“We had tom yum (chicken) and tom khai goong (prawn soups) If I have to compare then the best ever tom kha halal soup I had. It was amazing without any doubt and authentic.

Our order arrived in just 7 to 8 minutes, looking beautiful and tasting even better: * The Main Bowl: The Tom Yum broth was brilliantly prepared with vibrant, authentic Thai aromatics. Both the fresh prawns and mushrooms were incredibly tender, floating alongside glass noodles and fragrant herbs. * The Custom Enhancements: Faraz served it with a wedge of lime to perfectly balance the rich sourness. He also provided a fascinating three-layered special condiment featuring crushed peanuts, smooth cream, and a thick chili paste with a delightful sweetness that elevated the dish to a whole new level.”
Wanton Net +1

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Start Mild. If you are not used to Thai heat, ask for medium or lower spice first; reviewers found even mild or level-one dishes surprisingly hot.

Arrive Early. Go earlier if you want to dine in, especially with a group: the venue is tiny and tables can fill quickly.

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Limited Seating

The restaurant is very small, with limited indoor seating that can fill up quickly and may not suit large gatherings.

Spice Levels

Thai spice levels can be much hotter than expected: even level one may have substantial heat, and some dishes labelled mild were not mild to diners.

The Bottom Line

Asian Street by Thai is a small, casual Thai restaurant in Jumeirah Lake Towers where the main draw is traditional street-food flavour rather than a polished fine-dining setting. You can order familiar favourites such as green curry, pad Thai, tom yum and pad kaprow, with mango sticky rice a particularly consistent dessert recommendation. The food is often described as authentic by diners who have visited Thailand.

The green curry is noted for being light and balanced, while tom yum, pad Thai and beef pad kaprow each receive strong praise. Portions are commonly described as generous and reasonably priced, although one older review found the fried rice dry and bland, and another felt some dishes lacked extra refinement. This is a compact venue, so indoor tables can fill quickly and it may not work well for a large celebration.

Finding the lower-level location can take a little effort, and parking nearby may be inconvenient. Spice is the key caution: Thai levels run hot, with even level one carrying noticeable heat. Ask for a milder setting if you are unsure, mention allergies in advance, and consider ordering your own bowl—the Tom Yum Talay Woonsen reportedly proved too tempting to share.
