Our Story: A Family's Dream

How It All Began🌅

How It All Began🌅

Growing up in Surat Thani, Thailand, food is more than just a meal—it’s a way of bringing people together. At Jai Dee Thai Kitchen, we bring the bold flavors of Thailand to Knoxville, TN. Whether you’re craving warm bowls of pho, flavorful noodles, or fresh sushi, we prepare every dish with care using traditional recipes.

Who We Are 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Who We Are 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
My name is Nutruja, and I grew up in Surat Thani, Thailand. After 30 years of cooking Thai cuisine, I wanted to share the flavors of my home with Knoxville. In 2022, with the help of my husband and two sons, we opened Jai Dee Thai Kitchen to serve fresh, authentic Thai food made with love.

Why "Jai Dee"? ❤️

Why "Jai Dee"? ❤️
In Thai, “Jai Dee” means “kind heart.” That’s what we put into every dish we serve. We believe that good food should be comforting, fresh, and made with care. Our goal is to make every guest feel like part of our family, whether you’re visiting for the first time or coming back for your favorite meal.
