Serves meat, vegan options available. Finer dining restaurant with a full bar. Has a vegetarian section on menu. Open Tue-Fri 11:30am-2:30pm, Tue-Thu 5:00pm-9:00pm, Fri-Sat 5:00pm-10:00pm, Sat 12:00pm-2:30pm, Sun 5:00pm-9:00pm.
Thaijindesu was is great little restaurant. The decor is cozy, and the service was really fantastic. They have a vegetarian portion of the menu (Basil Tofu was ridiculously good!), but they're able to customize much of the rest of the menu as well. For example, I ordered the Pad Thai with vegetables and no egg, and my daughter ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice with tofu and no egg (served in a pineapple!). The food was delicious. If we end up in Newport News again, we'll probably stop by!
Thaijindesu is cute, parking is easy, and the food is fine, but if Hampton had more good vegan options Thaijindesu wouldn't be someplace I'd go out of my way to go. It has a small vegan menu; the eggplant delight is my favorite dish. It feels like they put much more effort into presenting their meat dishes, which come out served in huge pineapples, etc. I don't know why they don't offer tofu as a protein option for their non-veg-menu dishes; seems like that would be easy to do. Their veg sushi options are minimal; they should look to Kotobuki in Norfolk for great ideas for vegan sushi.
My fiancé and I went here after reading the reviews that it had good vegan/vegetarian food and it didn't disappoint! The menu had lot of different Thai and Japanese options for us and was enough that we'd love to come back to try more! Fair warning though, my fiancé got the veggie tempura and I don't know if it was a menu flaw or a flaw on our order itself, but it came with shrimp as well as veggies. :(
Thaijindesu is a unique dining experience for lovers of both Thai and Japanese cuisine. You like sushi? They have that. You like pad thai and thai curries? They have that too. There is an expansive list of veggie options, and the location (right in the beautiful square) is perfect and scenic
