Jasmine And The New Taste - Benton Park

If you visit on a busy day, be ready to get the attention of the staff! Make sure to speak clearly, as I had to wait for my order after confirming it, only to find out they hadn’t written it down. However, they did prepare it quickly once they realized. Overall, the food is quite good; I highly recommend the crab fried rice and the pork BBQ appetizer! They pair wonderfully for a lighter meal. The noodles we ordered were somewhat average, but still satisfying if you're feeling hungry. If you're dining with a group of four, the tables can be a bit cramped, so it’s wise to strategize which dishes to order to avoid feeling crowded. I'm sure they would happily arrange for a second table if needed.

In my view, Jasmine is the finest Thai restaurant in Bakersfield. I've been a customer since they first opened, and their flavors have always remained consistent. I'm a big fan of their Pad Keemao, which never disappoints. The chicken satay is fantastic, too. Plus, their lunch special is unbeatable, coming with Thai tea or a soft drink included. It's definitely one of my favorite spots to dine!

I visited for the first time today to try the lunch special, and it was fantastic! The service was friendly and genuine, making the experience even better. The food was delicious, and you can't beat the price for the portion size. I will definitely be coming back more often to explore other menu items as well! (The picture shows the medium spice Panang curry.)

Amended Review! This has to be one of the best lunch spots in Bakersfield. Their lunch special is exceptional and very filling for such a low price. See photo for the idea of what you get (not pictured: Free Thai Ice Tea that is included!! Love the friendly staff and fast order preparation. Pretty please SUPPORT THIS LOVELY LOCAL RESTAURANT!

I really enjoyed the orange chicken with the Thai tea. Lunch special is a killer deal.
