JJ Thai Street Food runs a 28-seat West Town storefront built around chef-owner Jiranya 'Jina' Thosatheppitak, who grew up helping her mother cook before earning a formal culinary certificate in Thai cuisine.

The J.J. Tiger Cry brings real char, and the crispy pork belly salad is the dish people order as a main, not a side.

The menu reads like an actual Bangkok street-food lineup rather than a mall-food-court version of one: grilled squid in a spicy seafood sauce, egg noodles tossed dry with homemade barbecue pork, and breaded fried chicken draped over ginger-garlic rice are regulars on the table. Thai coconut pudding and a baked taro custard close things out for anyone who wants dessert that isn't fried ice cream.

It's BYOB, with stainless steel water glasses and fresh coconut water as the kind of small, specific touches that separate a real Thai kitchen from a generic one. Closed Tuesdays; the rest of the week runs a lunch service, a short mid-afternoon break, and dinner through 9 or 10PM depending on the night.
