either of had ever had before, but it was delicious. Service wasn't the best, that's why it's not a 5-star…
