For the Sinphoon

family, it's about family. "She wanted the restaurant so that the

family can have abusiness together," said Chan.

Lamai Sinphoon's

favorite dish is Pad Thai, and like all the rest of Thai Jasmine fare,

it contains no MSG. "We use all fresh vegetables that we get from

thefarmer's market," said Chan. "Even in the salad we use fresh

lemon juice, squeezed every day. Thai is not fattening; it's healthy."

"We also

use fresh basil, cilantro and lemon grass," said cook Samantha Jasler,

Lamai Sinphoon's sister. "Every Thai restaurant prepares the food

differently. I prepare it the way I like it. If I'm happy to eat it, I

think the customers will be, too."

In for a late

lunch, William Mobley of Fayetteville was on his fourth or fifth visit

to Thai Jasmine. He was eating a salmon dish with fresh vegetables and

rice. "Each time I come down I try something different," he

said. "It's priced reasonably, and it's very tasty. The service is

excellent."

"Already

we have regular customers," said Chan. "I know what they order.

I encourage them to try something different, to trysomething a little

spicy. It makes it taste better."

Price is also

a source of pride for the Sinphoons. "We want people to come in all

the time, not have to watch their budgets," said Chan. "We want

to be the kind of restaurant that people can afford to go to three times

per week."

Prices range

from $6.59-$7.95 for dinner entrees, and $5.59 for lunch. "If you

see an ingredient on the menu that you don't like, you can leave it off,

because we make everything fresh," said Sinphoon.

Thai Jasmine's

entrees generally have a choice of beef, pork or chicken, all with assigned

vegetables and seasonings. She recommends trying a sampling of their food.

A good menu for a couple dining out might be: Chicken Coconut Soup, Pork

Dumplings, Green Curry with Beef and Thai Herbs with Chicken.
