| - Juree's is pretty tasty Thai in a nice room, especially if you love artificial plants.
If you're in the hood and in need of some Thai, Juree's is pretty darn good! The atmosphere is peaceful and there are enough artificial plants to give you a decently private dining experience.
I stopped in for the lunch buffet that runs Wednesday - Friday from 11am - 1pm. I'd imagine the menu changes, but for $13.50 you get your unlimited pick of a couple different curries and rice, pan fried fish cakes, a couple different salads including this scrumptious spicy pineapple one, and desert. I showed up close to the end of buffet time and everything was pretty good, but I wound up in my usual buffet conundrum. I just can't eat enough mediocre buffet food to make it worth the price. Other tables food came out quickly and looked delicious, and here I was scraping the bottom of buffet bins. If you're the kind of person that is usually satisfied with the portion of food you receive at a restaurant, I'd recommend bypassing the buffet. If you're in a rush and need to stuff you face, by all means, hit it up!
The standout buffet item to me was this creamy, sweet desert that tasted like a warm pudding concoction of coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk, loaded with root vegetables what I think was sweet potatoes, taro root, and something else I can't even come close to naming. LIke with most buffet items it was pretty easy to get over zealous with the quantity, and this stuff is filling!
I'd love to give Juree's another shot and this time miss out on the buffet. My longing for a great Thai restaurant with takeout within a 10 minute walk from my house warrants some further investigation. Until next time, Jure's is A-OK.
